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 AfDB, the overall objective is to contribute to the country's food sovereignty to support strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Its specific objective is to sustainably increase agricultural production, jobs and incomes in the project’s target regions, especially by mobilising surface and groundwater.

PROVALE-CV2 also aims to combat climate change impacts on agricultural and livestock production in Senegal by building the adaptive capacities of farms, reducing the level of exposure or vulnerability of the agricultural sector to climate hazards.
At the end of the project, it is expected that agro-sylvo-pastoral and halieutic production capacities will be strengthened through the modernization and reinforcement of production infrastructures.
Around 9,000 ha of valley and lowland and 2,000 ha of vegetable farms will be developed and delivered to producers. By setting up an advisory support system, facilitating access to quality seeds and inputs, strengthening mechanization, introducing new technologies and professionalizing producers, the project aims to improve yields and boost production. The construction of storage, processing and marketing infrastructure comprising 50 multifunctional platforms and 50 solar-powered processing units, combined with the implementation of a support, training and coaching program for promoters, will help to link the various links in the value chain, boost productivity and boost production. Cross-functional actions will promote the management of natural resources sensitive to climate change, and greater involvement of young people and women in production, processing, marketing and service activities.
 
The project interventions will result in the creation and bolstering of jobs for over 33,000 people including 17,000 direct jobs (60% for women and 30% for young people) in processing, poultry breeding, stock breeding and marketing activities, which will contribute to their empowerment, an increase in their incomes and strengthening of their food and nutrition security.
 
The developments and their enhancement as well as investments to develop plant, animal and aquaculture value chains, will, at maximum output, generate additional production of about 61,650 tonnes of rice, 104,300 tonnes of market gardening products, 21.6 tonnes of pork, 750 tonnes of mutton, 152 tonnes of poultry meat, 270,000 litres of unpasteurised milk, 60 tonnes of fish and 11 tonnes of honey.

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/
