In May 2010, the Bank's Board of Executive Directors approved the new Access to Information Policy, to take effect on January 1, 2011. The new policy will replace the current Disclosure of Information Policy, which has been in effect since 2006. The new policy strengthens the Bank's commitment to transparency in all of its activities, ensuring that all information will be disclosed unless it is found on a narrow list of exceptions. The Policy establishes requirements for the timely availability of three types of information --operational, financial and institutional--and creates a two-stage review mechanism for instances in which access to information is denied.
Information on environmental and social aspects of selected operations, in particular, is disclosed in accordance with specific provisions in the Policy.
The IDB accepts comments and opinions from the public on drafts of selected strategies and policies via periodic public consultation and participation exercises.
