The NCIP-FPIC (National Commission on Indigenous Peoples – Free, Prior, and Informed Consent) Kalinga Community Consultative Assembly’s Group Sharing Activity is a vital part of the FPIC process. During this activity, community members come together to discuss and share their views, concerns, and expectations about projects or initiatives that might affect their land, culture, and resources.
This gathering allows for open communication, where everyone’s voice is heard, ensuring that the collective decisions reflect the community’s genuine interests. The goal is to build consensus and empower the community to make informed choices regarding any proposed activities, reinforcing their right to self-determination and the protection of their cultural heritage. Through such activities, the community can also strengthen their unity and solidarity, fostering a collaborative approach to addressing common issues.
