Novel approaches for engaging Indigenous Peoples and local communities on wildlife and food security. Innovation case study

The SWM Programme is working to improve rural governance systems, so that communities are in a better position to sustainably manage their natural resources and improve their well-being. Making this happen isn’t simple. It requires accountable and transparent systems that empower communities to govern their territories effectively. It’s about building real partnerships based on trust and mutual respect. It means listening to the needs and ideas of the people who call these places home and working together to find solutions that benefit everyone. It’s about recognizing that communities are the true stewards of their lands and resources and supporting them in their efforts to protect and sustainably manage these vital natural assets. Community engagement is a two-way process of exchange and dialogue between project staff and all segments of the communities, which involves a wide spectrum of established approaches and good practices.
