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 bank documents, the project objective is to support the Government of Zimbabwe to build capacity for managing the recovery process and promote resilience and stability. The project would have the following activities:

  1. Capacity and institutional strengthening: Support to be provided to strengthen Government’s capacity for disaster recovery and resilience at both the national level and local government structures in the cyclone affected districts:
    1. At the national level, activities could aim to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Local Government, Public Works, and National Housing (MLGPWNH), through the Department of Civil Protection (DCP), to coordinate recovery efforts in response to both rapid and slow-onset
      disasters. 
    2. At the local level, activities could focus on providing training and building capacity of the Civil Protection Committees and rural Development Committees at District, Ward and Village levels to allow these to engage with and coordinate the cyclone response, as part of their delegated
      responsibility.
  2. System for Beneficiary Identification: This component would support Government’s capacity to rapidly collect and compile data and information on beneficiaries: lists, profiles, service delivery usage, and livelihoods requirements in the cyclone affected areas

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
