The main objective of the project is to develop an analytical document, complete with guidelines, for the establishment of a sanctuary area (art. 24 of the 2014 conservation law) with a no-fishing zone and a T.U.R.F., in the estuary of the Moniga River, in particular in the communities of Barrada, Gurae, Ilha de Idugo and in the locality of Nacuda.
We will work to strengthen and build the capacity of local organizations to implement the co-management framework and raise awareness among local communities of the importance of conserving natural resources.
In particular, we will act together with an environmental association, a spin-off of the UniLicungo University, to support initiatives for the co-management of natural resources and present proposals to donors.
We will also train SPAZ (Provincial Environmental Services of Zambezia) to have the necessary know-how to implement enforcement, licensing, resource and policy development in terms of co-management of natural resources.
At the end of the project, the local communities of Nacuda will be made aware of the importance of conserving natural resources and becoming active in the co-management of the environment.
