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 documents, the livestock sub-sector's goal is to transform small-scale livestock farming into sustainable commercialised value chains which contribute to income generation, poverty reduction and employment creation. The project's objective is to contribute to poverty reduction through enhanced sustainable use of livestock infrastructure for improved livestock production and productivity, commercialisation and institutional capacity building. This will lead to improved household food and nutrition security, and incomes. SLIMP outcomes include (i) enhanced incomes of small-scale livestock farmers including entrepreneurs, and (ii) empowerment of livestock-keeping farmer organisations through improved access to public and private sector services.

The Sustainable Livestock Infrastructure Management Project (SLIMP) is in line with Zambia's National Vision 2030 and Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP: 2017-2021). Based on the strategy of economic diversification, the Government has launched a nationwide programme to scale-up development of the livestock sub-sector and enhance its contribution to the national economy. The livestock sub-sector is an important source of economic growth, job creation, and household incomes, which contribute to poverty reduction. This is a stand-alone investment Project aimed at promoting sustainable livestock value chain development in Zambia. The Project consists of three (3) components namely: (a) Technologies for African Agriculture Transformation (TAAT)-based Climate Resilient Livestock Production and Productivity; (b) Infrastructure Development, Management and Commercialisation; and (c) Institutional Support and Capacity Building. The Project cost, including physical and price contingencies, is UA 9.02 million. It will be implemented over a period of 3 years.

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/
