Indigenous peoples, numbering more than 350 million worldwide, are among the most disadvantaged populations, representing roughly 4.5 percent of the global population but more than 10 percent of the poor. CDD programs are generally used to target the poorest and most marginalized populations in countries, and several CDD projects have prioritized indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities who are normally excluded from development.
This seminar brings together four TTLs to discuss their experiences in targeting and including IPs and/or ethnic minorities in CDD projects in the Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and South Asia regions. They will discuss concrete operational issues and challenges faced in the design and implementation of their programs and explain how they were dealt with.

Maninder Gill, Director, Social Development, GSURR
