ID: 162

Date Filed: Dec. 19, 2022

Status: Active

Description

The Requesters allege that the road upgrade under the Project affects the land and livelihoods of the Chiquitanos by opening up “new opportunities” for illegal activities—such as agribusiness and logging—and for outsiders to settle in their territories. They claim the growing numbers of wildfires, which are exacerbated by these activities, also threaten their land and livelihoods. The Requesters allege sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEA/H)—including SEA/H of indigenous girls including minors—by workers hired by the Project’s contractor and sub-contractors. The Requesters claim several measures developed to prevent and respond to SEA/H involving children have not been implemented. Furthermore, they allege that despite their inquiries they are not informed about actions implemented on the ground to prevent and respond to child SEA/H. The Requesters also complain that the contractor’s hiring conditions do not guarantee the labor rights of the Chiquitanos working at Project sites, including timely payments to them. They claim that the original Indigenous People’s Plan (IPP) prepared under the Project was inadequate and prepared without the meaningful consultation and participation of Chiquitano indigenous people. The Requesters allege that while an updated IPP, finalized in January 2022, was “relatively strong,” most of its measures have not been implemented even though road construction has proceeded. They claim that failure to implement the IPP has left the Chiquitanos unprotected from the negative impacts of the Project, and that the Bank has failed to comply with the Indigenous Peoples Policy (OB/BP 4.10).
