Local Level Monitoring for Enhanced
Decision Making: A tool for improved decision making by farmers
in Namibia.
This booklet was commisioned by Namibia’s Programme to Combat
Desertification (Napcod). It was prepared, compiled, laid-out and
edited by Jack R Kambatuku with input from Bertus Kruger, Dr. Mary
Seely, Nickey //Gaseb and Sharon Montgomery. Produced by the Communications
Unit of the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DRFN).
The booklet aims to introduce the process of local level monitoring
to enable local level
resource users to collect information on important indicators and
to use this information
to better manage their natural resources and make timely decisions.
The booklet is
accompanied by a detailed guide for use in the field and should
be useful for farmers,
extension staff as well as development agents. Free Download.

The
Forum for Integrated Resource Management: Putting communities at
the centre of their own development process.
This model, the

and being implemented since 1996 in the #Khoadi //Hoas Conservancy
in northwestern Namibia (Kruger, Gaseb, Klintenberg, Seely &
Werner, 2003). This booklet does not try to prescribe to the reader
how to establish a FIRM, but rather tries to share the Napcod experience
at Grootberg and how interested parties spearheading similar initiatives
somewhere else, might use this experience. Free download.
