To honour the traditional lands that the CAR is proposed to be developed on and to respect MFFN traditional teachings5, the Guiding Principles presented in Figure 10-1 will be followed throughout all Project-related consultation activities and the full EA process; from preparation of the ToR to preparation of the EA and implementation of the CAR.
