Description

CAO received the complaint on June 8, 2022. The complaint raised concerns about poor working conditions, specifically regarding the quality of food provided, insufficient water, lack of working electricity generators despite hot temperatures, lack of air conditioning on buses used for transportation, and compensation practices. After undergoing a review for eligibility, the case was found eligible for assessment on July 22, 2022. During the assessment process, the complainant and the Benban Solar Park representatives agreed to engage in a voluntary CAO dispute resolution process to address the issues raised in the complaint. In accordance with the CAO Policy, the case will now be handled by CAO’s Dispute Resolution function. IFC leads a consortium of nine international banks, providing a debt package totaling $653 million—of which $225 million will be financed by IFC. This capital supports the construction of 14 of the 41 solar power plants that make up the Benban Solar Park. MIGA has 12 active guarantees for projects in the Benban Solar Park. Of these 12 projects, three are financed by the IFC-led consortium, and nine by a consortium led by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
