LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK. A. Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997 (RA 8371) 5. The Indigenous Peoples (IP) in the Philippines remain as the most marginalized sector of society. This status continues despite the tremendous progress made by communities, partners, and advocates over years of struggle. As a result of the vigilance and sustained advocacy of the IP sector and its partners, the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act was enacted in 1997. This provided venues and legal backbone for recognizing the traditional rights of communities over their ancestral domain. 6. The IPRA provides for the recognition of the traditional rights of Indigenous Peoples over their ancestral domains through the issuance of Certificates of Ancestral Domain Titles (CADT). It recognizes the rights of ICC’s to define their development priorities through their own Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP) and exercise management and utilize the natural resources within their traditional territories.

It is elaborated, implemented and evaluated jointly by the Luxembourg and Namibian Governments through the governmental and administrative bodies responsible for development co-operation: • for Namibia, the Office of the President through the National Planning Commission Secretariat; and • for Luxembourg, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration through the Directorate for Development Co-operation. These bodies are responsible for the coordination and the monitoring of the ICP. For its implementation, these organisations rely on their respective administrative and technical services, and on the expertise of international and non-governmental organizations working for the development of Namibia.
