FMO — the Dutch development bank — is relying on an access to information system with serious flaws.
In 2020, International Accountability Project (IAP) and FUNDEPS analyzed the disclosure practices of FMO, the Dutch development bank. We found serious shortcomings in FMO’s current access to information system. Out of a dataset of 241 projects disclosed from January 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020 on FMO’s website, our key findings revealed that:

Amsterdam — February 10, 2021
The Dutch development bank FMO is not sufficiently transparent about the projects it finances and is therefore acting contrary to its mandate.
This is evident from a new report published by the International Accountability Project (IAP) and the Foundation for the Development of Sustainable Policies (FUNDEPS), endorsed by 28 organizations including Both ENDS, SOMO, and Oxfam Novib. The research assesses FMO’s disclosure and access to information practices for investments proposed between January 1, 2019, and May 31, 2020. …

Проект Международной Ответственности(IAP) с радостью делится тремя новыми материалами, посвященными теме проведения исследований при ведущей роли общин, которые являются частью нашей новой серии Глобальных практических руководств для общин.
Данные материалы содержат следующее:
For every development initiative, people should be at the center as active participants and beneficiaries of the right to development. This is well corroborated by Jessica, a Community Organizer from Manila, the Philippines who notes: “We understand the need to have our own plan and solutions to the issues confronting our community.”
As we wrote earlier this year, Jessica was part of the International Accountability Project’s first Global Advocacy Team Initiative which brought together 8 people from 8 countries to conduct local research and present policy proposals to change how development is done. The Team’s community-led research documented personal experiences…
The International Accountability Project (IAP) is excited to share the latest addition to our series of Global Community Action Guides — What is Development?
“Often, governments, companies or development banks declare that big projects (such as roads, mines, hydropower dams, or modern buildings) are necessary for the development of the whole country. They often call these ‘development plans’ or ‘development projects’.
Earlier this year, the Asian Development Bank withdrew its financial support for the Northern Province Sustainable Fisheries Development Project in Sri Lanka, effectively halting a years-long community-led effort to make funders accountable to community priorities. The project had a stated aim to revive the fisheries sector in the districts of Jaffna, Mannar, Mullaitivu, and Kilinochchi through the rebuilding of large-scale infrastructures such as harbors, anchorages, and associated facilities. The Government of Sri Lanka received a loan of 1.3 …
Развитие в любом его виде должно начинаться с приоритетов общины, а также с уважения прав человека и экологических прав. Общины должны играть ведущую роль в определении направлений своего развития.
Сегодняшние процессы развития разрабатываются, финансируются и реализуются способом, который зачастую не является ни всеобъемлющим, ни устойчивым и не полезным для тех, кто наиболее подвержен их воздействию. Большую часть проектов развития разрабатывают правительства и компании, и эти проекты, в свою очередь, финансируются со стороны банков развития и международных финансовых институтов. Организации гражданского общества и местное население не всегда руководят этим процессом и с ними редко проводят надлежащие консультации, во время которых они…
Development of any kind should start from a community’s priorities, and respect their environmental and human rights. Communities should play a leadership role in determining their own development.
Today’s development is currently designed, funded and implemented in a way that is often neither inclusive, sustainable nor beneficial to those most affected. Governments and companies design the majority of development projects which in turn are funded by development banks and international financial institutions. Civil society and communities rarely lead this process and are rarely meaningfully consulted about their ideas, priorities and visions, despite being the intended beneficiaries of these projects with…
