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 project documents, the general objective of the proposal is to support water and sanitation regulatory agencies which were not included in the first phase (RG-T3511). The first phase, co-financed by the Portuguese government, included 5 regulators. This second phase will support the implementation of best practices and strengthening activities to additional regulators.
The specific objectives of the proposal is to: (i) conduct training workshops for the water and sanitation regulators on tariffs, human resources, information management, performance indicators and best practices; (ii) develop tool kits to be used by regulators in their day to day activities; (iii) establish a regulation platform that will be fed with information from all regulators collected during phase 1 and 2. Regulators from other regions of the world will also be able to join the platform; and (iv) Publication of materials using the data collected and training conducted.

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.

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).
