At the time, there was no expectation that this initial exchange would develop into a long-term dialogue.

An external facilitator, the <a href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r03\/___https:\/www.keystone.org\/___.YXYyYzplbWVyZ2luZ2FnOmM6b2ZmaWNlMzY1X2VtYWlsc19hdHRhY2htZW50OjVhMDkyZTUyODQ0YTZmYzgwNDkwYjkzYzNjZWRjODAxOjc6NjIzNzpiMmM1ZmUxOWRiYjFjZmU5OWE0MDg2MzUxOGU3ZGZmNmI0M2Q1NDExNDIxNmQ1MWMyYTM0ZjY5N2I1NmI3MTQ3OnA6VDpG\">Keystone Policy Center<\/a>, was hired by the researchers, with the clear understanding that the process needed to be shaped equally by both groups. The facilitator brought impartiality and objectivity to the process, allowing both parties to express themselves more freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acknowledging the diverse cultural backgrounds and value systems in this dialogue was also essential for fostering respectful and meaningful relationships and engagement. The participants from each group came from different regions in the world \u2013 Latin America, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Pacific \u2013 and had diverse cultures, practices, and other knowledge and perspectives. Creating space for these differences was key for fostering respectful and meaningful relationships and engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first engagements highlighted a shared frustration: online dialogues were making trust-building and genuine interactions difficult. In later meetings, the science of gene drive was explained through more interactive methods; the mosquito laboratory visit in Terni was organized in response to the need to see and experience the scientific context directly. As observed in previous laboratory visits, this real-life exposure to science can change perceptions. By observing the laboratories and interacting directly with researchers, the visit provided a first-hand experience of how gene drive research is carried out and the measures taken to ensure its safe and responsible advancement in containment. This helps to build trust and to ease concerns often associated with genetic technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-1.jpeg 936w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-1-18x12.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ae2b4ce503e133d13fcbb8589a96abf3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>Participants of the \u201cBridging Worlds: Fostering Dialogue Between IP&amp;LCs and Gene Drive Researchers\u201d <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r03\/___https:\/genedrivenetwork.org\/blog\/bridging-worlds-fostering-dialogue-between-iplcs-and-gene-drive-researchers\/___.YXYyYzplbWVyZ2luZ2FnOmM6b2ZmaWNlMzY1X2VtYWlsc19hdHRhY2htZW50OjVhMDkyZTUyODQ0YTZmYzgwNDkwYjkzYzNjZWRjODAxOjc6NjcxNjphZDFiZTNkODQyNDY5NzE4ZjdkMTY4NmJlMzRiMGNjNTUyMGZjMGEwNmYxNTUyNjdhMGJlYTg2OGIyOWFiODgyOnA6VDpG\"><em>event<\/em><\/a><em> co-organized by the Red de Mujeres Indigenas sobre Biodiversidad para America Latina y el Caribe (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r03\/___https:\/rmib-lac.org\/___.YXYyYzplbWVyZ2luZ2FnOmM6b2ZmaWNlMzY1X2VtYWlsc19hdHRhY2htZW50OjVhMDkyZTUyODQ0YTZmYzgwNDkwYjkzYzNjZWRjODAxOjc6ZTAxNzphOWFmNGI2NDBiYzVlODMyOTU3YzlhNDdkYWE0ZjIxOWY1YTBjNjg5MjFiMjkwODY2NTAzYmIzMWZiMTQyNmFiOnA6VDpG\"><em>RMIB-LAC<\/em><\/a><em>) and Outreach Network for Gene Drive Research at the First meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Article 8(j) at SBSTTA 27 in Panama in October 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our paper, we present the principles that formed the backbone of this dialogue, including good faith, collective ownership, reciprocity, respect for Indigenous knowledge, and equitable collaboration. We also discuss the challenges that emerged during this initiative, including the complexity of the topic and the limited time available. The process of writing this paper and its publication also exemplified some of these difficulties, particularly in presenting a case study of dialogue, including different knowledge systems, rather than a theoretical paper about engagement. Experiences from gene drive research projects that have engaged with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities over several years show that meaningful engagement and capacity development require time and sustained commitment through several iterations. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving forward, similar dialogues should be encouraged, promoted and supported. Parties to the CBD should consider investing in similar initiatives to address power imbalances and ensure Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities&#8217; perspectives are integrated into research and decision-making.
