NDAS7

At the Inter-American Development Bank, we are convinced that the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean can transform their development trajectories to become more sustainable and improve the lives of their citizens. For this reason, on September 16, 2020, the new Environmental and Social Policy Framework was approved, which modernizes our safeguard policies and guides the management of environmental and social risks across all our projects.

In this virtual course, you will have the opportunity to learn about the new Performance Standard 7 on Indigenous Peoples. Through readings, audiovisual materials, and quizzes, you will understand the importance of ensuring that IDB projects respect the human rights, dignity, aspirations, and culture of Indigenous Peoples; avoid, minimize, or compensate for adverse impacts on their environments; and promote sustainable development opportunities consistent with their culture.

Join the effort to study the context of Indigenous Peoples and promote their development in our region!
