(iv) The Environmental Status Report image of word icon (22K): Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance projects and programs (i.e., those funded under Title II/monetized food aid) require an annual Environmental Status Report (ESR). The ESR is submitted as an appendix to the project or program annual report. It must be submitted for all previously approved programs, whether those programs were approved under a Categorical Exclusion, an IEE, an EA or PEA.

The ESR is intended to assure that mitigation and monitoring as specified in the IEE are being carried out. The ESR is also intended to identify any unusual circumstances or changes to project implementation that may call into question the Categorical Exclusion(s) given the project, the determination reached by the IEE, or the adequacy of mitigation and monitoring measures. If such circumstances or changes are identified, the ESR directs implementing organizations to file an amended IEE or categorical exclusion.

In 2-10 pages or less, the Environmental Status Report narrative should indicate whether steps need to be taken to amend previous environmental documentation and whether conditions are being met, e.g., mitigation plans are on schedule and that the specified monitoring and evaluation measures are being undertaken by the Partner. In a Mission's comments and/or approval cable on annual reports or project or program modifications, the Mission should state whether it concurs with the Environmental Status Report.
