OPENING REMARKS

The Chairperson opened the meeting at 10.15 hours by welcoming and thanking the participants for coming to the meeting. He apologised for the late start of the meeting and thanked the members for their patience.

The Chairperson informed the members that the Project commenced in 2013 and although the project had come to an end in January 2015 the Project terminal Evaluation took place in September 2015 so the terminal meeting had to take place after the report was finalized to take into considerations the lessons learnt and way forward.

She mentioned that although all activities were finalized there was still some administrative issues at the Ntambu Honey Factory that was handed over to the Community in August 2015.

She therefore appealed to the Meeting to review the situation and recommend to the Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources take the matter forward and aid the community members to administratively take control of the Factory.

The agenda was adopted;

Asset handover based on the minutes of the 8^th meeting of the Reclassification and Effective Management of the National Protected Areas System
Issues of the Ntambu Honey Factory
Lessons learnt from the evaluation report

READING, CORRECTIONS AND ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS NATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING

The minutes of the last meeting were adopted.

MATTERS ARISING

No matters arising.

ASSETS

It was discussed that the assets used at the secretariat during the life span of the project were on loan from the Reclassification and Effective Management of the National Protected Areas System and there for needed to be handed over back to ZAWA based on the the minutes of the 8^th National Steering Committee minutes and the final terminal review meeting that was held on 21^st July 2011.

The assets procured under the project need to be handed over to the recipients. The meeting was informed that this was indeed done in 2015 when the Honey factory was been handed over to the Community.

ISSUES AFFECTING NTAMBU HONEY FACTORY

The meeting was informed that although the factory as handed over to the Community they were still having problems to take control administratively even after having been trained. It was suggested that the lead ministry with the aid of UNDP affectively ensure that the community be enabled to take control by finding them a private partner under the PPP. This would mean that the Community Resources Board (CRB) wait for the elections to take place and the Village Action Groups (VAGs) to be elected, after this process the election of a board would take place that would enable the management of the factory be empowered to sign a contract with a private partner. It was noted that this would take time as the first two processes were out of the Ministry and UNDP control.

LESSONS LEARNT FROM THE TERMINAL EVALUATION

The report high lighted that the duration of the project was not long enough to effectively see the life span of the livelihoods projects through for effective management. The meeting discussed that some of these activities and monitoring could be undertaken during the GEF V project as this was in the same area as the DSG.
