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 de financiación del desarrollo, DFC no tiene actualmente una política de acceso a la información.

En virtud de la Ley de Libertad de Información de los Estados Unidos (FOIA), la DFC está obligada a responder a las solicitudes formuladas razonablemente para obtener registros de la Agencia. Sin embargo, la DFC puede aplicar exenciones de divulgación a ciertos tipos de información y puede cobrar tarifas por responder a las solicitudes. La DFC tiene un funcionario de FOIA designado que está capacitado para responder a las solicitudes e implementar la ley.

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 la DFC. La oficina ofrece a las comunidades la oportunidad de que sus inquietudes sean analizadas y abordadas de forma independiente. Si presenta una queja ante 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 daños ambientales, sociales, laborales y de derechos humanos.
