Justice delayed in Nepal: The EIB Group Complaints Mechanism and the Tanahu hydropower project
Case study | 30 April 2026

Bankwatch, together with the Community Empowerment and Social Justice Network (CEMSOJ) and the International Accountability Project, presents a case study on the Tanahu hydropower project in Nepal, in which the current EIB-CM has proven ineffective. The organisations also make recommendations for the ongoing review of the Complaints Mechanism Policy.
