Indigenous procurement

Indigenous procurement refers to policies and practices that prioritize purchasing goods and services from Indigenous businesses or communities. This approach aims to support economic development, self-sufficiency, and meaningful inclusion of Indigenous peoples in the economy. Governments and organizations often set targets or offer incentives to increase these contracts, fostering respectful partnerships and recognizing Indigenous rights and contributions. It helps bridge economic gaps, promote cultural values, and ensure that Indigenous communities benefit directly from public and private sector spending.
