Kommentarer fra African Youth Panel til projekterne om skove og klima

Comments – Anesu Makina

Great work, my comments are actually similar to those of the panel in that they could focus on:

Women and local organisations. Women are normally custodians of land and local organisations are normally best placed for communicating to the communities.

Again, the role of government should not be undermined; working with the ministries of tourism and trade and the ministries of agriculture will go a long way in forest conservation. Many times, big corporates are involved; their role must not be underestimated especially because they can offer monetary incentives.

The role of chiefs is very critical because they own the land, if they disagree with a project, then government has to step in, at this level, even NGOs cannot do anything.

Comments - Ibrahim Ceesay

This project is very interesting and could be re-structured. Is it possible to look at promoting land accessibility to women and young people for farming and eco-tourism activities? This is a problem in many parts of Africa especially in West Africa and this would create sustainable livelihood and job employment for youths.

This could be voted APPROVED!
