Project NameProject NumberCountryCategoryNature of Indigenous Risk
Bounty 38743 South Africa B There is no way of knowing the footprint's intersection with IPs - yet IFC concluded without documentation that - "the type of risks and impacts envisaged in PS7 . . . are not applicable
Orazul Energia 38489 Latin America Region A Reference to sensitivities and 'tensions' in Peru but not IPs?
NFD Loan 38435 Solomon Islands A A 50 percent increase in purse seine capacity could severely impact livelihoods - and the entire population is indigenous. Yet IFC bypassed PS7 because the expansion isn't onshore

Granules III 38095 India B SCs and STs are present in Vishakhapatnam and disadvantaged - thus subject to evictions. No due diligence on project siting is described and only PS1-4 are listed at all
PAN Farm 37130 Vietnam B Unknown footprint for expanded operations
ETC India 39370 India B The footprint of the pulse processing facility is within the port of Kolkata - but IFC does not establish where the pulses, known to be displacing SC/ST communities are sourced from
Apex International Limited 38485 Egypt A No footprint is described; indigenous peoples are present in Egypt but location-based IP analysis would not account for pastoralists and migratory communities
Minsheng Edu 38573 China B Inner Mongolia education does not appear to evaluate whether effects on cultural heritage are inherent to curriculum. Private education could signal Han 'colonization' of frontier regions
STG Cement 38831 Myanmar A A PS7 review was retroactively conducted (CAO complaint) but no analysis is made of carbon offset plans on indigenous Shan territory
