Applications of the Tool

  • 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.
  • The FPIC-360° Tool, however, 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.
  • 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
