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.

MECANISMO DE RENDICION DE CUENTAS DEL BID

El Mecanismo Independiente de Consulta e Investigación (MICI) es el mecanismo de denuncia independiente y el organismo de investigación para las personas que han sido o pueden verse afectadas negativamente por un Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) o la Corporación Interamericana de Inversiones (CII) -proyecto financiado. Si presenta una queja ante el MICI, es posible que lo ayuden a abordar los problemas que planteó a través de un proceso de resolución de disputas con quienes implementan el proyecto y/o mediante una investigación para evaluar si el BID o la CII están siguiendo sus propias políticas para prevenir o mitigar el daño a las personas o al medio ambiente. Puede presentar una queja enviando un correo electrónico a MICI@iadb.org. Puede conocer más sobre el MICI y cómo presentar una denuncia en http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (en inglés) o http://www.iadb.org/es/ mici/ mic, 1752.
