E&S Risks assessment. The direct environmental and social impacts of the program will be limited since the PPL does not aim to finance investments. However, the Adaptation Program could lead to environmental and social risks over time. This is why the programme’s matrix integrate the need for elaborating a Strategic Environmental and Social assessment of the Adaptation Program. The draft low-carbon development strategy has identified the main environmental and economics impacts of its action plan through its Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment (draft from January 2020). Until its adoption, these elements will be updated, with the support of the EU and UNDP. The capacity building plan for the main ministries involved in the implementation of the climate roadmap will integrate aspects of capacity building at the environmental and social levels. The program will also focus on better taking into account environmental and social issues in the urban sustainable development strategy. Thus, at the level of the pilot cities, the environmental and social risks linked to the proposed adaptation measures will be assessed. The capacities of local communities to identify these risks and mitigate them will also be strengthened.
