20 years of SADC Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCA) Investment

To celebrate 20 years of TFCA development and promote the visionary TFCA concept, this brochure aims to describe activities and results of the GDC/SADC-TUPNR Programme, document lessons learned and share knowledge derived.

The German government strongly believes in the TFCA concept as an integrated conservation approach and has supported SADC TFCAs from as early as 2002. In 2012, the German Development Cooperation (GDC) and SADC initiated a joint Transboundary Use and Protection of Natural Resources Programme (GDC/SADC – TUPNR) implementing activities at the regional and the local TFCA level together with SADC Member States with a wide range of implementing partners and local Community-based Organisations (CBOs).
