Core offering

Centro de Trabalho Indigenista (CTI) is a nonprofit civil society organization that delivers technical assistance, legal support, environmental management, capacity building, and advocacy on behalf of indigenous communities in Brazil. Its work spans territorial defense, land demarcation, sustainable fisheries and lake management, cultural affirmation, and political formation across multiple indigenous peoples and biomes.

Product overview

CTI operates as a non-profit indigenous advocacy organization with a portfolio of programs and strategic actions rather than a unified technology product. Its core offerings include three regional programs (Guarani, Javari, and Timbira) serving specific indigenous communities, complemented by six strategic actions addressing particular peoples and issues (Mura, Sateré-Mawé, Terena, Xavante, MOPIC, and Isolated Indigenous Peoples). Supporting these programs, CTI maintains a Digital Library (Biblioteca Digital CTI) containing archives and publications, publishes the bimonthly Boletim Corredor Yavarí-Tapiche bulletin, and offers the Teclado Indígena tool for indigenous language writing. The organization does not offer a technology platform or SaaS product.
