Enhancing the Ecosystem for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Bolivia — Request II

Country: Bolivia

Reception date: July, 5 2023

Current Status: Open

Requesters: 
 

Confidential

 

Summary of the Request

The group of Requesters allege that they suffered discrimination in the work environment for reasons of gender of a person of the  group within the framework of the Project. 

Specifically, in their claim, they narrate a series of alleged actions and situations that the Executing Agency, with full knowledge of IDB Lab, considered to be discriminatory acts, which would represent a direct breach of the Operational Policy on Gender Equality in Development (OP-765). As a result of the foregoing, the Requesters group alleges harm to their physical and mental health, good name, assets, and livelihood (economy). 

In addition, the group claims to be suffering, even today, reprisals for denouncing the situation.

 

 

Recent actions

On September 25, 2023, MICI determined that the Request was eligible because it met all the eligibility criteria set forth in the MICI Policy. During the eligibility determination process, no investigation on the Project or IDB Lab was conducted, and the fact that the Request has been declared eligible is not a determination of compliance or non-compliance by the institution with its Policies.

The Request was referred to the Consultation Phase by decision of the Requesters.

 

Past actions

On July 28, 2023, MICI notified the Requesters and IDB Lab Management of the registration of the Request.
