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.

This is the second mandate signed with the Federal Government to develop federal road concessions. The two mandates account for more than 10 transactions, opening up the opportunity to undertake a programmatic approach for an in-depth change in the Brazilian road concession model. According to the bank: The new road concessions, encompassing 4,000 km of roads in the State of Parana, are expected to enhance the quality of the infrastructure provided in the main logistical corridors of agribusiness/ industry production outflow within the state network; improve connectivity between the municipalities in the countryside of the state; strengthen overall road safety for users; and decrease traffic congestion in the outskirts of the state's capital. The project will contribute to the consolidation of a transaction model that meets the demands of international investors and incorporates global road sector innovations.

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 IFC

The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an IFC or MIGA- financed project. If you submit a complaint to the CAO, they may assist you in resolving a dispute with the company and/or investigate to assess whether the IFC is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. If you want to submit a complaint electronically, you can email the CAO at CAO@worldbankgroup.org. You can learn more about the CAO and how to file a complaint at http://www.cao-ombudsman.org/
