WWF KHETHA WORKSHOP – Shoki Mafogo

By -
On the 10th of September 2019, the WWF held a 3-day workshop in Tzaneen on Community Engagement. The workshop aimed at exploring the different approaches and strategies, particularly to promote alternative livelihoods in the context of illegal wildlife trade in the GLTFCA.
The 3-day workshop had over 90 participants and organisations from all over the country in attendance, including government authority institutions like LEDET; as the custodian of environmental affairs in the Limpopo province. 
The facilitation of the workshop was in such a way that presentations were done by respective participants under different themes, and the K2C had an opportunity to present on its implementation of DEFF’s Environmental Monitors program under the theme of ‘Youth Development and Skills support’.
This was really a great opportunity to outline the successes that have emerged from the project over the years with an emphasis of the data collection, the impact it has had on both the socio economic status of the participants and the environmental status as well.
This workshop proved to be a great opportunity to network with different institutions, for either purposes of prospective collaboration or exchange learning for benchmarking purposes.
