Civil society organizations from the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) met with the NDB (New Development Bank) to address topics such as transparency, accountability, access to information, gender, environmental and social management, and mechanisms to ensure social participation in the bank\u2019s projects.<\/p>\n

In the first official meeting between the NDB and civil society, the organizations requested, in the short term, the creation of a working group formed by civil society and the NDB to develop indicators to assess the sustainability of infrastructure projects. They also stressed the need to engage civil society as an equal partner in all the bank\u2019s political processes.<\/p>\n

Kamath. After the meeting, a document was drafted summarizing the discussions and calling for measures from the bank.<\/p>\n
