Efik3. Ibo4. EreiQuestion #1 Question #2 Question #3 Question #4The NGO Coalition for Environment (being anenvironmental network of NGOs and CBOswith about 48 members) has, as its primaryfocus the protection of the Cross River Stateenvironment, which encompasses the lastremaining tropical rainforest in Nigeria (90 percent of which is located in Cross River State),as well as the mangrove ecosystem. This iscaptured in both our vision and missionstatements: VISION - "NGOCE envision anenvironment where plants, animals and allother biodiversity of life co-exist in such amanner that the presence of one complementsthe survival of the other"; MISSION - "Tofacilitate the sustainable development of theenvironment through awareness creation,advocacy and capacity building of members tocarry out intervention programmes andprojects". The bottom line is poverty reductionin rural communities. The functions of NGOCEinclude community mobilization andsensitization; forest regeneration, includingtrees nursery and transplanting; naturalresources management, including land useplanning and formation of forest managementcommittees; cooperatives / income generatinggroups formation; provision of alternativemeans of livelihoods; climate changeadaptation / mitigation programmes; genderand HIV/AIDS mainstreaming; policy advocacyfrom local to national level. We are working inover 200 communities of Cross River State inNigeria, where we are very active.The NGO Coalition for Environment hasbeen very active in development work since1995 (17years of experience). Between 1995and 1997 we were supported by IUCN tocarry out community organizing for theprotection of the Cross River tropicalrainforest. This campaign was carried out ata time the forest was being destroyed at analarming rate, particularly through theactivities of logging companies such asWEMPCO. Our mobilization andsensitization cut across the chiefs, elders,women and youths of the forestcommunities. In 2000 we opened aResource Centre (an environmental library)as part of our environmental educationobjective. Till date, this centre attracts over500 researchers / students in month, and it isthe foremost environmental library in CrossRiver State. This activity was supported byGlobal Green Grant. Between 2002 and2003, NGOCE carried out forestconservation through communityempowerment, with support from MacArthurFoundation. We worked through CBOs andNGOs in the forest communities to providesuch livelihoods as Grasscutter and Afang(Gnetum africanum) domestication;Mushroom and Snail farming; Beekeepingand honey production; Cocoa farming andprovision of tree seedlings for regenerationof degraded land. The direct beneficiaries ofthese activities were mainly women andyouths particularly from the rainforestcommunities of Cross River State in Nigeria,while our network members have theircapacity increased around these livelihoodsoptions. From 2003 till date, we have beenworking on forest policy development,natural resource management andlivelihoods options for the tropical andmangrove forests communities in Nigeria.For instance it was our initiative that madethe Cross River State Government of Nigeriato establish a Forestry Commission which isa major driver of the REDD+ programme inNigeria. It is on account of our role inenvironmental protection that we receivedthe 2003 Goldman Environmental Prize.Today, NGOCE is a household name in allforests communities, particularly in CrossRiver State of Nigeria. Within this period, wehave received funding from the CanadianInternational Development Agency (CIDA)and the European Commission to carry outintervention in integrated forest forestmanagement. Our Executive Director, thecandidate for the AFRICA UN-REDDProgramme, served on the Advisory Board ofthe Building Nigeria's Response to ClimateChange (BNRCC) programme implementedbetween 2007 and 2011. As an institutionwith a functional office in Calabar, CrossRiver State of Nigeria, we coordinate anumber of networks and coalitions in Nigeria,including the Civil Society Network on Waterand Sanitation, Coalition of Eastern NGOs(CENGOS) and climate change network.Since its inception in 1995, NGOCE hadformed alliances and has been collaborating/ partnering with several multilateral agencyprogrammes. Our major alliances are withthe Rainforest Action Network based inUSA; Sierra Club; Earth Island Institute;International Rivers Network; the AtlanticCouncil for International Cooperation basedin Canada. Our experience in programmingparticularly, on social and environmentalissues related to the Cross River tropicalrainforest and the mangrove ecosystem,have been with support from theInternational Union for Conservation ofNature, Global Green Grant, MacArthurFoundation, CIDA, European Union,UNICEF, One-Sky - Canadian Institute ofSustainable Living, and Concern Universal(a British Charity). NGOCE has also beencollaborating with Nigerian-basedenvironmental NGOs such as NigerianEnvironmental Study/Action Team (NEST),Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF),Living Earth Foundation Nigeria (LENF),Development in Nigeria (DIN), and Centrefor Education, Research and Conservationof Primates and Nature (CERCOPAN). Ouractivities in protecting the forest againstdeforestation and regenerating degradedlands would help in no small measure totackle the climate change challenge in theworld. Also by our conservation efforts CrossRiver communities forests (tropical andmangrove) now serve as the pilot schemefor the UN-REDD programme in Nigeria.At the Nigerian national level, NGOCE isthe local environmental network that isproviding both technical an advisory role(particularly in mobilizing the forestscommunities towards the REDDReadiness programme). We are workingwith the Cross River Forestry Commissionin Nigeria, which is directly partnering withthe federal government of Nigeria on theUN-REDD programme. So far we havecarried out community sensitization onissues around climate change and itsnexus with REDD+ so that the people willappreciate the REDD programme. Inaddition we are mobilizing thecommunities and sensitizing them onissues around free, prior and informedconsent (FPIC) with respect to the REDD+programme in Nigeria.

Jamaa Resource Initiative’s distinctiveniche is based on one of the greatestchallenges that confront the civil society sector.That of raising adequate resources to supportdevelopment work.Jamaa Resource Initiative promotes andfacilitates collaborative links within and amongcommunities, individuals, and local businessesto increase efforts in pooling resources togetherfrom various local sources.We DemandThat Multi-national, IFIs, FDIs, private andstate-owned extractive companies todisclose a netfigure for all types of payments (royalties,taxes, bonuses etc) made to governments intheir annual financial accounts, and todisclose to which level of governmentpayments are made;That The Government of Kenya disclosurepayments by all extractive companiesoperating inKenya on a company-by-company basis andby payment type; disclose full revenues fromresource extraction; Independently audit andverify this information in line with bestinternational practice and establish open,participatory and transparent budgetprocesses at national, regional and locallevels in order to consult with civil society onthe effective allocation and management ofrevenues from resource extraction and publicfinances in order to promote broad-basedeconomic and social development;.That Bilateral and multi-lateral financialinstitutions, including the World Bank Group,IMF, Regional Development banks, exportcredit agencies and private sector banks, torequire extractive companies to comply withthe Publish What You Pay requirements ontransparency of payments as a pre-conditionof all project support, and governments tohave in place a functioning system to ccountfor and independently audit revenues fromextractive industries in return for nonhumanitarian/non-emergencydevelopment,technical and financial assistance;That Extractive companies and localauthorities should disclose information aboutsocial investments and payments to localbudgets made by extractive companies.These payments and investments areimportant factors of sustainable social andeconomic development and thus the publicshould be involved in the process ofmanaging these revenues;That for the public disclosure of extractiveindustry contracts and for licensingprocedures to becarried out transparently in line with bestinternational practice. As contracts typicallyinclude schedules, formulas and otherdeterminants of the government’s potentialrevenue streams (such as revenue sharingarrangements, taxes, royalties, bonuses,social benefits, etc., and exemptions fromany of these) fulfilling the public’s right toaccess these contracts (with exemptions forprovisions that are genuinely commercialconfidential information) will help informcitizens about how much their government issupposed to receive from resourceextraction, which can then be compared withhow much the government actually receives.Contract transparency can thus help civilsociety understand whether governmentshave struck deals with extractive sectorprojects that are in the public interest, andthen whether promised revenues actuallymaterialize.We envisage promoting full accountability ofIFIs, FDIs, companies and governments inthemanagement of resource revenues,Promoting transparency of revenues and ofextractive industry contracts is a vital firststep towards alleviating the crushing povertyof ordinary citizens in many resource-richThe Mission statementJamaa Resource Initiative exists to promotesocial responsibility of governments,InternationalFinance Institutions, CorporateOrganizations and individuals in East Africathrough capacitybuilding, advocacy, networking, researchand technical support for a just andequitable society.Main ObjectiveTo promote through research, studies,workshops and seminars the formulationand enforcementof environmental policies and laws thatenhances participatory governance anddemocracy, entrench corporate socialresponsibility within the corporate sector inKenya and harness community resourcesmore effectively for sustainable developmentSpecific ObjectivesJamaa Resource Initiatives subscribes to thefollowing Specific objectives:1.

This is possible byimplementing the 'Views from the Frontline-VFL' survey in rural communities accrossNigeria.Our experience from the Views from theFrontline Survey indicates that:a. Actors at community level often don’tcommunicate or work togetherb. Community members don’t have the capacityor confidence to take initiatives or exerciseleadershipc Community members often see localgovernment as not understanding the localissues around DRRd Government is sometimes distrustful ofcommunity groups and civil society, and mayexclude them from political processes anddecisionmaking.e. Civil society may be distrustful of localgovernment and lacking in confidence to buildrelationships with policymakersWe have networked extensively working asCountry Coordinators of the Views from theFrontline (VFL) Project.VFL 2009 provided substantial evidence thatprogress in developing DRR policies andlegislation has not yet systematicallygenerated widespread change in localpractices –national policies are only as good as thelocal level action that follows. The mostsuccessful DRR programmes are in thosecountries where local government is able toharness theindigenous knowledge, experience andcapacities of local people by working inpartnership with civil society and at-riskcommunities with support from nationalinstitutions.Why focus VFL 2011 on local governance?Local governance is where national policiesare converted into actual practice and isconsidered the single most important factorin determining progress in buildingcommunityresilience. It provides the “enablingenvironment” essential for interactionbetween state authorities, at-risk people andlocal actors. Unless the core components ofgood localgovernance are in place, mobilising moreresources from national governments andexternal sources will not in itselfautomatically result in increased capacity &resilience at thelocal level.How does VFL work ?“Views from the Frontline ” is a participatorymulti-stakeholder engagement processdesigned to monitor, review and report oncritical aspects of “local governance”consideredessential to building disaster resilientcommunities. The review uses a surveyquestionnaire based on a series of “coreindictors” intended to reflect the corefunctions of localgovernance as articulated in the narrative ofthe Hyogo Framework for Action . The VFLprocess is designed and coordinated by theGlobal Network Secretariat throughregional nodes and administered by locallyactiveparticipating civil societyorganisations. In a variety of differentgeographical locations the participatingorganisations willconduct guided face-to-face interviews andfocus group discussions with two keyinformant groups (local government officialsand community representatives) to assessthe levelof progress achieved in accordance with a 1-5 Likert Scale.

Ghana’sNational Tourism Policy has adopted NCRC’smodel as the preferred approach to thedevelopment of rural tourism. The model isacknowledged globally as one of the mostsuccessful rural tourism initiatives beingimplemented today.NCRC’s pioneering work in developingcommunity protected areas in Ghana isincreasingly being cited as a valuablealternative to conventional African nationalparks and protected areas that often do notfulfill their promise due to funding limitations,limited capacity and resource conflicts. NCRC’swork has demonstrated that traditionalcommunities can lead highly successfulconservation initiatives, as shown bycommunity partnerships in Ghana includingWechiau, Avu Lagoon, Boabeng-Fiema,Nyankamba Escarpment, Tafi Atome, Asumuraand the Afram Arm of Lake Volta.The key ingredient of success in these projectsis the philosophy that conservation will only besuccessful in settings where the affected localcommunities obtain tangible economic returnsand cultural incentives for its implementation.NCRC has been working for many years tocreate Community Protected Areas (CPAs),where communities themselves championand manage sustainable conservationprojects that provide tangible returns. TodayNCRC has partnerships with over 30communities in Ghana, through which avariety of projects are being developed. Sixof those communities have evolved to thelevel of creating formal CPAs. NCRC alsoworks with a wide range of other NGOs andcommunity groups in Nigeria, Liberia, SierraLeone, and Ethiopia among other countriesin Africa.I work as a consultant for the Cross RiverState Forestry Commission (CRSFC) inNigeria. I am a community forester andhave worked with forest commuinities inNiggweria as well as with many othersacross Africa. I have been working withNCRC and others to develop Nigeria'sREDD+ programme that is being supportedby UN-REDD. John Mason and hisorganisation - NCRC have been key playersin this process which is why I am nominatinghim.As stated above, the CRSFC has beenworking closely with Nigeria's Federalgovernment to develop Nigeria's REDD+programme with UN-REDD support.

AWF’smission is to work with the people of Africa toensure the wildlife and wild lands of Africaendure forever. AWF’s core value is ‘Africanledconservation’ and over 85% of AWF’s staff,including its leadership, are African nationals.AWF is Headquartered in Kenya and is activelyworking with communities, local governments,scientists and civil society organisations in 9large landscapes in 14 countries of subSaharan Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda,Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, ,Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia,Botswana, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Niger,and Benin).Question #1 Question #2 Question #3 Question #4In each of its heartland programs, AWFworks closely with communities, local civilsociety organizations, individuals, and localgovernments to plan for and implementconservation actions including REDD+activities. AWF uses a range of approachesto gathering insights and perspectives fromthese individuals and groups includingworking group meetings, targeted interviews,stakeholder roundtables, communitymeetings, and informal conversations. Wedraw on these insights and perspectives toinform our policy advisory work approachesat national, regional and global levels. Wherepossible we bring local stakeholders directlyinto touch with policy makers throughspecially designed forums. As an example,AWF convened a diverse group ofrepresentatives (women’s groups, forestscouts, District officers, and local farmers)from a REDD+ project in Northern Tanzaniato discuss their achievements, challengesand insights with Norwegianparliamentarians. As a pan-Africanconservation NGO working on severalREDD+ pilot programmes across easternand Central Africa, we also aim to ensure ourproject proponents benefit from region-wideperspectives on REDD+ challenges and bestpractice through the wide dissemination ofinformation through our community networks.AWF collaborates closely with a number ofmultilateral agencies ranging from theCIFOR group to FAO. This collaborationinvolves field-based work in areas of naturalresources management including REDD+implementation. AWF is also a longstandingmember of IUCN and members of AWF’sstaff are members of many of IUCN’sCommissions and make contributions to theIUCN program at the highest levels. AWFhas engaged in REDD+ policy discussionswith a focus on bringing field-basedexperience (in DRC, Tanzania and Kenya)to national and global dialogues. Thisincludes participating in the TanzanianREDD policy forum and engaging directly inthe UNFCCC process.AWF does not have any financial,technical or advisory arrangements withthe UNREDD programme directly, butcontributes to the UNREDD Programme inTanzania through our participation in theNational REDD Task Force as well asthrough the Norwegian Embassy. AWF’sREDD work is financed through theNorwegian government, USAID and theDutch government and links with thesedonors regularly on a technical andadvisory basis including, for instance,participating in structured dialoguesaround social and environmentalsafeguards for REDD+, benefit sharingmodels, satellite –based classification ofdeforestation and degradation, GIS tools,and community-based Measurement,Reporting and Verification approaches.Geofrey MwanjelaTanzania NaturalResource ForumHead Tanzania +255 684 009575 http://www.tnrf.org/ EnglishofandProgrammesSwahiliTanzania Natural Resource Forum based andoperating in Tanzania, is a membership-basednon governmental organization registered in2006.

Un accompagnement et desformations en entrepreneuriat, sans oublier unevéritable stratégie de plaidoyer et desensibilisation en entrepreneuriat afin depermettre aux jeunes entrepreneurs d'avoiraccès au financement pour la réussite de leurprojet. La diffusion de la cultureentrepreneuriale au Bénin, telle est notrevision.D'abord soulignons que notre organisations'intéresse aux jeunes (femmes commegarçons) pourvu qu'il ou elle soit:- Un ou une jeune entrepreneur (e) ouaspirant (e) ;- Âgé de 15 à 40 ans ;- Être de bonne moralité et de bonne etprobité ;- Jouir de ses droits civiques ;- S’acquitter de ses droits d’adhésion ;- Résider au Bénin ou souhaiter investir auBénin.Chaque adhérent à son point de vue sur lesquestions de l'environnement et de la nature,certains d'entre nos membres pensentuniquement au profit quoique cela déteint surla nature parcontre d'autres pensent que lerespect de la nature représente pour eux unsimple facteur de vendre leurs produits. Ilexiste enfin une troisième et dernièrecatégorie qui le fait par conviction car ils nemanque de souligner que seul respecter lesdroits de la personne humaine, c'est d'abordet avant tout respecter l'environnement, laforêt ce qui favorisent la juste et équitablerépartition des richesses, la lutte contre lapauvreté et contribuent fortement à la paixsociale. Notre rôle à la MAJEB estd'emmener les deux premiers typesd'entrepreneurs à emboiter le pas à la visionde la dernière catégorie sans que celaaffecte leurs affaires, même si beaucoupévoquent le coût qu'engendre le respect deces normes.La Maison des Jeunes Entrepreneurs duBénin (MAJEB) à faire de la responsabilitésociale de l'entrepreneur sont cheval debataille en organisant des plaidoyers auprèsde ses membres et d'autres entrepreneursqui ne respectent pas ce principe. Nousavons en notre sein une brigade qui veille augrain. En plus nous ne manquons pasd'organiser des plaidoyers à l'endroit desdécideurs si la préservation de la nature.UNe radio de la place nous permet desensibiliser sur ce fléau qui gangrènel'humanité et si on n'y prend pas garde nousexposera au suicide collective, c'estpourquoi à la MAJEB nous suggérons uneréelle mutation dans la façon de gérer lespeuples et le respect de la nature et de l’environnement. Les centres de prises dedécision, bref la gouvernance mondiale doitchanger. Elle doit être empreinte d’humanitéet de plus en plus regardante sur l’aspirationdes peuples en les impliquant de façonsignificative aux différentes prises dedécisions, il s’agit d’appliquer lagouvernance participative.Malheureusement notre organisation n'apas d'arrangement directe avec ONU-REDD et souhaite d'ailleurs l'avoir afin derenforcer l'effort des jeunes entrepreneursbéninois.

Mais, c’est depuis 1992, lorsde la Conférence de RIO DE JANEIRO, qu’elles s’affichent de manière plus cohérente etformelle. Dès lors, l’on assiste notamment àune dynamique de spécialisation dans ledomaine de la biodiversité, de l’assainissement, de la promotion des droits despeuples autochtones et des communautéslocales.Vers les années 2000, avec le rapport du paneldes inspecteurs des Nations Unies sur lepillage des ressources naturelles de laRépublique démocratique du Congo, certainesassociations se sont organisées pour suivre l’application et le respect des recommandationsdudit Panel. Cette démarche coïncide aussiavec la création du Réseau RessourcesNaturelles qui a commencé à faire le suivi desreformes dans le secteur forestier après l’adoption du code forestier en 2002.Promulgué en 2002, le Code forestier de laRDC prévoit plusieurs mesures d’applicationqui devaient être élaborées avec laparticipation de la société civile avec l’appui duFonds mondial pour l’alimentation, FAO ; etrenforcé par la Coopération Néerlandaise,DGIS. Cette étape est importante parce qu’ellemarque le point de départ de l’implication de lasociété civile dans le processus de mise enouvre du Code forestier.Par ailleurs, les peuples autochtones au traversleurs organisations non gouvernementalesavaient critiqué le processus de mise en œuvredu Code forestier du fait qu’il n’avait pasrespecté les directives et politiquesopérationnelles de la Banque Mondiale,notamment l’obligation de consulter les peuplesautochtones et les communautés locales. Cetteméconnaissance avait été à la base d’uneplainte contre la Banque Mondiale auprès duPanel des inspecteurs des Nations unies sur lepillage des ressources naturelles de la RDCongo et avait abouti à des recommandationsclaires à la Banque Mondiale.Activités du GTCR:Pour assure sa participation et sonimplication au processus REDD le GTCR adéveloppé un certain nombre d'activités aucour de l'année 2009 :Au niveau de la coordination et de l'équipetechnique:Son implication et participation aux activitéset ateliers de lancement du processus REDDau plan national et provincial, la mise enplace d'un cadre de concertation avec la CN-REDD grâce à des réunions des liaisonsayant conduit à un renforcement departenariat entre ces deux structures, laparticipation à plusieurs rencontresinternationales sur le changement climatiqueà l'occurrence la rencontre de BONN,POZNAN, COP BALI, OSLO, BANKHOK etsurtout à COP15,sa participation aux 3missions conjointes UN-REDD et FCPF,l'organisation de plusieurs réunions internesde renforcement des capacités ayant conduità son ouverture aux autres structures etconfession religieuse, mais aussi à la miseen place d'un cadre de concertation avec leRéseau Des ParlementairesEnvironnementaliste et Le Réseau DesFemmes Ministres Et Parlementaires, LeCNONGD Et Le CNJ, Confessionsreligieuses, la production des outilspédagogiques tels que la boite à image etl'ABC et plusieurs œuvres scientifiques telque l'analyse critique de l'étude WOODSHOLE, la tenue de plusieurs points depresse, le suivi et la coordination de toute lesactivités liées au changement climatique etREDD tant sur le plan nationalqu'international sont autant d'élémentsconfirmant l'engagement tous azimut de lasociété civile de la RDC aux processusREDD.Implication aux ateliers de lancementNational et provincial du processus REDD:Dans le cadre de mise en œuvre de cesactivités un certain nombre d'atelier delancement du processus REDD furent prévutant sur le plan national que provincial,atelier ayant pour but de faire connaître leprocessus REDD au prés des autoritésadministratives, populations et despartenaires de la société civile sur toutel'étendue de la RDC. De manière généraleces ateliers avaient pour cibles :•les représentants de l'administration,•les ONG de la société civile,•les représentants des populations locales,•le secteur privé (FEC et FIB),•les autorités académiques et scientifiques,•les membres de la délégation du MECNT,•les agences internationales et bailleurs desfonds,•les ONG et autres organisationsinternationales.Axes d'Interventions:"Le GTCR et la CN-REDD travaillent enétroite collaboration sur une base presquequotidienne. Ainsi, la préparation du PlanIEC 2010-2012 a été initiée par une réunionde liaison et de cadrage avec la sociétécivile, et plusieurs autres réunions entre laCN-REDD et une quinzaine de participantsdu GTCR pour faire remonter les idéesstructurantes, les objectifs et les activitésdevant alimenter le Plan IEC. Un cadre deconsultations régulières a été mis en œuvreà l'occasion de la première réunion de liaisondu 28 octobre, qui a notamment permisd'identifier 4axes important de coopérationLa participation et la contribution auxmissions conjointes UN-REDD et FCPF :Au total il y a eu quatre missions conjointesoù la société civile était invitée après avoircontribué à l’élaboration des termes deréférence de la mission, les discussions etcontacts avec certaines autorités.La mission du mois de septembre et octobreétaient très importante parce que c’est en cemoment qu’avait été discuté le plan 2009 et2010 qui a conduit à l’élaboration du R-PP.A la fin de cette mission le GTCR avait faitun communiqué de presse exprimant sasatisfaction sur le déroulement de la missionen correction de quelques imperfectionsobservées lors de la mission précédente dumois de mai 2009.La mission de février 2010 était uneoccasion pour discuter et adopter le R-PPaprès plusieurs sessions et débats trèsenrichissants.La sensibilisationLa sensibilisation avait commencé depuis lemois de mai 2009, d’abord par les medias,avec le Réseau des Communicateurs de l’Environnement, RCEN en sigle, qui est unestructure membre du GTCR soutenue par lePNUD. Les membres du GTCR étaientinvités régulièrement à prendre part auxémissions.Au mois de juillet 2009, à l’occasion dulancement du processus REDD, le GTCRavait fait une présentation montrant saposition vis-à-vis du processus REDD qu’ilattendait accompagner. Ce qui est en coursde réalisation jusqu’à ces jours avec trèspeu de moyens mis à disposition.Après le lancement de juillet 2009, destournées ont été faites en provinces pourune série de consultations, notamment enprovince orientale, au Sud-Kivu, au Nord-Kivu, au Katanga, au Bas-Congo et enEquateur.
