Description
In this episode, Venture Media collaborates with the Namibia Integrated Landscape Approach for Enhancing Livelihoods and Environmental Governance (NILALEG) to explore a transformative project in Namibia. The initiative, led by Jonas Nghishidi and supported by the Global Environmental Facility and the UNDP, aims to integrate conservation, agriculture, and governance to enhance the livelihoods of over 20,000 Namibians. Emphasising integrated landscape management, NILALEG addresses global challenges such as biodiversity loss and climate change, aligning with the UN’s SDGs. Through multi-stakeholder coordination and a grant mechanism supporting community projects, the initiative has made significant strides in sustainable development and gender mainstreaming. Partnerships with local institutions enhance its impact, promising lasting improvements in environmental governance and a balanced coexistence between people and nature in Namibia.
