Dear Friends and Colleagues,
After reviewing the internal draft revised safeguard policies of the World Bank including the IP Policy ( leaked copy), it is very alarming that while it contains the provision on FPIC, its is practically useless as borrowing countries can opt out not to implement the policy at all. Likewise, the FPIC provisions need to be strengthened as well as the legal recognition on the rights to land, territories and resources of indigenous peoples.
Attached is the statement prepared jointly by AIPP— Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact and the FPP— Forest Peoples Programme containing our serious concerns on the draft IP Policy and related safeguards.
It is important for indigenous organisations and advocates to register immediately our position for the consideration of the Committee on Aid Effectiveness (CODE) for the review of the draft prior to the second round of public consultations.
The CODE will meet on July 30 ( wed) so we need to send this statement by July 29.
I thereby request your respective organisation to sign on to this statement as well as to circulate it to your networks for broader support.
Please send the name of your organisation by July 29 at the latest to Robie Halip of AIPP: ro...@aippnet.org and Helen of FPP: he...@forestpeoples.org
Thanks again for your continuing cooperation and support!
Respectfully,
Joan Carling
Secretary General
Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP)
