Emerging Lessons Series No. 4: Consultation, Participation & Disclosure of Information

Accountability and transparency are critical to upholding the highest standards of international development. The Inspection Panel, the World Bank’s Independent Accountability Mechanism, has embarked on a series of reports intended to identify lessons that have emerged from its caseload since the mid-1990s with the goal of building institutional knowledge, enhancing accountability and contributing to more effective development. The objective of this event is to identify lessons that can be learned from Panel cases involving consultation, participation and disclosure of information issues and what those lessons mean as the Bank implements its new Environmental and Social Framework. This video is the recording of the hour-long session of the panel discussion.
