The Request for Inspection was submitted on December 24, 2020, by four community members from the project area in Kazakhstan. The Requesters have authorized a representative to represent them during the Panel process. The Requesters have asked the Panel to keep their identities confidential. The Request for Inspection pertained to five issues. First, the Requesters alleged that in 2017 eight houses were flooded and sustained material damage as a result of poorly maintained drains for which the project was responsible but not all homeowners were compensated. Second, they alleged that roadworks associated with the project caused floods that blocked private wells, cut off access to a canal that used to supply local households with irrigation water, and disrupted access to natural spring water from an adjacent mountain range. Third, the Requesters alleged that their village has seen an increase in road traffic accidents linked to the roadworks. They also claimed that traffic safety plans have not been adequately consulted on or disclosed to the public. Fourth, the Requesters claimed that a crossing point for cattle under the road was partially blocked with debris because of gravel from the roadworks. Finally, the Requesters alleged a general lack of meaningful consultation and disclosure of information concerning the project, in addition to the alleged inadequate disclosure of the traffic safety plans. In substance, the Requesters allege non-compliance with the Bank’s Policy on Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01).
