The CUVKUN Project participated in the UNDP’s Sustainable Environmental Management and Energy Resilience to Shocks and Crises (SEMER) Portfolio Programme Planning and Board Meeting, which took place 5–7 August in Windhoek.
During the meeting, the CUVKUN Project Coordinator Silvanus Uunona presented progress made across the 6 key components and highlighted opportunities for collaboration with other projects such as the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) IV Project that will maintain integrity of coastal and marine ecosystems and improve livelihoods of coastal communities along the coastlines of Angola and Namibia.
The session also provided a platform for other projects to present their 2025 Annual Work and Procurement Plans, exchange lessons, and align more closely with national and UNDP priorities. A key outcome of the 3-day meeting was to set milestones toward achieving 70% delivery by the end of 2025.
