Description


IFC — a member of the World Bank Group — is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities. Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.

MIGA promotes cross-border investment in developing countries by providing guarantees (political risk insurance and credit enhancement) to investors and lenders.

The CAO’s mandate is to assist the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA)—the private sector lending and insurance arms of the World Bank Group—to address complaints from people affected by IFC and MIGA activities in a manner that is fair, objective, and constructive and to enhance the E&S outcomes of activities in which these institutions play a role.

CAO’s Dispute Resolution Function works with stakeholders to help resolve grievances about the social and environmental impacts of IFC/MIGA projects. Through dispute resolution, we provide an independent forum for communities and companies to address concerns together and seek joint solutions. This voluntary process is facilitated by our dispute resolution specialists with the support of local mediators, who vest ownership in the process and outcomes with the parties. We document good practice and learning from our work resolving development disputes to benefit practitioners, IFC and MIGA, private sector, and broader development community.
