Fifth Global Meeting of the Indigenous Peoples' Forum at IFAD - events

About the event
The fifth global meeting of the Indigenous Peoples' Forum at IFAD taking place on 2, 3, 4 and 15 February 2021, will focus on the value of indigenous food systems: resilience in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Forum is a platform for meaningful dialogue where Indigenous Peoples’ representatives convey their concerns, requests and recommendations to improve the partnership with IFAD and the effectiveness of its engagement with Indigenous Peoples.
Side events and the Indigenous Peoples’ virtual film festival will take place during Indigenous Week from 8 to 12 February.
The main outputs of the fifth global meeting of the Indigenous Peoples' Forum at IFAD are:
- Synthesis of deliberations that will be presented to the Governing Council
- Regional action plans emerging from the parallel regional sessions
- IFAD Management response to the synthesis of deliberations
Indigenous Peoples Awards
The IFAD Indigenous Peoples Awards recognize the efforts and achievements of development projects that successfully engage with Indigenous Peoples living in rural areas. The Awards help promote best practices, share knowledge and identify opportunities to replicate and scale-up results.
The nominations fall into three categories: best performing IFAD-funded project, best performing IPAF-funded project and best performing non-IFAD-funded project. The winners, selected by Forum Steering Committee members, will be announced on 15 February.
