The way we work

Adaptive management is
a viable alternative to
blueprints..

CARMa-Afrika
CARMa-Afrika is a
collaboration of like-
minded professionals and
practitioners in the Global
South who are developing
innovative monitoring &
adaptive management
solutions - on the ground at
local community level.
CARMa enhances collective
capacity in Africa for
adaptive management -
through learning by doing
and sharing knowledge and
tools about adaptive
monitoring & evaluation.
CARMa also facilitates
learning through training
courses, writing retreats
and proposal development
workshops.
The CARMa-Afrika
collaboratory is hosted by
Nelson Mandela
University's Sustainability
Research Unit. Strategies
and action plans are being
co-created with individuals
in NGOs, universities and
community-based
organizations across Africa.

resource management is
available..

models and tools exist..
Science-based
frameworks are
abundant..
The gap
The opportunity
..but available capacities are not being
harnessed
..yet models and tools are often
ineffective and outdated
..but collaboration and knowledge co-
production is lacking
