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 AIIB documents, the objective of the Project is to improve rural accessibility through resilient infrastructure and enhance capacity of MPRRDA to manage MP's rural road network.

The project consists of 3 components:

1) Rural Connectivity and Mobility Enhancement: The component includes: (a) upgrading the existing gravel surfaced rural roads (approx. 10,000 km) developed under the CMGSY program to a sealed surface standard to improve sustainability of last mile connectivity provided to 5400 villages; (b) providing alternate connectivity (approx. 510 km) to villages that have higher potential to grow faster, given additional linkages to more economic and market centers, and (c) supporting MPRRDA in the overall project management, construction supervision and quality control, technical and financial audit, with the support from independent consultants.

2) Institutional Development: The component consists of developing automated web project management system, improving road asset management, reinforcing the engineering design and research unit of MPRRDA and training of MPRRDA staff in the design, procurement,contract management, road safety, social and environmental management of road projects.

3) Road Safety Management Capacity Development: This component supports MPRRDA and other Government departments to build their capacity in managing the state’s road safety program including development of a Road Accident Data Management System (RADMS) and a community based road safety reporting system, design of an annual statewide road safety campaign, and piloting a speed management program along high risk corridors.

This project will use the World Bank's Environmental and Social Safeguard Policies.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF AIIB

The AIIB has established the Accountability Mechanism for Project-Affected People (PPM).  The PPM provides “an opportunity for an independent and impartial review of submissions from Project-affected people who believe they have been or are likely to be adversely affected by AIIB’s failure to implement the ESP in situations when their concerns cannot be addressed satisfactorily through Project level GRMs or AIIB Management processes.” Two or more project-affected people can file a complaint.  Under the current AIIB policy, when the bank co-finances a project with another development bank, it may apply the other bank's standards. You can refer to the Project Summary Information document to find out which standards apply.  You can learn more about the PPM and how to file a complaint at: https://www.aiib.org/en/about-aiib/who-we-are/project-affected-peoples-mechanism/how-we-assist-you/index.html.

The complaint submission form can be accessed in Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Bengali, Chinese, English, Tagalog, Hindi, Nepali, Russian, Turkish, or Urdu. The submission form can be found at: https://www.aiib.org/en/about-aiib/who-we-are/project-affected-peoples-mechanism/submission/index.html.
