Accountability Mechanism
Listening to communities affected by ADB-assisted projects and enhancing development effectiveness
In May 2003, ADB approved a new accountability mechanism to replace
the previous Inspection Function. The
mechanism was established to provide better access for people adversely
affected by ADB-assisted projects to voice and seek solutions to
their problems and also report alleged violations of ADB's operational
policies and procedures.
The mechanism is also an effort to enhance ADB's development effectiveness
and project quality.
The ADB
Accountability Mechanism consists of two separate but related
functions:
- Consultation Phase - to assist people who are adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects to find solutions to their problems. It is led by ADB's Special Project Facilitator.
- Compliance Review Phase*
- to establish ADB's accountability in its operations by providing
a forum in which project-affected people (and in special circumstances,
any ADB Board member) can file requests for compliance review.
The Compliance Review Panel is responsible for this phase.
