Description/notes
The Green Belt Movement (GBM) is an environmental organisation that empowers communities, particularly women, to conserve the environment and improve livelihoods. GBM works at the grassroots, national, and international levels to promote environmental conservation; to build climate resilience and empower communities, especially women and girls; to foster democratic space and sustainable livelihoods.
An example of this in practice is their Community Empowerment and Education Program which focuses on aiding community members through a process of understanding their environment, and natural resources, identifying their problems and together, exploring sustainable solutions to these problems that affect their livelihoods.
