As part of the Climate Resilient Islands programme, communities in Fiji have taken part in the Indigenous Knowledge Leadership Programme (IKLP), which provides an opportunity for communities to identify, revive and collectively strengthen traditional cultural practices.

The IKLP provides a way by which resilience concepts and practices can be localised. Indigenous knowledge is a means of strengthening ownership of and contextualising resilience actions. Typically, local IK includes traditional, nature-based solutions for restoring ecosystems and creating resilient agriculture.

This case study gives a brief overview of how the IKLP has operated so far in Fijian CRI communities.
