Strengthen management of PA cluster
Strengthening management effectiveness of the Kidepo critical landscape PA cluster to produce the following outcomes:
  • Increased coverage of PA by 95,600 ha over a baseline of 240,075 ha. and designation of buffer zones to conserve dry season refugia for wildlife (227,389 hectares)
  • Reduced poaching pressures over an area of 428,311 ha comprising seven PAs (national parks,forest reserves, wildlife reserves, wildlife sancturaries and a community wildlife management area)
  • Management Effectiveness Score for Kidepo critical landscape PA cluster (KVNP), Nyangea-Napore, Morungole, Zulia and Rom Forest Reserves and Karenga Community Wildlife Reserve); increased over the baseline score by at least 40%.  (Baselines and targets will be defined during project preparation)
  • Key indicator species (elephants, ) in  the Kidepo critical landscape PA cluster show measurable increase in numbers  (Baseline to be clarified during project development)
