Learn how Ksapa developed an IFC-compliant migration strategy for a multinational energy infrastructure project across multiple countries. Our client, a major construction and civil engineering company, was selected for a €388 million infrastructure project. This 48-month construction project would employ 1,000 people at peak capacity, all recruited and trained locally. The project, funded by international investors, required strict adherence to international standards, particularly IFC Performance Standards. Our client sought to prepare a comprehensive contingency plan addressing project-induced in-migration.
THE CHALLENGE
This emblematic project will power a vast, complex territory spanning multiple countries. High territorial expectations and international standards compliance were crucial for securing international funding.
The project’s multi-state nature and territorial complexity presented significant challenges regarding population displacement, particularly concerning training and employment opportunities.
Ksapa was commissioned to develop a project-induced in-migration contingency plan aligned with international banking standards.
OUR APPROACH
Ksapa leveraged its proprietary tools to create:
- A comprehensive stakeholder mapping encompassing hundreds of entities including local authorities, economic actors, communities, NGOs, and partners affected by the project
- A thorough risk assessment framework evaluating over 100 potential risks across social, environmental, health, safety, and other critical domains
These insights enabled our client to develop an informed risk minimization strategy.
RESULTS & NEXT STEPS
The migration contingency plan presented by Ksapa included:
- Prioritized risk assessment matrix
- Time-bound action plans for each risk category
- Area-specific implementation strategies
- Stakeholder engagement frameworks
This comprehensive plan met international banking requirements and enabled our client to proactively address potential risks through targeted initiatives.
