Since 2009, a multinational program under the UNDP has been working with the Angola Ministry of Environment and local leaders to rehabilitate the park.
 Results have been recorded in the training and development of local staff, improvements to park infrastructure (fencing, roads, water supply, waste management, etc.),
and the development of sound management for Iona.

This park is to be included into the Iona - Skeleton Coast Transfrontier Conservation Area.

From January 2020 Iona National Park falls under the management of African Parks, a non-governmental organization (NGO) focused on conservation.
Together with the Government, African Parks will work closely with local communities, implement law enforcement, restore wildlife and position the park as a key destination, to ensure the long-term ecological, social and economic sustainability of Iona National Park.
