Join us next Friday as BIC's Deputy Director, Carla García Zendejas, guides a conversation convening practitioners and @IFC_org management on enabling effective remedy through its interim Remedial Action Framework (RAF).

Anthony questions that we still don’t know what institutional changes will occur after this pilot phase. He shares that performance of the RAF should be independently evaluated by IFC staff, CSOs, affected communities, etc.
