The SWM Programme promotes sustainable Devil's claw harvesting in Namibia #swmprogramme
In Namibia’s dry, open landscapes, a small plant plays a big role. Devil’s claw is recognized around the world for its natural health benefits. Namibia supplies over 90% of the world’s Devil’s claw, which is classified as a protected species. Therefore, harvesting is regulated to ensure long-term availability. The SWM Programme is working with local partners in communal conservancies and protected areas to promote good harvesting methods and fair prices. The SWM Programme is an international initiative, co-funded by the European Union, the French Facility for Global Environment and the French Development Agency. It is being implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR-ICRAF) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
