What it reported doing in 2024

CASE WORK AND CAPACITY BUILDING: At the request of community advocates worldwide, we investigate corporations, investors, and supply chain actors linked to harmful activities and identify where pressure can drive change. We also train and equip civil society organizations with tools and digital resources to conduct their own investigations and advocacy. In select cases, we go further, partnering with community organizations to design and implement sustained, multi-pronged advocacy strategies aimed at preventing harm and securing redress. . CASE WORK AND CAPACITY BUILDING: In 2024 our researchers opened new avenues for communities to defend their rights by investigating the investment and supply chains of 50 harmful projects in nine countries, along with regional projects in Asia and Africa and one global investigation of the palm oil sector. Participants in our training courses investigated an additional 36 projects in 11 countries with our help. Altogether this research uncovered 151 new advocacy opportunities for communities in 18 countries, which we and our partners helped communities seize in 25 cases. This year we secured 24 important case wins and remedial or preventative outcomes in four cases. . Key case accomplishments in 2024: . -----IDIs casework in Guinea delivered a resounding victory for the Area One community forcibly displaced for an open-pit goldmine. We helped the community negotiate a final settlement agreement with AngloGold Ashanti, including a payment to the affected families for individual compensation owed as a result of the resettlement process and the establishment of a Fund to finance community-led development projects aimed at improving the livelihoods and living standards of the Area One community. The company also delivered infrastructure improvements at the resettlement site and agreed to obtain community consent for any future resettlement in Guinea. In another important policy advance, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) agreed to contribute to this remedial action by providing technical support for the community-led livelihood projects. . -----Other communities we accompanied in Guinea and Liberia reached interim agreements with mining companies, improving access to clean water and health care, and securing recognition of customary land rights and compensation for individual and communal land. . -----With our support, communities affected by the Dairi Prima Mineral zinc mine and tailings dam in earthquake prone North Sumatra successfully challenged the mines environmental permit in Indonesias Supreme Court. The Court directed Indonesias Environment Ministry to revoke approval of the project, concluding that it failed to adequately consult affected people and consider safety risks. . -----We helped negotiate a Memorandum of Understanding between 12 indigenous communities in Northeastern Cambodia and Vietnamese agribusiness company HAGL Agrico to bring about a final resolution of a 15-year old land conflict resulting from the companys plantation development activities. . -----IFCs internal watchdog announced a full compliance investigation into the institutions financial links to two massive coal-fired power plants in Java, Indonesia, that were the subject of a complaint we lodged with community members in 2023. . -----Our advocacy with survivors of child sexual abuse at IFC-financed for-profit schools on Kenya led IFC to consult with them on a remediation plan. Meanwhile, the World Bank board heeded our call to launch an external probe of IFCs interference in the Compliance Advisor Ombudsmans independent investigation of the abuse. . -----The Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil ruled that a Samsung palm oil subsidiary violated Indigenous rights in Sumatra, in response to a complaint that was filed as a result of our supply chain research. . Additionally, we delivered our full 6-month Follow the Money (FTM) training to 45 corporate accountability advocates in Asia and Latin America. We a
