The objective of the project is to promote gender equity, equality, and economic empowerment. The project will support the following activities: strengthening community-based institutions towards enhanced opportunities though support for community-based groups and mobilize women and adolescent girls to participate in them; capacity building and training to women’s groups and individual entrepreneurs,financing for different categories of women’s and adolescent girls’ groups and female entrepreneurs; support the construction and operationalization of common user facilities for women’s and adolescent girls’ groups and female entrepreneurs; and further support for a childcare pilot and strengthening GBV response services through activities to strengthen quality and survivor centered GBV response services. The project activities will take place in Unguja and Pemba, the project will target all rural districts, i.e., excluding the mostly urban region of Mjini Magharibi with the exception of the psychosocial support facility that will be constructed in Mjini district. Specific locations of subproject activities are not known at this stage, because the list of subprojects is still under review. The subproject locations will be known by appraisal. This Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been prepared to identify the potential environmental and social risks and impacts of proposed Project activities and propose suitable mitigation measures to manage these risks and impacts. It maps out the Zanzibar laws and regulations and the World Bank policies applicable to the Project, and describes the principles, approaches, implementation arrangements, and environmental and social mitigation measures to be followed. The potential environmental and social risks for project activities are identified as: ▪ The project activities which are expected to have potential risk to environment include livelihood small scale agriculture activities (component 1). The risks associated with small scale farming include land degradation, loss of vegetation, soil erosion, soil and water pollution due to agrochemicals uses and occupational and community health and safety from the use of the agrochemicals. ▪ Small scale civil works due to funding of rehabilitation of district offices, establishment of safe houses, construction of psychosocial centre (Component 2) and rehabilitation of community infrastructure for development of CDCC (Component 3). These small-scale civil works interventions are expected to cause typical construction works impacts including vegetation removal, noise, vibrations, dust, waste generation, occupational health and safety risks, sexual harassment and Gender Based Violence, child labor, and community health and safety. ▪ Risks associated with the use of the buildings by the project (offices, training, safe houses, etc.) including exposure to PCBs, asbestos, lead based paint, poor indoor air quality, inadequate potable water and/or wastewater disposal, and risks related to man-made or natural disasters (fire, etc.). The measures that will be used in the early stages of subproject planning and design to avoid and minimize these impacts include: iv Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- ▪ The project shall set out clearly defined E&S procedures to screen subprojects (application of exclusion list, review of industry sector and technical aspects of each subproject) and conduct due diligence to evaluate E&S risk and assign risk categories (low, moderate, substantial and high risk; ▪ There shall be systems/processes for due diligence within MoCDGEC/ LGAs the to evaluate, monitor, review and manage E&S risks and impacts of the subprojects; ▪ Including a budget and environmental and social specialist position designated for reporting on the ESMF/ESMPs as well as providing training and capacity-building on ESMF/ESMPs procedures and performance. ▪ Selection of buildings for rehabilitation will consider the health and safety of project workers and during and after rehabilitation, also the ESMPs which contain health and safety issues (ie provision of portable water supply/ waste disposal) shall be prepared and implemented ▪ Establishing external communications mechanism, including a Stakeholder Engagement Plan and a Grievance Mechanism; and ▪ In addition, this ESMF specifically include the project’s exclusion list which will explicitly include projects involving substantial and high-risk sectors (e.g, mining, forest plantations, etc.) and activities, such as involuntary resettlement (all new land acquisition will be excluded from project financing); involving harmful child labor or forced labor; destruction of natural and critical natural habitats; production or commercialization of any product or activity considered illegal according to the laws or regulations of Zanzibar; production or trade of alcoholic beverages (except beer and wine); production, trade, storage or transport of large volumes of hazardous chemicals; and any dams that would be considered a high or substantial risk to support. These risks will be managed and mitigated through the application of: ESF documents have been prepared prior to appraisal: • Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) • Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) including Grievance Redress Mechanism • Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) Documents to be prepared after Board Approval include: • Labor Management Plan (LMP to be developed by project PIU for project activities • Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) for subprojects to be prepared after subproject depending on the outcome of the screening.

Such training will be provided periodically as may be deemed necessary throughout the project implementation period. The total budget for the ESMF implementation is estimated to be USD 85,000. Monitoring Impact and compliance monitoring shall be practiced during the project implementation phase. Monitoring should be conducted to verify the predicted impacts, examine the implementation and effectiveness of mitigation measures, respond to unanticipated environmental impacts, and improve environmental controls. Monitoring should be conducted by trained individuals following monitoring and recordkeeping procedures and using properly calibrated and maintained equipment. Monitoring data should be analyzed and reviewed at regular intervals and compared with the operating standards so that any necessary corrective actions can be taken. It should be stressed that the developed monitoring plan should be updated to reflect the specificities of each project (scale, location, etc.) and should also incorporate an estimate of the total monitoring costs involved. vi Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- A separate Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) has been prepared for the Project, based the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standard 10 on Stakeholder Engagement. The SEP can be found here: www.jamii.smz.go.tz. vii Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- 1. Introduction This Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) is developed to support the environmental and social due diligence provisions for activities financed by the World Bank in the Program for Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813). Environmental and social management framework (ESMF) is an instrument that examines the risks and impacts when a project consists of a program and/or series of subprojects, and the risks and impacts cannot be determined until the program or subproject details have been identified. The ESMF sets out the principles, rules, guidelines and procedures to assess the environmental and social risks and impacts. It contains measures and plans to reduce, mitigate and/or offset adverse risks and impacts, provisions for estimating and budgeting the costs of such measures, and information on the agency or agencies responsible for addressing project risks and impacts, including on its capacity to manage environmental and social risks and impacts. The project will support economic opportunities for women and adolescent girls and strengthen Gender-Based Violence prevention and response in targeted areas in Zanzibar while supporting the government’s capacity to advance gender equality through strengthening community-based institutions towards enhanced economic opportunities, delivering services to support and enable economic opportunities, shifting social norms and enabling behavior change towards gender equality and GBV prevention at the community level, and strengthening GBV response services in Zanzibar. TheMinistry of Community Development, Gender, Elders and Children-Zanzibar will be implementing the Project activities. This ESMF follows the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF)as well as the national laws and regulations of Zanzibar. The objective of the ESMF is to assess and mitigate potential negative environmental and social risks and impacts of the Project consistent with the Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs) of the World Bank ESF and national requirements. More specifically, the ESMF aims to (a) assess the potential environmental and social risks and impacts of the proposed Project and propose mitigation measures; (b) establish procedures for the environmental and social screening, review, approval, and implementation of activities; (c) specify appropriate roles and responsibilities, and outline the necessary reporting procedures, for managing and monitoring environmental and social issues related to the activities; (d) identify the staffing requirements, as well as the training and capacity building needed to successfully implement the provisions of the ESMF; (e) address mechanisms for public consultation and disclosure of project documents as well as redress of possible grievances; and (f) establish the budget requirements for implementation of the ESMF. This ESMF should be read together with other plans prepared for the project, including the Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP), the Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP)and Labor Management Procedures. 1 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- 2. Project Description The Project Development Objective is to increase access to economic opportunities for women and to Gender-Based Violence prevention and response services in targeted areas in Tanzania. The following are the project components: • Component 1: Promoting Economic Opportunities for Women through Community-Based (US$ 15.4 million). This component will finance access to climate resilient economic opportunities for different categories of women’s groups. Economic opportunities are defined as training, guidance, income-generating activities, business opportunities and access to finance. Activities will be implemented through three sub- components: Strengthening women’s business skills and linking them to markets (sub- component 1.1), Access to finance through women’s groups’ revolving loan funds (sub- component 1.2) and Access to finance through the formal financial sector(sub-component 1.3). Sub-component 1.1: Strengthening women’s business skills and linking them to marketsfocuses on providing training to women groups. Activities include: (i) Mapping community-based women’s groups to be platforms for delivery of project support,(ii) Market and value chain assessments to identify viable business opportunities for women, (iii) Assess available materials for training groups, and develop/define the materials to be used for training under PAMOJA and (iv) providing training/ skills to groups which includes business and life skills training, business plan preparation and implementation, mentoring for successful businesses and sensitization on CDCC. Sub-component 1.2 will provide demand-driven financing to women micro-entrepreneurs through capital injections to their group’s revolving loan fund. The capital injection will allow the group to increase the amount and number of loans to members for business activities. Detailed eligibility criteria (which includes Environmental and social exclusion list)for groups to receive support under this sub-component will be captured in the Community Operations Manual. The size of the loan is estimated to be around USD 30,000 per group of about 100 individuals (USD 300 per individual). Component 1.3 will increase the scale of lending to rural women micro- entrepreneurs through financial institutions will not be applicable in Zanzibar. • Component 2: Strengthening Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Prevention and Response (US$9.8 million) will cover shifting social norms & enabling behavior change towards gender equality and GBV prevention (sub-component 2.1) and strengthening GBV response services (sub-component 2.2). Subcomponent 2.1 will finance: (i) the development of a national protocol for a community-based social norms change and GBV prevention program with the structures established by the NPA-VAWCs; and (ii) implementation of the national prevention protocol targeting beneficiaries of the business plan financing under sub-component 1.2 and their partners to ensure that women’s economic activity is supported at the household and couples’ level and can result in a transformation of gender roles and wellbeing of their household. Sub-component 2.2 Strengthening GBV response serviceswill finance district-wide activities in the project districts to strengthen quality and survivor-centred GBV response services, with a main focus on basic service delivery and referral mechanisms at the community-level. This sub-component will further fund rehabilitation of offices of Community Development Officers (CDOs), Social Welfare Officers (SWOs), and other relevant facilities as to be agreed with the World Bank (painting, small internal repairs and provision of screens or partitions as well as lockable cupboards) in the project districts to create adequate conditions for consultations and counselling for survivors where those do not currently exist. 2 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- The project will only fund internal repairs and rehabilitation of these facilities with no expansion of the footprint of existing facilities to be supported. In Zanzibar, the sub-component will fund the construction and equipment of a psychosocial service delivery center in Mjini district. Lastly, this sub-component will support GoT efforts towards the establishment of government-run safe houses that would provide temporary accommodation to survivors who are not able to immediately return to their households and communities.Detailed analysis shall be done which will consider the option of refurbishing existing structures previously used as government-run elderly homes. • Component 3: Innovations and Partnerships (US$1.4 million) has 2 sub-components. Sub-component 3.1 will support a childcare pilot in select project wards. Specifically, it will sensitize and engage women’s groups to establish Community Day Care Centers and creches and finance activities towards the same. The National Guidelines on the Establishment and Management of Creches and the National Guidelines on the Establishment and Management of Day Care Centers will be reviewed and updated as needed as part of the pilot. Sub-Component 3.1 will support a childcare pilot in selected project communities. The pilot include rehabilitation, renovation and upgrading of existing government and community infrastructure for establishment and management of CDCC Zanzibar; there will not be construction of new facilities.

Sub-component 4.1: Project Management will finance overall project coordination and implementation arrangements at the national and local level including FM, procurement and social and environmental safeguards under the Environmental and Social Framework (ESF). The sub-component will finance dedicated support to the implementing agencies and their institutional strengthening, including logistical support and other critical goods necessary for project implementation. The sub- component will include support for strengthening existing coordination structures under the NPA-VAWCs, the sustainability of project activities and the training of critical staff at national and sub-national level. Sub-component 4.2: Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning will finance M&E activities which will include baseline, midline and endline surveys and Iterative Beneficiary Monitoring along with a process evaluation. The sub-component will finance a Management Information System (MIS) to monitor project activities and report on key results indicators. The MIS will be leveraged to monitor other key activities on GBV prevention and response and women’s economic opportunities under MoCDGEC, enabling technology-based solutions for safe and efficient data collection and information management while linking with and complementing existing databases on GBV prevention and response and women’s economic opportunities. The sub-component will finance an Impact Evaluation with a focus on the most innovative aspects of the project design, namely the GBV prevention intervention under sub- component 2.1 and the community childcare pilot under subcomponent 3.1. The impact evaluation will be designed in close collaboration with the World Bank. Lastly, the sub- component will finance a process evaluation and M&E system for the Women Development Fund at MoCDGEC to inform the review of the fund and its future operation. The MoCDGECwill coordinate project activities, including day-to-day implementation, coordination, supervision, and overall management of project activities. 3 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- 4 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- 3.

The Regulations’ main function is to comprehensively describe the legal provisions of the Zanzibar Environmental Management Act No.3 of 2015 that specifically addresses the procedures on carrying out and reviewing Environmental and Social Impact Assessment process. The Regulation contain schedule II 7 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- which describe screening criteria and screening list from which ZEMA decide on the level of assessment required. If a project requires a full ESIA study for environmental clearance, ZEMA recommends for environmental scoping study prior to releasing of Terms of Reference for the that Study through a recognized ESIA consultant (a person or a firm). On submission of that ESIA Study for administrative and institutional clearance, ZEMA convenes an Ad-hoc multidisciplinary Technical Committee on ESIA Review (formed of members from various Government institutions) which provides expertise advice to ZEMA on a wide range environmental and social matters for consideration and makes necessary recommendations to the Director General for appropriate action and necessary clearance conditions. The Department of Environment Zanzibar provides policy guidance and recommends policy, planning and implementation of strategic framework on environmental conservation and management.For projects which does not require EIA, the Environmental Management Act of 2015 has placed the responsibility for preparation, review and approval of Environmental Impact Assessment for local investments to District/Municipal Environmental Officers. 3.3 World Bank Standards and Key Gaps with the National Framework The project will follow the World Bank Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs), as well as the World Bank Group General Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines, Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for Annual Crop Production, Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for dairy processing, Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for mammalian livestock production, Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for perennial crops production and Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for Poultry Production. Based on these policies, the environmental and social risk of the project is categorized as moderate as the potential adverse risks and impacts on human populations and/or the environment are not likely to be significant. The environmental risk classification for the Project is “moderate”. The expected environmental risks of the proposed project are not expected to be significant since the impacts are local, site-specific, short term and reversible. The social risk classification for the project is “moderate”. The project is expected to have a positive social impact at the individual and community level in that it will promote gender equality, economic opportunities, and address the social norms that contribute to GBV and stand as a barrier to women’s empowerment, with an explicit focus on the inclusion of persons with disabilities (PwDs). The World Bank’s environmental and social standards applicable to project activities are summarized below.

Assessment and Management of ESS1 is relevant for the project because project activities are expected to pose moderate Environmental and Social Risks and environmental and social risks such as soil and water pollution, increased waste, dust, Impacts noise, vibration, soil erosion etc. These risks shall emanate from small scale civil works which includes rehabilitation of offices, establishment of safe houses, construction of psychosocial centre (Component 2) and rehabilitation of community infrastructure for development of CDCC (Component 3). Also, there may be small scale agriculture activities, petty trade and tourism as part of component 1. There is also a risk related to use of the buildings by the project including operational accidents and natural hazards including extreme weather events. (Fires, etc.). The borrower will design, construct, operate and decommission the structural elements of the project in accordance with the national legal requirements, the EHSGs, and other GIIP, taking into consideration safety risks and third parties and affected communities (more details are provided under ESS4. This ESMF have identified the responsibilities of project stakeholders, procedures for 8 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- environmental and social safeguards screening, review and approval, monitoring and reporting requirements, as well as plans to enhance institutional capacity. It also includes an exclusion list which includes subprojects that will be ineligible for funding by the project, the list includes subprojects which have potential adverse impacts/risk to environment and social. For moderate risk subprojects, borrower shall be required to prepare and implement subprojects in accordance with national law and any requirement of the ESSs that the Bank deems relevant to such subprojects. 2. Labor and Working Conditions ESS2 is applicable to the project given that the project will employ/engage both skilled and non-skilled workers, including through contractors/ subcontractors, and primary suppliers, to undertake various activities when implementing some of the project activities. The ESS2 is relevant for the project because there are certain labor risks for project workers. Labor-related risks include (i) security risks to project workers, (ii) traffic and road safety issues, (iii) inadequate terms and conditions of employment, and (iv) occupational health and safety risks. The potential Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks during operation phase may include: i) OHS risks related to the potential use of pesticides and agrochemicals, which can have an adverse effect if they enter the body through inhalation, dermal absorption or ingestion or localized ill effects on contact with skin or eyes ii) health related risk due to poor indoor air quality, inadequate potable water and/or waste water disposal, communicable (covid 19) and non-communicable diseases and iv) risks related to man-made or natural disasters (fires, etc.). Reduction of the OHS risks will require effective application of OHS measures provided in ESS2, Occupational Health and Safety (OSHA) Act of 2003 and its accompanying regulations, the General Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines (https://www.ifc.org/content/dam/ifc/doc/2000/2007-general-ehs-guidelines-en.pdf) Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for agribusiness/ food production sector (https://www.ifc.org/en/insights-reports/2000/ehs-guidelines-agribusiness-and-food- production)and GIIP. OHS measures will include compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines, and effective use of work-related Grievance Redress Mechanism where civil servants and consultants will be required to implement 3. Resource Efficiency and Pollution The standard is considered relevant as the project may entail funding small scale Prevention and Management agriculture activities(among other activities such as petty trade, tourism etc) which may in turn involve the use of pesticides, fertilizers, or other agrochemicals which if not properly handled have the potential to cause pollution to soil and water resources. Also,components 2 and 3 shall finance small scale civil works for rehabilitation of offices, establishment of safe houses, construction of psychosocial center, and rehabilitation of community infrastructure for establishment of CDCC which will involve management of construction waste and hazardous materials. Also, operation and maintenance of these buildings are inherent to energy and water usage which require efficiency use according to ESS 3 and liquid and solid waste (mainly garbage) generation which may cause soil and water pollution if not well managed. 4. Community Health and Safety ESS4 is relevant to the project in the sense that, communities’ health and safety issues are associated to typical risks/impacts of construction sites as, dust, noise and vibrations, wastes and labor influx. Some risks/impacts are identified concerning public potential exposure to operational accidents or natural hazards, including extreme weather events. The project will also apply the concept of universal access to the design and construction of such new buildings where technically and financially feasible to take in account the needs of handicapped or limited mobility people accessing the facilities.The borrower will design, construct, operate and decommission the structural elements of the project 9 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- in accordance with the national legal requirements, the EHSGs (especially, 3.3 Life and Fire Safety (L&FS)), and other GIIP, taking into consideration safety risks and third parties and affected communities. The Borrower will identify and implement measures to address emergency events. An emergency event is an unanticipated incident, arising from both natural and man- made hazards, typically in the form of fire, explosions, leaks, or spills, which may occur for a variety of different reasons, including failure to implement operating procedures that are designed to prevent their occurrence, extreme weather, or lack of early warning. The measures will be designed to address the emergency event in a coordinated and expeditious manner; to prevent it from injuring the health and safety of the community; and to minimize, mitigate, and compensate for any impacts that may occur. 6 - Biodiversity Conservation and This ESS is relevant to the project. There is always a potential risk that some livelihood Sustainable Management of Living agriculture activities and associated value chains and other sectors activities to be Natural Resources financed by the project may lead to some impacts on natural habitats, biodiversity and land degradation, such as activities associated with land clearing or pesticide use which can lead to soil erosion or water pollution. 8. Cultural Heritage It is not likely that any project activity would adversely affect cultural heritage as defined under the policy. Any such activities will be excluded from project eligibility. Chance finds procedure have been developed to be implemented during project implementation phase. 10. Stakeholder Engagement and ESS10 is relevant for all projects given the need to engage with beneficiaries and Information Disclosure stakeholders on development activities that affect their lives. 10 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- 4.

These include the approvals from all the relevant authorities such as ZEMA. The planning is the initial phase of the project. This involves various activities that aim at ensuring that the project meets all the requirements and gets approvals prior to the actual physical developments. In the early stages of this phase, the proponent selects the project experts and makes consultative meetings with them. In turn, the appointed experts in consultation with the entire team undertake various designs and submit the same to various authorities for approval. The architects, who are also the lead consultants, undertake design of the designs, which shall be submitted to the relevant authorities for approval. The proposed project’s design will integrate some mitigation measures with a view to ensuring compliance with the applicable laws and procedures as well as the legislation and regulatory framework that govern environmental, social, and worker and community health and safety. To this effect, the proposed project shall be developed to the required planning/architectural/ structural standards of all respective Ministries and agencies. Careful sitting, planning and design of the development to ensure that it is compatible to its surroundings and is in line with construction standards. To address issues to do with waste management, sound waste management policies and procedures will be adopted in accordance with the Environmental management and coordination (Waste Management) Regulations during both the implementation and occupational phases. Waste shall be reduced at source and all avenues towards recycling explored such as backfilling using excavated suitable materials and debris, 17 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- which will ensure environmental enhancement over and above saving on costs. All waste that cannot be recycled should be dumped in approved dumpsite. Other considerations include: ▪ The project shall set out clearly defined E&S procedures to screen subprojects (application of exclusion list, review of industry sector and technical aspects of each subproject) and conduct due diligence to evaluate E&S risk and assign risk categories (low, moderate, substantial and high risk).If the risk is high/substantial the subproject shall be excluded or will undergo modification to reduce the risk. ▪ There shall be systems/processes for due diligence and subsequent monitoring within MoCDGEC/ LGAs the to evaluate, monitor, review and manage E&S risks and impacts of the subprojects. ▪ Including a budget and environmental and social specialist position designated for reporting on the ESMF/ESMPs/EHS performance of subprojects as well as providing training and capacity- building on ESMF/ESMPs procedures and performance. ▪ Establishing external communications mechanism, including a Stakeholder Engagement Plan and a Grievance Mechanism; and ▪ In addition, this ESMFspecifically include the project’s exclusion list (Table 3) which explicitly include projects involving substantial and high-risk sectors (e.g. mining, forest plantations, etc.) and activities, such as involuntary resettlement (all new land acquisition will be excluded from project financing); involving harmful child labor or forced labor; destruction of natural and critical natural habitats; production or commercialization of any product or activity considered illegal according to the laws or regulations of Zanzibar; production or trade of alcoholic beverages (except beer and wine); production, trade, storage or transport of large volumes of hazardous chemicals; and any dams that would be considered a high or substantial risk to support. 18 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- 5. Procedures and Implementation Arrangements 5.1 Environmental and Social Risk Management Procedures The environmental and social risk management procedures will be implemented through the Project’s subproject selection process. In summary, the procedures aim to do the following: Table 4 Project Cycle and E&S Management Procedures Project Stage E&S Stage E&S Management Procedures a. Assessment and Analysis: Screening ▪ During subproject identification, ensure subproject eligibility Subproject identification by referring to the Exclusion List in table 5 below. ▪ For all activities, use the Screening Form in Annex 1 to identify and assess potential environmental and social risks and impacts, and identify the appropriate mitigation measures for the subproject. ▪ Identify the documentation, permits, and clearances required under the government’s Environmental Regulation. b. Formulation and Planning: Planning ▪ Based on Screening Form adopt and/or prepare relevant Planning for subproject activities, environmental and social procedures and plans (ie. ESMP, including human and budgetary Chance find procedures, Fertilizer and pest management plan resources and monitoring measures etc). ▪ For activities requiring Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) submit the first 5 ESMPsfor prior review and no objection by the World Bank prior to initiating bidding processes (for subprojects involving bidding processes) and/or launching activities (for subproject activities not subject to bidding). Then Implement the approved ESMPs. ▪ Ensure that the contents of the ESMPs are shared with relevant stakeholders in an accessible manner and consultations are held with the affected communities in accordance with the SEP. ▪ Complete all documentation, and obtainpermits, and clearances required under the government’s Environmental Regulation. ▪ Train staff responsible for implementation and monitoring of plans and EHS mitigation measures (including reporting). ▪ Incorporate relevant environmental and social requirements procedures and plans into contractor bidding documents, train contractors on relevant procedures and plans. ▪ Ensure that the contents of the ESMP incorporate operation and maintenance procedures for various subprojects (service delivery, safe houses, childcare) c.

Qualitative, quantitative, and/or ▪ Ensure that physical sites are properly restored. participatory data collection on a sample basis More detail for each stage is provided below. a. Subproject Assessment and Analysis – E&S Screening As a first step, all proposed activities should be screened to ensure that they are within the boundaries of the Project’s eligible activities, and they are not considered as activities listed on the E&S Exclusion List in the table below. Table 5 Exclusion List • Weapons, including but not limited to mines, guns, ammunition, and explosives • Support of production of any hazardous good, including alcohol, tobacco, and controlled substances • Any construction in protected areas or priority areas for biodiversity conservation, as defined in national law • Activities that have the potential to cause any significant loss or degradation of critical natural habitats, whether directly or indirectly, or which would lead to adverse impacts on natural habitats • Activities that involve extensive harvest and sale/trade of forest resources (post, timber, bamboo, charcoal, wildlife, etc.) for large-scale commercial purposes • Activities involving changing forestland into agricultural land or logging activities in primary forest • Purchase or use of banned/restricted pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and other dangerous chemicals (banned under national law and World Health Organization (WHO) category 1A and 1B pesticides) • Construction of any new dams or rehabilitation of existing dams including structural and or operational changes; or irrigation or water supply subprojects that will depend on the storage and operation of an existing dam, or a dam under construction for the supply of water • Activities that involve the use of international waterways • Any activity affecting physical cultural heritage such as graves, temples, churches, historical relics, archeological sites, or other cultural structures • Activities that may cause or lead to forced labor or child abuse, child labor exploitation or human trafficking, or subprojects that employ or engage children, over the minimum age of 14 and under the age of 18, in connection with the project in a manner that is likely to be hazardous or interfere with the child’s education or be harmful to the child’s health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral, or social development • Any activity on land that has disputed ownership or tenure rights • Any activity that will cause physical relocation of households or will require the use of eminent domain • Any activity with significant environmental and social risks and impacts that require an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) 20 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- • Any activity that will require Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) as defined in ESS7. As a second step, the Ministry’s PIUwill use the E&S Screening Form in Annex 1 to identify and assess relevant environmental and social risks specific to the activitiesand identify the appropriate mitigation measures. The Screening Form lists the various mitigation measures and plans that may be relevant for the specific activities (such as the Environmental and Social Codes of Practice, the Environmental and Social Management Plan, the Labor Management Procedures, Chance Find Procedures, etc.). EHS monitoring measures and indicators for each subproject shall be included in the ESMP provided in annex 3. The PIU will also identify the documentation, permits, and clearances required under the government’s Environmental Regulation. b. Subproject Formulation and Planning – E&S Planning Based on the process above and the Screening Form, the PIUwill adopt the necessary environmental and social management measures already included in the Annexes of this ESMF (such as the ESCOPs, etc.) or develop relevant site-specific environmental and social management plans. If site-specific ESMPs are necessary, the PIUwill prepare these ESMPs and other applicable documents as needed. ThePIUwill provide approval and compile ESMPs and other applicable forms. The contents of the ESMPs will be shared with relevant stakeholders in an accessible manner, and consultations will be held with the affected communities on the environmental and social risks and mitigation measures. If certain subprojects or contracts are being initiated at the same time or within a certain location, an overall ESMP covering multiple subprojects or contracts can be prepared. The ESMPs in each category of subproject or a different number to be agreed with the World Bank will also be submitted to the World Bank for prior review and no objection. After this first 5, the World Bank and the MoCDGEC-PIU will reassess whether prior review is needed for further ESMPs or a certain category of ESMPs (for example, for activities exceeding a certain budget, for certain types of activities). The MoCDGEC-PIU will also complete the documentation, permits and clearances required under the government’s Environmental Regulation before any project activities begin. At this stage, staff who will be working on the various subproject activities should be trained in the environmental and social management plans relevant to the activities they work on. The MoCDGEC-PIU should provide such training to field staff. The PIU shall also ensure adequate EHS terms and conditions are in contract bids and contracts. In addition, the PIU shall ensure adequate EHS measures are included in operation phase plans/procedures for subprojects (e.g., service delivery, safe houses, childcare, psychosocial centre). The MoCDGEC–PIU should also ensure that all selected contractors, subcontractors, and vendors understand and incorporate environmental and social mitigation measures relevant to them as standard operating procedures for civil works. The Ministry PIU should provide training to selected contractors to ensure that they understand and incorporate environmental and social mitigation measures; and plan for cascading training to be delivered by contractors to subcontractors and vendors. The MoCDGEC-PIU should further ensure that the entities or communities responsible for ongoing operation and 21 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF-- maintenance of the investment have received training on operations stage environmental and social management measures as applicable. c. Implementation and Monitoring – E&S Implementation During implementation, the MoCDGEC-PIU will conduct regular monitoring visits. If there are contractors implementing subproject activities, the contractors will be responsible for implementing the mitigation measures in the E&S risk management documents, with PIU oversight. The MoCDGEC will ensure that monitoring practices include the environmental and social risks identified in the ESMF and will monitor the implementation of E&S risk management mitigation requirements as part of regular project monitoring. At a minimum, the reporting will include (i) the overall ESMF implementation s, (ii) Subproject ES performance, (iii) Occupational Health and Safety performance (including incidents and accidents), (iv) community health and safety, (v) stakeholder engagement updates, in line with the SEP, (vi) public notification and communications, (vii) progress on the implementation and completion of project works, and (viii) summary of grievances/beneficiary feedback received, actions taken, and complaints closed out, in line with the SEP. Reports from the local levels will be submitted to the MoCDGEC -PIU at the national level, where they will be aggregated and submitted to the World Bank on a quarterly or biannual basis. Throughout the Project implementation stage, the MoCDGEC -PIU will continue to provide training and awareness raising to relevant stakeholders, such as staff, selected contractors, and communities, to support the implementation of the environmental and social risk management mitigation measures. An initial list of training needs is proposed below, in Section 5.6. The MoCDGECwill also track grievances/beneficiary feedback (in line with the SEP) during project implementation to use as a monitoring tool for implementation of project activities and environmental and social mitigation measures. Last, if the MoCDGECbecomes aware of a serious incident in connection with the project, which may have significant adverse effects on the environment, the affected communities, the public, or workers, it should notify the World Bank within 48 hours of becoming aware of such incident. A fatality is automatically classified as a serious incident, as are incidents of forced or child labor, abuses of community members by project workers (including gender-based violence incidents), violent community protests, or kidnappings. d. Review and Evaluation – E&S Completion Upon completion of Project activities, the MoCDGECwill review and evaluate progress and completion of project activities, and all required environmental and social mitigation measures. Especially for civil works, the MoCDGECwill monitor activities with regard to site restoration and landscaping in the affected areas to ensure that the activities are done to an appropriate and acceptable standard before closing the contracts, in accordance with measures identified in the ESMPs and other plans. The sites must be restored to at least the same condition and standard that existed prior to commencement of works. Any pending issues must be resolved before a subproject is considered fully completed. TheMoCDGECwill prepare the completion report describing the final status of compliance with the E&S risk management measures and submit it to the World Bank. 22 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- The table below summarizes the roles and responsibilities regarding the implementation arrangements for environmental and social management.

The Ministry premises were used for the meetings. The 110 participants (68 females and 42 males) of these meetings came from all 11 Districts of Unguja and Pemba. They include District Social Welfare Officers, Women and Children Officers, Women Entrepreneurs, Shehas, Officers from One Stop Centers, Officers from Ministry of Trade, Incubation Center paralegals, and NGOs, Department of Public Prosecutors, Gender Police Desk, State Attorney Office, President Office Labor, Economic and Investment on the side of Unguja and Pemba. The key issues were on the overall objectives and description of the project preparations so as to raise their awareness of the project and the four components. 27 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- The environmental and social reports and plans were discussed through presentations in the public meetings. Feedback received during consultations by stakeholders were on components 1 and 2 concerning gender of the beneficiaries, marketing, entrepreneur, construction, and GBV case management, response and services. This was taken into account by the facilitators from the Ministry.

Once all possible means to resolve the complaint have been proposed and if the complainant is still not satisfied, then they should be advised of their right to legal recourse. The Project may result in incidences of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) affecting workers and the community. Handling GBV cases is quite different from handling other complaints. At the Shehia level, Women GBV coordinator will receive GBV related grievances including matters of confidentiality, treating survivors with empathy and what non-identifiable data should be collected and how to refer the case to service providers. Labor Grievance Mechanism will be developed to resolve workers related grievances. GRM procedure will be communicated to the public through different means such as public meetings, announcements, posters and fliers in different government offices and project locations. Grievances can be channeled through letters, suggestion boxes, toll free numbers, during stakeholder meetings and through different committees. More information about project GRM can be found in the Stakeholder engagement Plan disclosed in the ministry website.

Environmental and Social Codes of Practice (ESCOP) To manage and mitigate potential negative environmental impacts, the project applies Environmental Codes of Practice (ESCOPs); outlined in this document. The ESCOPs contain specific, detailed and tangible measures that would mitigate the potential impacts of each type of eligible subproject activity under the project. They are marked as relevant for the planning phase, the implementation phase, or the post-implementation phase of activities. They are intended to be simple risk mitigation and management measures, readily usable to the Borrower and contractors. The ESCOPs in this section are divided into: a. ESCOPs for infrastructure subprojects (general guidelines and technical guidelines)- The project shall finance rehabilitation of CDOs and SWOs offices, establishment of safe houses, child care facilities (pilot), and psychosocial centre through refurbishment of existing community buildings. b. ESCOPs for livelihood support subprojects – Component 1.2 of the project intends to provide loans to women entrepreneurs to support livelihood project activities such as small scale agriculture, petty trade and tourism. c. ESCOPs for Infrastructure Subprojects General ESCOP for Infrastructure Subprojects Issue Environmental Prevention/Mitigation Measures Responsible Party Planning and Construction Phase 1. Noise during a) Plan activities in consultation with communities so that noisiest activities are Contractor/ construction undertaken during periods that will result in least disturbance. (Planning phase) Project E&S b) Use when needed and feasible noise-control methods such as fences, barriers or Specialist deflectors (such as muffling devices for combustion engines or planting of fast- growing trees). (Construction phase) c) Minimize project transportation through community areas. Maintain a buffer zone (such as open spaces, row of trees or vegetated areas) between the project site and residential areas to lessen the impact of noise to the living quarters. (Construction phase) 2. Soil erosion a) Schedule construction during dry season. (Planning phase) Contractor/ b) Contour and minimize length and steepness of slopes. (Construction phase) Project E&S c) Use mulch, grasses or compacted soil to stabilize exposed areas. (Construction phase) Specialist d) Cover with topsoil and re-vegetate (plant grass, fast-growing plants/bushes/trees) construction areas quickly once work is completed. (Post-Construction phase) e) Design channels and ditches for post-construction flows and line steep channels/slopes (e.g., with palm frowns, jute mats, etc.). (Post-Construction phase) 3. Air quality a) Minimize dust from exposed work sites by applying water on the ground regularly Contractor/ during dry season. (Construction phase) Project E&S b) Avoid burn site clearance debris (trees, undergrowth) or construction waste materials. Specialist (Construction phase) c) Keep stockpile of aggregate materials covered to avoid suspension or dispersal of fine soil particles during windy days or disturbance from stray animals. . (Construction phase) d) Reduce the operation hours of generators /machines /equipment /vehicles. (Construction phase) 36 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- e) Control vehicle speed when driving through community areas is unavoidable so that dust dispersion from vehicle transport is minimized. (Construction phase) 4. Water a) Activities should not affect the availability of water for drinking and hygienic Contractor/ quality and purposes. (Construction phase) Project E&S availability b) No soiled materials, solid wastes, toxic or hazardous materials should be stored in, Specialist poured into or thrown into water bodies for dilution or disposal. (Construction phase) c) Avoid the use of waste water pools particularly without impermeable liners. d) Provision of toilets with temporary septic tank. (Construction phase) e) The flow of natural waters should not be obstructed or diverted to another direction, which may lead to drying up of river beds or flooding of settlements. (Construction phase) f) Separate concrete works in waterways and keep concrete mixing separate from drainage leading to waterways. (Construction phase) 5. Solid and a) Segregate construction waste as recyclable, hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Contractor/ hazardous (Construction phase) Project E&S waste b) Collect, store and transport construction waste to appropriately designated/ Specialist controlled dump sites. (Construction phase) c) On-site storage of wastes prior to final disposal (including earth dug for foundations) should be at least 300 metres from rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands. (Construction phase) d) Use secured area for refuelling and transfer of other toxic fluids distant from settlement area (and at least 50 metres from drainage structures and 100 metres from important water bodies); ideally on a hard/non-porous surface. (Construction phase) e) Train workers on correct transfer and handling of fuels and other substances and require the use of gloves, boots, aprons, eyewear and other protective equipment for protection in handling highly hazardous materials. (Construction phase) f) Collect and properly dispose of small amount of maintenance materials such as oily rags, oil filters, used oil, etc. Never dispose spent oils on the ground and in water courses as it can contaminate soil and groundwater (including drinking water aquifer). (Construction phase) g) After each construction site is decommissioned, all debris and waste shall be cleared. (Post-Construction phase) 6. Asbestos a) If asbestos or asbestos containing materials (ACM) are found at a construction Contractor/ site, they should be clearly marked as hazardous waste. (Construction phase) Project E&S Specialist b) The asbestos should be appropriately contained and sealed to minimize exposure. (Construction phase) c) Prior to removal, if removal is necessary, ACM should be treated with a wetting agent to minimize asbestos dust. (Construction phase) d) If ACM is to be stored temporarily, it should be securely placed inside closed containers and clearly labeled. (Construction phase) e) Removed ACM must not be reused.

Simplified Labor Management Procedures In accordance with the requirements of World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standard 2 (ESS2) on Labor and Working Conditions, a simplified LMP have been developed for the project. The LMP sets out the ways in which MoCDGECwill manage all project workers in relation to the associated risks and impacts. The objectives of the LMP are to: Identify the different types of project workers that are likely to be involved in the project; identify, analyze and evaluate the labor-related risks and impacts for project activities; provide procedures to meet the requirements of ESS 2 on Labor and Working Conditions, ESS 4 on Community Health and Safety, and applicable national legislation. The Labor Management Procedures apply to all project workers, irrespective of contracts being full- time, part-time, temporary or casual. The types of workers that will be included in the project are listed below: • Direct workers – The implementation of PAMOJA Sub-projects will utilize direct workers working with the PAMOJA PIU as well as government civil servants at the MoCDGEC and LGAs level. Furthermore, the project will employ independent consultants who will be working on contractual bases with different time inputs as part of PAMOJA PIU. The estimated number of direct workers for each LGA will not exceed 20 including the management unit, technical unit, social, environmental, financial, procurement and administrative. Direct workers will be managed by MoCDGEC in accordance with the Tanzania Employment and Labour Relations Act of 2004, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 2003; and the World Bank ESS 2. Timing of labor requirements: Direct project workers are eligible to work on full-time fixed renewable contracts for the duration of the entire project implementation. For the consultants, the duration of contracts will vary by assignment but generally, not less than one year. • Contracted workers – Contracted workers will be hired under the standard form of Contract for Construction/ Rehabilitation. The number of Sub-Projects will correspond to the number of Contractors with the possibility of one contractor being awarded multiple Sub-Projects. Each contractor might need engagement of multiple subcontractors. The subcontractors’ workforce will be also considered as contracted workers. The labor requirement including the time schedule and deliverables will be as stipulated in their respective contracts. Timing of labor requirements: Contracted workers timing and labor requirements will vary by assignment. They will generally be for a minimum of six months and potentially for several years during project life cycle depending on the contract duration. • Community workers – The program may involve community workers especially for component 2 which aims at strengthening economic opportunities where the program will involve local communities and groups for program activities such as capacity and trainings. • Primary supply workers – This group of workers might be engaged on the project as certain supply of materials (i.e. aggregate and crushed stone, sand, timber, paints, electrical equipment etc.) will be required within PAMOJA project. The potential number is not possible to be provided as this will depend of the sourcing strategy and management by the Contractors/ Fundis. However, in case third parties qualifying as primary supply workers are to be engaged risks of potential child labor, forced labor ad serious safety issues which may arise in relation to primary suppliers shall be assessed. 43 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- Labor Risks The following potential labor risks are identified under the project: • Violation of worker’s rights: Terms and conditions of employment of workers may not be consistent with national legislation or World Bank standards • Violation of worker’s rights: Non-discrimination and equal opportunity of workers may not be consistent with national legislation or World Bank standards • Use of child labor or forced labor • OHS risks related to the potential use of pesticides and agrochemicals, which can have an adverse effect if they enter the body through inhalation, dermal absorption or ingestion or localized ill effects on contact with skin or eyes, • Risk related to civil works (construction/rehabilitation works) including exposure to hazardous materials (PCBs, asbestos, lead based paint), substances and process if they are not properly controlled, inhalation of dust, toxic fumes, noise, vibration, ergonomic hazards, • Health related risk due to poor indoor air quality, inadequate potable water and/or waste water disposal, communicable (covid 19) and non communicable diseases • Risks related to man-made or natural disasters (fires, etc.). • Unsafe work environment and poor working conditions • Workplace injuries and accidents, particularly when operating construction equipment, when working at height on building construction, and when handling heavy equipment and materials • Risks from exposure to hazardous substances (dust, cement, chemicals used in construction etc.) • Sexual exploitation and abuse/sexual harassment (SEA/SH) risks for workers • SEA/SH risks for community members, from workers from outside the project areas • Conflicts between workers and communities • Transmission of COVID-19 among workers or nearby communities, especially if workers are not hired locally and arrive to civil works locations from elsewhere or if COVID-19 specific precautions are not in place at work sites and worker accommodation sites Relevant National Labor Legislation General Applicable Procedures MoCDGEC and contractors will apply the following guidelines when dealing with workers: • There will be no discrimination with respect to any aspects of the employment relationship, such as: Recruitment and hiring; compensation (including wages and benefits; working conditions and terms of employment; access to training; job assignment; promotion; termination of employment or retirement; or disciplinary practices. • Harassment, intimidation and/or exploitation will be prevented or addressed appropriately. • Special measures of protection and assistance to remedy discrimination or selection for a particular job will not be deemed as discrimination. • Vulnerable project workers will be provided with special protection. • MoCDGEC and contractors will provide job / employment contracts with clear terms and conditions including rights related to hours of work, wages, overtime, compensation and benefits, annual holiday and sick leave, maternity leave and family leave.

[Responsible parties at the implementing agency] will identify subproject activities, prepare subproject designs and bidding documents, as well as procure contractors. [Responsible parties at the implementing agency] will be responsible for contractor and site supervision, technical quality assurance, certification, and payment of works. [Responsible parties at the implementing agency] will ensure that labor management procedures are integrated into the specification section of the bidding documents and the procurement contracts. Grievance Mechanism There will be a specific Workers Grievance Mechanism (Worker GM) for project workers as per the process outlined below. This considers culturally appropriate ways of handling the concerns of direct and contracted workers. Processes for documenting complaints and concerns have been specified, including time commitments to resolve issues. Workers will be informed about the relevant Worker GM upon their recruitment and their right to redress, confidentiality and protection against any reprisals from the employer will be stated in the contract. Routine Grievances The process for the Worker GM is as follows: • Any worker may report their grievance in person, by phone, text message, mail or email (including anonymously if required) to the contractor as the initial focal point for information and raising grievances. For complaints that were satisfactorily resolved by the aggrieved worker or contractor within one week of receipt of complaint, the incident and resultant resolution will be logged and reported monthly to the [responsible parties at the implementing agency]. • If the grievance is not resolved within one week, the contractor (or the complainant directly) will refer the issue to the [responsible parties at the implementing agency – this may be site level, local, regional]. The [responsible parties at the implementing agency – this may be site level, local, regional] will work to address and resolve the complaint and inform the worker as promptly as possible, in particular if the complaint is related to something urgent that may cause harm or exposure to the person, such as lack of PPE needed to prevent COVID-19 transmission. For non-urgent complaints, the [responsible parties at the implementing agency – this may be site level, local, regional] will aim to resolve complaints withing 2 weeks. For complaints that were satisfactorily resolved by the [responsible parties at the implementing agency – this may be site level, local, regional], the incident and resultant resolution will be logged by [responsible parties at the implementing agency – this may be site level, local, regional] and reported monthly to [national level responsible parties at the implementing agency] as part of regular reporting. Where the complaint has not been resolved, the [responsible parties at the implementing agency – this may be site level, local, regional] will refer to [national level responsible parties at the implementing agency] for further action or resolution. The workers will preserve all rights to refer matters to relevant judicial proceedings as provided under national labor law. 49 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- At [national level responsible parties at the implementing agency] level, each grievance record should be allocated a unique number reflecting year, sequence and township of received complaint. Complaint records (letter, email, record of conversation) should be stored together, electronically or in hard copy. The [the implementing agency] will appoint a Worker GM Focal Person, who will be responsible for undertaking a monthly review of all grievances to analyze and respond to any common issues arising. The Focal Person will also be responsible for oversight, monitoring and reporting on the Worker GM. Serious Grievances In case a worker experiences serious mistreatment such as harassment, intimidation, abuse, violence, discrimination or injustice at the workplace, the worker may raise the case, verbally or in writing directly to the contractor or [implementing agency – at different levels]. The contractor will immediately refer the case to MoCDGEC. The MoCDGECwill immediately investigate the case respecting confidentiality and anonymity of the worker. Upon project effectiveness, the MoCDGECwill designate a Focal Person or Persons for Serious Grievances. These Focal Persons will receive training in investigating serious grievances, relevant laws and regulations, and World Bank standards including the rights of people who file a grievance. MoCDGEC and the World Bank will jointly develop culturally-sensitive and locally-appropriate roles and responsibilities, and procedures. In case a direct worker or civil servant has a serious grievance, the staff may directly contact verbally or in writing the Focal Person for Serious Grievances. All complaints received will be filed and kept confidential. For statistical purposes, cases will be anonymized and bundled to avoid identification of persons involved. Code of Conduct • Treat women, children (persons under the age of 18), and men with respect regardless of ethnicity, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, social origin, citizenship status, property, disability, birth or other status. • Do not use language or behavior towards women, children or men that is inappropriate, harassing, abusive, sexually provocative, demeaning or culturally inappropriate. • Do not participate in sexual activity with community members. • Do not engage in sexual favors or other forms of humiliating, degrading or exploitative behavior. • Do not engage in any activity that will constitute payment for sex with members of the communities surrounding the workplace. • Report through the Worker GM suspected or actual gender-based violence against a person of any gender by a fellow worker or any breaches of this Code of Conduct. • Use any computers, mobile phones, or video and digital cameras appropriately, and never to exploit or harass women, children or a vulnerable person through these mediums. • Comply with all relevant local legislation. • Engaging in any of the prohibited activities above can be cause for termination of employment, criminal liability, and/or other sanctions. 50 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- 51 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- Annex 5.

Fertilizer and Pest Management Plan MoCDGECwill follow the guidelines in this Annex as applicable and provide training to farmers for proper use of fertilizers, pest and disease management in line with this Annex. The MoCDGEC will encourage the use of bio-pesticides and aim to minimize the use of chemical pesticides when possible. The plan comprises the following three aspects: (i) application of government regulations on pesticide control, (ii) key impacts of pesticides and mitigation measures, and (iii) training on safe use of chemicals. Government Regulations related to Pesticides.The manufacture, importation, wholesale and retail of pesticides in Zanzibar is regulated by the Zanzibar Food, Drug and Cosmetics Board (ZFDB) established by the Zanzibar Food and Drug and Cosmetics Act (ZFDC, No. 2 of 2006). However, there are no specific provisions for the pesticides in the act. Key Impacts of Pesticides and Mitigation Measures. Pesticides benefit the farmers for the crop production, nevertheless, they also impose a series of negative impacts on the environment. Pesticides may easily contaminate the air, ground water, surface water, and soil when they run off from fields, escape storage tanks, and not discarded properly. Moreover, pesticides are hazardous to both pests and humans and they become toxic to humans and non-target animal species if suitable precautions are not undertaken during transport, storage, handling and disposal. Most pesticides will cause adverse effects if they are in contact with the skin for a long time or if intentionally or accidently ingested. Pesticides may be inhaled with the air while they are being sprayed. An additional risk is the contamination of drinking-water, food or soil. The following mitigation measures are recommended from different aspects at every stage in order to avoid the adverse impacts on both human and the environment due to pesticides. Stage Mitigation Measures6 Before using 1. Minimize the need for pesticides by practicing integrated management by control strategies such as pesticides cultural control, mechanical control, physical control, biological control and chemical control. 2. Receive recommendations from Tanzania Plant Health and Pesticides Authority for proper management method for specific crop. General precautions 1. Only choose the pesticides labelled in the national language and do not use the pesticides without any label or with foreign language labels. 2. Select the pesticide which is suitable for specific pests and target plants as described on the label. 3. Do not mix any two or more pesticides at the same time. 4. Follow the instructions for use and the pre-harvest interval (PHI) as prescribed on the label. 5. Use appropriate and correct application techniques to ensure safety for the health of humans, animals and the environment. Label Reading 1. Check the pesticide registration number on your product. 2. Review the date of manufacture and date of expiry. 3.Read the active ingredient and pesticide group on your product. 4. Read the target pests, dosage of product. 5. Read the pre-harvest interval (PHI). 6. Read the storage and disposal procedure for the product. 7. Read the first aid procedure. 8.Follow the instructions and safety precautions precisely written on the label. Storage and 1. Store pesticides in a certain place that can be locked and not accessible to unauthorized people or 6 Instructions from Safe Use of Pesticides by WHO. 53 Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) (P 178813) ESMF -- Stage Mitigation Measures6 Transport children. 2. Never be kept in a place where they might be mistaken for food or drink. 3. Keep them dry but away from fires and out of direct sunlight. 4. Store away from water sources. 5. Should be transported in well-sealed and labelled containers. 6. Do not carry them in a vehicle that is also used to transport food. Handling / From Environmental Safety Aspect – Application 1. Application rates must not exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations. 2. Avoid application of pesticides in wet and windy conditions. 3. Pesticides must not be directly applied to streams, ponds, lakes, or other surface bodies. 4. Maintain a buffer zone (area where pesticides will not be applied) around water bodies, residential areas, livestock housing areas and food storage areas. From Health and Safety of User Aspect – 1. Use suitable equipment for measuring out, mixing and transferring pesticides. 2. Do not stir liquids or scoop pesticides with bare hands. 3. Do not spray pesticides at the down-stream direction and during the strong wind. 4. Do not spray pesticides at the high temperature of the day (noon). 5. Do not suck or blow the blocked nozzle. 6. Do not assign pregnant women, lactating mother and children under 18 for handling and use of pesticides. 7. Protective gloves, shoes, long-sleeved shirt and full trousers shall always be worn when mixing or applying pesticides. 8. Respiratory devices (nose mask) shall be used to avoid accidental inhaling. 9. In case if any exposure/body contact with the pesticide, wash-off and seek medical aid. Disposal From Environmental Safety Aspect – 1. Dispose any left-over pesticide by pouring it into a pit latrine. 2. It should not be disposed of where it may enter water used for dinking or washing, fish ponds, creeks or rivers. 3. Do not dispose any empty containers into river, creek, fish ponds and water way. 4. Do not burn any empty containers. 5. Decontaminate the pesticide containers by triple rinsing and use for next application. i.e. part-filling the empty container with water three times and emptying into a bucket or sprayer for next application. 6. All empty package and containers should be returned to the designated organization / individual for safe disposal. 7. If safe disposal is not available, bury the empty package and containers at least 50cm (20 inches) from ground level as much as possible. 8. The hole / disposal site must be at least 100 meters (~300 ft) away from the streams, wells and houses. 9. Do not reuse empty pesticide containers for any purposes. Personal Hygiene 1. Never eat, drink or smoke while handling pesticides. 2. Change clothes immediately after spraying pesticides. 3. Wash hands, face, body and clothes with plenty of water using soap after pesticides handling. Emergency Measures Indications of Pesticide Poisoning General: extreme weakness and fatigue.
