Southern African Wildlife College
Since its establishment in 1996, the Southern African Wildlife College has helped train over 25,000 people from 63 countries across Africa and beyond by partnering with conservation agencies, local communities, governments, and other educational institutions both locally and internationally. Alumni work in 133 parks across Africa and are responsible for some of the world’s most biologically diverse areas.
As an accredited Higher Education and Training institution, the aim of the College was, and remains, to meet SADC training needs within the sphere of natural resource management, essentially providing conservation impact through quality education. Every year, four KfW Stiftung scholarship holders are trained in environmental and nature conservation and the associated wildlife management. This also includes involving the local population and establishing sustainable tourism in one of the world's most biodiverse regions. This empowers communities to manage natural resources responsibly and improve their livelihoods.
AAs part of these and other training initiatives, the College partners with Peace Park Foundation, a long-standing project partner of KfW Development Bank.
