Project Characteristics and Results
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
By virtue of the project location deep in the Zambezi River valley, the initiative has become just one of the few activities directly targetted towards international waters within the whole of the Zambezi Valley. This way it has carved itself a strategic place in terms of promoting community based activities targetted towards an environmental issue of global concern.
