6 of 6 questions answered from the record
What happened
The record, in order.
Development banks run independent bodies that take complaints from people harmed by projects the banks finance: the World Bank Inspection Panel (set up in 1993), the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) for the World Bank's private-sector arms IFC and MIGA, and similar bodies at Asian and African development banks. The banks present these as high standards and independent oversight.
In Kenya, about 7,000 Sengwer were evicted from the Embobut forest in January 2014. In May 2014 the Inspection Panel found that the risk of eviction had been foreseeable but not identified in the forest project the Bank approved in 2007, and that safeguards had not been properly applied. The Bank's president welcomed the finding that the Bank was not linked to the evictions. the sources reviewed give no compensation.
In June 2016 the EU began a €31 million programme with the Kenyan government to protect the 'water tower' forests of the Cherangany Hills and Mount Elgon. On 16 January 2018 Kenya Forest Service guards shot dead Robert Kirotich, a 41-year-old Sengwer herder, in the Embobut forest during an eviction raid. The EU suspended the programme the next day and closed it in 2020. the sources reviewed give no prosecution.
In April and May 2024 the Kenya Forest Service ran a 170-officer operation, 'Imarisha Msitu', in Embobut. The ministry said more than 600 families were removed. The Kenya Forest Service said it had paid 2,874 families KSh 410,000 each in 2013 and that the Sengwer had returned in breach of a court order; the community said it had not received the payment.
At Tata Mundra, India, the IFC's CAO found non-compliance and the sources reviewed give no remedy step by IFC. In Cambodia the Inspection Panel found that a $24 million land-titling project, financed by the Bank, excluded Boeung Kak residents from registration and contributed to the eviction of about 4,250 families; the Bank froze new lending to Cambodia in 2011. The CAO acknowledged a 'remedy gap' in April 2023.
