Book (stand-alone)FAO regional strategy for collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean
Revised edition
2022Also available in:
Historically, FAO has engaged in various collaborative efforts with Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent at the global level, which have been strengthened through mutual understanding and respect. These groups are key actors in the fight against poverty and hunger, and the Organization recognizes their valuable contributions to the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In Latin America and the Caribbean, nearly half of the rural population is comprised of Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent. They face major challenges and there have been serious violations of their collective and individual rights, while their ancestral knowledge and practices are crucial for the sustainable development of the region. These issues have led to the formulation of the "FAO regional strategy for collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and People of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean" the result of a long process of exchanges and consultation with their leaders and organizations at the local, national and regional levels, carried out almost entirely against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic since the beginning of 2020. The regional strategy is a useful tool to guide the collaborative actions in the region between FAO, the governments and Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent, with the aim of achieving more inclusive, efficient, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems. -

A successful process of dialogue and co-decision-making with and for Panama’s indigenous peoples
2020Also available in:
The Panama Country Office of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has promoted several initiatives with and for the country's indigenous peoples. These initiatives, thanks to their scaling-up and coordination, have given shape to FAO’s Indigenous Agenda in the country, helping to develop the economic basis of the Comprehensive Development Plan for the Indigenous Peoples of Panama. In this context, FAO is executing a project to support 19 communities belonging to six of the seven existing indigenous peoples in the country, which is financed by the Ministry of Government (MINGOB), with the support of the Ministry of Agricultural Development (MIDA) and the participation of the 12 indigenous congresses and councils. This initiative aims to improve food security and reduce poverty in the participating communities, with a focus on cultural and environmental sustainability. To ensure the successful implementation of the project, an inclusive and participatory consultation process, with respectful dialogue, has been developed from its inception based on the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). It is this process and its results that are described in this document, in order to share the lessons learned and promote its replication.
