ESMP

The ESMP outlines the environmental and social safeguards for a project involving the dredging of 415 meters of water flow paths, cleaning of one pond, and strengthening of 211 meters of embankments in Dabri village, DI Khan. It identifies risks such as soil erosion, land sliding, and restricted community access to water, proposing mitigation measures including the construction of five check dams to control flow velocity and reduce erosion. The plan mandates the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for workers, the establishment of a Community-Based Organization (CBO) for local participation, and a four-tier Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM). A long-term Operation and Maintenance (O&M) plan is set for 2027-2031 to ensure the sustainability of the 29,404 cubic meter water storage capacity.

• The project involves specific physical interventions: dredging 415 meters of water flow paths, cleaning one pond, and strengthening 211 meters of embankments to improve water storage capacity to 29,404 cubic meters.
• Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) measures are mandated, including the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as helmets, gloves, and boots, and the requirement for first aid kits to be available on-site.
• A structured community engagement strategy is implemented, including the creation of a Community-Based Organization (CBO) to ensure local ownership and the use of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) for indigenous and local communities.
• The project's long-term sustainability is managed through an Operation and Maintenance (O&M) plan spanning 2027 to 2031, focusing on annual inspections of embankments and the removal of silt and debris before the monsoon season.
