The Permanent Forum recommends that UNDP utilize the expertise of Permanent Forum members by keeping them informed of programmes and projects involving indigenous peoples within their areas of responsibility and obtaining their input and involvement on proposed projects and subsequent implementation.
In order to enhance its capacity, first-hand understanding and leadership in the area of indigenous peoples’ issues, the Permanent Forum strongly recommends that UNDP establish training programmes similar to the Leadership Development Programme and junior professional programmes focused on attracting indigenous professionals or incorporate an indigenous component in existing programmes.
