Date: 2023-02-24

The Kavango–Zambezi (KaZa) Transfrontier Conservation Area is one of the largest conservation areas in the world, spanning the international borders of five countries in Southern Africa. It is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, much of which resides outside national parks and protected areas. Poaching, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict present many challenges.

Find out how the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is supporting Community Conservancies to improve community livelihoods and the sustainable management of wildlife in Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. 

The SWM Programme is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States. It is funded by the European Union and co-financed by the French Facility for Global Environment and French Development Agency.  

It is being implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
