What can individuals do if they feel their interests have been or could be directly harmed by a project financed by the World Bank?

The Inspection Panel is an independent body created in 1993 by a resolution of the Bank's Board of Executive Directors and is the first of its kind to give voice to private citizens in an international context. Private citizens who believe that they or their interests have been or could be directly harmed by a project financed by the World Bank can contact the Inspection Panel. For further details, visit the Inspection Panel Website.
