Descripción
The operations policy on Development
Policy Lending (DPL), approved by the Board in August 2004,
requires that the Bank systematically analyze whether
specific country policies supported by an operation are
likely to have "significant effects" on the
country's environment, forests, and other natural
resources. The implicit objective behind this requirement is
to ensure that there is adequate capacity in the country to
deal with adverse effects on the environment, forests, and
other natural resources that the policies could trigger,
even at the program design stage. DPL operations are
associated with a whole array of policies such as macro
policy reforms, fiscal policies, and specific sectoral
policies, particularly in key sectors such as agriculture,
health and education, energy, etc. In some cases, the
operation may deal directly with reforms in certain
environmentally sensitive sectors such as energy, transport,
water and sanitation, agriculture, and forestry. In these
cases, there is an obvious need for careful analysis of
environmental, natural resource, and forestry impacts. In
other cases, such as public sector reform and governance,
there is less potential for likely significant impacts on
the natural environment and natural resources. The toolkit
is designed to be concise and user-friendly. It consists of
three specific modules. The first module identifies relevant
transmission channels through which the proposed reform
would have a likely effect on the identified environmental,
forest, and other natural resource priorities. The second
module provides assistance in identifying key environmental
issues in the country, regions, or sectors likely to be
influenced by the DPL program. The third module presents
different tools and methodologies for rapid assessment of
the likely significant effects of each reform.
