Environmental Management Plan, P165286 LIVELIHOODS FOR YOUTH – COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROJECT (P165286) Environmental and Social Management Plan Introduction The purpose of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is to identify the environmental and social management and mitigation actions required to implement the project in accordance with the requirements of the World Bank and Kyrgyz legislation. The plan was developed by the Public Foundation Kyrgyzstan Mountain Societies Development Support Programme (MSDSP) specialist responsible for the environmental matters of the Livelihoods for Youth – Community Support Project. The draft was posted publicly in Kyrgyzstan on www.donors.kg between 30th March and 10th April 2018 allowing for comments and suggestions from NGO’s, CSO’s, donor community, general public, the relevant government agencies. Further avenues for input from the community were provided through community meetings on 11th April 2018 in Karool Ayil AO (Uzgen District of Osh oblast) and on 12th April 2018 in Kulatov AO (Nookat District of Osh oblast). The final ESMP Checklist was subsequently disclosed on 23th April 2018 on www.donors.kg and submitted to the World Bank for subsequent disclosure via the World Bank Infoshop. Project Description The project is comprised of three components: Component 1: Preparing Youth for the Labor Market Component 2: Creating Market Opportunities for Youth Component 3: Project Management and Administration, M&E and Knowledge Dissemination Component 1: Preparing Youth for the Labor Market Component 1 will support the supply side of the market system and prepare youth for the labor market. It will be disaggregated into two subcomponents: (i) assisting youth to join the traditional economy; (ii) assisting youth to join the e-economy. Through participatory assessments and provision of skills development for employment, the component aims at preparing youth to become active actors in the traditional and e-economies. Opportunities for skills development will be identified using a combination of participatory and technical assessments, cognizant of the differing needs of women and men. Areas of youth interest in the target areas have been researched through the consultative gender-sensitive Youth Needs Assessment carried out during preparation and will be further established through the participatory Youth Development Plans that will be developed in the CASA-1000 CSP. These assessments will highlight needs regarding employment, and will be compared with technical market assessments. These market and needs assessments will be carried out by the youth themselves to identify promising trades for skills development. Drawing on the Youth Development Plans, interested beneficiaries will then be required to develop individual market assessments for their chosen area of training as part of the selection process. The project will identify appropriate service providers relevant to the target sectors, and strengthen their capacity to deliver relevant skills development programs and better prepare youth to enter the labor market. Component 2: Creating Market Opportunities for Youth 1 Environmental Management Plan, P165286 The interventions under this component will increase opportunities for young women and men in the marketplace by working with demand-side actors in youth-centric value chains, facilitating local value addition, and creating new opportunities for micro and small enterprises in target areas. These interventions are broadly divided into two subcomponents along the same breakdown of traditional and e- support: (i) facilitating value-addition in selected value chains; and (ii) developing e-firms and enterprise capacity. Component 3: Project Management and Administration, M&E and Knowledge Dissemination The implementing agency (IA) will be responsible for preparing work plans and operational manuals, managing the budget, managing relations with local authorities and communities, and developing terms of reference for the necessary consultancies. In addition, the IA will be responsible for tracking the progress of the project, carrying out semi-annual assessments of outcomes and results, and communicating and reporting regularly on the progress of the project to relevant audiences. This subcomponent will support the recruitment of project-specific staff and consultants, operational support mechanisms, financial management at the national, oblast and district levels, travel, telecommunications, printing and other office expenses, as well as managerial oversight and internal and external audits. The project will not purchase new vehicles, but will provide travel allowances and/or apportion costs for the use of existing vehicles. This subcomponent will support the monitoring of the results framework, an agreed set of output indicators, quarterly reporting to the World Bank, Midterm Review/Implementation Completion Report, as well as reflections on lessons learned and openness to adapt processes that are not working. A comprehensive monitoring, evaluation and learning plan will measure impacts and outcomes and monitor ongoing progress of project implementation Project potential environmental and social impacts. Under Component 2, the project will provide matching grants to private lead entrepreneurs and community interest groups (CIG) (producer groups) to finance introduction of new technologies, such as upgrade of existing equipment, to improve productivity and value-addition. Prior to the installation of these equipment, grant applicants may have to do small renovation to their current facilities. Environmental impacts will include those typically associated with small construction works such as generation of dust, noise, vibration, generation of small amount of construction waste, temporary disruption of community transport system due to a transportation of goods to the construction site, small discharge of the wastewater, hazards associated with asbestos management. Additionally, there might be occupational health and safety risks associated with the operation of equipment. Such hazards include slips and strips, caught-in or – between, falls from heights, being struck by falling, swinging, rolling or flying objects, respiratory issues due to the presence of dust at the work place, exposure to occupational noise. Minor anticipated environmental issues would include spills of lubricants and fuel from machinery and equipment, generation of production food and packaging waste, dust, increase in traffic pollution due to transportation of goods to and from the facilities. Support will be provided to CIG for the provision agricultural inputs (seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) that are needed to help them to establish long-term business relationship with the lead entrepreneurs. This pose certain risks associated with the type of pesticides fertilizers and pesticides to be procured and their proper handling and application. In particular, pesticides have a potential to contaminate soil, water and other vegetation. In addition to killing insects or weeds, pesticides can be toxic to a host of other organisms including birds, fish, beneficial insects, and non-target plants. Fertilizers may deplete the quality of soil, lead to eutrophication in and contaminate the nearest water bodies. In addition, persons who deal with pesticides in the day-to-day operations may develop acute and chronic adverse health conditions. All anticipated environmental and social impacts under the project are expected to be minor, short lived and localized and can be easily managed with generally accepted good agriculture and construction 2 Environmental Management Plan, P165286 practices. To control the risks mentioned above, they will be identified based on the sub-project specifics, assessed in terms of probability and severity of harm. Mitigation measures will be defined and included into the site-specific ESMPs. Purpose of the ESMP. The present ESMP is aimed at providing overall guidance for conducting environmental and social assessment of the grant activities. It specifies the set of mitigation, monitoring, and institutional responsibility measures to be taken during implementation and operation to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable levels. The generic ESMP checklist-type format ("ESMP Checklist") will be used to cover typical preventive and mitigation approaches to common civil works contracts with localized impacts, the use of processing equipment and chemical pesticides and fertilizers. ESMP Checklist structure. The ESMP has three sections: • Part 1 constitutes a descriptive part (“site passport”) that describes the project specifics in terms of physical location, the institutional and legislative aspects, the project description, inclusive of the need for a capacity building program and description of the public consultation process. • Part 2 includes the environmental and social screening in a simple Yes/No format followed by mitigation measures for any given activity. • Part 3 includes a plan for procedures to mitigate risk related to plant modernization, including a monitoring plan. • Part 4 includes a health and safety risk management plan, including monitoring plans, in the eventually of the purchase of processing equipment. • Part 5 includes a pesticides and fertilizers management plan, including a monitoring plan, in case of purchase of pesticides and fertilizers. Integration of the ESMP Checklist into project documents. The ESMP Checklist, including Part 3 – 5, will be included in grant applications from each lead entrepreneurs and CIG, should there be any renovation works, purchase of processing equipment and procurement of pesticides and fertilizers, both in specifications and bills of quantities. The ESMP will be verified and used as part of the micro-grant selection process by specialized staff within MSDSP charged with determining eligibility of micro-grants. The first three ESMP Checklists will have to be reviewed and approved by the World Bank team. Monitoring subprojects. The monitoring of the implementation of the different plans during project implementation provides information about the project environmental and social impacts and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. Such information enables the client and the Bank to evaluate the success of mitigation as part of project supervision, and allows corrective action to be taken when needed. The monitoring section of the ESMP provides: (a) details, of monitoring measures, including the parameters to be measured, methods to be used, sampling locations, frequency of measurements; and, (b) monitoring and reporting procedures to (i) ensure early detection of conditions that necessitate particular mitigation measures, and (ii) furnish information on the progress and results of mitigation. Environmental and social supervision and reporting of subprojects. Prior to the provision of grants, lead entrepreneurs and CIG together with the MSDSP staff will verify the availability and quality of the ESMP checklists. MSDSP will draw on its existing personnel to build the capacity of project staff to verify the checklists and oversee project implementation. This includes on-staff engineers and agronomists familiar with relevant agro-machinery. Where necessary, MSDSP will seek technical input from local training providers and technical experts, including from ARIS, District Agricultural Departments, Association of Fruits and Vegetable Enterprises, among others. Using a cascading approach, trained staff will then build the capacity of relevant CIG members and lead entrepreneurs on appropriate environmental and social safeguards. Additionally, during the implementation of the grant 3 Environmental Management Plan, P165286 project, MSDSP staff will monitor the enforcement of the mitigation measures. This supervision work will be complemented by the WB (during its supervision missions) and by the local ecological and construction safety inspectors. Semiannually the implementing agency will present short information about the ESMP implementation and subprojects’ environmental performance as part of the Progress Reports to be presented to the WB by the Client. 4 Environmental Management Plan, P165286 LIVELIHOODS FOR YOUTH – COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROJECT (P165286) CHECKLIST ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (ESMP) PART 1: INSTITUTIONAL & ADMINISTRATIVE Country Kyrgyz Republic Project title Livelihoods for Youth – Community Support Project Scope of project and activity Institutional Project Management Local Counterpart and/or Recipient arrangements Overall the grant will Youth, lead entrepreneurs, local Name & Contacts be managed and business development providers, implemented by the including TVET school in 20 sub- Public Foundation district of Jalal-Abad, Osh and Batken Kyrgyzstan Mountain oblast where more than 263,500 Societies Development people.
