E/2006/43 E/C.19/2006/11 collect disaggregated data and adopt culturally sensitive indicators to monitor the implementation of the Goals among indigenous peoples. 94. The Permanent Forum acknowledges the achievements of United Nations bodies in developing, collecting and analysing data that capture the cultural specificity of indigenous peoples as reflected in the reports received. It notes with concern, however, that culturally appropriate indicators and tools are not in place to monitor the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals for indigenous peoples. The Permanent Forum welcomes ongoing initiatives aimed at correcting this deficiency, including: (a) The technical paper prepared by the Inter-Agency Support Group on Indigenous Issues (E/C.19/2006/3/Add.1), which offers an overview of indicators and systems of data collection and disaggregation currently in place in its member organizations. The Permanent Forum endorses recommendations 36 and 37 proposed by ILO, UNDP, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), UNESCO, the secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNIFEM, UNFPA, WHO, UNICEF, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), UNEP and the Division for Public Administration and Development Management and the Division for Sustainable Development of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat; (b) The report of the International Expert Group Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals, Indigenous Participation and Good Governance (E/C.19/2006/7) of which the Permanent Forum endorses recommendation 63; (c) The report of the Meeting on Indigenous Peoples and Indicators of WellBeing (Ottawa, 23-26 March 2006) (E/C.19/2006/CRP.3) of which the Permanent Forum endorses recommendations 31-37. 95. The Permanent Forum reiterates its recommendations emanating from the Workshop on Data Collection and Disaggregation for Indigenous Peoples (see E/C.19/2004/2), in particular recommendations 16-22 and 24. 96. Recalling the Workshop on Data Collection and Disaggregation for Indigenous Peoples (see E/C.19/2004/2 for the report of the Workshop), the Permanent Forum welcomes the ongoing collaboration with the United Nations Statistics Division in reviewing national practices in data collection and dissemination in the areas of ethnicity, language and religion. In the light of this work, as well as of the 2010 World Population and Housing Census Programme, the Permanent Forum reiterates its support to the Statistics Division as expressed in the report of the Permanent Forum on its fourth session 18 and its recommendations contained in paragraphs 80 and 81 of that report. 97. The Permanent Forum reiterates its recommendations to United Nations bodies contained in paragraphs 82 and 83 of its report on its fourth session and urges Member States and United Nations bodies to take the steps described in paragraphs 84-88 therein. __________________ 18 16 Official Records of the Economic and Social Council, 2005, Supplement No. 23 (E/2005/43).
