After a nearly two-year-long review of the AIIB’s Project-Affected People’s Mechanism (PPM) Policy the AIIB Board unanimously approved on Dec. 18 a revised PPM Policy. AIIB will now update the PPM Directive and Rules of Procedure accordingly and expects to publish the policy, directive and rules as a package on Jan. 2, 2026.
The Complaints-resolution, Evaluation and Integrity Unit (CEIU) will then conduct several outreach activities to socialize the revised policy and associated documents.
About PPM
The PPM was established in 2018 by AIIB to provide an independent and impartial mechanism to receive submissions from project-affected people who believe they have been or are likely to be adversely affected by AIIB’s failure to implement its Environmental and Social Policy. The PPM is one of the functions of the CEIU, an independent unit that reports directly to the Board. The review of the PPM Policy, which included extensive stakeholder consultations, has aimed at enhancing the visibility, accessibility and responsiveness of the PPM to communities affected by AIIB-financed projects.
