Description

1. The Compliance Review and Mediation Unit (BCRM) received within three months several complaints relating to the Abidjan Urban Transport Project (AUTP). This project is financed by the African Development Bank Group (AfDB). The complainants, a mixed group of a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) and individuals representing the people affected by the project (PAPs), are: (i)    The Mouvement Colombe Ivoire and the Civil Society Platform for the Defence of Interests of Persons and Property comprising representatives of the Wives of the Impacted Houses of the Santé 3 Extension, the Association of Widows of Santé 3 and the Association of Dynamic Women of Santé 3; (ii)    The residents of Boribana; and (iii)    The Chief of the Traditional Authority of Adjamé Village. 6. The chief of the Adjamé village and his constituency expressed worries about the construction of an access road to the 4th Bridge claiming that it will destroy several valuable cultural heritage and religious structures and sites in addition to other prejudice they will suffer. The Government and project promotor have refused to make the project documents available to them, failed to engage them in meaningful consultation and rejected their request for diverting the road to avoid destruction of the previously mentioned sites.
