| dc.description | This study presents the systematization of relationships deemed successful between Indigenous Peoples and private sector organizations in Latin America. The intention of this study is to foster the incorporation of new dimensions that strengthen the impact of Indigenous Peoples in the transformation of their relationship with private entities, making them more symmetrical and transparent, for the benefit of society as a whole.Twelve experiences were selected from eight Latin American countries, corresponding to diverse productive sectors, such as metallic and non-metallic mining, food, tourism, gastronomy, energy and hydrocarbons. In these experiences, Indigenous Peoples are predominantly negotiators of agreements, but in some cases they also participate as trading partners. Furthermore, this report includes cases in which the state has various levels of participation and influence in achieving agreements or agreements.The study shows that, although mutually beneficial relationships between companies and communities are not the norm, they can be established. Even so, positive relationships usually emerge from long processes, from the development of trust on both sides and with great contribution from international agreements on the matter. Additionally, the document recommends that companies consider local Indigenous communities as partners, rather than beneficiaries, and align their mission with greater knowledge and understanding of Indigenous Peoples. States are recommended to ensure compliance with international regulations and strengthen their capacity in this regard. The recommendation for Indigenous Peoples is to include among their assets the impact and interaction with the non-Indigenous world, and finally, it is recommended that international organizations move towards the binding nature of international agreements on the matter, among other recommendations. | |
