The table below summarizes the material measures and actions that are required as well as the timing of these material measures and actions. The DPWH is responsible for compliance with all requirements of the ESCP even when implementation of specific measures and actions is conducted by other participating agencies. 5. Implementation of the material measures and actions set out in this ESCP will be monitored and reported to the Bank by the DPWH, as required by the ESCP and the conditions of the legal agreement, and the Bank will monitor and assess progress and completion of the material measures and actions throughout implementation of the Project. 6. As agreed by the Bank and the Government of the Philippines, this ESCP may be revised from time to time during Project implementation, to reflect adaptive management of Project changes and unforeseen circumstances or in response to assessment of Project performance conducted under the ESCP itself. In such circumstances, DPWH will agree to the changes with the Bank and will update the ESCP to reflect such changes. Agreement on changes to the ESCP will be documented through the exchange of letters signed between the Bank the DPWH, and the Department of Finance. The DPWH will promptly disclose the updated ESCP. Depending on the project, the ESCP may also specify the funding necessary for completion of a measure or action. 2|Page THE WORLD BANK ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP): October 2020 PHILIPPINES: Seismic Risk Reduction and Resilience Project (P171419) ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN DATE: October 2020 Summary of the Material Measures and Actions to Mitigate the Timeframe Responsibility / Date of Completion Project’s Potential Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts Authority and Resources/Funding Committed ESCP Monitoring and Reporting REGULAR REPORTING: Prepare and submit regular monitoring Throughout the DPWH-Earthquake Upon project completion reports on the implementation of the ESCP. project Resiliency Program (mm/dd/yy) implementation Management Office (Semi-annual (ER-PMO), DPWH-PIU Reporting) and Project Contractor INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS NOTIFICATION: Prepare and submit Throughout the DPWH-ER-PMO Upon project completion incident or accident notifications/reports from project activities project DPWH-PIU and Project (mm/dd/yy) which have significant adverse effect on environment, implementation Contractor communities, the public or workers.
