3. Monitoring Event books introduced in Omatendeka and follow-up in Ehirovipuka. Follow-up in all East Caprivi conservancies – this was a mid-year review for 6 conservancies/emerging conservancies. Evaluation of Tsiseb (RISE) Initiated event book at Otjimboyo (Swakop MET support) Filing system initiated in Caprivi

4. Management & Monitoring System

5. Mapping Boundaries for two new conservancies in process of being mapped in Otjouzondjupa. Boundary maps and descriptions have been completed for 3 conservancies in Kunene – Ozondundu, Okangundumba and Anabeb. Tracks and features mapped in Sorris Sorris – supported by MET. Mapping support to NACSO partners – e.g. Lodge development in north-west. Ortho-photos processed for the north.

8. Emerging Kunene Conservancies

9. Game Counts Counts undertaken in Caprivi conservancies. NRWG in partnership with IRDNC provided technical support. North-west count.

11. Support to MET Incident book for protected areas in north-east. Follow-up GIS support to Katima and Rundu. Briefing document on the impacts of trophy hunting in the north-west. Busy working with DSS and P&W Management Manual for THE UTILIZATION OF GAME IN CONSERVANCIES Establishing GIS for MET Tsumkwe office. Processed ortho-photos for rhino census.

12. Support strategy for GIS in Namibia Central Windhoek Node: Provides roll-out systems and baseline-data Provides technical support Provides and facilitates training Provides incentives for data sharing Maintains data standards, directory structures, metadata Acquires support for GIS development and provides grants to regional nodes Coordinates regional GIS activities Regional User Nodes: Essentially end users – practical people who occasionally use GIS in their daily work Depend on central support for training, baseline data, etc.

13. Other Activities Participation in WSSD through GISD alliance Benefits include: –Raising profile of CBNRM –Software –Geo-spatial resources –Webmapping and training
