USAID Grant to WPAZ:

It gives me great pleasure to announce that the USAID Grant to WPAZ has been approved.

This will bring a great capacity to the association and allow us to achieve more through the Employment of an Operations Manager and secretary as well permanent offices at the ZNFU.
The subcontract is valid for a year and allows us time to get organised and strive towards self-sustainability and a better future.

Please Note:

DNPW appears to be having a challenge issuing permits and we all need to keep our businesses running.

In view of this please make your WPAZ payments, DNPW proof of payment, WPAZ renewal forms and annual game ranch return and you can pay for and collect your GTRbooks. No need to wait for DNPW to issue your permits.
