PROJECT INTRODUCTION (PCGIP) Government of the Punjab, with the financial assistance from World Bank, is implementing Punjab Cities Governance Improvement Project (PCGIP). The project is focused at strengthening of systems and governance improvement for enhanced service delivery and being implemented in 05 large cities. PCGIP 4

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (ESMF) ESMF has been prepared under the project “Punjab Cities Governance Improvement Project (PCGIP). ESMF serves as a guiding document to address the environmental and social issues during projects implementation covering following phases:  Planning and design, Construction and rehabilitation, Operation and maintenance, Decommissioning and closure phases. ESMF ensure that schemes to be designed and implemented by the Government are environmentally sound, socially acceptable and comply with the national regulatory and WB policy frameworks. PCGIP 5

ENVIRONMENTAL CATEGORIZATION OF SCHEMES PCGIP 6 E – 1 Schemes wherein major environmental impacts are foreseen EIA/IEE * E - 2 Schemes that are expected to have only moderate environmental impacts ESMPs ** E - 3 Schemes with negligible environmental impacts no further assessment required *Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)./ Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) **Environmental & Social Management Plans (ESMPs)

SOCIAL CATEGORIZATION OF SCHEMES PCGIP 7 S – 1 schemes that will impact more than 40 households, and are expected to have significant negative social consequences RAP * S - 2 Schemes that will impact less than 40 households and are expected to have significant social consequences affecting local inhabitants RAP * S - 3 schemes expected to have no significant social consequences affecting local inhabitants SAR** * Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) ** Social Assessment Report (SAR)

ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLANS (ESMPS) For each scheme with E2 category, The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is prepared according to the World Bank Policy Guidelines; environmental and social laws; and policies of Government of Punjab (GoPb). ESMPs will be used to identify and mitigate the environmental and social impacts that may emerge during implementation of schemes. PCGIP 9

Development and Design Phase Public and Cultural Properties Disturbance to people visiting public properties i.e. mosque, schools, shrines, and graveyards etc. Incorporate technical design features to minimize the scheme construction activities to avoid any interference with cultural heritage site and public property as far as possible. WASA-R & Design consultant WASA-R Scheme development & design Failure of water works and flooding of nearby areas. Scheme design should consider terrain, soil characteristics, hydrology and geology. WASA-R & Design consultant WASA-R Disturbance to other services Other infrastructure like electrical cables, telephone poles etc. might disturb Scheme should be designed to avoid interference with other services.
