World Bank Document

Inspection Panel in September 2013 alleging that one of the World Bank-financed 

agriculture projects was resulting in harm to people forced to harvest cotton. While the

risk of any implication in child or forced labor and an expanded emphasis on agricultural sector 

modernization.
