This is a presentation from the second event of an online learning series for the East African Community region on communities combating illegal wildlife trade.
The event gave an introduction, overview and lessons learned on the ‘Local communities: First Line of Defence against Illegal Wildlife Trade (FLoD)’ initiative, 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.

• IWT destabilizes local governance structures.
• Communities are critical for effectively combatting wildlife
crime.
• Community engagement is complex – no clear blueprint.
• More collaboration is needed among strategic partners,
Governments, communities
• Engaging with communities meaningfully means
recognizing the rights of communities to ownership and
use of the wildlife resource, and acknowledging local
community knowledge in managing wildlife resources
• The equation is imbalanced - benefits going to the
communities are meagre and cannot compensate for their
disrupted way of life.
• Increasing militarization of conservation may re-centralize
power over natural resources, away from communities.

WHY A NEW METHODOLOGY AND TOOLS
• Built on an Action Research approach to engage both project implementers and
communities
• Interrogates the theories of change and key assumptions of designers and
implementers of anti-IWT interventions and compares with those of
communities
• Highlights often flawed and sometimes naïve TOCs by donors and intervention
planners and divergence from reality on the ground
• Empowers communities, strengthens community voice, enhances collaboration
and builds trust between implementers and communities
• Helps design more effective interventions to combat IWT with community
engagement

“Local communities are critical - they are our first line of
defence and we must do all that we can to enable their voices
and secure their support… [to combat poaching]”
President E Mnangagwa, 7 May 2019
33.
What is a Theory of Change?
Theory of Change is essentially a comprehensive
description and illustration of how and why a desired
change is expected to happen in a particular context.
34.
Why a Theory of Change?
Stakeholders identify the conditions they believe have to
unfold for their long-term goals to be met.
Theory of Change requires clarity on long-term goals,
measurable indicators of success, and actions to
achieve goals.
• It shows a causal pathway from here to there by specifying
what is needed for goals to be achieved.
• It requires you to articulate underlying assumptions which can
be tested and measured.
• It changes the way of thinking about initiatives from what you
are doing to what you want to achieve and starts there.
35.
Gives the big picture, and context that
you can’t control.
Shows all the different pathways that
might lead to change.
Describes how and why you think
change happens - with explicit
assumptions.
Is mainly used as a tool for program
design.
A Theory of Change…
36.
What about a logframe?
Gives a detailed description of the
program or project
Is linear – no feedback loops
Includes risks and assumptions, that are
basic and implicit.
Is mainly used as a tool for planning
activities and monitoring.

IMPLEMENTER TOC COMMUNITY TOC

Different perspectives
“Land use planning and separation of humans
and wildlife is the best way to enhance
tolerance”
“We want to coexist with wildlife but the
costs of conflict must be reduced through
field-based mitigation measures”
Had previously engaged only with male
elders
New insights through engaging with
women and youth
“The community wishes to maintain
livestock as its core economic activity”
“Pastoralism is important culturally, but
cash income is needed and we engage in
many other economic activities”
Concern about poaching , IWT and
sustainable wildlife management
Concern with maintaining a healthy
ecosystem – poaching one of many threats
55.
• Communities recognize the importance of law
enforcement - IF it is in partnership with them
• Strong laws and heavy penalties generally seen as fair
• Belief that both social sanctions and pressure, reinforce
government penalties & stop poaching
BUT
• Strong objections that government response to IWT and
retaliation killings is stronger and faster than the response
to deaths, injuries and other losses to wildlife
LESSONS FROM THE FIELD
56.
LESSONS FROM THE FIELD
• A strong sense of “ownership”
results in a motivation to
protect
• Management of conflict and
coexistence through land
zoning – traditional or
contemporary is critical
• Strong trust and/or
transparency with tourism
ventures around earnings and
sharing is essential
57.
LESSONS FROM THE FIELD
• Communities recognize
differences between individual vs
community costs and benefits
• Revenues from wildlife not
sufficient
• Sometimes non-wildlife based
livelihoods are totally critical to
the story – but must not be in
conflict with long term wildlife-
based interventions and
outcomes
58.
OVERALL FINDINGS
• All four pathways of ToC supported although
emphasis varies
• Very similar communities have differing views
• Within communities, different perspectives based
on gender and age
• Greater concern about managing a healthy
ecosystem (and all the associated benefits),
rather than poaching

I would probably put this in the main opening and closing deck for Liv to handle and have a separate talk to overview the last session.
This one too - I would probably put this in the main opening and closing deck and have a separate talk to overview the last session.
However, in the international arena, the need for stronger engagement of local communities in combatting IWT has been increasingly recognized in the international policy arena as exemplified by various statements and declarations But how about delivering all this on the ground, that seemed a lot less clear Partly because engaging communities is complex, there has been no guiding framework
Providing a framework and guidance is what FLoD was established to do, to help implementers and donors That there was a need to help guide implementers of anti-IWT projects, and their donors, Lack of a coherent framework for community engagement that could be used
Communities assess this
Using an Action research process to deeply interrogate the difference between conceptual strategies for combating illegal wildlife trade and poaching and the reality on the ground In particular the focus of the methodology is on articulating the theories of change and key assumptions of both those implementing anti-IWT interventions and the communities they work with to compare and contrast these Goes all the way back to uninformed - often flawed and sometimes naïve - Theories of Change by intervention planners Process helpful in empowering communities and strengthening collaboration between implementers and communities; design more effective interventions
With a view of designing more effective and accurately targeted interventions to combat IWT
Action Research Approach working with project implementers and communities Piloted in 3 community conservancies Validated theory of change framework Highlighted divergence between project implementers and communities’ ToCs drawing attention to weaknesses in project design and opportunities for improvement
Olderkesi Conservancy: Olderkesi is 7000 acres of community land adjacent to the Masai Mara. The landholders here receive a performance based lease payment for their land of $10K per month from a local tourism operator based on the opportunity costs of alternative land use, such as agriculture and domestic livestock grazing. Shompole Ol Karamatian - 111,200 acres / 45,000ha group ranches in Southern Rift Kilitome Conservancy: 6,000 acres/2,428 bordering Amboseli

Increase the participation of local communities in the planning and management of wildlife resources.
- Target poachers who are truly poor and struggling to be empowered in other areas that will discourage them from continued poaching of elephants - Recruit community monitors
Provide opportunities for sustainable utilization of natural resources Encourage and establish wildlife conservation areas on village land and devolve management to village communities Give wildlife resources economic value
- Diversify community livelihood sources through investment in alternative compatible income generating activities to reduce over-reliance on income from tourism
It maps out what a program or change initiative does (its activities or interventions) and how these lead to desired goals being achieved.
It does this by first identifying the desired long-term goals and then works back from these to identify all the conditions (outcomes) that must be in place (and how these related to one another causally) for the goals to occur.
Assumptions are at the basis of all the hypothesized causal connections between early, intermediate, and long term outcomes, and the expectations.
Airing assumptions is one of the most valuable parts of Theory of Change as a participatory process, as stakeholders get to hear and challenge one another’s understanding of the goals, the challenges, and what must hold true in the environment for the initiative to succeed.
Pathways - even if those pathways are not related to your program.
Could be used to complete the sentence “if we do X then Y will change because…”.
(e.g. if you think increased knowledge will lead to behaviour change, is that an assumption or do you have evidence to show it is the case?).
Maps to Baseline Assumptions
It is often the case that the planner or designer of a project may have a different mental model than the community with whom they are engaging. The framework allows the interrogation of the project planner or designer’s ToC, as well as the community (against the designer’s). In particular, the methodology allows the interrogation of the assumptions outlining both the designer and community ToC and can often provide insights as to why a project may be failing or succeeding.

Overall, the Kilitome ToC is broadly in line with the Baseline ToC with some important differences. The overall aim of the Kilitome conservancy is to secure sustainable wildlife based land use and is not narrowly focused on tackling illegal wildlife trade, but rather on ensuring that land is maintained for wildlife No acute elephant poaching in the context of an overall land use plan that also accommodates other alternative land uses, such as small scale agriculture and pastoralism Much bigger vision

So you could move from bushmeat into this one and take it more general.
You may want to very, very quickly change the Pathway titles to abbreviate – e.g. A. Increase enforcement, B. Increase incentives, C. Reduce costs, D. Increase additional livelihoods opportunities
