PACOS Trust is a community-based organization dedicated to supporting indigenous communities in Sabah. Although registered under the Trustees Ordinance (Sabah) only in 1997, we have been actively involved with communities since 1987 as a different legal entity. PACOS is an acronym for “Partners of Community Organizations in Sabah”. The organization sees itself as an organization that strives to empower indigenous communities through systematic building and strengthening of community organizations, which can act collectively on its own. We also realized the need to support networking among organizations struggling to assert right over community resources and revitalizing indigenous systems which is what we are currently striving to do. This programme promotes communities’ rights to customary land (NCR) titles through training in systematic and appropriate documentation of indigenous settlement history. PACOS Trust acts as an advisor to communities that need help to raise awareness and enables them to reclaim their customary land.
