The right of indigenous peoples to development with culture and identity, the right of indigenous peoples to participation and the obligation of States to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2010, para. 33
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Beyond increasing indigenous peoples' educational opportunities in general, States and the international community play an important role in the promotion, training and capacity-building necessary to allow indigenous peoples to adequately understand, design and implement development activities within or affecting their communities, including in relation to large-scale natural resource extraction and infrastructure projects. While many development projects in various countries include programmes for some training and employment opportunities for affected indigenous communities, in most cases this training does not envision indigenous people as potential engineers, business administrators, environmental analysts, lawyers or other professionals with the skills necessary for the execution of the projects at the managerial level. Ensuring professional training for indigenous peoples that allows their full involvement in the design and delivery of development-related activities should be part of any vision for development as it concerns them.
