- category:
- Governance and Tripartism
- comments:
- The primary beneficiaries are indigenous men and women (communities, represented through seven representative indigenous organizations). Other users, or beneficiaries, are government at central and de-central levels, and other state actors, who meet with indigenous peoples in the space of the GTPI, and get valuable inputs for their development of policies, programmes and administrative practices.
ILO, UNDP, UNFPA and AECID participate as observers in the sessions, and get important input for their work through this participation.

- success:
- Over the course of its first year of operation, the GTPI has convened state actors from 10 different institutions, and presented its visions for aligning public policies and administrative practices with indigenous peoples rights. According to the GTPIs self-evaulation in late 2015, these dialogues have generated a relation of trust between indigenous peoples representative organizations and state actors, and a number of public institutions have subsequently established their own procedures for closer coordination with indigenous peoples.
- context:
- The Peruvian GTPI has been established in a context of growing recognition of indigenous peoples right to consultation and participation. A relative openness on behalf of government and state actors towards meeting with indigenous peoples, and listening to their concerns and aspirations, is a precondition for similar initiatives success.
- description:
- The establishment of the Working Group on Indigenous Policy (Grupo de Trabajo de Políticas Indígenas -GTPI) in Peru, represents a promising institutional development, with promising results so far. The group was established by a ministerial resolution in November 2014 (Resolución Ministerial N°403‐2014‐MC), and is considered a permanent space for tripartite dialogue between indigenous organizations, the Vice Ministry of Culture, and the state institutions with mandates that affect indigenous peoples.
Consultation and participation are considered the cornerstones of Convention No. 169 on indigenous and tribal peoples, and recent years have seen important developments towards a more institutionalized approach to Consultation, notably in Peru, with the adoption of the Law on Consultation in 2011 (Ley del Derecho a la Consulta Previa a los Pueblos Indígenas u Originarios). The emerging experiences with formal consultation processes under the law, however, have revealed a need for more open spaces of dialogue between indigenous peoples and state actors, and it was this realization that led to the initiative to establish the GTPI
- administrative_issues:
- ILO engagement in processes similar to the GTPI in Peru requires availability of specialized technical staff that has the capacity and time to engage with repeated dialogue processes, and support the transmission of messages from indigenous peoples to state actors.
