Summary
The World Bank’s 1991 Indigenous Peoples Policy (Operational Directive 4.20) forms one of ten so-called "safeguard policies" that aim to ensure that Bank-funded operations do not cause adverse environmental and social impacts in borrower countries. OD4.20 seeks to ensure that Bank staff, borrower governments and implementing agencies take positive action to safeguard indigenous rights by: securing land tenure and resource access; mitigating negative development impacts; guaranteeing participation; and assuring receipt of benefits.
