Community Consultations – GEF-8 Dja Landscape Project

As part of the development of the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) and participatory mapping under the GEF-8 Dja Landscape Project, AIWO-CAN continued its field activities in the Mintom Municipality.

Consultations were conducted with the Baka Indigenous communities of Bemba, Nkoloboula, and Assok, as well as the local community of Zoebefam. These exchanges provided valuable insights into local dynamics, potential sources of conflict, existing resolution practices, and community expectations regarding the protection of rights.

The participatory mapping process enabled the collective identification of key areas, community concerns, and complaint pathways, contributing to the co-design of a grievance mechanism that is context-specific, inclusive, and aligned with human rights principles.

AIWO-CAN remains committed to strengthening local governance and ensuring the meaningful participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities across the Dja Landscape.
