Compliance Review Panel

The compliance review is focused on the direct and material harm suffered by project-affected people, and whether this is caused by ADB’s violations of its operational policies, and procedures in formulating, processing or implementing the project. The compliance review is done by an independent Compliance Review Panel.

The compliance review starts with the Panel making a recommendation to the ADB Board of Directors on the eligibility of the request for compliance review. If approved, the Panel conducts an independent investigation and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors to ensure project compliance, including remedial changes in the scope or implementation of the project.

The Panel is supported by a secretariat, the Office of the Compliance Review Panel. The Panel also monitors implementation of any remedial actions approved by the Board of Directors.
