| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
|---|---|
| During Project Design | Stakeholders will be consulted during the project preparation. PPTA Consultant has been engaged to undertake comprehensive analysis and stakeholders consultations (in accordance with ADB's Social Safeguard Policy) to factor in all land acquisition, resettlement and environmental considerations into projects design. |
| During Project Implementation | Consultation and information sharing with local communities will be made. Necessary social safeguards and environmental analyses will be undertaken and updated once the design work is initiated for sub-projects. Relevant documentation will be approved by ADB before contractor could be mobilized to undertake construction activities at project sites. Collaboration with stakeholders will be promoted to ensure compliance with national standards as well as ADB policies. A Final Report on Renewable Energy Development was submitted and presented in a workshop in Dec 2016. |
Business Opportunities
| Consulting Services | A PPTA Consultant (firm) comprising of international and national experts was engaged and mobilized in October 2014. The PPTA Consultant, among other tasks, will undertake necessary due diligence for processing the loan for the project, and assist the pre-implementation works. The PPTA will also adequately address the following aspects relating to the ensuing loan project: (i) improved policy and regulation framework for promotion of biomass cogeneration investment projects; and (ii) detailed loan executing agency capacity assessment, and suggested remedial action plan to build the executing agency and the implementing agency capacity to minimize procurement and financial management risks. An Inception Report was submitted in February 2015 identifying possible options for renewable energy sources in AZE. An Interim Report was submitted in May 2015 and finalized in September 2015. SAARES confirmed in early 2016 its commitment in promoting renewable energy (RE) development with a comprehensive development plan in place. A Final Report on Renewable Energy Development was submitted and presented in a workshop in Dec 2016. |
