Participants and mechanisms of the network

The IKAP network secretariat invites all interested and motivated people who can engage and contribute to the network to join in. This network only lives from the input of its members as we try to provide an information service about ongoing and planned activities supporting Indigenous Knowledge in MMSEA. The IKAP network aims for direct and meaningful involvement of Indigenous communities themselves, but we are aware of local limitations and will rely, when necessary, on committed development and research groups and organisations.

Participants and beneficiaries of the IKAP-network will be members of Indigenous communities in the mountainous areas of the six countries of the region, staff and leaders of NGOs and IPOs and development workers and/or researchers linked to NRM-projects and Rural Development projects in indigenous and tribal communities in the region.
