The Forest Peoples Programme (FPP), HuMa, Pusaka, and Sawit Watch held capacity building workshops in the Animha and Semangga Districts of Indonesia to assist the Malind peoples of Merauke District to resist the takeover of their customary lands and forests by the Merauke Integrated Food and Energy Estate (MIFEE). The workshops presented proposed activities for advocacy at the international level (UN-CERD and UPR), national level (lawsuits, approaches to relevant ministries) and Merauke engaging with the district and provincial government, village-level developments). These dialogues have lead to increased understanding by these communities of advocacy options and an increase in their capacity to voice their concerns.
