Bankengruppe ascertain to what extent the relevant legal norms
and institutional framework meet international requirements.
For financings in all countries outside the OECD, the bank
distinguishes between three project categories - "A", "B" and "C",
whereby category A projects have the potential to severely affect
the environment and/or the social conditions; category B projects
for which an impact assessment must be defined on a case-bycase
basis and category C where this is not necessary.
New projects fall in category A and here an analysis of the
ecological and social impacts is compulsory. The necessary
information must be provided by an environmental and social
impact assessment study. The environmental and social action
plan –to be elaborated by the client- is to show the measures
which are necessary to prevent, mitigate, correct and monitor the
negative impacts identified in the environmental and social impact
assessment study; it also must show who is responsible for
implementing the measures and for their costs.
The actual project appraisal is carried out on-site on the basis of
the available information. Among others, it examines the
macroeconomic conditions, the developmental objectives and
indicators; the impacts on poverty reduction, the social and
cultural setting, conflict relevance, environmental protection and
gender equality.

credit programme
KfW appraises the economic, socioeconomic, socio-cultural,
and ecological impacts of the project, including inevitable
side-effects that might occur. In this economic analysis, a
calculation of the project's profitability in the form of a
cost-benefit analysis, and its expected effects on the
developing country's foreign exchange situation and public
finance play a key role. Socioeconomic considerations
encompass the effects of the project on employment, income and
income distribution, and especially on satisfying the needs of the
target group. Socio-cultural aspects, like as the traditional gender
aspects in the work process, or religious taboos, are taken into
consideration. Also the environmental impacts are assessed.
The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to poverty
reduction in selected developing countries, so objectives are:
To support activities contributing to viable economic
growth in the recipient countries;
To improve the social sectors in the recipient countries
and thereby improving living conditions of the
respective populations;
To increase the production of sustainable energy in the
recipient countries, and
To improve the environment of the recipient countries.
All projects supported under the programme are supposed to
contribute to poverty reduction, either directly or indirectly
(economic growth, human development, promoting the
establishment of an enabling environment to the private sector).
In addition, the appraisal document should contain an assessment
of the projects relation to Danida’s overall and cross-cutting
objectives:
