Indigenous Peoples

The World Bank policy on indigenous peoples, OP/BP 4.10, Indigenous Peoples, underscores the need for Borrowers and Bank staff to identify indigenous peoples, consult with them, ensure that they participate in, and benefit from Bank-funded operations in a culturally appropriate way - and that adverse impacts on them are avoided, or where not feasible, minimized or mitigated.

Please note, that OP/BP 4.10 together replace OD 4.20, Indigenous Peoples, dated September 1991.  These OP and BP apply to all project for which a Project Concept Review takes place on or after July 1, 2005.
