[Capacity Development] Indigenous Biocultural Exchange Fund Announcement - Round #4

[infoVN]

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the fourth round of the Indigenous Biocultural Exchange Fund (IBEX Fund), a project administered by the Global Learning Programs Division and supported by The Christensen Fund.  Details of the program are attached but, in sum, this initiative makes financial support available to indigenous peoples and members of the local traditional communities to attend a global biocultural event/exchange or meeting of international significance which impacts the applicant’s home territory or region.  The IBEX Fund will help to defray costs, which include international airfare, hotel/lodging, conference fees, meals, incidentals, local transportation, visa fees, and travel insurance.  
We encourage you to share this opportunity with potential applicants (other NGO colleagues; program alumni) worldwide.  For additional information, please review the attached flyer; log on to www.iie.org/ibex  or you are welcome to send questions to me or my colleague, Vanessa Sayajon at IBEX at iie.org
We look forward to the next steps on this exciting opportunity.

Helene Mantell
