Tools for Development with Identity of Indigenous Peoples in Amazonia

implementation

The overall objective of this project is to generate studies and tools related to the inclusive and sustainable economic, social, and environmental development of Indigenous peoples in the Amazon region of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Suriname. The knowledge produced will help these countries identify sustainable development solutions aligned with the needs and expectations of diverse indigenous groups, as well as assess whether their progress is culturally relevant. Specifically, the project will generate relevant knowledge products on: a) conservation and development indicators that align with indigenous realities, b) the systematization of traditional indigenous knowledge as a foundation for designing indigenous-led project proposals, c) the implementation of an intercultural dialogue mechanism among development stakeholders to address bottlenecks identified in projects involving indigenous peoples; and, d) the dissemination of the knowledge generated. The main beneficiaries of this TC will be several national-level indigenous organizations and their represented communities across the seven participating countries, as well as national governments, which will receive new knowledge and tools to support their work with Amazonian Indigenous Peoples.
