Welcome to the United Nations
Addressee: UNDP
Full Text
The Permanent Forum commends the establishment and achievements of the Regional Indigenous Peoples’ Programme of UNDP in Asia, and calls on UNDP to ensure that the funding of that programme will be increased and that similar programmes will be set up in other regions.
Responses
There has been no information submitted from UNDP regarding an increase in funding for the Regional Indigenous Peoples’ Programme of UNDP in Asia. With regard to the recommendation of the Permanent Forum to set up a regional programme in other regions similar to the UNDP Regional Initiative on Indigenous Peoples’ Rights and Development in Asia and the Pacific, further analysis will be necessary under the framework of the new regional cooperation framework in Latin America and the Caribbean and in connection with the United Nations Development Group Task Team on Indigenous Issues draft workplan. In some regions, initiating and strengthening national initiatives with indigenous peoples at the country level may prove more strategic than undertaking regional actions.
