Recommended further action from the Safeguard Advisor
This is likely to be a low risk project as the work is mainly in the normative arearea. The project is “expected to” create positive environmental and social impacts in the target countries in terms of biodiversity and habitat preservation, wildlife-human conflict avoidance, economic development, increased tourism revenues, etc. But, safeguard screening is on “unintended” or “indirect” harm that it may bring to the environment or the people.
The project plans to guide wildlife-related national policy, legislation and regulations. While its intention is to improve regulations of protected areas and land tenure, potential implication of such policy and regulations can be critical for marginalized and vulnerable people who may be affected by proposed changes. Please ensure that the project identified and pay attention to the vulnerable and marginalized groups (e.g., different tribes, gender, ethnic group, the type of livelihood activities they carry out and so on) through balanced representation of stakeholders and regular communication. Identifying the root causes of illegal poaching and helping governments to address the issues around them should be considered in the policy formulation. |
