Environmental policy and administrative management

The Mazibakufa Development Trust is requesting funds for the implementation of the Environmental Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Natural Resources in Jackalas 1 Village project. The proposed project will directly address the aesthetic environment and socialization for the village, which has its own environmental management issues. The area is denuded due to multiple casual factors of vegetation depletion, overgrazing and a slope favourable to surface water run-off. The result is low crop productivity and damage to household livelihood; the womenfolk feeling the pinch even more severely. The Environmental Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Natural Resources in Jackalas 1 Village project aims to address some of these issues. It is intended to last 24 months and by the time of its conclusion, the community will be sufficiently capacitated to carry on with the sustainable development activities that the project includes.
