An IPP is required for PPP projects with significant impacts on Indigenous Peoples to ensure that proper safeguards are designed and implemented together with the implementation of the project.
The proposed outline for a prototype IPP is as follows (World Bank, 2005, 2011, ADB, 2009):
1. Legal and institutional framework
2. Indigenous Peoples profile
3. Description of the project
4. Assessment of Potential Impacts of the Project to IPs
5. Avoidance and Mitigation Measures
6. Consultation and Agreement or covenants with IPs
7. Implementation Plan for IPP
8. Grievance Redress Mechanism
9. Monitoring and Evaluation System
10. Financial Requirements
The other important components of the IP plan are the following (World Bank, 2005):
1. Summary of social assessment
2. Summary of results of the free, prior, and informed consultation.
3. Action plan of measures to ensure that the Indigenous Peoples receive social and economic benefits that are culturally appropriate
4. Action plan on avoidance and mitigation measures on adverse effects of the project
5. Cost estimates and financing plan for the IPP
6. Accessible procedures appropriate to the project to address grievances by the affected Indigenous Peoples' communities arising from project implementation
7. Mechanisms and benchmarks appropriate to the project for monitoring, evaluating, and reporting on the implementation of the IPP
A brief description of the IPP general outline is provided in Technical Notes 2.
