Update on IDB indigenous peoples policy | Bank Information Center: Monitoring the projects and policies of the World Bank, IMF and other international financial institutions


Update Update on IDB indigenous peoples policy 8 March 2004 Indigenous Peoples Policy Profile mentions many of the key points indigenous peoples have been asking for. by Melina Selverston Scher, Bank Information Center Since the February 2004 IDB/civil society meeting in Jamaica, BIC has been able to see the IDB Indigenous Peoples' Policy Profile. This policy profile is expected to go to the policy committee of the Board of Directors on March 11, after which it would proceed to about ten months of public consultation. This assumes no major hold-ups from the Directors, which may be overly optimistic. The substance of the policy profile is very interesting. It mentions many of the key points indigenous peoples have been asking for including: prior and informed consent self-identification support for land security issues (demarcation and titling) consistency with national and international legal frameworks about indigenous peoples respect for customary law protection of uncontacted peoples More information will follow in the coming months.
