This guide is an introduction to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). It provides basic information about the right to FPIC and how this right can help people to have a say about development projects, such as dams, mines and, logging and other large infrastructure projects, which affect them in some way.
Oxfam Australia has just published a Guide to Free, Prior and Informed Consent to help Indigenous communities understand and demand this right, which is guaranteed by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
