WORLD BANK GROUP ANNUAL MEETINGS 2008 Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman (CAO) Thursday October 9, 20089.30-11.00AM, MC C1-200
Our approach • Distribution of project risks and benefits underlie many concerns/ complaints to the CAO • Potential for IFC/MIGA to pay more attention to local development impacts to enhance project outcomes • The role of a financial institution presents opportunities and limitations
What does development impact mean… …For workers, families, suppliers, business owners, customers: • Employment • Supply chain/procurement • Community development funds • Local capital (e.g. infrastructure, health, training)
Opportunities • Build strong corporate-community relationships • Create benefits = reduce conflict • Shared value
Obstacles • Confidentiality of business-related information • Flexibility and managing expectations • IFC/MIGA v. client reporting
4. What are the opportunities for implementing local DI reporting at IFC/MIGA?
Our recommendations • Help companies engage with communities e.g. guidance on indicators & processes • Improve reportingaround significant impactprojects • Integrate E&S impact assessment with economic analysis • Address DI in strategy & staff/management incentives
5. Next stepsHow can we encourage implementation of these recommendations?
