    The "Estrategia de Participación de Pueblos Indígenas" draft, developed by USAID/Perú and Equitable Origin, aims to empower Indigenous peoples in Peru, particularly in the Amazon. It aligns with USAID's Policy for the Promotion of Indigenous Peoples’ Rights and seeks to enhance Indigenous involvement in development processes while safeguarding their cultural and land rights. The strategy emphasizes several key objectives: strengthening commitments to Indigenous communities, integrating their needs across USAID's initiatives, and promoting gender equality. The document details the current context, highlighting the diversity of Indigenous cultures and the challenges they face, including land rights issues and less representation in governance. Fundamental principles include facilitating meaningful consultations, recognizing Indigenous languages and knowledge, and fostering political dialogue. USAID is committed to ensuring that Indigenous voices are incorporated at every stage of program design and implementation while addressing gender-specific concerns. It also outlines the importance of adhering to the legal framework around prior consultation and Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC). Ultimately, this strategy aims to create durable partnerships that bolster Indigenous rights and promote sustainable development within their communities.
