WELCOME to the GIA Community of Practice and Learning (CoP-L) on the use of tools and strategies to improve social-environmental governance and reduce threats from infrastructure development.
The University of Florida’s Tropical Conservation and Development Program is partnering with conservation and development practitioners from NGOs, community organizations, government and academia from four focal mosaics of the Amazon in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru.
GIA collaborates with networks of practitioners from NGOs, community organizations, government and academia in mosaics of protected areas and indigenous territories throughout the Amazon.
GIA facilitates networking, knowledge exchange, and research to strengthen the work of conservation and development practitioners related to governance of infrastructure projects, especially dams, roads, and waterways.
Get to know more about our activities and join us in our Community of Practice and Learning.
GIA organizes webinars, meetings and workshops to exchange experiences, reflect on lessons learned, and discuss future actions, both within and across Amazon regions.
