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 objective of the project is to increase access to enhanced water supply and sanitation services in an operationally efficient manner in Addis Ababa and selected secondary cities. To support the Government of Ethiopia and selected cities and towns to achieve their targets, the project will adopt six broad principles: (i) integrated city-wide sanitation improvement approach that caters for diverse needs, and that would offer a range of service options for different settlement types; (ii) a stepped or phased enabling approach that will offer the opportunity for towns to pursue infrastructure investment and for regions to build on lessons and scale up the intervention; (iii) the development of a chain of services in every city to collect, transport, treat and dispose of liquid waste safely; (iv) the promotion of public awareness and enhanced social engagement; (v) improving the efficiency of water and sanitation utilities; and (vi) encourage and facilitate the involvement of the private sector. Project Beneficiaries- The primary project beneficiaries are expected to be 3.38 million people (50 percent of them women) residing in Addis Ababa and the selected 22 towns, of which 2.76 million will benefit from improved sanitation facilities and 623,000 from access to improved water supply services. The project will facilitate the creation of job opportunities for women and youths through the economic opportunities related to the management and operation of water and sanitation service delivery. The project will outsource the management of public sanitation facilities to local youth groups, providing job opportunities to the unemployed. Poor households, which in most cases represent the most vulnerable, will be particularly targeted to benefit from public and communal latrines.

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 WORLD BANK The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. You can learn more about the Inspection Panel and how to file a complaint at: http://ewebapps.worldbank.org/apps/ip/Pages/Home.aspx.
