of the agriculture sector in the Southwest of
the Buenos Aires Province that suffers from man-made and
increasingly climate change induced desertification
processes. Participatory planning processes will be used to
identify and pilot concrete adaptation measures focusing on
water, crops and livestock management to promote climate
resilience, and degraded agroecosystems will be enhanced
through sustainable land management measures. The primary
Project beneficiaries will be farmer associations and
families in the counties of Pu, Villarino and Patagones. The
four aspects which define the selection of the project area
were developed by the Department of Environment and
Sustainable Development of the Nation (SAyDS) and are the
following: a) significant occurrence of negative impacts of
climate change, b) size - significant impact on the
country's sustainable development, being a strategic
area of agricultural production, c) there is a combination
of the three main impacts (flooding, drought,
desertification), d) significant impact on the local
population. Although no involuntary resettlement is planned
under any of the components, activities under component 2
could trigger the policy. In compliance with the policy, in
order to avoid, minimize or compensate for any adverse
impacts in this regard, the Resettlement Policy Framework
will be developed to ensure proper consideration before and
during execution of pilot interventions. This Resettlement
Framework covers the social and economic direct result of
the projects that are caused by: a) the involuntary
deprivation of land, resulting in i) relocation or loss of
housing ii) loss of assets or access to assets, or iii) loss
of income sources or means of subsistence b) the involuntary
restriction of access to areas designated by law as parks or
protected, with consequent adverse effects on the
livelihoods of people displaced. Mostrar menos -

l of contributing to the improvement
of agricultural competitiveness, especially in the regional
economies. The project will focus on areas with larger
concentrations of small and medium-size producers that have
the potential to fully participate in modern, competitive,
agribusiness systems. There are several potential negative
impacts to be considered in this project: 1) irrigation and
drainage systems - problems of saline soils and with the
possibility of flooding, water pollution and air with salts
and chemicals affect the health and safety of rural workers
and producers; 2) the use of agrochemicals for the
eradication and control of pests has a negative impact and
is a source for potential contamination of water drained
from the fields of production to natural channels; 3)
infrastructure of roads and rural electrification - the
potential negative environmental and social impacts for
these projects tend to be associated with the health and
safety of workers, as well as alterations in the habitat of
wildlife; 4) obstruction of the canals and drainage
collectors with sediment, vegetation and aquatic weeds; 5)
Reduction flow of the river downstream of the irrigation
system, affecting its ecology and its use (aquatic life,
recreation, dilution of effluent, etc.); and 6) introduction
or higher incidence of water-borne diseases or water-related
disease and problems caused by irrigation with sewage for irrigation. Mostrar menos -

are the following:(i) Propose an instrument that identifies
in a speedy manner, the legal and institutional issues most
relevant to be taken into account to comply with the laws
and procedures to comply with them; (ii) Define procedures
for socio-environmental management in the different phases
of the project cycle; (iii) To present a methodology for
fast and easy categorizing a project as a function of
socio-environmental risk, with a view to proposing for each
level of risk environmental or social studies required to
comply with relevant environmental legislation; iv)
Identifying the procedures required to comply with the
demands of environmental authorities, and the current
regulations; (vi) To identify those responsible for the
environmental and social management and its role in every
stage of the project. There are several activities related
to the execution of the project that can generate potential
socio-environmental risks. It should be noted that the
socio-environmental impacts foreseen in the program are
mainly temporary, appearing primarily during the execution
of the works. Potential environmental and social impacts
include: Air pollution; contamination by solid wastes. Among
the pollutants that are produced at the stage of execution
of the works are waste material and waste products of
machinery such as filters, spare used parts; tires, deposits
of oil, garbage, etc.; noise impact and/or vibrations. Mostrar menos -

to be funded by the program (rehabilitation and maintenance
of roads, rehabilitation and / or reconstruction of bridges,
and interventions to improve road safety) have potentially
positive impacts. However, rehabilitation and maintenance
work can also have negative impacts on communities both near
and in the natural and physical environment. Among the
potential negative impacts can be included: Air pollution
caused by construction activities; Soil and water
contamination caused by improper disposal of waste; Elevated
levels of noise and / or vibrations caused by the use of
machinery and equipment during the execution of the works
and the exploitation of material loans; Visual pollution;
Loss of land; Altered drainage; Increased insecurity. Mostrar menos -

ng objectives: 1) to mitigate and compensate for
economic and social impacts caused by involuntary
displacement when it is inevitable; 2) to improve, or at
least re-establish livelihoods and quality of life of the
displaced population. The overall purpose of the program is
to improve the provision of infrastructure services in the
Province within a framework of fiscal responsibility.
Through improved services the Project aims to support the
return to a sustainable path of economic growth, to
alleviate poverty and to increase social equity. No
large-scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts are
foreseen. Given the nature of the project, involuntary
resettlement was not anticipated at the time of appraisal.
Cases of Involuntary Resettlement in the future are
unlikely, but they could arise during the implementation of
the project components that require civil works. Mostrar menos -
