World Bank Grievance Redress Mechanism Checklist


This Checklist provides guidance for the Borrower on the application of the Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs), which form part of the World Bank’s 2016 Environmental and Social Framework. Checklists help to illustrate the requirements of the ESSs and propose sample approaches to implement some of the requirements of the ESSs; they are not Bank policy, nor are they mandatory. Checklists do not substitute for the need to exercise sound judgment in making project decisions. In case of any inconsistency or conflict between the Checklists and the ESSs, the provisions of the ESSs prevail.
