Abstract
The objective of this good practice note
(GPN) on dam safety is to provide additional guidance to
World Bank staff on the application of relevant requirements
under the environmental and social framework (ESF). This GPN
provides guidance on using a risk management approach to the
application of the dam safety requirements. The guidance
contained in this note is designed to enhance the quality of
practice without creating new requirements for the
application of the ESF. The GPN provides guidance on
compliance requirements, a risk management approach to dam
safety, risk analysis tools, quality of information and
capacity, application to World Bank operations, and
procedural aspects. The GPN pertains to: (a) construction of
new dams or dams under construction (DUC) under investment
project financing (IPF); (b) rehabilitation of existing dams
under IPF; and (c) existing dams or DUC that are not
financed under IPF, on which the project relies or may rely.
