Concise Guide to USAID’s Toolkit for Monitoring Engagement and Verifying Free Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC)

This is a multipronged tool developed for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to facilitate implementing partners, Indigenous Peoples, and other stakeholders to implement the FPIC processes. This is a management tool that allows all parties to document activities, track progress, and organize multimedia evidence. At each step of the FPIC process: Enabling Conditions, Prerequisites, FPIC Process, Achieving FPIC, and Follow-up (see below), this tool requires that evidence be uploaded as proof of compliance. This evidence may be contributed by the Indigenous Peoples or the implementing partner before being made available to a third-party assurance provider to confirm and verify.
