Evaluering
Institutional evaluation of Federation for Indigenous Peoples’ Self-Determination (FAPI)
FAPI was formed in 2001 as a result of a mass mobilization against an attempt to weaken the indigenous rights in the national legislation. The overall goal of FAPI is the recognition of Indigenous Peoples rights in Paraguay. It is essential for FAPI to strengthen the indigenous people’s organizations, to generate re-identification processes as people, and to influence decision-makers nationally and internationally. The Rainforest Foundation Norway has contributed with an institutional support to FAPI since 2007. Currently FAPI has twelve member organizations, six organizations in the eastern part of the country and six in west, and is the most representative indigenous confederation in Paraguay.
