PROJECT INTRODUCTION (PCGIP)

•Government of the Punjab, with the financial assistance from World Bank, is implementing Punjab Cities Governance Improvement Project (PCGIP).

•The project is focused at strengthening of systems and governance improvement for enhanced service delivery and being implemented in 05 large cities.

PCGIP4

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

(ESMF)

•ESMF has been prepared under the project “Punjab Cities Governance Improvement Project (PCGIP).

•ESMF serves as a guiding document to address the environmental and social issues during projects implementation covering following phases: Planning and design, Construction and rehabilitation, Operation and maintenance, Decommissioning and closure phases.

•ESMF ensure that schemes to be designed and implemented by the Government are environmentally sound, socially acceptable and comply with the national regulatory and WB policy frameworks.

ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLANS (ESMPS)

For each scheme with E2 category, The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is prepared according to the World Bank Policy Guidelines; environmental and social laws; and policies of Government of Punjab (GoPb).

ESMPs will be used to identify and mitigate the environmental and social impacts that may emerge during implementation of schemes.
