The FAO Policy on Indigenous Peoples, aligns FAO´s work with the 2007 UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) is at the core of both the FAO Policy and UNDRIP. In order to comply with UNDRIP, main donors and UN agencies have incorporated FPIC in their corporate policies, project cycles, and safeguards as a prerequisite when working with Indigenous Peoples. FAO is no exception and since 2015, FPIC is a prerequisite in all FAO projects and programmes involving Indigenous Peoples. FPIC is one of the seven pillars of FAO’s work programme with Indigenous Peoples implemented by PSUI and is also included in FAO’s Environmental and Social Safeguards, project cycle, and Programme and Project Review Committee (PPRC). In FAO programmes and projects involving Indigenous Peoples, compliance with FPIC standards and process is a prerequisite during the design, formulation, implementation and monitoring in FAO projects. In 2016, PSUI and partner organizations jointly developed a practitioners manual and training course on how to incorporate FPIC into the work of each respective organization.
Over the years the number of projects requiring FPIC processes in FAO have increased exponentially due to the importance of climate related funding. Within this context, the FPIC Technical Officer will provide technical advice at corporate level on FPIC to support the implementation of the FAO Policy on Indigenous Peoples and FAO’s compliance with UNDRIP.
The position is located in the Indigenous People Unit (PSUI) within PSU and based at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy.
