Environmental aspects
While the works primarily involve the rehabilitation of existing pavements within the existing airport boundary, and hence there are expected to be no significant impacts, the Bank will ensure during appraisal that the principles of the EU EIA Directive are observed in assessing what the level of impact might be. The design consultant is to prepare an initial environmental and social assessment followed by a full assessment if required.
Procurement
The promoter will be required to implement the project in accordance with AFD procurement rules and procedures, and in compliance with the requirements and standards agreed between EIB, AFD and KfW for projects under the Mutual Reliance Initiative for operations outside the EU, as foreseen in the Bank’s Guide to Procurement. In particular, calls for international tenders will be published in the OJEU in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement
