The Namibian Association of Community-Based Natural Resource Managment (CBNRM) Support Organisations (NACSO) is an association of 12 CBNRM service organisations - 11 non-governmental organisations and the University of Namibia.

AIMS

  • To provide quality services to communal area communities who seek to manage and utilise their natural resources in an equitable and sustainable manner; and
  • to harness the wide range of skills available to government, non-governmental organisations, and university sector into a synergetic nation-wide supportive CBNRM movement. This philosophy is premised upon the fact that no single institution houses all of the skills, resources and capacity to provide community organisations with the multi-faceted assistance required to fully develop the broad range of CBNRM initiatives taking place in Namibia.
