Summary Description of Proposed Project [including overview of Country, Sectoral & Institutional Contexts and Relationship to CPF] The general objective of the Project Increase land-tenure security and adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices by family farmers and PIPCTs communities and sustainable natural resources management in select territories.. The Project aims to contribute to the promotion of sustainable development of family farming, increasing socio- productive inclusion and economic dynamism of agrarian reform settlements and territories of Traditional Peoples and Communities, with legal security of land ownership. The project will contribute to land regularization and incentivize the adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices by family farmers and the implementation of natural Sept 22, 2022 Page 2 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) resources conservation practices by landholders and traditional communities. The Project is organized into 4 components: Component 1 – Land Tenure Regularization (USD 20.08 million) aims to contribute to the implementation of Piauí’s Land Tenure Regularization Program and to strengthening real property rights, through inter alia: (i) modernization and strengthening of the Piauí Land Institute (INTERPI); (ii) carrying out the identification, demarcation and registration of state land; (iii) carrying out the Land Tenure Regularization Program in rural settlements and in traditional communities. INTERPI will lead the implementation of this component. Subcomponent 1.1. Modernization and strengthening of INTERPI. Building on the results of the Pillars I project (see Box 1), the project will continue to support the modernization and strengthening of INTERPI’s capacities in order to make the institution more efficient in delivering its services. The project will also support the implementation of INTERPI’s information systems: the Register of Agrarian Information (Sistema de Registro de Informações Agrárias – REGINA) and e-titles (e-títulos). Under this subcomponent the project will also enhance collaboration between INTERPI and relevant institutions and organizations for land tenure regularization, such as the Inspector General of the State Secretariat of Justice (Corregedoria Geral de justiça do Poder Judiciário do Estado do Piauí – CGJ-PI), the Special Group for Land Regularization and Combating Land Grabbing (Grupo Especial de Regularização Fundiária e Combate à Grilagem – GERCOG), the Public Defender’s office of Piauí (Defensoria Pública do Estado do Piauí – DPE-PI), and the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária – INCRA). Subcomponent 1.2. Identification, demarcation and registration of State land. One of INTERPI's central responsibilities is to identify, demarcate and register the state's vacant lands. Despite the progress achieved in the implementation of the Pillars I Project, INTERPI still faces the challenge of demarcating and registering millions of hectares of land Public Disclosure considered vacant, mainly due to the lack of human and financial resources, associated with the lack of modern equipment that can speed up the process and make it more efficient. The project will support the identification, demarcation and registration of State land that is a necessary precondition for INTERPI to regularize the ownership of State land and of its occupant in good faith. Subcomponent 1.3. Land Tenure Regularization aims to expand the emission and registration of tiles for agrarian reform settlements. To do this, the Project will implement the following activities (that were designed and tested successfully by the Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - P129342): (i) public awareness campaigns; (ii) production of registration data; (iii) issuance and registration of land titles through computerized procedures. Under the Traditional Communities Office of INTERPI, the project will also carry-out dedicated land tenure regularization program in traditional communities. Component 2 – Environmental Management (USD 7.23 million). The main objective of this Component is to contribute to improving the State’s capacity to promote sustainable natural resources management and to promote the adoption of sustainable natural resources practices within selected private landholdings and Community Territories through, inter alia: (i) rural environmental cadaster and environmental regularization for the selected territories; (ii) the implementation of preventive measures or measures to control and combat natural vegetation fires, and (ii) the implementation of a system that enables continuous monitoring of the quality of surface and groundwater in the State. SEMAR will lead the implementation of this component. Subcomponent 2.1. Landholdings and community territories environmental regularization. The environmental regularization process for landholdings and Community Territories is composed of several stages and requires action by different stakeholders. These steps involve the registration, analysis, and validation of the Rural Environmental Registry (Cadastro Ambiental Rural – CAR), and the State needs to regulate and implement its Environmental Regularization Program (Programa de Regularização Ambiental – PRA). This subcomponent will support the landholding environmental regularization procedures, including: (i) rural environmental cadaster of the landholders Sept 22, 2022 Page 3 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) supported for land tenure titling; (ii) analysis and validation of CARs issued as a result of Pillar I and Pillar II projects; and (iii) support landholders’ adhesion to the PRA. Subcomponent 2.2. Natural vegetation fire prevention, control, and management has the objective of preventing, controlling and fighting natural vegetation fires through educational actions aimed at rural settlements, communities of small producers and traditional peoples and communities. For firefighting actions, training will be held for volunteer community members and volunteer brigades to support actions of the State Secretariat for Environment and Water Resources (SEMAR). Activities will focus on the preparation of studies, implementation of programs and environmental inspections. Subcomponent 2.3. Water resources management aims to monitor water quality, by updating the monitoring network; modernizing the laboratories for water quality analysis; updating of the State Water Resources Plan; and implement activities to inspect and regulate potentially polluting activities. The subcomponent will also support the preparation and implementation of Water Resource Management Plans for selected areas. Component 3 – Sustainable Rural Development (USD 25.30 million). This component aims to increase adoption of sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices to improve livelihoods of poor family farmers, through: (i) support of sustainable, climate-smart productive investments by family farmers groups; (ii) fostering the adoption of climate- smart practices in the sector; and (iii) strengthening of services delivered to farmers. The State Secretariat for Agriculture (Secretaria da Agricultura – SAF) will lead the implementation of this component. Subcomponent 3.1. Sustainable, climate-smart productive investments aims at increasing participation of family farmers, in particular women and traditional communities in agricultural value-chains by (i) identifying sustainable and climate-smart business opportunities for select farmers’ groups; (ii) strengthening the technical, managerial and organizational capacities of farmers’ groups through the provision of advisory services and (iii) supporting key Public Disclosure investments by select farmers’ groups. To ensure inclusion, special emphasis will be given to rural women, agrarian reform settlers and PICPT communities. Subcomponent 3.2. Adoption of climate-smart practices in the sector aims to increase the resilience of family farmers and rural communities by enhancing the adoption of sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices. To this end, the project will support (i) technical and managerial training in agroecological practices. Women groups will be targeted specifically by this activity to foster inclusion. The project will also support (ii) the implementation of photovoltaic systems to support irrigation and/or micro agro-processing units set in place by farmers’ organizations; and (iii) in a context of increased water scarcity, and to complement at the family level, what will be done at communities’ level through subcomponent 2.3., the project will support the implementation of water re-use systems to irrigate agricultural fields. For both the photovoltaic and the water re-use systems, the project will support implementation and training on the use and maintenance of such systems. Subcomponent 3.3. Strengthening services to farmers aims at fostering an enabling environment for a sustainable and productive development of family farmers. The project will strengthen technical assistance and extension services in the State, through strengthening capacities of technicians, implementation of innovative extension services, decentralization of services to further support farmers on the technical and managerial aspects of their productive activities. The project will also support strengthening the capacities of farmers’ organizations to enhance the quality of their services to their members. The project will develop partnerships with existing services providers, including the State Institute of Technical Assistance and Extension (Instituto de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural – EMATER). Services of SAF will also be strengthened to ensure higher quality of services delivered to farmers and better monitoring of results. Component 4. Territorial approach and project management (USD 9.89 million). This component aims to strengthen (i) the implementation by the State of the three-pronged territorial approach by strengthening its knowledge management of territorial information; and (ii) the general management and supervision of the project. Sept 22, 2022 Page 4 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) Subcomponent 4.1. Territorial/Geospatial Knowledge Management. The State Land and Environmental Geotechnical Centre (Centro de Geotecnologia Fundiária e Ambiental do Estado do Piauí - CGEO) will lead the implementation of this subcomponent. This subcomponent aims to provide accurate geospatial information for the elaboration of public policies. The generation and provision of spatial data on land use, land tenure, natural vegetation and natural vegetation fire risk is needed to underpin the elaboration and implementation of strategies for improving land-use sustainability and efficiency, and for the maintenance of natural habitats and associated environmental services. The data can also help identify extreme weather events issues, related to water scarcity, droughts and natural vegetation fires, enabling technical assistance and extension services to farmers to provide adequate services. The subcomponent will support the design and implementation of monitoring systems and electronic tools for land use mapping and other studies. Subcomponent 4.2. Project Management. This subcomponent will be implemented by the State Secretariat for Planning (Secretariat Estadual do Planejamento – SEPLAN). The objective of this subcomponent is to provide support for the Project’s technical and administrative management, including social and environmental risk management, communication, monitoring, evaluation, reporting and auditing activities. It will enhance inter-institutional collaboration necessary to the successful implementation of the project. It will finance studies, workshops, training, travel, technical advice, consulting, administrative services, limited software and equipment, and operating costs. Subcomponent 4.3. Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC). This subcomponent will provide for an immediate response to eligible emergencies. In the event of such an emergency (as defined in the Contingency Emergency Response Operational Manual to be prepared and adopted by the State of Piauí), this component will finance emergency activities and expenditures through the reallocation of funds from the project. Public Disclosure D. Environmental and Social Overview D.1. Detailed project location(s) and salient physical characteristics relevant to the E&S assessment [geographic, environmental, social] The State of Piauí is located in the Northeast region of Brazil. It has an area of 251,529 sq. km and a population of 3.2 million inhabitants. The Human Development Index (0.697) is the 3rd worst among all Brazilian states. The state GDP counted for 0.7% of Brazilian GDP and the per capita GDP was the lowest among Brazilian states. The average income from work and the average household per capita income were the 2nd and 4th lowest in the country, respectively. Nearly 42% of the population benefit from conditional cash transfer programs. According to data from the Unified Cadaster of Federal Social Protection Programs (CadÚnico) there are 606,723 families living under extreme poverty (about 1,5 million people – 45.6% of the state population) in the state. They comprise 104,132 families (around 260,000 people) from traditional and vulnerable social groups (17.2% of the state’s extremely poor), of which 97,959 family farmers (including artisanal fishermen, quilombolas, agrarian reform settlers riverine, extractive and self-identified Indigenous Peoples families). The federal conditional cash transfer program (CCTP) benefited 78.5% of these vulnerable families. As the 2016 Agrarian Census counted 245,601 rural landholdings in the state of which 80.3% were family farms, extreme poverty reaches 39.9% of the later, among whom 71% held land titles and women counted for just 23%. Water scarcity is among the major hurdles for welfare improvement. The climate is semi-arid climate with long and severe droughts and annual precipitation below 1,000 mm (and under 500 mm in some areas). Potential evaporation exceeds precipitation by far. The rainy season lasts around four months but has considerable year-to-year variability. The Caatinga is the dominant biome in the state prevailing in the south and central regions; the Cerrado biome prevails in the Southwest Region; and wetlands and coastal vegetation occur in the coastal areas. Atlantic Forest vegetation occurs in localized sites. All water resources in the State are under severe stress. The Parnaiba River drains Sept 22, 2022 Page 5 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) most of the State and its tributaries in the central and east portion of the state are intermittent. The State has large groundwater resources but overexploitation is resulting in their exhaustion as verified in the Guaribas River Watershed. Institutional deficiencies in water management may be accelerating the process of water degradation and aggravating the water scarcity problem. Poverty is high in the rural areas, which face challenges mainly driven by land tenure insecurity, low dynamism of family farming activities, and high incidence of forest fires often caused by the use of inappropriate slash-and-burn practices widely used for pest control, cleaning of areas for sowing and regrowth of pastures. In the Caatinga biome, land insecurity is mainly faced by settlers peacefully living in state-owned lands but lacking land titles. In the Cerrado, traditional communities – who lack property title over the lands they customarily use for agricultural, extractive and pastoral activities– have faced growing Land-related conflicts (particularly over the lands they collectively use) given the expansion of the agribusiness frontier, land speculation, and land grabbing. Land and food insecurity, water scarcity, deforestation and biodiversity loss, destruction of traditional livelihoods and violence against community dwellers and leaders have been often reported. Civil society organizations mapped 12 traditional communities that would be a priority for land regularization given the threats they face. Women further struggle with these threats as – also in consequence of gender inequalities and prevailing cultural norms – they have lower access to productive inputs, credit and land than men, insufficient access to information, technical assistance and extension services; and limited participation in learning events, producer organizations and decision-making arenas. D. 2. Borrower’s Institutional Capacity The Government of Piauí, through the State Secretariat for Planning (SEPLAN) will be the Borrower for the proposed loan, with the Federative Republic of Brazil serving as Guarantor. SEPLAN will host a Project Management Unit (PMU) and will be responsible for the implementing agency technical-operational, financial and administrative management Public Disclosure of the Project, planning, coordination and institutional articulation with the Federal Government and other State Departments and with municipal public bodies, technical assistance and training if necessary, technical analysis and monitoring/supervision of field actions and monitoring, evaluation and knowledge management. SEPLAN will also be responsible for implementing the social and environmental risk management instruments, as well as for disseminating project results through a proactive communication strategy. In addition, SEPLAN will ensure that counterpart resources are foreseen in the State’s budget. SEPLAN will partner with INTERPI, SEMAR and SAF for the implementation of the various components. A Project Steering Committee will be implemented to ensure oversight over the implementation of the Project. The Steering Committee (COGEP) will be chaired by SEPLAN and include representatives of the three implementing agencies. INTERPI, SEMAR and SAF have also been involved with the implementation of components under the recently completed Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project (P129342). SEPLAN and the implementing agencies have previous experience with the Bank’s safeguard policies under P129342. They have no previous experience with the Environmental and Social Standards, but are working closely with the Bank’s assigned environmental and social specialists in the simultaneous preparation of the E&S instruments of two new operations under the ESF. The institutional capacity of the Borrower for the management of environmental and social risks will be assessed during Project preparation and measures will be devised to strengthen it. Nevertheless, it is worth to highlight that measures to strengthen the Borrower’s institutional capacity for E&S risk management have already been taken. One social development and one environmental specialist have been assigned to work with the E&S specialist from P129342 and coordinate the preparation of the E&S instruments (with the implementing agencies). These three specialists shall be maintained as part of the PMU core team throughout project implementation. A community communication specialist to the PMU core team will be additionally assigned and E&S focal points will be kept by each of the implementing agencies to facilitate supervision, monitoring and reporting. Sept 22, 2022 Page 6 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) Furthermore, some relevant measures have been taken in response to the main concerns raised by key stakeholders and affected parties during the implementation of P129342. Thus, SAF has hired specialized consultants for working with rural women and youth as well as with traditional communities aiming to ensure they get a fair share of PROGERE’s benefits. INTERPI has created a Coordination for Traditional Communities, expanded the channels of engagement with these vulnerable groups and – in consultation with civil society organizations – championed the review of the State Land Regularization Law that now prioritizes the regularization of traditional communities and encompasses the issuance of collective land titles. The State Ombudsman Office was supported in the establishment and statewide dissemination of a toll-free phone 3-digit line. II. SCREENING OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL (ES) RISKS AND IMPACTS A. Environmental and Social Risk Classification (ESRC) Substantial Environmental Risk Rating Moderate The Environmental Risk rating of the project is Moderate. The Project looks to increase land-tenure security, support the adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices and sustainable natural resources management in select territories and does not include any activity with potential to generate significant negative environmental impacts. It includes diverse technical assistance activities, aiming to support the formulation of programs and plans and to strengthen the borrower’s institutional capacity, (e.g. Subcomponent 1.1 and Component 4). The TA activities neither include the preparation of future investment projects, nor pose direct adverse environmental impacts and shall not result in “downstream” negative environmental impacts. The Project was designed, looking to protect and conserve Public Disclosure biodiversity and habitats, and the proposed land tenure regularization activities shall result in an overall positive impacts on the environment. Land tenure is recognized as a foundation for reducing illegal deforestation and degradation of rural landscapes and maintaining vital ecosystems services. Land titles are key for deforestation control, allowing the demarcation of legal reserves and permanent protection areas and enabling the identification of the persons accountable for illegal deforestation activities. The alternative to land tenure regularization is a "no action" scenario, with continuity of the current situation, favoring the uncontrolled exploitation and deforestation of Cerrado. The land regularization environmental management framework - developed by the Project Piaui Pillars of Growth - includes procedures in the preparation of the Rural Environmental Cadasters (CAR), aiming to improve conservation, as the preservation of ecological corridors, fragile ecosystems and areas with relevant biodiversity. The institutional capacity of Interpi, SEMAR and CGEO in implementing land tenure regularization- acquired during the implementation of projects funded by the Bank - reduces the risks of negative impacts to the environment. The promotion of sustainable and climate-smart agriculture and the technical assistance on agricultural production pose potential environmental risks and impacts, as some agricultural activities may interfere with sensitive biodiversity areas, land use conversion for production increase, use inadequate soil management and indiscriminate use of pesticides. The potential impacts would be limited in scope and localized, and can be avoided and/or mitigated with proper environmental management practices. SAF has prior experience with the Bank environmental guidelines, reducing the potential risk due to the agricultural production activities. The ESMF shall define specific guidelines for the rural development component. The natural resources management activities, including the natural vegetation fire prevention (Subcomponent 2.2) and water resources management (Subcomponent 2.3) may result in positive impacts to the environment. Currently, natural vegetation fires are among the main environmental problems faced by the state of Piauí. The fires contribute to the emission of carbon compounds resulting in the acceleration of climate change, pollute the atmosphere and accelerate the processes of desertification and loss of biodiversity. The Project Sept 22, 2022 Page 7 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) will encourage and promote techniques that allow the control, monitoring and reduction of vegetation fire, and shall result in significant environmental benefits. Improvements in water resource management may also result in positive environmental impacts, improving water quality across the State. In sum, the Project does not include activities with potential to generate significant adverse environmental impacts and is expected to have an overall positive impact on the environment and can contribute to reduce illegal deforestation and degradation of rural landscapes, maintain vital ecosystems services, reduce GHG emissions, leading to a sustainable landscape management. Social Risk Rating Substantial The social risk rating of the project is assessed as Substantial, because of the following risk factors: Firstly, Component 1 deals with land regularization of small family farmers and traditional communities (good faith occupants of State vacant lands) in a context that has been ridden by land conflicts, land grabbing, social tension and conflicts in face of the expansion of the agrarian frontier (particularly in the Cerrado Piauiense). These land regularization activities are not expected to lead to significant adverse impacts related to permanent or temporary physical and economic displacement due to land acquisition or restrictions on land use, because the component will only regularize plots of land already peacefully occupied by non-titled small farmers, settlers of agrarian settlements, quilombola and traditional communities. They are not expected to compromise existing legitimate (customary, collective or subsidiary) land rights of traditional communities and small farmers or lead to the eviction of non-title holders. On the contrary, the land regularization component explicitly aims to recognize and increase the security of these land rights as well as to benefit these traditional communities and vulnerable social groups. Nevertheless, the regularization of quilombola territories may adversely affect a small number of occupants living in these areas who may not self- identify as quilombolas and may need to be resettled. It is worth to highlight that the Brazilian legislation on the regularization of quilombola territories already prohibits the removal of these occupants without proper and previous Public Disclosure compensation and gives preference to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based – in this case, resettlers shall be provided with land for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the land taken. It is not expected that the carrying out of land demarcation and regularization works will require or rely on the use of security forces for protection of the Project workers, but whether or not security forces will be needed will be explored during the preparation of the Project’s ESMF. Secondly, activities envisaged under Component 2 – aiming the prevention and control of forest fires – are expected to engage with and provide adequate training and equipment to community members who volunteer to be part of the community groups and brigades . These community workers, who may be exposed to some health and safety risks when carrying out these activities. Other social risks are associated with: (a) context-related factors leading to land conflicts between traditional communities and the expansion of the agrarian frontier in the areas of the Cerrado biome in the Southwestern portion of the state; (b) the prevalence of agriculture production techniques that rely on fire to clean land areas for agricultural uses and the potential resistance and challenges that family farmers may show to adopt new practices; (c) potential changes in land use or land conversion with adverse impacts on livelihoods and nutrition patterns of poor and/or traditional rural communities; and (d) the institutional capacity of the implementing agencies, which is addressed through the robust Component on institutional strengthening and the envisaged cooperation with civil society organizations and other governmental agencies (as the Public Attorney Office and the Land Courts under Component 1 or the Environmental Police Battalion under Component 2). Despite the implementation of the previous operation under the safeguard policies, the Borrower lacks previous experience with the Environmental and Social Standards. B. Environment and Social Standards (ESSs) that Apply to the Activities Being Considered Sept 22, 2022 Page 8 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) B.1. General Assessment ESS1 Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts Overview of the relevance of the Standard for the Project: The Project will finance a series of subprojects that will be selected during the implementation stage. The locations of these subprojects will not be defined before the beginning of the implementation and their risks and impacts cannot be fully determined until subprojects’ details have been identified. In consequence, an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) is the adequate instrument to carry out the environmental and social assessment. The ESMF will set out the principles, rules, guidelines and procedures to assess the E&S risks and impacts of each site- specific activities. The initial assessment (based on the sectors in which the Project will intervene) point out that the Project is expected to have many positive impacts on the environment and rural society of the state of Piauí (and, particularly, for the poor, disadvantaged and vulnerable social groups – poor small family farmers, settlers of land reform settlements, quilombola and traditional communities). It will contribute to: increase land tenure security and earnings among this population and protect land rights of traditional communities; foster women’s productive inclusion and access to land rights; control and combat forest fires and enhance the quality of surface and groundwater in a territory ridden by cyclical droughts; and strengthen the institutional capacity of state agencies to carry out more efficiently their responsibilities. The Project estimates to benefit approximately 20,000 family farmers during implementation – i.e., 10% of the 197,246 family farms in the state. Given the large number of potential beneficiaries, the project will prioritize integrated interventions on land regularization, environmental protection and productive development in some specific territories. It will also prioritize the inclusion of the most vulnerable rural population – women and traditional Public Disclosure communities – and include tailored capacity building activities aimed at strengthening community and producers organizations. The ESMF will include an assessment of environmental and social risks and impacts that are potentially associated with the typology of subprojects, which have been identified in the risk sections. The assessment of social risks and benefits will incorporate both a vulnerability and a gender-sensitive lens and will seek to identify the obstacles that traditional communities, vulnerable social groups, women and youth specifically face to raise their concerns and participate in Project supported activities. This assessment and the ESMF will include relevant information on risks and impacts related to land use and resettlement that may be associated with the land regularization activities. Based on this Social Impact Assessment, the ESMF will propose measures to ensure that the Project (a) allows sufficient time for the consultation of the Project’s Resettlement Policy Framework amongst vulnerable groups, (b) avoids that adverse impacts disproportionately fall over disadvantaged and vulnerable social groups, (c) ensures these groups get an equitable share of its benefits and, consequently, (d) contributes to promote gender equality and social inclusion of the most vulnerable family farmers. The ESMF will also set general measures that shall be adopted throughout project implementation to avoid, minimize or mitigate the adverse environmental and social impacts of the Project as well as to increase their environmental and social benefits. These measures will be commensurate to the environmental and social risk levels associated to each typology of subproject and can be based on national legislation, when this one is aligned with the principles and requirements of each relevant Environmental and Social Standard. The ESMF will state that: (a) interventions that have potential adverse impacts in areas of critical habitats will not be implemented unless all conditions set in ESS 6 paragraph 24 are met; (b) voluntary land donations will not be acceptable unless there is evidence of compliance with the rules set in ESS 5 footnote 10; (c) child labor and forced Sept 22, 2022 Page 9 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) labor will never be admissible; and (d) only native or non-invasive species can be used for the recovery of degraded areas. An exclusion list of activities will be presented. The ESMF will include an assessment of the institutional capacity of all the implementing agencies to manage environmental and social risks and propose capacity building measures required to ensure environmental and social risk management measures that are consistent with the relevant ESSs throughout project implementation. The ESMF will set the rule that all Technical Assistance activities supported by the Project will: (i) take into consideration potential downstream effects on the environment and society; (ii) be carried out in accordance with terms of reference acceptable to the Bank, that are consistent with the ESSs; and (iii) ensure that their outputs comply with their terms of reference. Finally, the ESMF will include the template of an Environmental and Social Risk Assessment Form, which will be designed to evaluate in a commensurate manner the risks of each specific subproject as a pre-condition for the financing. A draft version of the ESMF will be prepared, consulted on with key stakeholders (including representative organizations of family farmers, women’s producer groups, traditional communities, land reform settlers and other relevant civil society organizations and state agencies working in the sectors/thematic areas of Project intervention) in a proportionate manner, and disclosed before Appraisal. The final version of the ESMF – considering the feedback received through the consultation process – will be disclosed in the Project’s dedicated website within 30 days after the date of Project effectiveness. Areas where “Use of Borrower Framework” is being considered: The use of Borrower Framework is not being considered in replacement of any of the Environmental and Social Standards. Public Disclosure ESS10 Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure Information disclosure and stakeholder engagement will be critical for the proper targeting of Project activities and to ensure that disadvantaged and vulnerable social groups actually get equitable access to its benefits. The Project’s main beneficiaries and key stakeholders will be: 15,000 families from state land reform settlements who do not have a land title and about 5,500 families belonging to 15 traditional communities who will have their customary land rights regularized (comprising, quilombola communities, self-identified indigenous peoples communities, peasants and other traditional communities); family farmers whose Productive Investment Plans will be competitively selected and supported in selected agricultural and non-agricultural production chains; the women’s rural producers groups in charge of Productive Backyards; and the poor family farmers that will benefit from the prevention and control of forest fires, the monitoring of water quality and the recovering of springs and watercourses in the mostly deprived regions of the state. The Borrower – particularly SAF and INTERPI – has experience engaging with social organizations, traditional communities, family farm, community-based and rural producers’ organizations in the development of land regularization and rural development programs partially acquired during the implementation of Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - P129342. PROGERE – the rural development program supported through several World Bank operations – has always followed a community-driven development approach and contributed to strengthen the institutional capacity of small/family farmers organizations for more than two decades. Furthermore, INTERPI has created a Department of Traditional Communities and the new state land regularization law has been drafted following broad consultation. This previous experience will be assessed during the preparation of the Project’s Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP). A few meetings with representative organizations of the beneficiary population Sept 22, 2022 Page 10 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) and civil society organizations have already been carried out to discuss the objectives and scope of Project activities and will continue to happen throughout Project preparation. The SEP will consider possible obstacles for consultation and participation of key stakeholder – especially disadvantaged and vulnerable social groups – in an adequate manner in all Project activities (land regularization, rural development and environmental management and regularization), paying particular attention to potential risks of exclusion in local contexts ridden by land conflicts and social tension. The SEP will propose mitigation measures to ensure consultation and participation of these social groups in a manner consistent with the principles of ESS 10 take place throughout project implementation. The SEP will propose a grievance mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of concerns and grievances of project-affected parties related to the environmental and social performance of the Project in a timely manner and in accordance with the requirements of this standard. The SEP will verify whether or not it is feasible and suitable for the Project to use the existing state grievance mechanism – namely: the General Ombudsman Office and its State Executive's Ombudsman Network that includes sectoral ombudsmen in SAF, INTERPI and SEMAR. The SEP will check if this network would be able to track, monitor and report on project-related grievances and (as feasible) propose measures to strengthen its institutional capacity and use as the Project in a manner consistent with the requirements of ESS 10.During the implementation of the P129342, the State General Ombudsman Office (OGE) served as its grievance mechanism and some shortcomings have been identified in terms of its capacity to screen and identify complaints directly related to project-supported activities within its system and, consequently, report on these to the Bank. These limitations did not imply the State General Ombudsman Office was unable to timely and properly facilitate the resolution of the grievances it received. On the contrary, its performance is satisfactory. Therefore, a better integration of the sectoral Ombudsman units with the Project is being structured during the current Public Disclosure preparation of this operation and of the Piauí Health and Social Protection Development Post-COVID-19 (P178567) so that the Ombudsman staff will be responsible for tagging the grievances at uptaking allowing the PMU and partnering implementing agencies to easily track and report them. The preparation of the SEP will require: a) the identification of different stakeholders, paying particular attention to disadvantaged or vulnerable groups that are more likely to be adversely affected by the project impacts, more limited than others in their ability to take advantage of Project benefits or more likely to be excluded from or unable to participate in the Project’s consultation processes; b) the assessment of: i) their special needs to get access to relevant information and to participate in the consultation process, ii) previous processes of engagement with key stakeholders on the relevant issues dealt with by the Project and iii) the existing channels available for receiving and facilitating the resolution of concerns and grievances, its adequacy and accessibility for the Project’s stakeholders; and c) the timely disclosure of relevant information and the adequate methodology for carrying out consultations on the draft SEP and other relevant E&S instruments (considering potential restrictions imposed during the electoral period). The draft SEP will be publicly consulted on and disclosed prior to Appraisal, including meetings with representative organizations of disadvantaged and vulnerable social groups (including quilombolas and traditional communities). B.2. Specific Risks and Impacts A brief description of the potential environmental and social risks and impacts relevant to the Project. ESS2 Labor and Working Conditions This standard is relevant. Sept 22, 2022 Page 11 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) Project implementation will rely on direct workers (including civil servants from the implementing agencies: SAF, INTERPI and SEMAR), contracted workers and community workers (which will provide labor as a contribution to foster community-driven development as envisaged under Components 2 and 3). The Borrower will prepare Labor Management Procedures (LMP). The LMP will: • Address aspects related with terms and conditions of employment, assuring that project workers directly engaged by the state government or through third-parties to work specifically in relation to the project and/or perform work related to core functions of the project (direct and contracted workers) will be hired based on principles of non-discrimination and equal opportunity, no-harassment, and freedom of association. • Define measures to prohibit the use of all forms of forced labor and child labor. It is worth to highlight that the Brazilian labor legislation strictly prohibits child and forced labor. • Set – in consultation with workers – measures to assure the adoption of occupational safety and health measures at the working places that are appropriate to address the potential risks associated with the tasks to be carried out by each category of workers. The LMP will address the potential OHS risks of the voluntary fire brigades, define the applicable health and safety measures and provide for adequate training on these OHS measures for these brigades. • State the need to establish a standalone grievance redressing mechanism to raise workplace concerns and define the features of this mechanism in line with the requirements of ESS 2 – this workers grievance mechanism may utilize existing grievance mechanisms (providing that they are properly designed and implemented, address concerns promptly, and are readily accessible to such project workers) and would be put in place within 30 days of Project effectiveness and operated thereafter. • Define a Code of Conduct for project workers including provisions related with the no acceptance of Public Disclosure discriminatory behavior, disrespect for distinct cultural values and traditions, sexual harassment and sexual abuse and exploitation in the workplaces as well as in the relationships between project workers and beneficiary community populations. • Set measures to ascertain that community workers will: a) only provide labor for activities aimed to foster community-driven development (as envisaged under Components 2 and 3) on a voluntary basis, as an outcome of individual or community agreement and under clearly identified terms and conditions (including amount and method of payment – if applicable – and times of work; b) have access to mechanisms for raising grievances in relation to the project; and c) receive training on occupational health and safety risks they may be exposed when performing work related with core functions of the project as well as adequate personal protection equipment. Civil servants performing works related to the core functions of the project will remain subject to the terms and conditions of their existing public sector employment agreement or arrangement (unless there has been an effective legal transfer of their employment or engagement to the project). The LMP will apply to all direct, contracted and community workers and will be included in all bidding documents prior to any procurement activities tendered out. Its provisions related with the protection of the work force and Occupational Health and Safety will also apply to all direct, contracted and community workers (as well as civil servants). A draft version of the LMP will be submitted to Bank’s review prior to Appraisal. The final version of the LMP (addressing the comments made by the Bank) would be submitted to Bank’s review and clearance within 30 days after project effectiveness. ESS3 Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management Sept 22, 2022 Page 12 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) This standard is relevant. This project is not expected to have the potential to constitute a significant source of emissions, on the contrary, the Project brings climate benefits, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the sustainable use of water resources. Component 2 will contribute to prevent and control forest fires as well as to avoid pollution of water resources. Component 3 will foster the adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices, including the use of solar panels and water reuse systems for supplying energy and water to productive gardens sowed by family farmers. Component 3 will also give preference to Integrated Pest Management or Integrated Vector Management approaches to pest management. Hence, it is not expected to involve significant pest management issues and, consequently, the Borrower would not be required to prepare a standalone Pest Management Plan (PMP). Nevertheless, beneficiary family farmers may be exposed to risks associated with the use of pesticides and the elements of a PMP – including guidance on the proper use, handling and storage of pesticides in compliance with the EHSGs and forbidding the use of pesticide products that contain active ingredients that are restricted under applicable international conventions and protocols, or that do not meet the criteria of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity or reproductive toxicity as set forth by relevant international agencies – will be incorporated as part of the Project’s ESMF. ESS4 Community Health and Safety This standard is relevant. The Project is neither expected to increase exposure of local communities to traffic and road safety risks, nor have direct impacts on ecosystem services that may result in adverse health and safety risks to and impacts on affected Public Disclosure communities. It is not expected to expose beneficiary communities to hazardous materials. Due to the nature and size of the supported activities, the Project is not expected to generate emergency events or to lead to risks ordinarily associated with the influx of laborers and followers, reducing the risk of community exposure to health issues. Finally, it will not need to retain direct or contracted workers to provide security to safeguard its personnel and property, which will be re-assessed during project preparation. Furthermore, project activities are not expected to increase risks ordinarily related with the influx of workers on rural communities – fraternization, or increased risk of communicable diseases and the pressure they put on local social and health services, or increased demand for goods, services and accommodation leading to pricing hikes, or increased risk of inappropriate and criminal behavior, sexual harassment/exploitation, and gender-based violence potentially leading to tension and conflict between local communities and construction workers. These risks are minimized because high volumes of labor influx is not anticipated – neither for the small construction works, nor for the demarcation works which ordinarily involve a crew of just five members (one topographer, one surveyor engineer, one field assistant, one social worker, and one driver), whereas laborers needed for trailblazing and other manual labor will be hired locally. Although it is not expected, the need to retain or not direct or contracted workers to provide security to safeguard Project’s personnel and property will be assessed as part of the preparation of the Project’s ESMF. Subcomponent 2.2 - Natural vegetation fire prevention, control, and management - will focus on the preparation of studies, implementation of programs and environmental inspections, and will provide training for forest fire prevention and control by voluntary brigades from rural settlements. Despite this, as part of the Project’s ESMF, the Borrower will prepare a simplified Risk Hazard Assessment (RHA), identifying and analyzing the potential risks associated with the forest fire control activities, defining the activities eligible for Project support, and determining the health and safety measures to be adopted in the fire prevention related activities. Sept 22, 2022 Page 13 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) Component 3 will prioritize the adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices and it is not expected to involve significant pest management issues that can expose communities to health issues. The Project will not support the design and construction of new dams, nor rely on the performance of existing dams or dams under construction. ESS5 Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement This standard is relevant. Activities envisaged under the Project are not expected to require significant land acquisition or restriction on land use leading to physical and economic displacement. These adverse impacts may only occur in the land regularization of traditional and quilombola territories where there is presence of occupants that do not identify as such. Furthermore, rural development/productive inclusion activities supported under Component 3 may require voluntary land donation. These impacts cannot be fully estimated during project preparation because of (a) the community-driven development nature of the activities that will be supported by Component 3 in response to Calls of Interest from rural communities and (b) the fact that any necessary taking of land to regularize quilombola territories (envisaged under Component 1) will only be known as the works of land delimitation are carried out during project implementation. Consequently, the Borrower will prepare a draft Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF), which in a manner consistent with the principles and requirements of ESS 5 will: a) Determine that Project activities that will cause physical and/or economic displacement will not commence Public Disclosure until RAPs specific to those sub-projects have been finalized and approved by the Bank. b) Include the findings of a social, legal and institutional assessment carried out – as required by ESS 1, para. 28(b), and ESS 5, para. 7 – to identify potential risks and impacts as well as appropriate design measures to minimize and mitigate adverse impacts of land titling (especially those that affect poor and vulnerable groups) and to ensure that existing legitimate land rights are not inadvertently compromised by Project activities. This assessment shall encompass the review of the regulatory framework ruling the resettlement of occupants on quilombola land, the potential socio-economic impacts (including on vulnerable occupants), and the risks of generating and/or exacerbating localized disputes and/or conflicts. The Term of Reference for this assessment shall be submitted to the Bank for prior review and no-objection. c) Define the principles and guidelines to mitigate unavoidable adverse social and economic impacts from land acquisition and restrictions on land use by: (i) providing timely compensation for loss of assets at replacement costs; (ii) assisting displaced persons in their efforts to improve or restore their livelihoods and living standards to pre- displacement levels; (iii) ensuring proper disclosure information, meaningful consultation, and the informed participation of the displaced persons during the planning and implementation of resettlement activities; (iv) ensuring that there will be no forced evictions; and (v) providing to them access to channels through which they can raise their concerns and grievances about the resettlement process without fear of reprisal and have their resolution facilitated. d) Set procedures to ascertain that land donations are provided in a voluntary basis, considering: (i) appropriate information and consultation of potential donors about the Project and the choices available to them – including that refusal of donation is an option; (ii) confirmation in writing of the potential donors’ willingness to proceed with the donation; (iii) confirmation that the amount of land being donated is minor and will not reduce the donors’ remaining land area below that required to maintain their livelihood at current levels; (iv) no household relocation is involved; Sept 22, 2022 Page 14 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) (v) the donors are expected to benefit directly from the project; (vi) for community or collective land, the individuals using or occupying the land have provided their consent to the donation; and (vii) the Borrower will maintain a transparent record of all consultations and agreements reached. The draft RPF will be consulted on and publicly disclosed no later than 90 days after Project’s effectiveness allowing sufficient time to carry out its consultation amongst vulnerable groups and incorporate their feedback. The final RPF version – incorporating the feedback of the consultation process – will be disclosed on within 120 days after Project’s effectiveness and prior to the beginning of any activities that may have adverse impacts related with land acquisition, restrictions on land use or involuntary resettlement. ESS6 Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources This standard is relevant. The Project supported activities, notably Subcomponent 1.3 (Land Tenure Regularization), Subcomponent 1.2 (Identification, demarcation and registration of State land) and Subcomponent 2.1 (Landholdings and community territories environmental regularization) may potentially affect biodiversity or habitats, either positively or negatively, directly or indirectly. Noting, however, that the Project aims to protect and conserve biodiversity and habitats, and the proposed land tenure related activities are expected to have an overall positive impact on the environment. The proposed land tenure regularization program includes the preparation of the rural environmental cadasters, CAR, complying with: (i) the Brazilian Forest Code (law 12.651 of 2012); (ii) Brazilian legislation on protected areas (SNUC - Law 9,985 of 2000, Decree 4,340 of 2002 and Decree 5,758 of 2006); and (iii) national, State, and local laws on Public Disclosure natural habitats. The CAR is an electronic system of geo-referenced identification of privately owned rural landholdings, delimiting Areas of Permanent Preservation (APPs) and Legal Reserves (RL) inside the landholdings, for the purposes of control and monitoring. The CAR is a potentially promising avenue to slow illegal deforestation on private properties. Registration in CAR Electronic System (SICAR) is required to obtain an environmental license for rural economic activity on the land, and for other official permits and authorizations issued by the environmental authorities. The implementation of environmental regularization of rural landholdings through the CAR enables a more effective supervision and monitoring of deforestation and degradation of natural vegetation. Furthermore, the widespread application of the CAR contributes to the better management of the remaining forest areas on private landholdings and to recover degraded RL and APPs in them. The alternative to the land tenure regularization is a "no action" scenario, with continuity of the current situation, favoring the continuous degradation of important Biomes, such as the deforestation of Cerrado areas. The Project is not expected to pose relevant risks to critical habitats, as the land tenure regularization will be implemented in line with the national environmental policies, which include provisions for identification and protection of critical habitats and threatened species. The identification of critical habitats is updated on a regular basis, in line with the Biological Diversity Convention, and the National Plan for Implementation of Policies for National Biodiversity (PAN-Bio), and the National Plan of Protected Areas. The Project will not support land tenure regularization of areas proposed for conservation and the ESMF will define specific procedures for land tenure regularization around existing conservations units. The Client has a positive track record in incorporating environmental aspects in its land tenure regularization program. The land regularization environmental procedures, developed by Interpi, CGEO and SEMAR, with support Sept 22, 2022 Page 15 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) from Project Piaui Pillars of Growth I, matches all legal requirements and includes consideration of ecological corridors, fragile ecosystems and areas with relevant biodiversity. The existing land regularization environmental procedures will be revised and upgraded in the ESMF, taking into consideration the ESS 6 requirements. ESS7 Indigenous Peoples/Sub-Saharan African Historically Underserved Traditional Local Communities This standard is not currently relevant. There are a few local communities in the state of Piauí – namely: a) the population of the urban nuclei of Itacoatira, Tucuns and Colher de Pau (Municipality of Piripiri), whose inhabitants self-identify as the Tabajara People; b) the population of the rural communities of Canto da Várzea and Oiticica (Piripiri), who self-identify as the Tabajara Ipy People; c)the population of Aldeia Nazaré (Lagoa do São Francisco), who self-identify as the Tabajara Tapuio People; d) the population of Aldeia Serra Grande (Queimada Nova), who self-identify as the Cariri de Serra Grande People; and e) the population of the rural communities of Barra do Correntina (Bom Jesus), Morro d’Água (Baixa Grande do Ribeiro), Pirajá and Laranjeira (Currais), Sete Lagoas and Vão do Vico (Santa Filomena), who self-identify as the Gamela People – that in recent years started a process of self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous social and cultural group and are recognized by the State Government as such (based only on the criterium of self- identification). At least some of these communities are expected to benefit from Project activities dealing with land and environmental regularization activities as well as productive inclusion. Nevertheless, there is no evidence that these groups cumulatively possess the characteristics of: (a) collective Public Disclosure attachment to geographically distinct habitats, ancestral territories, or areas of seasonal use or occupational or to the natural resources in these areas; and (b) customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are distinct or separate from those of the mainstream society or culture; and (c) a distinct language or dialect different from the official language. There is also no evidence (so far) that (d) the members of these groups have lost collective attachment to distinct habitats or ancestral territories during their lifetime or (e) have established distinct communities in or near urban areas but still possess the characteristics mentioned in (a), (b) and (c) above. The assessment of potential environmental and social risks and impacts associated with project activities as part of the Project ESMF – to be elaborated during project preparation – will pay special attention to distributive impacts over disadvantaged and vulnerable social groups (including these communities that self-identify as Indigenous Peoples). It will also propose measures to avoid or reduce adverse impacts as well as to ensure their equitable access to project benefits. Concomitantly, the SEP will define measures to ensure the appropriate engagement with these disadvantaged and vulnerable communities that self-identify as Indigenous Peoples. ESS8 Cultural Heritage This standard is relevant. Piauí has more than 1,800 archeological sites registered by Iphan (the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage), among them the Poti River Fossil Forest, located in the municipality of Teresina and listed as a paleontological site in 2003. In the southeast region of the state, there is the Serra da Capivara National Park, protected by Iphan, in 1993, and declared a World Cultural Heritage Site by Unesco, in 1991 and the archeological site Toca do Salitre - located in an area near Povoado Serra Nova (municipality of São Raimundo Nonato) – known for the large number of cave paintings in the rock shelter. Another important archaeological site is the Sete Cidades Sept 22, 2022 Page 16 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) National Park, created in 1961 and located in the municipality of Piracuruca, where dozens of sites with traces of prehistoric Latin America have been registered by Iphan. As the location of some of the subprojects that will be supported by the Project will not be fully defined during preparation, there is a risk that some beneficiary communities can be located in the vicinities of recognized cultural heritage sites or legally protected cultural heritage areas. To address this risk and as part of the Project’s ESMF, the Borrower will: (a) identify (through research and consultation with cultural heritage experts) the legal protected cultural heritage areas, the known archeological sites and natural features with cultural significance located in the state and (b) define measures to avoid impacts on these cultural heritages and, when avoidance of impacts is not possible, measures to mitigate such impacts based on local, national, regional and international cultural heritage regulations and globally recognized practices. The ESMF will include specific procedures for land tenure regularization in the areas surrounding recognized cultural heritage sites regardless of whether or not they have been legally protected or previously identified or disturbed. Project supported activities are not expected to involve excavations, demolition, movement of earth, flooding or other changes in the physical environment and, therefore, a chance finds procedure is not deemed necessary.

Is a common approach being considered? No Financing Partners There will be no financing partners. B. Proposed Measures, Actions and Timing (Borrower’s commitments) Actions to be completed prior to Bank Board Approval: During Project preparation the Borrower will prepare: • A draft Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF); • A draft Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP); • A draft Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF); and • Draft Labor Management Procedures (LMP). The ESMF and the SEP will be publicly consulted before Appraisal. Sept 22, 2022 Page 17 of 19 The World Bank Piauí Pillars of Growth and Social Inclusion Project - Phase 2 (P177474) The Borrower will also propose and agree with the Bank on the Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP). The ESCP will be publicly disclosed before Appraisal. Possible issues to be addressed in the Borrower Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP): • Staffing of the Project Management Unit (environmental and social risk management specialists needed); • Institutional capacity building trainings needed to enhance the environmental and social risk management systems of the implementing agencies; • Disclosure and adoption of the final SEP and ESMF – incorporating the outcomes from the public consultations carried out before Appraisal – within 30 days of Project’s effectiveness; • Disclosure and consultation of the RPF within 120 days of Project’s effectiveness and, thereafter, adoption of the RPF as reference for the preparation of specific Resettlement Action Plans as needed. • Timeline and institutional arrangements for the preparation, the consultation and the disclosure of other and more specific environmental and social risk management instruments (e.g., ESMPs, RAPs, LMP); • Environmental and social risks monitoring and reporting arrangements.
