The Permanent Forum notes the progress made in including indigenous peoples in several of the newly developed United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks developed in 2020 and the COVID-19 socioeconomic response plans. However, the Forum also notes the uneven inclusion of indigenous peoples in United Nations country programming consultations and development, and the lack of disaggregated data, which perpetuates their invisibility. The Forum reiterates that indigenous peoples should participate in the preparation of common country assessments as well as the Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks and that United Nations country teams should work with Governments to foster effective consultation with indigenous peoples.
UNICEF: supports the participation of children and youth in SDG implementation, follow-up and review processes at the national level. This includes the facilitation of consultations in Government’s Voluntary National Review (VNRs) processes.
WIPO: renewing the Committee’s mandate to improve effective participation of indigenous peoples and local communities in the IGC.
