Global dialogue of the indigenous peoples, local communities and southern civil society organizations
The global dialogue of the indigenous peoples, local communities and southern civil society organizations was organized by FCPF in Washington DC from November 7 to 9, 2019. During the dialogue, Dr. Bhishma Subedi, ANSAB’s Executive Director, presented the impacts on national REDD+ readiness process of the FCPF capacity building program for CSOs and LCs in Asia Pacific. After sharing some of the specific impact stories, Dr. Subedi highlighted the key gaps, challenges and areas of action that need to be undertaken for the successful implementation of REDD+ programs, especially during the emission reduction phase. ANSAB also provided the knowledge products developed by the project, moderated group works to identify lessons and best practices relevant to REDD+ implementation, and contributed to the discussion and prioritization exercise for setting the direction for further support to indigenous peoples, local communities and southern civil society organizations to engage in FCPF REDD+ Programs beyond 2020.
