Full Text
The Permanent Forum recommends that UNICEF allocate at least one fellowship to an indigenous young person from each region every year for a term of at least three months, to empower indigenous youth and promote knowledge and experience regarding the United Nations system and the work of the Fund, and including financial support.
Responses
UNICEF is currently exploring the possibility of developing a fellowship for young indigenous people, the implementation of which will be subject to the availability of financial resources. The agency is also arranging for its Division of Human Resources to brief interested members of the Indigenous Youth Caucus regarding the different employment options at UNICEF and the UN as a whole, during a separate meeting at the 11th session of the Forum.
