<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">The Board of Trustees (hereinafter the “Board”) of the UN Voluntary Trust Fund for Indigenous Peoples (hereinafter the “Fund”) would like to bring the following information
to the attention of all applicants in order to effectively review your application for financial support to Treaty Bodies meetings.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">We have encountered some problems during the process of selection due to a large number of incomplete applications. Applications are categorized as incomplete when the
required information is not submitted. All questions on the form must be answered fully and in a satisfactory way. This information is vital for the criteria of selection.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">For example, it is extremely important that an applicant represents an indigenous peoples’ organization or community. Therefore, it is crucial for the applicant to include,
with the completed application, a letter or recommendation from the organization or community that she/he represents, signed by the executive of the organization or the Leader of the community. Such a letter or recommendation cannot be signed by the applicant.
An application that does not comply with these requirements will be considered incomplete and inadmissible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">Attending the Treaty Body sessions must be understood by the applicant as an integral part of the struggle for the recognition of and respect for the human rights of
indigenous peoples. One way of broadening the indigenous movement is to enable as many indigenous organizations and communities as possible to participate in these important sessions. In this regard, the Board encourages new applicants from organizations and
communities heretofore unrepresented in these sessions. One element of effective participation is the ability to share their experience and spread the message within their respective communities. It is a difficult task to select beneficiaries of the Fund,
especially when trying to strike the best balance possible. In order to attain the best balance, the Board seeks to ensure gender balance as well as geographical distribution, both of which are important criteria for selection.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">In addition to effective participation during the sessions, it is critical for follow up work to be done by beneficiaries. One measure that will be required from you
is to agree on organizing and conducting at least one awareness-raising meeting for your respective communities to inform them of the issues, proceedings and decisions of the session and their future work. Such a follow-up commitment is essential and will
require documentation to reflect that you, as the applicant, are committed to make the most out of the grant. In this way, the Fund can help to enhance indigenous communities and their members to be well informed of what is happening at the global level in
relation to the promotion and protection of their human rights. Beneficiaries of the Fund who attend Treaty Bodies have the responsibility and obligation to inform their respective communities and members of their organizations about the developments and
proceedings of these sessions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
