Australia pursued a policy of focusing on addressing indigenous disadvantage in areas such as education, health services, community development and community safety. 104.

In addition, cultural centres could be created to promote indigenous cultures. Finally, some States recognized indigenous languages as official languages. 105. To attain the goals of the Declaration, some States indicated that a special budget for consultation with indigenous peoples had been created. Other States provided funds to address issues facing urban indigenous peoples and undertake studies on employability. To this end, States indicated that international financial institutions would need to aid developing countries throughout the implementation process. 106. Norway cited the development of more sustainable policies as a result of consultations between the Sámediggi and the Norwegian Government as a best practice. III. Responses from indigenous peoples, indigenous peoples’ organizations and non-governmental organizations A. Overarching implementation strategies 107. A number of indigenous peoples’ organizations indicated that they had developed strategies to implement the Declaration. In some cases, organizations, such as the Community for the Advancement of Native Studies and the San Support Organizations’ Association of Namibia, had themselves been created specifically as an implementation strategy.
