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 Additional Financing for Project 2 of the Programme to Strengthen Resilience to Food and Nutrition Insecurity in the Sahel (P2-P2RS) aims to reinforce the regional programme by scaling up climate-smart agricultural solutions and next-generation climate services. This multinational operation covers nine CILSS member countries—Burkina Faso, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Chad and Togo—while Mauritania benefits from the climate-services component. The additional financing amounts to USD 14.65 million, provided under the Climate Action Window (CAW), complementing the original project cost of UA 218.99 million, financed primarily by the African Development Fund (FAD) with contributions from the CACF, national governments, CILSS, and beneficiaries.

The resources will support three areas:
(i) the dissemination of climate-smart technologies and early-warning services (USD 7.59 million),
(ii) the acceleration of advanced climate-services systems across the Sahel (USD 4.156 million), and
(iii) project management and coordination (USD 1.94 million).

The project is executed by the Executive Secretariat of CILSS with national agricultural ministries and regional technical institutions (INSAH, AGRHYMET).

The development objective of the additional financing is to strengthen the adaptive capacity and climate resilience of Sahelian communities by deploying the “climate-smart village” (CSV) approach around hydro-agricultural infrastructure and improving access to and use of climate information. Specifically, the project seeks to disseminate improved and climate-resilient seed varieties, promote sustainable land restoration practices, ensure community access to innovative and continuous climate-forecasting services, and enhance the use of impact-based climate information for decision-making. The aim is to break the structural cycle of food insecurity by addressing declining productivity, soil degradation, and limited access to climate data—factors that disproportionately affect smallholder farmers, young people, and women.

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/
