Paragraph Number: 43
Session: 6 (2007)
Full Text:

The Permanent Forum reiterates its concern that reports developed and presented by many States on the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals and poverty reduction strategy papers still do not adequately include and address indigenous peoples nor do they include their participation, and therefore calls on States to rectify this weakness and on United Nations agencies to support their efforts. While the Millennium Development Goals provide an important international framework for addressing extreme poverty and health and social outcomes, the Permanent Forum recommends that it is vital that further work be undertaken to ensure that the related programmes reflect full appreciation and respect for the rights and aspirations of indigenous peoples. This work should utilize the results of the workshops on indicators.
