ADMINISTRATION
The administration and administrative management of
Coutada 5 provide for the establishment of a staff
structure. The role and mission of the staff
establishment is such that it will facilitate the
execution of the Coutada’s objectives:
“To ensure the effective conservation of the terrestrial
and freshwater resources by means of low intensity,
rigidly controlled and environmentally sensitive
commercial development to the benefit of the local
communities, investors, and the broader region., and to
ensure that the development guidelines of the Biodiversity Business Plan and
its associated subordinate plans, are effectively
implemented and all the project objectives are
ultimately realized”
To effectively serve the interests of the local
communities, a number of formal structures are in the
process of being established, namely a Government
Liaison Committee, and three community structures: the
overarching Coutada Community Trust, the Coutada
Community Conservation Committee and the Coutada
Community Agricultural Committee.
Personnel management will take place according to
Coutada Standing Orders and a Coutada Staff Code. A
preferential employment policy, in favor of the local
people, is implemented. Other aspects dealt with are
staff training, capacity building, waste management,
security and law enforcement, health management and
finally financial management.
