The ability to share information, experiences and lessons learned between the different IP groups will increase the groups‘ capacity and will make it easier for the IPs to speak with one voice and decide collectively which issues should be prioritized for the IP agenda. It will also add clout to the IP-led movement with the sheer numbers of organizations and people in the network, increasing its leverage at both the national and international level. Authorities at the local and national. One of the key reasons for the exclusion of IP voices from land rights and other policies affecting IPs and the apparent disregard for their human rights by the authorities is the lack of IP representation at all levels of government, be it at commune, district or national level. It is therefore extremely important for the IPs to take active part in the mainstream electoral process, including running as candidates or forming separate indigenous peoples parties. Ministry of Land and Natural Resources. Since the Ministry is vested with the final say about when and whether an IP community will receive a community land title, it is of paramount importance for the CSOs and IP organizations to have a good relationship with the Ministry and its representatives. Judiciary. The courts are the last recourse at the domestic level for IP communities to try and enforce their land and resource rights. Therefore establishing good working relations and linkages with the judiciary is very important. While this process will most likely be very time consuming due to the widespread lack of independence and weakness of Cambodia‘s court system, it is a step that must be taken sooner or later for meaningful change to happen on the ground. 40 Donors. IP organizations need to establish strong relations with donor organizations, in order to increase their chances of sustained and direct funding for activities and projects that are designed for IPs by IPs. Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact. Cited as an example of best practice is the annual Asia regional preparatory meetings to devise strategies and plans of action in relation to the various United Nations mechanisms and procedures as well as other relevant international bodies and agencies, organized by the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact with the active participation of selfselected representatives of indigenous peoples, indigenous experts and representatives of United Nations agencies. Specific ‘spaces’ or opportunities for indigenous peoples’ organizations and civil society Presence of increasingly strong IP movements and networks. The IP communities in Cambodia’s Rattanakiri and Mundolkiri provinces are increasingly strong and well organized. Thanks to the support of IRAM and local CSOs, IPs in these provinces are engaging in campaigns and are mobilizing to defend their lands, territories and resources. An increasing number of IPs have a very good knowledge about their land and resource rights and are eager to share that knowledge with others in their communities. At regional level, the network of indigenous peoples known as the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) is engaging in numerous processes at regional and international levels to advocate for indigenous peoples’ rights to lands, territories and resources, including in the context of climate change and REDD+, resource management, international finance, extractive industries, human rights monitoring, development, support to indigenous women and Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC)
