For every Category A and Category B Project the EPFI requires the client to show effective, ongoing, structured and culturally appropriate Stakeholder Engagement with Affected Communities and Workers, plus Other Stakeholders where relevant. Where Affected Communities face potentially significant adverse impacts, the client runs an Informed Consultation and Participation process tailored to the risks, the development phase, local language preferences, community decision-making and what vulnerable or disadvantaged groups need, free of manipulation, interference, coercion and intimidation. The client makes the Assessment Documentation available locally in the local language, documents the results and agreed actions, and discloses risks early and in any case before construction starts. Projects affecting Indigenous Peoples always go through Informed Consultation and Participation and must respect their rights in national law; in the special circumstances of IFC Performance Standard 7 (traditional or customary lands and resources, relocation, critical cultural heritage, commercial use of cultural heritage) Free, Prior and Informed Consent is needed, and a qualified independent consultant evaluates the process and its outcome. If FPIC is uncertain after documented good faith negotiation, the EPFI decides, with the consultant, whether this is a justified deviation and whether more corrective action is needed.
This control maps to 2 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 2 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
