Date Filed: June 24, 2022

Status: Active

Description

On June 24, 2022, CAO received a complaint from a school teacher from a village in Benban, Egypt. The teacher alleged that the representatives of the Benban Solar Park project had visited villages in Benban and promised to provide development plans for the villages, but no plan had been communicated, and no consultation with the community had taken place. IFC leads a consortium of nine international banks, providing a debt package totaling $653 million—of which $225 million is financed by IFC. This capital supports the construction of 13 of the 41 solar power plants that make up the Benban Solar Park. MIGA has 12 active guarantees for projects in the Benban Solar Park. Of these 12 projects, three are financed by the IFC-led consortium, and nine by a consortium led by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
