Indigenous peoples' organisations in Panama pull out of UN-REDD National Joint Programme (NJP)
Indigenous peoples' organisations in Panama have withdrawn from the UN-REDD National Joint Programme (NJP) due to the inadequate attention to rights issues by the government and UN agencies and the lack of full and effective consultations with indigenous peoples on the various stages and implementation of the programme.
