THE PROJECT-AFFECTED PEOPLE’S MECHANISM
- ROP: Persons Who May File a Submission
- Two or more Project-affected people (Requestors) may file a submission.
- The Requestors may send submissions directly to the PPM or they may authorize an in-country representative (Authorized Representative) to file a submission on their behalf. This representative may be a relative, trusted individual or organization.
- In exceptional situations, when in-country representation is unavailable, the Requestors may designate an individual or organization representative outside of the country as their Authorized Representative to file a submission. The Authorized Representative provides necessary assistance in filing a submission with the PPM.
- The PPM acknowledges receipt of the submission to the Requestors (with a copy to the Authorized Representative) and initiates communication about the submission with the Requestors.
- The PPM does not accept anonymous submissions. This is because the PPM needs sufficient detail to communicate with those who approach it.
