Paragraph
Paragraph text
A second area of concern has to do with those development initiatives by States, often pursued with the backing of international actors, which are targeted specifically at indigenous peoples and their social and economic conditions. Many initiatives by States are aimed at the important objective of reducing the disadvantage that indigenous peoples experience in social and economic spheres. In his various reports assessing the human rights situations of indigenous peoples in various countries, the Special Rapporteur has provided specific details of examples of such Government policies and programmes that are targeted at key issues associated with indigenous peoples' development, including those related to indigenous health, education and poverty reduction.
