Explore and use our community-based monitoring tools

The Indigenous Navigator offers a series of tools and resources for indigenous communities to monitor their rights.

Indigenous communities can use data to calculate and illustrate the levels of recognition and realization of their rights on the ground. Community data is a strong advocacy tool to advance local demands.

Some users will need only the questionnaires to generate data on indigenous peoples' human rights and development situation. Others will benefit from the broader range of tools and resources that offer extensive guidance that can be applied to a multitude of different areas of work.

All tools and resources are interlinked and are designed to serve multiple purposes. They can all be downloaded and printed out for use at trainings and in the field.
