Project Characteristics and Results
Notable Community Participation
Ideas for this project were identified during public meetings between the community, and the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DFRN), initially. Thereafter, the OIKE Committee requested the coordinator Ottilie M. Amaambo to compile the draft concept as well as the overall concept. OIKE planned six (6) stakeholder meetings one (1) at each project sites that makes four (4) and two at Onkani centre. These two (2) are considered as big workshops because all project sites chairpersons are invited by OIKE to attend the informative meetings. The main goal of the workshops was to discuss and sharing information that will enables the facilitators to assist in compiling the overall final concept.
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
OIKE wants to support communities for ensuring preservation of their soils, conservation and restoration of the structure and functionality of the ecosystem; this is focused with in the OP 15 of the GEF focal area in Land degradation, whilst it supports potential activities that seek the creation of community-based livelihood alternatives to relieve pressure on conservation areas.
