serves as a guiding document to address the social and

environmental issues that emerges during execution of

developing schemes undertaken by CDGs and WASAs of five

cities i.e. Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Multan and

Faisalabad; covering planning and design, construction and

rehabilitation, operation and maintenance, decommissioning and

closure phases.

The ESMF conforms to the national regulatory and WB safeguard policy

frameworks.

Objectives of ESMF

• Ensure that schemes to be designed and implemented by the

Government are environmentally sound and socially acceptable

• Ensure that all the schemes comply with the national regulatory and

WB policy frameworks

• Internalize and integrate the environmental and social management

procedures and processes in the routine projects/service delivery of

CDG’s and city entities
