Community Protocols in Africa: Lessons learned for ABS implementation (Natural Justice, 2018)

November 26, 2018

“Community Protocols in Africa” explores the lessons that Natural Justice has learned while working with communities to implement Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) through the use of a legal empowerment tool: Community Protocols.

Community Protocols respond to many of the challenges that communities face when protecting their traditional knowledge and natural resources. Before embarking on a protocol process, communities may not have full knowledge of their rights, for example. They may not be clear as to who can give consent to the use of resources and knowledge, or they may not have clarified how to share benefits within the community.

While community protocols are not a cure-all, they can contribute to meeting some of the challenges faced by communities when it comes to the protection and valorisation of their land and natural resources.

Case studies from Benin, Kenya, Madagascar, South Africa and Namibia show not only the importance of Community Protocols, but how the process of developing one can bring clarity, improve governance and improve recognition of the communities’ roles in conversation and custodianship.

Community-based distribution of insecticide-treated nets: A short guide based on recent experience (VectorWorks Project/Tropical Health 2016)

August 10, 2016

The ‘Community-Based Insecticide-Treated Nets Distribution Guide’ provides a practical guide to community-based insecticide-treated net (ITN) distribution. It takes readers through the different steps that planners should consider when implementing this channel and aims to ensure that planners considering community-based ITN distribution benefit from the lessons that have been learned though experiences in the the four countries examined in the report: Madagascar, Nigeria, South Sudan and Zanzibar (Tanzania)

The document aims to present information that will help planners decide whether community-based distribution is an appropriate option for their setting, and to offer practical recommendations for developing a system of community-based distribution.
