Full Text
The Forum, recognizing the contributions of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in reducing rural poverty and its experience of good practices, recommends that IFAD consider operational guidelines on indigenous peoples and a framework tool for advocacy for promoting indigenous rights and development and achieving internaitonal development goals which emerged from international conferences, summits and conventions which are relevant for indigenous peoples
Responses
IFAD is currently reflecting on how to initiate a process that would lead to the adoption by the Executive Board of principles of engagement on indigenous issues for use in IFAD operations. Also under consideration are approaches to internalizing the advocacy framework that was prepared with the assistance of the Secretariat of the Permanent Forum and the experiences gained by IFAD in the field and through cooperation with partners at the internatioanl level.
