Public accountability

Clear information. Public safeguards. No unnecessary exposure.

The public site separates information citizens and partners need from operational detail that belongs in formal project-management, fiduciary or procurement systems.

Safeguards

Growth with environmental and social responsibility.

The project's safeguards instruments were prepared, reviewed and publicly disclosed. Community consultation is part of the project design, alongside environmental and social management measures and a grievance redress mechanism.

The technical annex confirms a Category 1 environmental and social risk classification. It also records the preparation and disclosure of Environmental and Social Impact Assessments for Kambia and Port Loko, a Resettlement Action Plan, Pest Management Plan, Stakeholder Engagement Plan and Grievance Redress Mechanism.

Public consultation forms part of the safeguards process. The website therefore links directly to the publicly disclosed African Development Bank documentation rather than reproducing sensitive household-level impact details or internal case information.

What the public site will show

  • Project objectives, locations, components and planned outputs.
  • High-level financing and public financier information.
  • Publicly disclosed safeguards and grievance information.
  • Target beneficiaries and planned impact indicators.
  • Official public documents and project status updates when available.

What the public site will not show

  • Individual staff salaries or allowances.
  • Vendor unit rates and internal procurement evaluation material.
  • Contractor-specific recommendations before formal processes are complete.
  • Personal information about affected households or complainants.
  • Internal deliberations, draft legal advice or confidential fiduciary material.
Public disclosure is not the same as publishing everything.Good transparency makes important information easy to find while protecting personal data, procurement integrity and legitimate confidential project management.
Environmental resilience

Climate-smart by design.

Climate-resilient rice system illustration

The project design includes improved water management, climate-resilient varieties, training in sustainable land and water management, improved access infrastructure and measures intended to reduce climate-related post-harvest disruption.

A practical resilience agenda

The climate assessment identifies flooding, waterlogging, salinisation, changing rainfall and rising temperatures as important risks to agriculture. SLERAZ addresses these through irrigation and water management, suitable rice varieties, stronger farmer capacity and climate-conscious infrastructure.

The technical climate assessment also records the project as aligned with the Paris Agreement objectives and with Sierra Leone's national climate commitments.
