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 ADB website, restoring the health of river and lake ecosystems and improving resilience to water-related disasters are increasingly important priorities of the Government. According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, 28% of the available surface water of the country's seven major rivers and 31% of the water of key lakes and reservoirs are unfit for human consumption. Once polluted to this degree, traditional pollution mitigation measures, such as standalone wastewater treatment facilities, are usually insufficient to recovery a water ecosystem. In response, an increasing number of local governments are adopting a more comprehensive approach, whereby they engage engaging private operators to mitigate pollution and restore the health of river and lake ecosystems through multiple, interlocking subprojects tendered under a single basin-wide concession.

The project will support the implementation of integrated wastewater management concessions targeting environmental services for rivers and lakes. The ADB loan will support CWE in designing, constructing, and operating a series of facilities spanning several components, including (i) wastewater treatment plants; (ii) sludge treatment plants; (iii) sewage conveyance and interception pipelines; (iv) other civil works, such as the dredging of rivers and lakes, riverbank reinforcements, odor treatment, and landscaping; and (vi) the development of wetlands.

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
