Civil Society and Indigenous Peoples Participation “It is increasingly recognized that any development effort requires the active involvement of an informed civil society to be truly sustainable. Public participation in the decision-making process introduces a broader range of ideas, experiences, and expertise that motivate the development of alternative solutions. Public participation provides opportunities for cooperation and coordination between government and civil society. All this is particularly true in dealing with issues related to the environment and sustainable development, since they affect people from all segments of society and can bring them together to work toward common goals.” Inter-American Strategy for the Promotion of Public Participation in Decision-Making for Sustainable Development OAS/DSD
