Why i2i or ‘Indigenous to Indigenous’?

​

For many decades donor countries (e.g. USA, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom), multinational corporations and development agencies such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank have been sending competent non-Indigenous professionals to aid Indigenous communities in developing countries. In recent years, the emergence of Indigenous professionals has presented an opportunity to the development sector – there is now a pool of qualified, experienced and willing Indigenous professionals, contractors and companies ready to support development agendas with other Indigenous peoples globally.

​

Indigenous peoples are skilled in being effective within culturally and ethnically diverse environments. Many are proficient in achieving outcomes within culturally diverse workplaces and companies. These Indigenous professionals are a valuable pool of consultants and professionals to be considered for overseas aid and development contracts.

 

Most Indigenous professionals have already established their professional experiences within similar community contexts as those found with other Indigenous peoples in other countries. They are now ready to assist fellow Indigenous peoples with their own development agendas.
