On 6-7 November 2023, Shandia and Charapa convened a multi-stakeholder workshop in Paris, to explore ways to enhance and institutionalize the tracking of funding for Indigenous Peoples and local communities.
At the workshop, more than 65 representatives of organizations, networks, platforms and funding mechanisms of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, bilateral donors, philanthropic funders, UN and multilateral agencies, civil society organizations and researchers agreed on the Paris Roadmap for Tracking of Funds.
The Roadmap will help resolve a long overdue systemic gap, and will require coordination, co-creation and complementary efforts, in which donors, multilateral agencies, civil society, Indigenous Peoples and local communities all have a part.
