Karen has more than 14 years experience in delivery of capacity building on issues of community forestry, development of participatory planning and monitoring systems, and training of trainers on negotiation, facilitation and good governance. Her extensive agricultural field extension work, development of co-management agreements and process support to public administration has required her to be an effective communicator and facilitator. Karen's recent coordination role with RECOFTC managing an Asia-wide governance initiative, had led to extensive knowledge of forestry in over 9 countries, where she initiated partnerships between community forestry practitioners. Karen is currently working with LTS as Community Participation Advisor in Malawi as part of a wider 3-country capacity building programme in forestry funded by DIDC.
