Environmental and Social Management Framework (esmf)

Environmental and Social Monitoring and Reporting

327. 
     Environmental and social monitoring during the implementation of sub-projects shall contain information on key environmental and social aspects of sub-projects, their impact on the environment, social consequences of impacts and the effectiveness of measures taken to mitigate the consequences.
     
328. 
     Component 3 will support Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) activities to track, document, and communicate the progress and results of the project. An M&E team within MLSPP PIU will be responsible for overall compilation of progress and results. This Component will finance MLSPP PIU to prepare project reporting—semi-annual reports and quarterly unaudited IFRs—that will be submitted to the World Bank. This Component will also finance a Management Information System (MIS), which MLSPP PIU will establish and utilize for project monitoring, automatic generation of project reports, project transparency (grants will be publicized on the website), and citizen feedback.
     
329. 
     This Component will also finance midline and end line project monitoring surveys to assess the PDO-level results indicators. MLSPP PIU will be responsible for producing a completion report which draws on the MIS data and surveys prior to project completion.
     
330. 
     Monitoring of the implementation of environmental measures shall be carried out by Environmental Specialists of the PIU. Representatives of the MENR may also be involved in monitoring. The aim is to verify the main points of compliance with the ESMF and subproject-specific ESMPs, the progress of implementation, the scope of consultations and the participation of local communities. The standard checklist will be used for the reporting. In the medium term of the project implementation and at the end of the project, an independent audit will be carried out to monitor the status ofenvironmental, social, health and safety aspects of the project. The audits are necessary to ensure that (i) the ESMF has been properly implemented and (ii) mitigation measures are identified in subproject-specific ESMPs and implemented accordingly. The audit will be able to identify any amendments to the ESMF to improve its effectiveness.
     
331. 
     Monitoring for social part will be done on the continuous bases by the PIU Social Specialist to ensure, that there is no unanticipated impact during construction works on land, productive assets, illegal users, people's livelihood, access to the assets etc. Monitoring will also cover health and labor issues.
     
332. 
     If some issues are identified by the environmental and social monitoring, adequate mitigation measures will be proposed in the progress reports or separate Corrective Action Plans (CAP) (details are presented in the below section on the Environment and Social reporting).
