Under the second phase of the PPI grant (October 2018 to April 2019), Hen Mpoano undertook thirteen (13) broad actions that resulted in the development and piloting of an operational action plan for CRMCs and CEC to manage natural resources in the LARB. With emphases on the technical assessment conducted in phase I which fosters informed decision making on the selection of areas for the creation of CREMA core zones in three communities, two remaining communities (Sawoma and Adelekazo) have also selected areas and created CREMA core zones for the protection of wildlife and conservation of nature.
