17. The impact of the implementation of Millennium Development Goals on
indigenous peoples should be assessed and reported in Millennium Development
Goals country reports and other relevant reports by States and the United Nations
system. Progressive assessment of the situation of indigenous peoples in the process
of implementation of the Millennium Development Goals should be reflected in the

the Millennium Development Goals reports should be refined to ensure that the
coverage of the poverty situation of indigenous peoples is integrated. The
Millennium Development Goals country reports should be prepared, where relevant,

of poverty reduction strategies as well as in the implementation and monitoring
