FPIC-360° is the first Tool to democratise the design, implementation and monitoring of FPIC process for all project stakeholders.
-
FPIC
The right to FPIC is a key principle of international human rights law to protect Indigenous Peoples’ livelihoods and territories and is therefore a requirement of many sustainability standards and international finance institutions.
-
The Idea
The FPIC-360° Tool is founded on the premise that FPIC can only be conducted responsibly and successfully if the Indigenous Peoples affected by a proposed project are co-owners and implementers of the entire process, from design, through implementation and monitoring phases.
-
Value
The FPIC-360° Tool is innovative in that it democratises the design, implementation and monitoring of FPIC processes, by facilitating equitable participation in, and ownership of, the FPIC process by all project stakeholders.
-
The Gap
FPIC is very often a process that happens to Indigenous Peoples’ communities, and from the top-down as part of a company’s due diligence and project permitting procedures.
