МОНИТОРИНГИ ЛОИҲА Latest News Sign the 1M Petition ADB Project Tracker Media NGO Forum on ADB Comments: Safeguard Compliance and Accountability Mechanism Framework for Investments Supported by Financial Intermediaries In Forum’s experience, there are several fundamental problems in ensuring FI Accountability to Safeguards – Project cycle bound timely release of project information in a meaningful manner for local peoples FIs need to ensure that environmental and social due diligence is implemented at the highest standards by their clients On issues of non-compliance, an independent and responsive redress mechanism has to be in place to ensure remedy for affected peoples. Keeping these three principles in mind the following comments have been made to the AMF- In the introductory section of the AMF, the lack of implementation of Equator Principles has been cited as a clear gap in FI accountability. We would recommend that the shift from guidelines for FIs to binding requirements should be emphasized in this section to strengthen the conceptual framework for this AMF. In line with comments from Accountability Counsel, we re-echo the need for learning to be upfront in this document for the AMF (Section 12, pg 4). For the AMF to work effectively it has to be able to learn from each case and make the necessary reforms to strengthen implementation. The issue of lessons learned and feedback loops built into the AMF system to help reform the structure will be critical to bringing diverse types of FI’s to compliance. On the issue of FI Sub-project categorization (pg.8) there is a need to ensure that a comprehensive ESIA is conducted to ensure the ‘Big B’ Category projects are deemed Category A. This is a potential risk especially for Infrastructure Funds, examples can be drawn from the Emerging Asia Fund of the AIIB and IFC, which has been tapped by Summit Power Group to retrofit several coal plants and build 4 new power generation facilities, which are fossil fuel based. The impacts from these projects will be long term and immediate and will require comprehensive ESIAs to ensure Safeguards are implemented. FIs and there parent funding institutions such as commercial banks and multilateral banks should have a strict monitoring role over their clients on environmental and social due diligence. The current practice of client-led safeguarding and self- reporting is no longer a viable model to ensure that AMF objectives are reached, thus we strongly recommend that monitoring and evaluation roles by FIs and their parent financial institutional investors should have an overseeing function. This is maybe done through further elaborating on a governance framework for FIs and their FI Clients, with detailed monitoring requirements in place. We are noticing for both ADB and AIIB projects that the Grievance Redress Mechanisms are often not effective at the local level. For MDBs it has been a real challenge to ensure that local GRMs have worked effectively; this will be a bigger challenge for an FI client to ensure. In this case, we recommend that project level GRMs should be – Meaningfully accessible for local communities Ensure complainants protection from backlash and retaliation Ensure remedial response The paper recognizes the shortcomings of GRMs - "However, GRMs are often poorly designed or implemented, and thus create mistrust and conflict between communities and the project executing agency. Finally, it must be noted that project-level GRM is not a substitute for an accountability mechanism at the institutional (financial intermediary) level, because the GRM cannot determine whether the financial intermediary has complied with its own environmental and social policies, standards, and procedures." Thus it has to be explicitly stated that accessing local GRMs should not be made a pre- requisite for local communities to trigger the Accountability Mechanism for an FI project. As mentioned earlier the fundamental problem with FI non-compliance to Safeguards is the lack of Time Bound Disclosure of project information to local people. At present local communities have no way of assessing whether FI subprojects are indeed FIs and what policies and mechanisms are entailed in their operations. From a community perspective, the following information has to be provided pre-project approval – Area and scale of the project Clear description of project cycle, construction, environmental and social impacts Clear assessment of project benefits sharing, compensations and allocations Clear understanding on rights, privileges and redress mechanisms for communities in cases of violations. All of language needs and ensuring that poor and vulnerable groups such as women, children and people with disabilities are made aware of all project related information. This is where the governance structure of this AMF will prove to be critical to ensure that Clients are complying with the disclosure needs at the local level. Provisions should also be made upstream in the project cycle to ensure that information disclosure needs are all met before a project is approved for implementation. The Forum re-echos Accountability Counsels recommendation on following the best practice example from the Green Climate Fund - which works with FIs, or accredited entities – The GCF has adopted a high degree of disclosure in line with international best practice, including time-bound disclosure of crucial project information – such as environmental and social impact assessments – ahead of approval. The degree and timing of disclosure are calibrated according to the risk profile of the investment: with more and better disclosure for the highest risk (Category A). The following excerpts from its 2016 Information Disclosure Policy describe the degree of disclosure: “Environmental and social reports. With respect to the project and program funding proposals that have an environmental or social impact, the Accredited Entities (AE’s) shall disclose and announce to the public and, via the Secretariat, to the Board and Active Observers: in case of Category A projects, the Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA) and an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) at least 120 days in advance of the AE’s or GCF’s Board decision, whichever is earlier; in the case of Category I-1 programs, the Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS)2 at least 120 days in advance of the AE’s or GCF’s Board decision, whichever is earlier; in the case of Category B projects, the ESIA3 and an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)4 at least 30 days in advance of the AE’s or GCF’s Board decision, whichever is earlier; and in the case of Category I-2 programs, the ESMS at least 30 days in advance of the AE’s or GCF’s Board decision, whichever is earlier.” The Forum recognizes the independence embedded in the structure proposed in this AMF and would make the following recommendations on the mechanism proposed- In the submission of a complaint, there should be a provision for complaints to be filed by international and regional representatives as authorized representatives for local and in-country representatives who are unable to step forward due to security risk and conflict scenarios. In cases where the IRM has proved that there have been issues on non-compliance, then all consultations between the client and the community MUST have the IRM present to ensure power equity in information exchange. This has to be an integral part of ensuring that a complaint process and remedial action are done objectively. In it’s entirety this AMF is an innovative and needed effort in holding FIs accountable.

МОНИТОРИНГИ ЛОИҲА Latest News Latest Publication ADB Project Tracker Latest Events/Activities Media The Forum network takes the position that locking member countries into reliance on new fossil fuel infrastructure, subject to volatile international markets, is no less than an environmentally, socially, and economically irresponsible investment choice given the ADB's limited resources (both in terms of financing for direct projects and technical advice as well as intermediary financial support). The network remains vigilant that the ADB will now target problematic projects such as large hydro, waste to energy incinerators, and geothermal for future finance. The Forum also advocates for restricting the criteria for financing Large hydro projects which have severe impacts on local communities in terms of displacement and environmental destruction.

Open Call Background Asian People's Call Venue Session Тағйирёбии иқлим босуръат шиддат мегирад ва ба фалокати ҷаҳонӣ табдил меёбад, агар оқибатҳои он фавран пешгирӣ карда нашавад. Такон барои маҳдуд кардани сатҳи сайёра то 2 то 1,5 дараҷа ва бӯҳрони иқлимӣ инчунин ба масъалаҳои ҷиддии амнияти озуқаворӣ, нарасидани оби тозаи ошомиданӣ ва аз даст додани гуногунии биологӣ алоқаманданд. Дар соли 2015 Созмони Милали Муттаҳид баъзе аз онҳоро ба Ҳадафҳои Рушди Устувор бо ҳадафи дастаҷамъона аз байн бурдани камбизоатӣ, мубориза бо нобаробарӣ, ҳифзи сайёра ва таъмини шукуфоии ҳама шомил кардааст. Аммо бӯҳроне, ки ҳоло мо бо он рӯбарӯ ҳастем, дар низоми иқтисодӣ, ки аз ниҳодҳои молии байналмилалӣ, бонкҳо ва корпоратсияҳое, ки ҳуқуқи инсонро беэътиноӣ мекунанд, ҳаёт ва воситаҳои зиндагии мардумро зери хатар мегузоранд ва ба хотири фоида захираҳои Заминро кам мекунанд, чашм мепӯшанд, боз ҳам шадидтар мешавад. Дар ҳоле, ки капитализм ва идеологияи бозори озоди он то ҳол тафаккури ҳукуматҳо ва элитаро ба худ ҷалб мекунанд, таҷрибаи фалокатбори сиёсати даҳсолаҳои неолибералӣ хеле даҳшатовар аст. Дар миёни ин бесарусомонӣ, маҳз фақиртарин бахшҳои фақир ва канормондаи ҷомеа, ки бори гарони ин беадолатиҳои иҷтимоӣ ва иқтисодиро ба дӯш гирифтанд, ки аз зиндагии шоиста маҳрум шуданд. Аз 1,2 миллиард нафар одамон дар саросари ҷаҳон, ки мо аз соли 1990 инҷониб худро аз камбизоатӣ раҳо карда метавонем, 1,1 миллиард нафарашон дар ҳолати «пешрафт» зиндагӣ мекарданд, дар коҳиш додани фоизи онҳое, ки дар камбизоатии шадид зиндагӣ мекунанд, ба таври назаррас «пешрафт» шудааст ва нобаробарии даромад афзоиш меёбад. душвор бошад. Аз соли 1966 инҷониб, Бонки Осиёии Рушд (БОР) ба гумони он ки он як ниҳодест, ки барои озод кардани минтақа аз камбизоатӣ машғул аст. Тибқи маълумоти Бонк, он дар давоми ним асри фаъолияташ дар Осиё ва Уқёнуси Ором беш аз 250 миллиард доллари амрикоиро ба инфрасохтор, тадқиқот ва табодули дониш сафарбар кардааст. БОР бешармона ситонидани қарзҳои ғайриқонунӣ ба кишварҳои узвашро идома медиҳад, ҳатто агар он натиҷаҳои фалокатовар лоиҳа ва сиёсат дошта бошад. Осиё ва Уқёнуси Ором танҳо.

БОР инчунин дар пешниҳоди ҳалли бардурӯғ дар лоиҳаҳои маъруфи худ - инфрасохтор дар соҳаи тандурустӣ, маориф ва кишоварзӣ ва густариши бештари бахши хусусӣ ва лоиҳаҳои ҳамгироии минтақавӣ дар портфели қарзии худ саҳм мегузорад. Баррасии ахири Сиёсати иртибототи ҷамъиятии БОР (PCP) низ аз чораҳои шаффофи шаффофе, ки аз он интизор буданд, нодида гирифт. Маҳз дар ҳамин замина аст, ки Бонки Осиёии Рушд дар мандати умумии худ оид ба рафъи камбизоатӣ ноком шуд ва ҳатто ба афзоиши нобаробарӣ ва бӯҳрони иқлимӣ дар Осиё саҳм гузоштааст. сармоягузориҳои ба истилоҳ энергияи тоза, Анҷумани созмонҳои ғайридавлатӣ оид ба БОР дар тӯли бисту панҷ сол ҳамчун як шабакаи мустақили ҷомеаи шаҳрвандӣ, ки дар Осиё таҳти роҳбарии Осиё қарор дорад, сиёсатҳо ва лоиҳаҳои БОРро, ки таъсири бадкунанда доранд, фаъолона назорат мекунад. Форум вазъияти хатарнокеро эътироф мекунад, ки Осиё дар шароити афзояндаи нобаробарӣ, қарзҳои ғайриқонунӣ, таназзули муҳити зист, муҳоҷиршавӣ, нақзи ҳуқуқи башар ва афзоиши осебпазирии мардуми камбизоъат рӯбарӯ аст. Форум инчунин иқтидори аъзои худро тавассути тадқиқот ва таблиғоти сиёсӣ оид ба кафолатҳо тақвият дод. Он бо муборизаи аъзоёни худ, ки ба адолат дар баланд бардоштани шикоятҳои ҷамоатҳои аз лоиҳа зарардида ба Бонк даъват мекарданд, мубориза мебурд. Аз замони таъсисаш дар соли 1992, Форуми созмонҳои ғайридавлатӣ оид ба БОР ҳуқуқҳои ҷамоатҳои маҳаллӣ, ки аз сиёсатҳои БОР ва лоиҳаҳои бузурги инфрасохторӣ осеб дидаанд, фаъолона ҳимоят мекард. Он дар мониторинги БОР пешсаф буд ва онро масъулиятнок, шаффоф ва барои назорати ҷамъиятӣ кушод. ​ ​ ​ ​
