Draw on SESA results on the gap assessment and the recommendations to address legal, regulatory, institutional and capacity building gaps for management of environmental and social priorities and environmental and social risks and impacts. Analyze gender concerns: Assessment of key gender based risks and potential benefits, and opportunities of REDD-plus strategy options, implementation framework, etc. consistent with World Bank Gender and Development Operational Policy (OP 4.20) or comparable Delivery Partner gender policies. The assessment of risks and potential benefits, and opportunities during preparation of the REDD-plus strategy will be integrated into the preparation of the REDD-plus strategy itself. Explain how the ESMF is structured to help ensure compliance with the relevant safeguard policies during the implementation of the projects, activities, and/or policies and regulations that are included in the Readiness Package. If you are a UN-REDD country, UN-REDD country’s Programme guidelines may be provided separately, see Overarching Guideline 3. Adapt as much of the preparation of the ESMF to the FCPF existing institutions and country’s procedures for environmental and social management in order to help build capacity to address gaps affecting effective environmental and social management of REDD-plus strategy implementation. Disclose the ESMF or advanced draft ESMF prior to submission of the R-Package. Establish a realistic and credible monitoring and reporting system involving to the extent possible civil society and potentially affected parties. Please provide the following information: Discuss the approach to be followed for ensuring compliance with the relevant safeguard policies and how the ESMF will draw on other components of the R-PP as needed; If work on the REDD-plus strategy has advanced to the point where draft input to ToR for the ESMF can be provided, please do so briefly below (guidelines for preparation of ToRs are available in Annex C). Present the relevant equivalent if a non-FCPF UN-REDD Programme Country. Since all details will not be available at the R-PP formulation stage, it is understood that the draft input to ESMF will need to be revised during the preparation phase;
