More than money: Development banks must strengthen human rights safeguards
Study | 6 May 2024
Each year, public development banks make vital decisions on the financing of hundreds of development cooperation projects and business activities around the world in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At the 2022 Finance in Common Summit in Abidjan, five public development banks issued a statement in which they recognised their ‘special role and responsibility in raising the stakes of the human rights-based approach to development’.
This comparative analysis, produced by CEE Bankwatch Network and the Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), identifies existing good practices and policy provisions for integrating human rights considerations into the assessment and management of projects funded by these banks, advocating for the alignment of banking policies, standards, and procedures with human rights standards.
