This study documents the organizational development of Culture Identity and Resources Use Management (CIRUM), its evolving strategies to achieve its mission, its method of working at the grassroots, its lobbying and advocacy style, including the establishment and facilitation of the Forest Peoples Land Rights Network (LandNet), and how it has established its legitimacy and accountability.

The study will also compare the present situation of the organization with an organizational capacity assessment made in 2009 and with a 2012 study of the NGO sector in Vietnam.

Finally the study will ask questions about the impact of CARE’s CASI programme, and make recommendations for CIRUM, CARE and INGOs in general about future programming in the area of ethnic minority land rights and gender programming.
