In late 2016, regional consultation workshops in preparation for the Indigenous Peoples’ Forum were held in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific, attended by 97 representatives of indigenous peoples’ organizations and institutions.

During the workshops, participants assessed the progress of implementation of the IFAD Policy on Engagement with Indigenous Peoples and reviewed the status of implementation of the recommendations of the second global meeting and the regional action plans agreed upon with IFAD regional divisions in 2015.

Participants further had the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on good practices on indigenous peoples’ economic empowerment that build on their distinctive cultures, traditional knowledge and natural resources.
