The Project has been classified as Category B+ in terms of environmental and social (E&S) impacts and risks. Adverse E&S impacts are limited and effective mitigation measures in line with international standards are available. The main E&S impacts and risks relate to construction activities and occupational and community health and safety. IFC Performance Standards (PS) 1-4 are applicable to the Project. IFC PS5 is considered partially applicable as a small poultry farm encroaching onto the solar PV site is being relocated. The Project does not pose any risk to sensitive biodiversity (IFC PS6) or Indigenous Peoples (IFC PS7), and IFC PS8 (cultural heritage) is not triggered beyond the standard ‘chance finds’ procedure requirement. An ESIA (including an ESMP) has been prepared for the solar PV plant and grid network upgrades. A community development programme is being implemented by Konexa, which has included the installation of a solar mini-grid to serve two rural villages, and an associated livelihoods improvement training and support programme.
