Full Text

The Permanent Forum recommends that the organizations and bodies of the United Nations system and Member States organize a regional consultation with indigenous organizations and interested donors to develop a more coordinated, sustainable and longer-term programme in the region which has as its principal objective the strengthening of indigenous organizations so as to ensure that they have the technical capacity to engage with Governments and the international community on human rights.

Responses

The Project to Promote ILO Policy on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples has been undertaking a number of activities in the African region that respond directly to this recommendation. These activities include elements of longer-term projects or processes with specific objectives, outputs and results. A detailed description of these activities is provided in the document E/C.19/2007/3/Add.11
