CEE Bankwatch, a civil society organisation (CSO), has called on the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to have more courage in addressing CSOs’ concerns about environmental and social risks and human rights violations.
Their comments came following the announcement by the EBRD of a new CSO steering committee to enhance civil society engagement. The multilateral development bank is also revising its good governance policies, including its Environmental and Social Policy (ESP), which guides its commitments when it comes to investment projects and safeguards.
