Resource information
This Environmental and Social Risk Management (ESRM) Guide has been updated for the Additional Financing (AF) of the Accelerating Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project (P181150). This updated ESRM Guide will be used for the Parent Project (P173398) and the AF (P181150). This Guide is for use by CIAT and all the research institutions receiving Grants under the AICCRA-AF project. Institutions or entities that carry out sub-contracted activities for the research institutions will also be required to comply with the requirements of this Guide. The Guide provides information on what is needed for project Grant recipients to assess the E&S risks, communicate requirements to agricultural research institutions, as well as monitor and report on implementation. The overall implementation of the AICCRA project is being led and coordinated by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) with support from other CGIAR centers. Therefore, CIAT as the Lead Center has prepared this ESRM Guide to fulfill its commitment on project safeguard requirements and conformity to good international practices on Environment and Social (E&S) management.
