The Mini Hydropower Plants and Related Distribution Networks Development Project (PDM-Hydro) is part of the Scaling up Renewable Energy Programme (SREP) approved for Mali by the Climate Investment Fund (CIF) in November 2011.

The PDM-Hydro project aims to contribute to the improvement of renewable power supply and enhance access to electricity in the project area.
The project will be implemented over the 2018-2022 period.
It will benefit the population and economic operators in the regional provinces of Mopti and Ségou, and will connect 12,500 households and economic operators to the network operated by “Société Energie du Mali” EDM-SA.

The project is a standalone investment operation that will be financed from a TAF grant, a European Union grant and the Malian national budget.
The option of parallel financing of project activities was preferred to avoid difficulties that might arise from incompatibilities of procurement rules and procedures of the various donors.

The project is co-financed by the European Union for UA 20.03 million (or EUR 24.42 million) and by the Malian Government for UA 0.05 million.
The Bank will finance the costs of institution building, project management and, in part, infrastructure.
The activities to be financed by the European Union include developing and equipping the Djenné power station and part of the associated distribution network.
The Government of Mali will finance the project's environmental and social impact mitigation measures.

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/.
