Coalition member Inclusive Development International has released two new resources to aid communities in the context of private sector development projects. The Community Guide to the International Finance Corporation is a resource for people adversely affected by IFC-funded projects. The guide is designed to help communities understand their rights and entitlements vis-a-vis IFC projects and to decide whether they want to file a complaint to the Compliance Advisory Ombudsman (CAO) as a part of their advocacy strategy. Avoiding Forced Displacement: A Community Guide to Negotiation and Advocacy was designed by Inclusive Development International in collaboration with Equitable Cambodia, and was developed for the Southeast Asian context. This four-day training curriculum helps communities to think strategically about how to negotiate with private companies and government authorities seeking to take their land. Both resources are available for download here.
