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 IFC website, IFC will help Brazil’s Empresa de Planejamento e Logística (EPL), and federal government agency, in structuring and promoting its Roads Concessions Program. The Program encompasses four batches of federal roads covering more than 2,000 km. Further, the new road concessions, encompassing more than 2,000 km of roads, are expected to better link the major economic centers of Brazil, and improve connectivity between the mid-west and north regions of the country; improve logistics conditions among economically relevant cities; enhance overall road safety to roads users; and improve the quality of the roads and decrease traffic congestion in regions of major economic importance in Brazil. The project will also help introduce new standards of international investment in Brazil’s infrastructure market and introduce operational innovations in the road sector.

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.

No contact information provided at the time of disclosure.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IFC

The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an IFC or MIGA- financed project. If you submit a complaint to the CAO, they may assist you in resolving a dispute with the company and/or investigate to assess whether the IFC is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. If you want to submit a complaint electronically, you can email the CAO at CAO@worldbankgroup.org. You can learn more about the CAO and how to file a complaint at http://www.cao-ombudsman.org/
