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, the objective of this project is to strengthen national and local government systems to implement national climate strategies and deliver locally led climate resilience actions in selected districts.

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

The overall environmental and social (E&S) risks are preliminarily assessed as substantial. The scope of subprojects to be undertaken under the Program will range from small to medium scale infrastructure related to climate change adaptation in the sectors of agriculture, water, forestry, livestock, fisheries, and coastal and marine environment, among others.

Recent ESSAs have been undertaken in Tanzania mainland in the education, health, and agriculture sectors and in Zanzibar - in public financial management and procurement systems. The mainland ESSAs indicate capacity gaps within MDAs, including PO-RALG, PO RALG SD, the LGAs, and other key agencies in managing E&S risks. These environmental, social, health and safety (HS) risk management gaps and challenges have also been identified in a country E&S client capacity assessment carried out in 2023 in both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar.

Investment Description
Here you can find a list of individual development financial institutions that finance the project.

The SCALE Program will be financed by a US$100 million IDA Credit and a US$10.0 million Multi-Donor Trust Fund (SSI4All) over a five-year period.

Total Government Contribution: US$ 890.00 million
