Completed and presented by Anjali Thakker, Maxime Groen, Victoria Rachmaninoff, Haley Riley under the advisement of Dr. Cristy Watkins and Dr. Arun Agrawal.
Abstract: Established in 2005, the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) is a global coalition dedicated to
promoting land tenure and policy reform for Indigenous Peoples, local communities,
Afro-descendants and women. Through an institutional ethnography framework, this report analyzes
the operations, successes, and challenges of RRI in order to synthesize strategies for tenure reform and
document the perspectives of coalition members. As an influential organization in the field of land
tenure, forest conservation, and environmental justice, understanding these factors will also inform
members outside of the coalition as keys to success for strategies in coalitional land tenure advocacy.
