Research Dissemination Workshop: "Indigenous Peoples, Poverty and Development"

Trabalho oficial cumprido, trabalho de casa terminado. Deixo, então, tudo o que foi sendo recolhido ao longo do 'Research Dissemination Workshop' organizado pelo Banco Mundial – Indigenous Peoples, Poverty and Development – que ontem decorreu em Washington e a que o Conexão já aqui havia feito menção.
Chamo a atenção para um detalhe interessante, que pode passar despercebido no conjunto dos materiais aqui deixados: os vídeos do evento. Estão disponíveis na íntegra, pelo que é possível assistir ao que foi dito pelos diversos 'speakers' intervenientes em cada uma das 5 sessões incluídas no Programa. Idem para a sessão inaugural e o debate final.   



Indigenous Peoples worldwide continue to be among the poorest of the poor and continue to suffer from higher poverty, lower education, and a greater incidence of disease and discrimination than other groups. This is the main finding of the study Indigenous Peoples, Poverty, and Development supported by The Trust Fund for Environmentally & Socially Sustainable Development (TFESSD). The study offers a "global snapshot" of a set of indicators for Indigenous Peoples vis-à-vis national demographic averages. It also considers in detail how social conditions have evolved in seven countries around the world (Central African Republic, China, Congo, Gabon, India, Laos and Vietnam) during 2005-2010, the first half of the UN's Second International Decade of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. The report attempts to systematically document poverty for Indigenous Peoples outside of the Americas, New Zealand and Australia. The most encouraging news from the study is that some countries are making progress in poverty reduction for Indigenous Peoples. We now know that poverty rates have declined substantially among Indigenous Peoples in Asia.
To disseminate the main findings of the above report this workshop brought together the authors of the various studies to share their findings and engage in a dialogue with researchers and Bank staff about how to operationalize the findings. The event also brought together researchers studying Indigenous Peoples' issues in other parts of the world and involved in innovative projects. In addition, the event included a policy discussion with representatives of other multilateral organizations.
