The main objective of this Interim Advice is to assist IFC clients in identifying alternative approaches and mechanisms for engaging stakeholders, for continuing to deliver project-related information to the communities within their areas of operations and for receiving feedback, while taking all feasible steps to protect the health and safety of those involved. Due to COVID-19 circumstances, it may not be possible for companies to conduct stakeholder engagement as they would under normal circumstances. This document presents a framework for developing alternative approaches to engagement and access to grievance mechanisms offering advice on key aspects of decision-making and other relevant issues.
