Summary
Human Wildlife Conflict (HWC) is becoming the leading challenge in conservation area management, especially in densely populated Uganda. This project will address existing knowledge and capacity gaps within Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) personnel who are mandated to understand, monitor, report and address HWC through a range of interventions. The project will train and mentor UWA staff in critical technical skills (e.g. electric fence construction, data collection, GIS mapping, SMART etc.) to improve HWC management in protected areas across the country.
