High-quality public infrastructure is critical to the health and sustainability of Indigenous communities. The First Nations Infrastructure Institute (FNII) is an Indigenous-led initiative that will support Indigenous communities to plan, procure, own and manage their infrastructure assets on their lands.<\/p>\n

FNII will work with participating First Nations and\/or Indigenous organizations to establish a project team, build capacity and get projects delivered.<\/p>\n

Some communities and organizations may want a lot of support and some may need very little. The FNII approach is flexible to adapt to existing community capacity.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure projects that meet FNII standards will send a message to members, lenders, funders and partners that due diligence on a project meets best practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>
