The 2019 Project Accountability Report summarises the activities undertaken by the Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) during the 2019 reporting period. It describes how the PCM has handled cases of alleged environmental and social harm, finalised the five-year review of its operating policy, contributed to good international practice and promoted awareness of the PCM’s mandate through outreach, training and knowledge-sharing activities.
The PCM is the accountability mechanism of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). It is responsible for the independent review of environmental, social and public disclosure concerns regarding Bank-financed projects to promote project performance and contribute to institutional learning.
