RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT
GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 58 OF 101

Mitigation Measure(s)
The project is well aware of the long fight of indigenous communities to gain legal tenure of their territories.
PROFONANPE has gained the support of all levels of government. Building this relationship has required time and
perseverance, as well as trust-building activities. The main mitigation measures to be implemented are:
(a) Transparency in communication, stressing that the project has no land titling component;
(b) The Project will facilitate the registration of indigenous peoples with the National Registry, giving rights to those
legally recognized by the State, and as an early step in the process of land titling in Peru.
(c) Participation in project’s activities will be conditioned to peaceful and respectful assembly of all interested parties
to create a common vision for their territory. Conflict resolution training will be provided before the start of all
planning including community planning for the use of their natural resources;
(d) Dissemination of the project’s scope and components will continue during the entire live of the activities.
It is important to note that the project will not encourage land titling, instead it seeks to build consensus on long term
land-use planning of the territory already allocated to indigenous communities but also to promote conservation
areas which are to be managed by both local governments and indigenous communities. For example, Component
1, strengthening government agencies, seeks to build the enabling environment to: (i) give natural resources users
the responsibility to manage their territory; and, (ii) give legal protection to bio-business through approved
Management Plans. It is also relevant to indicate that representatives of indigenous groups at the local and national,
level will get involved in the decision making process of the project as members of the board of the project with a
yearly rotation period.

The potential failure of the bio-business is also critical
for ensuring the sustainability of the economic
activities which are innovative products with high
transaction costs.
