This report presents the results of the first meeting of botanical garden representatives of southern Africa at the Regional Workshop on Networking Southern African Botanical Gardens convened by the SABONET Project. Workshop participants represent twenty botanical gardens in eight southern African countries (Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe). Although Angola and Swaziland form part of the SABONET Project, they were not included in the workshop, as neither country has a botanical garden.

This is the first Action Plan for cooperation amongst southern African botanical gardens ever produced, and bears testimony to the impact the GEF/UNDP-funded SABONET project had on botanical diversity, capacity building, networking, and cooperation between plant diversity specialists in southern Africa. The initiatives associated with this Action Plan formed part of SABONET’s capacity-building activities within the region.
