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.

The MFF will reinforce ongoing projects and finance new investments to boost energy trade and regional cooperation, strengthen the country's energy infrastructure, increase energy supply to accelerate electrification rate, and improve operational efficiency in the sector. In power, generation (renewable energy), transmission (regional and domestic lines), and distribution (on- and off-grid networks) projects are proposed; while wells rehabilitation is planned in gas.

The impact of the MFF will be improved access to sustainable energy supplies across Afghanistan. The outcome will be increased supply of imported and indigenous power.

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 ADB

The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
