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 objective of the operation is to support the creation of a publicly funded quality education system that provides access to free basic education to all children in Haiti. The project aims to improve access to quality preschool and primary education. The specific objectives of the project are to: (i) ensure access to quality education for the poor; (ii) improve learning conditions in selected public and private primary schools; (iii) strengthen governance, regulation and planning of the education sector. The interventions will be focused in the North of Haiti. The program’s net social impact is expected by the IADB to be positive, as communities will benefit from increased access to quality education. The focus of the program, and the majority of the financing (65%), is on strengthening the capacity of the Government of Haiti to ensure access to quality preschool and primary education for the most vulnerable children. However, approximately 15% of the program will partially finance the construction of a new MENFP building in Port-au-Prince. Therefore, according to the Bank’s safeguard screening process the Project is classified as a “B”, given that the potential negative environmental, social and health and safety impacts of the construction of the building are expected to be of small to moderate magnitude, highly localized, and typical of small to medium scale construction works.

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 IADB The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
