Summary
Civil society organizations are urging the World Bank to integrate the Inspection Panel's twenty years of experience into its safeguard policy review, arguing that the Panel's investigations provide a critical feedback loop for institutional learning.
Key insights
- The undersigned civil society organizations request that the World Bank extend a formal invitation to the Inspection Panel to participate in the review of its safeguard policies, noting the Panel's "almost twenty years of experience working with communities affected by World Bank-financed projects".
- The authors argue that simply considering the Panel's case reports is insufficient to capture its experience and suggest the World Bank follow the example of the IFC, where the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman played an "active, useful, and constructive role" during the review of its Policy and Performance Standards on Social and Environmental Sustainability.
- The letter asserts that grievance mechanisms serve as an "invaluable feedback loop" that allows institutions to learn from mistakes, and urges the Bank to seek the Inspection Panel's views on important documents produced during the safeguard review.
