Raising community awareness on community communication within community forests

As part of the project "Establishing legal foundations for sustainable forests and livelihoods", particularly its gender integration component, awareness-raising was organised for communities in Ogooué-Ivindo.

Objectives

The aim: to strengthen community communication within community forests, so that communities can:

• Better defend their rights
• Document their land uses
• Participate in decisions concerning their territory

This approach is part of a broader vision of participatory governance and recognition of local knowledge.
