IBIS in Bolivia

Our program in Bolivia seeks to support the strengthening of the indigenous movements in their political and organizational capacities for the full implementation of their collective rights and the strengthening of democracy in the Bolivian State.

We accompany the indigenous organizations in their fight to achieve:

Proactive and political capacity to defend and implement their rights,
An efficient management of their territorial entities with decision-making power, consensus and democracy,
Critical and purposeful capacity towards the state and civil society.
We therefore seek the consolidation of alliances and favourable conditions that can be achieved by the indigenous peoples for the approval of their regulatory proposals and the creation of positive conditions for their implementation.

The Bolivia Program considers it fundamental to strengthen and increase its capacity through alliances and exchanges of experiences in conflict management. Furthermore we must facilitate spaces for political compromise between indigenous organizations of Bolivia from both the highlands and lowlands.
