"Civil Society Calls on AIIB to Develop an Accountability Mechanism", 6 Feb 2017

The AIIB approved $1.7 billion in financing for nine projects in 2016, but still does not have a mechanism to address concerns from people who are affected by those projects.

In early February 2017, sixteen civil society organizations called on the AIIB’s Director-General for Compliance, Effectiveness, and Integrity to conduct a public consultation process on a future accountability mechanism. In the letter, civil society recommended a set of measures to ensure a robust public consultation process focused on feedback from the communities and local organizations that will ultimately be the users of the mechanism.
