Tribal Peoples and Economic Development: Human Ecologic Considerations

Abstract

This paper highlights the fact that certain peoples, specifically tribal, who are still living on the periphery of the dominant national society, deserve special consideration under World Bank projects. This consideration will ensure that they will benefit -- though in the longer run -- from projects presently financed and that they will not be affected negatively by development projects. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overall perspective of this broad policy statement in order to assist borrowers and their consultants in the delicate task of designing projects, regulations or institutions that take into account the special kinds of problems that arise when economic development impinges upon a tribal society. The report identifies the tribal people concerned and the magnitude of the topic. It also shows why special attention is needed and outlines the particular needs of these people to be addressed in implementing policy.
