Advisory
Through Advisory, CAO gathers insights from dispute resolution and compliance cases to catalyze learning and help enhance IFC and MIGA performance on key environmental and social issues.
CAO provides advice to IFC, MIGA and the World Bank Group Board to improve IFC and MIGA’s systemic performance on environmental and social sustainability. We draw on CAO experience in addressing complaints and good international practices to reduce the risk of harm to people and the environment.
