Arctic Athabaskan Council

Published purpose

This project will support the Arctic Athabaskan Council to strengthen its organizational capacity and enhance its role as a key international representative of Athabaskan peoples. The project focuses on three priority areas: strengthening governance and organizational capacity through improved staffing, financial management, and the development of a new five-year Strategic Plan (2026–2031); increasing international engagement and diplomacy by supporting the Arctic Athabaskan Council's participation in major Arctic and global forums; and strengthening and realigning the Arctic Athabaskan Council's membership in line with the original Treaty intent. These efforts will position the Arctic Athabaskan Council to more effectively fulfill its mandate, support its Board of Directors, and advance Athabaskan environmental and political interests at the international level.
