Transboundary Cooperation to Combat Wildlife Trafficking
In October 2021, the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Combating Wildlife Trafficking (CWT) Learning Group hosted a peer-to-peer learning exchange on transboundary cooperation to combat wildlife trafficking. The webinar spotlighted VukaNow, a regional activity operating across eight countries in southern Africa to enhance collaborative efforts to combat wildlife crime by catalyzing learning, sharing, and best practices. USAID participants worldwide discussed their experiences with transboundary cooperation and heard from VukaNow Chief Technical Advisor Dr. Simon Munthali, and Ashley Netherton, USAID/Southern Africa. This brief summarizes the lessons from this event and knowledge harvesting sessions with four USAID staff working in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and select USAID program evaluations.
