The project aimed to minimise human-elephant conflict caused by water shortage in order to ensure the survival of elephant and other wildlife populations in the Nyae Nyae conservancy, while also promoting sustainable economic development for the resident population. The proponents equiped 2 boreholes for wildlife,repaired and 'elephant proofed' 3 exixting water points for wildlife,and make 3 existing water points fuctional for humans.Residents will be trained on elephant and water management , and game rangers were trained to monitor, record and report incidents related to water points. A management and maintanace system will be developed and implemented with stakeholders.

The Nyae Nyae conservancy covers approximately 900,000 hectares in the Otjozondjupa Region, Tsumkwe district, in east Namibia.The conservancy includes 30 villages with water points.
