Indigenous peoples in development cooperation
The Guidelines for Norway’s Efforts to Strengthen Support for Indigenous Peoples in Development Cooperation, published in 2004, set out the guiding principles for Norway’s support to indigenous peoples.
The Guidelines emphasise the need to ensure that there is a clear connection between normative work on indigenous issues and practical cooperation with and on behalf of indigenous peoples. One of the aims of Norwegian development cooperation is to increase the focus on indigenous peoples, while taking an integrated approach to cooperation on indigenous issues. This will require closer coordination between the various types of Norwegian activities in the area.
