The Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee (IPACC) is a network of 135 Indigenous peoples’ organisations in 21 African countries. It is a membership organisation. Any legitimate organisation composed of African indigenous peoples is welcome to apply for membership. Other associations working in development, human or Indigenous rights may apply for associate (non-voting) membership.
