FOREWORD

The Government of Nigeria (GoN) identified investments in the agriculture sector as effective means to reducing poverty. The GoN recognizes that higher levels of investments in agriculture, both by the public and private sector, can yield much better results if the reforms are undertaken to streamline not only the incentive structures for the farmers, but also the institutional framework in which agriculture and related activities take place. Seeds and irrigation are highlighted as priority assets, which can be catalysts for raising productivity on the supply side. The overall management of water resources (where agriculture is the largest consumer) is also highlighted as a challenge requiring attention. Solutions through greater efficiency in water use are recognized as critical with more focus given to better management of water in areas of large and medium irrigation projects. This also requires putting in place more holistic water resources management strategies. Finally, other key water management activities identified in the Twelfth Plan include: steps to greatly improve governance in water management through Water User Associations, a focus on on-farm works and the rehabilitation and physical modernization of existing major irrigation systems, and integration of these activities with existing surface reservoir based canal irrigation. In order to respond to the above challenges the GoN has requested the World Bank to support the preparation of a TRANSFORMING IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT IN NIGERIA (TRIMING) PROJECT. In addition to the policy and institutional focus, TRIMING intends to support on the ground Integrated Water Resources Management in the following three basins; Sokoto-Rima Basin, Upper Benue Basin, and the Hadejia-Jamaare-Komadugu-Yobe Basin (HYKYB). Also TRIMING will support dams operational and safety management improvement, particularly for the following dams and reservoirs; Bakolori, Zobe, Goronyo, Tiga, Challawa Gorge, Ruwan Kanya operational reservoir, Hadeija Barrage and Dadin Kowa and also Irrigation management through a particular focus on enhancing capacity of water users associations. From an Environmental and Social Safeguards point of view, the TRIMING project is rated as Category A. It triggers six World Bank safeguards policies (OPs), namely, Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01), Safety of Dams (OP 4.37), Natural Habitats (OP 4.04), Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) mentioned above, Pest Management (OP 4.09), and Projects on International Waterways (OP 7.50). The following safeguards instruments have been prepared and subjected to public consultation and disclosure.

1. Specific interventions will not be known in detail prior to appraisal and a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) is therefore the most appropriate instrument. This document spells out the key objectives and principles of the policy and gives guidance to the preparation of subsequent Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).

2. Similarly, an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) describes in general terms the potential environmental and social impacts of the sub-projects to be financed by this project. The ESMF also provides guidance for preparation of ESIAs, ESMPs, and environmental audits.

3. A Pest Management Plan (PMP) designed to minimize potential adverse impacts on human health and the environment and to advance ecologically based on integrated pest management.

4. The Bakolori Irrigation Scheme has been submitted to a full Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA), including consultation and disclosure, during project preparation. The other site-specific ESIAs will be prepared during project implementation along with the technical studies for the corresponding investments.

The present document corresponds to the document No1 Above, [Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF)] for the TRIMING Project.

DEFINITION OF KEY TERMS

Word/Term Definition

Asset Inventory A complete count and description of all property that will be acquired.

Bank World Bank

Census Official enumeration and collection of demographic information of people and individuals in the sub-project locations of the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) project.

Cut - off Date A day beyond which any person who encroaches on the sub- project area will not be eligible for compensation or any form of resettlement assistance. Normally, the Cut-off Date is the day when the Census commences. The Cut-off Date could also be the date the project area was delineated, prior to the Census, provided that there has been an effective public dissemination of information on the area delineated, and systematic and continuous dissemination subsequent to the delineation to prevent further population influx

Compensation Payment in cash or in kind of the full replacement cost of lost assets.

Displacement Removal of people from their land, homes, farms, etc. as a result of a project's activities. Displacement occurs during the (1) involuntary taking of lands resulting in (i) relocation or loss of shelter (ii) loss of assets or access to assets (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood whether or not the affected persons must move to another location or (2) involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of PAPs.

Entitlements Compensation and other forms of assistance to be provided to displaced persons in the respective eligibility category.

Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF)

An environmental assessment instrument (document) which establishes a mechanism to determine and assess future potential environmental and social impacts of productive investments under the proposed Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) project, and then to set out mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during design, implementation and operation of the project activities to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them , or reduce them to acceptable levels. This instrument has been prepared as a separate and stand-alone document to be used in conjunction with this RPF.

Grievance Procedures

The processes established (a) under law, local regulations, or administrative decision to enable property owners and other displaced persons to redress issues related to acquisition, compensation, or other aspects of resettlement, as well as (b) specific grievance processes put in place as part of the design of a project.

Host Communities

Communities receiving resettled people as a result of involuntary resettlement activities

Land Acquisition

The process whereby a person is compelled by a public agency to alienate all or part of the land he/she owns or possesses, to the ownership and possession of that agency, for public purpose in return for a consideration.

Market Rate Highest rate over the last five years based on commercial terms.

Market Value The most probable selling price or the value most often sought by buyers and sellers. It assumes buyers and sellers have reasonable knowledge, act competitively and rationally are motivated by self interest to maximize satisfaction and both act independently and without collusion, fraud or misrepresentation.

9

Project Affected Person (s)

A person that loses assets and/or usage rights and/or income generation capacities (e.g., land, structures, crops, businesses) because these assets/rights/capacities are located in land to be acquired or used, for needs of the project. Not all PAPs are displaced due to the Project, but all are potentially affected in the maintenance of their livelihood.

Rehabilitation Assistance

The provision of development assistance in addition to compensation such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities, needed to enable Project Affected Persons and Displaced Persons to improve their living standards, income earning capacity and production levels; or at least maintain them at pre-Project levels

Replacement Cost

Replacement cost" is the method of valuation of assets that helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and cover transaction costs. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account. For losses that cannot easily be valued or compensated for in monetary terms (e.g., access to public services, customers, and suppliers; or to fishing, grazing, or forest areas), attempts are made to establish access to equivalent and culturally acceptable resources and earning opportunities. With regard to land and structures, "replacement cost" is defined as follows: For agricultural land, it is the pre-project or pre-displacement, whichever is higher, market value of land of equal productive potential or use located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of preparing the land to levels similar to those of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. For land in urban areas, it is the pre-displacement market value of land of equal size and use, with similar or improved public infrastructure facilities and services and located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. For houses and other structures, it is the market cost of the materials to build a replacement structure with an area and quality similar to or better than those of the affected structure, or to repair a partially affected structure, plus the cost of transporting building materials to the construction site, plus the cost of any labor and contractors' fees, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. In determining the replacement cost, depreciation of the asset and the value of salvage materials are not taken into account, nor is the value of benefits to be derived from the project deducted from the valuation of an affected asset.

Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF)

The present document which is the overall Policy Framework for Compensation, Resettlement and Rehabilitation of Project Affected Persons for theTRIMING Project. The Policy Framework describes the process and methods for carrying out resettlement under the Project, including compensation, relocation and rehabilitation of project affected persons.

Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)

The resettlement action plans prepared for specific sub-projects. It is a resettlement instrument to be prepared when project activities are identified, that require land acquisition that leads to physical displacement of persons, and/or loss of shelter, and /or loss of livelihoods and/or loss, denial or restriction of access to economic resources. The RAP is prepared by the party impacting people and livelihoods in this manner and contains specific and legal binding requirements to be taken by that party to resettle and compensate the affected party before project activities causing this adverse impact are implemented.

10

Right of Way Right to make a way over a piece of land, usually to and from another piece of land.

Special assistance to vulnerable people

This refers to special efforts provided to the vulnerable physically challenged persons such as those with blindness, paralysis, difficulties with locomotion, incapacity to work, etc who are ill prepared but displaced by the project. The special assistance must be given by qualified persons/relatives/agencies, for example an entity who can help care for an invalid, providing transitional support (e.g. moving expenses, temporary food supply, etc.).

Vulnerable Groups:

People who may by virtue of gender, ethnicity, age, physical or mental disability, economic disadvantage or social status be more adversely affected by resettlement than others; and who may have limited ability to claim or take advantage of resettlement assistance and related development benefits.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Irrigation is the application of water to the soil for the purpose of supplying moisture essential for plant growth. It is also undertaken to provide an insurance against droughts, for cooling the soil and atmosphere. It equally provides a more favorable environment for plant growth. Irrigation washes out or dilutes salts in the soil and reduces the hazards of piping and softening tillage pans. Given the abundant water resources in the country and its potential for increasing agricultural production in Nigeria, the Federal Government established the River Basin Development Authority (RBDA). The scheme became necessary because of the persistent too short rainy season in many states of the federation. It was against this background that the Bakolori and Middle Rima, the Kano River Irrigation, Hadejia Valley Irrigation and Dadin Kowa Irrigation Projects were established. However, because of the problems encountered in the project and the need for effective irrigation development, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has requested World Bank assistance to prepare the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) project. The proposed project seeks to improve performance of irrigated and water resources infrastructure and institutions for enhanced productivity in selected irrigation schemes. The proposed credit amount is US$ 400 million. Project Description Component 1: Water Resources Management and Dam Operations Improvements (100 million US$) This Component is part of the piloting support for the transformative water resources sector reform covering policies, enabling legislation, regulatory instruments and organizational restructuring currently being formulated for enactment by the FGN. It includes several subcomponents including Support to Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Dam Operations Improvement and Safety. The proposed Project supports the piloting of anticipated provisions for separation of government regulatory and operational powers and responsibilities for integrated water resources management (IWRM) of river basin-wide water allocation, river flow control and channel maintenance needed for sustainable bulk water supply & drainage for large public irrigation scheme planning, development and operational management. This Project has selected dams and irrigation schemes within: (i) the Sokoto-Rima river basin included in HA1 covering northwest Nigeria; (ii) the Hadejia-Jamaare river basin contained within the Hadejia-Jamaare-Komadugu-Yobe Basin of northeastern Nigerias HA 8; and (iii) the Gongola River Basin in the Upper Benue HA. Under the IWRM envisaged by the forthcoming water resources legislation and its implementing institutions, meeting the large consumptive water use and drainage water disposal of public irrigation schemes in a river basin requires the planned consideration of the water quantity and quality needs of all other non-irrigation water-using sub-sectors including the environmental water needed to sustain the biodiversity and productivity of diverse habitats. Component 2: Irrigation Development and Management (205 million US$) The poor condition and inefficient performance of irrigation canals and dilapidated drainage infrastructure are the major contributors to the poor water service delivery observed in most of the irrigation schemes in Nigeria. These schemes were developed more than 20 to 30 years ago and proposed for rehabilitation and expansion (new development) under TRIMING Project. These include Bakolori Irrigation Project (BIP) and Middle Rima Irrigation Valley (MRIV) in Sokoto-Rima River Basin Authority (SRRBA) and Kano River Project (KRIP) and Hadejia-Jamaare Valley Irrigation Project (HVIP) in Hadejia-Jama'are River Basin Authority (HJRBDA) in northern Nigeria. Combined with poor on-farm water management practices, inadequate agricultural services and market infrastructure as well as the prevailing gaps in the policy environment, these problems have

12

impeded the development of irrigated agriculture in the country. Moreover, some of the dams constructed during the same period and still in good condition with a potential for multi-purpose use are abandoned in various parts of the country. This is mainly attributed to incomplete construction of the irrigation system and instrumentation of the hydropower plant. Dadin Kowa dam in the Upper Benue River Basin Authority (UBRBA) in Gombe state of northeast Nigeria is among these dams. The sub components are Irrigation Infrastructure Investments and Improving Irrigation Management Component 3: Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Supply Chains (40 million US$) This component will provide resources to support strategic issues of value chain development, complementing the programs of Agricultural Transformation Agenda of the FGN. This will include value chain management and capacity building for improved job opportunities to ensure inclusion of small and medium size local entrepreneurs. Promotion of e-extension services will be encouraged. Under this component technical assistance for value chain analysis and private sector development are foreseen: Matching grants for improvement of productive water use in agricultural processing and mechanization as well as support research and development. Technical assistance would be provided for farmer water schools, applied research such as monitoring of crop performance using remote sensing imagery, etc. Proposals will be invited from interested agencies to carry out such studies. Innovations from the project will be also identified and supported for technology transfer within and outside the country. Demonstrations and adaptive field trials will be carried out primarily focusing on direct water efficiency interventions and other water saving related technologies identified during the implementation of the project. Component 4: Institutional Development and Project Management (35 million US$) This component will enhance the efficiency of personnel through the provision of advanced IT based tools, performance-based systems for staff evaluation, modern survey and design techniques as well the overall management of the department through administrative and managerial skills enhancements and tools (e.g. management information systems). Through this business process re-engineering and strengthened governance approach a more flexible, accountable, and responsive Department can be nurtured. Moreover, a strengthened role for water users associations and the concomitant Department role in this agenda will be critical. Enhancing these reforms and building greater farmer participation in water management are crucial to achieving the development objective of improving agricultural productivity and water-use efficiency. There is on subcomponent for project management as well as monitoring and evaluation. This subcomponent will help strengthen the Ministrys capacity, incl. that of the PCU, to implement the project, including fiduciary aspects framework for Bank Projects (procurement, financial management, anti-corruption plan, environmental and social safeguards), M&E, computers, vehicles, Training on contract management, WUA, etc. A simple but effective monitoring and evaluation system will be put in place. There is another subcomponent on institutional development and governance where capacity building will be supported at all levels (FMWR, project, RBDA, scheme): (i) Under the capacity building part numerous activities will be undertaken including: capacity needs assessments for RBDAs, training in contract management, project management, quality assurance; study tours; specific studies and workshops; communications; generation of information and policy notes, etc.; partnerships between national educational centers (such as National Water Resources Institute in Kaduna) and universities (e.g. Wageningen); (ii) Under the advocacy line of activities the overall reform agenda will be promoted to make O&M sustainable. The subcomponent will support for the development of a communications strategy and its implementation; studies, TA, on appropriate fee setting and collection, downsizing of RBDAs, enhancing participation in decision-making, etc.

Need for RPF The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) is designed to provide procedures and guidelines that will be followed because the World Banks OP 4.12 is triggered by the project. The RPF provides a practical tool (e.g. screening checklist) to guide the preparation of Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) for sub-projects during the implementation of the comprehensive Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) project. The RPF sets out the policies, principles, institutional arrangements, schedules and indicative budgets that will take care of any anticipated resettlements. These arrangements shall also ensure that there is a systematic process (as against ad hoc one) for the different stages of the implementation of a framework that assures participation of affected persons, involvement of relevant institutions and stakeholders, adherence to both World Bank and Government procedures and requirements, and outline compensation for affected persons. The RPF provide the framework within which Resettlement Action Plans/Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plans will be developed and implemented when the project is certain of the locations, designs and specific impacts of the sub-projects. Project Location The coverage of the proposed interventions is shown in Table 1.

Bakolori is the name of a rural community in Zamfara State in North Western Nigeria. The Bakolori Dam and Irrigation Scheme is located in Maradun LGA of which was carved out of the old Talata Mafara LGA. The irrigation scheme serves water users in the three LGAs of Talata Mafara, Bakura and Maradun LGAs in Zamfara State. The project area is located 110 km southeast from Sokoto City. The Middle Rima Irrigation Valley scheme is located in Sokoto State, north-west Nigeria. The Middle Rima Valley Irrigation Project is located downstream of Goronyo Dam (not far from Niger Republic border). The project area covers a total of 5,360hectares net divided into six different irrigable sectors on both sides of the Rima River. It is located between Goronyo Dam near the Village of Katsira to the north-east on one end and about 5km downstream of the village of Shinaka to the south-west on the other end.

The Kano River Irrigation Project (KRIP) began as far back as 1969 with the construction of Bagauda Dam which Started at Kadawa Irrigation Project Scheme, the precursor of the KRIP. The Government quickly followed the Bagauda Dam with a much bigger dam, the Tiga Dam between 1970 and 1973 with the primary purpose of boosting agricultural production through irrigation to enhance self reliance in food production. The control of the project was later shifted from the Kano State Government to the Federal Government of Nigeria as a project under Hadejia Jamaare River Basin Development Authority. The Hadejia valley irrigation project is one of the Federal Government Projects and is situated within Auyo, Kaugama, Miga and Kafin Hausa and Hadejia Local Government Area of Jigawa State, all in Hadejia Emirate. It is situated between Hadjia and Kafin Hausa Rivers. This Project was designed to utilize the water released from the upstream Challawa and Tiga dams, into the river system. The Dadin Kowa Irrigation Project is located in Dadin kowa village on the right bank of the Gongola River, near the Dadin kowa bridge on the Gombe to Biu Road, 5km downstream of the Dadin kowa Dam. It consists of 140ha gravity irrigation (phase I) and 160ha sprinkler (phase II). This scheme was started in 1979 and was used on a forerunner to the 25000ha Dadin kowa lot irrigation scheme under the Dadin kowa Dam Project. Categories of PAPs The likely displaced persons can be categorized into three groups, namely;

Affected Individual An individual who suffers loss of assets or investments, land and property and/or access to natural and/or economical resources as a result of the subproject activities and to whom compensation is due.

Affected Household A household is affected if one or more of its members is affected by sub project activities, either by loss of property, loss of access or otherwise affected in any way by project activities.

Vulnerable Households This includes persons who by virtue of their gender, age, physical and/or economic disadvantage (or because they otherwise belong to a Vulnerable Group) may be worse off than others as a result of the partial or full demolition of structures or acquisition of landholding in the project area.

Criteria for Eligibility for Compensation The Banks OP4.12 suggests the following three criteria for eligibility;

a) Those who have formal rights to land (including customary land, traditional and religious rights, recognized under the Federal and/or State Laws of Nigeria)

b) Those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets provided that such claims are recognized under the state, customary and/or federal laws of Nigeria or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan

c) Those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying, using or getting their livelihood from.

Legal Framework for Land Acquisition The legal framework for land acquisition in Nigeria is the land use Act of 1978, reviewed under Cap 202, 1990. The relevant World Bank operational policy (OP 4.12), which addresses land acquisition and involuntary resettlement was reviewed. The differences between the Land Use Act and the Banks OP 4.12 are mostly in rehabilitation measures, which are neither proscribed nor mandated in the Act. Thus it is noted in this RPF that

15

in the event of divergence between the two, the World Bank safeguard policy shall take precedence over Nigeria Land Use Act. Guiding Principles for Resettlement Planning Once the proposed intervention has been designed, which will require voluntary or involuntary taking of land or displacement, and before actual work begins, a resettlement action plan will be developed. This will involve a socioeconomic study and census (including complex households such as compounds) that will be carried out within the area directly affected by the project where land will be acquired. The socioeconomic study should focus on such issues as livelihoods, household and compound composition, clan and sub-clan organization, other forms of social organization, gender composition, ethnic groups, traditional and non-traditional leadership and other factors in the area, conflict and other issues relevant to the implementation of a resettlement plan. The census should include information on all income sources including remittances. All the above data shall be photographically documented. A sample household questionnaire has been prepared as an annex to this RPF. Concurrently, data will be collected on services available to households in the area such as educational institutions, health-care facilities, places of worship, extension agencies, shops and any other services normally used by household members. Transport facilities (roads, bus and van lines, etc.) should be registered. Distance from households to facilities should be noted. The valuation procedures of all assets that will be affected will be conducted by a qualified valuer/surveyor. Compensation for loss of income and assets will be at full replacement cost such that the PAPs will experience no net loss. Eligibility criteria have been defined. PAPs, communities, NGOs relevant stakeholders will participate in the resettlement/rehabilitation process. The specific plans/mechanisms for consultation and participation will be detailed in the RAP and will include resettlement / local resettlement committees for PAPs and communities and interagency committees for participating stakeholders. Summary on the GRM The grievance redress procedure will be simple, administered as far as possible at the local and State levels to facilitate access, flexible and open to various proofs taking into cognizance the fact most people are illiterate requiring a speedy, just and fair resolution of their grievances. All attempts would be made to settle grievances. Those seeking redress and wishing to state grievances would do so by notifying the Resettlement Committee. If the complainants claim is rejected, then the matter will be brought before the local courts for settlement. The decision of the state high courts would be final and all such decisions must be reached within a short period of time after the complaint is lodged. If a complaint pattern emerges, the PCU and the State Ministry of Environment and FMWR, with local community leaders will discuss possible remediation in close consultation with the PCU at FMEnV, who will only act as observers in this case. The local leaders will be required to give advice concerning the need for revisions to procedures. Once they agree on necessary and appropriate changes, then a written description of the changed process will be made. The municipal/township heads and other community leaders will be responsible for communicating any changes to future potential PAPs when the consultation process with them begins. Arrangements for Compensation Compensation (and resettlement) will be funded like any other activity eligible under the projects administrative and financial management rules and manuals. Funding would be processed and effected through the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) Project Coordinating Unit (PCU) and will comply with the financial arrangements agreed upon at project negotiations. The compensation process, which will involve several steps, would be in accordance with the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) project resettlement and compensation plans and will include public participation,

16

notification, documentation and preparation of contracts and compensation payments. The grievance redress mechanism as detailed in the document should be followed in case of complaints. Monitoring and Evaluation In order to successfully complete the resettlement management as per the implementation schedule and compliance with the policy and entitlement framework, there would be need for monitoring and evaluation of the RAP/ARAP implementation. Monitoring and evaluation will be a continuous process and will include internal and external monitoring. The safeguards officer shall play a key role in reporting the progress of implementation as well as compliance to the PCU, PSC, TAC and the World Bank. The RPF underscores the importance of monitoring and evaluation of the sub projects under the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) project. It also highlights mechanisms for internal and external monitoring and provides the indicators.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background Irrigation is the application of water to the soil for the purpose of supplying moisture essential for plant growth. It is also undertaken to provide an insurance against droughts, for cooling the soil and atmosphere. It equally provides a more favourable environment for plant growth. Irrigation washes out or dilutes salts in the soil and reduces the hazards of piping and softening tillage pans. Irrigation development has long been considered essential to the sustainable growth of agricultural production in Nigeria. Given the abundant water resources in the country and its potential for increasing agricultural production in Nigeria, the Federal Government established the River Basin Development Authorities (RBDA). The schemes became necessary because of the persistent too short rainy season in many states of the federation. It was against this background that the Bakolori and Zobe, the Kano River Irrigation, Hadejia Valley Irrigation and Dadin Kowa Irrigation Projects were established. However, because of the problems encountered in the projects and the need for effective irrigation development, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has requested World Bank assistance to prepare the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING). The proposed project seeks to improve performance of irrigated and water resources infrastructure and institutions for enhanced productivity in selected irrigation schemes. The TRIMING Project will directly support key cross-cutting priorities in the water and agricultural sectors that are identified in the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS). These include increasing agricultural productivity, where the CPS places a strong emphasis on innovative approaches and on strengthening of systems. The proposed credit amount is US$ 400 million. The proposed project is classified as Category A for the purpose of the World Bank Safeguard Policies which means that it must be subjected to a full environmental assessment as required by the World Banks Operational Policy on Environmental Assessment (OP/BP4.01). The proposed project triggers a number of World Bank Safeguard Policies. The policies triggered are as follows:

Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01);

Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04);

Pest Management (OP/BP 4.09);

Physical Cultural Resources (OP/BP 4.11);

Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12);

Safety of Dams (OP/BP4.37);

International Waterways (OP/BP 7.50). This Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) is designed to provide procedures and guidelines that will be followed because the World Banks OP 4.12 is triggered by the sub-project activities. Considering that the details of the sub-projects under TRIMING (volume, scope, scale and/or actual nature of activities, etc.) are not known, it is therefore not possible in this situation to prepare a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) or an Abbreviated Resettlement Plan (ARAP). The World Bank Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) therefore requires the development of a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) to guide the preparation of sub-project specific RAPs. This Resettlement Policy framework clarifies resettlement principles, organizational arrangements and design criteria to be applied during project implementation. Sub-project resettlement plans consistent with the RPF will subsequently be submitted to the Bank for approval after specific planning information becomes available. It should be noted that the policy is designed to mitigate harm caused by displacement or land acquisition

24

occurring in the process of the TRIMING project Implementation by setting out appropriate parameters for compensation and other assistance required by OP 4.12. The RPF shall serve as a practical tool (e.g. screening checklist) to guide the preparation of Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) for sub-projects during the implementation of the comprehensive Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING).It is vital to note that for each subproject supported under the Project that involves land acquisition or relocation of people, a separate Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) satisfactory to the Bank is required prior to signing a work order. 1.2 Objectives for Consultancy The main objective of the consultancy is to prepare a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) applicable to the project over its time frame. The preparation of this RPF shall follow the requirements of the World Banks policy on Involuntary Resettlement, OP 4.12 and ESMF that has been prepared as a separate document for the project. The RPF shall also make reference to the Federal Government of Nigerias legal and institutional requirements. 1.3 Scope of Work The assignment by the Consultant shall cover the following key areas as described in the ToR. Other areas considered relevant by the Consultant should be included so far as they add value to the outlined areas below:

i. The Resettlement policy framework shall clarify resettlement principles, organizational arrangements and design criteria to be applied to sub-projects to be prepared during project implementation. Sub-project resettlement plans (RAPs) consistent with the RPF will subsequently be submitted to the Bank for approval after specific planning information becomes available prior to disbursement for a specific subproject. .

The impacts due to involuntary resettlement from development projects, if left unmitigated, often gives rise to severe economic, social and environmental risks resulting in production systems being dismantled; people facing impoverishment when their productive assets or income sources are lost; people being relocated to environment where their skills may be less applicable and the competition of resources greater; community institutions and social networks being weakened; kin/clan groups being dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority, and the potential for mutual help are diminished or lost. For these reasons, most projects, like the TRIMING supported by the Bank are designed to avoid involuntary resettlement. Where it is unavoidable to embark on involuntary resettlement assistance as a sustainable development initiative, appropriate measures to minimize, as much as possible, are chosen. For adverse impacts on displaced persons and host communities, carefully planned and implemented framework is ensured to mitigate the impact. The World Bank Resettlement Policy OP 4.12 could be triggered in instances where, project activities could result in loss of structures (houses, fences/ involuntary take of land etc.) and possibly incomes (rents for landlords, business premises, agricultural land). Therefore, people are in most cases compensated for their loss (of land, property or access) either in kind or in cash of which, in most cases the former is preferred. The failure to take into account potential involuntary resettlement in the rehabilitation of 11,200 ha of irrigated land and an expansion of the existing scheme of up to 22,400 ha., for example as will be carried out in TRIMING project can increase the risk of hardship and negatively impact poverty reduction objectives. It is generally recognized that the impacts due to involuntary resettlement from development projects give rise to severe economic, social and environmental risks if left unmitigated such as listed below: a. Landlessness

Land expropriation removes the main foundation on which many people build productive systems, commercial activities and livelihoods.

Often land is lost forever and sometimes it is partially replaced, seldom fully replaced or fully compensated. This is the main form of de-capitalization and pauperization of the people who are displaced, and both natural and man-made capital is lost.

b. Homelessness

26

Loss of shelter may be only temporary for many people, but for some it remains a chronic condition and is also felt as loss of identity and cultural impoverishment.

Loss of housing may have consequences on family cohesion and on mutual help networks if neighbouring households of the same kinship group get scattered.

Group relocation of neighbours is therefore usually preferable over dispersed relocation. c. Joblessness

Loss of salaried employment occurs both in rural and urban displacement. People losing jobs may be industrial or service workers, landless agricultural labourers, or artisans. Unemployment or under-employment among those who are resettled may linger long after physical

relocation. Creating new jobs for them is difficult and requires substantial investments, new creative approaches,

and reliance on sharing project benefits. d. Food Insecurity

Destruction of crops diminishes self-sufficiency, dismantles local arrangements for food supply, and thus increases the risk of chronic food insecurity. This is defined as calorie-protein intake levels below the minimum necessary for normal growth and work.

e. Increased Morbidity and Mortality Vulnerability of the poorest people to illness is increased by forced relocation, because it tends to be

associated with increased stress, psychological traumas, or the outbreak of parasitic diseases. Decreases in health levels result from unsafe water supply and sewage systems that cause the

spread of epidemic infections, diarrhoea, dysentery, etc. f. Educational Loss

Involuntary displacement disrupts all public services at the departure sites, with heavy effects particularly on school programmes.

Interruption of school attendance causes prolonged loss of access to education; some children do not return to school at all and are prematurely sent by their families to join the labour force.

g. Social Displacement The dismantling of community structures and social organization, the dispersion of informal and formal

networks, local associations, etc. is a massive loss of social capital. Such displacement undermines livelihoods in ways usually not recognized and not measured by planners, and is a cause of disempowerment and impoverishment.

h. Marginalization This occurs when relocated families lose economic power and slide down towards lesser socio-

economic positions. Middle-income households become small landholders while small shopkeepers and craftsmen lose

business and fall below poverty thresholds. Economic marginalization tends to be accompanied by social and psychological marginalization.

i. Loss of Access to Common Property Poor farmers, particularly those without assets, suffer loss of access to the common property goods

belonging to communities that are relocated (e.g., loss of access to forests, water bodies, grazing lands, fishing areas, cemetery lands, etc.). This represents a form of income loss and livelihood deterioration that is typically overlooked by planners and therefore uncompensated.

In line with the foregoing, this Resettlement Policy Framework has the following objectives: (i) Involuntary resettlement and land acquisition should be avoided where feasible, or minimized,

exploring all viable alternative project designs; (ii) Where it is not feasible to avoid, resettlement and compensation activities should be conceived and

executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable

27

the persons displaced by the project the opportunity to share in project benefits. Displaced and compensated persons must be meaningfully consulted and have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing the programs linked to their resettlement.

(iii) Displaced (economically or physically) and compensated persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living , or at least restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher.

For the purposes of this framework, Affected Persons are defined as: All persons who, as a result of works carried out or to be carried out under the Project, would incur: (i) relocation or loss of shelter, such as houses; (ii) loss of assets or access to assets, such as land or crops; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, such as stalls or productive activities on the land; or (iv) the involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks or protected areas, which would result in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of displaced persons. Therefore, involuntary resettlement, as per the definition in OP 4.12 (Annex 1), means both physical displacement as well as economic displacement. The term involuntary means any taking or displacement, to which the project affected person cannot say no - that is an action that may take place without the displaced persons informed consent or power of choice, is involuntary and therefore the policy OP 4.12 applies. The policy applies to all displaced persons regardless of the total number affected, the severity of the impact and whether or not they have legal title to the land. Particular attention will be paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced; especially those below the poverty line; the landless, the elderly, women and children and the ethnic minorities or other displaced persons who may not be protected through Nigerian land compensation legislation. In particular for TRIMING Project, the policy also requires that the implementation of individual resettlement and compensation plans are a prerequisite for the commencement of project activities causing resettlement, such as land acquisition, to ensure that displacement or restriction to access does not occur before necessary measures for resettlement and compensation are in place. It is further required that these measures include provision of compensation and of other assistance required for relocation, prior to displacement, and preparation and provision of resettlement sites (if necessary) with adequate facilities, where required. In particular, the taking of land and related assets or the denial of access to assets may take place only after compensation has been paid and where applicable, resettlement sites, new homes, related infrastructure, public services and moving allowances have been provided to displaced persons. Furthermore, where relocation or loss of shelter occurs, the policy further requires that measures to assist the displaced persons are implemented in accordance with the resettlement action plan. 1.5 The Need for Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) Project Resettlement

Policy Framework (RPF)

This Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) is designed to provide procedures and guidelines that would be followed because the World Banks OP 4.12 is triggered by the project. The RPF provides a practical tool (e.g.

28

screening checklist) to guide the preparation of Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) for sub-projects during the implementation of the comprehensive TRIMING project. The RPF sets out the policies, principles, institutional arrangements, schedules and indicative budgets that will take care of any anticipated resettlements. These arrangements shall also ensure that there is a systematic process (as against an hoc one) for the different stages of the implementation of a framework that assures participation of affected persons, involvement of relevant institutions and stakeholders, adherence to both World Bank and Government procedures and requirements, and outline compensation for affected persons. The RPF provide the framework within which Resettlement Action Plans/Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plans will be developed when the project is certain of the locations and specific impacts of the sub-projects.

1.6 TRIMING Project and the Principle of Involuntary Resettlement Under the World Bank OP 4.12, those affected by resettlement are defined as those who are directly affected socially and economically by: (a) The involuntary taking of land and other assets resulting in:

relocation or loss of shelter; loss of assets or access to assets; or loss of direct income sources or means of livelihood (i.e., income and livelihoods directly

dependent on the affected areas), whether or not the affected persons must move to another location.

(b) The involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas results in adverse impacts on the livelihood of the displaced persons. The Bank Safeguard Policy OP 4.12 applies to TRIMING Project in:

1. All components under the project, whether or not they are directly funded in whole or in part by the Bank.

2. All displaced persons due to the sub-projects regardless of the total number affected and the severity of the impact and whether or not they have legal title to the land.

3. Squatters or other land occupiers who lack legal title or legal occupancy rights to the land they occupy who should be entitled to assistance in accordance with the objectives of the RPF.

This RPF further applies to other activities resulting in involuntary resettlement that in the judgment of the Bank are:

a) Directly and significantly related to TRIMING Project sub-projects during implementation b) Necessary to achieve its objectives as set forth in the project documents; and c) Carried out, or planned to be carried out, at the same time as the TRIMING Project sub-projects.

Below, is an overview of what must be done to compensate those that will be displaced involuntarily (loss of land or prevention of access to normal means of livelihood) is given:

Offer displaced persons choices among feasible resettlement options, including adequate replacement housing or cash compensation where appropriate.

Provide relocation assistance suited to the needs of each group of displaced persons, with particular attention paid to the needs of the poor and the vulnerable.

Make alternative housing and/or cash compensation available prior to relocation. Build new resettlement sites for displaced persons with improved living conditions.( where relocation

to new site is the case

29

In the case of physically displaced persons with recognized or recognizable rights, the project will offer the choice of replacement property of equal or higher value, equivalent or better characteristics and advantages of location or cash compensation at full replacement value.

For all displaced persons, including those without formal or recognizable rights to land, compensate them for the loss of assets other than land, such as dwellings and other improvements to the land, at full replacement cost.

Offer compensation in kind in lieu of cash compensation where feasible. Based on consultation with such displaced persons, provide relocation assistance sufficient for them to restore their standards of living at an adequate alternative site. It is important to stress that the policy is not designed to address economic displacement in itself. Economic displacement could occur where people suffer losses or damage due to project activities that do not involve the taking of land. For example, if the water pipes to be replaced are located in a street where business shops are and disruption of economic activities may be caused temporary as people may be prevented for visiting nearby shops to make purchases. This is a purely economic displacement and not subject to OP4.12 because land was not taken from the business itself. In summary, this RPF reflects the fact that OP4.12 demands mitigation only
