However, the following issues remain: the project needs to provide more information on the measures that will be put in place for the management of for environmental and social risks, in line with the Environmental and Social Policy and Gender Policy of the Fund, and it needs to provide more information regarding the cost-effectiveness of the proposed measures. [...] CR16: Under the principle “lands and soils conservation” the justification for the screening states that the geographical target area for the installation of the EWS and the coastal protection measures (component 3) are not yet specified, this contradicts other section of the proposal. [...] The propagation of the waves towards the coast produces transformations in the wave fronts, mainly caused by the phenomena of refraction, diffraction, breakage, and dissipation by the bottom, and therefore, there are also alterations in the spatial distribution of the wave energy (Table 2). [...] The escarpments in the dune, the fall of trees, the outcrop of stumps and the foundations of facilities impacted by the waves, are clear indications of the erosive trend in the evolution of the coast. [...] Ensuring protection of the coast depends heavily on the knowledge of the residents and users of the coast, thus component 4 of the project will strive to meet the needs of both men and women and will equally engage both genders in knowledge and outreach activities.
