Environmental policy and administrative management

The project aims at raising environmental awareness and appreciation on the conservation of the Boro and Thamalakane river confluence popularly known as`the beach` through a series of kgotla meetings and a workshop, and eventually reaching a consensus on solutions that will mitigate against uncontrolled littering and destruction of the riverine ecosystem. The dialogue will subsequently lead to the formation of a legal entity that will enable the community to actively acquire and develop`the beach` for an eco-tourism venture, accrue benefit thereof and contribute to sustainable management of the ephemeral river basin. Additionally, the community will undertake a tour to exchange and share information and ideas with the other Community Based Organisations, enabling them to learn about tourism ventures, activities and the required business skills to run/manage such business enterprises.
