M&E

Welcome to the KAZA Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) page.

This is KAZA’s centralized repository for progress reporting on key biological and socio-economic indicators, supported by the KAZA Impact Monitoring Working Group (KIM) which is comprised of the KAZA Secretariat, Peace Parks Foundation, WWF Germany, and WWF Namibia.

What is the KAZA M&E Tool

KIM has collaborated to develop a user-friendly, spatial monitoring tool that enables multiple parties to assess the change in biological and socio-economic indicators (both spatial and non-spatial) and the achievement of the indicator targets in relation to baselines. This system supports the evaluation of the impact that projects and investments have made in KAZA over time and enables informed adjustments of existing projects (adaptive management) as well as a responsible planning of future initiatives.
