how to implement herding for health

Herding for Health has developed toolkit of steps and resources to guide implementation partners and communal rangeland communities in Africa towards successful implementation.

Full implementation

  • South Africa: Eastern Cape, K2C, Namaqualand
  • Mozambique: Limpopo National Park
  • Botswana: Eretsha and Habu

Early-stage implementation

  • Zambia: Simalaha Community Conservancy

Post feasibility: soon-to-be-launched

Post feasibility: soon-to-be-launched

  • Zimbabwe: Maramani (Greater Mapungubwe National Park)
  • Botswana: National implementation
  • Mozambique: Maputo Special Reserve, Banhine National Park

Most of these sites are relatively new and in pilot phases, leaning heavily on the experience of a few established interventions, mainly in South Africa and Kenya, which serves as demonstration sites.

Already in South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique, the value of some level of demonstration from which to expand our rangeland effort with additional co-funding and landscape-level partnerships has proven valuable.  

Demonstration sites are considered sites where proof of concept is visible with tangible impact and results. These sites offer valuable support and learning to new pilot sites as they have already achieved a degree of sustainability and community-driven compliance.
