Alongside the Introductory Workshop for Post-Trialogue Countries Supported by the Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services Network’s (BES-Net) BES Solution Fund, which was held in October 2021, a survey was conducted to find out the respective countries’ learning and capacity building needs.
The first thematic workshop was organized on 23 February 2022, focusing on benefits and methods of engaging with stakeholders and knowledge holders during the implementation of the BES Solution Fund, including the Trialogue approach, a signature solution developed by BES-Net to engage science, policy and practice communities, including indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) holders.
Over 30 participants from Kazakhstan, Kenya, Nigeria, and Trinidad and Tobago, four of the target countries benefitting from the BES Solution Fund in the First Phase (2020-2023), attended the virtual event.
This report outlines the key insights and messages that emerged during the workshop, paying particular attention to the constructive discussion during the breakout sessions.
