Project NameProject NumberCountryCategoryNature of Indigenous Risk
Adenium Jordan I 35467 Jordan B PS7 should be considered in Ma'an - which is considered indigenous/tribal/Bedouin - where rural herders still have strong clan and kinship ties linked to resources
IHS Nigeria II 35725 Nigeria B PS5-8 evaluation did not occur for a footprint spanning Nigeria. Indigenous risks from IT expansions are substantial (e.g. Rohingya genocide)
Cargills Foods Company 33477 Sri Lanka B Where do agricultural inputs come from? Is there greenfield development planned?
Idea Cell Ltd 35083 India B This is equity and no footprint is articulated - but IPs are present across India

Asahan I Hydro Electric Power Plant 33853 Indonesia B IFC invalidated the indigeneity of Batak peoples (who have distinct religion culture language and ties to resources including Danau Toba) simply claiming adverse impacts weren't identified
