Please note that this information also needs to be entered in the PAAS workflow in the Project Portal. However, as the portal only accepts one option to be selected, please see the portal entry guidance provided in italic in some of the boxes below about which option supersedes others.\nJustification and approval of deferral of ESMS Screening\nIn exceptional cases the ESMS Screening can be deferred (e.g. RfP with low probability of funding) – to be discussed with the ESMS Coordinator(Focal Point. A key requirement is that the project budget is sufficiently flexible to allow that potential risk management measure can be added at a later stage after completing the Screening. In such case the below fields are completed.\nStep 1a: Decision on the need of a formal ESMS Screening versus Self-Assessment\nThe fields below are completed by the project proponent - tick one of the three options\nStep 1b: Completing the ESMS Questionnaire (enclosed as Annex)\nThe fields below are completed by the project proponent. Area-based projects require completing the ESMS Questionnaire attached as Annex 1. For non-area-based projects with law enforcement activities only the Security and Human Rights Risk Questionnaire is needed (available at \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.iucn.org/esms\" \u0014www.iucn.org/esms\u0015), but not the ESMS Questionnaire.\nStep 2: Formal ESMS Screening\nTo be completed by the IUCN ESMS reviewer(s); only needed when the options 1 or 2 above (marked in red) are ticked\nThe below Screening Report is completed by the IUCN ESMS reviewer(s) after having gone through the ESMS Questionnaire. It summarizes the main findings of the ESMS Screening and represents a consensus between ESMS reviewers.\n\u000f\nGuidance for rating environmental and social risks\nThe rating of risks is based on the assumptions that the management measures and plans specified in the respective column are implemented and effective in mitigating the risk. It is good practice that the plans are available before ESMS Clearance. Risk rating is based on the two elements: likelihood and the expected impacts (consequence).\nLikelihood represents the possibility that a given risk event is expected to occur. The likelihood should be established using the following five ratings:\nVery unlikely to occur (1)\nLow likelihood  (2)\nModerately likely – could occur (3)\nKnown to occur - almost certain (4)\nCommon occurrence (5)\nImpact (or consequence) refers to the extent to which a risk event might negatively affect environmental or social receptors – see below criteria distinguishing five levels of impacts:\nTable 1: Rating impact of a risk area\nSignificance of a risk area is established by combining likelihood and expected impact (consequence) of a risk event as demonstrated in the table 2. The significance rating signals how much attention the risk area will require during project development and implementation and the extent of control actions to be put in place. See the Guidance Note on Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks for further details on the rating (including factors influencing the likelihood and impact).\nTable 2: Rating significance of a risk area\n\u000f\nStep 3: ESMS Clearance of Project Proposal\nThe purpose of the ESMS Clearance stage is to confirm the risk classification that has been established by the formal ESMS Screening and to review and approve the risk assessments and safeguard tools developed. It is completed at the end of project development prior to approval of the project. The fields below are completed by the IUCN ESMS reviewer.\n\u000f\nAnnex 1:  ESMS Questionnaire – to be completed as a preparation for the Formal ESMS Screening or the ESMS Self-As","cbCaiaeSp8VLnDKY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaeSp8VLnDKY","docx",937224,26,"English","# Establishing the need for ESMS Screening (ESMS applicability)\n# Justification and approval of deferral of ESMS Screening\n## Step 1a: Decision on formal ESMS Screening versus Self-Assessment\n## Step 1b: Completing the ESMS Questionnaire (Annex)\n## Step 2: Formal ESMS Screening\n# Guidance for rating environmental and social risks\n## Rating likelihood\n## Rating impact (consequence) and significance\n# Step 3: ESMS Clearance of Project Proposal\n# Annex 1: ESMS Questionnaire","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the ESMS applicability fields in the Project Data section?\",\"answer\":\"They classify the project type to decide whether ESMS screening is needed, and the information must also be entered in the PAAS workflow in the Project Portal.\"},{\"question\":\"When can ESMS Screening be deferred, and what must be ensured?\",\"answer\":\"In exceptional cases, screening can be deferred (e.g., very low probability of funding).
