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.

The Niger River, whose basin is shared by nine (9) West and Central African States (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Chad), is of paramount importance for residents of the area and the economies of member countries of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA).

Over several decades, the Niger river has experienced growing aridity, dwindling water flows contributing to degradation of natural resources undermining people's living conditions and the biodiversity of the Basin.

The programme comprises 9 national projects implemented by the countries and a regional project carried out by the Niger Basin Authority to ensure synergy.

It is structured around three components:
(i) Building the resilience of ecosystems and natural resources;
(ii) Building the people's resilience; and
(iii) Ensuring programme coordination and management.

The main expected outcomes are:
(a) the recovery of 140 000 ha of degraded land;
(b) the construction of 209 water infrastructure systems for agro-pastoral and fish farming activities;
(c) the implementation of 450 sub-projects for agricultural chain development purposes and 184 youth SMEs;
(d) climate change (CC) adaptation capacity building for 1 000 000 households; and
(e) a sustainable financing mechanism for sustainable natural resource management activities.

The programme will cost USD 205.188 million and will be implemented over a six-year period (2019- 2024).

In the 9 countries, the programme will directly benefit 4 million people, 51% of whom are women.
The direct beneficiaries also include smallholder farmers and vulnerable groups (women and young people) promoting the sub-projects.

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/.
