This activity capitalized on a rare opportunity of local communities and IPs in countries where the space for advocacy remains extremely limited to have their voices heard on issues of land and forest rights by national policy makers at a critical international forum with a potential to effectively influence national legislative processes.  Awareness raised on: new knowledge and innovative practices in community forestry in Asia and the Pacific; smallholders; ways existing mechanisms can support community forestry development in the Asia-Pacific region (such as the new Tenure Fund, VGGT, FPIC, FLEGT, REDD+, PES, and CC Adaptation funding); and innovative practices and recommendations from key representatives of local community groups related to community forestry in the Asia-Pacific region.
