The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI)

(The funding amount only reflects the support from Finland)

Location: Asia, Africa, Latin America

The RRI supports the developing world’s Indigenous Peoples and local communities in forests and other rural areas, helping them to secure and realize the rights to own, control, and benefit from the natural resources they have depended on for generations.

RRI works together with community organizations, civil society, governments, international institutions, and the private sector to promote and accelerate global efforts to improve local livelihoods, reform forest tenure and governance, combat poverty, mitigate the effects of climate change, and deliver sustainable development.
