Gayap Tool Kit Initiative

This initiative was designed and piloted in 2023 with 6 community-based organizations in Trinidad, geared towards sharing traditional and indigenous problem solving strategies for community-based action, disaster relief, and mitigation

Publication of the Gayap Toolkit

This toolkit was published in 2024 to be used as a learning tool for communities to effectively onboard Gayaps within their communities. It includes activities, examples of best practices used by FACRP. This knowledge product is the first of its kind and has been showcased in regional forums held in Bahamas and Trinidad.

FACRP in collaboration with Birds Eye View Productions, produced this short film in 2023 capturing the experiences of 5 community led Gayaps and their experiences, lessons learnt and impact. This toolkit pairs well with the toolkit for future instalments of the Gayap toolkit initiative. FACRP welcomes partners to join our team to amplify this initiative.
