The framework for the Northwest Territories Project for Finance Permanence (NWT PFP) is a groundbreaking agreement that was signed in October 2023 between Indigenous Governments, the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and private philanthropies. The framework outlines terms and expected outcomes of an initiative that will fund the protection of lands, support thriving cultures, and foster economic diversification.

The NWT PFP brings together representatives from Indigenous Governments, the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and private philanthropies in an effort to support Indigenous-led conservation and stewardship. Partners agree the NWT PFP will protect lands, transform lives—including through increased Guardians programs, land-based language and culture programs—and generate economic development opportunities.
