NEW EPISODE
Is the EBRD ready to take full responsibility for its investments and adopt policies that prevent human rights abuses?
Over the past decades, Bankwatch with its civil society partners have been monitoring the development projects financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Our experience has shown that the Bank’s existing approach to human rights due diligence does not effectively prevent human rights violations.
As the Bank is revising its good governance policies, it has a unique opportunity to change this and lead the way in improving human rights due diligence among development banks. In this episode, Nina Lesikhina (CEE Bankwatch Network), Mark Fodor (Defenders in Development) and Megan Pearson (Accountability Counsel) share their insights about what is wrong with the EBRD policies and what needs to change.
We're Bankwatch
We expose the risks of international public finance and bring critical updates from the ground. We believe that the billions of public money should work for people and the environment.
