Socio-Cultural Assessment and Mapping for Indigenous Peoples and IIRSA

closed

The general objective of this technical cooperation is to support the socio-culturally appropriate design of IIRSA infrastructure projects that overlap areas inhabited by indigenous peoples in order to ensure that: (i) indigenous peoples rights and well-being is safeguarded, and (ii) when possible, promote indigenous peoples' development with identity by facilitating greater access to services and markets as well as the free movement and integration of transborder indigenous peoples. The TC will finance the development of a GIS mapping of indigenous peoples, territories, issues, and opportunities, as well as a report that presents a proposed methodology for socio-cultural assessment, impact mitigation and development opportunities for indigenous peoples potentially impacted by IIRSA projects.
