يستعرض هذا التقييم أداء الشركاء الإقليميين ويوثق نتائج المشاريع الممولة من مرفق مساعدة الشعوب الأصلية (IPAF) بين عامي 2018 و 2021.

This publication shares good practices for engagement with indigenous peoples as described in IFAD's investment projects as well as in the small projects financed through the Indigenous Peoples’ Assistance Facility (IPAF).

Indigenous and tribal peoples and ethnic minorities are disproportionately represented among the rural poor. Many of the poorest communities of indigenous peoples are difficult to reach through mainstream development programmes.

في العام 2017، كلف الصندوق بتقييم دورة مرفق مساعدة الشعوب الأصلية الرابعة بهدف استعراض وتحليل أداء الشركاء الإقليميين في تنفيذ المرفق والنتائج المحققة في تنفيذ المشروعات التي مولها البرنامج بين عامي 2015 و 2018

Las organizaciones indígenas parte del IPAF han identificado los resultados más relevantes de sus proyectos.

The Indigenous Peoples Assistance Facility (IPAF)1 finances small projects designed and implemented directly by indigenous peoples’ communities and their organizations. The projects are selected through global calls for proposals, based on a competitive process. In managing the IPAF when it was established in 2007, IFAD realized that the Facility was not only a grant-making mechanism, but it also contained a wealth of knowledge derived from the project proposals themselves. With its limited funding, the IPAF can support only a small number of these proposals. Thus, a knowledge-harvesting mechanism was set up with funding from the Initiative for Mainstreaming Innovation (IMI). 

Since IFAD began operations in 1978, it has supported, as part of its mandate to reduce poverty, many rural development programmes in which indigenous peoples have played an important role as stakeholders.
