Team Members
I work with communities in the community development sector, holding a Master’s degree in Rural Development Sciences. Since 2003, I have held various management and leadership positions, gaining extensive experience in providing technical assistance and support to rural communities. My expertise includes implementing resilience measures and practices to enhance community mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Since 2018, after completing specialised training at the Africa Centre for Holistic Management in Zimbabwe, I have been coordinating the implementation of the Herding for Health (H4H) program in Mozambique's Limpopo National Park. I am also leading efforts to expand the program to Banhine and Maputo national parks.
Our Challenge
Uncontrolled animal movement is one of the biggest challenges in communal rangelands. Livestock that is not kraaled and herded properly results in:
- Rangeland degradation
- Predation
- Disease transmission through contact with wildlife
- Poor herd health (high mortality and morbidity)
- Poor production
- Stock theft
- Tourism conflict
- Poor market and trade confidence
Our Opportunity
Regaining livestock movement control in communal rangelands through skills development, improved resources and incentives can lead to multiple positive effects.
