Disclosure of the Environmental and Social Management Framework: GCF pipeline project “Public-Social-Private Partnerships for Ecologically-Sound Agriculture and Resilient Livelihoods in Northern Tonle Sap
The Environmental and Social Management Framework of the newly proposed project “Public-Social-Partnerships for Ecologically-Sound Agri-culture and Resilient Livelihood in Northern Tonle Sap (PEARL)”, to be funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), has been formulated in close partnership with the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF).
The PEARL project will deliver the following three interdependent outcomes:
- farmers' capacities are enhanced to manage climate impacts and related risks;
- adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers and other local value chain actors, particularly vulnerable women farmers, is increased through market incentives that promote climate-resilient, higher-value, diversified, and sustainable production and processing; and,
- regulatory and institutional frameworks and capacities for climate-resilient agricultural certification, cross-sectoral coordination for increased PSPPs and smallholder financing, and climate-informed investment support are strengthened.
The disclosure of this relevant project information, which is accessible and culturally appropriate, helps stakeholders to effectively participate in project development and implementation stages. It places due attention to the specific needs of community groups which may be affected by project implementation (such as literacy, gender, differences in language or accessibility of technical information or connectivity).
The PEARL’s Environmental and Social Management Framework is now available in English. The Khmer translation will be also made available on our webpage soon.
