IPAF - Putting Indigenous Peoples at the heart of our projects

Indigenous Peoples are essential to protecting and restoring the world's ecosystems and natural environment, that's why Indigenous Peoples need to be at the heart of planning and implementation of projects that affect them. A pioneering new funding mechanism called IPAF is currently working with 53 indigenous communities in countries like Mexico. The communities are instrumental in both the design and implementation of projects and have had many successful outcomes.
