The Permanent Forum recommends that member States and relevant United Nations agencies place employment, decent work, social protection and recognition of traditional occupations and livelihoods of indigenous peoples, including pastoralism, on the post-2015 development agenda. A focus on indigenous peoples’ access to decent work, livelihoods and social protection is of utmost importance in this context. It will provide the opportunity to work globally towards building the enabling conditions for capturing the opportunities of sustainable development for pastoralists.

Addressee: UNDP
Paragraph Number: 36
Session: 9 (2010)
Full Text:
The Permanent Forum recommends that UNDP further engage indigenous peoples in the discussion regarding the concept of human development and in the elaboration of its Human Development Reports. The UNDP concept of human development and its work to promote such a paradigm should be more strongly founded on human rights principles and therefore on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. With regard to indigenous peoples, this means recognizing the principles of self-determination, independent development and other peoples’ rights. Thus, national, regional and global UNDP Human Development Reports should reflect indigenous peoples’ views of development from the perspective and with the participation of indigenous peoples themselves.
