Title: Brazil - Rural Sustainable Development Project in the Semi-arid Region of Bahia (Pro-Semiárido) April 2016
Description: Ines Terodoro dos Santos, 17, center with her daughters, Eliara, 14-months, top, and Isabel, 3-years-old, bottom, her husband, Edmeilson Jesus dos Santos, 20, left, and his farther, Daniel Silverio dos Santos, 63, right, in garden at home, in Aldeia Segredo Velho, near Ribeira do Pombal, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, on Wednesday, April 13, 2016.

After years of fighting for their rights, the Kiriri indigenous people took back their land in 1995. This was a very important milestone in their long-term struggle for keeping themselves together as a people with a different cultural identity, with their own ancestral knowledge and traditions. The IFAD-funded Rural Sustainable Development Project in the Semi-arid Region of Bahia (Pro-Semiárido) has been working together with the Kiriri people to allow them to use their traditional knowledge and traditions as a foundation upon which to build their livelihoods.
