The Permanent Forum recommends that UNDP and other United Nations agencies establish a special programme for indigenous professionals that will serve as an entry point inclusion of these professionals as UNDP staff. This will significantly enrich diversity in human development views and knowledge within the organization.
Responses
OHCHR’s indigenous fellowship programme aims at building capacity and expertise at national level. In addition to fellowship programmes in English, French, Spanish and Russian, OHCHR has introduced the position of a Senior Indigenous Fellow as part of its efforts to restructure and improve the programme. The first Senior Fellow joined OHCHR in May 2011 and contributed actively to the work of the Indigenous Peoples and Minority Section for a period of three months.
