Handsen Mseteka - COMACO person of the month

COMACO Regional Coordinator for Luangwa/Chongwe districts, Handsen Mseteka has proven to be an exceptional employee, as he continues to prove his abilities and talents.

Planning his regional activities and with a strong team backing him, he has been able to achieve excellent results in these districts since 2005. Handsen coordinates his activities through 6 community trading depots with the help of community trainers, depot managers and extension staff.
Using limited resources, Handsen has developed over 300 producer groups comprising of members who once had no idea of the economic losses that result from degrading natural resources and depleting wildlife populations. Under the COMACO model, they are now producers of wildlife by forming over 60 bee keeping producer groups, 10 vegetable producer groups, 36 rice growing producer groups, 26 fish farming producer groups, 23 cassava producer groups, 10 poultry producer groups and 15 goat producer groups.

With such impressive results that have allowed over 3000 families find alternative livelihoods, Handsen Mseteka has demonstrated an exceptional level of resourcefulness, discipline, dedication, imagination and innovation. Wildlife Conservation Society is proud to recognize Handsen as COMACO person of the month.
