Desertification
76. We call for the full and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, especially those of Africa, in the negotiation and implementation process of the Convention to Combat Desertification. Therefore, we call for the necessary financial resources and equitable mechanisms that will enable us to substantially contribute to this Convention and related activities.
Education, Science, Technology and Communications
77. We will revitalize, strengthen and develop our traditional education institutions and systems for learning at all levels.
78. We will work towards changing the public and private education systems to recognize and teach the cultural diversity of each country, taking into account the revision of curricula, restoration of historical truth, production of new teaching aids, and introduction of our languages.
79. We will promote capacity-building programmes in indigenous as well as non-indigenous societies on our rights and priorities for sustainable development, in order to strengthen the application of policies for cooperation with and amongst Indigenous Peoples.
