Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken:
The Congress had 2,500 people attending. Indigenous peoples’ and local communities’ voices were well represented during the week and some powerful collective statements and declarations were issued and got good media coverage. The indigenous peoples’ and local communities’ opening statement, delivered by Milka Chepkorir (Sengwer woman leader from Kenya), was a very clear call for reforms in how conservation is done in Africa and the final Kigali Call to Action issued from the Congress as a whole made reference to indigenous peoples, FPIC and local communities throughout.
