WFP’s Indigenous Peoples’ (IP) Portfolio is embedded in the social inclusion agenda of leaving no one behind. Engagement with indigenous peoples is harnessed in WFP’s new Protection and
Accountability Policy (2020) which brings to the forefront the voices of affected populations to influence WFP’s actions. It also draws attention to the complexity of factors leading to vulnerability such as structural inequality and discrimination- which play a critical part in indigenous peoples’ persistent exclusion and economic poverty.
