Synopsis (short abstract) This guidance note supports the implementation of the Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) that sit at the heart of the Framework for Environmental and Social Management (FESM) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). ESOP 2 sets out the principles for ensuring meaningful, effective and informed participation of all stakeholders in the formulation and implementation of FAO programmes and projects as well as the grievance, conflict-resolution and accountability mechanisms to prevent and mitigate adverse impacts. Meaningful and effective stakeholder engagement is fundamental to achieve the SDGs and adhere to the principle of ‘leaving no one behind’. It is essential for combatting inequality and ensuring equity and non-discrimination in all areas of FAO programming. Meaningful engagement with stakeholders, which includes access to timely and user-centred information and victim-centred grievance mechanisms is a key aspect of a human rights-based approach to programming.
