IFC Performance Standard 4 establishes requirements to safeguard local communities from 
potential risks associated with the Project including impacts associated with introduction of 
communicable disease, site access and operation, material use etc. The key objectives of PS4 
are: 
 
To anticipate and avoid adverse impacts on the health and safety of the Affected 
Community during the project life from both routine and non-routine 
circumstances.
 
To ensure that the safeguarding of personnel and property is carried out in
accordance with relevant human rights principles and in a manner that avoids or 
minimizes risks to the Affected Communities.

ARASSMENT 
(GBVH) 
According to the guidance, addressing GBVH can build relationships and provide a Project 
with a social license to operate in communities. This can result from regular dialogue to 
understand and track project GBVH risks as well as the effective use of measures to prevent 
and respond to GBVH. In addition, it broadens the pool of potential workers that companies 
can draw upon, including women workers from nearby communities because of lower 
perceived risk of GBVH.
