The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) describes the process to screen potential sub-projects for environmental and social issues and how to manage the adverse environmental and social impacts that may result from the sub-projects.
All grantees are required to prepare and submit the social and environmental instruments relevant to their projects, using the templates below. These instruments will then be reviewed by the CEPF Secretariat and the RIT prior to approving the grant for contracting.
Scroll down to find and download the relevant templates.
Please consult CANARI’s and INTEC’s environmental and social standards (ESS) instruments for guidance as you complete your own. These are available below. Your project may have ESS requirements that are different from CANARI’s and INTEC’s, so you may be required to prepare instruments for which we do not have examples.
Please contact us at caribbeanrit@canari.org for more information and/or support in completing your ESS documents.
