The Permanent Forum recommends that the World Bank strengthen platforms for dialogue with Indigenous Peoples at all levels to create strategic opportunities that will give a voice to Indigenous Peoples’ priorities and concerns. The Forum further calls upon the World Bank to enhance and expand direct financing mechanisms for Indigenous Peoples, specifically linking these to national programmes, policy dialogue, and investments for sustainability in all ecosystems.
The Permanent Forum invites the Development Coordination Office to include Forum members in its future meetings with resident coordinators for Indigenous Peoples’ issues to be heard and to share experiences on the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples at the national level.
