Building trust between all stakeholders is an immense, but essential challenge for REDD+ to overcome. The principles of Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) are widely recognized as instrumental trust-building measures needed to achieve effective collaboration between policy-makers and local and indigenous peoples. The UN-REDD program has recognized this by making FPIC a key element of its country-level ‘fast start’ activities.

Both Vietnam and Indonesia ’s UN-REDD programs have been applying FPIC processes during the past year, and with RECOFTC and partners, the UN-REDD global program developed a FPIC evaluation toolkit and piloted it in Vietnam . What lessons do these experiences provide for REDD+ program development worldwide?

Five 15-minute presentations will describe how FPIC processes in UN-REDD Country Programs have progressed over the past year.
