ANNEXES GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 88 OF 101 I PS4: Community health, safety and security. The project will ensure that health and safety conditions will apply to communities and personnel working on project activities: for example, using life jackets on motor boat trips. Furthermore, the project will ensure that all sanitary and safety regulations demanded by the relevant offices issuing authorizations—fisheries, forestry, processing plants—are complied with. A registry of incidents and accidents will be kept so that corrective measures can be applied. PS6: Biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of living natural resources. The project will contribute to protecting and conserving Amazonian biodiversity and ecosystem services by applying community management plans to large areas of wetlands. Income generation based on sustainably managing and adding value to local natural resources will provide additional reasons for communities and government agencies that care for and oversee the resource base. PS7. Indigenous populations. The project will ensure full respect for indigenous peoples. It is to be implemented in indigenous territories where activities could only be carried out with prior informed consent, which has been gained at this stage. If the project is approved, a new round of consultation is anticipated for work planning. The project will avoid or minimize any adverse environmental impacts due to increased motor boat traffic or solid-waste production at meetings. Moreover, the project will only support activities in which the communities themselves are committed to work. PS8. Cultural heritage. The project will fully respect the cultural heritage of the indigenous populations. Archaeological remains in the area have not yet been legally recognized by the national authority. The project will take steps to prevent these remains from being damaged and will promote their conservation. Part of the project is located within the Ramsar site at the Abanico del Pastaza Wetland Complex, which could be considered a natural heritage site since it will also contribute to the protection of this wetland of international importance.
ANNEXES GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 89 OF 101 I Annex IX: Social impact assessment summary (The full assessment can be found in a separate document.) The purpose of the social assessment of this proposal is to ensure that the project pays due consideration to social aspects by avoiding, preventing, eliminating or minimizing potential adverse social impacts and risks due to project activities. The assessment also identifies opportunities to maximize the potential positive impacts. The social safeguards are powerful tools by which communities, during the design of the project, may safeguard their indigenous rights by expressing their views and asking for modifications or improvements so their rights are not affected. The methodology used is based on: (a) consultations held between 23 June and 1 July 2015 with more than 80 communities represented by nearly 500 people (men and women) and 21 organizations (including federations, associations and committees); and (b) guidelines established by PROFONANPE and the Green Climate Fund for the application of performance standards (PSs) that are also those used by the International Financial Corporation (IFC). Of the eight PSs considered by IFC, the following five are most relevant to the project: • PS1: Assessment and management of environmental and social risks and impacts; • PS2. Labour and working conditions; • PS5. Land acquisition and involuntary resettlement; • PS7. Indigenous peoples; and • PS8. Cultural heritage. Moreover, the social assessment identifies the opportunities to incorporate a gender approach in the project, respecting indigenous communities’ organizations and their traditional culture. 1) PS1: Assessment and management of environmental and social risks and impacts. a) Impacts and social risks identification Various minor social impacts and risks have been identified. These are associated mainly with activities in Components 2 and 3. Prevention measures are proposed in order to prevent their occurrence (table 1). In case unforeseen impacts or risks arise during project implementation, specific measures will be established to prevent, correct and/or mitigate them. These must be included in the PROFONANPE Environmental and Social Management System. b) Engagement with stakeholders, communications and grievance mechanism Consensus will be the preferred method in the negotiation of complaints and local demands. In particular, the project will expand the participatory monitoring process to include a space to gather suggestions, questions and complaints directly from the community (in contrast to the formal process through which the community leader provides feedback to project managers). All suggestions, questions and complaints will be documented, analysed and provided with a formal answer. Furthermore, the PROFONANPE website will maintain an online format through which users can make suggestions, ask questions, request information and file complaints. This format is sent to the Administration and Finance Director and the Development and Supervision Director, who have the responsibility to reply where applicable. Project stakeholders will be informed of this procedure. It should
