Improving community involvement to increase project success
C3
Village consultations were held in Vanua Levu (Fiji) as part of C3 Fiji's local Kiwa project "Restoring mangroves for livelihoods in Fiji".
What goals did these meetings hope to achieve?
- Present and talk about the project plans to get community feedback and address any issues or suggestions,
- Make sure the plans are in accordance with local customs, traditions, and governance systems.
- Take into account community feedback when creating the final management plans, including the choice of different sources of income.
The main goal of these dialogues is to acknowledge the importance of community ownership and participation in the effective implementation of a project.
