  • CEPF Safeguard Policy: Indigenous Peoples (OP4.10)
    CEPF Safeguard Policy: Indigenous Peoples (OP4.10) Project Title: Ghizo and Kolombangara Ridges to Reef: Integrated planning for natural resources, communities, and biodiversity (Phase 2) Organization: World Wide Fund for Nature - Solomon Islands Application Code: 65964 Social Assessment –Kolombangara and Ghizo Islands As with Phase1, this project will continue to implement activities within areas where Indigenous Peoples reside; therefore, similar to the Phase 1 assessment, this Social Assessment has been compiled for communities reside on Ghizo and Kolombangara Islands, and was prepared to demonstrate how the project will comply with CEPF’s Safeguard Policy on Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous Peoples of Kolombangara The island of Kolombangara is divided into 2 provincial constituency wards, the Northern and Southern, and within these wards there are roughly 41 community villages within the Northern ward, and some 53 community villages occupying the Southern ward. Of these community villages there are 9 main settlements. According to the Kolombangara Island Biodiversity and Conservation Association (KIBCA) as of today, there are thought to be a total of 18 indigenous tribes known to reside within the two constituency wards of Kolombangara Island. KIBCA reports that approximately 6,000 people currently reside on Kolombangara Island, and current reports state that the population has been steadily growing since the last 2009 census. During the community consultation activities facilitated by KIBCA, WWF aims to generate up-to-date and accurate records of the total population, number of tribes and total number of people within each tribe, and to use this information to assist in recording indirect and direct beneficiaries of this R2R project.
