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 enhance the accessibility, efficiency, and transparency of selected citizen-centric judicial services, in Zanzibar.

Components
Component 1: Access to Justice Services
Component 2: Court Efficiency
Component 3: Citizen and Stakeholders Engagement

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.

Environmental and social risks are rated as Moderate. The risks associated with the construction or renovation of ‘smart’ courts in select locations, including equipment and facilities are generally low, temporary and easily managed with the application of environmental, health and safety (EHS) mitigation measures. Some of the project impacts are related to (i) traffic management during the construction phase, (ii) disposal and management of waste/spoil during the construction phase, (iii) occupational health and safety of workers, (iv) nuisances related to air and noise emissions from construction activities, (v) potential e-waste generation during the operation phase, and (vi) community health and safety.

The social risks are assessed to be moderate. All constructions and renovations are expected to be done on either existing structure or government-owned plots; therefore, land acquisition is not anticipated. However, activities involve institutional capacity building and change management to address current gaps in access, efficiency and transparency delivering justice services.
