  • Position N°: 50076319
  • Reference: NA
  • Publication date: 05/05/2015
  • Closing date: 25/05/2015

Objectives

The Compliance Review and Mediation Unit (CRMU) is the entity of the African Development Bank Group (Bank Group) that administers the Independent Review Mechanism (IRM). The IRM is a recourse system of the AfDB whose mandate is to deal with complaints received from people who are or likely to be adversely affected by any of the projects financed by the Bank Group.  The IRM handles complaints through either the verification of the Bank’ compliance with its own policies (compliance review) or/and problem-solving, in line with its Operating Rules and Procedures. In addition, the IRM has an advisory function aimed at reinforcing institutional knowledge on issues of compliance review and problem-solving.
Besides regular staff who are responsible for supporting the Director in handling complaints through problem-solving, CRMU administers a Roster of Experts. The IRM Experts constitute Compliance Review Panels which investigate the alleged non-compliance with the policies and procedures of the Bank Group.
In 2010 and 2015, the Boards of Directors of the Bank Group approved the amended IRM Rules and Procedures. Accordingly, CRMU has been mandated to undertake outreach activities in the Bank’s Regional Member Countries (RMCs) and to provide advisory service to the Bank on the issues of compliance review and problem solving. The main objective of the outreach is to raise awareness of project stakeholders about the mandate and procedures of the IRM.

The advisory function is intended to develop institutional learning.
