328. 
     For those sub-projects which required the preparation of ESMPs, it is recommended that sub-borrowers, with the assistance of the environmental and social specialists of SES Regional Offices (RO), develop a checklist for site inspections bothe before and during the implementation of subprojects. The checklist shall contain a list of mitigation measures to be implemented at construction sites, the status of their implementation and some explanations on the status of implementation, as required. On monthly basis the the beneficiaries will present short reports on ESMPs implementation to the SES ROs, and ROs report to the PIU one quarterly basis. The list of measures that are checked by the RO environmental and social specialists when visiting the site shall correspond to the measures specified in respective subproject-specific ESMPs. Based on the reports received from ROs, the PIU will prepare semi-annual report on ESMF and ESMPs implementation which shall be an integral part of the progress reports to be submitted to the WB.
