Accountability Matters

Newsletter | June 2025

Welcome to the June issue of Accountability Matters.  

This issue features an interview with Evelyn Dietsche, who became an Inspection Panel member in April 2024 after nearly three decades of experience in the multinational corporate sector and the international advisory and consultancy world. She brings a “solid and broad background paired with an independent, analytical mindset” to Panel cases and thrives on “cutting through complexity.” We also look at the Africa Mining Accountability App, a new tool that communities in mining areas can use to log environmental and human rights abuses. 

We then recount the discussion on the Full Mutual Reliance Framework (FMRF) that the Inspection Panel and Dispute Resolution Service helped to co-organize as part of the Civil Society Policy Forum at the recently concluded World Bank-International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings. That discussion looked at the challenges and opportunities of the FMRF, which was approved earlier this year by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank for co-financed public sector projects. Finally, as always, we include a round-up of accountability-related publications and news on jobs and events that might be of interest to our readers. 

We hope you enjoy this edition of Accountability Matters. Please let us know if you have any comments or story ideas for the newsletter at accountability@worldbank.org or ipanel@worldbank.org.
