How will the World Bank safeguards affect your country? | Bank Information Center: Monitoring the projects and policies of the World Bank, IMF and other international financial institutions

How will the World Bank safeguards affect your country?

New papers show how the World Bank safeguards work with local laws.
Though they are essential in order to preserve the well-being of people around the world, the way the safeguards fit in with local laws and pre-existing policies can be messy and complex. In order to help our allies to better understand how the safeguards work in their countries, the World Resources Institute has commissioned a series of papers with support from the C.S. Mott Foundation, highlighting the current difficulties of navigating a complex web of domestic legislation, international agreements, voluntary standards, and Bank policies.
