Environmental and Social Commitment Plan for the THSSP Project, March 2022
One of the requirements is the development, adoption, and implementation of a Labor1 Management Procedure (LMP) to provide guidance in the management of workers to ensure project's compliance with labour management standards and address labour managementrelated risks. This requirement is articulated under the World Bank Environmental and Social Standard 2 - Labor and Working Conditions (ESS 2) of the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF).
This SEP will guide the project information and awareness campaigns, consultations and the setting up of grievance redress mechanism for potentially affected people, during the preparation of the detailed project design, including the finalization of the Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and during implementation of the project activities and ESMP mitigation measures. This SEP will be periodically updated and shall contain summaries of stakeholder activities already undertaken under THSSP.
In partial fulfillment with ESS1, the GoTv and World Bank have agreed that a "Preliminary Project-Wide Environmental and Social Management Plan (Preliminary ESMP)" shall be prepared and be made available by Project Appraisal, pending the development of the detailed Project Design, thus this Preliminary ESMP. This Preliminary ESMP includes subsidiary ES management instruments designed to address specific issues and requirements of the WB ES Standards.
