Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP)

The EMMP must be completed by each organization carrying out activities under the USAlD/Afghanistan XXX Program. It will include the organization's own report plus the EMMPs of any sub-awardees, to capture the entire range of activities funded by the USAID/ Afghanistan XXXX Program under the award. The USAID/Afghanistan XXXX Program, implementing partners are responsible for ensuring that each sub-awardee completes and submits the EMMP to the prime in a timely fashion. The EMMPs are reviewed and approved by the COR/AOR and the Mission Environmental Officer.

The EMMP consists of 3 parts:

l. The Environmental Verification Form

2. The Mitigation Plan for specific environmental threats carried out by the implementer

3. The Reporting Form

The EMMP Environmental Verification Form This form indicates the categories of activities carried out by implementing partners (or their sub awardees) and serves to 'trigger' USAID expectations of mitigation measures.

The EMMP Mitigation Plan Implementing pa1tners will use the Mitigation Plan to describe the specific actions they will unde1take under each category of activity when screening reveals potential environmental threats as outlined in Section 3 of this IEE. In these cases, mitigation will be undertaken as described in Section 5, Table 4 of this JEE. The Mitigation Plan also identifies the person responsible for monitoring compliance with mitigation and the indicator, method and frequency of monitoring.

The EMMP Reporting Form This form reports on the results of applying the mitigation measures described in the Mitigation Plan and identifies outstanding issues with respect to required conditions. In some cases, digital photos will be the best way to document mitigation and should be included in the report.
