CSR Facility 2015: IWGIA. Accountability in Practice: Promoting csr as a means to advance indigenous peoples rights and livelihoods in Nepal

The project aims at strengthening the capacity of indigenous peoples¿ organisations and of indigenous communities to actively promote and influence selected business sectors operating in indigenous areas in Nepal to respect indigenous peoples¿ rights as an integral part of their CSR as well as to establish favourable conditions for dialogue with key national and international stakeholders on CSR standards and specific policies that can guide businesses in positively engaging with indigenous peoples. This will lead to an improvement of the livelihood and well-being of indigenous peoples in Nepal but also other countries where the project experiences can help strengthen indigenous peoples¿ work with human rights and business.
