According to these policies the Bank classifies proposed projects into one of three categories, depending on the type, location, sensitivity, and scale of the project and the nature and magnitude of its potential environmental impacts. The Kariba dam rehabilitation Project has been classified as Category A under the WB safeguard policies and a Category I under the AfDB. A proposed project is classified as Category A/I if it is likely to have significant adverse environmental impacts that are sensitive, diverse, or unprecedented. For a Category A/I project, the Recipient is responsible for preparing a report, such as an ESIA. Bank policy also requires that an environmental assessment is initiated as early as possible in project processing and is integrated closely with the economic, financial, institutional, social, and technical analyses of a project. The commissioning of an environmental assessment is the responsibility of the Recipient and the Bank reviews the findings and recommendations of the ESIA to determine whether they provide an adequate basis for decision making with regard to the project. The Bank supports the protection, maintenance, and Natural Habitats (OP & BP 4.04) rehabilitation of natural habitats and their functions in its economic and sector work, project financing, and policy dialogue and expects borrowers to apply, a precautionary approach to natural resource management.
