dc.description This report outlines the North Central Community-Based Natural Resource Management and Enterprise Development (NCCED) Project, a collaborative initiative implemented by the Rossing Foundation and the Namibia Community Based Tourism Association (NACOBTA), in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET). Funded by DFID‑Southern Africa, the project aims to reduce rural poverty in the north‑central regions of Oshana, Omusati, Ohangwena and Oshikoto by strengthening community capacity to manage natural resources and develop livelihood opportunities in tourism, crafts production and community‑based enterprises. The project focuses on establishing ecologically, socially and economically sustainable CBNRM initiatives; enhancing institutional and management capacity of community structures; and promoting income and employment generation through crafts and tourism. Implementation initially targeted four sites, with successful progress in the King Nehale Resource Area and Uukwaluudhi Conservancy, while activities in Lake Oponono (Omadhiya) and Efoetalala were terminated following community and regional consultations. The NCCED project highlights the importance of local empowerment, participatory decision‑making, and diversified livelihood options as strategies for sustainable natural resource management and rural development. en_US
