The Representatives of Indigenous Peoples Organizations ap-proached the African Development Bank and urged it ‘to place more consideration on their issues’. While the African Development Bank is committed to promoting inclusive growth on the continent, the question of who are truly Indigenous Peoples in Africa has remained a politically sensitive issue. This is a fundamental challenge as there is no agreed definition for Indigenous Peoples in Africa or interna-tionally. However, it is generally agreed that indigenous peoples, irrespective of how they are defined or identified are more vulner-able to marginalization, violent conflicts, exclusion and exploitation.
