| Summary: | Bolivia has the highest percentage of
indigenous peoples in America and has recently attracted
substantial investments in gas pipelines and in exploration
work in new areas. the country also has one of the most
dynamic indigenous peoples movement in the region. The joint
UNDP/World Bank ESMAP program designed a pilot training
program to instruct indigenous peoples on the impact of
hydrocarbon activities. The pilot training program in
Bolivia was sufficiently successful to warrant publication
of this report. The report is organized as follows: After
the Introduction, Chapter 2 describes the program's
background. It addresses the development of the oil and gas
industry in Bolivia, the specific demands of indigenous
peoples in this respect, the progress made with the relevant
legislation, and the circumstances under which this training
program was designed. Chapter 3 describes the experience of
program implementation, which was split into three phases: a
preparatory phase, a development (training) phase, and a
dissemination phase. Chapter 4 includes the lessons,
recommendations, and future steps envisaged as a result of
the experience. Annex A describes the Population, Energy and
Environmental Prpgram; Annex B contains the text of the
proposed regulations governing hydrocarbon activities in the
indigenous people's communal territories. |
