Namibia: Promoting the sustainable harvesting of devil's claw
Raw material preservation through sustainable harvesting techniques.
Devil’s Claw is an indigenous plant growing in Namibia. The roots of the wild plant are harvested and processed by collectors from rural communities. Among them are ethnic minority groups for whom devil’s claw represents an important source of income. Over recent years, unsustainable harvesting practices have put the devil’s claw plant at risk.
To contribute addressing this issue, we are supporting a training programme on good harvesting and processing practices across devil’s claw communities.
This programme is complemented with the establishment of day care solutions for working mothers with young children.
