The Declaration of Human Rights states that each person is entitled to fundamental rights, including the right to equality, and the right to life, liberty and security of the person. It also recognizes the right to freedom of religion and speech and the right to participate in the cultural life of the community. For Indigenous people around the world, the right to live and feed their families from their own land is paramount. IFAD is working with governments around the world to preserve that right. In Bolivia climate change has caused droughts and sudden torrential rain which can ruin crops. IFAD has funded irrigation and climate and crop knowledge programmes to help mitigate these shocks.
