Indigenous peoples/ethnic minorities and poverty reduction - Cambodia


In 1999, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a Policy on Indigenous Peoples in order to provide a framework for its commitment to recognize the vulnerability of certain socially or culturally distinct groups to being disadvantaged in comparison with mainstream society, and to identify measures to satisfy the needs and development aspirations of such people. The policy focuses on their participation in development and the mitigation of undesirable effects of the development process, especially incidence of poverty.
