According to NDB website, the project aims to support the GOI in fighting the COVID-19 outbreak, and reduce human, social and economic losses. This Program will enable recovery of economic and social activity through procurement and deployment of critical healthcare goods and services. These measures will enhance India’s disease detection and diagnosis, infection prevention and control capacities, sustain and re-inforce healthcare services, and strengthen operational support and logistics, etc. The Program will also provide financial resources to support the GOI in strengthening its social safety net to reduce the economic and social impacts of COVID-19.

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.
