Summary of the Request
The Request describes harms to the environment, as well as living conditions and health of the community due to the implementation of the Project, which, they allege, was not carried out according to the established schedules, it did not adequately consider the management of machinery and waste, and, finally, it did not consider the impact that the increase in tourism would have in the area.
Additionally, the Request warns about harms to the quality of life and economic damages of one of the Requesters due to the sinking of his boat during the provision of the material transport service for the execution of sanitation works within the framework of the Project.
Recent actions
On December 15, 2023, the Board approved the Recommendation to conduct a Compliance Review and ToR. The investigation is expected to last 6 months from the date on which the investigation panel is formed, which will be made up of the Compliance Phase Coordinator and two experts.
Past actions
On July 19, 2022, MICI granted the Requesters a maximum period of 10 business days to submit the information required to continue with the Request process (paragraph 20 of the MICI Policy).
On August 2, 2022, MICI notified the Requesters and IDB Management of the registration of the Request.
On September 30, 2022, the MICI determined that the Request was eligible because it met all the eligibility criteria established in the MICI Policy. This eligibility determination is not an evaluation of the merits of the Request or the issues contained therein.
Issues of an environmental nature, living conditions and the cultural heritage of the community are excluded from an MICI process, since it is the MICI's opinion that it is not possible to link that these allegations of damage and the information provided could be the result of potential breaches of the Operational Policies.
The Request was transferred to the Consultation Phase by decision of the Requesters.
