Despite COVID, Kulera REDD+ Program Safely Completes VCS/CCB Field Audit
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Parks and Wildlife and the Community Associations NAWIRA and NVA were able to safely host the third-party auditor to verify Program activities on the ground that protect more than 600,000 hectares of forest while engaging more than 200,000 people. Local stakeholders were able to openly express their observations of the Program. Community members were able to communicate in Chichewa to the auditor and share the impact the Program has had on them along with their experiences, needs and any concerns.
