Implementation at the local level (2)

Learn from local communities • Identify and document good examples of local

level action on poverty and environment and communicate this effectively (to influence who?)

• IIED learning about P-E activities from 15 local organisations – PEP members could add to this by learning from their partners.

• IUCN Communities of Learning – 5 national workshops in 2007 - opportunities for PEP members to engage / expand.

Implementation at the local level (3)

PEP specific • PEP reflection – what do we mean by local?• Capacity focus at next PEP (DK) could focus

on local capacity needs and synergies with the national level.

• Have a local year at PEP – hold meetings in local communities, learn directly from community initiatives.
