The Permanent Forum recommends that States, in order to combat the adverse effects of migration, cooperate with indigenous peoples to provide employment and economic development opportunities within their territories.
Responses
In Bolivia, work has started on a project entitled “Training and leadership for young Guaraníes in the production process in 30 Guaraní communities of the community land of origin of North Charagua”. The beneficiaries will be indigenous youth aged 18 to 25 excluded from the formal education system and who work in agriculture in their own community. The project consists of specialized training for these young people in the specific field they are already working in so that after completing the training period, and with the supplies they will be given, they will have skills that will enable them to undertake their own production, ensuring the self-sufficiency of their entire family and generating income.
