Community Conservation Fund of Namibia

The Community Conservation Fund of Namibia (CCFN), in partnership with the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), has successfully completed and commissioned digital communication support systems aimed at improving connectivity and access to information within communal conservancies in the Zambezi Region.

Human-wildlife conflict remains one of the most pressing challenges facing Namibia’s communal conservancies, particularly in regions where communities live in proximity to predators such as lions, hyenas, and leopards. Livestock losses not only threaten household incomes but also undermine community support for conservation. In response to this challenge, the Poverty-Oriented Support to Community Conservation in Namibia (POSCCIN) Project continues to deliver practical, community-driven solutions that promote coexistence.

Minister Indileni Daniel joined stakeholders on Wednesday to commemorate the 2026 Environmental Knowledge Day under the theme “Driving Sustainable Impact Through Strategic Partnerships”. The event highlighted the importance of collaboration across government, the private sector and civil society in addressing Namibia’s environmental challenges, with a strong emphasis on partnerships as a driver of sustainable impact.
