Which of the following best describes an IBA?

An IBA is a binding agreement between a project proponent and an Indigenous community that sets out the benefits and terms for a project. It establishes how the community will participate and share in the project’s benefits—such as jobs, training, local procurement, revenue sharing, and environmental and governance commitments—so both sides have clear expectations and a path for addressing issues. The other options describe different kinds of agreements that don’t specifically involve an Indigenous community or outline project-specific benefits, so they don’t fit the definition of an IBA.
