[2010-2014] Mainstreaming Indigenous People's Participation in Environmental Governance (MIPPEG)

MIPPEG was implemented by FPE and the Philippine Association for Intercultural Development (PAFID) in coordination with the National Commission for Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) to uplift the conditions of IPs living in biodiversity rich areas.

The project also aimed to uphold IP self-determination and sustain their ecologically friendly traditions while giving IPs a voice in the larger community’s sustainable development and in local governance.

The European Union (EU) through Fundacion Desarrollo Sustenido (Fundeso) supported this project.
