Private Actors Description
A Private Actor is a non-governmental body or entity that is the borrower or client of a development project, which can include corporations, private equity and banks. This describes the private actors and their roles in relation to the project, when private actor information is disclosed or has been further researched.

De acuerdo con el IADB, La transacción consiste en un Financiamiento de Recuperación Contingente para Inversión (“CRIG” por sus siglas en inglés) en favor de Crediservir (la “CAC”) para fomentar el acceso a fuentes de energía limpia para actividades productivas en organizaciones rurales a través de crédito verdes, para aumentar la resiliencia de la población rural y agropecuaria en zonas desatendidas en el departamento de Santander y Norte de Santander, en Colombia. Los beneficiarios de los créditos verdes serán aproximadamente 120 familias, organizaciones de productores de bajos ingresos, dedicadas a actividades agropecuarias.


Crediservir contará con el apoyo técnico de la DGRV - Confederación Alemana de Cooperativas quien apoyará en el diseño de los créditos verdes. Los créditos verdes se espera que se orienten a la compra e instalación de tecnologías limpias para la producción de energía limpia tales como paneles solares y biodigestores, y otras innovaciones con impacto ambiental positivo relacionadas con: i) sistemas de bombeo de agua; ii) sistemas de riego; iii) renovación de cultivos.


La Debida diligencia ambiental y social (DDAS) consistió en una reunión virtual con el equipo técnico de DGRV y revisión de escritorio de documentación compartida por Crediservir.

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.

No contact information provided at the time of disclosure.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB

The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
