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 proposed operation is an AfDB loan not exceeding EUR 151,184 millions to the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire to finance the Emergency Food Production Programme under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (2PAU-CI/AEFPF). The programme goal is to cushion the impact of exogenous shocks and strengthen the country's food sovereignty. It comprises three components: (i) Improving Access to Certified Seeds and Advisory Support; (ii) Improving Access to Fertilizers; (iii) Improving Governance and Implementation of Agricultural Sector Public Policies. The main expected outcomes are a 30% increase in food production by (i) establishing a digital platform for the supply of climate-resilient seeds and quality fertilizers as well as extension and agro-climate information services; (ii) financing the supply of inputs (fertilizers and improved seeds); and (iii) strengthening the institutional framework of agricultural input quality control services.

The programme aims to strengthen the country's food sovereignty by reducing its dependence on imports of staple cereals and starchy food products. The specific programme objective is to reduce the country's dependence on imports of staple cereals (rice and maize) in the short and medium term and to boost cassava production.

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 AfDB

The Independent Review Mechanism (IRM), which is administered by the Compliance Review and Mediation Unit (CRMU), is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an African Development Bank (AfDB)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may assist you by either seeking to address your problems by facilitating a dispute resolution dialogue between you and those implementing the project and/or investigating whether the AfDB complied with its policies to prevent environmental and social harms. You can submit a complaint electronically by emailing crmuinfo@afdb.org, b.kargougou@afdb.org, b.fall@afdb.org, and/or s.toure@afdb.org. You can learn more about the IRM and how to file a complaint at: https://www.afdb.org/en/independent-review-mechanism/
