In order to facilitate the transfer of funds and thus enable the timely response to approved cases, several options are recommended:

OPTION 1:

For countries with established National Fund Committees, IPRI shall transfer an earmarked fund to the national partner-­‐organization.

OPTION 2:

For countries with no established National Fund committee, IPRI shall transfer the approved fund requests to its member/partner-­‐organization in the country where the requests are coming from. The member/partner-­‐organization shall then facilitate the quick and timely delivery of the fund to the beneficiary/ies.

The roles of IP organizations/ peoples, affiliates, and partner organizations:

• Take active role in reviewing, verifying and endorsing cases of violations and identifying Indigenous Peoples, communities and organizations requiring support
• Assist in the documentation and verification of cases
• Exert maximum efforts to promote the rights of Indigenous Peoples by supporting campaigns, urgent alerts, petitions, etc., concerning human rights issues and concerns of other IP organizations or support groups
• Monitor and report HRVs to IPRI on behalf of beneficiary if beneficiary cannot do so
• Monitor and report to IPRI any outcome of support provided to Indigenous Peoples, communities or organizations under this Fund
• Monitor issues and changes in circumstances which will impact on the process, status, relevance and necessity of continued support for Indigenous Peoples rights.
