Indigenous Women and Decision Making

This ongoing initiative seeks to develop the capacity of women at the local/community level so they can excel in leadership roles. RIPP's Indigenous Women in Decision-Making project, carried out in cooperation with UNDP's Asia Pacific Gender Mainstreaming Programme, Asia Indigenous Peoples' Pact (AIPP) and local in-country partners, provides skills training throughout the region to enable indigenous women to more effectively participate in decision-making processes affecting their lives, families and communities.

The Indigenous Women in Decision-Making initiative has been identified as a “good practice” by the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Indigenous Women and is included in a compilation on “Indigenous Women and the United Nations System” launched at the 6th session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
