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 Program and Project Development Objectives (PDO) are to: (i) improve local government financing; and (ii) enhance the performance of participating urban local governments in managing public investments.

The parent program (PP), Municipal and Agglomerations Support Program (Programme d’Appui aux Communes et Agglomérations du Sénégal, PACASEN), supports the GoS in operationalizing the PROACTSEN by improving LG financing and enhancing their performance in managing public investments.

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 Risk Rating is Moderate.  Environmental and Social risk rating was changed from Substantial to Moderate due to implementation of the environmental and social audit recommendations in line with national regulations, stakeholder training sessions, and recruitment of a safeguard expert.
