Inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in the Public Procurement Market

Lessons for Latin America and the Caribbean from International Experiences

This paper discusses the numerous ways that Indigenous peoples are excluded from or disadvantaged in public procurement markets, as well as international best practices regarding their inclusion in these markets. Five countries were identified as having relevant programs and initiatives to incorporate Indigenous peoples in the public procurement market: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. This exploratory paper analyzes their policies, the institutional frameworks and regulations that govern them, their eligibility criteria, and the results obtained. It concludes with recommendations for replicating such programs in Latin America and the Caribbean.
