In order to facilitate the transfer of funds and thus enable the timely response to approved cases, several options are recommended:
OPTION 1:
For countries with established National Fund Committees, IPRI shall transfer an earmarked fund to the national partner-‐organization.
OPTION 2:
For countries with no established National Fund committee, IPRI shall transfer the approved fund requests to its member/partner-‐organization in the country where the requests are coming from. The member/partner-‐organization shall then facilitate the quick and timely delivery of the fund to the beneficiary/ies.
The roles of IP organizations/ peoples, affiliates, and partner organizations:
- Take active role in reviewing, verifying and endorsing cases of violations and identifying Indigenous Peoples, communities and organizations requiring support
- Assist in the documentation and verification of cases
- Exert maximum efforts to promote the rights of Indigenous Peoples by supporting campaigns, urgent alerts, petitions, etc., concerning human rights issues and concerns of other IP organizations or support groups
- Monitor and report HRVs to IPRI on behalf of beneficiary if beneficiary cannot do so
- Monitor and report to IPRI any outcome of support provided to Indigenous Peoples, communities or organizations under this Fund
- Monitor issues and changes in circumstances which will impact on the process, status, relevance and necessity of continued support for Indigenous Peoples rights.
