Ogiek Peoples' Development Program (OPDP) is a Kenya based NGO founded in 1999 and registered in 2001. It was formed by typical Ogiek elders, opinion leaders, farmers and professionals after long historical land injustices that deprived the Ogiek community of their rights as Kenyan citizens.
OPDP’s work is centred on promoting the recognition and identity of Indigenous Peoples' culture, their participation and inclusion in all sectors of development, championing for land rights, ensuring environmental protection, and overall sustainable development of IPs in Kenya and across Africa.
