Abstract

This policy brief provides decision and policy makers with an overview of the strength of using participatory scenario planning with communities in trans-frontier conservation areas, to guide future discussions on potential development options based on communities’ self-identified needs, visions and aspirations. Community participants in the Sengwe Communal Area, Chiredzi District, Zimbabwe, and in the Great Limpopo Trans-frontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA) developed proposals which focus on changing and improving livelihoods.
