peoples, local communities and women.• This paragraph is a much watered-down version of the earlier draft (Feb.24, 2009) which says:FIP-supported programs should be designed with the full and effectiveparticipation and involvement of – and with respect for the rights ofindigenous peoples, family forest owners and local communities at thecountry level...”• It clearly states with “respect for the rights of indigenous peoples” whilethe July draft says “on matters that affect their distinctive rights.• It has stipulated that it will make available resources for indigenouspeoples to become active and informed players in national REDDprocesses, in general, and FIP processes in particular. The 2 July 2009draft of the design document 19 has a section X which is on “IndigenousPeoples and Local Communities Initiative.”Indigenous Peoples and LocalCommunities Initiative38. The full and effective, continuous participation of indigenous peoples andlocal communities in the design and implementation of FIP investmentstrategies is necessary. This participation will be highly dependent onstrengthening the capacity of these groups to play an informed andactive role in national REDD processes in general and FIP processes inparticular, as well as on recognizing and supporting their tenure rights,forest stewardship roles, and traditional forest management systems.A dedicated grant mechanism should be established under the FIP toprovide grants to indigenous peoples and local communities in countryor regional pilots to support their participation in the development of theFIP investment strategies, programs and projects. At the implementationstage grants to indigenous peoples and local communities should be anintegral component of each pilot.39. The scope of activities eligible for support from a dedicated grantmechanism for indigenous peoples and local communities (and theirdesignated support organizations) should include, inter alia, support forsecuring and strengthening customary land tenure and resource rightsand traditional forest management systems of indigenous peoples andlocal communities; support, including capacity building as required,for the development of pilot project proposals by indigenous peoplesand local communities and their implementation; and support for theinvolvement of indigenous peoples and local communities in monitoringand evaluation of forest activities, in conformity with relevant nationallaws and regulations.- Section X, Para 38 and 3970 <strong>Guide</strong> on Climate Change and Indigenous Peoples
• These 2 paragraphs mentioned the need to strengthen and securecustomary land tenure and resource rights of indigenous peoples.However, the last sentence of Paragraph 39, states “in conformity withrelevant laws and regulations” which can limit the rights referred to.• Many countries do not have national laws protecting indigenous peoplesrights. This is the reason why the need to respect international humanrights laws and instruments has to be included.• Four to 5 indigenous representatives from Africa, Asia and Latin Americahave participated as interim observers in the FIP design meetings heldso far. In the latest design draft, it stated that 2 indigenous peoplesrepresentatives will sit as observers in the FIP Sub-Committee to beselected in a self-selection process. There will be two alternates.Discussions are ongoing on how to conduct a self-selection process forindigenous representative.• A draft document “Forest Investment Program (FIP) Indigenous Peoplesand Local Communities Dedicated Initiative; Proposed steps towardsterms of reference for the development of the dedicated initiative,”dated 9 September 2009, is now circulated for comments (see Annex E).Indigenous peoples are urged to look at this to put in their commentsbefore it is finalized.c.What is UN-REDD PROGRAMME?• Also known as the UN Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissionsfrom Deforestation and Forest Degradation.• It is a joint programme of the UNDP,FAO and UNEP. It recently established itsSecretariat, based in Geneva, which worksas a compact interagency team.• Established in response to the BAP, the UN-REDD Programme received US$52 Millionfrom Norway as start up funds.
