Rights of indigenous peoples, including their economic, social and cultural rights in the post-2015 development framework 2014, para. 48
- Paragraph text
- The existence of relevant information is a vital precondition for devising adequate policy responses for addressing inequalities and for monitoring the effectiveness of measures to overcome discrimination, both within and between countries, as well as for identifying additional gender-based discrimination. In this context, the Special Rapporteur commends the efforts of the Economic Commission on Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) to "democratize information". With the support of a number of United Nations agencies, donor agencies and private funders, the Commission has established a comprehensive database, which provides sociodemographic data on indigenous peoples and Afro-descendants in the region, including data disaggregated by sex and age, as well as data on internal migration, health, youth and the territorial distribution of inequalities. The basis of much of this impressive work is the inclusion by most countries in Latin America of an "indigenous identifier" into their 2000 census round, thus building data through the self-identification of individuals as being a member of an indigenous community.
