Global: Citizens guide to gender accountability

The Citizen's Guide to Gender Accountability is written in context of recent endeavours by International Financial Institutions (IFIs) to assess compliance and enforce institutional accountability to their own policies and procedures on gender equality as well as other cross-cutting issues. The establishment of the accountability mechanisms such as the Independent Review Mechanism (IRM) is also designed to empower locally-impacted and other concerned individuals to raise policy related concerns, including those on gender and seek redress for negative impacts resulting from Bank operations.
