ESG & Accountability To Communities
32. Assurance of community disclosure
Survey question
Does the DFI state if disclosure of the activity to projected-affected people was required?
If yes, then:
- Does the DFI state the date of community E&S disclosure?
- Does the DFI state the place of community E&S disclosure?
- Does the DFI state the method of community disclosure?
- Does the DFI state what documentation was disclosed?
- Does the DFI identify the language of disclosure to project-affected people?
- Does the DFI state if the presence of an independent accountability mechanism was disclosed and the method it was disclosed?
Definition
Assurance of community disclosure is defined as the DFI stating the date, place, method, and content of community disclosure of the funded activity. Community disclosure may be completed by the DFI, the client (or implementing partner), or by an identified independent third party.
It also includes whether the IAM and project-level grievance mechanism has been disclosed to project-affected people and the method in which this was done.
Additional definitions and notes
Assurance of community disclosure may be located in supplementary E&S documentation such as a stakeholder engagement plan (SEP).
