About RRI:

The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) is a global coalition of over 200 organizations dedicated to advancing the forest, land, and resource rights of Indigenous Peoples (IP), Afro-descendant Peoples (ADP),local communities (LC), and the women within these groups. RRI leverages the power of its global coalition to amplify the voices of local peoples and proactively engage governments, multilateral institutions, and private sector actors to adopt institutional and market reforms that support the realization of rights. Its members capitalize on each other’s strengths, expertise, and geographic reach to achieve solutions more effectively and efficiently. By advancing a strategic understanding of the global threats and opportunities resulting from insecure land and resource rights, RRI develops and promotes rights-based approaches to business and development and catalyzes effective solutions to scale rural tenure reform and enhance sustainable resource governance.

About CLARIFI:

The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) and Campaign for Nature (C4N) launched the Community Land Rights and Conservation Finance Initiative (CLARIFI) in January 2022 to bridge a critical funding gap: while Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and Afro-descendant Peoples protect the world’s most

biodiverse regions, they currently receive less than 1% of global climate finance. CLARIFI serves as a “trusted bridge,” acting as an international funding mechanism that provides direct financing and technical support to rightsholders’ organizations rather than implementing projects itself. Governed by the rightsholders themselves, the initiative aims to contribute to the sector’s goal of raising US$10 billion by 2030 to secure landrights for an additional 400 million hectares and protect 30% of the planet. CLARIFI deploys direct grants ranging from US$100,000 to US$1 million and functions as a pass-through mechanism for larger-scale investments between US$1 million and US$50 million to advance the integrated goals of justice, climate, conservation, and development.
