More about the contribution
The proposed intervention is 3 years-duration from January 2019 to December 2021. The contribution from Sweden will cover the proportional shortfall under this strategic plan where the cost of activities cannot be covered by the existing agreement with other donors since the supports are activities specific.To achieve the overarching objective of the strategic plan, the activities are planned and channel through five result areas as follow. Result Area 1: Indigenous peoples in Asia are empowered to promote, claim and defend legal recognition of their identities and collective and individual human rights including the right to self-determination. Result Area 2: Indigenous movements in Asia are strengthened by building broad solidarity and cooperation among indigenous peoples as well as with other social movements towards achieving equality, peace, democracy and justice;Result Area 3: The protection of the integrity of the natural environment is promoted and the sustainable resource management systems of indigenous peoples including their skills and traditional knowledge for food security, livelihood and protection of biodiversity is enhanced by having full control over their lands, territories and their resources;Result Area 4: Full and effective participation of indigenous women, and youth as well as vulnerable people, like indigenous persons with disabilities (IPwD) and elderly etc., and their capacities to promote and protect their rights;Result Area 5: AIPP’s governance, the secretariat and member organisations are strengthened.The implementation of AIPP current strategic plan has integrated the four-pronged approaches consisting of capacity building, advocacy and lobbying, organizational strengthening and research and communication into all its programme activities. The activities are delivered by AIPP 6 programme units which are Human Rights, Campaign and Policy Advocacy Programme, Environment Programme, Indigenous Women Programme, regional capacity building programme, communication development programme and organizational strengthening and movement building. Importantly, the implementation of this strategic plan also attempts to rectify the critical gap at country and sub-regional level in their organizational planning which is the key observation from AIPP evaluation in 2016. To bridge the gap, AIPP has adopted systematic bottom-up process in its operation under this strategic plan to conduct situation assessment, thematic mapping, prioritization and planning. Robust communication and consultation with the member organisations and networks are key for AIPP to successfully pursue the bottom-up consultative approach. It is anticipated that such practice will help establishing regular review mechanism and coordination among member organizations which will enable AIPP to overcome existing barriers and weaknesses regarding strengthening solidarity and unity, and lack of common agenda and coherence in strategy in their advocacy activities at the country-level. This can also contribute to the consolidation and unification of the indigenous communities which currently remain fragmented and have not been able to effectively build their movements.

Result
One of the key positive outcomes reported in 2024 was the discussion in Thailand regarding the Indigenous Peoples' rights bill. The House of Representatives has endorsed the bill. AIPP and its members have been instrumental in attaining this outcome, as they have spearheaded and mobilized Indigenous Peoples' Organizations in Thailand to campaign for the approval of the draft bill. For example, Chair of AIPP Board and Executive Council members have been appointed by the House of Representative as Committee Members of the Adhoc Committee for the Draft Law consideration of the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Ethnic Groups in Thailand. However, challenges persist in the Senate, where the debate centers on whether to recognize the term "indigenous people" within the bill. Some senators have suggested using the term "hill tribes" instead. Making this challenge even more difficult, the leading opposition party that openly supported this bill was dissolved by the Constitutional Court in August 2024. This is not a losing battle, but rather a demonstration that consistent advocacy and pressure for the protection of indigenous people are needed. Below are some other key examples of the results reported in 2024: - AIPP, along with its partners, the Nepal Indigenous Disabled Association (NIDA) and the National Indigenous Disabled Youth Association (NIDYA), conducted a review of the Act relating to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2017) in Nepal. Following their review and analysis, a white paper and an advocacy brief were prepared. Utilizing these documents, NIDA has initiated discussions with the legislative and executive branches to amend the Act, specifically to revise the requirements for the Disability ID card. - Members and partners of AIPP have actively participated in international human rights mechanisms, including CEDAW shadow reporting and UPR stakeholder reporting as well as UNEP process. They have contributed data and documentation on the situations of Indigenous Peoples (IPs), which has been integral to this process. A significant outcome of these efforts is the various studies conducted on the effects of militarization in indigenous territories. AIPP and members in Bangladesh and Philippines documented various human rights violations covering armed conflict, land grab, suppression of freedom of expression, sexual harassment and extrajudicial killings etc. Based on these reports, AIPP contributed to the UN Expert Mechanism on the rights of indigenous peoples (EMRIP) study pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 33/25. This study concludes with Expert Mechanism Advice No. 16 (2023) on the impact of militariztaion on the rights of indigenous people. Following this, EMRIP and AIPP are engaging in discussions to expand collaboration with UN mandate holders and IP organizations in Asia, aiming to launch a campaign against militarization in the region. Another recognition of AIPP's work is that AIPP staff was selected as a member of intergovernmental and multistakeholder advisory group (IMAG) to the Global Environment Outlook of UNEP. - In 2023, a total of 26 research studies on thematic and crosscutting issues were published. These reports have been utilized for a range of activities and platforms at both national and regional levels, highlighting various indigenous people issues in the region.
