Co-signed by 35 NGOs and civil society organisations, including Eurodad, the letter calls on the EIB to extend the consultation period until September 2021.

Considering the bank's  commitment to strengthen its development finance work, it is regrettable that it has put in place a process that does not allow for adequate consultation with those most exposed to impacts of its development operations.
