FAO Expert Delivers Final Interactive Workshop on Participatory Approaches

On 1 June 2026, the NbS4LD+ Interactive Workshop Series concluded with its final online session, delivered by Mr. Dominique Reeb, an international expert from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The workshop brought together representatives from all project partners via Zoom.

The session focused on Participatory Approaches, highlighting the importance of stakeholder engagement in the planning, implementation, and long-term sustainability of Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Mr. Reeb introduced the concept of participation, explaining its different levels and demonstrating how participatory processes can be assessed and applied in environmental restoration and sustainable land management initiatives.

Participants explored practical methods for engaging local communities, public institutions, and other stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. The workshop also emphasized that effective participation strengthens decision-making, promotes local ownership, and increases the long-term success of restoration and conservation initiatives.

As the final workshop of the NbS4LD+ training programme, the session successfully concluded the consortium’s interactive learning series by providing valuable insights into participatory methodologies that complement the project’s technical and educational components. The workshop marked an important milestone in strengthening the knowledge and capacities of project partners before the next phase of project implementation and international activities
