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 Operation will support the Government of Angola to achieve more sustainable and inclusive growth, through (i) a macro-financial and institutional environment that is conducive to private-sector led growth; and (ii) financial and social inclusion.

The series’ Program Development Objectives (PDOs) are to support the government to achieve more sustainable and inclusive growth, through (i) a macro-financial and institutional environment that is conducive to private-sector led growth; and (ii) financial and social inclusion. The reforms under the two objectives mutually reinforce each other and are expected to make the country more resilient to shocks, raise investor confidence, and foster fiscal sustainability and private-sector-led growth over the medium-term. The operation is organized around two pillars, each including several policy areas:

Pillar 1: Strengthening the macro-financial and institutional environment. Policy areas include: strengthening natural resource management; strengthening financial sector resilience; strengthening management and commercial viability of SOEs; supporting pricing and subsidy reform for financial sustainability and effective service provision; and leveling the playing field for private investment.

Pillar 2: Protecting the poor and vulnerable. Policy areas include: protecting the poor and vulnerable from shocks; and increasing access to finance.

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.
