Indigenous Women Program Fellowship 2026

The Land is Life Indigenous Women’s Program is a global initiative designed and led by Indigenous women to empower Indigenous communities across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The program supports Indigenous women and their organisations in asserting their rights to access, use, and control land and natural resources, while improving livelihoods and promoting the protection of collective entitlements.

.

The year-long fellowship nurtures the next generation of Indigenous women leaders who are driving transformative change within their communities. It supports those taking innovative steps to advance gender equality, strengthen community well-being, and secure recognition of land and resource rights.
