These Technical Guidelines provide step-by-step procedures and concrete actions as pathways toward carrying out meaningful stakeholder engagement so as to achieve FPIC where required, under the “Participation and Partnership Framework (PPF)” as the overarching conceptual framework. The PPF also suggests that this approach be made available not only for IP communities but for any project when significant community risks are present. The TG discuss how to do this by laying out three basic approaches that the project can use depending on the scale of risks and impacts as well as the complexity of the project, and the characteristics of the affected people: FPIC-1 (Standard), FPIC-2 (Lite), FPIC-3 (Like).
Published by the World Bank, Dr. Guldin was the main author of these Technical Guidelines along with Satoshi Ishihara, then of the World Bank and currently at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
