Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) is developed for this project to ensure that adverse environmental and social impacts are minimized, mitigated and appropriately compensated for the asset and land that may be lost due to the implementation of the sub-projects. The ESMF details agreed policies, guidelines and procedures that should be followed in implementing the Sub- projects under LLRP in 100 selected Woredas and Kebeles of the project regions. The proper implementation of the ESMF will ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations of the Government of Ethiopia (GoE), relevant World Bank Operational Policies and Procedures and the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) Social, Environment and Climate Assessment Procedures (SECAP). In addition, Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) and Social Assessment (SA) documents have also been prepared to deal with specific concerns related to land acquisition, property losses, restriction of access to natural resources and other social issues related to
