During the year, the Panel handled new Requests for Inspection, conducted eligibility assessments, and completed investigations, including lessons from the Tanzania REGROW Project. It also describes institutional reforms tied to the Accountability Mechanism, including restructuring and procedural amendments.","2025  \nANNUAL REPORT  \nTHE INSPECTION PANEL  \nPub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nFY 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | THE INSPECTION PANEL  \nMESSAGE  \nFROM THE PANEL  \nFiscal Year 2025 was a year of agility and resilience for the Inspection Panel. We continued to uphold our mandate of ensuring accountability at the World Bank by addressing the complaints of project-affected people, strengthening our processes, and deepening engagement with the Board of Executive Directors, civil society, and other stakeholders. We did this while managing casework and participating in institutional reforms relating to the Accountability Mechanism (AM) and to the Inspection Panel.  \nOver the course of the year, the Panel processed eight new Requests for Inspection, registering six of them, and completing six eligibility assessments of complex cases in multiple regions. We concluded our investigation into the Tanzania REGROW Project, which highlighted important lessons about the risks conservation projects in protected areas carry when they restrict a community’s access to natural resources and adversely affect the safety and livelihoods of people living in and around them. Marking a first in its history, the Panel recommended a verification of the Management Action Plan (MAP) addressing its investigation findings in Togo. This affirmed the role of the Panel in reassuring the Board that MAPs are implemented as it had approved.  \nAlongside its casework, the Panel was actively engaged in broader institutional reforms throughout the year. We contributed to the World Bank’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its accountability architecture, including an external review of reforms to the Panel’s toolkit and the creation of the AM. This review led to the restructuring of the AM—with the Panel and the Dispute Resolution Service now operating as two parallel entities each reporting independently to the Board—and to subsequent amendments to the Resolution and Operating Procedures. More recently, the Panel  \nFY 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | THE INSPECTION PANEL  \ncontributed to the Board’s Committee on Development Effectiveness in its consideration of the integration of the institution’s accountability mechanisms as part of the One World Bank vision. Amidst these changes, the Panel and the staff have remained agile and resilient.  \nThrough conferences in which the Panel participated, such as the annual meeting of the Independent Accountability Mechanisms Network (IAMnet) in Manila, COP29 in Baku, dialogues with stakeholders at the Civil Society Policy Forum, and a joint workshop with the Compliance Review Panel of the Asian Development Bank, we reinforced that changes—either in increasing financing through full mutual reliance with other development banks, the pivot of financing priorities, and/or potential integration of accountability mechanisms—must not undermine the rights of the Requesters or cause a regression to the accountability functions. This year, the Panel also contributed to technical conferences: (i) the 44th International Association of Impact Assessment in Bologna centered on use of artificial intelligence, and (ii) data harmonization workshops in London, working alongside various IAMs to discuss the fundamental principles guiding the sharing, management, use, and disclosure of case-related data.  \nAs we move forward, we also wish to express our appreciation to Mark Goldsmith, who joined the Panel in November 2019, served as Chairperson from December 2023 to November 2024 and completed his term as Panel member in March 2025. During his tenure, he was involved in many Panel cases, leading the investigation into the Tanzania REGROW Project. Mark was instrumental in the Panel’s close engagement with the Board and review team during the external review. His leadership was also instrumental in advancing key Panel initiatives, including the publication of non-technical case summaries
