Funding with purpose: Territorial Funds as a Pathway to Enable Women-led Initiatives

This conversation will focus on the potential of territorial funds to support Indigenous and local women in biodiversity-rich landscapes. Panelists will share their expertise on the practical challenges of establishing and managing territorial funds to ensure they effectively meet the needs of women-led initiatives. The discussion will also highlight the barriers women face in protecting their rights and explore how territorial funds can help overcome these challenges.

Women in leadership roles are crucial to shifting power dynamics. By placing women at the center of decision making – allocating grants and directing resources – territorial funds can leverage the strength of strong, community-driven relationships to create lasting impact.
