The report provides a comprehensive safeguards framework for a four-year, $11.1 million (including co-financing) project aimed at restoring forest ecosystems and reducing land degradation in the Lake Naivasha Basin (LNB). It outlines procedures to manage environmental and social risks, specifically addressing the rights of Indigenous Peoples (primarily the Maasai), gender inequality, and the potential for livelihood loss due to resource access restrictions. The framework mandates the use of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) for activities affecting Indigenous Peoples and establishes a grievance redress mechanism to handle complaints, including those related to gender-based violence and sexual exploitation.
