JAC engages in the frameworks on climate action and biodiversity as an indigenous-led organisation.
Policy and Research
Our approaches to change or preserve the specific government and international agency programs affecting our indigenous communities
Jamii Asilia Centre aspires to provide a voice to champion for inclusion and equity
as espoused in both domestic and international laws towards a coordinated and systematic front to address constant violations which include inter alia forceful and illegal evictions, dispossession and displacements and underrepresentation in political spheres. All summed up to self-determination. With culturally-relevant ideas in socio-economic development, this can be achieved by developing their capacity to adopt sustainable best practices through advocacy, information dissemination, research and networking.
