About this file

This document contains an Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) template for a USAID activity in Zambia titled "Maintained Epidemic Control of HIV (MECH) Activity." The EMMP template outlines mitigation measures, monitoring indicators, monitoring frequency, and responsible parties to reduce potential negative environmental impacts of the activity in Luapula, Northern and Muchinga provinces. It also requires an annual Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Report summarizing mitigation effectiveness, issues encountered, resolutions, and lessons learned. The related federal contract opportunity provides additional details on the MECH activity, which aims to achieve 95/95/95 HIV treatment coverage targets and strengthen public financial management systems through a government-to-government agreement with provinces in Zambia to control the HIV epidemic.

PURPOSE

Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plans (EMMPs) are required for USAID-funded projects, as specified in ADS 204, when the 22 CFR 216 documentation governing the project (e.g. the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE)) specifies mitigation measures are needed. EMMPs are in important tool for translating applicable IEE conditions and mitigation measures into specific, implementable, and verifiable actions.

An EMMP should clearly defines:

1. Mitigation measures. Actions that reduce or eliminate potential negative environmental impacts resulting directly or indirectly from a particular project or activity, including environmental limiting factors that constrain development.

2. Monitoring indicators.[footnoteRef:2] Criteria that demonstrate whether mitigation measures are suitable and implemented effectively. [2: Note: Monitoring indicators differ from performance indicators, which are the measures that USAID uses to detect progress towards the results included in a Results Framework.]

3. Monitoring/reporting frequency. Timeframes for appropriately monitoring the effectiveness of each specific action.

4. Responsible parties. Appropriate, knowledgeable positions assigned to each specific action.

5. Field Monitoring/Issues. Field monitoring needs to be adequately addressed i.e. monitoring dates, observations, issues identified and resolution. This field is primarily for documentation during implementation.

An EMMP is a living document. It should be reviewed against the IEE and updated/tailored as needed over the life of implementation, e.g. when new sites are identified or changes in scope are made through award modifications and IEE Amendments.

· 1.0 PROJECT/ACTIVITY SUMMARY

· 2.0 SITE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

· 3.0 ANNUAL REPORTING

Annually, the Implementing Partner will prepare an Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Report (EMMR) to be submitted to the Activity Manager/AOR/COR and the USAID Environmental Compliance Database. This report will summarize the effectiveness of mitigation measures, issues encountered, resolutions, and lessons learned. As appropriate, attachments such as site photos, verification of local inspections, product warranties, etc should also be included.
