Who We Are

CLARIFI is a global initiative with a priority to support projects in low- lower and middle-income countries (LLMICs), and all ecosystem types, particularly those located in ecosystems, lands and territories not covered by other financing mechanisms, and where there is a clear complementarity with other mechanisms.

CLARIFI complements the existing ecosystem of financial mechanisms for investing in community rights, livelihoods, and conservation, including those that were instigated by RRI (the Tenure Facility and the Strategic Response Mechanism) as well as national and regional-level funds being created by Indigenous and community rightsholders’ organizations.

CLARIFI regrants funds to advance the integrated goals of justice, climate, conservation, and development in a wide range of LLMICs around the world. It aims to deploy grants of $100,000 to $1 million as well as supporting rightsholders’ organizations as a pass-through financial mechanism for larger grants between $1–$50 million.
