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.

As stated by the New Development Bank, the Project will be implemented in Liaoning Province, one of the first industrialized provinces in China, to tackle typical urban development problems in the region - deteriorated water bodies, inadequate urban connectivity and recurrent urban flooding. Solution to these problems is critical to ensure transformation of these cities from "old industrial bases" into new urban agglomerations attractive to talents and new businesses, and to set their development on a sustainable path. Two steel cities have been selected by the provincial government to participate in the Project - Anshan and Lingyuan.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF NEW DEVELOPMENT BANK

The New Development Bank (NDB) does not currently have an independent accountability mechanism to accept complaints related to NDB-financed projects. The Bank does have a whistleblower mechanism that receives complaints about misconduct related to corruption, fraudulent practices and instances of money laundering in projects financed by the NDB and/or against the NDB staff members. To learn more about the whistleblower mechanism and how to file a complaint, access this webpage at: https://www.ndb.int/about-us/whistleblowing
