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 Niger Refugees and Host Communities Support Project is to improve access to basic services and economic opportunities for refuges and host communities in select areas in the Republic of Niger. There are four components to the project, the first component being community infrastructure for improved access to basic public services. This component will finance labor intensive, small scale infrastructure rehabilitation and construction provided, through the contracting of local private sector construction firms and temporary employment opportunities for beneficiaries. The second component is the support to economic opportunities. The objective of the component is to improve access to economic opportunities for forcibly displaced and host communities in selected project areas. The third component is the coordination and institutional development. The component will finance capacity building of local and regional authorities (municipal councils, regional councils and the decentralized technical services) and central government authorities to strengthen their ability to manage current and future crises as well as engage in recovery planning. Finally, the fourth component is the project management.

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.
