 Hi everyone. Nice to see people trickling in. We have about 15 people who've joined us. Great to have you all and thank you for sharing this time to explore and think through this session around how we measure or track progress on track progress of locally led adaptation and using tools like the resilience platform that we've been talking about for a while now. So welcome and I'm Shruti. I am a Program Officer at GRP where I lead the shared learning component of the Global Resilience Partnership and I coordinate the Resilience Knowledge Coalition. So as a quick welcome, I should share a little bit about the Knowledge Coalition, like one slide about the Knowledge Coalition and then without further ado, we'll hand over to the rest of the speakers. So just very quickly, this is what the Resilience Knowledge Coalition is and it's a network of networks that's being co-led by three organizations, ACAD, CDN and the Global Resilience Partnership and today we have representation from all three organizations but Emma from CDN is going to talk about some of the work we've done together in the past in a little more detail. So we are a network of networks which means we are filling in the knowledge procuring networks and existing initiatives have been conducting and we feel like we are adding value by actually enlarging that hole and enlarging that hole as larger than the sum of its parts and so we are focusing on a few different things. One of course getting knowledge used and facilitating that knowledge into action framework where Knowledge Where Exits is used in policy plans and investments. We are a community of practice of over 560 members now and we work in a few different ways. One we convene so we have convenings like we had for the Resilience Measurement. We have been thinking about Resilience Measurement for a while now for about two years since Goba Shona in 2021 and then again Goba Shona this year and then we convene a workshop in person meeting with USAID and University of Arizona. We came out with collective principles and priorities at that workshop but then and this is that report but then we all so synthesized that information and easy to digest formats like blogs. We did webinars on it and we've been using the Resilience Platform which Linda my colleague will talk about a little later and we've also been along with that working with small brand practice organizations in various different ways around their stories and surfacing their stories with respect to ensuring that knowledge is being used and measuring tracking progress in a way that in a way that they are comfortable. So without much further ado I shall stop sharing screens and I shall hand over to our next speaker. Please welcome Joan who will do the Mentimeter and Joan here over to you. Thank you. I've sent a link to the Mentimeter in the chat so please you can click the link and it will take you directly to this to this Mentimeter. So this this this Mentimeter is just like a way to sort of break the ice and just also like have a collective thinking for everyone to see like where we are in terms of like just understanding like how we track our progress so yeah we have two questions and for this there's no like a wrong and right answer so just like best on what you best on the experience your work and what you're thinking just feel free to to add your thoughts there. So the first question is how do you think we should track our adaptation actions in communities to know the impact that you're making like or maybe you could just add how you do it or or maybe the ideas that you have from your own experiences yeah feel free to write any any any any question. Are nice social economic factors uh-huh health impact qualitatively oh that's that's that's interesting yes um uh documentary film so that's so cool interview surveys a lot of objective impression um okay before and after hazards yeah I think I think that's that's uh like a really um oh wow well we are getting we're getting uh yeah yeah keep uh yeah keep dropping your vlogs yes storytelling uh-huh participatory impact I guess it's monitoring behavioral change wow you know regeneration of agriculture okay I think now we will go to the next question um so the next question is what are the tracking challenges in the local adaptation local adaptation in your mind like what challenges have you maybe experienced in in your like well while doing your your practices or or just that you think about or that you've experienced through other people or this what are these tracking challenges that you that you face limited finance that is I think that is one of like a major challenge that Malia could think of better guess yeah lack of political will is is um diversity of actions okay it's it's nice to to see that like we already know like the challenges that you're facing and and like all of these challenges are like diverse things different things that yeah language yeah and I think um thank you I think I think I'll okay I think just are still coming in yes I think you can feel free to keep on adding because there's no limits of the number of fans you can you can add your responses and I think I'll stop there with this thank you super helpful and uh just to let you know uh that uh all your inputs here are not not just um yes they are they're they're an icebreaker and and are meant for reflection where you where you think through these but we're all so keen that they that they add on and these are questions where we are checking for to to support our colleagues who've been working on the global stock take uh contributions so uh colleagues who've been working at a r a and cdk n who've been supporting the global stock take uh contributions to the u n f to put the global goal and adaptation uh have have needed these inputs and are and are seeking more variety of input so so we're also going to uh share these reflections with them so just to let you know that it's not it yes it's a reflection but it's also to it's also going to contribute at some some place so yeah thank you and um with that and and I think all those contributions were brilliant so uh thank you very much for all of that and with that I will I think hand over to Emma uh to give us a brief overview of the voices from the front line work that we've done together in the past. Emma over to you. Thanks Tucci um yeah so let me just turn my screen okay um good morning everybody um thanks for attending our session today um it's great to see all of you here um as Tucci mentioned um yeah my name's Emma Baker and um I am the knowledge and global outreach manager for um cdk n which is the climate and development knowledge network um which is a program uh it's been going for many years now starting 2010 so yeah 12 years now um and uh we are a knowledge brokering um program and it's based at South South North um in South Africa uh also with partners in Latin America and in Asia as well um so as Tucci mentioned um yeah as part of the resilience knowledge coalition uh which is a coalition between cdk and grp and icad in Bangladesh um we started an initiative called voices from the front line uh which really emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic um as a way to really bring out the stories of community resilience um to COVID and the multiple hazards and shocks that they were facing during the pandemic um so I'm just going to talk a little bit about that today um so first of all just kind of a bit of a reflection on storytelling as a technique um we've just talking about that with the Mentimeter and quite a few of you were uh were mentioning it um as a technique so I mean storytelling um yeah we often think of it as as words uh often written words um but of course it can be visual, audio, artistic um but it's really a means to capture uh yeah the lived experiences of of people and um make abstract concepts more um understandable and uh allow people to connect with them uh through personal experience and sharing of personal stories and it's also a bottom-up approach so rather than trying to fit uh you know a very complex nuanced um experience or set of experiences into say a small set of indicators it's actually a form of of gathering a lot of information and um yeah a lot more nuance um and then drawing out from those stories the lessons and the learnings um and the experiences that can be shared and disseminated more widely um so uh the voices from the front line initiative was really um an interview series so in this case it did take the form of of written uh written stories um although these were also accompanied by a lot of photographs which uh you'll also see during my presentation which um are very powerful in bringing the the stories to to light as well um so as I mentioned it was um really born out of the COVID pandemic where as um a network we we really saw um not only the impacts that COVID was having on grassroots communities but uh the resilience and the local action and local adaptation uh that communities were taking um to respond to the crisis um and also to respond to multiple crises that were happening at the same time as the COVID pandemic so for example in this picture here you'll see uh there was also a cyclone in in Bangladesh um in the first few months of the pandemic there's been floods across the world multiple climate hazards and risks and of course the COVID pandemic also highlighted many structural inequalities and socioeconomic challenges um that communities face and these were really exposed during the pandemic um so the VFL stories were really a way of capturing yeah community resilience and grassroots leadership um often these were were coming from women and youth organizations especially um and we were really just trying to um give a platform to these community voices and community actions and share them with a much broader community so uh how did we do this uh so I mentioned it was uh yeah an interview series um and we ended up gathering 50 um stories from across the global south mostly in Africa and South Asia and these were published um between June 2020 and October 2021 um by CDK and ICAD and they're also featured on the GRP resilience platform which we'll hear about later in this session um and yeah so the stories really aim to document learning uh from community practices um and then disseminate this learning a lot more widely um to foster greater and effective responses to future shocks and build resilience in general um and each story captured the voice of the communities from themselves in real time using a an interviewer which uh were people from local NGOs from research institutes from labor unions from universities uh within our network as the resilience coalition um so they went and interviewed um community members and then wrote up these wrote up their stories um using quotes and the photos that were taken as well and then um each story also had the included an interviewer's perspective where the interviewer um actually added a paragraph at the bottom to give more context to the story from their point of view maybe from um community organization level um and that also really enabled a deeper understanding of um of the the issues that the communities were facing as well as the context in which they were working in and acting in um so what came out um lots I mentioned earlier that um there were a lot of women and youth-led initiatives um which were just really incredible so um a lot of these were actually um around knowledge sharing knowledge and sharing resources including financial sources within communities and especially disadvantaged communities um and these were um yeah also around diversifying livelihoods um you can see there's a kitchen garden or community garden um people started developing seed banks to share seeds among the communities um as well to ensure food security um and diversifying livelihoods through starting up business businesses for example um liquid soap and other um hygiene businesses that were needed during the COVID pandemic um and then also many people were taking it upon themselves to fight misinformation which we all know was a huge issue during the pandemic um and delivering um easy to understand messages and translating the science actually to the local communities in their language in ways that could be uh understood and um foster safe practices around hygiene especially um and then also in challenging social barriers such as gender-based violence so he saw in one context um for example a hotline was set up for domestic abuse uh which was yeah also um yeah very powerful um and many of these strategies were actually in place before the pandemic but um during during the pandemic this is where we saw through the stories um a lot of innovation within these spaces a lot of um strengthening of relationships and new forms of local corporation knowledge sharing and mutual support including financial support um so um as a kind of follow-on from publishing each story uh which you can find on the CDCAN website the KAD website or DRP resilience platform um we also synthesized um these stories into um a digital course synthesis report which you can find at CDCAN.org slash voices um and this was really um aiming to bring the messages uh coming out from the stories to a broader audience which included policymakers uh funding agencies um and yeah development partners um a broad range um to really share um the learnings that and the innovations that came out from these stories um and to um yeah really show that the experience and um yeah innovation on at the community level which can can can and should be invested in and scaled up um as well and we also then produced um a report on um access to finance because quite a few of these um stories also highlighted the fact that um you know local communities were really um taking finance into their own hands and using say women's uh savings groups or or savings and loans groups um yeah a lot of uh crowdfunding um opportunities and really really innovative um innovative techniques to um mobilize finance for a lot of these local actions and um to yeah just take as I said take uh take into their own hands and um ensure that um yeah that these actions were were being taken um so I think I will leave it there I think that's my last slide yeah and thanks for listening and hand back to you Sushi. Thanks Emma um before you I mean before you hand over and before we move on to conversations with right and in chat there seem to be some questions around what is from the front line it would be great to hear from you and and your thoughts on that so Ritika asked um if the interviewers were deliberately from the countries in which the interviews were taking place and if you would like to shed some light on that yeah sure um yes so they definitely were and um actually they were mostly from the communities um as well and kind of the community level um organizations um so they really were yeah either part of the communities or uh were working in that space um so yes it was that was how it worked thanks and there's one more question um did you have more or less the same structure of the interview guide was it contextualized probably and would that be possible to share and did you interview children so a lot of questions within one question yes maybe I could break it down we could start with did you have more or less the same kind of interview guide or structure and would it be possible to share that one question we can start with that yes um yes so we did in order to have a kind of um yeah a similar across all of the stories uh we did have um a similar structure that we followed um and we could potentially share that I'll have to look into that but um if you note down your email uh Marit um I can get back to you on that um so yeah because we so as CDK and ICAD we kind of um acted as the editors in a way of the interview series so um we worked with the interviewers um and then helped to also uh write it up afterwards with them right and did you interview children is the next question um no we didn't um no we didn't interview young people but um to my knowledge um they were all over 18 so yeah yeah I'm pretty sure that would require a different set of consented bills in terms of regional difference etc so yeah we have Emma's email id in chat so if you have uh if if you want more details around the question and the interview guide uh that's there and then we have one more question and I think this is the last question uh did you check understanding with the interviewees after the story with stories were written down and I think it means like validation almost like a validation exercise um yes um I have to be honest here I'm not sure what the process was between the interviewers and the interviewees after they finished their interviews so we obviously worked with the interviewer uh to write up and validate uh from their perspective but I'm afraid um I don't know what what actually happened between the the community interviewees and the community and the interviewees after that but considering considering many of those interviewers were part of the same community I believe uh uh context was taken care of there in terms of in terms of that exchange so it wasn't city care interviewing someone in rural Bangladesh for example you know so yeah exactly no exactly it was definitely uh yeah very sensitive um and yeah within the local context thanks Emma I think yeah there's there's I think Marit has shared his email id and I think that he would like to get he they would like to get in touch with uh so yeah uh great I'm glad this is this is already leading to more conversations and collaborations um all right with that uh can I invite uh Brite Saqwa to for a quick conversation and Brite uh as a matter of introduction has won the catalytic grants award last year at CBA and if you could pin Brite that would be great uh Julina perfect thank you so uh Brite is Brite has won the catalytic grants award like ACAD GRP and CJRF have uh been giving out since I think 2020 uh 2021 uh I believe yeah 2021 correct or bad and um Brite completed his uh their their exercise and and basically we supported uh colleagues supported colleagues at ACAD and and GRP have supported Brite in telling their story so it would be great if you're from Brite and so Brite welcome and if you could uh just quickly start with your introduction and what your project was and and maybe giving some context uh to the audience that would be great Brite can you tell me uh you're on mute uh thank you Sochi uh good morning good afternoon everyone my name is Steven Brite Saqwa and uh I am one of the the catalytic grant awardees from CBA 15 I was awarded with a colleague known as Susan Nandudu some of you might have seen her somewhere so our project focused on uh refugees in the camp who were not also spared when it came to the COVID-19 pandemic because uh the food supplies significantly reduced which led to hunger and malnutrition so uh the situation is that when the refugees come in when they are relocated to the country the government offers them small pieces of land where they can do agriculture and this is usually intended to supplement the food aid they receive from uh development partners and humanitarian supporters unfortunately uh most of the refugees uh don't go ahead to do the agriculture on the small pieces of land given so they mainly depend on uh the food aid which reduced during this period and uh we really can't blame them because they come from different contexts some of them are pastoralists they are not using to grow in crops so we don't really blame them and then for the few who do the agriculture they are also again not spared by climate change disasters so uh we looked into this and we thought we could have an intervention of encouraging agriculture among the refugees but most importantly agriculture which is adaptive the changing climate that's great that's um it's actually a very um very pertinent and very in in some ways very inspiring that you're taught of doing something for this and so thank you for sharing that um and it also gives some context into what what the plurality of issues complexity officials of the nested challenges that that community space could be uh and therefore the need to be flexible in the way we think about and implement and and measure uh locally led adaptation so thanks for that but uh right can you share a little bit more about uh the story and I can I can actually share the story in chat uh the link to the story and and maybe you can share a little bit about how you went about building it you're on mute again yeah yes so apart from the funding we also benefited a lot in terms of knowledge uh from ACAD, GRP and the Climate Justice Resilience Fund because uh they trained us about uh storytelling as a powerful tool of communicating your impact as well as tracking progress so uh we were guided on how we can come up with a story and indeed uh we came up with a blog which uh builds the scenario and also paints a picture of what really uh the communities are going through and uh also goes ahead to show uh what we did our story uh actually had a tool which uh ended at a suspense because after training we then took a break and uh currently we now have the full impact of what the project had on the community and uh the lessons learned the challenges faced and the call to action so uh this kind of tracking progress uh I find it really nice because it's not concealed to a few people but it's there for all stakeholders to follow since it is uh on an online platform and information can be gotten by everyone who wishes and I think it's a good way of uh being accountable also on what you really did and to enable people follow up on that thank you and uh yeah and this in in some ways this wasn't our way of holding you accountable but this was really you being accountable to the community right uh in in terms of uh the kind of work they were doing yes perfect great so yeah so just just um getting into what were your what were the different sort of parts to your story and if you could just highlight that and if you could uh let everyone know that know how you sort of the process of of building this story yeah so uh first of all we had to build the scenario uh to look at the context where we are implementing the project which is a refugee camp in this case uh it's good to let people know uh the context you're dealing with and the kind of people in this case we are dealing with people from different backgrounds so there's a lot to put into consideration unlike uh the conventional community projects we then had to look at the people uh the human picture uh we came up with a character we had a lady called Gloria Ahmed Drani she was she was displaced from her home in South Sudan and she has been in the camp for around 12 years so she became our main character on which we would do uh follow-ups but also uh doing it on other beneficiaries but she was the main character so we also uh had a component of themes helping us to identify the emotions of the people we are dealing with for instance during this period uh there was hunger there was despair and there was little hope but with our intervention uh we also uh came in with a bit of encouraging courage because uh much as uh they were facing these challenges they were willing to participate in our trainings and also have hope that if indeed they implement uh the knowledge given to them there could be a change in their lives so we uh also had a component of tools uh our story the first one uh remained at a level of suspense because after training that is where our story ended and someone couldn't know what happened next but yeah it keeps you waiting to know uh what will happen next so after the project and the implementation we went back to the community recently and captured all uh the achievements the challenges the lessons but also the calls to action because uh this was a small-scale intervention given that the funding was small and we hope to uh scale this so uh in our next part of the story we'll share the impact and the call to action thank you thanks great great uh bright thank you so it's time to write another story I get for you uh and and like round up the suspense like solves the suspense for all of us been great thank you so much um I don't see any questions in chat but if there are any we'll come back and there's always the breakout rooms where we can discuss more details so uh thanks right uh with that I think I hand over to Linda who will now uh sort of explain the the resilience platform tool and and basically break down how to use it because it's it's something that can that that attempts to uh allow allow the storytellers or the interviewee interviewers or potentially even implementers to directly upload stuff and tests so over to you Linda uh to take us through this all right thank you so much Shuqi for the intro so my name is Linda and Sifo I work at GRP as the monitoring valuation and learning officer and I'll just ask as Shuqi said take you through the resilience platform so um well for the sake of those who were not at the beginning when Shuqi talked about the resilience knowledge collision I'd like to mention that the resilience platform is supported by the resilience knowledge collision and it's essentially a network of networks which consists of individual members that are hosted by the global resilience partnership and co-led by a number of organizations namely the South South North the climate development knowledge network the international center for climate change and development and then the least developed countries universities consortium on climate change and basically they play an active role in sharing information and knowledge on resilience programming on policy and investments with their members and Shuqi already shared the link so if you'd like to learn more about the resilience knowledge collision or you'd like to join please feel free to click on the link and you'll be added to the mailing list so in terms of statistics currently the resilience knowledge collision has a membership of over 560 members from over a hundred organizations all right so let's dive into the resilience platform so this is basically the outline that I will follow so just to give you an overview generally and show you the public and private views of the platform okay so what really is the resilience platform so basically it's an online space for capturing accessing co-creating and advancing the latest resilience knowledge so when you arrive at the resilience platform you first of all access the resilience resources by selecting a tab which is resilience resources and then you'd be brought to this interactive map in terms of navigation when you hover your mouse over any country of interest so for example here I've decided to zero in on india you'd see the total number of resources that have been uploaded from india which is 24 and then you'd also see a breakdown of the other resilience resources which are categorized as solutions stories initiatives evidence and tools so once you do that you should see a list of the resilience resources and then you can zero in on the one that is of interest to you so you just see a list per page and then you can just click and read together information you want alternatively you can also select your resilience resource by using the filtration functions on the on the left side of your screen so you'd see a number of criteria namely themes approaches regional operation and then after you've selected your regional operation you get to filter based on the country and then also implementing partners so in this example I've zeroed in on africa so you'd see that the countries in africa are highlighted and then you can focus on a particular country of interest in africa so after you do that you see a list of the various resources that have been uploaded and then you can click and read and derive the information you need okay so how do we sign up how do you register so first of all you come to the homepage of the resilience platform and then you'd see a button on the top right corner of your screen which is the sign up button so you click that and then you'll be directed to this page where you can enter your details so you have to enter your username your first name your last name your organization's name and then your email address and then you click the sign up button after which you'll receive an email which would give you further instructions on how you can verify your account and then afterwards you'll be brought to your profile so here is my profile so afterwards you can proceed with whatever you want to do be it's loading your resources but before that I just want to touch on how you can reset your password so initially when you sign up you're given a password which is generated by the platform and sometimes it's a bit difficult to remember the password that you initially receive so in order to reset your password and to have a password that you can easily remember you come back to the platform and then you'd click log in and then you'd be brought to this page where you can enter your username and then afterwards you click the forgot your password button and then you can proceed with the instructions on how to reset your password and then from then you can use that password to log in any time you need to upload a resource on the resilience platform okay so the focus today is on stories and yes my previous speakers have already done a brilliant you know introduction as to what goes into storytelling so in order to upload a story onto the resilience platform you click on the stories button and that's after you've logged in and here I'm just showing you how you can focus on maybe a story that probably you are interested in from a particular country so here again I've selected India so after you've uploaded your story you'd see that the stories are indicated when you select a particular country so let's continue so after you've selected or you've indicated that you want to upload a story you'd see a button here which says that use story and then you would be brought to this page which is the template for uploading a story but before you can proceed you need to read the terms and conditions and also the privacy policy document just so that you provide your consent that you're willing to share vital information and that you're ready to yeah disclose any sensitive information that may come in the form of images or names and so on so to move forward you click yes or you indicate yes and then you can proceed by providing your details in the form so firstly you'd have to provide a title of your resource and then you provide the name of the respondent more or less like the one that the story is focused on and then the community or the organization the person is from and then the type of organization and then also you have to provide a story summary so please take note of the the character limit make sure that you don't exceed the 2000 character limits and as you can see you'd notice that there's a red asterisk which has been allocated to some of the fields which means that those fields are mandatory and so you can't upload your story if you don't provide details within those fields and as you proceed you'd see that some fields are also not mandatory like the donors field so if you don't have information about donors you don't necessarily have to provide that information okay so moving on you can provide your theme you can provide the approach and then also the SDGs that are being addressed in your story and then you can continue with the story itself so you need to break down your stories into paragraphs so the way the platform is is built is such that you can divide your stories into various blocks so you can provide your title and then you provide the main paragraphs afterwards and if you have multiple paragraphs all you have to do is to click the plus button here and you'll be able to add as many paragraphs or blocks to your story and again just to remind you to just take note of the 2000 character limit so that your your text is not truncated when you're you know building your story okay so moving forward then you can provide the contact information of the authors if you happen to be the author you can provide your information and then you can proceed with providing media files so if you have media files linked to your story then you can upload them as well in the form of photos documents or videos and thumbed nails and also please take note of the upload file limit which is less it should be less than 100 megabytes so anything more than 100 megabytes will not be uploaded successfully onto the platform okay so once you provide all your media files then you can come to the end of the form by providing your source so if this story that you're uploading is from a source that you you want to reference then you'd have to type it in here and then afterwards you can submit if you think the story needs some extra work then you can save it as a draft and come back to it later and finalize it okay so I'd like to also introduce you to the documents that are available if you need to acquaint yourself more with the platform so there are a number of documents that you can access such as the partner's documentation and then the resilience platform FAQs so just to mention that everyone who signs onto the platform is automatically a partner so basically you're contributing knowledge onto the platform hence why you're considered a partner and with that I'd like to also mention that yes feel free to reach out by email so you can reach out to me for anything related to content you can send me an email to linciful at globalresiliencepartnership.org or for any technical questions you can address them to support at owner.io and with that I would like to say thank you for your attention and we look forward to taking action together with you so if there are any questions you may ask now or we can also have them addressed during the breakout session thank you sorry thank you Linda that was great I don't see any questions yet on chat but I can request June to now put us into breakout rooms and let's discuss breakdown storytelling a little more and discuss a little more detail on storytelling thank you I think I think people have received they can invite to join a room so yeah kind of like are you having issues in joining just feel free to to let me know and and I guess I accept there's a prompt that will come on your screen please accept it so that you can be able to join a breakout room Akane and Nagisa is is okay sure okay sorry hi Alice uh excuse me I would like did you receive an invite to join a breakout room would you like to join once or are you having any issues joining no yeah my network is a bit bad but I can have you can send the invite again which came but I couldn't join okay and now not yet let me Alice is like are you are you still having challenges maybe and if you can drop out and then come back and then I try to add you again a breakout room then yeah I can I can I can take you back okay I think you did hi June hi I've been like a few people are still joining so okay just be here so that in case they join I move them into breakout rooms you need help no no no it's it's cool it's I'm okay I'm fine all right you're good right yeah yeah great good to hear I'll join the other breakout room for a bit and then come back yeah okay I think you can be able to just move yeah I'll do it myself yes thanks I had a question so I should stop it I should close the breakout rooms in I think for now it's like in 17 minutes yeah yeah so yeah just just leave final five minutes for reflections and five five minutes for for like closing and wrapping up and yeah I think that's the second second yeah so just uh just to add that we have two very different sets of conversations happening in the two breakout rooms so I'll go back to mine there's two very different kinds of audiences we're very senior people from like very big NGOs in one and we have like younger people in another group so it just makes sense to have two very different kinds of concerns because I just put them to go automatic and then I just stand by it yeah that's fine I think anyway I'll head to the other breakout room see you hi hi Michael sorry thanks you we were having we have had I think we've had two very different sets of conversations from both groups and very happy to have everyone back we can quickly take five minutes to report back from both sessions so Villena Linda would you one of you would like to go first Linda I can see you're unmuted already so if you'd like to go first okay um yeah we had an interesting session um yeah we got timed out but I mean nevertheless we got like very nice um contributions from from our participants um so I recall that one of uh participants shared something about um a story that had to do with uh pastoralist um someone in in the heat of you know climate change impacts and you know finding an alternative means of livelihood um so this person started well they this person got trained um into um you know developing herself in terms of sewing and also started selling jewelry mats and clothes and actually when she was sharing she pointed us to one of a pair of the earrings that um she had actually got from this lady that she interviewed which was really um nice to hear um yeah I think that was one story that really stood out to me um Villena do you have anyone that really stood out to you three story was like different in terms of like one was more on like climate change perspective I think Lena's experience in her field work we had more to do like policy failures or uh mostly like intervention failure that um was in her field work where she talked about um how a particular project was failed due to some lack of monitoring criteria that they did not look into a local perspective but um it was quite interesting that the people there were bold enough to take out some elements from the project and use only that's the same line that she said I'm just like repeating and quote unquote she said that um they picked up the elements from the project that worked for them and just true aside the things that didn't work for them and I think that's that was very bold of them to do that and it was quite interesting where she shared that it turned into a success story and I think we also discussed on how most of these policies and projects that are in the developing countries especially will only look at the larger framework and do not see into um taking care of the local perspective or and yeah that's what we discussed and I think it was a very meaningful conversation yeah thank you thanks that's super useful I think you've got some interesting stories and and uh I hope you are planning to reach out to them you've got you've got lennas and other uh details contact details and I hope you can uh we can have more uploads in the next few months maybe if not the next few weeks on the platform so please feel free to use the platform we on the other hand in our session uh in our breakout room had some very interesting conversations and Emma you can please fill in uh here and maybe I can stick to the conversations around the conundrum of of resilience measurement then it's great that we are in cba talking about lived experiences talking about stories as a way to measure but then globally um there is a push to have one single goal for adaptation there's a push to focus on uh measuring indicator based measurement around around adaptation and and I'm just simplifying everything for audiences who may not already know of these these issues but uh we had some we had some discussions around how or who the audiences are how how do we measure for the audiences for the stakeholders and uh who should we be influencing and and uh how does the power dynamics of top down uh indicator driven resilience measurement approaches affect the way we are measuring locally led adaptation so very exciting very different set of conversations because we didn't get into the storytelling mode because we were fewer people and we felt like this would be more useful but we had great conversations so thank you Jamie Marit uh right and Emma for being part of those conversations Emma do you have anything else that I may have missed out on? No I think you captured it well Suchi.
