July 2009 - Kalahari Garden Project

2-year mark for the KGP

The Kalahari Garden Project began two years ago in July 2007. It was designed to be facilitated by GDF, Komeho Namibia and WIMSA for this period of time.  After reviewing our progress we have decided to extend the current project management until September 31st 2009. Following this date, Komeho Namibia will take over the management and supervision of the project for a further three years.  Since March, GDF has been in a period of management transition to phase out GDF’s physical presence on‐site, while Komeho Namibia assumes greater responsibility for project supervision. This is part of the overall aim of reducing constant on‐site assistance, empowering the beneficiaries to manage the project alone and ultimately making the gardens self‐sustainable.
