Request for public comment on Draft Strategy to Engage Indigenous Peoples Peru/SAR

Thank you for your interest in USAID/Peru’s Draft Strategy on Engaging Indigenous Peoples which is now open for public comment. To gather feedback from Indigenous Peoples groups, the international development community, and the broader public, we are conducting this public comment period until close of business (5:00 pm Lima) on February 10, 2023.

This draft strategy seeks to identify specific elements of USAID’s Promoting the Rights of Indigenous People’s Policy into practice for Peru and particularly the Amazon biome. USAID seeks to promote the rights and self determination of indigenous communities while also protecting the Amazon and mitigating climate change.
