Indigenous Peoples Assistance



ADB's Poverty Reduction Strategy [ PDF ] recognizes that IP have special social development needs such as special education curricula, self-managed health care, and other services. Part of the strategy includes investing in social support programs and a policy reform agenda that promotes equity and empowerment especially for women and disadvantaged groups. ADB extends technical assistance on IP capacity building and policy enhancement to developing member countries.
