The FPIC Solutions Dialogue brings NGOs and companies together with Indigenous communities and independent experts, for candid and open discussions about challenges and promising approaches for implementing FPIC. Participants share real-world case studies, identify lessons learned and successful approaches, and collaboratively explore how to navigate difficult scenarios.
The Dialogue also draws lessons from pilot projects conducted by participants with advice and input from others in the Dialogue. The Secretariat, RESOLVE, periodically conducts research at the direction of the Dialogue.
Our reports, meeting summaries, and reports from pilot projects can be found below. We have also included links to resources from other organizations which you may find useful in learning about and implementing FPIC.
