IKI COMPLAINT MECHANISM:
The ETRELA project is funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI). IKI manages a mechanism so that complaints or grievances can be issued regarding the project. The mechanism aims to enable people who suffer (potential) negative social and/or environmental consequences from IKI projects, or who wish to report the misuse of funds, to express their grievances and seek redress. Doing this should also contribute to:
– monitor and improve the environmental and social outcomes of projects
– avoid unintended negative impacts of projects that go unnoticed by ZUG and BMWK, BMUV and AA,
– support the proper use of public funds, and
– comply with international good practices.
