National Parks Programm (Bwabwata, Mudumu, Mamili, Khaudum), Phase IIIb National Parks Program (Bwabwata, Mudumu, Mamili, Khaudum), Phase IIIb Im Rahmen des FZ-Vorhabens National Parks Programm (Bwabwata, Mudumu, Mamili, Khaudum) Phase IIIb (BMZ-Nr. - ) wird das namibische Umweltministerium bei der Entwicklung und Umsetzung von Ansätzen integrierten Parkmanagements in den nördlichen Nationalparks unterstützt. Die FZ-Mittel in Höhe von 3 Mio. Euro sollen zur Finanzierung von Investitionen in die Parkinfrastruktur im Mamili / Nkasa Rupara NP und als Ergänzung des bestehenden Vorhabens, National Parks Programm (Bwabwata, Mudumu, Mamili, Khaudum) Phase III, eingesetzt werden. Zudem soll die Umsetzung der integrierten Managementpläne und die Zusammenarbeit des MET-Personals mit den Parkeinwohnern und den angrenzenden Communities und Conservancies weiter unterstützt werden. Gemeinsames Ziel des laufenden Vorhabens und des Vorhabens IIIb ist der effiziente Schutz der Nationalparks im Nordosten Namibias gegen Nutzungsdruck. Dabei übernehmen die Parks eine Korridorfunktion für die Wildtiermigration und stellen eine konkurrenzfähige Touristendestination dar. Die Parkbewohner und die Anrainerbevölkerung sollen ökonomisch durch den Nationalparkkomplex profitieren. Aus Effizienzgründen sollen die ergänzenden Maßnahmen gemeinsam mit dem laufenden Vorhaben durchgeführt werden. Within the framework of the FC project National Parks Program (Bwabwata, Mudumu, Mamili, Khaudum) Phase III (BMZ No. 2009 66 770) the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism will be supported during the development and implementation of integrated park management approaches in the north eastern National Parks. With the measures being approved now the ongoing activities of Phase III should be supple-mented. The FC funds amounting to 3 million Euros will be used to finance investments in park infrastructure in the Nkasa Rupara NP and as a complement to the existing financing of the park infrastructure in the Khaudum NP. This is to ensure that, despite the substantial cost increases in recent years and the corre-sponding consequences for the financing of Phase III (see BE February 2015) fully functional stations in Khaudum NP exist. Additionally the implementation of integrated management plans and the cooperation of MET personnel with the park residents and neighboring communities and conservancies, especially in the Mudumu North Complex and the Rupara Mudumu South Complex, should be further supported.The common goal of the current project and the now tested complementary measures is the efficient protection of Northeastern Parks against use pressure. Thereby the parks play a corridor function for wildlife migration and also represent a competitive tourist destination. The Park residents and the local population should benefit economically through the park complex.The complementary measures are to be carried out together with the ongoing projects for effi-ciency reasons. The total costs of both projects totals around EUR 11.95 million, out of which approx. EUR 9.313 million are to be financed from FC funds.
