The International Land and Forest Tenure Facility
The International Land and Forest Tenure Facility (Tenure Facility) is the first and only international, multi-stakeholder financial mechanism exclusively focused on securing land and forest rights for Indigenous Peoples and local communities. It provides grants to implement tenure rights under existing law and policy and shares the knowledge, innovations and tools that emerge. The Tenure Facility is dedicated to scaling up recognition of collective land and forest rights globally. This helps reduce conflict and further the achievement of global human rights, environment, and development goals. The Tenure Facility is an international foundation registered in Sweden. The Tenure Facility is supported by several donors, including the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), Good Energies Foundation, Mulago Foundation, the European Commission, Global Wildlife Conservation, and the Ford Foundation.
