Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCESO A LA INFORMACIÓN

A diferencia de muchas otras instituciones financieras de desarrollo, DFC actualmente no tiene una política de acceso a la información.

Según la Ley de Libertad de Información de los Estados Unidos (FOIA, por sus siglas en inglés), la DFC está obligada a responder a solicitudes de registros de la Agencia formuladas razonablemente. Sin embargo, DFC puede aplicar exenciones de divulgación a ciertos tipos de información y puede cobrar tarifas por responder a las solicitudes. DFC tiene un oficial de FOIA designado que está capacitado en cómo responder a las solicitudes e implementar la ley. Puede obtener más información sobre cómo presentar una solicitud FOIA en: https://www.dfc.gov/foia

MECANISMO DE RENDICIÓN DE CUENTAS DE LA CORPORACIÓN FINANCIERA INTERNACIONAL PARA EL DESARROLLO DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS (DFC)

La Oficina de Responsabilidad es una oficina independiente que se ocupa de las quejas sobre cuestiones ambientales o sociales relacionadas con los proyectos apoyados por DFC. La oficina brinda a las comunidades la oportunidad de revisar y abordar sus inquietudes de manera independiente. Si presenta una queja a la Oficina de Responsabilidad, esta puede ayudarlo ya sea tratando de abordar sus problemas facilitando un diálogo de resolución de problemas entre usted y quienes implementan el proyecto y/o investigando si la DFC cumplió con sus políticas para prevenir problemas ambientales, daños sociales, derechos humanos y laborales.
