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.

As stated by the IFC, the project consists of five components that flow from the project objective; the components allow the team to: finalize and share the regenerative agriculture framework (Component 1); operationalize the framework in for IFC Sustainable Crop Production Advisory (Component 2), Animal Protein Advisory (Component 3), and Investment (Component 4); and develop additional KM products to fill information gaps (Component 5).

The project will help prepare knowledge products to provide strategic and operational guidance for defining, piloting, and scaling regenerative agriculture Investment and Advisory at IFC, specifically:

1. Finalize and share IFC’s Regenerative Agriculture Framework, through the preparation of supporting technical documents
2. Operationalize the framework for Investment, Sustainable Crop Production Advisory, and Sustainable Protein Advisory
3. Develop Knowledge Management (KM) products to meet technical information gaps and thought leadership opportunities, such as a need for specific case studies and ROI analyses, for guidance on the use of biologicals, or for a regen-aligned Catalogue of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for the agriculture sector.

It is expected that the KM products would benefit at least five IFC projects. This target will be reassessed two years into the program. The Implementation Plan would last three and a half years from July 2025 through December 2028, which will allow enough time to compile lessons from deployment of the Framework. The timeframe may be adjusted in response to budget availability.

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/MIGA

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
