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.

As stated by the IADB, the broad objective of this Technical Cooperation (TC) is to study the dual role of infrastructure services in both contributing to and being impacted by climate change. This TC aims to generate evidence-based policy recommendations to facilitate the achievement of two key objectives: net-zero emissions and enhanced resilience of services in the LAC region. The main value added by the present TC will be: i) the generation of today non-existing data and knowledge on the intersection between climate change and infrastructure services in Latin America and the Caribbean; and ii) the identification and evaluation of impactful policies that will allow to achieve net-zero and resilient infrastructure services.

According to project documents, if the outputs are delivered successfully, this will lead to at least three outcomes:
1. Authorities and operators in the LAC water and sanitation sector have started the implementation of policies to achieve resilient and net-zero infrastructure services.
2. Authorities and operators in the LAC energy sector have started the implementation of policies to achieve resilient and net-zero infrastructure services.
3. Authorities and operators in the LAC transport sector have started the implementation of policies to achieve resilient and net-zero infrastructure services.

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.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB

The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
