The Annual AZEF Forum

AZEF brings together scientists, students, conservationists, agricultural managers, local government, NGOs, the private sector, and land owners.

Annual meetings play a critical role in the evaluation of research and scientific knowledge and co-learning and networking between scientists, students and land-owners.  

The annual meetings are held every year at a different place in the arid part of southern Africa.
