The International Land and Forest Tenure Facility focuses on securing land and forest rights for Indigenous Peoples and local communities. We are the first financial mechanism to exclusively fund projects working towards this goal while driving development, reducing conflict, improving global human rights, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. We provide funding directly to communities and their partners; build relationships with key government actors and the private sector, providing technical expertise required to implement tenure rights within existing laws and policy.
