Author(s): USAID VukaNow
VukaNow’s series of podcasts about combatting wildlife crime weaves together expert discussion and third-party evidence that provides practical advice and guidance for landscape partners, and stakeholders working with communities on the ground.
The series pulls together insights and best practices from thought leaders in community engagement, from within the conservation sector and from other field as diverse as youth empowerment, agriculture, and education. The experts discuss the following learning questions:
• How do we define ‘the community’?
• How do we identify gatekeepers and other key representatives with whom to engage?
• How do we give the community authority over programs and projects of which they are a part (beneficiary); and
• What are the best practices and success stories for community engagement?
