Centre for the development of the Amazonian Indigenous

The Centre for the development of the Amazonian Indigenous (CEDIA) is a Peruvian indigenous rights organization. According to its official website, it works to strengthen the governance of Amazonian peoples and the global conservation of biodiversity. It describes accompanying Amazonian peoples in the recognition and titling of their territories for more than 40 years, and today pursues this through five lines of action: Territory, Governance, Indigenous Economy, Conservation, and PIACI (protection of indigenous peoples in isolation and initial contact). CEDIA's work is framed around community-led management of large Amazonian landscapes. Its Territory line seeks legal recognition and protection of communal territories as a basis for exercising rights and planning development from an indigenous perspective. Its Governance line strengthens organizational and management capacities so communities can participate actively in decisions about their territories. Its Indigenous Economy line promotes sustainable economic initiatives that value traditional knowledge and community well-being without compromising the ecosystem. Its Conservation line promotes conservation of Amazonian forests through responsible use of natural resources and sustainable local agreements. Its PIACI line contributes to protecting indigenous peoples in isolation and initial contact, ensuring respect for their self-determination and territories. The organization presents itself as working in coordination with diverse actors to strengthen community capacities. Its website highlights more than 40 years of work for the development of Amazonian peoples, and reports on Amazonian communities with communal property titles, communities trained and equipped with management tools, indigenous economy activities promoted, and millions of hectares protected. CEDIA is based in Peru and operates in the Amazon Basin. It is an indigenous rights organization, not a commercial company, and its brand identity is tied to its mission of territorial and cultural rights.
