Comments
This prioritymeasure is related to PMs 78, 79 and 81 of this chapter. The indicators of this PM should be disaggregated by geographical area,
whetherbycentreofpopulationorbyminor administrative division, and by urban and rural areas.
This measure must take account of the particular situation of indigenous peoples and Afro-descendants, and in this way complement
PM 88 on the territorial rights of indigenous peoples and PM 96 on affirmative action policies for the development of Afro-descendent
populations.Minor administrative division is understood as the smallest administrative division in each country.
