• Mandatory: SESA, ESIA, RAP, ESMP, ESMF, ESMS
New Topics
• Free Prior Informed Consultation, increased access to
information, Community impacts, Vulnerable Groups
including Indigenous Peoples and Cultural Heritage

OS2: INVOLUNTARY REINSTALLATION
Maintain Community Structures
• Free Prior Informed Consultation and Participation and Broad
Community Support
• Avoid internal community conflict
Secure Rights
• Improve overall means of livelihoods

• Compensate on full replacement cost not market values
Integrated Safeguards System
OS3: BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
Reflects the objectives of the Convention on
Biological Diversity
• Protection of habitats, ecosystems and species
Ecosystem Services
• Address impacts on ecosystem services (priority to
Livelihoods and ecosystems)
Environmental Flows
• Requirement of Environmental Flows in WRM and major
projects in River Basins
• Mitigation Hierarchy including, offsets
Integrated Safeguards System
OS4: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL,
GHG, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
International Standards
• Application Guidelines for ESS Group of the World Bank
• Based on international conventions
Topics
• Inclusion of waste, hazardous materials, usage and
management of pesticides, resource efficiency, and
Greenhouse Gases (GHG)
Greenhouse Gases
• GHG emission threshold: 200k t/eq CO2: monitoring,
analysis of feasible reduction or offset measures and
reporting if above
Integrated Safeguards System
OS5: LABOR CONDITIONS, HEALTH AND SAFETY
Consistency with ILO Labor Standards
• Protection of Workers’ conditions
• Workers’ organizations and rights and collective
bargaining
Protection of Rights
• Rights and protection against abuse
• Prevention of forced labor and child labor
Occupational Health and Safety

• Increased resources for marine water and river basin
management projects
Infrastructure and
Urban systems
• Increased no. of African cities that have developed
and are implementing climate change adaptation
and mitigation plans
Climate-proofing of
AfDB’s operations
• Screening of relevant projects for climate risks and
taking steps to reduce such risks
• Improved design, location, maintenance of
infrastructure
Support to policy, institutional capacity and reforms
Mainstreaming of climate change adaptation Establishment of policies that will
provide incentives to investors using priority adaptation technologies.

Integrated Safeguards System
o Based on the screening, the project proposal is categorized
into one of three categories:
100
Key thresholds
0
Integrated Safeguards System
Category I
Projects may be
very vulnerable
to climate risk
Category II
Projects may be
vulnerable to
climate risk
Category III
Projects are not
vulnerable to
climate risk
CSS screening tool guides through questions that help
determine the categorization of the project with ensuing
recommendations to address any potential risks
Category 1
• Requires detailed
evaluation of climate
change risks and
adaptation measures
• Comprehensive,
practical risk
management and
adaptation measures
should be integrated
in project design and
implementation plans
Integrated Safeguards System
Category 2
Category 3
• Requires review of
climate change risks
and adaptation
measures
• Practical risk
management and
adaptation options
should be integrated
into the project design
and implementation
plans
• A voluntary
consideration of low
cost risk management
and adaptation
measures is
recommended but no
further actions is
required
Integrated Safeguards System
AREP STEPS FOR THE 3 PROJECT CATEGORIES
Integrated Safeguards System
o Summarize at a national level, current climate, projected climate change,
ongoing adaptation activities, key stakeholders and relevant country
indicators.
o Are created during the preparation of the Country Strategy Paper and
designed to inform the strategy and ensure that climate risks are
considered at the earliest stage in the project cycle.
o Provide a point of entry for country teams to familiarize themselves with
the key climate related issues facing the country, thereby enabling the
team to put the relevant issues on the agenda when developing or
updating the country strategy paper.
