Greenspace is a non profit voluntary organisation.
VISION
To contribute to the sustainable protection, development and management of open spaces in rural areas, in cooperation with local authorities, and through public discussion and participatory community action.
MISSION
To work within a framework of the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia towards establishing and maintaining a sustainable greenbelt network for urban Namibia.
AIMS
- • To build awareness of the concept of a greenbelt network and its benefits, including the establishment and maintenance of links with similar and related organisations within and outside Namibia;
- • to promote the sustainable and environmentally sensible utilisation of open spaces by identifying, launching and supporting own and other projects aimed at specific components of the envisaged network;
- • to integrate Greenspace's objectives and strategies into national, regional and local planning in human settlements; and
- • to propose an open space system (greenbelt network) for Windhoek, incorporating existing, proposed and potential parklands, riverbeds, recreation spaces, conservation areas and other unproclaimed areas.
ACTIVITIES
Greenspace leases the Avis Dam from the Windheok Municipality, keeping it preserved in its natural state, rehabilitating damaged areas and ensuring it stays crime free so that visitors can relax and enjoy nature.
