Full environmental and social details will be assessed during appraisal of the underlining projects, with particular focus on infrastructure, which are the projects that will require relevant construction work, and environmental and social studies may be required by the Bank.
The Bank will require the Promoters of the underlining projects to ensure that implementation of the project will be done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
