Conclusions and recommendation
In promoting successful SDGs related to women ecosystems conservation and climate change, there is a need
to strengthen this platform to support a true reflection of ground realities in development, harness local
knowledge especially related to climate change adaptation and focus on felt needs of communities especially
women. It is also necessary in the view of current funding shortages that advocacy collectives including
partners from all sectors, especially the private sector link up with supporting the state. The stage agencies
need to be more proactive in supporting gender desegregated data collection.
