About RRI

Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) is a global coalition of more than 200 organizations dedicated to advancing the forest, land, and resource rights of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, Afro-descendant Peoples, and particularly women within these groups. RRI is coordinated by a Secretariat based in Washington, DC.

RRI and Campaign for Nature (CfN) launched the Community Land and Conservation Finance Initiative (CLARIFI) in January 2022. CLARIFI is an international funding mechanism to scale up support for secure community land rights. It aims to address the gap in investment in Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and Afro-descendant (IP, LC, and AD) organizations and their allies.

The Associate coordinates grants, partnerships, and program operations that strengthen community land rights across Asia. Reporting to the Director of CLARIFI, the Associate works closely with regional facilitators and cross‑functional teams across RRI to deliver high‑impact projects that support Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and Afro‑descendant organizations.

Join a global coalition advancing the land and resource rights of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and Afro‑descendant Peoples. At RRI, you’ll collaborate with colleagues and partners around the world to develop innovative approaches that strengthen community‑led conservation, environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and land rights.
