About
Overview:The National Development Plan 2007-2009 states that "inequality and exclusion of indigenous peoples and Afro-Ecuadorians disrespect of their collective rights, and liberal treatment of the diversity has profound economic and social impacts. In this context, the Joint Programme (JP) has implemented key actions that have contributed to improving the conditions of the indigenous and Afro descendants’ populations that are also the most vulnerable and economically fragile target groups. The JP was implemented through the leadership of the Heritage Ministry Coordinator with the support of six UN agencies who brought their technical and thematic expertise: UNFPA, UNICEF, UNESCO, FAO, WTO and UNDP. The Program created training and capacity building strategies for civil servants, as well as civil society, through such powerful tools as the “National Plan against Racism and Discrimination” and the national contest “Nelson Estupiñán Bass” that rewards initiatives against discrimination and racism. The United Nations agencies that supported the productive community enterprises had a unique training strategy, which allowed the development processes with a single methodology and a validated intervention in the territories. The stakeholders involved in the implementation of culturally productive undertakings were a total of 30,505 citizens of Ecuador (14,439 directly and 16,066 indirectly). The Programme has increased intercultural processes based on equality and equity through: the implementation of the Public Policy for Gender and Intercultural; The JP has contributed to improved health services by making them culturally adequate in order to encourage the access of indigenous and Afro descendant women; facilitating the construction of participatory proposed new laws and institutions for groups and nationalities; strategies have been elaborated to include indigenous children in the international bilingual school system and for supporting basic education in the native language (with didactic materials produced by the JP such as dictionaries); technical and financial assistance to 28 culturally productive undertakings for indigenous cultural descent; New statistical collection methods were introduced that allowed to obtain differentiated data reflecting the ethnic and intercultural dimensions. One of the strengths of the programme was that the beneficiary population was in charge of identifying the typology of courses and services that were offered to them. As such, the JP proved entirely responsive to the local needs and incorporated them into the activities design. Specific activities were also undertaken to include excluded population of ethnic background into productive and income generating schemes, such as gastronomy, music, dancing, etc. The Heritage Ministry Coordinator have implemented a second phase of the Programme on the basis of the evaluation and of the good results obtained, on the government’s own funding.

Best practices:Relevance, strategic alignment, ownership, provincial level committees, working on gender, linking culture to sustainable income sources, capacity development, and general sensitization of society (such as the Nelson Estupiñan Bass competition) were all part of the good JP practices.

Also:
