Center for Indigenous Peoples' Research and Development (CIPRED), established in 2011 aims for policy research, documentation, and publications in the field of natural resource governance, climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem, education, traditional health, and livelihoods in relation to Indigenous Peoples. We are devoted to the promotion, protection, and recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ customary institutions, self-governance systems, customary land tenure rights, Indigenous food and economy, skills, and cultural values that contribute to natural resource management, climate change resilience, biodiversity, and ecosystems. CIPRED has been working in coordination and collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, women, youth, local communities, government agencies, universities and research centers at local, national, and global levels based on the principle of Indigenous Peoples' Sustainable Self Determined Development (IPSSDD).

Vision: A just, equitable and transformative society with the assurance of self-determination, dignity, rights, and well-being of Indigenous Peoples including customary governance, knowledge system, and cultural values.

Mission: Indigenous Peoples and intersectional groups leading research for evidence-based policy advocacy, promoting, and mainstreaming Indigenous education and self-determined development, inter-generational transfer of customary governance, knowledge systems, cultural values, food & economy and traditional livelihoods.
