The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for the Nepal Mini-grid Project details the process for managing environmental and social (E&S) risks, adhering to both Nepalese regulations and World Bank policies. The framework covers key components such as subproject selection, E&S risk assessment, stakeholder roles (including AEPC, partner banks, and ESCOs), and monitoring, with the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) and Vulnerable Community Development Framework (VCDF) addressing social risks.
