Protection and sustainable management in indigenous territories (FUNAI)

active

The aim of the project Protection and Sustainable Management in Indigenous Areas is to improve protection and management in selected Terras Indígenas (TIs) in the Amazon. A financial agent is intended as the recipient of the financial contribution. The financial agent will support the project sponsor, the Brazilian indigenous authority FUNAI (Fundação Nacional do Índio), in implementing the project. The direct target groups of the project are i) the indigenous population in the selected TIs and ii) the decentralized units of FUNAI in these areas. Other indigenous population groups and their organizations as well as the FUNAI headquarters in Brasília also benefit indirectly from the strengthening of the decentralized units of FUNAI. The total cost of the project is EUR 8.8 million. It is divided into an 8 million FC financial contribution and EUR 0.8 million FUNAI's own contribution.
