| dc.description | This guidance note supports the implementation of the Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) that sit at the heart of the Framework for Environmental and Social Management (FESM) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The screening, assessment, management and monitoring of environmental and social risks and impacts are key tools to ensure the sound environmental and social performance of projects. These steps constitute a process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and avoiding or – where avoidance is not possible – mitigating the adverse environmental and social impacts of project activities. Identifying potential risks and impacts in advance allows for informed decision-making to avoid and reduce adverse consequences and maximize potential beneficial outcomes. With an emphasis on the engagement of stakeholders, the screening, assessment and management process improves public understanding and promotes ownership of project activities. | |
