PDF File Size: 142 KB | Download   
Since its inception in 1978, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has been supporting indigenous peoples living in remote rural areas through its loans and grants, as part of its mandate to reduce poverty. During the first decades, however, indigenous peoples were not targeted as such, but considered as part of the rural poor. Time and experience on the ground provided IFAD with the knowledge and deeper understanding of indigenous peoples’ issues. Overall, in its experience on the ground, the Fund has learned that development strategies with indigenous peoples need to be guided by a holistic vision that includes economic growth, empowerment, sustainable management of natural resources, and recognition and protection of social, economic and cultural rights.
