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 strengthen the capacity of the National Institute of Statistics of Djibouti (INSD) to produce and disseminate timely and reliable statistics in a sustainable manner and modernize the Recipient's selected economic and fiscal management tools and processes in Djibouti.

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.

The Environmental and Social Risks are Moderate. The Environmental risk are rated Low. The project does not involve any activities that could generate significant and irreversible environmental and social impacts. No significant environmental risk has been identified, except risk related to the occupational health and safety (OHS) of the census agents during the field work, mainly their road safety. The Social risks are rated moderate. For the AF, those risks are mainly: 1) community health and safety, including gender-based violence, as big numbers of enumerators will be crossing the country interacting with each other and with the local populations; 2) conflict with the local communities, who may not be aware of the census survey activities, due to lack of trust in the enumerators or due to poor behaviors from the enumerators; 3) not knowing or respecting cultural backgrounds of the different areas that will be visited to conduct the survey; 4) grievances not resolved; and 5) poor labor and working conditions. Census workers involved in the AF activities may be exposed to discrimination, inequalities and unfairness, sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment, lack of security, physical and moral harm or conflicts, and/or some degree of occupational health and safety (OHS) risks that include road accidents.
