Proposed process<br />
Proposed definition of indigenous people<br />
• Property and user rights (often non-formal) and/or<br />
close attachment to and dependence (social/<br />
economic) on land and natural resources<br />
• self-identification as members of a distinct cultural<br />
group (culture, language, social and political<br />
institutions)<br />
• Marginalization in the legal, social, political and<br />
economic domain<br />
• Question 1:<br />
• It has been suggested that <strong>IP</strong>s and local<br />
communities should be - following the logic of the<br />
CBD - addressed in one policy? Do you agree or<br />
would you recommend a specific policy for<br />
indigenous people?<br />
Proposed elements of the policy<br />
1. Why does <strong>GTZ</strong> strive to cooperate with <strong>IP</strong> even<br />
more than with other populations?<br />
Poverty reduction, good governance, CBD, CCD<br />
2. Who is addressed in this policy?<br />
Definition of indigenous people see above<br />
3. What is the German aim in this cooperation?<br />
Assist <strong>IP</strong> in getting, defending and using their rights<br />

Binding for <strong>GTZ</strong> and all projects receiving <strong>GTZ</strong><br />
support; guideline for German private sector<br />
Proposed elements of the policy<br />
5. What is the guiding principle of this cooperation?<br />
Well and prior informed consent on all interventions,<br />

knowledge, access and benefit sharing?<br />
I hope to get an idea on this topic during the<br />
conference.<br />
10. How does <strong>GTZ</strong> guarantee the quality of its<br />
performance?<br />
Publication of all documents, regular fora for<br />
discussion and mutual learning, funds and<br />
capacity building for <strong>IP</strong>-organizations to<br />
supervise activities.<br />

accountability?<br />

Possible areas of specific assistance<br />

3. Land use mapping, demarcation of territories<br />
4. Capacity building in „modern“ natural resource<br />
management/ translation of indigenous practices<br />
and land use knowledge into „modern“ concepts =<br />
management plans, business plans (access and<br />
benefit sharing)<br />
5. Dual education<br />
6. Organizational development at community level
