Insights on Remedy: The Remedy Gap

Summary

This CAO Advisory Note is part of a series that seeks to inform IFC and MIGA’s approach to remedial action to address potential or actual harm that may unintentionally arise in the development process. Drawing from CAO’s casework, this note explores the “remedy gap” that occurs when harm to people arising from the adverse impacts of IFC/MIGA projects is not remedied through the actions of IFC/MIGA or their clients. It highlights contributing factors and presents findings and recommendations to help IFC and MIGA close the remedy gap.
