The European Investment Bank Group's Complaints Mechanism is under review in 2026, with a focus on the Tanahu hydropower project in Nepal. This case study, presented by Bankwatch, CEMSOJ, and the International Accountability Project, critiques the current mechanism's performance and offers policy recommendations.

In 2026, the European Investment Bank Group will review its Complaints Mechanism (EIB-CM). A case study centered on the Tanahu hydropower project in Nepal highlights the deficiencies of the EIB-CM as identified by Bankwatch, the Community Empowerment and Social Justice Network (CEMSOJ), and the International Accountability Project.
Recommendations for improving the Complaints Mechanism Policy are included to address these concerns. The findings suggest that ineffective mechanisms may hinder accountability in large-scale projects, impacting community trust and future investments.
