Safeguard Disclosure & Project Grievance Mechanism Notices

Building socio-ecological resilience to climate change impacts by ecosystem-based adaptation approaches at iSimangaliso MPA – Funded by the Blue Action Fund

Environmental & Social Management System (ESMS) 30-DAY DISCLOSURE

WILDTRUST is in the final stages of a project proposal to the Blue Action Fund for the “Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA)” call for proposals supported by the Green Climate Fund. As part of this proposal, we were required to engage independent consultants to conduct an Environmental & Social Assessment (ESA) and develop preliminary Safeguards for the “Building socio-ecological resilience to climate change impacts by ecosystem-based adaptation approaches at iSimangaliso MPA” project. We are also required to publicly disclose our “Safeguard Package” for 30 days before Blue Action Fund’s Supervisory Board can take a final funding decision. This disclosure includes the following documents (also available on the Blue Action Fund’s Website):

English Safeguards:

  1. Project Safeguard Disclosure Document Summary
  2. Environmental & Social Management Plan (ESMP)

Zulu Safeguards:

 

  1. Project Safeguard Disclosure Document Summary
  2. Grievance Mechanism

 

The disclosure starts from the 8th May 2023 and runs for 30 calendar days until and including the 6th of June 2023. Any comments received will be collated for the Blue Action Fund before a final decision to implement the project.

This Project Safeguards Disclosure Document Summary contains information drawn from the project proposal, the independent Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) conducted by consultants and associated safeguards prepared by the WILDTRUST. Safeguards include the Environmental & Social Management Plan (ESMP) and associated annexures: Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP), Grievance Mechanism, Process Framework and Gender Action Plan (GAP). The Summary will also clarify how the project intends to disclose this information, to demonstrate our efforts to clearly communicate this information through formats and channels that are accessible to stakeholders and project-affected people.

It is important to note that stakeholders with access to the Summary and Grievance Mechanism only, can request further/more detailed information as part of the stakeholder engagement process, and this information will be provided in a timely and accessible manner.  Any comments or queries should be sent on or before the 6th June 2023 to ESMS@wildtrust.co.za
