Indigenous Capacity Building

The SRSS exists to serve two main goals:

1. Collaboration between Secwepemc communities to restore the land, and 
2. Build in-community capacity to undertake the restoration work throughout Secwepemcúl’ecw.

Collaboration between Secwépemc communities to go after funding opportunities increases the ability of SRSS member communities to gain funding to do ecosystem restoration work.

Secwépemc communities cooperatively lead and implement the actual restoration work and monitoring that comprise SRSS projects. By accessing funding to do restoration work across Secwepemcúl’ecw, the SRSS creates jobs in member communities and increases the capacity of these communities to do restoration work through training and on-the job skills-building.
