Outcomes of COP27: Dóchas
Ms Jane Meriwas:
Yes. When I talk about accountability it also needs to be accompanied by addressing issues around information. Information needs to reach the communities that are most in need, because it is lacking and not there. Second, these communities also need education to access this aid. Where I come from 95% of people are semi-literate. They cannot read. They do not have smartphones. Information to provide accountability is not there, and it becomes a challenge. That is what I meant, and I thank the Senator for raising that key question.
