Building socio-ecological resilience to climate change impacts by ecosystem-based adaptation approaches at iSimangaliso MPA

The document is a disclosure form for a subproject under the 'GCF Ecosystem Based Adaptation Programme in the Western Indian Ocean'. It focuses on the 'Building socio-ecological resilience to climate change impacts by ecosystem-based adaptation approaches at iSimangaliso MPA' subproject in South Africa. The report details the disclosure of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA), and other safeguard documents to affected communities across various Traditional Authorities, including Tembe, Sokhulu, and Mbila.

• The subproject is categorized as GCF ESS Category B (and KfW/BAF ESS Category B+) and is part of a larger public sector programme targeting Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa, and Tanzania.
• The project implements a community-centric approach to improve livelihoods and living conditions, ensuring that environmental and social safeguards are communicated verbally to those who cannot read or write.
• The Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) results and management measures are integrated into section 4 of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) rather than existing as a separate document.
• Disclosure of the subproject's safeguard package occurred between 27 June and 27 July 2023, across multiple physical locations in South Africa, including community resource hubs, clinics, and primary schools within the Tembe, Sokhulu, and Mbila Traditional Authorities.
