Evaluation: Norway’s rainforest initiative does not walk the talk on indigenous peoples
The Norwegian rainforest initiative says indigenous peoples are the best guardians of tropical forests, but only one indigenous-run organisation has received a direct grant through the initiative's civil society support channelled by Norad. An evaluation of the programme calls this discrepancy a "weakness", and states that consultation with indigenous peoples should be given a much more central role at the strategic level.
