Why is it important that the Inspection Panel provides advisory services?

During its 2017-2020 review of the Inspection Panel, the World Bank Board of Executive Directors 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: formalizing the Panel’s advisory function.
