蒙古矿业项目延期世界银行支持调查

In February 2015, community representatives and local organisations in Mongolia and Russia filed a complaint with the World Bank’s accountability mechanism, the Inspection Panel, regarding the World Bank’s $25 million Mining Infrastructure Investment Support project, providing technical assistance aimed at facilitating infrastructure investments to support mining operations in Mongolia.

小型资助子项目评估研究,包括Shuren水电站。投诉提出了关于苏格达河流域和贝加尔湖,世界遗产的潜在不可逆转环境,社会和经济影响的担忧。与世界银行的员工引用“多次参与”,申诉人指出“我们认为他们的回答导致了我们的程序和实质性问题的可接受决议,包括缺乏项目文件缺乏,质量差design and practices of stakeholder consultations, weak assessment of risks, questionable criteria for sub-project selection, and lack of assessment of viable alternatives.”They concluded: “we are deeply concerned that the Bank’s involvement in these preparatory studies will serve as the launching pad for investments in the actual physical infrastructure in the future.”

In a July 2015 statement, the IPN admitted that project-related activities could violate Bank policies , but deferred a decision on a potential investigation, concluding that “the next stages in project implementation provide ample opportunities to address the requesters’ concerns and to introduce the necessary corrective measures.” It stated that it will revisit the case in a years’ time after assessing the progress of the environmental and social impact assessment “as well as a determination regarding the quality of the consultation process at that time.”
