Abstract
This document is the cover letter dated October 7, 1997, from Dana Clark and David Hunter, Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), and Andrea Durbin, Friends of the Earth--US (FoE-US) to Members of the Committee on Development Effectiveness, proposing an Inspection Mechanism for IFC/MIGA. Attached to the letter is the proposed draft resolution proposing an Independent Review Panel for the IFC and MIGA using the World Bank Inspection Panel as a starting point. The NGO proposal was part of the multi-year (1996-1998) discussions regarding the correct approach to n accountability mechanism for IFC. The eventual launch of the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman (CAO) (in 1999) along with the adoption of the Performance Standards in 1997, formed the heart of IFC and MIGA’s accountability toward project-affected communities for environmental and social impact.
