More than just a few bad apples: If public engagement matters, why isn’t the EBRD tracking it?

Although the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has a mandate to support the transition to democracy, data evaluating how well it performs this role remains scarce. Involving people affected by development projects in decision-making processes is an essential part of this transition, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. However, the EBRD’s reporting on its engagement with the public is limited.
