Nkulivere Rising: In conversation with Werner Mbongo on NILALEG’s Initiatives in Kavango West

In the verdant expanses of the Nkulivere landscape in the Kavango West Region of Namibia, a transformative initiative, managed by the Namibian Nature Foundation under NILALEG, is taking root. The NILALEG project is at the forefront of pioneering development, aiming to uplift local communities through sustainable natural resource management by integrating environmental stewardship with economic growth. I recently had the opportunity to discuss this initiative with Werner Mbongo, the project coordinator for NILALEG’s Nkulivere landscape, as we sat on the banks of the Okavango River just outside Nkurenkuru.
