CLN: fostering transformative change and adaptive management in southern Africa
Community Leaders Network is a collaborative grouping of rural representatives from Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
We recently engaged with the SADC Secretariat to establish a formal partnership. This meeting aimed to introduce CLN as a regional voice for community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) and to explore pathways for collaboration with SADC and its Member States. 1/5
