This project aims to address amongst others, the shortage of land problem whilst improving the socio economic status of the constituency?s inhabitants with the initiation of a community based bush encroachment management project.

In addition to demonstrating to the communities and the farmers the significance of environmental consiousness the project is expected to generate an income from the sales of bush logs, wood and/or coal products derived from the harvested bushes thus ensuring the sustainability of the project.
The Otjombinde Conservancy operates within the Otjombinde Consttituency with the exclusion of the Eiseb Block thus the proposed pilot project will operate within the aforementioned constituency with its head office in Talissmanus, approximately 230 kilometres East of Gobabis in the Omaheke region. The membership based conservancy boasts a memebership count of up to 380 registered members. This project has been granted a planning grant of U$ 2000 to develop a full proposal with recommendations as set forth in the notification letter dated 12 June 2006.
