What's New? March 1 deadline for comments on the World Bank’s proposed Environmental and Social Framework.
The World Bank’s consultation on the proposed Environmental and Social Framework closes on March 1. Please submit any comments by that deadline to safeguardconsult@worldbank.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
Safeguards consultations reach China On December 8 and 9, the World Bank consulted with representatives of the Chinese government and Non-Governmental Organizations. Consultation participants discussed the consistency of the proposed framework with China's policies and procedures, dam safety, differentiating environmental and social assessment, forced evictions, and protections for ethnic minorities. Next stops for the review: Japan, Indonesia, and Brazil.
Safeguards for Indigenous Peoples Jennifer Corpuz from Tebtebba and World Bank Indigenous Peoples Advisor Luis Felipe Duchicela discuss how to protect Indigenous Peoples in World Bank-financed projects in Berlin, Germany, on November 13. The proposed Environmental and Social Framework introduces FPIC and protections for peoples in voluntary isolation and pastoralists. The safeguards team is now headed to Brazil, South Africa, Bangladesh, Paraguay, and Nepal.
"Don’t drop the hot issues" Keep working on the difficult issues—this advice comes from Matthew Bliss of Cordaid. At a consultation meeting with civil society and private sector in Brussels on November 10, he said about human rights and other politically sensitive issues: “These crucial issues need to be discussed on a regular basis. They need to stay on the agenda. If you have problems addressing these issues now in this policy review, you have to consider them again later. Don’t drop them.” Next stop: The Safeguards team will head to Oslo and Berlin for multi-stakeholder consultations on November 12-13, 2014. First Draft of Environmental and Social Framework The World Bank is preparing a new Environmental and Social Framework. The Board has authorized the release of a proposal document for consultation purposes to seek feedback on its content. It has not endorsed this content, and the Committee on Development Effectiveness and the Board will consider the proposal after consultations. Click "Your Feedback" to submit comments.
Safeguards for Ethnic Minorities Phu Thi Lan (Pa Then, right) and Ly Thi Ngay (Xa Pho, left) discuss safeguards for ethnic minorities in World Bank-financed projects in Hanoi on October 28. Tan Thi Gia (H’Mong) sings a song wishing for the World Bank delegation’s health. Her statement: “The ethnic minorities live in poor conditions. We need more attention and investment in transport, livelihood. Many ethnic minority women in Vietnam are illiterate. They do not know about the laws on gender equality and also don’t know how to protect themselves against domestic violence.”

On July 30, 2014 the World Bank Board’s Executive Committee on Development Effectiveness (CODE) authorized the release of a proposal document for consultation purposes to seek feedback on its content. It has not endorsed the content of the draft, and CODE and the Board will consider the proposed document following such consultations. A background paper was developed for CODE’s discussion of the proposed framework, which can be accessed here. Also see our press release for more information. For questions and comments, please email us. Please also take a look at our Questions & Answers. The World Bank is currently developing a detailed consultation schedule. A tentative schedule of country consultations is posted here. If you need more information, please contact the safeguards review team at safeguardconsult@worldbank.org.
People and the environment are at the center of all our work. Through the revision of our environmental and social safeguard policies, the World Bank is ramping up its standards to ensure the delivery of an environmental and social framework which is more efficient and comprehensive; includes a strengthened approach to the management of environmental and social risks that will support sustainable development through standards that are clear to those impacted by the projects we finance, those who implement, and those holding us to account.
In late 2012 the World Bank launched a multi-phased process to review and update its environmental and social safeguard policies. The multi-stage review, supported by several periods of global consultations with stakeholders, is being undertaken in response to the need to better address environmental and social issues that countries face today, to deliver better environmental and social outcomes in the projects and programs the Bank supports, to ensure treatment and coverage of environmental and social impacts and risks, to strengthen the ability to monitor and supervise actual impacts on people and the environment, and to better meet the varied needs of borrowers, and help strengthen country frameworks and institutions to deliver sustainable results on the ground. The World Bank’s safeguard policies are at the center of our efforts to protect people and the environment, and to achieve our goals to end extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity in a sustainable manner in our partner countries. The first draft proposal of a new Environment and Social Framework has been prepared with the aim to deliver efficiently on the two goals and to support more sustainable use of resources, promote social inclusion, discourage discrimination, help address new development challenges, and be mindful of the economic burdens development can place on future generations.
