Social upliftment

NAPHA has introduced an initiative called "Hunters Support Education". This project uses funds raised by hunters and hunting organisations worldwide.

For more information, about the social upliftment project, please contact:
Chairperson B. Rogl, Tel : +264 62 503712, E-mail : otjiruze@mweb.com.na.

Other Committees

Other committees are created on a yearly basis to research specific issues of sustainable utilization, handle projects and investigate new hunting methods. All committee members are elected at the AGM.

Please make sure that your outfitter is a NAPHA member to avoid disappointment or even conflict with the law.
