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 project development objective is to improve biodiversity conservation in biodiversity hotspots located in four
Caribbean countries (Dominican Republic and Antigua and Barbuda with adaptive replication in Jamaica and Saint
Lucia) through collaborative social accountability mechanisms between governments, citizens and civil society
organizations (CSOs).

The project will employ a threefold approach for achieving the PDO:
• First, developing, testing, adjusting and iterating sustainable collaborative social accountability mechanisms
and processes for protecting biodiversity hotspots;
• Second, developing and iterating a capacity development model to increase civil society-government
capacities for joint monitoring and problem-solving; and,
• Third, producing adaptive learning on the use of collaborative social accountability for biodiversity
conservation.
At the local level, the project will employ inclusive participation methods focused on engaging and empowering poor
and marginalized populations, especially women, youth, the disabled and ethnic minorities, that are particularly
vulnerable to the deleterious impact of biodiversity degradation and climate change resilience.

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 THE 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. Information on how to file a complaint and a complaint request form are available at: https://www.inspectionpanel.org/how-to-file-complaint
