Bio-diversity

The project intends to improve the livelihoods of the Xai Xai Community by developing the Gchwihaba Caves which fall under the mandate of the CCTT. The project will achieve this by building an entrance gate to the east and west of the caves and also construct campsites at the caves. This will enable CCTT to collect revenue from the tourists who visit the caves, and also to market crafts and other cultural artefacts that are made by community members. In addition, the project will build the capacity by training ten (10) community escort guides (in collaboration with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks and the Department of Art Gallery and National Museum) and two (2) book keepers. These guides will increase the number of agents policing the Gchwihaba Caves thus ensuring their sustained preservation and conservation. The development of these facilities will laso attract more tourists to the area thus bringing more revenue to CCTT.
