Although significant progress has been made in Brazil toward regularizing indigenous lands which comprise almost 13% of the national territory (21% of the Brazilian Amazon and 1.3% of other regions), land regularization alone does not guarantee the protection, well-being and sustainability of either these traditional groups or their habitats. Brazil is the richest of the world's megadiversity countries, and indigenous lands in Brazil represent a significant portion (over 20%) of the remaining most preserved tropical forests as well as other biomes, to a far greater extent than even in other types of conservation units such as parks.The socio-economic and ecological homeostasis of isolated tribes with stone age economies unconnected to the nation-state and the cash economy is increasingly changing. Today many Brazilian indigenous peoples live in precarious conditions, and while 16% of the national population live in extreme poverty, for indigenous people extreme poverty is estimated by IBGE at 38%. This is due to numerous factors including insufficient access to resources; contact and acculturation; growing cash needs; conflicts such as with invading goldminers or even landless peasants; and other factors. Hence, change and adaptation of indigenous cultures and societies appears to be inevitable. This can occur quite destructively as during the first half of the twentieth century when more than half the remaining indigenous groups in Brazil became extinct. It could also occur positively when indigenous peoples themselves participate actively in determining the nature and pace of change – in other words, sustainable ethnodevelopment. Hence, two of the central challenges for the futures of the approximately 700,000 indigenous peoples of Brazil who comprise 220 ethnicities and speak 180 different languages are: How best to protect their lands and natural resources -- from external threats but also with respect to the long-term conservation and sustainable use and management of the natural resources given that populations will grow and indigenous economies will evolve?How best to promote indigenous well-being – in terms of empowering these distinct societies to determine their own paths to socio-economic change consistent with their cultural values and lifeways – in other words, sustainable ethnodevelopment? A related but important third question is whether Brazil and its relevant governmental institutions in general and its National Indian Agency (FUNAI) are correctly positioned to help meet these challenges successfully. The joint World Bank (loan) and KfW (grant) operation being proposed in this Project Concept Note directly addresses these three questions. If Brazil succeeds, it could become a bellweather, a leader and a model for culturally appropriate ethnodevelopment of indigenous peoples in Latin America, and in the world.Proposed objective(s)To contribute to the implementation of Brazil's National Policy for Indigenous Peoples, which is integrated in the government's Pluriannual Plan (PPA) and embodies a strategic vision for the promotion and protection of indigenous peoples and their Constitutional rights; the recognition and respect for indigenous peoples and their cultures, linked to their active participation in the management of their land and natural resources. This strategy places a high priority on the needs and concerns of indigenous peoples within the context of national development policies while ensuring sufficient comprehension of indigenous socio-cultural, economic and environmental realities to ensure the physical and cultural integrity of these cultures and societies. This development objective will be accomplished by means of: (i) strengthening FUNAI to effectively carry out its revised mission statement; (ii) creating the conditions for FUNAI to adequately articulate and coordinate indigenous policies and actions among diverse governmental agencies and nongovernmental organizations; (iii) strengthening indigenous rights to traditional and ecologically viable lands by implementing indigenous land regularization, protection activities including protection of recently contacted isolated Indians; and (iv) supporting the sustainable management of indigenous lands and natural resources by means of participatory planning and execution of subprojects. Preliminary descriptionComponent 1. Institutional Development for the Management of Indigenous LandsThe objective of this component is to support FUNAI's restructuring in order to create the conditions for FUNAI to become a recognized center of excellence for the effective management and implementation of indigenous policies, recognized by other government agencies, civil society, and internationally by means of: (i) improving the formulation, coordination, and implementation of indigenous policies, and improving the mechanisms of participatory management for the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous populations; (ii) improving FUNAI's capacity for information management on indigenous issues in Brazil; and (iii) strengthening FUNAI's ponent 2. Promoting Sustainable Ethnodevelopment in Indigenous Lands The objectives of this component is to improve the quality of life of indigenous peoples and the conservation and sustainable use of their natural resources by: (i) securing the rights of indigenous people to their traditional lands and natural resources via implementing policies of the identification and delimitation phase of land regularization, territorial and environmental protection, and protection of isolated and recently contacted indigenous peoples; and (ii) supporting the sustainable management of indigenous lands via participatory planning and the formulation and implementation of subprojects for ethnodevelopment, including, among others, foci on: traditional knowledge management practices, improving production, food security, income generation, access to social rights, and conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Component 3. Support for Project ManagementThe objective of this component is to: (i) strengthen effective and efficient project management and administration; (ii) ensure high quality results oriented monitoring and evaluation; and (iii) ensure the design and implementation of a communications strategy including public dissemination.
