A/HRC/30/54 98. Peru had developed four training manuals, including one on the rights of indigenous peoples in Peru, to train environment officials and leaders on these issues in an effort to increase competency. 99. In Japan, Ainu policy made reference to relevant provisions of the Declaration. The Declaration had also been translated into Japanese. 100. The questionnaire posed the following question to indigenous peoples: “Have you taken any measures to raise awareness about the Declaration at various levels of the community and governance to enhance the prospects of its implementation?” 101. Responses from indigenous peoples referenced capacity-building workshops and the development of training materials. Red COMUINCACOL stressed the importance of developing easy-to-understand learning materials and using communications media and the education system. Les Amis du Sankuru indicated that, while they had carried out dissemination within their organization and nearby communities, financial constraints made it difficult to reach more distant provinces and to purchase media space for dissemination. K. Challenges encountered in adopting measures and implementing strategies to achieve the ends of the Declaration 102. The questionnaire posed the following question to States and indigenous peoples: “What are the main challenges encountered in adopting measures and implementing strategies to achieve the ends of the Declaration?” 103. States noted a range of challenges to achieve the ends of the Declaration. Some States highlighted the translation of the Declaration into indigenous languages as an ongoing challenge for future work. Burundi identified the low literacy rates among the Batwa as a challenge. Chile noted that a specific challenge was the diversity of indigenous peoples within the country, which required a detailed framework to respond to the differences amongst indigenous peoples. 104. Peru indicated that the lack of national data presented a problem for implementation. It also indicated that consultation was a challenge because capacity had to be built among both public sector staff and indigenous leaders. Peru also reiterated the challenge of the diverse and dispersed populations of indigenous peoples. 105. Guatemala indicated a need to strengthen institutional mechanisms to protect indigenous peoples’ rights, as well as a need for more opportunities for inter-agency coordination with civil society to monitor the actions and measures in the implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and to achieve the fulfilment of its objectives. 106. Colombia cited three challenges: the re-establishment of peace in those indigenous territories that were still facing difficulties caused by armed conflict; the complexities of implementing policies and programmes, given the geographical dispersion of indigenous peoples in the country; and conflicts of representation within some indigenous organizations/communities. 107. Some States again reiterated that the provision of financial resources was essential to implementation of the Declaration, particularly in relation to promoting and revitalizing languages. 108. The main challenges identified by indigenous peoples included lack of political will, lack of knowledge of the Declaration among local authorities, and the fact that indigenous peoples’ rights were often set against the rights of the mainstream population. 14
