Introduction

Indigenous societies and groups have unique cultural identities. They comprise around 19% of the extreme poor, although making up only 6% of the world's population. Indigenous Peoples are discrete social and cultural groups with common ancestral ties to the lands and natural resources they either currently occupy or were forcibly removed from. Their identities, customs, ways of life, and bodily and spiritual health are all intricately entwined with the land and the resources they rely on. As a means of representation, they frequently follow traditional leaders and groups that are different or apart from those of the majority community or culture. Due to their forced removal from their lands and/or relocation to other territories, many Indigenous Peoples have lost their languages or are in danger of doing so. Nevertheless, many still speak a language different from the official language or languages of the nation or region in which they live. Of the 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, they are able to speak more than 4,000 of them. However, according to some projections, almost half of these languages could go extinct by 2100. About 70% of all Indigenous people live in the Asia-Pacific region, but their full economic potential is still unrealized. Panelists from a variety of APEC economies discussed their experiences measuring and gathering data on Indigenous economies during a virtual policy dialogue on understanding and valuing Indigenous economies earlier this month. They emphasized the need for more data collection efforts as well as the quality of the data itself. Indigenous Peoples can obtain capital and financing through a variety of channels, including skills and enabling digital technologies, in addition to government funds, private sector banks, and private investment funds. Other forums, such as the SME Working Group, the Finance Ministers' Process, and the Policy Partnership on Women and the Economy, may find this topic interesting. Indigenous communities should get training and education to utilize their expertise and foster creativity, especially among young Indigenous people. The process of involving indigenous communities in policy decision-making involves taking into account best practice consultation approaches that take into account the ideas, opinions, and values of Indigenous Peoples. This helps to achieve buy-in and ensures that benefits are inclusive. Increased data availability through better tracking and measuring of indigenous economic progress. Policymakers and Indigenous Peoples find it challenging to respond to the pandemic in a focused and informed way due to data deficiencies. Better policy decisions, economic sustainability, and economic recovery for everybody would ultimately result from improved data collecting carried out in partnership with Indigenous Peoples. In order to reduce poverty's multifaceted aspects and support sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is imperative to enhance land tenure security, bolster governance, encourage public investments in high-quality, culturally-appropriate service provision, and support Indigenous systems for resilience and livelihood. In order to guarantee that the opinions and goals of Indigenous Peoples are represented in wider development initiatives, the World Bank collaborates with Indigenous Peoples and governments.
