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 proposed project "intends to establish a sustainable civil aviation network to support economic growth and reduce poverty in rural areas by realizing safer, more efficient, and more accessible all-weather air transport services. The project will finance strengthening and upgrading of runways, aprons, taxiways and terminal buildings, to bring Papua New Guinea's (PNG) national airports into compliance with national aviation safety and security standards and accommodate future traffic growth. The project will also develop a sustainable approach to extending aviation services to rural areas with promising economic potential by financing a pilot project to provide all-weather rural feeder airstrips to act as rural hubs linking remote grass airstrips to markets and service centers. Aviation safety and efficiency will also be improved by upgrading air navigation and weather services for civil aviation. Support will also be provided for institutional strengthening civil aviation sector agencies and developing the capacity of their staff."

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
