The Ministry of Economy (MoE’s) Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) is a broad operational framework that will allow the Ministry of Economy to explain its procedures for identifying, assessing and managing environmental and social (E&S) risks of projects, define the decision-making process, describe the roles, responsibilities and capacity needs of staff for doing so and state the monitoring and reporting requirements. It also provides guidance on how to screen transactions, categorize transactions based on their environmental and social risk, conduct environmental and social due diligence, and monitor the project’s environmental and social performance. The ESMS comprises the ESS Policy, ESRM Procedures, Environmental and Social Action Plan including Monitoring and Compliance, Grievance Redressal Mechanism, Disclosure and Public Consultation and Reporting on E&S Performance and E&S Capacity Building.
