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 document, "the proposed Project development objective is to improve the delivery of legal aid and promote the legal empowerment of beneficiaries in selected provinces in the Northern Mountain Region. The principal outcome to the targeted key beneficiaries is that they will have increased knowledge of and access to legal aid for labor, family and land issues, supported by a system of trained, local actors such as legal aid providers and other key figures managing village life. The proposed project is expected to have the following four components:

Component 1: Improved access to and use of legal aid services (estimated $874,000)

Component 2: Improved capacity of legal aid providers (estimated $371,800)

Component 3: Pilots for sustainable delivery and monitoring of legal aid services (estimated $930,100)

Component 4: Project management and administration, monitoring and evaluation, and knowledge dissemination (estimated $324,100)"
