Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the Bank’s website, the 'Regional mechanisms for the low-carbon, climate-resilient transformation of the energy-water-land Nexus in Central Asia' consortium programme, ('the Consortium Programme') aims to provide the Central Asian countries of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyz Republic, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan with ways to apply energy, water, land-use nexus approaches to modify the planning processes and adopt a whole-of-government concept to address socio-economic and environmental challenges. It places an emphasis on quantification of economic (and non-economic where relevant) benefits of the nexus approach for the region's socio-economic development that is climate-resilient, environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive. The nexus approach aims to:

  • Enhance institutional and individual capacity that leads to integration of nexus considerations into policy development and project planning in Central Asia;
  • Scale up finance for projects and businesses that generate nexus benefits and contribute to deeper regional and cross-sectoral co-operation toward climate, energy, water, and food security;
  • Foster political dialogue at the regional level to build confidence in the benefits of co-operation on the nexus and demonstrate the opportunities for high-impact, cross-sectoral investments in support of energy, water, and land use security in the region.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD

The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent.

You can contact the PCM at: pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form at: http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en

You can learn more about the PCM and how to file a complaint at: http://www.ebrd.com/work-with-us/project-finance/project-complaint-mechanism.html
