Novafrica has been doing Community Based Natural Resource Management work in the Eastern Cape in partnership with RULIV since 2005. The outcomes of this programme had profound positive impact on socio-economic developments of the province.

The Nqabarha and Machubeni communities had benefited from Participatory Development Approaches (PDA) as adopted and

applied by Novafrica to emancipate people from the poverty circle. As a result of good facilitation by Novafrica expertise natural resource management projects have yielded many desirable spin-offs which guarantee sustainability of diverse development interventions.
