A Global Platform for Maluku Islands Resilience
Linking global accountability with indigenous leadership to strengthen island livelihoods, ecosystems, and governance.
This initiative is centered on Indigenous Peoples and Customary Communities (masyarakat adat) as collective rights-holders, decision-makers, and stewards of land and sea.
Our Mission
Leadership & Ethical Responsibility
The Platform
We work with island communities in the Maluku Islands to strengthen long-term resilience by supporting locally governed livelihoods, ecosystem restoration, and stewardship rooted in adat governance and reciprocity.

GRF Tahuri operates as a bridging platform between the Global Reciprocity

Leadership & Ethical Responsibility
Leadership & Ethical Responsibility
Leadership & Ethical Responsibility
GRF Tahuri carries responsibility for how global capital, partnerships, and knowledge engage with local communities.
We act as conveners and stewards, ensuring Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), transparency, and alignment with local governance frameworks, while safeguarding community autonomy and data sovereignty.
The Framework
Leadership & Ethical Responsibility
Leadership & Ethical Responsibility
Our work is structured through the Maluku Green and Blue Economy Master Plan (2026–2034), a long-term institutional framework co-developed with local adat leaders, communities, and strategic partners.
The framework defines governance, ownership, and how community-based economic activities are structured and supported over time.
Community-o
Our work is structured through the Maluku Green and Blue Economy Master Plan (2026–2034), a long-term institutional framework co-developed with local adat leaders, communities, and strategic partners.
The framework defines governance, ownership, and how community-based economic activities are structured and supported over time.
Community-owned enterprises (BUMDes) remain fully owned and managed by villages. To ensure viability beyond the village level, products are supported through shared market aggregation, ethical branding, and buyer partnerships facilitated by Tahuri Nusa and the Global Reciprocity Foundation. This approach protects community ownership while reducing market risk and dependence on intermediaries.
Prototype Approach
Initial prototype activities are designed as learning phases, implemented with full Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), and alignment with relevant local government frameworks, before any scale-up is considered.
We do not arrive with ready-made projects.
Each village defines its own priorities, assets, and capacities first. Programmes are then co-designed together, based on what communities already have and what they choose to strengthen.
Rooted in indigenous knowledge and long-term stewardship, we work alongside island communities in Maluku as equal partners to restore ecosystems and strengthen locally owned livelihoods.
Resilience emerges where people, culture, and ecosystems are stewarded together.
Grounded in Maluku. Connected Globally
