The Permanent Forum acknowledges IFAD for the implementation of its policy on indigenous peoples and for selecting “Indigenous peoples’ food systems and sustainable livelihoods” as the theme of the second global meeting of the Indigenous Peoples’ Forum at IFAD. The Forum expects that IFAD will continue to strengthen its engagement with indigenous peoples in its future work by ensuring engagement at the country level through targeted programmes, capacity-building for indigenous peoples and project staff and the development of specific indicators on the well-being of indigenous peoples.
Responses
• IFAD reports that IFAD’s new Strategic Framework (SF) 2016-2025, approved by the Executive Board in December 2015, reaffirms IFAD's commitment to indigenous peoples’ self-driven development. Within the framework of the 2030 Agenda, IFAD will proactively support indigenous peoples, as part of its target group, in developing their skills and assets to benefit from emerging economic opportunities. • The Synthesis of Deliberations from the second global meeting of the Indigenous Peoples’ Forum at IFAD (2015) were delivered at the thirty-eighth session of the IFAD Governing Council, including a series of recommendations for IFAD’s future work. Some of these recommendations are already being taken forward and used in country programmes. The IFAD Governing Council also featured a panel on Indigenous Peoples and Sustainable Food Systems.
