Overview
The workshop aims to improve funding access for Indigenous Peoples and local communities, addressing existing gaps in data collection and monitoring. Our goal is to come out with actionable recommendations, emphasising systematic monitoring for informed policy, accountability, and impactful strategies to direct funding to the peoples and communities protecting the world’s richest ecosystems.
The Global Alliance of Territorial Communities is a co-organizer as it continues to implement the Shandia Platform’s strategy.
Objectives & Outcomes
The overall objective of this initiative is to enhance the access of Indigenous Peoples and local communities to funding that underpin their role as indispensable partners for reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Global Biodiversity Framework and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development.
More specifically, the workshop will discuss:
- Experiences of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, NGOs, donors and international organisations in tracking and monitoring funding for Indigenous Peoples and local Communities.
- Ways to enhance monitoring of funding flows to Indigenous Peoples and local communities, with a view to improving transparency, coordination, dialogue and strategies.
The expected outcome is a set of actionable recommendations for:
- Enhancing dialogue, coordination and complementarity between key actors working to improve tracking of funding for Indigenous Peoples and local communities.
- Systematizing and institutionalising tracking of funding flows to Indigenous Peoples and local communities.
