<strong>EXECUTIVE SUMMARY</strong>

ES.1 Project Identification

This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared by Royal Environmental Group (RE-Group) in respect of the renovation of N. V. Massaquoi School in West Point Township, District Seven, Montserrado County, into the West Point Environmental Innovation Center (EIC). The sub-project falls under Output 3 of the Monrovia Metropolitan Climate Resilience Project (MMCRP), a Green Climate Fund (GCF)–financed initiative implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia serving as the Executing Entity. The building is owned by the Government of Liberia and is operated as a public school under the Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS). The works contractor is Monroe International Group of Companies, with construction presently ongoing.

<strong>ES.2 Project Description Summary</strong>

The works comprise the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of an existing two-story concrete-frame school building to function as an Environmental Innovation Center. The renovation includes the refurbishment of classrooms, the installation of new training and demonstration spaces, the upgrading of sanitary facilities, electrical re-wiring, the provision of climate-resilient drainage and the establishment of a construction camp on the site itself. The daily workforce ranges between seventeen and twenty workers. The school is out of session for the duration of the works. The EIC, once operational, will serve as a community hub for climate-resilient livelihoods training, mangrove and coastal awareness education, and gender-responsive vocational programmes consistent with MMCRP Output 3.
