dc.typeWorking paper
dcterms.abstract20 years ago, the Inspection Panel was founded as a mechanism of accountability for people negatively affected by projects funded by the World Bank. It allows them to call for an investigation if social and environmental standards of the World Bank have not been adhered to and. Its origin can be traced back to pressure exerted by a transnational NGO campaign on US congress in the wake of the Narmada Valley Development Project. While the Panel’s history since then shows that it usually does not have the power to entirely stop a project, the case of the Kwabenya landfill in Accra (Ghana) proves that it can act as an important instrument for – potentially successful – civil society struggles which aim at democratizing the current architecture of governance.eng
