Categories: Latin America, Colombia, Citizen Media, Development, Indigenous

1) the protection of indigenous territory;
2) indigenous self-government;
3) the self-development of indigenous communities on the basis of equilibrium and harmony;
4) free, prior and informed consent as a condition for developments on indigenous land; and
5) the ‘institutional redesign’ of the state in its relations with indigenous peoples.

Colombian indigenous organizations have presented five new development goals in response to the Millennium Declaration. [1] Read more about these goals in a post by Robin Llewellyn at Intercontinental Cry. [2]
