Complaint

IAM: Inspection Panel (Panel)

ID: 155

Date Filed: Oct. 18, 2021

Date Closed: Nov. 30, 2021

Status: Closed Without Outputs

Description

The Request for Inspection was submitted by 193 community members living in the Project area who authorized the Twerwaneho Listeners’ Club, a Ugandan human rights organization, to represent them. The Requesters asked the Panel to keep their identities confidential. The Requesters alleged that the Project would perpetuate severe social harm and exacerbate serious human rights violations of communities and Project beneficiaries. The Requesters alleged that the Project implementing agency—the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA)—had historically carried out human rights violations in the Project area and would continue to do so in future. The Requesters claimed that the Project failed to identify this underlying conflict between UWA and the communities during stakeholder consultations, which they claimed were not carried out comprehensively. The Requesters alleged that World Bank support to UWA had legitimized UWA’s approach and actions, and would cause future harm to communities by intensifying this conflict. They also claimed that the Project was implemented on land taken from them by UWA, thereby legitimizing this land grab, which the Requesters claimed was unlawful.
