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 Economic Competitiveness and Social Inclusion Programme Supplementary Financing (ECSIP-SF) for the Republic of Tanzania consists of an ADB loan of USD 135.61 million; and an ADF loan of UA 15.13 million. The ECSIP was initially designed to support Tanzania’s economic recovery through a two-year programmatic series for the fiscal years (FY) 2022/23 and FY2023/24. The proposed supplementary financing meets the four conditions outlined in the Bank group policy on Program-Based Operations (PBO) related to supplementary PBO which are outlined in Table 3: Eligibility Criteria for Supplemental Financing.

Similar to ECSIP I & II, the overarching development objective of ECSIP-SF is to promote a green and resilient recovery by fostering improved economic governance, enhancing industrial competitiveness, and reinforcing social inclusion.The programme will continue supporting Tanzania’s medium to longterm development agenda while leveraging the achievements of ECSIPI and II.

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

Environmental Category: [3] Low Risk

ECSIP-SF’s environmental and social risk classification is Category 3, consistent with ECSIP-I and ECSIP-II. Its interventions and expected outcomes are not likely to generate any significant environmental or social risks and impacts that would require E&S risk mitigation actions or management plans.

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 AfDB

The Independent Review Mechanism (IRM), which is administered by the Compliance Review and Mediation Unit (CRMU), is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an African Development Bank (AfDB)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may assist you by either seeking to address your problems by facilitating a dispute resolution dialogue between you and those implementing the project and/or investigating whether the AfDB complied with its policies to prevent environmental and social harms. You can submit a complaint electronically by emailing crmuinfo@afdb.org, b.kargougou@afdb.org, b.fall@afdb.org, and/or s.toure@afdb.org. You can learn more about the IRM and how to file a complaint at: https://www.afdb.org/en/independent-review-mechanism/
