Officially launched in 2020, Podáali is the first Indigenous-led fund covering the Brazilian Amazon and is the result of over twenty years of reflection and collaboration within the Indigenous Movement of the Amazon to create its own mechanism to support Indigenous Peoples’ sustainability initiatives. In the language of the Baniwa people, Podáali is synonymous with celebration, reciprocity and the promotion of sustainability. The objective of the Fund is to strengthen the self-determination, protagonism, cultures and lifestyles of Indigenous Peoples and to promote the autonomous and sustainable management of territories and natural resources, aiming at the good living of Indigenous Peoples and of all humanity.
