During the two and half day workshop, participants exchanged information and extensively discussed ways on how different United Nations entities working on traditional knowledge can better integrate a more collaborative, complementary and holistic approach to traditional knowledge in order to enhance better understanding of indigenous concerns and their possible solution. The outstanding quality of papers presented by indigenous experts were highly appreciated, they have substantively contributed towards the formulation of specific recommendations to the UN system and other inter-governmental organizations with a view to better integrating indigenous perspectives in their work on traditional knowledge. The report and recommendations were adopted by the workshop and will be submitted to the Fifth Session of the Permanent Forum.
