Social-Environmental Leadership Capacity-Building for Participation at the National Level
Capacitação de Lideranças Socioambientais do Cerrado para Atuar a Nível Nacional
Capacitação de Lideranças Socioambientais do Cerrado para Atuar a Nível Nacional
The project targets capacity-building for local and regional Cerrado leaderships, particularly those whose performance is more visible in the Cerrado Network and Brazil SGP, providing information and methodological instruments allowing them to influence the design and implementation of public policy related to the GEF focal areas. The leaders will be trained through participation in national, regional and municipal councils and groups. Training sessions will be divided into modules, which will take place in Brasília, and an integration and debate network will be formed using the available means of communication in each location.

Project Characteristics and Results
Capacity - Building Component
20 regional and national leaders will be trained through workshops providing information on environment, political perspectives in relation to the Cerrado and other biomes. Political and administrative legal pathways will be examined for actions based on possible solutions for problems raised. Besides, the political and social perspectives of the participants will be enhanced starting from a micro-social universe (local reality) toward a regional and national perspective.
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
The leadership training work aims to defend the conservation and sustainable use of the Cerrado, through policy influence to provide incentives for co-existence between traditional populations and environment.
