Evaluering
External evaluation of the CTI programs in Vale do Javari supported by Rainforest Foundation Norway (Portuguese)
A partnership was initiated in 1994 between CTI and the Rainforest Foundation of Norway (RFN) when the two organizations agreed to cooperate toward the implementation of a series of projects intended to support the efforts of the indigenous peoples and their communities’ attempts to assume effective control over any intervention in their territories. The partnership has subsequently been continued, and in 2007 it was agreed to start the two projects included in the evaluation. They are both being implemented in Vale do Javari, located in the western part in the state Amazonas. The two projects are based on the principle of empowerment of indigenous people and their organizations and promotion of their institutional rights. While one of them aims to promote indigenous peoples’ participation in territorial administration and environmental and cultural conservation and defense, the other project aims at promotion and affirmation indigenous peoples’ rights and the protection of the autonomous indigenous population and their territories in the frontier region between Brazil and Peru.
