Independent Accountability Mechanism

FinDev Canada’s Independent Accountability Mechanism (IAM) is in place to address the concerns of individuals or communities who believe actual or potential harm has arisen or may arise from a failure by FinDev Canada to follow its own Policies relating to a transaction. The IAM provides an outlet for individuals or communities to have their voices heard and provides an opportunity for an independent and impartial review of the situation, with the goal of providing redress and remedy to the affected parties. This mechanism further enhances the transparency and accountability of FinDev Canada-funded projects and operations in addition to strengthening the social and environmental outcomes of such transactions.
