Description
REDAA Grants fund research-to-action initiatives led by local organisations in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. The programme aims to improve evidence, tools, civic space, and governance powers for Indigenous Peoples and communities, addressing gender equality, social inclusion, climate resilience, and action for nature. Grants support projects that build local research capacity, conduct resource and land use assessments, develop sustainable business models, establish financing mechanisms, and strengthen inclusive governance systems. The initiative encourages the use of new technologies and emphasizes strong local involvement in project design and leadership, seeking to deliver tangible benefits for both people and nature.
