Project NameProject NumberCountryCategoryNature of Indigenous Risk
Nachtigal 37673 Cameroon A ESRS notes that "sacred sites and trees were identified" that will be inundated. Yet PS7 is not flagged on the premise that somehow the sites are sacred to non-IPs
Pronaca Agro 32624 Ecuador B Livestock sourcing is not evaluated as an 'associated facility' but often poses IP risks in the region
Senegal Societe de Transformation des Legumes 40942 Senegal B Pulaar herding routes and water access could be affected by crop circles even though they don't own the "footprint." Pulaar have distinct language and resource-based heritage
SETRAG II 42222 Gabon B Along the 648 kilometer route no analysis of IP presence is conducted based on public documentation
Sonoco 40276 Guinea B IFC's evaluation was specific only to the project footprint - although the project relies on agricultural inputs - whose impacts would differ from those of the processing facility
Sosagrin IBS 40131 Senegal B IFC does not consider where agricultural inputs will be sourced from. There is little apparent persistence of IPs in Rufisque - but the broader footprint merits PS7 consideration.
Soufflet Ethiopia 40331 Ethiopia B The mill is peri-urban but grain sourcing is not described at all. Ethiopia's track record with crop conversion has been ethnically divisive and profoundly impactful in IPs
Tasiast Mauritania 41009 Mauritania A The location description identifies semi-nomadic indigenous peoples who steward the land but IFC states that no IPs "as defined by PS7 have been identified" in or near the project
Usina Delta SA 34394 Brazil B Sugarcane triggered PS7 elsewhere in Brazil. Minas Gerais has 293 registered quilombolas. Indigenous and quilombola lands are badly demarcated and Delta's expansion is likely to encourage field expansions.
USJ Araras 30582 Brazil B Goias has over 50 certified quilombolas and sugarcane fields in Brazil have an entrenched history of displacing indigenous peoples
