ABSTRACT: This study aims to propose environmental and social management strategies for the operational phase of the OMVS’s hydroelectric structures and facilities. Thus, based on the mitigation and mitigation measures proposed during the analysis of significant environmental aspects and impacts, nine (9) environmental management programs (EMPs) have been proposed which are directly linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the aspirations, objectives and priority areas of the African Union’s Agenda 2063. The methodology applied to each program is the results-based management (RBM) approach. However, as the study is conceptual and forward-looking in nature, it does not report on implementation results, nor does it demonstrate that the proposed EMPs have already produced organizational, environmental or social effects. For each EMP, a logical framework is determined, considering the activities, the immediate results called “outputs,” the change noted as “effect,” and the final results called “objectives,” which are correlated with the EMPs.
