Japan: NGOs publish guidelines for seeking free, prior and informed consent in REDD+ projects
The main purpose of this project is to provide guidelines for seeking Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) from indigenous peoples and/or local communities, primarily targeting Japanese aid organizations and private businesses that are interested in REDD+ projects. One of the features in our guidelines is indicating eight steps to implement FPIC in time series. These steps are tailored for REDD+ on a project basis and address each phase of the project development.
