The connection with IFAD has been cultivated through the International Land Coalition, which is a network of organisations, including CGIAR centres working on land issues. The landscape that I will be talking about is shared grazing lands in Tanzania, that have been secured for communities through an IFAD funded project.

I am professor of Tropical forestry at the University of British Colombia in Vancouver, Canada; and I am also senior associate with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). I previously worked for CIFOR between 2006 and 2018 as a principal scientist working solely on landscape scale interventions in tropical forestry.
I am the Gender Lead at The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT. Before and since joining CGIAR, most of my work has focused on forests, agroforestry, and some has focused on small water reservoirs–all from a gender and social inclusion perspective. Working on issues related to the management of common property resources necessarily involves looking at how people work together over relatively large landscapes.
