The overall objective of the SWM
Programme is to contribute to the conservation of wildlife and
ecosystems and the services they provide, as well as to improve the

on these resources. More specifically, the SWM Programme aims to
reconcile the challenges of wildlife conservation with those of food
security in a set of key socio-ecosystems (forest, wetland and
savannah), promote the sustainable and legal exploitation of resilient
animal populations by native rural communities, whilst also increasing
and diversifying the sustainable supply of protein to rural and urban
populations. please download the Document...

legal and technical constraints, land grabbing and revenue capture. All
of these have a detrimental impact on communities.

When a major drought hit the South-West
of Côte d’Ivoire in 2015, much of the expected harvest of the country’s
main commodity — cocoa — was lost and the livelihoods of thousands of
smallholder farmers were jeopardised. “I nearly lost my entire cocoa
plantation, except for in the areas where I had large trees,” says
Kouassi Akoura Apolinaire Yao, a young farmer who manages a two-hectare
plantation near Méagui, 400 km west of the capital Abidjan. “It was
these trees’ shade that saved the cocoa plants.”
