tions of indigenous peoples worldwide. In most UN agencies there are designated focal points or units undertaking activities benefiting indige- nous peoples.
• OHCHR is focusing on capacity-building for indigenous organizations in human rights, strengthening the participation of indigenous peoples in the UN’s work, and improving the information flow to indigenous com- munities.
• The indigenous fellowship programme offers six months training in human rights within OHCHR to indigenous representatives.
• Two voluntary funds provide travel grants to enable indigenous people to participate in human rights meetings and assistance with projects (see below).
• The indigenous media network: through a series of workshops and exchanges, OHCHR is using the indigenous media as the linkage between United Nations activities and indigenous communities.
• The Working Group on Indigenous Populations, open to all indigenous peoples, remains the primary international meeting place for the world’s indigenous peoples with nearly 1,000 participants.
