CIPDP

Chepkitale Indigenous People Development Project

Member since: 2016

Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Respect and protect the inherent land and territorial rights of indigenous peoples, as set out in ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge and cultures contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment".
5

Secure territorial rights for Indigenous Peoples

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions
8

Transparent and accessible information

Mission

CIPDP is a non-governmental organization registered by the Chepkita Ogiek in 2003. Its aim is to ensure the realization of Chepkita people's rights. 

Objectives

The main objective is recognizing the rights of marginalized communities. CIPDP's work has focused on the following processes in recent years:

(i) Mt. Elgon Provincial Resolution on the transfer of community ownership to the community,

(ii) the drafting of community legislation on Ogiek and the training of community parties for their implementation,

(iii) cooperation with the National Land Commission (NLC).

Constituencies

CIPDP is networked at both national and international levels. It coordinates the Kenyan Forest Indigenous Peoples Network (FIPN) and cooperates with the Sengwer Indigenous Peoples Program (SIPP), the Katiba Institute and the Ogiek Peoples Development Project. It works closely with the British Forest Peoples Program (FPP) and is a member of the International Land Coalition (ILC) and ICCA Consortium.
