This Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) is developed in line with relevant Dominican laws and regulations and relevant World Bank Safeguards Policies. The purpose of the IPPF is to guide in screening of proposed sub projects, identify specific environmental and social risks and impacts associated with the proposed sub projects, establish mitigation measures and how to operationalize, including specific safeguards instruments, principles, organizational arrangements, and design criteria to be applied to meet the needs of the people who may be affected by the various sub-projects. The IPPF, therefore, is prepared to guide and govern the subprojects that are selected for financing and sets out the elements that will be common to all subprojects that will entail mitigation measures.
