22 U.S.C. § 9614 — Independent accountability mechanism

(a) The Board must establish a transparent and independent accountability mechanism. (b) The mechanism must: (1) evaluate each year and report to the Board and Congress on compliance with environmental, social, labor, human-rights, and transparency standards consistent with the Corporation's legal duties; (2) provide a forum for concerns about the effects of particular Corporation-supported projects; and (3) advise about Corporation projects, policies, and practices. (c) Within 90 days after December 18, 2025, the Board must report to the appropriate congressional committees^* on efficiencies that could result from placing the mechanism's functions under the Corporation Inspector General's authority. The report must explain how the Inspector General would develop enough environmental, social, and governance expertise to replace the mechanism's expertise.
