• " IN AFRICA, THE HISTORIC SIGNING OF A NEW LAW TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIGENOUS PYGMY PEOPLES IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO (DRC) MARKED A HARD-WON VICTORY FOR OUR AFRICA COALITION THAT'S BEEN A DECADE IN MAKING. WE ALSO WELCOMED THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY LAND ACT IN KENYA; A COMMITMENT FROM THE LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT TO REVIEW OIL PALM CONCESSIONS THAT HAVE WREAKED HAVOC ON COMMUNITIES; AND A LANDMARK COURT VICTORY FOR THE OGIEK OF MT. ELGON, KENYA. " IN LATIN AMERICA, RRI SUPPORTED A GROUNDBREAKING INITIATIVE WITH GRASSROOTS AFRO-DESCENDANT PEOPLES ORGANIZATIONS TO GENERATE A FIRST OF ITS KIND MAP OF AFRO-DESCENDANT TERRITORIES IN THE REGION. ACROSS THE REGION, WE HELPED WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS DEVELOP INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES FOR TERRITORIAL DEFENSE AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY. FOR EXAMPLE, SEE THE COORDINATION OF WOMEN TERRITORIAL LEADERS OF MESOAMERICA 'S PROTOCOL FOR COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO HEALTH CRISES BASED ON TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE. RRI-SUPPORTED NETWORKS ALSO IMPROVED GENDER EQUITY IN THEIR RANKS. AMPB (MEXICO) ELECTED ITS FIRST WOMAN VICE PRESIDENT, WHILE AIDESEP IN PERU AND ONIC IN COLOMBIA BOTH ACHIEVED GENDER PARITY IN THEIR GOVERNANCE." IN ASIA, OUR COALITION SUPPORTED SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND STRENGTHENED COMMUNITIES' CAPACITY IN LEGAL ADVOCACY, DEMYSTIFYING COMPLEX GOVERNMENT PROCESSES, AND MONITORING RIGHTS VIOLATIONS. IN FEBRUARY, 20 INDIGENOUS AND LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST ASIA CAME TOGETHER TO PRODUCE THE FIRST EVER COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS ON RECONCILING GLOBAL CONSERVATION GOALS WITH COMMUNITY LAND RIGHTS IN ASIA.

RRI'S TENURE COALITION IN INDONESIA PROVIDED A CRITICAL SPACE IN INDONESIA FOR COORDINATING VARIOUS POLITICAL AGENDAS LINKED TO TENURE, HELPING MEMBERS PREPARE FOR ADVOCACY AROUND THE UPCOMING 2024 NATIONAL ELECTIONS. IN NEPAL, COALITION MEMBERS SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR A NEW POLITICAL STRUCTURE THAT EMPOWERS PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ENACT LAWS THAT CAN FREE COMMUNITY FORESTRY FROM THE FOREST BUREAUCRACY'S CONTROL." FOR OUR GENDER JUSTICE PROGRAM, THIS WAS A YEAR OF ACTION. WE LAUNCHED A CALL TO ACTION FOR GENDER-INCLUSIVE FINANCE, A COLLECTIVE EFFORT FROM 41 INDIGENOUS, LOCAL COMMUNITY AND AFRO-DESCENDANT WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS FROM ASIA, AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA. THE CALL URGED THE INTERNATIONAL DONOR COMMUNITY TO INCREASE CLIMATE AND CONSERVATION FUNDING FOR INDIGENOUS, AFRO-DESCENDANT, AND LOCAL COMMUNITY WOMEN. FOLLOWING THIS CALL, RRI AND THE SIGNATORIES LAUNCHED THE WOMEN IN GLOBAL SOUTH ALLIANCE FOR TENURE AND CLIMATE, A NEW NETWORK OF WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH THAT WILL ADVOCATE FOR THE CALL'S RECOMMENDATIONS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
