Reflections on 5 Years with the Inspection Panel

​Zeinab Bashir Elbakri completes her five-year term with the Inspection Panel on August 31. In a conversation with Panel Executive Secretary Dilek Barlas, Zeinab, a national of Sudan, discusses her reasons for joining the Panel in 2012, what has surprised her about the job, misconceptions about the Panel, the investigation that made the greatest impression on her, and what the Bank’s new Environmental and Social Framework might mean for the work of the Panel. A video of that discussion can be accessedhere.
