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 the Bank's website, this project aims to finance the growth of a competitive livestock sector in Kazakhstan. This will entail three results areas:

1. Improve access to international markets by: (i) establishing an effective traceability system; (ii) improving the quality of veterinary service delivery for safe meat production aligned with export orientation; and (iii) seeking to reduce the environmental footprint of the livestock sector in Kazakhstan  

2. Support jobs and improve incomes in rural areas through: (i) improved management and utilisation of existing grasslands and pastures; (ii) increasing small and medium livestock farmers' access to grassland and pasture resources; (iii) supporting infrastructure upgrades to increase the quality and quantity of fodder; and (iv) promoting market linkages and service provision for small and medium farmers

3. Improve efficiency of public expenditures 

The identified environmental risks include the following: (i) soil erosion due to overgrazing; (ii) water quality deterioration due to leakages of manure and other residue; (iii) increase of dust and particulate matter in the air due to degraded grazing areas and feedlots; (iv) increased noise at the feedlots; (v) increased GHG emissions (methane and CO2 emissions) from manure and animal wastes and reduced carbon sequestration capacity of land used for grazing; (vi) biodiversity loss due to grazing and reclaiming territory for feed production; (vii) water resource decrease; and (viii) trespassing of the territory on nature reserves

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.
