Welcome to Highlander Association in Ratanakiri
Highlander Association is an indigenous women-led organization based in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia, with the majority of its staff being indigenous. HA was established in early 1999 by the Indigenous Peoples Elder Group following extensive consultation with indigenous groups, national and international non-governmental organizations in the Province/Country.
Vision
Indigenous communities will gain rights and knowledge to participate in the management of their traditions, culture, customs, and identities, while strengthening ownership, solidarity, and justice.
Mission
The Highlanders Association, as a secretariat, provides technical support and capacity building to indigenous communities, empowering them to take ownership and lead in actively protecting their rights, especially the right to use and manage natural resources according to tradition and sustainability.
Goal
To ensure the respect of their fundamental rights, especially the right to use and manage natural resources, as well as their cultural identity and traditions, is recognized by the government and the community at large.
