PROJECT INFORMATION Current Project Development Objective The Project Development Objective is to increase the efficiency of the social protection system and improve the income generation capacity of the poor and vulnerable. . The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project was approved by the Bank on September 23, 2015, signed on December 18, 2015 and declared effective on April 18, 2016. Soon after loan signing, Project implementation was adversely affected by a series of events that led to a slowdown in implementation a lack of progress towards the PDO achievement. The Government and the Bank agreed, therefore, to adjust the Project design and to align it with the Government Zero Poverty Strategy. The restructuring of the Project involved the following: Component 1, “Strengthening and Efficiency of the Social Protection System�: In this Component, while the Sub-component structure will remain the same, the activities within sub-components will be modified. While some activities initially envisaged under the Project will be reduced in scope as their implementation has been initiated using other financing sources (i.e., development of a single registry), the scope of this Component will broaden to include activities related to evaluation and strengthening of all MIDES social programs. Under Sub- component 1.1 “Social protection system instruments,� the Project will support the development of a single entry window (Ventanilla Unica) to facilitate the referral of MIDES beneficiaries, strengthening and expansion of the use of existing instruments (unique registration form, PMT, etc.), digitalization of beneficiary records that are currently available only on paper, and development and enhancement of the Social Protection (SP) system to strengthen its ability to quickly address the needs of affected population post-disaster. The Project will also continue providing technical support to MIDES to strengthen its capacity to oversee the development of the single registry that will be carried out by an external developer. In addition to original activities, Sub-component 1.2 on “Social programs management tools� will include the assessment and revision of operational procedures of key social programs in MIDES, as well as the development of MIS modules to manage the information gathered by productive inclusion programs in a comprehensive and coherent manner within MIDES. The Sub- component will also include activities to improve coordination, strengthen the design, enhance business processes and management of the existing MIDES productive inclusion programs, and complete Operations Manuals for each of these programs. In addition, the Project will support the design of a pilot and development of an Operations Manual for a new vocational training program. Activities under Sub-Component 1.3 “Monitoring and Evaluation capacity� will be strengthened to include a rapid impact assessment and process assessments of existing productive inclusion programs, and an evaluation of the productive inclusion pilot interventions designed under the Project. Component 2, “MIDES Territorial Structure and Direct Family Support� : The financing for the engagement of promotores and social workers as consultants in Component 2 will no longer be needed as they became MIDES staff, but the activities related to the design and implementation of family support programs and the capacity building of promotores will be maintained and strengthened. Also, Sub-component 2.1 “MIDES Territorial coverage of promotores and social workers� will include the mapping and geo-referencing of the supply of social programs offered by MIDES, as well as the development of social programs for indigenous poor and vulnerable population that would complement the activities under the “Support for the National Indigenous Peoples Development Plan Project� (P157575). Activities under Sub-Component 2.2 “Social Feedback Mechanism� will be maintained, and further expanded to include activities related to the development of culturally appropriate mechanisms for MIDES to deliver services to all the targeted populations, including attending the specific needs The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) of indigenous and afro-descendant populations. These expanded activities will be coordinated by the Division of Social Policy, as the new responsible entity within the MIDES to develop these protocols. The activities are in line with the Indigenous Peoples Plan Framework (IPPF) already developed during original Project preparation. In addition, MIDES’s Centers for Infants (Centros de Atención a la Primera Infancia, CAIPI) and Centers for Seniors (Centros de Atención para Adultos Mayores) will be upgraded to provide adequate infrastructure for social services. Since this is a new activity under the Project, before the implementation of these improvements, MIDES will conduct a structural assessment of these Centers. As the Project can only support minor retrofitting and repairs, following the finalization of the structural assessment, the Project activities will only be implemented in Centers that are deemed structurally sound. Therefore, a new Sub-component 2.3 is to be included under the Project to support the structural assessment, minor retrofitting and repairs of selected CAIPIs and shelters for vulnerable people, as well as the purchase and installation of necessary equipment in these Centers. Component 3, “Productive social Inclusion services for the poor and vulnerable�: Following the Government’s request, the Component will be revised to focus on the implementation of a pilot for a new vocational training program for poor and vulnerable youth (including vocational training by INADEH), as well as scaling up of the existing apprenticeship (Padrino Empresario/Enfoca/MITRADEL) and asset-transfer (Redes Territoriales and Cohesion Social) programs. Prior to implementation of existing programs through the Project, an evaluation of programs’ current results and processes will be conducted to inform the programs’ redesign, and facilitate the development of each program’s operations manual. Implementation of each of these programs under the Project will be subject to Bank approval of the program’s operations manual. While the existing activities related to cooperation with MITRADEL and INADEH will remain similar to those in the original Project design, they will be reduced in size. However, at the same time, the scope of the Component will be expanded to include the support for the implementation of the redesigned MIDES productive inclusion programs. Vocational Training Program: The Component will support the piloting of a new vocational training program that seeks to increase the human capital of poor and vulnerable youth to improve their employability and ability for income generation. The pilot will primarily target the district of Las Minas in the Herrera province, and will be further expanded to other priority districts identified in the " Panama para Todos" Strategy. The program would support poor and vulnerable youth from the targeted areas in finalizing vocational training in the skills that are in demand in the labor market, by providing a cash transfer -- conditional on their participation in the training under the program -- to cover their food and transportation costs. For the provision of training opportunities, the program will rely on INADEH, based on the signed Memorandum of Understanding between MIDES and INADEH, as well as on other vocational training institutions in the priority districts identified in Panama para Todos Strategy. Apprenticeship Program: The restructuring will build on the existing MIDES apprenticeship program - Padrino Empresario, and will rely on the cooperation of other existing MIDES programs and on continued cooperation with MITRADEL to provide apprenticeship opportunities to poor and vulnerable members of CCT beneficiary families. Padrino Empresario is an existing apprenticeship program that provides internship opportunities to youth at risk between 15 and 17 years. The program ensures a placement of its beneficiaries for a three-month apprenticeship in a private sector company. Currently there are 94 companies registered under the program, but some of them do not participate actively due to the lack of clarity regarding the procedures, appropriate work placement opportunities, capacity to provide mandatory training in soft skills, or funding. As part of the The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) restructuring, the program would be redesigned to expand the group of beneficiaries and participating companies, secure the provision of social skills training prior to the internship through the support of the Enfoca Program, another MIDES productive inclusion program, and provide stipends to participants to cover their basic costs (transportation, food, etc.). Given that the Memorandum of Understanding between MIDES and MITRADEL has also been signed, the program will also continue to cooperate with MITRADEL and place some of its participants in internships in companies that are participating in the on-going MITRADEL ProJóven and PAIL programs. As with all other productive inclusion programs that will be supported under the Project, the implementation of the apprenticeship program under the Project will require the finalization of the Program Operations Manual and its approval by the World Bank. Asset-Transfer Productive Inclusion Programs: Redes Territoriales (RT) and Cohesion Social (CS) are asset- transfer productive inclusion programs that provide poor and vulnerable households and communities with training, asset transfers and technical assistance to promote income generating activities. Redes Territoriales targets households in rural and peri-urban areas, while Cohesion Social targets indigenous territories. Both programs seek to improve the living standards of poor communities through productive inclusion activities that include community development and empowerment, human capital, and social sustainability. The RT program offers community development, provision of seeds, chicken, livestock or other assets to support the growth of crop and livestock production, training and technical advice and support throughout project implementation. Currently the program has 191 on-farm and 39 off-farm income generation projects in 230 communities (15-20 households per program), benefitting 2,767 households across rural and peri-urban areas of Panama. Cohesion Social will use the same productive inclusion package as Redes Territoriales, but tailored to the customs and culture of indigenous population. The intervention in the indigenous territories will start in 2019. As the asset-transfer programs include the distribution of various assets including livestock and seeds to beneficiaries, their inclusion in the Project triggers potential environmental risks, thus resulting in the upgrading of the Project’s environmental assessment category from C to B. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was prepared and published on the Ministerio de Desarrollo Social (MIDES) website on June 6, 2018, and on the Mi Ambiente website on June 12, 2018, and preliminary consultations with stakeholders were completed. Continuous consultations are planned throughout the implementation of the Project to mitigate any possible environmental risks. Also, an overview of the EMP will be included as part of the mandatory training curriculum within the Project, and the brochures with key information on the EMP will be published under the Project and distributed to the program beneficiaries. . 4. PROJECT LOCATION AND SALIENT PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS RELEVANT TO THE SAFEGUARD ANALYSIS (IF KNOWN) The Project will be country-wide, including Indigenous autonomous territories and collective communities. Despite a decade of sustained fast growth and poverty reduction in Panama, there are sharp regional disparities as the extremely poor are increasingly concentrated in remote geographic areas where Indigenous peoples live. The Indigenous territories have the highest poverty rates (between 80 and 90 percent) and show the lowest poverty declines: poverty declined just 4.2 percentage points between 2007 and 2014. In 2014, extreme poverty was five times larger in Indigenous territories (58.2 percent) compared The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) to the national incidence. As a result, extreme poverty has become an indigenous phenomenon: in 2007, 24 percent of all extremely poor people in Panama lived in three indigenous territories, a figure which rose to 42 percent by 2012. The population in extreme poverty in Panama live in households where the heads have on average only 5 years of education (4.5 fewer than the national average), are concentrated in the agricultural sector, and work mainly as self-employed or unpaid family workers. They have much higher dependency ratios, driven by a much greater share of young children. The slower poverty reduction in Indigenous territories and rural areas points to the need to address bottlenecks in access to social services and improvement in their productivity. There are other demographic groups that are lagging behind in benefitting from the recent growth experience. The last years of growth had an impact on poverty through reduced unemployment rates (4.3 percent in 2014) and higher labor incomes that explain two thirds of the reduction in poverty. Still, labor markets did not benefit all individuals in the same way. Youth unemployment in 2014 reached 10.3 percent, more than twice the national rate, and it was particularly high among secondary education graduates (14.8 percent). Youth from families that receive social assistance like Red de Oportunidades conditional cash transfer program (CCT) that have lower levels of secondary completion, also show high unemployment rates reaching 17 percent. Unemployment has also a strong geographic concentration in urban areas, reaching 9.8 percent in areas like Colon. This recent growth and poverty reduction experience emphasizes the need for a differentiated social policy agenda across geographic areas in Panama and across socioeconomic and ethnic groups. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS SPECIALISTS ON THE TEAM Gunars H. Platais, Environmental Safeguards Specialist Dianna M. Pizarro, Social Safeguards Specialist Raul Ivan Alfaro Pelico, Environmental Safeguards Specialist SAFEGUARD_TABLE 6. SAFEGUARD POLICIES TRIGGERED Safeguard Policies Triggered Explanation Program interventions under Redes Territoriales and Cohesion Social pose the potential for additional – though easily managed and not irreversible – impact to the environment. Therefore, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was prepared and published on the MIDES Environmental Assessment (OP) (BP 4.01) Yes website on June 6, 2018 and Mi Ambiente website on June 12, 2018, and preliminary consultations with stakeholders were completed that included the implementation arrangements for the identification, avoidance and mitigation of any potential impacts on the environment from the newly restructured project. Performance Standards for Private Sector None of the activities under the Project qualify as a No Activities OP/BP 4.03 private sector activity, therefore, they will not The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) trigger the Performance Standards for Private Sector Activities, as defined under the policy. None of the activities under the project will have Natural Habitats (OP) (BP 4.04) No any impact on natural habitats. The Project does not consider any works in forest Forests (OP) (BP 4.36) No areas or changes to forest management. Program interventions under Redes Territoriales and Cohesion Social include activities related to pest management. As a result, this policy is newly triggered and an EMP has been prepared to include a Pest Management Plan. The PMP was published on the MIDES website on June 6, 2018 and Mi Pest Management (OP 4.09) Yes Ambiente website on June 12, 2018, and preliminary consultations with stakeholders were completed that included soliciting input on the proposed integrated pest management approaches proposed in the PMP, as well as the measures for effective and safe handling, storage, use and disposal of pesticides. The Project will not involve works and thus no Physical Cultural Resources (OP) (BP 4.11) No significant impacts on physical cultural resources are expected. The Project triggers OP/BP 4.10 as indigenous peoples that meet the policy's four criteria are among the project’s beneficiary populations and the project specifically targets Indigenous peoples in Component 3. Therefore, an Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) was prepared, broadly consulted, and disseminated both in country and on the Bank's website before appraisal of the original project. A social assessment that evaluates lessons learned from the previous Social Protection Project (P098328), and previous work with Indigenous communities governance structures Indigenous Peoples (OP) (BP 4.10) Yes and their relation to social service provision was also prepared to develop the original IPPF. The team carried out a consultation on the IPPF with Indigenous peoples and their traditional authorities in the Indigenous territories of Guna Yala, Embera Wounanna and Ngäbe-Bugle. The Project Appraisal Document (PAD) and Appraisal Stage ISDS included a summary of the consultations, including a description of how the feedback was incorporated in the original project design. Consultations are ongoing with Indigenous peoples throughout the project to ensure that the IPPF is updated to reflect their preference for involvement in the Redes The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) Territoriales and Cohesion Social program interventions, and that the final IPPs correctly capture all of the activities that will occur in IP areas Whereas, project activities include small retrofitting and minor repairs of Centers for infants and Seniors under Component 2, any investment Involuntary Resettlement (OP) (BP 4.12) No requiring the involuntary taking of land that would produce the impacts under OP/BP 4.12 will be deemed ineligible. The Project will not support the construction or rehabilitation of dams nor will support other Safety of Dams (OP) (BP 4.37) No investments which rely on the services of existing dams. Projects on International Waterways (OP) The Project will not affect international waterways No (BP 7.50) as defined under the policy. The proposed Project will not affect disputed areas Projects in Disputed Areas (OP) (BP 7.60) No as defined under the policy. KEY_POLICY_TABLE II. KEY SAFEGUARD POLICY ISSUES AND THEIR MANAGEMENT A. SUMMARY OF KEY SAFEGUARD ISSUES 1. Describe any safeguard issues and impacts associated with the Restructured project. Identify and describe any potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts. Under the original Project, the MIDES’s three conditional cash transfer programs (Red de Oportunidades, Angel Guardian, 120 a los 65) were already providing services to a targeted population of Panamanians. The programs’ users benefitted from the cash transfers, and in compliance with co-responsibilities related to the programs, accessed government financed health and education services. However, the health and educational services were not fully adapted to the culturally diverse and in some cases very remote location of their users, especially the diverse indigenous populations living in the traditional territories. At the same time, the social assessment and consultation process carried out during project preparation signaled the importance to also adopt the content and delivery methodologies for the training activities to be supported under Component 3. The IPPF calls for territorial level consultations and adaptations of all services provided under the project that need to be established in the corresponding Indigenous Peoples Plans (IPP) for each territory. The new Project-supported interventions under Redes Territoriales (RT) and Cohesion Social (CS) assets-transfer programs seek to improve the living standards of poor and vulnerable communities through productive inclusion activities that include tailored support for crop and livestock income generating activities in rural and peri-urban (RT) and indigenous areas (CS). Currently the RT program has 191 on-farm and 39 off-farm income generation projects for 230 communities, totaling 266 projects that benefit 2,767 households within those communities. While RT is operating, CS is still under design and is yet to be rolled out. The team working on a complementary Bank trust fund to support Indigenous women's economic empowerment in Panama is coordinating with the MIDES team the testing of a methodology that could potentially be adopted and scaled up through CS for integral interventions in Indigenous communities. These interventions would address access to finance (community banking), general training needs on income generation and financial management, and tailored technical assistance for women's productive organizations. While these interventions are limited in scope, they could potentially have negative impact on the The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) environment. Therefore, although MIDES has been monitoring these impacts closely using the existing national regulations, an Environmental Management Plan was prepared for the revised Project to guide MIDES and the beneficiaries in the implementation of these activities, in pesticide management, and in avoiding negative environmental impacts. The EMP covers potential risks, related mitigation measures and best practices applicable to new project activities related to asset transfer, including livestock and use of pesticides. Originally at appraisal, the Project had an Environmental Risk Category C; however, given the new supported transfer- asset activities which include the use of pesticides, the project’s environmental Risk Category has been upgraded to B. No large scale, significant or irreversible environmental impacts have been identified. 2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area. Not applicable 3. Describe any potential alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts. Not applicable 4. Describe measures taken by the borrower to address safeguard policy issues. Provide an assessment of borrower capacity to plan and implement the measures described. In addition to the already triggered OP/BP 4.10 Indigenous peoples safeguards for which an IPPF was prepared, consulted, and disclosed before appraisal, the Project under its revised design, is triggering two additional safeguards which are OP/BP 4.01 Environmental Assessment, and OP 4.09 Pest Management. This is due to the insertion of two productive inclusion programs - Redes Territoriales and Cohesion Social – into the Project. These two programs include transfer of assets (livestock, seeds, etc.), which, albeit small, might have an impact on the environment. Therefore, an EMP, which includes guidance on integrated pest management, has been prepared, published on the MIDES website on June 6, 2018, and Mi Ambiente website on June 12, 2018, and the preliminary consultations with key stakeholders have been completed and will continue during Project implementation to ensure mitigation of risks for potential negative environmental impacts. During early stages of the revised Project implementation, MIDES will initiate the consultation process with each of the 12 Indigenous Congresses, Councils and program's beneficiaries to design an IPP to facilitate differentiated service delivery to indigenous populations in order to ensure that their programs’ methodologies and services are culturally appropriate, accessible and reliable. A draft social assessment was prepared describing demographic data, as well as knowledge gaps, on Indigenous peoples in the country and in each of the three CCT MIDES programs, and MIDES initiated dialogue and consultation with the twelve congresses. The consultations on the project, the social assessment and the IPPF were carried out with the main representatives from the country's twelve Indigenous congresses and councils. The first workshop was carried out and well attended in May 2015, in Panama City, and was considered by all participants to be an initial dialogue rather than a "consultation." Subsequently, another consultation workshop was held and well attended on June 12th, 2015 in Panama City as well. The original components of the project were discussed and minor observations and suggestions were made which were thoroughly documented by the MIDES team and included in The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) the draft social assessment. Generally, the original project design was accepted as a starting point to be completed and enhanced by the specific Indigenous Peoples Plans (IPPs), to be jointly developed by the MIDES and the relevant congresses to identify the design and implementation improvements needed to adequately serve the country's diverse Indigenous populations. The two workshops provided recommendations regarding the proposed methodology that will guide the consultations processes that MIDES will carry out in order to prepare an Indigenous Peoples Plan for each indigenous group. As a result, MIDES prepared a draft framework based on these inputs and circulated it to all participants and their designated technical liaisons for feedback. Instructions were provided on how to present the feedback provided and the implementation timeline. MIDES has been documenting the feedback status from each congress and its incorporation into the IPPF. The IPPF also states that the Government is committed to receiving and incorporating the remaining feedback and will be updating the framework once feedback or acceptance from all twelve congresses is received. The project will uphold a continuous feedback loop with direct and indirect stakeholders and interested parties. This will be undertaken by the borrower and through the existing Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) which has been in place since the start of the project and will continue to exist, thus ensuring socially inclusive and culturally adequate feedback mechanisms. A complementary trust fund currently being implemented by the Bank in coordination with the country's two national Indigenous women's organizations will help design and deliver an integral support pilot for Indigenous women's economic empowerment that should inform the design and implementation of the Cohesion Social (CS) program. In terms of borrower capacity, the MIDES's Department of Social Policies has already brought together a team of social scientists dedicated to mainstreaming ethnicity across the MIDES's programs. Moreover, the three CCT programs and the productive inclusion ones vary substantially in terms of their own capacity to implement social safeguards. Red de Oportunidades has in-house social scientists who are currently the recipients of capacity building provided by a local expert on indigenous engagement in public policy and indigenous consultation methodology, while the other programs are expected to build such capacity during Project implementation. In addition, Panama has the in-house environmental management capacity for projects of much larger potential impacts in agriculture. Therefore, MIDES has worked with the Ministry of Agriculture (MIDA) and also of Environment (Mi Ambiente) in the preparation of the EMP and will continue to collaborate as needed during project implementation. 5. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanism for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. The main stakeholders of the project are the poor and vulnerable beneficiaries of the Ministry of Social Development's social programs including the three conditional cash benefit programs (Red de Oportunidades, Angel Guardian, 120 a los 65), existing productive inclusion programs (RdO, Cohesion Social, Padrino/Enfoca) and the new Vocational Training pilot program. In the case of indigenous families, their own governing structures and traditional authorities, as well as technical and coordinating organizations, such as the National Indigenous Peoples Roundtable, play important roles in influencing public policy and how and to what extent the Ministry's programs intersect with their own National Indigenous Development Plan. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared and published on the MIDES website on June 6, 2018 and Mi Ambiente website on June 12, 2018, and preliminary consultations with stakeholders have been completed and will continue throughout the implementation of the Project to mitigate any possible environmental risks. Also, an overview of the EMP will be included as a part of the mandatory training curriculum within the Project, and the The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS Strengthening Social Protection and Inclusion System (P155097) brochures with key information on the EMP will be published under the Project and distributed to the program beneficiaries. The design and implementation of a citizen feedback mechanism for MIDES' CCTs is a key activity under Sub- component 2.2. The aim of this mechanism is to provide MIDES with constant inflow of up-to-date geo-referenced data on user feedback of the quality, coverage and reliability of the health and education services -which beneficiaries are required to comply with as co-responsibilities- as well as effectiveness of delivery of bimonthly payments. The information will be used to redress grievances regarding MIDES’ service delivery. The types of feedback will be classified and displayed by category, including, inter alia, targeting errors, payment irregularities, quality, and cultural pertinence of services. This information will be processed and presented to the Social Cabinet, which is responsible for inter-sectoral coordination of social policies. DISCLOSURE_TABLE B.
