History of DRC-PCLG
• 2011: Start of the Arcus project in April 2011 (Uganda and Cameroon)
• 2014: on 21st - 22nd of May 2014, a workshop took place in Kinshasa,
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which brought together
people (+40 persons) working on conservation and development
issues in DRC, with a focus on the conservation of great apes. This
was the launch of PCLG-DRC;
• Toussaint MOLENGE, worked as facilitator of DRC-PCLG to the
establishment of a PCLG chapter in DRC;
• 2015: today, DRC-PCLG is a learning network that brings together
DRC conservationists and development practitioners to share their
experiences and to work together to better inform development and
conservation policy and practice. DRC-PCLG is coordinated by Dr
Trinto Mugangu, with support from the International Institute for
Environment and Development (IIED) and ARCUS Foundation

Key conservation-poverty issues
• Bushmeat hunting
• Habitat destruction (Encroachment for
livelihoods & firewood collection and charcoal
making)
• Illegal logging and mining
• Little scientific information accessible to local
• Little sharing of scientific information
• Lack of communication strategy
5
Key conservation & dev. priorities (future)
• Develop adaptive strategies: livelihoods for conservation &
conservation for livelihoods improvement
• Implement research to document the linking of conservation and
poverty alleviation
• Development of communication strategy with focus on
conservation and poverty alleviation efforts
• Long-term funding for livelihoods projects
• Long-term funding for great apes conservation projects
• Building capacity of local NGOs on developing M&E programs,
result chains, and on theories of changes (to help them improve
targeting and outcomes of anti-poverty projects)
6
Focus of DRC-PCLG
• Research for an improved understanding of DRC Great Apes
conservation sites and the livelihoods efforts for poverty alleviation
among local communities;
• Development of a communication strategy to be implemented for
local communities, decision-makers, policy-makers in order to
improve conservation and livelihoods efforts and their impacts;
• Involve private sector in conservation & livelihoods efforts
• Why focus on points above: To identify where improvement is
needed and formulate recommendations on how to bring change,
the role of conservationists and development practitioners network
through sharing information and lessons learnt to taking joint actions
7
Value added and gaps
Value added:
• Mutual concerns are identified and shared through the inclusion of representatives from
the government (ICCN…), conservation practitioners and involvement of private sectors
• A network brings together more capacities and resources, access to field information
regarding local context (local CBOs)
• Involve private sectors, policy makers, local authorities, youth & women
Gaps filled:
• DRC-PCLG is the first national network of this type: conservation practitioners network
to share to collaborate and exchange lessons leant;
• Document the impact of alternative livelihoods projects implemented at community level
• Highlight the evidence of impact of these projects on great apes and poverty alleviation
• Increase the understanding of the linkage between great apes conservation and
development policy
• Understanding the use of best practices of livelihoods approaches as conservation tools
8
Key Achievements (KA)
• Bringing together DRC conservationists and development practitioners to
share their experiences and to work together (workshops, steering
committee meeting and other working meetings among members);
• Research and mapping of DRC Great Apes conservation sites and the
livelihoods efforts for poverty alleviation among local communities
(ongoing);
• Development of a communication strategy to be implemented for local
communities, decision-makers, policy-makers; and how to involve private
sectors (ongoing)
• Commitment from members to participate in the implementation of
activities planned by PCLG-DRC, from June to December 2015 and
creation of two subcommittees (mapping and communication)
9
(KA) Mapping & Livelihoods
10
(KA) Communication strategy
• Adoption of the ToRs on the communication strategy
• Desk review on members of private sectors;
• Categorization of political and legislative actors targeted by the
advocacy;
• SWOT analysis of stakeholders;
• Identification of key problems for conservation sector and poverty
alleviation in great apes sites;
• Identification of communication channels, types of messages,
communication approach for every category of stakeholders;
• Communication strategy and integration of poverty alleviation (ongoing)
• Elaboration of work plan of advocacy for the political and legislative
authorities (ongoing)
• Elaboration of work plan of advocacy for actors of private sector
(ongoing)
11
Lessons learnt from working as network
• Sharing information and knowledge and joint efforts involved
• Communication is promoted among members
• National NGOs which are lacking expertise and access to
funds can find support through the network (e.g. in October
2015, DRC-PCLG has supported MBOU-MON-TOUR , a
CBO, to prepare and submit one proposal to the Illegal
Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund Request For Proposal
12
Challenges from working as network
• Generally, members of DRC-PCLG do not easily share material,
information and knowledge with the group (lack of time, lack of
resources, etc.)
• Need strategy to involve private sector: conservation &
collaboration
• Lack of opportunities and funds to organize face-to-face meetings
(workshops among members, meetings…)
• Communication strategy needs to involve School children &
women through community radios & other channels
• Distance & lack of reliable internet access;
• Different languages and heterogeneity of members (big/small;
conservation/developmentt NGOs; government/private actors
Facing different challenges in their day-to-day work
13
Conclusion
• From April 2014 to date, DRC-PCLG has become a
learning network that brings together DRC
conservationists and development practitioners who are
sharing experiences, and working together on
conservation and poverty key issues.
• As a network, we are learning valuable lessons, in spite of
some challenges we are committed to overcome, while
achieving our commitments.
• We are excited to find more support to tackle our key
conservation & dev. priorities: particularly field research,
development of communication strategy and long-term
funding for livelihoods projects, and continue to provide
support to our members.

Wildspecies trade is the major threat for great
apes in DRC: Gorilla, Chimpanzees and Bonobos
are killed by hunters for bushmeat.

Why do people hunt wildspecies: POVERTY
So, "We cannot save great apes without saving
local communities, and vice versa.“

History of DRC-PCLG • 2011: Start of the Arcus project in April 2011 (Uganda and Cameroon) • 2014: on 21st - 22nd of May 2014, a workshop took place in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which brought together people (+40 persons) working on conservation and development issues in DRC, with a focus on the conservation of great apes. This was the launch of PCLG-DRC; • Toussaint MOLENGE, worked as facilitator of DRC-PCLG to the establishment of a PCLG chapter in DRC; • 2015: today, DRC-PCLG is a learning network that brings together DRC conservationists and development practitioners to share their experiences and to work together to better inform development and conservation policy and practice. DRC-PCLG is coordinated by Dr Trinto Mugangu, with support from the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and ARCUS Foundation 3

  • 5. Key conservation-poverty issues • Bushmeat hunting • Habitat destruction (Encroachment for livelihoods & firewood collection and charcoal making) • Illegal logging and mining • Little scientific information accessible to local • Little sharing of scientific information • Lack of communication strategy 5
  • 6. Key conservation & dev. priorities (future) • Develop adaptive strategies: livelihoods for conservation & conservation for livelihoods improvement • Implement research to document the linking of conservation and poverty alleviation • Development of communication strategy with focus on conservation and poverty alleviation efforts • Long-term funding for livelihoods projects • Long-term funding for great apes conservation projects • Building capacity of local NGOs on developing M&E programs, result chains, and on theories of changes (to help them improve targeting and outcomes of anti-poverty projects) 6
  • 7. Focus of DRC-PCLG • Research for an improved understanding of DRC Great Apes conservation sites and the livelihoods efforts for poverty alleviation among local communities; • Development of a communication strategy to be implemented for local communities, decision-makers, policy-makers in order to improve conservation and livelihoods efforts and their impacts; • Involve private sector in conservation & livelihoods efforts • Why focus on points above: To identify where improvement is needed and formulate recommendations on how to bring change, the role of conservationists and development practitioners network through sharing information and lessons learnt to taking joint actions 7
  • 8. Value added and gaps Value added: • Mutual concerns are identified and shared through the inclusion of representatives from the government (ICCN…), conservation practitioners and involvement of private sectors • A network brings together more capacities and resources, access to field information regarding local context (local CBOs) • Involve private sectors, policy makers, local authorities, youth & women Gaps filled: • DRC-PCLG is the first national network of this type: conservation practitioners network to share to collaborate and exchange lessons leant; • Document the impact of alternative livelihoods projects implemented at community level • Highlight the evidence of impact of these projects on great apes and poverty alleviation • Increase the understanding of the linkage between great apes conservation and development policy • Understanding the use of best practices of livelihoods approaches as conservation tools 8

  • 12. Lessons learnt from working as network • Sharing information and knowledge and joint efforts involved • Communication is promoted among members • National NGOs which are lacking expertise and access to funds can find support through the network (e.g. in October 2015, DRC-PCLG has supported MBOU-MON-TOUR , a CBO, to prepare and submit one proposal to the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund Request For Proposal 12
  • 13. Challenges from working as network • Generally, members of DRC-PCLG do not easily share material, information and knowledge with the group (lack of time, lack of resources, etc.) • Need strategy to involve private sector: conservation & collaboration • Lack of opportunities and funds to organize face-to-face meetings (workshops among members, meetings…) • Communication strategy needs to involve School children & women through community radios & other channels • Distance & lack of reliable internet access; • Different languages and heterogeneity of members (big/small; conservation/developmentt NGOs; government/private actors Facing different challenges in their day-to-day work 13
  • 14. Conclusion • From April 2014 to date, DRC-PCLG has become a learning network that brings together DRC conservationists and development practitioners who are sharing experiences, and working together on conservation and poverty key issues. • As a network, we are learning valuable lessons, in spite of some challenges we are committed to overcome, while achieving our commitments. • We are excited to find more support to tackle our key conservation & dev. priorities: particularly field research, development of communication strategy and long-term funding for livelihoods projects, and continue to provide support to our members. 14
