Navigator’s Kit: Spotlight on Equitable Origin’s FPIC-360° Tool
Operationalizing Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) remains one of the most complex and sensitive challenges in social performance and human rights practice, particularly when moving from high-level commitments to consistent, documented, and rights-aligned implementation on the ground. This month’s Navigator’s Kit highlights a practical tool designed to support that challenge: the FPIC-360° Tool developed by Equitable Origin.
What is FPIC-360°?
FPIC-360° is a digital tool and training programme designed to help structure, support, and document FPIC processes in a transparent, participatory, and verifiable way. Grounded in international human rights standards, including UNDRIP and ILO Convention 169, the tool emphasizes meaningful participation, shared understanding, and accountability across all stages of engagement with Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Rightsholders.
Why this tool is useful:
FPIC-360° responds directly to a common gap faced by practitioners and project teams: translating FPIC principles into clear processes, roles, evidence, and decision-making pathways. The tool provides practical structure for planning and tracking FPIC activities, documenting outcomes, and supporting more consistent implementation over time, particularly in complex, multi-stakeholder project contexts.
