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 bank's website, the Economic Resilience and Green Recovery Support Programme II (ERGRSP-II) is the second in a 3-year programmatic series, for the years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The ERGRSP-II operation aims to consolidate and deepen the reforms initiated under the ERGRSP-I operation while ensuring effective sequencing of reforms. It continues to support reforms that align with Seychelles’ Vision 2033, the National Development Strategy (NDS) 2024-2028, and the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF, 2024-2026). ERGRSP-II maintains the same three mutually reinforcing and complementary components of ERGRSP-I: (i) Component 1: Advancing governance and economic management reforms; (ii) Component 2: Improving business competitiveness and economic diversification; and (iii) Component 3: Enhancing environmental and climate resilience and economic inclusivity. This second phase of the three-year programmatic series will cost US$ 25 million.

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/
