To achieve the Conservancy management objectives, two zones (High Use Zone and Low Use Zone) have been developed. The High Use Zone provides for multiple land use activities such as livestock production, mining and installation of infrastructure while the Low Use Zone provides for wildlife conservation, research and tourism. Management Programmes 3. The Plan comprises four (4) management programmes; Conservancy Administration and Management, Community and Partnerships, Ecological Monitoring and Research, and Enterprise Development. These programmes are summarised in the following sections. 3.1 Conservancy Administration and Management Programme The Conservancy Administration and Management Programme’s purpose is to promote the development of a professionally managed conservancy that fosters ownership, compliance and stakeholder collaboration. The programme also aims at providing security for wildlife, visitors and Conservancy property and assets in addition to overseeing an institutional framework for creating a model conservancy. The programme aims to achieve these goals through: ensuring optimum staffing, natural resource protection, securing the Conservancy assets, enactment and implementation of conservancy policies, compliance and reporting. 3.2 Community and Partnerships Programme The Community and Partnerships Programme purpose is to enlist community support for wildlife conservation and management, and to create and maintain partnerships with stakeholders. The programme aims to achieve this purpose through implementation of a set of objectives that focus on: creating meaningful partnerships with the community and other stakeholders, creating stakeholder engagement platforms for participation, collaboration and cooperation, and strengthening existing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and incentive mechanism for wildlife conservation. 3.3 Ecological Monitoring and Research Programme The Ecological Monitoring and Research Programme’s overall goal is to enhance the understanding of the ecology and population dynamics of wildlife species within the Conservancy. The programme intends to enhance maintenance of Savannah biodiversity and reduce redundancy in the Conservancy, ensure holistic management of TCA connectivity, foster complex adaptive system thinking in conservancy management and strengthen collaborative research that broadens participation. This will be achieved through implementation of management objectives that focus on enhancing the collection and dissemination of research data in the area and promoting nature-based solutions and actions within the Conservancy. 3.4 Enterprise Development Programme The Enterprise Development Programme aims to develop high quality and sustainable tourism that offers memorable visitor experiences and benefits to the local community. The programme also seeks to ensure that the Conservancy utilizes best livestock production techniques and practices to revolutionize production and increase its potential, identifies processes for the generation and transfer of carbon assets in the Conservancy, sustainably manage geological resources through integrity, application of environmental safe guards and equality, and supports increased resilience against climate change through adaptation strategies. Plan Implementation, Monitoring, and Evaluation 4. A 10-year implementation plan has been developed to facilitate the implementation of the Conservancy Management Plan. The plan outlines the management actions under each of the four (4) management programmes and prioritizes them in order to implement the plan successfully.
