Honours degree in Agriculturespecialising in Livestock or Wildlife or Fisheries.2.GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMMELivestock and Wildlife have a legitimate, viable and competitive land use now wellestablished in Africa. Zimbabwe played a leading and pioneering role in developinglivestock, wildlife and sheries as land use options in both commercial and communalarea farming sectors. On marginal lands, the sector generates foreign exchangeearnings and provides incentives to conserve the country s wildlife and biodiversity.Masvingo province is home to a number of wildlife protected areas and sherieswhich are interfacing with livestock production systems. Most people seek to make animpact at the national level and local level. The major challenge is therefore todevelop sustainable Livestock, Wildlife and Fisheries institutions that serve both toprotect the resources and provide incentives for sustainable harvesting andconservation. These issues are the focus of this programme.3.OBJECTIVESThe programme attempts to achieve the following objectives:3.1To enhance ef ciency and effectiveness of the utilisation and conservation oflivestock, wildlife and sheries.3.23.33.44.To demonstrate knowledge on sustainable use of natural resources.To capacitate institutions in value chain addition to contribute to ruraldevelopment.To design appropriate production systems for different stakeholdersCAREER PROSPECTS9
