IFIP GLOBAL CONFERENCE 2025
The International Funders for Indigenous Peoples (IFIP) is preparing to host its Global Conference in Kenya in February 2025. This Conference holds significant importance as IFIP sets foot for the first time in the African region, specifically in Kenya. Africa presents distinctive challenges for Indigenous Peoples, spanning land rights issues, cultural preservation, and access to resources. Hosting the conference in Kenya offers an invaluable opportunity to amplify the voices and priorities of Indigenous Peoples in Africa, who often find themselves marginalized or sidelined in global discussions. By bringing IFIP to Africa, it ensures that African Indigenous Peoples have a platform to voice their perspectives on crucial issues such as land rights, climate justice, and cultural preservation.
