This Environmental and Social Assessment Report (ESAR) has been prepared based on the social and environment screening procedure (UNDP’s SESP, Version July 2022) that was completed as part of the project design phase, and consultations carried out on behalf of UNDP during the project preparation phase with the project partner and stakeholders in government, local communities and civil society entities. 

The present ESAR discusses the assessment of the 8 risks identified for the Project and proposes an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESPM) to adequately manage and monitor these risks throughout Project implementation.
