The ISFMI is led through a unique, not for profit, community, corporate and research partnership.
How we work.
Governance.
The ISFMI, an Australian Not-for-profit, is counter-party to the funding agreement with the Government of Australia.
The Initiative is convened in partnership with a consortium of organisations, with lead partners including the Kimberley Land Council, the University of Lisbon, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the Darwin Centre for Bushfire Research.
The Initiative works in collaboration with partner governments for the delivery of specific pilot Indigenous Fire Management implementation projects.
Respect for Indigenous peoples’ rights and interests as leaders of their own futures is at the forefront of the Initiative’s concerns. Projects are undertaken only in partnership with, and with the free, prior and informed consent of participating communities.
The Initiative is supported by the Australian Government, with additional in kind and other contributions.
