National Action Plans are developed by national governmental organizations in coordination with Indigenous Peoples’ institutions and organizations, as well as with various public and academic research bodies, together with other public and private partners working at national and local levels. The National Action Plans outline individual governments’ approaches and courses of action for localizing the Global Action Plan. Aligned to the Global Action Plan, the National Action Plans provide guidance for government agencies and competent bodies, as well as for civil society organizations, and other public-private organizations to develop their own institutional plans. Ultimately they provide an opportunity to adapt the Global Action Plan to the particularities of the infrastructural, legal, political, and social context through which Indigenous languages are addressed in any given country.
