Project Information Document - AF Djibouti COVID-19 Response - P174675 : Additional Financing Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) - AF Djibouti COVID-19 Response - P174675

The indicative twenty health structures that will benefit from the medical equipment and supplies financed by the Parent Project and the AF include Bouffard, Al-Rahma, General Peltier, Arta and Ali-Sabieh hospitals, as well as five medical clinics and five polyclinics in the regions and the capital. [...] In terms of managing the social and environmental risks of the Parent Project, the MoH prepared the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), the Labor Management Procedures (LMP) and the Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP). [...] The preparation of the ESF instruments of the Parent Project faced significant delays due to the need for extensive data gathering and the difficulty of doing most of this exercise remotely in the context of the pandemic. [...] Under the CGE, a Project Management Unit (PMU) is handling the day-to-day implementation of activities and will report to the CGE on the status of the epidemic. [...] In this perspective is strongly recommended that the capacity of the E&S Focal Point be strengthened through the recruitment of E&S consultants with experience and skills to support the implementation of the ESMF and other ESF instruments.
