CSOs call on the World Bank Group to commit to a participatory and transparent IAM Leadership Selection Process

A coalition of civil society organizations write to the World Bank Group's Board of Directors: 

"We are writing concerning the recent announcement of the consolidation of the World Bank Group’s independent accountability mechanisms (IAMs) - the Inspection Panel, Dispute Resolution Service, and the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO). As civil society organizations who support communities to advance their own development objectives and have used the WBG IAMs, we have followed this integration process closely. Now that the Board has decided to proceed with one integrated IAM, the next steps will be crucial to ensuring that the IAM provides an effective forum for communities to secure remedy for harms."
