USIF Executive Committee preliminary endorsed the Environmental and Social Management Framework for USIF VII Project
Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been developed to minimize potential negative environmental and social impacts and to maximize benefits to local communities and the environment in the result of USIF VII Project implementation. ESMF provides a comprehensive framework on management of potentially adverse social and environmental impacts within the Project and includes targeted mitigation and compensation measures compatible with World Bank standards for environmental protection and social security.
ESMF has been developed on the basis of the provisions of the Separate Agreement of 12.08.2019 to the Financing and Project Agreement of May 20, 2019, in particular, its paragraph II.2.2. and in compliance with environmental, social, safety and health requirements and in accordance with requirements of USIF Operational Manual (Manual/OM), set out in Section 6 ‘Policies, Rules and Procedures of Environmental and Social Impact of Subprojects’, in Annex IV to OM and intended to detail ‘Improvement of Rural Basic Health (USIF VII)’ Project implementation.
ESMF has been developed as a practical guide of application of preventive environmental and social measures to be used by USIF Subproject Implementation Partners (SIPs) at SPs implementation, by USIF local consultants, community members, local government representatives, contractors involved in SPs implementation as well as by general public in the regions of the Project implementation.
On the basis of the decision of USIF Executive Committee on its preliminary endorsement, ESMF is published on USIF’s web-site.
All interested parties are kindly invited to familiarize themselves with the document and until 20.06.2020 submit to USIF corresponding comments and suggestions for their consideration and possible incorporation into the final version of ESMF.
