2. Policies of Other Agencies

25. In recent years, a number of multilateral and bilateral agencies have prepared and adopted resettlement policies and/or guidelines that are similar to those of the World Bank. Thus, the Inter-American Development Bank adopted a set of resettlement guidelines in 1990. In 1991, the development ministers of all 17 members of the Development Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) approved the adoption of uniform resettlement guidelines by their countries' aid agencies.¹² The Overseas Development Administration in the United Kingdom has adopted guidelines that are essentially the same as those of the World Bank. The Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan issued checklists on involuntary resettlement based on OD 4.30. Japan International Cooperation Agency was preparing its own technical guidelines for resettlement with World Bank advice. Although a number of agencies have prepared and adopted resettlement policies/ guidelines, data on their experiences are not readily available.
