Addressee: IFAD

Paragraph #166Session #5 (2006)

Full Text

The Permanent Forum supports the willingness of IFAD to consider continuing to operate the World Bank’s Grants Facility for Indigenous Peoples. It recommends that IFAD make every effort to substantially enhance this Facility through its own grant funding mechanism as well as through seeking the contributions of other international financial institutions as well as bilateral and multilateral donors.

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.
