OverviewFor several years the Forest Peoples Programme has worked with the national NGO Pusaka and local partners in six Indonesian provinces and at the national level, to help indigenous peoples, local communities and local NGOs understand REDD+ and the obligations on governments and  REDD+ developers to respect community rights. These briefings draw on this work and review REDD+ developments in Aceh, Riau, Central Kalimantan, Central Sulawesi, Papua and West Papua and at the national level, from the perspective of the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities.

In search of recognition

01 Apr 2003
‘We will not recognise the State, unless the State recognises us’ is AMAN’s challenge to the Indonesian Government to reverse its policy of integration and recognise indigenous peoples’ right to govern themselves. This book records the results of a series of community-level workshops to examine the challenges raised by this demand and how indigenous communities can find their own solutions in line with their right to self-determination.
