Full Text
The Permanent Forum recommends that the International Labour Organization (ILO) continue to work with the Forum, United Nations agencies, financial institutions, bilateral donors and other interested parties to further the inclusion of indigenous peoples’ rights in high-level development policies and poverty reduction strategy papers, such as by raising indigenous peoples’ issues with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and its related Development Assistance Committee.
Responses
ILO reports: The ILO continues to work for the inclusion of indigenous peoples’ rights in PRSPs, particularly in the context of national-level projects and through training and capacity-building of partner organisations, donor and UN agency staff. Particularly, national-level projects in Cameroon, Cambodia, Nepal and, more recently, Bangladesh are aimed at having indigenous peoples’ rights and needs reflected in national policies to eliminate poverty.
