Barrage of criticism over IFC safeguards reviewA number of new reports have come out criticising the IFC's recent revision of its lending standards (see Update 50). A report edited by Halifax Initiative in Canada provides a helpful analysis of each of the eight issue-specific performance standards and identifies what is missing in relation to the Extractive Industries Review.
