Project Description

If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the IADB, the overall objective of this project is to generate studies and tools related to the inclusive and sustainable economic, social, and environmental development of Indigenous peoples in the Amazon region of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Suriname. The knowledge produced will help these countries identify sustainable development solutions aligned with the needs and expectations of diverse indigenous groups, as well as assess whether their progress is culturally relevant. Specifically, the project will generate relevant knowledge products on: a) conservation and development indicators that align with indigenous realities, b) the systematization of traditional indigenous knowledge as a foundation for designing indigenous-led project proposals, c) the implementation of an intercultural dialogue mechanism among development stakeholders to address bottlenecks identified in projects involving indigenous peoples; and, d) the dissemination of the knowledge generated. The main beneficiaries of this TC will be several national-level indigenous organizations and their represented communities across the seven participating countries, as well as national governments, which will receive new knowledge and tools to support their work with Amazonian Indigenous Peoples.

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.

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).
