5 Socil nd Integrted Agri. Project Project fcts: Objectives: The project development objective is to increse the implementtion of lnd nd biodiversity conservtion mesures in selected projects directed to smll frmers locted in trgeted mrginl res of the project re. Finncing (US$): 41m (GEF 6m, Borrower 35m) Environmentl Ctegory: B Sfegurds Triggered: Environment Assessment (OP 4.01) Sfegurds Instruments: Environmentl nd Socil Impct Assessment Frmework (ESIAF) Approved: Mrch 2013 Project Description: Component 1 Development of cpcities of public nd privte institutions on lnd nd biodiversity conservtion. This includes support for: trining, studies, wreness rising, nd M&E. Component 2 Implementtion of lnd nd biodiversity conservtion mesures to smll frmers in 2 trget regions: Souss-Mss-Dr nd Mrrkech-Tensift-Al Houz. In prticulr, 8 ASIMA sub-projects hve been identified. Activities to be supported include: works nd goods, trining, wreness cmpigns, M&E. 5

8 Implementtion of Sfegurd Policies (Actul) Key environmentl impcts/risks: ESIAF ws prepred for this project. The sfegurds pproch ws to put in plce E&S mngement system/screening for the ASIMA sub-projects. The typology of sub-projects were defined nd prescribed ctions proposed for ech sub-group of ctivities to meet Bnk nd ntionl policies. Some required ESIAs, some required ESMPs bsed on risk profiles identified in ESIAF. Environmentl impcts include: wter resources, soil erosion, biodiversity, crop residue nd other wstes, etc. Key fetures of ssessment nd implementtion: Project is integrl prt of Pillr II of Pln Mroc Vert complements existing PMV investments nd smll frmers Lnd nd biodiversity conservtion nd CDD re key design elements to support more integrted pproch to mnging gro-ecosystems nd gri-food chins. Key socil impcts/risks: No socil sfegurds policies were triggered. However, ny voluntry lnd dontion ws to be reviewed in ccordnce with Bnk policies. Given the nture of the project CDD- focus on smll frmers in mrginl res project design ws grounded in mesures to ddress vulnerbility nd socil inclusion nd ensuring mechnisms for tht inclusion nd decision mking process. Key fetures of ssessment nd implementtion: Promotion of socil inclusion with prticulr ttention to femle smll frmers Inclusion grounded in supporting inititives like the PMV nd MENA DELP (Desert Ecosystems nd Livelihood Progrm) which highlight the need for inclusion

9 ESS1: Assessment & Mngement of E & S Risks & Impcts New Requirements/Approches? Scope? Effort? expertise? Vlue? Use of Borrower s E & S System to the extent possible Applicble elements of Borrower s Frmework (EIA, etc.) WB ssessment of pplicble lws, regultions, prctices, bsed on informtion provided by Borrower: cn it deliver outputs consistent with the ESS? cpcity building investments? Minimize incrementl requirements, recognize nd strengthen country systems E & S Assessment Assessment of socil issues more explicitly integrted into ESIAF Some dditionl effort perhps in the Socil Assessment prt of the ESIAF to include more focused ssessment on other vulnerble groups ffected by the project or included in the project. Socil issues more focused, specific reference to vulnerble groups E & S Commitment Pln Expnded version of EMP, including both E & S requirements Limited dditionl effort, s EMP includes monitoring, cpcity building, etc. Specific time bound ction plns could be dded. The lon greement for this project included specific mesures not just reference to the ESIAF. Consolidted Pln for E&S requirements Project Monitoring & Reporting More explicit requirements, throughout life of project Risk clssifiction chnges over project implementtion, no need for forml restructuring 9

10 ESS2: Lbor & Working Conditions New Requirements? Scope? Effort? Expertise? Vlue? Working Conditions & Mngement of Worker Reltionships Applies to people engged in work on project ctivities, including contrcted workers Assess pplicble ntionl lws/regultions; provisions in ESCP for ny gp filling (implementtion nd monitoring) Protecting the Work Force Applies to ll project workers Effort level low s principles of OHS re included in bidding documents nd EHSGs. Grievnce Mechnism Applies to ll project workers My be dded to ESMP or SEP Occuptionl Helth & Sfety (OHS) Applies to ll project workers OHS mesure generlly included ESMP nd EHSGs. However, ppliction is more explicit. Contrcted Workers Workers in Community Lbor Primry Supply Workers Applies to workers engged by contrctors doing civil works Community lbor on project ctivities Applies to workers of primry suppliers of construction mterils (building ggregte, snd nd cly, etc.) Review of written lbor mngement procedures/prctices PIU to ensure relevnt protections in contrcts, monitor complince If so, confirmtion of voluntry lbor is required If relevnt, dditionl work required to scertin ny significnt risk of hrmful child lbor or forced lbor. PIU to ensure relevnt protections in contrcts, monitor complince 10

11 ESS3: Resource Efficiency & Pollution Prevention & Mngement New Requirements? Scope? Effort? Expertise? Vlue? Resource Efficiency Significnt user of energy, wter nd rw mterils. Limited incrementl effort s resource efficiency issues lrgely prt of project design, but my include more explicit trgets nd monitoring Pollution Prevention & Mngement Requires direct GHG emissions estimtion nd reporting for projects expected to produce significnt level of emissions. Threshold TBD nd set out in Guidnce. If pplicble, moderte level of effort to mesure nd monitor GHG emissions. Clerer requirement to pply EHSGs, direct link with broder CC gend 11

12 ESS4: Community Helth & Sfety New Requirements? Scope? Effort? Expertise Vlue? Community Helth & Sfety Impcts of project ctivities on community H&S Seems miniml given tht issues relted to pesticides will not be purchsed nd it is not expected tht there would be n increse in use. Security Personnel N/A 12

13 ESS5: Lnd Acquisition, Restrictions on Lnd Use & Involuntry Resettlement New Requirements? Scope? Effort? Expertise Vlue? Generl No chnge Greter clrity on voluntry lnd dontions. Displcement Collbortion with Other Responsible Agencies or Subntionl Jurisdictions Technicl & Finncil Assistnce 13

14 ESS6: Biodiversity Conservtion & Sustinble Mngement of Living Nturl Resources New Requirements? Scope? Effort? Expertise Vlue? Generl Primry Suppliers Address both nturl nd modified hbitts; biodiversity nd ecosystem services; on-ground nd eril components of hbitt; direct nd indirect impcts No expected sourcing of living nturl resources Project design nd ESIAF review the impcts of the grifood chin process of olive, cctus, rgn, red met, bee keeping nd MAPs (medicinl nd romtic plnts) production/expnsion. Project design tkes into considertion key prctices for sustinble mngement of living nturl resources like prticiption of communities, mngement plnning, nd good interntionl industry prctice (GIIP) Miniml effort, but would need to be included in the ESIAF 14

15 ESS8: Culturl Heritge New Requirements? Scope? Effort? Expertise Vlue? Generl Stkeholder Consulttion & Identifiction of Culturl Heritge Miniml s Chnce Finds Procedures could be integrted into ny of the works ctivities Leglly Protected Culturl Heritge Ares Provisions for Specific Types of Culturl Heritge Commerciliztion of Culturl Heritge 15

16 ESS10: Stkeholder Enggement & Informtion Disclosure New Requirements? Scope? Effort? Expertise Vlue? Enggement during Project Preprtion Enggement during Project Implementtion & Externl Reporting Grievnce Mechnism Preprtion of Stkeholder Enggement Pln Active enggement throughout project, beyond estblishing Grievnce Mechnism Little dditionl- nture of the CDD project requires provisions for consulttions. GRM mechnism could be strengthened. Orgniztionl Cpcity & Commitment 16
