Consultation Process on Prior Consultation Bill Draft for Indigenous Peoples
The Program "Support in the process of legislative development and the implementation of the right to prior consultation and participation of the indigenous peoples of Bolivia" was implemented in 2013. More than sixty training, socialization and consultation workshops were organized on the Proposed Consultation Law prepared by the Multidisciplinary Technical Team for Indigenous Peoples of the Ministry of Government. Around one hundred participatory events were designed and directed by both the Ministry (36 events) and the indigenous organizations (33 events). The agreements reached were signed by the participants to ensure the incidence of the opinion of indigenous peoples in the drafting of the legislation regarding the right to consultation.
