Development Finance Advisory

MDB-ready E&S and OHS advisory for infrastructure programmes.

Procyon supports project proponents, PMUs, and consortium bidders on World Bank, ADB, and AIIB-financed programmes — from safeguards documentation and ESMP implementation through to contractor EHS management, PMU capacity building, and incident review.

What We Do

Six service lines for MDB-financed programmes.

World Bank / ADB / AIIB Support

E&S compliance advisory for projects financed by the World Bank, ADB, and AIIB — from IFC Performance Standards through to World Bank ESF and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement alignment.

  • IFC PS and World Bank ESF compliance advisory
  • ADB SPS categorisation and compliance gap analysis
  • Lender due diligence preparation and supervision support
  • E&S documentation for project appraisal and board approval

Contractor EHS Management

Structured EHS qualification, monitoring, and performance management for contractors on MDB-financed construction and infrastructure programmes — aligned to lender supervision requirements.

  • Contractor EHS qualification and pre-mobilisation review
  • Site EHS monitoring and inspection protocols
  • Contractor EHS performance reporting framework
  • Incident management and lender escalation procedures

ESMP Implementation Support

Operationalisation of Environmental and Social Management Plans from lender-approved documents into functioning site systems — with monitoring, reporting, and compliance tracking.

  • ESMP monitoring and reporting system setup
  • ESMP compliance tracking and corrective action management
  • ESMP update and revision for scope or design changes
  • Progress reporting aligned to lender supervision missions

PMU Capacity Building

Targeted training and knowledge transfer for Project Management Units and PIUs on MDB E&S requirements — building in-house capability that sustains compliance beyond the engagement.

  • PMU E&S capability needs assessment
  • Tailored training on MDB E&S frameworks
  • ESMS documentation and procedure development
  • Ongoing coaching and peer review support

Safeguards Documentation

Preparation of the full suite of MDB safeguards documentation — from screening memos and resettlement plans through to grievance mechanism design and public disclosure requirements.

  • Safeguards screening reports and categorisation memos
  • Resettlement and livelihood planning documentation
  • Grievance mechanism design and operationalisation
  • Public consultation and disclosure documentation

Incident Review & CAPs

OHS incident investigation and Corrective Action Plan development for MDB-financed programmes — structured for lender reporting, safeguard compliance, and systemic improvement.

  • OHS incident investigation and root cause analysis
  • Corrective Action Plans for safeguard non-compliances
  • Regulatory and lender reporting on incidents and CAPs
  • Lessons learned and system improvement follow-up

Why Procyon

MDB requirements are specific.
Our experience matches them.

Development bank programmes carry E&S requirements that differ materially from commercial project advisory. IFC Performance Standards, World Bank ESF, and ADB SPS each have their own categorisation logic, disclosure timelines, grievance mechanism requirements, and monitoring obligations.

Procyon practitioners have worked inside these frameworks — not just read them. We bring direct World Bank programme delivery experience in South Asia, combined with process safety and OHS depth that most E&S-only consultancies cannot match.

Frameworks We Work Inside

Our team has delivered against IFC Performance Standards, World Bank ESF, and ADB SPS requirements — in programme implementation, not just advisory preparation. We know where each framework's obligations are most likely to create compliance gaps.

South Asia Track Record

WB-Financed Programme Delivery

Procyon practitioners have supported World Bank-financed infrastructure programmes in South Asia — delivering OHS advisory, PMU capacity building, and E&S monitoring frameworks under active lender supervision.

Process Safety + E&S Coverage

Depth Across Both Disciplines

MDB infrastructure programmes carry OHS obligations that most E&S-only consultancies cannot address. Procyon's process safety and OHS depth means we cover the full scope of lender requirements without gaps.
