NACSO's Five-Year Strategic Plan 2011-2015

Introduction

In 2001 NACSO developed a five-year strategic vision for CBNRM in which it set out an overall goal and set of objectives to guide the organisation's activities. Since then major changes have taken place within the National Conservancy CBNRM Programme, with 71 conservancies now being registered. The programme initially focused on wildlife but now has expanded its scope to include indigenous plants, holistic range management, conservation farming and forest products. There are now 13 registered community forests and there are growing links between conservancies and community forests to the extent that a National Conservancy and Community Forest Programme has now emerged. The programme is now a multi-faceted conservation and rural development programme that encompasses several different natural resources across most of the country, provides income to marginalised rural people and establishes management systems for communal land and resources.

The NACSO Five-Year Strategic Plan for the period 2011-2015 is designed to meet the new challenges of the expanded national programme. It is also designed to assist in implementing the vision and objectives for the National Conservancy and Community Forest CBNRM Programme.
