Abstract

As indigenous autonomy processes move forward or encounter obstacles, careful documentation and analysis is important for understanding practical implementation and also for the negotiation of appropriate public policies, national laws and non-governmental organizations (NGO) support strategies. This project was designed with two objectives: to conduct, disseminate and produce policy relevant and academic research on indigenous autonomy in Bolivia; and to develop viable and sustainable methodologies for action-research and NGO-academic collaboration with the NGO FundaciĆ³n Tierra. This paper provides a detailed report on research findings, project outputs, outcomes, conference activities and collaborations.
