This guide to the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC)-360° Tool serves as a resource for understanding when FPIC is required by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and how it must be incorporated into the program cycle. The FPIC-360° Tool provides step-by-step guidance on how to implement a thorough FPIC process for operating units (OUs) and implementing partners. The FPIC-360° Tool aligns with USAID’s Policy on Promoting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (PRO-IP), which was approved in March 2020.
