The project is financed through credit from the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank (WB) and a grant from the European Union (EU). Rivers State is a beneficiary of the credit and grant, and intends to apply part of it in minor renovation of the TVAT Schools, provision and equipment of workshops including Polytechnics and capacity building of teachers and instructors and students. The responsible Agencies at the Federal level are the National Planning Commission (NPC) and the Federal Ministry of Finance. In Rivers State, the Project is executed under the Rivers State Employment and Expenditure for Results (RIVERS SEEFOR) supervised by the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning. The overall objective of this renovation and equipment of workshops is increase access, and improve the quality of skill acquisition and development through existing vocational and technical training institutions. This is tailored towards promoting accountability and transparency in the utilization of public finances which in turn translates into employment opportunities for the youths. In order to ensure the adequate management of environmental and social impacts for the proposed project activities, this Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared for the specific activities in minor renovation of the TVAT Schools, Polytechnics and Equipment of workshops. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTIVITIES: The proposed activities in the TVAT Schools are listed below: 1. Government Technical College (GTC) Port Harcourt • Renovation and Equipping of Electrical workshops and Radio Television Studio and Training. 2. Government Technical College (GTC) Ahoada • Renovation and Equipping of Brick Block and Concreting and Training. 3. Government Technical College Ele-Ogu • Renovation and Equipping of Motor Vehicle Mechanical Workshop and Training. 4. Government Technical College Tombia • Renovation and Equipping ICT Studio and Training. 5. Government Craft Development Centre Port Harcourt. • Renovation and Equipping Mechanic Craft Practice and Training. 6. School-To-Land Authority Port Harcourt. • Renovation and Stocking Poultries, Feed mills, and Training. 7. Women Development Centre Taaba • Procurement of Catering, Barbing, Hair Dressing Equipment. 8. Port Harcourt Polytechnic, Rumuola • Electronic Installation Workshop, Carpentry and Wood Workshop, Welding and Fabrication Workshop, Electrical Work and Plumbing/Tiling Workshop 9 Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic Bori • Concreting/Iron Mongery Works, Automobile Workshop, Electrical Installation Workshop and Welding and Fabrication Workshop. v SEEFOR Intervention, Renovation of TVAT Schools, Polytechnics & Equipment of Workshops Need for ESMP for the Proposed Intervention Two safeguards instruments; Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) were prepared at conception of the SEEFOR Project for managing the Project. These instruments need to be translated into specific cost, measurable and monitorable actions through site-specific ESMP – a management tool that presents strategies and procedures for managing potential environmental and social potential impacts associated with a proposed project. Project Location/areas of intervention The Project intervention locations are in Port Harcourt, Ahoada-East, Ogu/Bolo, Degema, Obio/Akpor and Tai Local Government Areas. Institutional and Legal Framework for Environmental Management The World Bank has 10+2 Environmental and Social Safeguard Policies to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of development projects, and improve decision making which are summarized in Chapter 2. Of these Safeguard Policies, the intervention work at the proposed site triggers Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01) indicated in Table 2.1 of Chapter 2. There are significant similarities between World Bank Safeguards Policies and the EIA Act of Nigeria. However, in the event of dissonance between World Bank Safeguards Policies and the EIA Act and or any other extant laws in Nigeria, The World Bank Safeguards Policies shall supersede Approaches for Preparing the ESMP This ESMP has been prepared in accordance with the World Bank Safeguards Policies, ESMF, PAD and Nigeria EIA Act No. 86, 1992. Literature Review Review of some relevant documents such as Nigeria’s National Policy on Environment, EIA Act, RSEPA Law No. 2, 1994 World Bank Operational Policies was carried out to obtain existing baseline information was done. Field visits was carried out to all the TVAT Schools and Polytechnics to gather baseline environmental data mainly on the Biophysical environment, social-economics and impact of the Equipment which involved the use of questionnaires meeting with relevant stakeholders, focused group discussion such as Students, Teachers and Project Affected Persons. Identified Potential Environmental and Social Impacts of the Proposed Project No major potential
