With the involvement of local communities, the project will design and implement a natural resource management program for Gonarhezou National Park on the Mozambique and South Africa border, complementing the Mozambique Transfrontier Conservation Areas project. It will rehabilitate the infrastructure of Gonarezhou to stimulate eco-tourism, develop community wildlife management and sustainable use programs and strengthen park management capacity.
