What is the significance of sharing the Inspection Panel’s Investigation Report with Requesters?

The World Bank Board of Executive Directors completed its review of the Inspection Panel in 2020 and put in place a number of changes to the Bank’s social and environmental accountability framework. Those changes are enshrined in the Inspection Panel Resolution and the World Bank Accountability Mechanism Resolution, both of which were approved by the Board on September 8, 2020. In this short video, Inspection Panel Chair Imrana Jalal discusses the importance of one of those changes: allowing the Panel’s Investigation Report to be shared with Requesters before it is considered by the Board.
