Strengthening voices for better choices : lessons learnt about the development of sectoral agendas for forest governance in Acre

The Strengthening Voices for Better Choices Project (SVBC) was implemented in six countries, including Brazil. It allowed IUCN’s partners and members to develop knowledge and capabilities based on experience, thus enabling the different actors to improve their participation in governance spaces and processes. The systematization presented in this document aims not only to identify, document and socialize the lessons IUCN learnt from the SVBC project in Brazil but is also in itself a stage in the governance process, enabling reflection and action learning by those who participated in the experience. Through this, the hope is to catalyse the implementation of new actions led by strengthened members and partners who join together to meet the challenges faced locally, nationally and internationally.
