    ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING REPORT FOR PETER TSHILUMBU TSHEEHAMA GARDENING PROJECT - OSHIKUKU Oshikuku constituency Omusati region Namibia By: Lysias Uusiku 1 1. Introduction Peter Tshiluba Tsheehama gardening project also known as Kuku GwAmutenya project is a 3.4 hectares in size and was established in 2005. As required by the Environmental Management Act (Act No. 7 of 2007) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations of 2012 (Government Notice No: 30), listed activities may not be undertaken without an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC).

The project was established with the aim of producing quality horticultural produce and creating employment opportunities for the members. The project is primarily producing maize, butternuts, tomatoes, cabbages, pumpkins, green pepper, watermelons and onions. More products such as carrots, potatoes, mangoes, lemons, spinach, cow peas and potatoes may be produced as the demand dictates. The long-term objective of the project is to become the main horticulture producer in the North Central Regions of Namibia. The project has a leadership committee made up of the members who oversee the day to day running of the project operations. The current committee members are: I. Ms. Irja Malima: Chairperson II.
