Environmental and Social Management Framework

The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) is developed as a practical tool that provides background to ICEMA, guidelines on how to develop subprojects, and consolidates all Safeguard Instruments relevant to the Project. It aims to inform Extension staff (MET, other line ministries) and Support Organisation staff (field-based NGOs) of the aims and objectives of ICEMA, the rationale for the Community Funding Facility (CFF) and the implementation of Safeguard Instruments during the planning and implementation of subprojects. As far possible, with the help of the ESMF, ICEMA will try to make the implementation of and compliance with Safeguard as smooth as possible – cooperation from partners is crucial.
