Paragraph
Paragraph text
Among the gains achieved after the Declaration came into being is the adoption of policies and guidelines on indigenous peoples by several agencies, programmes and funds and other intergovernmental bodies. In 2008, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) adopted its “Policy guide to housing of indigenous peoples in cities”. The United Nations Development Group adopted its “Guidelines on indigenous issues” in 2009, the same year as the International Fund for Agricultural Development adopted its policy of engagement with indigenous peoples. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations followed suit and adopted its policy on indigenous and tribal peoples in 2010. The United Nations Environment Programme finalized its “Policy guidelines on indigenous peoples” in 2012.
