Deep in the Kalahari are the East and West Hanahai communities. CCB embarked on a expedition to engage with these communities on the 11th and 12th November 2019. The main objective of the participatory introductory meetings in the villages was to introduce CCB and its various programmes and interventions, and to understand current key challenges and opportunities related to natural and cultural resources from the communities’ perspective. Another driving reason was to assess and consider cultural resource management related interventions, while getting to know the stakeholders and players in the communities and current projects being undertaken in both villages.
Various stakeholders from Ghanzi DWNP, DEA, DVS, BTO, and Police joined in and participated at both village meetings. Both communities worked very hard and actively participated in the proceedings by outlining what they believe are their challenges, and what areas of development they wish to see implemented in their villages. Participants also listed practical ideas and priorities relating to the main objectives of the meetings.
As we get closer to implementation on several projects in the area, it is important that we gain deeper knowledge of the communities we are working with to establish the right interventions to introduce and nurture; working with various stakeholders for the betterment of the people and wildlife. The meetings were a success and CCB hopes to continue working together to sustainably safeguard our natural assets and enhance people’s well-being.
