The program “Strategic Framework to Develop a Regional Agenda for Protection of Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact” is a non-reimbursable technical cooperation between the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the ACTO. The initiative aims to create effective policies and actions agreed between the governments, civil society and indigenous peoples.
The first phase of this Program concluded and resulted in the development of two instruments: The Guidelines for Health Care of the IPVI&IC and Guidelines for the IPVI&IC Protection. This documents are inputs for public policies and other national processes for the construction of legal tools in the Member Countries, creating and consolidating specialized sectors for the Protection of the IPVI&IC Rights in most Member Countries.
The principles and Guidelines were developed to orientate the implementation of the respective national action plans with territorial protection measures including legal protection and physical control of external interventions in the territories inhabited by these Peoples surrounding areas.
The implementation of this first phase proved to be an enriching experience for the institutions and agents linked to the issues of Peoples, which in most cases live and move within Amazonian border areas, in far and isolated from modern society corners. This exercise became a space to discuss the situation of PIACI and opened possibilities and opportunities for regional and transboundarycooperation on the topic.
Thus, it was decided that in a new Project proposal the attention to most vulnerable indigenous people which are mostly located in border areas should be taken into consideration and in turn, taking into account the Art. 32 of the Convention 169 of ILO on “Contacts and cooperation across border”.
The second phase of the Program entitled Indigenous Peoples in border regions of the ACTO is currently in progress.
