Grievance Mechanism: A Primer

This presentation was originally made to the environmental and social performance practitioners group at the OECD in 2020.

We were asked to do an introduction to current good practices for grievance management and redress systems from the ground-level, looking at how to create a GMR system that will conform with international standards.

This is taken from the perspective of what we tell clients they need to be doing in order to satisfy various funders — whether investors or lenders that are themselves required to satisfy current international standards.
