The Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) is a regional organization founded in 1988 by indigenous peoples’ movements in Asia. Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, AIPP’s member-organizations are committed to promoting, asserting and defending Indigenous Peoples’ rights and human rights by strengthening the solidarity and cooperation of Indigenous Peoples, and through capacity building and articulating issues and concerns of Indigenous Peoples in Asia. AIPP works at the grassroots, national, regional and international level through its six different programs: (1) Human rights, (2) Regional Capacity Building, (3) Environment, (4) Indigenous Women, (5) Research and Communication Development and (6) Indigenous Youth.
