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 AfDB website:

The project development objective is to improve transport connectivity between Kenya and South Sudan thereby deepening regional integration and trade and contributing to alleviation of fragility by providing a more efficient, safe and effective cross-border transport system. The specific objective of the project is to improve road transport along the Lesseru – Nadapal – Juba corridor (Kenya/South Sudan) by reducing travel time, travel cost and improving road traffic safety along the project road sections.

he Lesseru – Kitale (55km) and Morpus - Lokichar Road (138km) sections form part of the Lesseru – Nadapal – Kapoeta - Juba (945km) (Kenya- South Sudan) corridor, a strategic regional route, interconnecting Kenya and South Sudan. Indeed, the road corridor buttresses the regional transport network by linking the Northern Corridor at Lesseru with the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor at Lokichar.

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/
