2025 state of funding for tenure rights
Compiled by RRI and RFN, this report provides the clearest picture yet of the state of funding for tenure rights between 2011–2024. It maps funding flows, reveals chronic underfunding of Indigenous and local tenure systems, and identifies key trends in disbursement mechanisms. The report offers six actions to rewire donor systems and ensure that more funding reaches the frontline defenders of land and forests. It serves as the data backbone of the global Path to Scale initiative.
