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 the Bank’s website, the objective of this project is to (i) rebuild and improve access to basic services and climate-resilient community infrastructure and (ii) improve access to multi-sectoral response services for Gender-Based Violence (GBV) survivors; in selected conflict-affected communities in Ethiopia.

The original PDO remains unchanged, and the overall design of the project will remain the same under the additional financing (AF), scaling up of activities under Component 2: Improving Access to GBV Response Services to address the severity and extent of need for GBV response services.

Components
Rebuilding and Improving Access to Basic Services and Climate-resilient Community Infrastructure
Improving Access to GBV Response Services
Adaptive Project Management
Contingent Emergency Response Component

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

Environmental and Social Risk Classification (ESRC): High

The AF activities have similar risks and impacts to the Project since they are related to the support of the expansion and access to GBV services under Component 2, and there is no change in terms of geographical project areas. The AF activities are not anticipated to cause conversion of natural habitats or generate large-scale pollutants given the small-scale nature of the activities. However, there are potential small scale environmental, health, and safety risks that may result from the construction of the small-scale infrastructure for women and child-friendly safe spaces.
