  • I worked as the chiefdom coordinator for Africa Conservation Initiative / West Africa Blue; I participated in mangrove restoration, FPIC processes, cook stove, woodlot, and Biomass in the community and transformative interventions in the operational districts. Participated in surveys ACI/ West Africa Blue conducted with local partners and international consultants and discovered fresh strategies to safeguard the magnificent natural ecosystem along the coast
  • I was part of the FPIC process in ACI with communities living along the coastal regions. These communities, which included fishers, farmers, and Indigenous peoples, relied heavily on the mangroves for their livelihoods.
  • The first step was engaging with the local communities and establishing trust. We initiated contact with local leaders and organized community meetings to explain the purpose of the project. It was crucial to acknowledge that the communities had a historical and cultural connection to the mangrove ecosystem, and we wanted to ensure they were integral to the decision-making process.
  • During this stage, we prioritized listening to community concerns, particularly about how conservation might limit their access to mangrove resources.
  • Conducted educational workshops that explained the long-term environmental and economic benefits of mangroves. These sessions highlighted how sustainable management practices could enhance biodiversity, improve fisheries, and protect the community from climate impacts like storm surges and flooding.
  • The information was accessible by using visual aids like maps, and diagrams,
  • We made it clear that participation in the carbon Credit project was voluntary, with no penalties or consequences for those who chose not to be involved.
  • We worked to create an open and safe environment during consultations, ensuring that no community member was forced or pressured to agree with the project. We emphasized that the community had the power to say "no" at any point and that their decision would be respected.
  • Engage communities to forge improved linkages with their local resources, resulting in a greater sense of ownership and increased community contributions to the quality of care provided. Improved community ownership of and engagement with community services,
  • Improved relationships between community leadership structures, improved community capacity to address their issues, and increased utilization of community local resources.
