Complaint

IAM: Inspection Panel (Panel)

ID: 125

Date Filed: April 2, 2018

Date Closed: July 23, 2018

Status: Closed Without Outputs

Description

A third Request was submitted by the Rivers with Boundaries Coalition, Rivers without Boundaries Mongolia and a local NGO in Russia, the latter of which asked for confidentiality. They claimed potential environmental and social harm caused by the financing of impact assessments and feasibility studies of the Shuren Hydropower Plant and Orkhon-Gobi Water Diversion subprojects financed by MINIS, as well as concerns related to lack of consultation and disclosure of information. Since the third Request concerned an issue on which the Panel made a recommendation in 2017, the Panel had to assess whether the information provided by the Requesters and Bank Management constituted new evidence or circumstances. The Panel said it did not consider this to be the case, and issued a Notice of Non-Registration for this Request on May 11, 2018.
