Working on Fire 20th Anniversary Fire Symposium, 8 to 10 November 2023
|
|
The award-winning Working on Fire programme, funded through the Government’s Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) in South Africa, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2023. As part of their celebrations, they are hosting a Fre Management Symposium at the scenic Skukuza Conference Centre in the Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga. This WOF@20 Fire Symposium is hosted by the Working on Fire – Kishugu Joint Venture in partnership with the Nelson Mandela University and SANParks. The focus of this event is the coordination of fire management activities, on local, national and international levels.
The event caters for a very wide audience but will have a narrower focus on policy and decision makers. Local authorities, FPAs, Government policy makers, forestry companies, conservation agencies and the agriculture sector are therefore urged to participate in this event as it will serve as a platform for a fresh look at coordination and collaboration between stakeholders involved with Integrated Fire Management activities and responsibilities.
This event is proudly being supported by the Forestry Department of the Nelson Mandela University (NMU). The Department of NMU is recognised for its excellence and has earned the respect of the wider fire community through their various education programmes as well as biennale symposiums. The theme of the symposium is to foster greater collaboration, within and between states and is intended to provide a platform for greater collaboration on the African continent and international wildland fire forums.
