The Permanent Forum welcomes the initiative of the World Bank in compiling and analysing disaggregated data on indigenous peoples, poverty and human development in South-East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, and urges the World Bank to present the results of those studies to the seventh session of the Permanent Forum in 2008.
The Forum, taking into account the importance and potential of regional inter-governmental organizations in promoting indigenous issues in their respective regions, invites those organizations to contribute annually to its work.
