FMO has implemented an Independent Complaints Mechanism (ICM) which allows external parties to file a complaint concerning projects financed by FMO.
The Mechanism ensures the right to be heard for Complainants who feel affected by an FMO-Financed Operation in order to enable resolution of disputes and assist FMO in drawing lessons learned for current and future operations. FMO strives to implement a robust and independent procedure and to communicate transparently about it to stakeholders.
The Mechanism is a joint initiative of DEG - Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG) and FMO. Since February 2019, the French Development Finance Institution Proparco has also joined the Mechanism.
