| dc.description | This report examines the socio‑economic conditions, governance structures, livelihood systems, and community participation within the Nyae Nyae Conservancy (NNC), Namibia’s first registered conservancy (1998). The study highlights the limited livelihood options in the area, where households rely on livestock, natural resource harvesting, tourism‑related activities, and craft production. Community participation in conservancy activities is high, although concerns remain regarding fair employment practices and insufficient information dissemination. The report documents benefit distribution practices, including annual meat allocations and occasional cash payouts, with most benefits directed to individuals. It also discusses the roles of government agencies, NGOs, traditional authorities, and the Management Committee in conservancy governance. Women’s participation, though present, remains low and requires targeted support. The craft industry is identified as a vital income source for Ju/’hoansi households. The study concludes with recommendations to improve community participation, enhance equitable benefit distribution, strengthen recruitment processes, and support food production and cattle ownership among the Ju/’hoansi people. | en_US |
