I denne udgave af Stretgistafetten taler vært Kim Jensen med Dr. Paul Matiku, Executive Director i Nature Kenya, og Paul Gacheru, Species and Sites Programme Manager.Samtalen kredser om finansieringens afgørende betydning for naturbeskyttelse i Kenya, værdien af det langvarige partnerskab mellem Nature Kenya, DOF og CISU samt hvad CISU’s rolle bør være fremover.Dr. Matiku er ærlig: Penge er den største begrænsning for at løse biodiversitets- og klimakrisen. Men samtalen handler også om kapacitetsopbygning, græsrodsorganisering, politisk ansvarlighed og vigtigheden af langsigtet programfinansiering frem for kortsigtede projekter.Nature Kenya deler erfaringer med at mobilisere lokalsamfund gennem deres “Site Support Groups”, en model der har rødder i dansk støtte og i dag er udbredt via BirdLife International.00:03 Introduktion til Nature Kenya og gæsterne02:12 Den største udfordring: Finansiering af naturbeskyttelse04:23 Merværdien af danske partnerorganisationer09:24 Græsrodsorganisering og Site Support Groups13:17 Kan kenyanske erfaringer bruges i Danmark?18:23 Hvad er CISU’s formål set fra Kenya?22:29 Hvad bør CISU gøre og ikke stoppe med at gøre?29:31 Miljø som menneskeret35:06 Fra Mini-puljen til programfinansiering40:39 Kapacitetsopbygning, online samarbejde og ressourceprioriteringIn this edition of Strategistafetten, host Kim Jensen speaks with Dr. Paul Matiku, Executive Director of Nature Kenya, and Paul Gacheru, Species and Sites Programme Manager.The conversation centres on the crucial role of funding in nature conservation in Kenya, the value of the long-standing partnership between Nature Kenya, DOF and CISU, and what CISU’s role should be in the future. Dr. Matiku is candid: Money is the single biggest constraint in addressing the biodiversity and climate crises.But the discussion also highlights capacity development, grassroots mobilisation, political accountability and the importance of long-term programmatic funding rather than short-term project funding. Nature Kenya shares its experience in mobilising local communities through its “Site Support Groups”, a model rooted in Danish support and now promoted internationally through BirdLife International. 00:03 Introduction to Nature Kenya and the guests02:12 The biggest challenge: Funding nature conservation04:23 The added value of Danish partner organisations09:24 Grassroots mobilisation and Site Support Groups13:17 Can Kenyan experiences be applied in Denmark?18:23 What is CISU’s purpose from a Kenyan perspective?22:29 What should CISU continue doing and not stop doing?29:31 The environment as a human right35:06 From the Mini Pool to programmatic funding40:39 Capacity development, online collaboration and resource prioritisation
