Indigenous Engagement and Participation Plans
Indigenous Engagement and Participation Plans (IEPPs) are structured strategies that guide how an organization interacts with Indigenous Peoples, communities, organizations, or governments. These plans outline methods for early, ongoing, and respectful engagement, with a focus on building trust and ensuring Indigenous voices are meaningfully included in decision-making processes.
Why It Matters:
Whether for community development, infrastructure projects, environmental assessments, or policy design, Indigenous engagement is not only a best practice—it is often a legal, ethical, and social obligation. IEPPs ensure that Indigenous rights, interests, and knowledge systems are recognized and that communities have a real opportunity to influence outcomes that affect them.
What We Offer:
We help organizations develop and implement IEPPs that are:
- Culturally congruent and informed by local context
- Co-designed with Indigenous rights holders
- Aligned with relevant legal and regulatory frameworks (such as UNDRIP, FPIC, or regional consultation protocols)
- Focused on long-term relationship building, not just transactional engagement
Our team facilitates:
- Community consultation processes
- Indigenous procurement and employment strategies
- Capacity-building and inclusion initiatives
- Stakeholder mapping and engagement reporting
