Addressee: OHCHR, ILO and UNDP.

Paragraph #39Session #9 (2010)

Full Text

The Permanent Forum encourages the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), ILO and UNDP to strengthen their collaborative framework and partnership for the promotion and implementation of indigenous peoples’ rights through joint country programmes aimed at building capacity and establishing mechanisms for consultation, participation and consent in accordance with ILO Convention C169 and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Responses

ILO reports (2011): The ILO, the OHCHR and UNDP established a joint initiative called United Nations Indigenous Peoples Partnership (UNIPP) in 2010. This inter-agency initiative will focus on joint programmes at the country level, with strategic interventions at regional and international levels. In the spirit of “Delivering as One”, UNIPP will be open to other UN Agencies, and UN Resident Coordinators will have a strategic role in providing support, leadership and ensuring coordination within the UN Country Teams as well as inclusion into CCA/UNDAFs. The three initiating agencies have also established a Multi-Donor Trust Fund to mobilise and manage resources, which will be used under the guidance of a Policy Board comprising among others indigenous experts in consultation with the UNPFII, EMRIP and the Special Rapporteur. UNIPP is expected to be fully operational early 2012.
