The World Bank has publicly released the second draft of the proposed social and environmental safeguards following an extensive public consultation phase with shareholders and stakeholders that began last year with the release of the first draft.
“This revised draft is the result of a robust — in fact, an unprecedented — consultation with World Bank shareholders and stakeholders,” said Hartwig Schafer, World Bank vice president for operational policy and country services. “The level of engagement and the caliber of feedback has been excellent, which shows in the revised draft.”
The new version differs from the first draft in a number of ways, according to a World Bank news release.
