A group of women community scouts from Conservation Lower Zambezi met with the United States Second Gentleman, Doug Emhoff, in Lusaka National Park during the Vice President’s visit to Zambia in May 2023. Over the last 5 years, the USAID Integrated Land and Resource Governance program has worked with government and conservation NGOs like Conservation Lower Zambezi to recruit and train women for community scout positions, a traditionally male-dominated sector. Scouts patrol Zambia's National Parks and adjacent Game Management Areas, contributing to biodiversity conservation to protect Zambia’s natural resources for generations to come.
