Description:
Guyana's Indigenous communities rely on subsistence agriculture, which offers them uncertain returns due to increasingly unpredictable growing conditions and constant threat of natural disasters. Many communities are exploring how to diversify their livelihoods through small-scale projects such as agro-processing, tourism, and artisan crafts. Our grantee South Rupununi Conservation Society (SRCS) is an Indigenous-led organization that supports community-based organizations in five Indigenous communities to improve their small-scale projects as well as their project management and governance practices. This grant advances the IAF's strategic initiative to promote the economic and social inclusion and human rights of historically marginalized populations.
