Leaders from the six different Tribal groups in Suriname organize into the Kampos Foundation (Kwinti, Aluku, Matawai, Paamaka, Okanisi, Saamaka).

 

The six tribal groups of Suriname decide to organize into a foundation in order to create a common approach for the legal recognition of land rights of tribal peoples in Suriname. Also, in that way they could be more effective in National and International lobby and advocacy.

KAMPOS provides the opportunity to all 6 tribal groups to unify their voice in their fight for land rights recognition. Also, under the umbrella of this organization, tribal leaders agree on a common Free Prior and Inform Consent protocol (FPIC).
