This building block defines the criteria for selecting eligible tree planters and planting sites to ensure the success of the results-based incentive system. Participants include individual farmers and small community groups with land holdings ranging from 0.125 to 20 hectares.

Selection of planting sites is guided by established Land Use Plans (LUP), ensuring that the sites align with sustainable land management and restoration priorities. This approach helps optimize the ecological and socio-economic benefits of the plantations while reducing conflicts over land use.

The building block emphasizes proper identification of participants who meet the eligibility criteria and are committed to transforming their land into sustainable forests under the incentive system.

A comprehensive artificial breeding program was established over four years, producing 10,000 fish annually for conservation and reintroduction. Challenges included low genetic diversity and habitat-specific requirements.

Shei-Pa National Park has included the Qijiawan River catchment in its protected area, with conservation plans focusing on habitat preservation and breeding programs.

Inclusive and participatory mapping of all stakeholders in the mangrove space in the five counties of Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, Tana River and Lamu. A series of meetings for sensitization on the National Mangrove Management Plan, and later facilitated formation of the national and five county committees. The committees were then facilitated in developing their workplans and executing some of the activities. This has since been picked up. 

Before the game can be played, the facilitator must be trained, and the participants selected.

The choice of a game facilitator should fall on someone knowledgeable about land use issues and who knows the social background, culture, language and customs of the local communities, as this expertise is crucial for leading the final debate. To prepare the facilitator, a good approach is to have them play the game once, along with other future facilitators. The goal of this first trial is not only to train them, but also to adjust the game rules to the local context. The game functions better when tailored to the local context. After the trial, a debriefing should be conducted to assess what worked well, what didn’t, and to determine what events or tokens could be created to best represent the region where the game will be played.

To select the participants, the organizers can work with the village chiefs, who will help identify and mobilize the various groups affected by the land use issue to participate in the game. They also can assist in selecting an appropriate location for the game to take place.

Participants should come from diverse groups, including young people, women, farmers, breeders, and others. During the game, it may be beneficial to sometimes keep these groups together and at other times mix them, in order to foster different dynamics and debates.

The database fosters collaboration by providing accessible tools for policymakers, law enforcement, researchers, and NGOs. This collaborative model could be replicated to facilitate cross-sector cooperation in combating global challenges such as climate change or poverty.

The platform is designed to assess the effectiveness of laws and enforcement efforts, such as the Endangered Species Act and Lacey Act. This framework can be applied to evaluate policy impacts in other regulatory areas, like labor laws or international trade compliance.

To preserve natural resources, artificial intelligence must be introduced to preserve them, and automation must be used to preserve environmental diversity by linking to the use of the Internet today, which is everywhere, controlling it, and following up. It was made into a real reserve and controlled using connected surveillance cameras. Transporting animals to a safe environment protected by surveillance cameras to reduce poaching.

At the end of the workshop, all the points of the model agreement were validated by the stakeholders present. The next stage of this important activity was therefore the organization of meetings with the communities of the various villages concerned in the Bouna and Nassian sectors to discuss any difficulties they might have in implementing the convention for access to the PNC in connection with the worship of sacred sites, followed by the signing of the convention in the villages visited. A meeting tour with the communities of each village whose representatives were present at the December 2022 consultation workshop was carried out to discuss the implementation of the convention for access to the PNC in the context of the adoration of sacred sites, and to proceed with its signature. The tour was attended by the OIPR/DZNE (the North-East Zone Director, the Project Manager, the Riparian Measures Manager, the Chiefs of the sectors and rural animators concerned) and the Biodiversity and Forests Expert from GIZ/Pro2GRN. There was a massive response from the local population, with village and land chiefs and their notabilities warmly welcoming the delegation.

The workshop to validate the agreement on access to the PNC as part of the worship of sacred sites was attended by a number of players, including the prefectural authorities, GIZ, the villages bordering the Bouna and Nassian sectors, and local radio stations. The DZNE and its partner GIZ/Pro2GRN coordinated the event perfectly.
