ENDA is an association of research groups based both in Senegal and other Southern countries, which work on development and environment themes. It collaborates with grassroots groups in search of alternative development models on the basis of the experience, expectations and objectives of marginalised peoples.

This website on Indigenous Knowledge is maintained by NUFFIC. It offers announcements related to IK, a database of online resources, a monthly newsletter (Indigenous Knowledge WorldWide), and several best practice guides.

Based at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, PTRR aims to extend to indigenous peoples and local communities "knowledge of appropriate mechanisms for protecting the integrity of their knowledge and resources".
