The Kawari Fund is launching its first generation of small- to medium-sized grants to mobilize urgent support to IPs and LCs and subnational and national governments. These grants seek to catalyze grassroots organizations and jurisdictions across a broad set of geographies where governments are demonstrating political will to advance rights-based carbon programs. This first stage of support intends to address the initial barriers to participation, related to fundamental issues of transparency, lack of clarity regarding safeguard conformance and implementation, and open exchange on the content of proposed carbon programs.
Kawari is inviting eligible entities to submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) by October 31, 2023 for proposals to support strategic and specific opportunities to advance the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities through jurisdictional forest carbon finance initiatives.
