The WCS Indonesia Program (WCS IP) spans the Indonesian archipelago and covers
all aspects of conservation, from wildlife protection and law enforcement, to
policy development, research, education and outreach, to large field-based
operations covering both marine and terrestrial ecosystems. WCS partners
closely with the Indonesian Government, local communities, universities, and
the private sector.

Bank Operational Policies, the World Bank Group General, and sector-specific

safeguard systems is to support the assessment of risks and potential impacts
resulting from the Project by setting out the principles, guidelines, and
procedures to assess, avoid, reduce, mitigate, and/or offset potential adverse
environmental and social impacts and to enhance positive Project impacts and
opportunities. This is to ensure that potential adverse environmental and
social impacts that may be generated as a result of each project activity are
identified, and appropriate safeguard instruments are prepared to avoid,
minimize, mitigate and, in such cases where there are residual impacts, offset
adverse environmental and social impacts.
The Project will develop an Environmental and Social Management Framework
(ESMF) with sub-components of:
- Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMP) for the two sites in
North Maluku and North Sulawesi

mitigating and managing environmental and social impacts potentially stemming
from any infrastructure investment or civic work activities financed under the
Project

general public. - A Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP)

Standards (ESS) 5 and IFC PS 5 in order to appropriately assess and mitigate

natural resources as well as for the purpose of designing appropriate
livelihood restoration measures. The PF shall:
- Document the informed consultation process that will (i) capture both
