Definition

Consent of Affected Indigenous Peoples Communities refers to a collective expression by the affected Indigenous Peoples communities, through individuals and/or their recognized representatives, of broad community support for a development project.

ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement provides that broad community support may exist even if some individuals or groups object to the project.
