Project Description
TC funds are sought to support the Private Sector Development and Investment Climate Country Diagnostic Studies (‘Country Diagnostic Studies, CDSs’) that will provide the analytical foundation for policy reform agenda for private sector development in each country of operation in connection with the EBRD Country Strategies.
The objective of the CDSs is to identify what are the key obstacles to well-functioning markets and private sector development in order to prioritise, plan and tailor EBRD operations and policy reform engagements in Country Strategies. The CDSs will offer evidence-based assessments based on both EBRD primary sources of research and data as well as building on existing analysis.T
he Bank is ‘piloting’ such country diagnostic studies, including for Kazakhstan and Egypt, ahead of the start of preparation of Country Strategies that are due in 2016. The first Assignment of this TC framework will cover an initial set of CDSs as the format of the studies is piloted through different approaches.
Project Objectives
EBRD has sufficient information on the gaps in private sector development and investment climate to guide the development of country strategies for the targeted countries.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)
The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)
If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).
IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.
Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
