Client: Reconstruction Fund for Areas Affected by Terroristic Operations (REFAATO) – World Bank
Project Description: The Government of Iraq (GoI) is leading reconstruction efforts in areas previously occupied by ISIS. Accordingly, the IBRD provided a loan towards the EODP, with the principal objective of supporting the country in its reconstruction of damaged infrastructure and restoration of public services delivery in the liberated municipal areas.
Under this framework and in compliance with World Bank Safeguard Policies and Iraqi legislations, EcoConServ prepared the appropriate E&S safeguard instruments, i.e. Environmental & Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), Environmental & Social Management Plans (ESMP), Checklist ESMPs, Pest Management Plans (PMP) and Medical Waste Management Plan (MWMP) for a total number of 100 projects in the following areas: Electricity Infrastructure and Connectivity, Municipal Waste, Water and Sanitation Services, Transport Infrastructure, Health Services, Agriculture Productivity, Water control infrastructure and irrigation schemes, Education Services, Municipal Infrastructure and Services and Preserving Cultural Heritage Assets.
The safeguards instruments are to identify the potential environmental and social impacts, including land acquisition and socio-economic impacts, and labor influx issues, define the necessary mitigation measures and develop practical and effective environmental and social management and monitoring plans during rehabilitation and operation phases.
In addition, EcoConServ provided trainings to the Project Management Team (PMT) on the Implementation and Monitoring of site-specific Construction ESMPs

Client: Informal Settlements Development Fund (ISDF), funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB)
Project Description: The Youth Development and Informal Settlements Upgrading Program seeks to support an integrated approach to slum elimination and informal settlement upgrading, thereby addressing the wider systemic issues of job creation, entrepreneurship, and access to basic services, amongst other factors. The program contributes directly to ensuring social inclusion, reducing inequalities, and promoting the quality of life of urban slum dwellers, an outcome consistent with the AfDB’s ‘High Fives’ of improving the quality of life for the people of Africa.
Particular attention is being paid to youth unemployment, which is higher in slum areas than any other parts of Egyptian cities.
EcoConServ has been contracted to prepare a study to provide support for the assessment of the aggregate and cumulative environmental, health and safety, and social impacts of the proposed social activities and infrastructure upgrades to informal settlements and marketplaces in Cairo, Port Said, and Sharkeya. It intended to provide authorities, project developers, and IFIs with enough information on the site, potential impacts of the program and mitigation measures to be able to address any adverse risks and maximize on environmental and social opportunities.
As such, EcoConServ prepared a Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) of potential impacts of the program, proposed mitigation measures and an Environmental and Social Management & Monitoring Plan (ESMMoP).

Project Description: As part of their Corporate Social Responsibility activities, Total E7P Egypt cooperated with the NGO Misr El Kheir to provide a medical convoy to treat virus Hepatitis C.

Client: QNB, ERM, EBRD
Project Description: The objective of the assignment is to provide advice, guidance and training to QNB ALAHLI on the EBRD’s environmental and social risk management procedures and guidelines for FIs. The training presented the supporting tools available to help manage the environmental and social issues associated with the FIs’ lending/ investment operations.
Moreover, an EHS Regulatory Register for QNB was developed, covering environmental, health, safety and social legislation (mainly labor relations) applicable to QNB activities in Egypt. It also includes references to EU Directives and Regulations, World Bank ES criteria and EBRD Performance Requirements. 

Client: French Development Agency (AFD)
Project Description: The World Bank, the French Development Agency (AFD) and the European Union (EU) are jointly providing financing to support the implementation of this program.

Town Gas and Egypt Gas are the local distribution companies responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of the distribution networks under concession agreements. They are also in charge of the customer relationship management.
