THE WORLD BANK ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP) - May 2019 Eswatini Water Services Corporation Eswatini Water Supply and Sanitation Access Project – P166697 ENVIRONMENTAL and SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP) July 2019 1|Page THE WORLD BANK ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP) - May 2019 Eswatini Water Services Corporation Eswatini Water Supply and Sanitation Access Project ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN 1. The Kingdom of Eswatini through its relevant participating ministries/agencies/units (i.e. Ministry of Natural Resources and Ministry of Economic Planning and Development) is planning to implement the Eswatini Water Access Project (the Project). Eswatini Water Services Corporation (EWSC) is the implementing entity. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank or Bank) has agreed to provide financing for the Project. 2. The Government of the Kingdom of ESwatini through EWSC will implement material measures and actions so that the Project is implemented in accordance with the World Bank Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs). 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 draft Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs), Stakeholder Engagement Plan and Labor Management Procedures and the Resettlement Policy Framework (and the subsequent Resettlement Action Plan) 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. The Kingdom of ESwatini through its relevant participating ministries/agencies/units and EWSC are responsible for compliance with all requirements of the ESCP. 5. Implementation of the material measures and actions set out in this ESCP will be monitored and reported to the World Bank by the Kingdom of Eswatini and EWSC as required by the ESCP and the conditions of the relevant legal agreements. The World Bank will monitor and assess progress and completion of the measures and actions throughout Project implementation. 6. As agreed by the World Bank, Kingdom of Eswatini and EWSC, 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, the Kingdom of Eswatini and EWSC will agree to the changes with the World 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 World Bank , the Kingdom of Eswatini and EWSC as applicable. The Kingdom of Eswatini and EWSC 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 Kingdom of Eswatini shall provide 2|Page THE WORLD BANK ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP) - May 2019 additional funds, if needed, to implement actions and measures to address such risks and impacts, which may include environmental, health and safety impacts. 3|Page THE WORLD BANK ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP): VERSION 1.0 - MAY 2019 Eswatini Water Supply and Sanitation Access Project ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN - June 2019 Responsibility / Summary of the Material Measures and Actions to Mitigate the Timeframe Authority & Resources/ Date of Completion Project’s Potential Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts Funding Committed ESCP Monitoring and Reporting REGULAR REPORTING: Prepare and submit regular monitoring Throughout project reports on the implementation of the ESCP.
