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 general objective is to improve the living conditions of Honduran women aged 15 and older in terms of labor force participation, sexual and reproductive health, prevention of and response to violence against women, and prevention of adolescent pregnancy. The specific objectives for the target departments are to: (i) increase the percentage of women aged 15 and older who are participating in the labor force; (ii) reduce the maternal mortality rate and the breast cancer and cervical-uterine cancer mortality rates in women aged 15 and older; (iii) reduce the prevalence of violence (physical or sexual violence committed by a partner, as well as homicides) against women aged 15 and older; (iv) reduce the pregnancy rate among adolescents aged 15 to 19; and (v) expand the coverage of specialized and integrated services for women aged 15 and older by creating and/or strengthening Ciudad Mujer Centers in the departments of Francisco Morazán, Cortés, Olancho, and Atlántida. In accordance with the Bank’s Environment and Safeguards Compliance Policy, this is classified as a category “B” operation because the potential negative impacts and social and environmental risks are localized and short-term and the mitigation measures are known and easily implemented. The most significant social and environmental risks are related to the operational phase, particularly increased demand for energy and drinking water; the quality of drinking water and sewerage systems; discharges of hospital effluents; generation of hospital solid waste; and occupational safety and health for Sexual and Reproductive Health Module employees, patients, and visitors. Social and environmental risks during construction have also been identified.

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).
