She's hoping to get a playdate with #AmandaGorman

My daughter drew a picture of herself and #AmandaGorman making a speech about how girls can be whoever they want to be, and that girls can be warriors.

2/5 Devolving rights has spurred community stewardship, employment and new forms of income and investment: USD5M from forest products (up to 60% of hh income), >USD2M in taxes, and >USD500K in patrols to control #forestfires and encroachment, with almost zero #deforestation.

2/5 #FLARETC20

That means their opinions, values and knowledge are not included in decision-making, and they may not benefit from the decisions made by MSFs; they may even be harmed, and inequalities persist.

How can we improve inclusion in MSFs?

5/5

When seen through a rights-based lens, these success factors can be organized into two action arenas: capacities and structures.

We created two tools to operationalize inclusion, monitor change and improve our MSFs.

#FLARETC20
4/5
We identified 32 success factors for the inclusion of #women and 39 for the inclusion of #IndigenousPeoples in 5 goal areas: organizing for inclusion, improving influence, building capacity, strengthening collective action and focusing on impact.

#FLARETC20

3/5

Through a literature review and interviews, we identified success factors that contribute to inclusion, and the constraints that inhibit inclusion of women and #IndigenousPeople.

We applied a #HumanRights -based approach.

#FLARETC20
1/5

MSFs aspire to bring together diverse constituencies to make decisions.

But #women and #IndigenousPeople, low-caste groups, #Afro-descendants, #pastoralists and the poor are either under-represented in MSFs or lack influence.
