  3. Why FPIC for REDD? • Free, Prior and Informed Consent revolves around the right to self‐determination, related rights to lands, territories and natural resources, the right to culture, and the right to be free from racial discrimination • FPIC applies to key decisions that have the potential to impact the lands and resources upon which rights holders depend • UN‐REDD FPIC is consistent with • UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples • UNFCCC CoP‐15 AWG‐LCA text

  4. FPIC in Viet Nam • The UN-REDD Programme is piloting district-level REDD implementation in two districts of Lam Dong province, south central Viet Nam • About 30 ethnic minorities live in the two districts of which 6 are native • FPIC is conducted in about 80 villages where ethnic minorities are prevalent and which have scope for REDD interventions

  5. FPIC steps

  6. Preparation • Preparation was mostly a process of adapting general FPIC guidelines to the specific context of REDD in Viet Nam • Stakeholders to consult with in Lam Dong province • Ethnic minorities in the two pilot districts and an assessment of their cultural perspective on forest, land tenure and ownership, etc. • Mode of interaction with the ethnic communities • Suitable interlocutors to assist in meetings and directly interact with individuals from the ethnic communities • Preparation of materials • Posters, brochures, etc • Consent forms

  12. Preparation: Interlocutors • The actual engagement with ethnic groups in the villages was done by people from those same ethnic groups • Language proficiency • Cultural sensitivity • Knowledge of protocols and customs • Interlocutors were recruited from the local university • Young people with current knowledge on the environment • Knowledge of the dominant language, culture and procedures • Interlocutors attended a training before going to the villages • Climate change • REDD • Purpose of FPIC

  13. Adjusting the process • In the preparatory meetings in the two districts it became clear that the FPIC process needed some adjustment • According to standard practice when external activities take place, district government officials were planning to attend the village meetings • A decision was made to accommodate the local government officials, but keep them out of the actual village meetings • A first meeting is held at the commune level (group of 6 – 10 villages) to announce the activity to the villagers and raise general awareness on REDD and the FPIC activity. Government officials are present and endorse the process • Interlocutors then visit the villages without government oversight to allow free decision-making
