food sovereignty, protection of biodiversity, cultural heritage and other relevant
issues;

Design the national development plan with the participation of indigenous
peoples;

water.

education, and improve Internet access in all territories;

implementation of intercultural bilingual education in cooperation with the indigenous
peoples;

Move forward with an intercultural education model by updating the
curricula of all the country’s educational institutions, incorporating the teaching of
indigenous history, culture, sciences and world views and improving the teaching of
indigenous languages;

Increase existing human, technical and financial resources and provide
cultural training to ensure the delivery of education, health-care and social services in
indigenous communities, and continue to support the social programmes implemented
in those communities;
(g)
Remove the barriers preventing indigenous peoples, in particular women
and persons with disabilities, from gaining access to social assistance schemes;

Train health-care personnel with a view to eliminating all racist or
discriminatory practices from the health-care system, and provide appropriate, quality
services;
(i)
Prioritize sexual and reproductive health programmes for indigenous
girls and women;
(j)
Develop an intercultural health-care system that ensures respect for
indigenous medicine and science and that provides services in indigenous languages;

disabilities, in particular at the community level, in cooperation with the indigenous
peoples and with persons with disabilities;
