The World Bank and
Democratic AccountabilityCivil society actors
have been advocating for greater World Bank accountability for at least
three decades. Alnoor Ebrahim, Associate Professor, Harvard Business

successful in expanding accountability at the project and policy levels,
particularly through the establishment and enforcement of social and
environmental safeguards, improved transparency and consultation
requirements, and the creation of complaint and response mechanisms.

Society" Friday, May 1, 9:30-11:00 a.m., Persimmon Room, IMU.
