INDEPENDENT COMPLAINTS MECHANISM (ICM)
The ICM’s core purpose is to provide complainants with an effective, fair and credible tool to facilitate the resolution of disputes, as well as to assist Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO), Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG) and PROPARCO (collectively: the DFIs) in adhering to their own environmental and social policies and procedures. Complainants’ ability to safely file complaints without fear of retaliation is an essential pre-requisite for the ICM to achieve its mission.
