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 Project Development Objective (PDO) is to strengthen the institutional capacity of SADC and participating countries to produce, disseminate and use quality statistics while increasing regional harmonization and collaboration.

An Additional Financing (AF) in the amount of US$60 million equivalent is proposed to the Republic of Mozambique for the SADC Regional Statistics Project (P175731). The AF will scale up the regional project by adding Mozambique to the scope of the project. The Project Development Objective (PDO) will remain the same.

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 environmental risk rating is considered 'Moderate' due to some potential adverse risks and impacts on the physical environment that are likely to be non significant, temporary, site specific, reversible and easily mitigated. The project will not support major civil works or new construction although there may be some minor civil works during establishment of data and training centers and installation of some equipment and materials, such as upgraded IT systems.
