Horizon Developments has established social and environmental baseline conditions of the proposed site, evaluated the existing and the anticipated impacts together with mitigation measures to enhance the positive impacts as well as reduce the un-avoidable negative impacts.
Based on the baseline information, we identified potential environmental and social impacts of proposed project; both positive and negative, assessed the significance of these impacts to the world bank safeguard policies, environment and other stakeholders, assessed the relative importance of the impacts of alternative plans to the proposed project, proposed mitigation measures for the significant negative impacts of the proposed project on the environment and all involved stakeholders, proposed measures that will enhance the positive impacts of the proposed project to the world bank safeguard policies, environment and other stakeholders, evaluated the available project designs and location alternatives to allow for presentation information on the impact of alternatives and developed an environmental and social management plan

Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the transmission lines which involved the identification and assessment/evaluation of environmental and social risks associated with the proposed transmission lines, preparation of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Reports and eventual submission to NEMA for consideration. This process also helped identify the mitigation measures that were necessary to avoid, control or reduce any environmental and social risks that are identified.
The team reviewed compliance with all necessary national and IFC statutory requirements with regards to environmental and social performance while identifying any inherent impacts / risks associated to the projects to provide support in decision making with regards to ‘go’ or ‘no go’ options.

Feasibility studies that entailed the determining the economic viability, systematic identification and assessment/evaluation of environmental and social risks associated with the proposed project. The various studies were aimed at identifying the feasibility of the project, providing the least cost and viable options, providing mitigation measures that were necessary to reduce any environmental and social risks that are identified.

Environmental and Social Scoping involved the systematic identification and assessment/evaluation of environmental and social risks associated with the proposed project. This scoping exercise helped identify the mitigation measures that were necessary to reduce any environmental and social risks that are identified. The team reviewed compliance with all applicable National and Donor statutory requirements with regards to environmental and social performance while identifying any inherent risks associated to the project to provide support in decision making with regards to ‘go’ or ‘no go’ options.

We have developed an ESMF that set out the principles, rules, guidelines and procedures to screen, assess, manage and monitor the mitigation measures to address identified environmental and social impacts for each component.
The assessments are proportionate to the potential risks and impacts of the activities, and will assess, in an integrated way, all relevant direct, indirect and cumulative environmental and social risks and impacts throughout the project life cycle, including those specifically identified in Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs) 1–10 of the ESF.
Country: Somalia
The LMP has been developed to identify and manage risks associated with labor and working conditions under the Somalia Electricity Sector Recovery Project (SESRP). It identified labor requirements in line with applicable laws, standards and sets out the procedures for addressing labor conditions and risks associated with the SESRP in line with the World Bank Environmental and Social Standard 2 (ESS2).
An overview of labour use and characterization on the project has been provided. The LMP has assessed
the potential labour risks associated with the project based on type of work and workers and documented
appropriate mitigation measures.
Country: Somalia
The purpose of the resettlement policy framework was to clarify resettlement principles, organizational arrangements, and design criteria to be applied to subprojects or project components to be prepared during project implementation (see ESS5, paragraph 25). The objective of the RPF was to ensure that the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) get compensation for their loss, are offered resettlement measures, and are supported in improving or at least restoring their levels of living and income after the project impact to pre-project levels.
This RPF was intended to safeguard the interests of the population impacted by the project activities, especially the poor and vulnerable. The RPF is based on applicable Policies of Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), Federal States and the World Bank.
