Beirut Critical Environment Recovery, Restoration and Waste Management Program (P176635)
November 19, 2024
In response to this, the Beirut Critical Environment Recovery, Restoration and Waste Management Program was launched. The program is financed by Lebanon Financing Facility (LFF) - a multi donor trust fund administered by the World Bank and is being implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in close coordination with the Ministry of Environment (MoE). One of the activities under this program is the Rehabilitation of the Karantina Sorting Facility (KSF), which was badly damaged by the explosion and is currently not operational. This report presents the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) that includes all the needed safeguards for the works planned for the Karantina Sorting Facility, based on the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), which is considered international best practice, and using a risk-based approach that applies increased oversight and resources to complex projects and promotes increased responsiveness to changes in project circumstances through adaptive risk management and stakeholder engagement.
