The Permanent Forum recognizes the need to establish a dialogue with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on the reflection of indigenous issues in policies related to official development assistance (ODA).
The Permanent Forum expresses appreciation to Mr. Parshuram Tamang and Mr. Yuri Boichenko for their draft questionnaire for United Nations agencies and requests the secretariat of the Permanent Forum to use the questionnaire in seeking information from agencies for its future sessions. The Permanent Forum also supports requests from States that they receive a similar questionnaire and requests the secretariat to carry through this request, in consultation with members of the Permanent Forum.
