This Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) sets out a summary of the material measures and actions. 3. [Where the ESCP refers to specific plans or other documents, whether they have already been prepared or are to be developed, the ESCP requires compliance with all provisions of such plans or other documents. In particular, the ESCP requires compliance with the provisions set out in the Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA), the Environmental and Social Management Framework (including Labour Management Procedures) and the Stakeholder Engagement Plan (including Grievance Redress Mechanism) that have been developed for the project. 4. The table below summarizes the material measures and actions that are required as well as the timing of the material measures and actions.

As agreed by the [Bank] and [ACICAFOC], this ESCP may be revised from time to time during Project implementation, to reflect adaptive management of Project changes and unforeseen circumstances or in response to assessment of Project performance conducted under the ESCP itself. In such circumstances, [ACICAFOC] will agree to the changes with the [Bank] and will update the ESCP to reflect such changes. Agreement on changes to the ESCP will be documented through the exchange of letters signed between the [Bank] and ACICAFOC. ACICAFOC will promptly disclose the updated ESCP. Depending on the project, the ESCP may also specify the funding necessary for completion of a measure or action. 7. Where Project changes, unforeseen circumstances, or Project performance result in changes to the risks and impacts during Project implementation, the [ACICAFOC] shall provide additional funds, if needed, to implement actions and measures to address such risks and impacts, which may include risks and impacts that are relevant to the Project, such as environmental, health, and safety impacts, gender-based violence among others. 2|Page THE WORLD BANK ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP): VERSION 1.0 - OCTOBER 2018 [Honduras: Improving the Livelihoods of the Miskito Indigenous Peoples in la Moskitia (P167767)] DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN March, 2019 Summary of the Material Measures and Actions to Mitigate the Project’s Timeframe Responsibility / Date of Potential Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts Authority and Completion Resources/Fundin g Committed ESCP Monitoring and Reporting REGULAR REPORTING: Prepare and submit regular monitoring reports on Every six-months throughout ACICAFOC the implementation of the ESCP.
