Addressee: IADB, IFAD, World Bank
Full Text
The Permanent Forum congratulates IFAD for the work undertaken in India on disaggregating the human development index and associated development indicators for indigenous and non-indigenous peoples. It further recommends that the Fund, in collaboration with the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and other appropriate organizations, undertake similar work in any developing country where existing data allow for estimates of disaggregated development indicators.
Responses
IFAD reports that In 2007, in addition to its operational and advocacy work, the Fund will
concentrate its efforts on developing the IFAD principles of engagement with
indigenous peoples and to operate and mobilize resources for the newly established Indigenous Peoples Assistance Facility, which was successfully transferred by the World Bank in September 2006. However, possibilities of replicating, along with partners, the work undertaken in India on data disaggregation will be explored.
