Pieter Jansen, programme officer bij Both ENDS, interviewde Sukanta Sen van het Bangladesh Resource Center for Indigenous Knowledge (BARCIK). BARCIK is werkzaam op het gebied van milieu, behoud van biodiversiteit en ontwikkeling. Zij zetten zich in om lokale en inheemse kennis in ontwikkelingsprojecten te bevorderen en voor de versterking van de positie van lokale en inheemse gemeenschappen.
Both ENDS co-wrote a Joint CSO Submission on the Draft Revised Version of the EIB Transparency Policy to the EIB. The transparency policy does not adequately reflect key international standards and principles regarding transparency, as set out in the Global Transparency Initiative's Transparency Charter for International Financial Institutions.
The policy should meet the nine key principles as set out in the Global Transparency Initiative's Transparency Charter for International Financial Institutions, namely: 1) the right of access,; 2) automatic disclosure,; 3) access to decision-making; 4) the right to request information; 5) limited exceptions; 6) appeals; 7) whistleblower protection; 8) the promotion of freedom of information; and 9) regular review.
