Leadership

Fellowship

Strengthening leadership capacity, collaboration and practical skills among conservation practitioners across the KAZA TFCA.

A regional leadership development programme for conservation practitioners in the KAZA TFCA.

The CRA Conservation Leadership Fellowship is a regional leadership development programme designed to strengthen leadership capacity, foster collaboration, and equip conservation practitioners with practical skills to address complex conservation challenges across the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA), which spans Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
