Environmental and Social Management Framework
(ESMF)
The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to strengthen and expand the electricity network and
enable renewable energy generation in Ethiopia.
PRIME-1 will cover a range of activities to meet the development objectives, while preparing for
subsequent phases of the PRIME program and pursing sector reforms and financial performance
improvement. The Project will rehabilitate the distribution network in existing grid-connected areas
across 72 key towns.
First Power Sector Reform Investment and Modernization in
Ethiopia (PRIME-1) Project (P176731) as Part of a Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Resettlement Policy Framework (RF)
The PRIME-1 and its ancillary facilities will require land acquisition, and induce restrictions on land use with temporary and/or permanent economic and physical displacement of people living in or near the proposed Project implementation target areas. The project may further result in loss of agricultural land and grazing land, loss of livelihood due to impacts on sources of earning (including wage-based on enterprise-based income), impact on natural drainage leading to land use change, or impacts on access to services or other access issues in urban areas too.
POWER SECTOR REFORM, INVESTMENT AND MODERNIZATION IN
ETHIOPIA (PRIME-1) (P176731)SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (DRAFT)
The main objective of the SRA is to identify, analyze, and rate the potential security threats to the project
workers, sites, assets, and activities as well as to project-affected communities that can arise from the
project activities, equipment, and physical infrastructure investments.
Power Sector Reform, Investment and Modernization in Ethiopia (PRIME-1) Project (P176731) Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP)
The PRIME Program as a Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) is structured in four phases: PRIME-1, an Investment Project Financing (IPF) operation with Performance-Based Conditions (PBCs) will prioritize critical infrastructure investments and set the stage for structural and operationalreforms at the energy sector.
