Development Finance Accountability Mechanisms

About this grant

This two-year project will engage leaders in the development finance field in a collective initiative to evaluate and re-imagine accountability mechanisms at international development finance institutions, including the World Bank and International Finance Corporation. Working in collaboration with current and former accountability analysts and civil society advocates, Peregrine Environmental Consulting, a public interest consulting firm, will gather historical data, produce two books and a series of opinion pieces, and carry out a detailed set of oral histories. The information will be shared, discussed, and refined in public lectures and conferences, as well as a podcast. Teaching materials will be developed for university use and the entire project will be documented in a publicly available research archive.
