Social and Environmental Safeguards. The Social and Environmental Screening Procedure (SESP) was followed during project preparation, as required by the SESP Guidance Note of the UNDP. Key risks identified in the SESP were presented to and discussed with project stakeholders at the project Validation Workshop held in October 2018; inputs from those discussions were incorporated into a revised SESP. The social and environmental sustainability of project activities is in compliance with the SESP for the project, including detailed proposals for the mitigation of risks identified in the SESP (see Annex F. UNDP Social and Environmental and Social Screening Template). The SESP identified Moderate social and environmental risk for this project (see details in the Annex G) that could have potential negative impacts in the absence of safeguards in project management. To avoid any potential risks or any likely impacts, the project will develop a Livelihoods Action Plan for fishermen under Output 1.2.1 to guide the project actions to mitigate the risks associated with more effective enforcement of existing fishing regulations with Marine National Parks. There are no indigenous people in the Seychelles, therefore the project will not affect their rights and livelihoods in any way. The project staff and partners will ensure social and environmental screening of all proposed investments to determine if there are any negative impacts. If the impacts are considered significant or cannot be managed by simple and practical mitigation measures that can be implemented within the capacity of the communities and other stakeholders, these activities will be avoided. The Project Board will monitor social and environmental risk for the project activities on an annual basis. Annual supervisory review by the PMU will assess the extent to which the risks have been identified and managed. Environmental and social grievances will be reported to the GEF in the annual PIR; the National Project Manager (NPM) will have responsibility for safeguards oversight and management of the project grievance mechanism. Overall, the project is expected to result in positive impacts for biodiversity conservation, sustainable land management socio-economic conditions through the greater participation of local communities and improved management with regard to upland forests, agricultural lands, aquatic ecosystems, and coastal and marine ecosystems. Additional proposed measures for risk mitigation are included in the Project Risks and Miti...
