3.7.2. Mitigation and Development Benefits
152. The client will seek to identify, through the process of FPIC of the affected communities of
Indigenous Peoples, mitigation measures that are in line with the mitigation hierarchy as described in the Principle 1 as well as opportunities for culturally appropriate and sustainable development
benefits. Such opportunities should be commensurate with the degree of project impacts, with the aim of improving their standard of living and livelihoods in a culturally appropriate manner, and to
fostering the long-term sustainability of the natural resource on which they depend. The client will document identified mitigation and development benefits and deliver them in a timely and equitable
manner to the Affected Communities of Indigenous People.
153. Laws, institutions and customs of the Affected Communities of Indigenous Peoples will be
taken into account for the determination, delivery and distribution of compensation and other benefit sharing measures. Compensation eligibility can occur on a collective or individual basis or a
combination of both. Where control of resources, assets and decision making are predominantly collective in nature, the client will make efforts to ensure that, where possible, benefits and
compensation are collective, and take account of intergenerational differences and needs.
154. Some factors can be used by the client to determine how the Affected Communities of
Indigenous Peoples should benefit from the project. These factors include, but not limited to, the nature of the project, project context and the vulnerability of the communities. The client should
develop opportunities that aim to meet the goals and preferences of the Indigenous Peoples including to improve their living and livelihood standard in a culturally appropriate manner. The client should
also foster the long-term sustainability of the natural resources on which the Indigenous Peoples depend.
