Die mikpunte van die voorlegging is om ‘n bewussyn te laat toeneem van nasional omgewingbeleidsverklarings en die belangrikste instrumente van die Verenigde Volke, om strategiese vennootskappe te bou, om die kapasiteit van gemeenskapsorganisasies uit te brei, om tradisionele kennisdraers by voorspraak- en proefprojekte in te sluit, om leergroepe in inheemse leierskapkringe te skep en om kontak te maak met die maghebbers van Afrika-state.

  IPACC HUGAFO - UN Permanent Forum Report
  Post Date: 11 Feb '08
  IPACC Report to the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues concerning African Hunter-Gatherers' Lands, Territories, Natural Resources and Traditional Knowledge of Biodiversity - 2006/2007 In April 2007, IPACC’s Executive Committee participated in a four day workshop on strategic approaches to natural resources. The indigenous leaders concluded that the future of indigenous peoples in Africa depends on convincing policy makers of the importance of integrating indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) into environmental and natural resource policies and mechanisms. Recognising the value and wisdom of IKS strengthens the claims of indigenous peoples to be custodians and stewards of natural resources, lands and territories. It also ensures a sustainable environmental future for all Africans.
