UNDEF Supports Census of Gabon Indigenous Group
A Bakoya Pygmy woman outside her home in the village of Imbong, near Mekambo in Gabon’s northeastern Ogooué-Ivindo province. The village was visited by a team conducting a census of the Bakoya, a largely undocumented, forest-dwelling indigenous group, in order to secure their civic rights, including the right to vote. The census is part of a project sponsored by the UN Democracy Fund (UNDEF) through a local non-governmental organization.
