Importance of Mapping as tool for Empowerment
Presented by Edmund Barrow, IUCN
Mount Elgon National Park; and
Our Farms
We do our mapping as a group (and men do their maps) – and map our landscape – both as it is now and how we would like it to look like in 10-20 years time
We present and Discuss our maps in front of everyone –men included
We have our present situation maps and our vision for what it will look like in 10 years timeThis helps us analyze our problems and identify solutions
Our Partners can make our maps into “smart”computer maps!
We identified our problems and now we are working on implementing the solutions –•Terraces, tree planting & wood lots •Advocating for a by-law to prevent roaming animals from destroying our trees and we participated in the formulation of that bye-law
Key Messages:•Ownership of the process & actions•Empowered to take action which was recognized
