description:

Specialized programme staff is needed at both global, regional and national levels to secure continued promotion and technical advice around the Conventions on indigenous peoples’ rights: indigenous peoples do not have their own representation in the ILO tripartite structure. Furthermore, Conventions No. 107 and 169 are not part of the body of core Conventions, wherefore there is a constant risk that their promotion slides down the priority agenda in country and regional offices if no specialized programme staff is in place. For these reasons, there is a strong need for specialized programme staff to render visibility to these Conventions, and engage in public liaison and technical dialogue when needed. Indigenous peoples also find it very important to have their own entry point to the ILO structure through specialized programme staff, given the fact that their cooperation with Workers, as an ILO Constituent, is in most cases not very well established. The lack of institutionalization of this expertise at the national level is therefore a weakness in the long run.
