Communities Combatting Illegal Wildlife Trade: online learning series for the East African Community region session three

Télécharger pour lire hors ligne

This is a presentation from the third event of an online learning series for the East African Community region on communities combating illegal wildlife trade.

The event took participants through the first two steps of the ‘Local communities: First Line of Defence against Illegal Wildlife Trade (FLoD)’ methodology, which aims to support designers and implementers of anti-poaching and anti-wildlife trafficking strategies and projects to effectively engage local communities as partners.

The events are organised by IUCN, together with the International Institute for Environment and Development and IUCN CEESP/SSC Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group. They are supported by USAID Kenya and East Africa through the Conserving Natural Capital and Enhancing Collaborative Management of Transboundary Resources (CONNECT) project, and will supplement the comprehensive training course on FLoD, which is currently under development with support from the BIOPAMA programme, supported by the European Union and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States.

  4. 4. DECREASED PRESSURE ON SPECIES FROM ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE . Four Primary Pathways A. Increase costs of participating in IWT C. Decrease costs of living with wildlife D. Increase non-wildlife- based livelihoods B. Increase incentives for stewardship
  5. 5. For each pathway… ENABLING ACTIONS INTERVENTIONS OUTPUTS PRIMARY OUTCOMES ASSUMPTIONS ASSUMPTIONS ASSUMPTIONS INTERIM OUTCOMES ASSUMPTIONS
  6. 6. Highlights from the discussion • The organisation implementing the intervention may bias outputs of the FLoD methodology – independent facilitation is preferred • Potential use for project design rather than just with existing projects – useful approach to ensure community input into design • Different wildlife-related contexts for which this approach might be useful – bushmeat, sustainable land management or natural resource management, other community-based conservation initiatives; etc. • Usefulness of approach in other contexts, e.g. other crime fields; health sector; climate change adaptation and gender responsiveness around all these issues • Interest in FLoD methodology for a variety of different sites in East Africa

  9. 9. Next 4 sessions: what do we mean by a Learning Event? What it is: − Shares uses and contributions of the methodology − Explains concepts and principles that underpin it − Describes steps involved in implementing it − Introduces tools that can be used − Promotes interactions with the participants What it is not: − A series of lectures − A course for credit − A detailed and comprehensive training course CAUTION: You will not be ready to fully implement the FLoD methodology on your own at the end of this learning event series. SAWC is developing an in-depth training course
  10. 10. Context for the next 4 sessions • Existing projects • A focus on high-value illegal wildlife trade • Based on FLoD Guidance & SAWC materials, which provide much more detail, as well as a number of teaching tools. Session 7 will: • Investigate how the methodology can be adapted to other contexts • Explore the possibility for project design
  11. 11. Reminder of key players Implementer / Designer Community FLoD Team
  12. 12. Reminder of guiding principles • Remove bias…independence from key players • Inclusive… representation from diverse groups • Mutual learning…not evaluative or punitive – find solutions that benefit all players • Feedback and validation…frequent and transparent • Transfer ownership…process and products owned by key players
  13. 13. DECREASED PRESSURE ON SPECIES FROM ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE . A. Increase costs of participating in IWT C. Decrease costs of living with wildlife D. Increase non-wildlife- based livelihoods B. Increase incentives for stewardship

  18. 18. Objectives And… gain familiarity with the “focal locality” by beginning to gather contextual information Step 1: Screening & Scoping Objective Implementer / Designer Community Identify Describe Determine willingness to engage Brief on methodology
  19. 19. Intended Outputs At the end of Step 1, you should have the following • Understanding of the landscape and context • Implementer / designer(s) identified, fully briefed on FLoD methodology and willing to engage with FLoD • Community identified, fully briefed on FLoD methodology and willing to engage with FLoD • FLoD implementation plan outlining the main stakeholders and steps in the process Step 1: Screening & Scoping
  20. 20. Tasks 1. Define the locality for implementation; 2. Assess feasibility; and 3. Undertake a scoping visit. Step 1: Screening & Scoping
  21. 21. Task 1. Define the locality Identify and gather context ⎼ Geographical / topographical ⎼ Administrative ⎼ Institutional ⎼ Cultural ⎼ Social Define Community - Existing management unit, e.g. conservancy - Set of villages with shared characteristics - Local community for a project being designed - More complex communities may require sampling approaches to achieve representation
  22. 22. Task 2. Assess feasibility Site based criteria Site is clearly defined (area, community, implementer / designer) The community has a role in facilitating or combatting IWT The site is secure enough to undertake fieldwork It is logistically possible for the core team to move around and for key stakeholder group representatives to come together The resources and infrastructure are present for fieldwork, including access to electricity, a room that can be made dark for projection, accommodation and other working conditions for the team Step 1: Screening & Scoping
  23. 23. Task 2. Assess feasibility Process based criteria Conditions allow the introduction of an impartial individual, team or institution to implement the FLoD methodology Implementers / designers, key stakeholders, and community members are willing to engage with the core team to participate in the FLoD methodology Implementers / designers and communities are willing to articulate ToCs Implementers / designers are willing to adapt interventions based on lessons emerging from the process There is not a potentially unmanageable risk that by implementing the methodology, you will create conflict with and between stakeholders A skilled local language interpreter is available, independent from the community, local partners or project designers A long-term partner is in place that is willing and able to implement any findings and recommendations from the full FLoD process. There are adequate financial resources to implement the full methodology Step 1: Screening & Scoping
  24. 24. Task 3. Scoping visit Briefing meetings • FLoD team and Implementer/Designer • Deepen understanding of FLoD methodology • Gain understanding of institutional relationships, funding & intention of trip • Build understanding of FLoD team on the specifics of areas and communities to be visited • Review and agree logistics and plan for community meeting(s) Step 1: Screening & Scoping
  25. 25. Task 3. Scoping visit Community scoping meeting • Explanation of FLoD methodology and purpose of scoping mission • Interactive session on species in trade • Introduction to 4 pathways of ToC • Pathway weighting exercise to get initial perceptions of relative importance of each Step 1: Screening & Scoping

Notes de l'éditeur

  • To Be Up as people are joining.
  • Holly take over
  • Use a Theory of Change to interrogate key assumptions of designers and implementers of anti-IWT interventions and compares with the thoughts and perceptions of communities
  • This approach allows us to understand and articulate the mental model of both designer/implementer and community and to figure out if they match and if not, where exactly they might differ.
  • We have described four main pathways contribute to the overall impact: Decreased Pressure on Species from Illegal Wildlife Trade.
  • In particular, the Theory of Change approach allows us to interrogate Assumptions at all steps along the causal pathways
  • Map of East Africa – ask participants to put their name (and organisation?) on a stickie and put it where they work in East Africa.
     
    World map – anyone who doesn’t work in East Africa can put their stickie on the world map where they work.
  • Diane to take over
  • Reminder of our basic Theory of Change.
  • Holly take over
  • I changed it just slightly
  • Work in progress
  • Experience has shown that you will need to meet a number of site and process-based criteria for FLoD to be both feasible and useful. It is important to carefully assess these criteria before undertaking a scoping visit. The FLoD methodology is designed to be applicable in many different contexts. However, the feasibility assessment criteria are very specific and focus on the prospective site or locality and the process.

    Might consider animating these one by one to make them more powerful.
    HD: I agree but animation within the table seems a bit of a sticking point – will try again
    DS – solved with check marks.

  • In order to familiarise yourself with the local area, the core team should conduct an on-the-ground visit with a person (or team) with a deep local knowledge and ability to answer questions around the community, the area and the poaching challenges. Site visits can be combined with the community scoping meeting/s if practical. A community scoping meeting is an opportunity to get more contextual information about the situation in the area as well as to determine whether the community is willing to engage in the FLoD methodology. We have learnt that it is important not to raise community expectations with regards to future project work, and to prepare the methodology for this meeting with the local partner in advance.
  • We suggest a very informal, open-ended and interactive exercise to begin our discussions with the communities – helping them to understand the context in which the work is being done.
  • Think of this as being an ”ice breaker” with the communities – just a way to ease into the topics to be discussed and to make the connections in their minds
  • Increasing / Decreasing
    Legal / Illegal
    Commercial / Subsistence
    Sustainable / Unsustainable
    Internal / External

  • The inception meeting provides opportunity not only to better understand the context of the locality but also identify key stakeholders with information, authority or influence, relevant to the FLoD process. During the inception meeting it is important to ascertain if there is a true willingness to engage the FLoD process in partnership, ensuring that the new partners actually understand the FLoD approach and how it differs from other IWT approaches. The partners also need to understand how it is a methodology to elicit their thoughts (through various focus groups), hear their voices and understand their perceptions and ideas. It further helps lay down Rule of Engagement for use of the approach and helps establish the “License to Operate” for the FLoD team.
  • Could use the icons?
  • Potentially an interactive exercise on the Stakeholder Analysis Tool.
  • I think not to spend too much time on this.
