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 project proposes as a general objective to contribute to increase air connectivity in Bolivia. The specific objective is to improve the levels of air transport service at the airports intervened: Puerto Suárez, Tarija and Uyuni. 

 

People Affected By This Project
People Affected By This Project refers to the communities of people likely to be affected positively or negatively by a project.

Con base en la información disponible y de acuerdo con la política de medio
ambiente y cumplimiento de salvaguardias ambientales (OP-703), el equipo
propone que esta operación sea clasificada Categoría B por su impacto ambiental
y social. Los aeropuertos de Puerto Suárez, Tarija y Uyuni poseen licencias
ambientales para obras y mantenimiento.
4.2 El aeropuerto de Puerto Suarez no requiere liberaciones, pues se tiene un acuerdo
de uso de la superficie del aeropuerto perteneciente a la Fuerza Aérea Boliviana,
y posee Programas de Prevención y Mitigación (PPM) y el Plan de Aplicación y
Seguimiento Ambiental (PASA), preparado para cumplir con el equivalente de un
Análisis Ambiental y Social y con un Plan de Gestión Ambiental y Social,
cumpliendo con todos los requisitos de las políticas de salvaguardias del Banco.
Sin embargo, se prevé, de manera puntual y limitada, despejar áreas de vegetación
natural y seminatural y la posibilidad de adquisición de predios y desplazamiento
involuntario en zonas para obras y para mejoría de la seguridad operacional.

Se pondrán a disposición del público en la página web del Banco las versiones aptas para publicación
del PPM-PASA, el cual cumplirá con los requisitos de la Directriz B.5 para la evaluación ambiental y
social y plan de gestión ambiental y social, antes de la misión de análisis. Se deberán concluir todas
las consultas de los proyectos de la muestra y publicar las versiones finales de dichos documentos
con sus respectivos informes de consultas antes de la distribución al Comité de Políticas Operativas. (Ver Anexo III – BO-L1209)

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).
