Appraisals of the need of such measures should be carried out on the basis of accurate data, disaggregated by race, colour, descent and ethnic or national origin and incorporating a gender perspective, on the socioeconomic and cultural status and conditions of the various groups in the population and their participation in the social and economic development of the country. Special measures should be designed and implemented on the basis of prior consultation with affected communities. 8 94. With regard to the situation of the Guaraní people and other vulnerable indigenous communities, such as the Ayoreos, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government take appropriate measures in consultation with affected communities to address specifically their socioeconomic needs, including by eradicating forced labour, the restitution and clarification of land titles, ensuring better access to public and economic services, providing opportunities for employment and development, and helping in capacity-building.

The Special Rapporteur shares the concerns about the considerable number of incidents of discriminatory practices and acts of racial violence committed against indigenous peoples, Afro-Bolivians and other vulnerable groups, and the low level of prosecution and sanctions in such cases. He recommends that the Government intensify its efforts and take further measures to eradicate impunity by bringing to justice perpetrators and prosecuting all cases of racial violence and discrimination, particularly with regard to the incidents in Sucre of May 2008 and the massacre in Pando of September 2008. He also urges the Government to enhance the provision of various forms of assistance and medical services to help victims of racial violence overcome the physical and psychological damage caused by racist incidents. 96.
