Global Indigenous Development Trust

Global Indigenous Development Trust (GIDT) is dedicated to empowering Indigenous communities across the Americas, enabling them to develop their people and resources effectively. The trust envisions a world where Indigenous Peoples are respected and empowered as key decision-makers in the development of their lands and natural resources, contributing significantly to both their communities and the global collective.

Global Indigenous Development Trust acts as a curator of successful models and capacity-building programs. These initiatives focus on economic governance, negotiating equitable partnerships, and implementing effective benefit-sharing mechanisms worldwide, particularly in communities facing development on their lands. GIDT is committed to helping Indigenous Peoples secure a seat at the decision-making table on issues that affect their lands and the future of our societies. With headquarters in Toronto, CA, Global Indigenous Development Trust is actively working to scale up its models of indigenous empowerment, ensuring Indigenous voices are heard and valued.

Global Indigenous Development Trust recognizes the invaluable knowledge Indigenous Peoples hold, particularly as guardians of 80% of Earth’s remaining healthy ecosystems. By advocating for increased support and equitable partnerships, GIDT strives to benefit both present and future generations. We invite the manager of Global Indigenous Development Trust to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform to further amplify their mission and impact.
