Community conservation works.
Strong local organizations make it possible.
Menjadi supports local organizations across Southeast Asia to build stronger organizations and access funding, for community-led stewardship of land and sea.
We are working towards:
a sector that centers local organizations and their essential role in community conservation.
a funding system that supports their agency to thrive on their own terms.
a world where the rights of Indigenous Peoples are recognized and communities lead the governance of land and sea.
What we do
Organizational Development
We help local CSOs grow and strengthen by facilitating and advising on organizational strengthening priorities, customized to each partners’ needs and organizational contexts.
Shifting power and funding
We research, publish and advocate for shifts in practice that create the enabling conditions for local conservation NGOs to flourish. We also help partners access funding directly.
Consulting Services
We consult on mission-aligned projects, where we inform and advise the practises and strategies of philanthropic institutions and international NGOs.
