Abstract
In South Africa, initiatives have been taken to establish an institutional framework for dialogue and consultation between the Government, and the indigenous and tribal peoples of South Africa. A Conference on the Constitutional Accommodation of Vulnerable Indigenous Communities was held in May 1998 in Pretoria in cooperation with the South African Department of Constitutional Development. The conference was supported by the PRO-169 project. A second, follow-up Conference on the Constitutional Accommodation of Vulnerable Indigenous Communities, took place in March 1999 in co-operation with the South African Department of Constitutional Development.
The Project has also supervised a needs assessment study - entitled Indigenous Peoples of South Africa: Current Trends - in collaboration with the South African San Institute (SASI) and the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee (IPACC).
Further initiatives to strengthen the dialogue on indigenous are under consideration.
