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 stated objective of this project is to: "increase the provision for long-term financing for infrastructure and to build capacity for infrastructure finance to promote private sector-led infrastructure development in Bangladesh."

Sub-projects may be funded and implemented nationwide. Since exact locations and/or expected environmental and social footprint of the sub-projects are not fully known at this stage (and will not be known until specific proposals are received from the client), a framework approach will be adopted for the project, building on the success and lessons learned from IPFF I.

All sub-projects are expected to constitute private sector activities and are executed through PFIs, which are commercial private sector financial institutions. In addition, IFC may co-finance some of 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.

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.
