Scaling-up Collective Land Rights and Locally Led Conservation in the Congo Basin

This project will build capacity of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, particularly the women within them, to secure their rights to their territories and design conservation and management plans for those lands. More specifically, this effort will accelerate community-level action to advance rights and conservation, strengthen local organizational capacity, establish a community-based monitoring and reporting system, track global progress on securing community rights and conservation, and foster strategic. It will be implemented in coordination with the Network of Indigenous and Local Populations for the Sustainable Management of Central African Forest Ecosystems (REPALEAC) and RRI’s coalition in the Congo Basin.
