Q.The Guidelines paragraph VI. (2) states, "Of the documents other than the ESIA reports, etc. obtained by NEXI from the Applicants for confirming environmental and social considerations." What kinds of documents does this refer to?

A.

As applicable documents, there are documents with a variety of names, contents and formats, depending on the characteristics of each project. For example, such documents could include but not limited to, environmental management plans, resettlement action plans (including livelihood restoration plans if necessary) for projects in which large-scale involuntary resettlement or large-scale loss of means of livelihood is expected, and indigenous peoples plans (in projects which have an effect on indigenous peoples). In the event that translations of such documents, including the ESIA report etc., are obtained from the Applicants, these are also applicable.
