dam safety measures and remedial work are implemented. The proposed project will not fund any investments that involve the construction of new dams. OP 7.50 Projects in International Waters The objective of this policy is to ensure that Bank-financed projects affecting international waterways would not affect: (i) relations between the Bank and its borrowers and between states (whether members of the Bank or not); and (ii) the efficient utilization and protection of international waterways. The policy applies to the following of projects: (a) Hydroelectric, irrigation, flood control, navigation, drainage, water and sewerage, industrial and similar projects that involve the use or potential pollution of international waterways; and (b) Detailed design and engineering studies of projects under (a) above, include those carried out by the Bank as executing agency or in any other capacity. This policy is triggered if (a) any river, canal, lake or similar body of water that forms a boundary between, or any river or body of surface water that flows through two or more states, whether Bank members or not; (b) any tributary or other body of surface water that is a component of any waterway described under (a); and (c) any bay, gulf strait, or channel bounded by two or more states, or if within one state recognized as a necessary channel of communication between the open sea and other states, and any river flowing into such waters. The notification of Malawi’s riparian neighbours has been carried out, and therefore, no additional riparian notifications at the sub-project level are required. OP 7.60 Projects in Disputed Areas The objective of this policy is to ensure that projects in disputed areas are dealt with at the earliest possible stage: (a) so as not to affect relations between the Bank and its member countries; (b) so as not to affect relations between the borrower and neighbouring countries; and (c) so as not to prejudice the position of either the Bank or the countries concerned. This policy will be triggered if the proposed project will be in a “disputed area”. Questions to be answered include: Is the borrower involved in any disputes over an area with any of its neighbours. Is the project situated in a disputed area? Could any component financed or likely to be financed as part of the project situated in a disputed area? The proposed project will not fund any investments in disputed areas.
