Land use planning and land tenure

Proposal

Restore spaces of social participation and control within the scope of the Federal Government for monitoring and evaluating food security and nutrition policies.

Problem

Due to their intersectoral, interdisciplinary and plural nature, public food- and health-related policies geared to indigenous peoples, including those not living in villages, quilombola and other traditional peoples and communities should not advance without guaranteed participation and representation of these segments and population groups in decision-making forums.

Goals

Although symbolic, and with no intention of automatically re-establishing the various joint agencies extinguished by Decree No. 9.759/2019, the change proposed in this plan seeks to underline the importance of creating institutions and mechanisms for monitoring and for social participation and control, with public support and funding. The Amazon region needs conditions and instruments that contemplate regional, ethnic and cultural specificities, thus contributing to the formulation of public policy, legislation, regulation and goals properly adapted to the context and the ways of life and production of these populations. In the scopes of food and health, this would result, for example, in access to public funds and credit, as well as in adapted care at all levels of health services. It is also an opportunity for local stakeholders to be present in the decision-making regarding environmental policies and infrastructure projects.
