Tebtebba (Indigenous Peoples’ International Centre for Policy Research and Education) will implement the Asia-Pacific FCPF Capacity Building Project on REDD+ (for Indigenous Peoples) (the Project). The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (hereinafter, the Bank) has agreed to provide financing for the Project.
2. Tebtebba will implement material measures and actions so that the Project is implemented in accordance with the Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs).

5. Implementation of the material measures and actions set out in this ESCP will be monitored and reported to the Bank by Tebtebba as required by the ESCP and the conditions of the legal agreement, and the Bank will monitor and assess progress and completion of the material measures and actions throughout implementation of the Project.
6. As agreed by the Bank and Tebtebba, this ESCP may be revised from time to time during Project implementation, to reflect adaptive management of Project changes and unforeseen circumstances or in response to assessment of Project performance conducted under the ESCP itself. In such circumstances, Tebtebba will agree to the changes with the Bank and will update the ESCP to reflect such changes. Agreement on changes to the ESCP will be documented through the exchange of letters signed between the Bank and Tebtebba. Tebtebba will promptly disclose the updated ESCP.
7. Where Project changes, unforeseen circumstances, or Project performance result in changes to the risks and impacts during Project implementation, Tebtebba shall provide additional funds, if needed, to implement actions and measures to address such risks and impacts.
