Building capacities on indigenous and tribal peoples’ issues in Bangladesh

The “Building Capacities of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples’ Issues in Bangladesh: Rights and Good Practices” project was launched by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2009 with support from the Royal Danish Embassy in Dhaka and direct partnership with the Ministry of Chittagong Hill Tracts. Since it commenced, the project has helped strengthen the institutional capacity of the Government of Bangladesh and ITPs to support the integration of ITPs rights into the national legal and policy environment, in line with relevant national and international standards and policies. The project has also facilitated national level policy advocacy through the Parliamentary Caucus on Indigenous Peoples
