Introduction
The Nepal Residence Mission of Asian Development Bank has prepared an automated environmental safeguard monitoring system (A-ESMS) to introduce digital technology with web-based/mobile application in real-time environmental compliance monitoring and reporting. The System was further refined under support from on-going ADB supported Public Investments Implementation Performance Improvement technical assistance (PIIPI) in Nepal. PIIPI aims to address infrastructure bottlenecks, streamline execution, and enhance digital e-governance processes for portfolio performance improvements. The A-ESMS will include real-time compliance tracking, dashboards, and automated alerts across project sites. The system is currently in the enhancement, piloting and final rollout stage in major infrastructure projects.
The valuate the project performance with the help of this application the project stakeholders will have a consolidated knowledge on real-time monitoring and tracking environmental safeguards and safety Environmental Safeguards Monitoring System (A-ESMS) is designed to be used for creating, monitoring, analyzing, and reporting environmental safeguard and safety performance in projects. It supports in overall environment and safety scoring to compliances in projects. It is a centralized storage of environmental safeguard and safety data with photos and video. There are three key user groups in a project- project management office, consultant, and ADB. Each group has allocated access to the level of information that could be accessed.
