Compensation Payment in cash or kind to which the affected people are entitled in order to replace the lost asset, resource or income.

Cut-off-date Date after which people will NOT be considered eligible for compensation i.e. they are not included in the list of APs as defined by the census.

Encroachers People who move into the project area after the cut-off date and are therefore not eligible for compensation or other rehabilitation measures provided by the project or persons who have trespassed onto government land, adjacent to his/her own land or asset, to which he/she is not entitled, by deriving his/her livelihood there. Such act is called “Encroachment.”

Entitlement Entitlement means the range of measures comprising compensation in cash or kind, relocation cost, income rehabilitation assistance, transfer assistance, income substitution, and business restoration which are due to APs, depending on the type and degree nature of their losses, to restore their social and economic base.

CHAPTER-1:

INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

1. The tranche-4 project is one among the Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF) projects

of Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the CAREC Transport Corridor I (Zhambyl Oblast

Section) [Western Europe–Western People's Republic of China International Transit Corridor]

Investment Program. The project is under implementation by the Committee of Roads (CoR) of

the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MOTC) within Zhambyl Oblast of the Republic of

Kazakhstan. The Project is upgradding about 49 km road on the Almaty-Taraz highway from

Aspara to Blagoveshchenka (Km 261.5 – Km 310.5) from technical Category-II into a

Category-IB paved road. Project 4 of the CAREC Transport Corridor I within Kazakhstan

territory will contribute to sustainable economic growth by stimulating transit traffic, promoting

trade, and strengthening regional cooperation. The project also is expecting to provide efficient

transport network facilities in Zhambyl Oblast in particular and within the country in general.

The primary output is to up gradation of a 49 km road from category-II to category-IB between

km 261.5 and km 310.5 section from existing two-lane to four lanes of Category IB within the

existing right-of-way.

2. A Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for the Affected People (AP) due to

development interventions for this road section were originally prepared during detail design in

2009 and afterwards, it was updated in 2011 because of certain changes in design. This LARP

is now under implementation by the Zhambyl Oblast CoR. However, as per requirement of

ADB, an internal Monitoring for this Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP)

implementation is mandatory. Accordingly, the LARP implementation has been monitored and

a draft(interim) internal LARP monitoring report has been prepared in December, 2012 for this

project-4 by the Social Development Specialists (international & National) of the Construction

Supervision Consultant (Kocks Consult GMbH). This monitoring report has been prepared

based on the issues and actions defined in the final LARP that was prepared and issued in

August 2011 by the Committee of Roads (CoR) of the Ministry of Transport and Communications

(MOTC) in compliance with the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) agreed

between the Government of Kazakhstan and ADB and relevant Kazakhstan laws.

1.2 Project Background

3. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed to provide the Kazakhstan Government

up to $700 million within several ‘Tranches’ (meaning the value and other financial aspects) or

‘Projects’ (meaning the technical/physical outputs from each tranche) for implementing ‘Republic of

Kazakhstan: Asian Development Bank (ADB) Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF) for the

CAREC Transport Corridor I (Zhambyl Oblast Section) [Western Europe–Western People's

Republic of China International Transit Corridor] Investment Program. The Program involves

the rehabilitation, upgrading/improvement and new construction of several roads along the

Western Europe-Western China Transit Corridor and financing divided in several tranches. Under

this program, Poject-4 covers the rehabilitation and upgrading of Km 261.5 – Km 310.5 (Aspara

to Blagoveshchenka) involves replacement of the existing two-lane road by a four-lane road of

category I-B standard.

4. Civil Construction Contracts for the work have been awarded to KCC and work was

commenced in May 2012 with completion expected by April 2014. Kocks Consult GMbH in

association with Quality Planning, Uzbekistan, KECC, Korea, Almaty Joba employed by MOTC

as Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) and mobilized in July 2012. The construction

contract with KCC was signed in February 2012 between the Employer and the Contractor and

official commencement date for construction determined to be 22nd May 2012. However the

contract between the Consultant and Employer was signed only on the 25th June 2012 and the

commencement date for the Consultancy Services was 22nd July 2012. Nevertheless, the

Consultant, Kocks Consult GMbH with partner firms, started mobilization to the site from the

beginning of July 2012. In the meantime some works had been carried out already by the

Contractor as early as February 2012 for Aspara to Blagoveshchenka Road Project. Prior to

the mobilization of the Consultant the Employer was supervising the works at site. It may be

mentioned here that as per ADB policy, full implementation of the compensation program

described in the LARP including full delivery of compensation is a requirement for the initiation

of civil works.

1.3 Project Location & Activities 5. This ‘Tranche/Project-4’ covers road reconstruction/construction activities that are being

carriedout in the road section between Km 261.5-310.5 (Km 260-305 of the existing road

stationing) of the Almaty-Taraz highway. It commences approximately 1km west of the

“Blagoveshenka-Korday Road”,(from the end of Lot 2 of Tranche/Project 2), and connects to

the end of Lot 1 of Tranche/Project 2 at Km 305/310, approximately 50 kms from Merke Town.

The road section is located covering the Shu and Merke rayons of Zhambyl region.

6. Construction works on the section Km 261.5-310.5 involves replacement of the existing

two-lane road by a four-lane road of category I-B standard. The route runs for 30 km along the

existing road and 17.9 km in a new direction to bypass the two salients of territory of the Kyrgyz

Republic in two places. This required an expansion of the existing 40-m ROW to 70m where

the road will pass through the existing road and land allotment width of 70m where the road

runs on new alignment. Two cattle underpasses of 4 x 2.5 m size for safe passage of cattle

under the roadway has been built on the section Km 266 and Km 306 and one more cattle

pass along with the provision of carry agriculture equipment and crops are planning to

construct in an around Shu Bridge in compliance to the local demand. The project road is

shown in the figure below:

Figure 1: Location of the Project Road

7. All these road construction and improvement works required considerable amount of

permanent land acquisition and resettlement before construction. There were some other

temporary effects particularly in connection to land acquisition during construction period

which were mitigated/taken care by the contractors.

1.4 Geographic Features of Project Area 8. The road traverses vegetated drainage channels that flow intermittently during

infrequent periods of heavy rainfall (isolated storms). There are no permanent flowing streams

on this road section. The existing road corridor has an occasional tree lined shelter belt on

either side of the road (of various degrees of thickness) that provides a wind break and snow

barrier for the road. In many cases these are the only trees available as most land has been

cleared for cropping or by nature is only grassed. Most of the road is bordered by flat / slightly

undulating ground that has light to moderate grass cover or cropped land. The road passes

mostly over the arable lands along some small villages where widening of the corridor

impacted on local persons arable lands only.

9. The land relief along the project road can be generally described as slightly inclined

alluvial-proluvial flatland with some areas of rigidly undulating and with rigid-valley formed by

loess and silty-clay soil. The reconstructed alignment crosses the Shu River delta. Within this

region a number of Shu River tributaries are crossed necessitating waterway infrastructures

such as bridges and culverts. Natural vegetation follows the floodplain of the Shu River

tributaries and mostly consists of feather grass, fescue, anabases salsa, rare ephemera, black

saxaul and willow. The fauna is represented by wild rams, roe, hare, pheasants and partridges.

10. The local climate is abrupt continental dry, with hot summer and moderately to very cold

winter. Spring seasons is short and warm with frost still occurring in late months of May, while

the autumn is dry and warm. Frost free conditions lasts to around 5-6 months within a normal

year.

11. Shu region has population of around 93,000 with Shu as the center. Merke region has

population of around 71,900 concentrated mainly in Merke. It is anticipated that the road

improvement project will enhance transport of fish, farm products and livestock in these regions

and facilitate the delivery of cargoes to these centers with a considerable improvement in

socioeconomic condition of the people of this region through increasing income and

employment.

1.5 Objective and Coverage of the Monitoring Report 12. The major objective of this internal monitoring report is to analyze the implementation

status and completion of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) implementation

for this road section. The objectives of the internal monitoring report are to:

a. verify status of resettlement implemention for the project that complies with

the approved framework and resettlement plan:

b. verify status of up dated compensation payment to APs;

c. verify implication of grievance redress mechanism to solve AP’s grievances &

status of grievances received from the APs/local people so far and

d. verify that APs have been able to at least restore their livelihood and living

standards.

13. The present report reflects current situation with land acquisition and related issues, as

well as opinions of APs, whose interests and rights have been affected in this process. Moreover,

the report summarizes and describes the current status of the Permanent Land Acquisition

process including completed issues, payment status, outstanding issues and feedback from the

APs.

14. However, temporary Land Acquisition required for the construction purposes e.g. for

establishment of site offices, stockyards & wire houses for storing construction materials &

equipments though has been managed through the Civil Construction Contracts with

compensation being paid at current commercial rates for the period that temporary acquisition

of the land is required. This issue also has been monitored under the current program.

1.6 Methodology Followed under Monitoring Program 15. At this stage of project implementation, monitoring has been conducted in the months

of November & December 2012 by the Social Development Specialists (International & local)

of the construction supervision consultant Kocks Consult GMbH & Associates with assistance

from the Zhambyl Oblast Road Department, Contractors and Project Management Consultant

(PMC).

16. The monitoring has been conducted through holding consultations/meetings with the

concerned officials of Road Department, Rayon Akimats, Contractor (KCC), contractors &

sub contractors, road side villages/ community people and interviews of the APs. The

monitoring was conducted based on Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan and collecting

information on compensation paid to APs so far by the Zhambyl Obast Department of CoR,

MOTC, and feed back/data through consultations and interviews with the affected & beneficiary

people of the community and other stake holders of the project. Moreover, monitoring also

covered different social concern, e.g. opinions, grievances.

17. The following procedures have been followed during monitoring of resettlement plan implementation:

Analyzing LARP, procedures of entitlement, compensation payments processes, and agreed ADB’s Social safeguard & Resettlement Policy and LARF;

Collecting up to date records of data/information on compensation payment to APs against their entitlement by types of compensation for each individual APs from CoR;

Conducting consultation/meetings with different stakeholders of the project including project affected & project beneficiaries and contractors staffs/workers employed for road construction works;

Conducting monitoring of temporary land acquisition procedures and terms & conditions; Conducting consultations and interviews/surveys with the APs to assess their level of

satisfaction with type and amount of compensations;

3.2.3 Status of Compensation to Crop Loss for Leased Lands 26. Land leased by 54 households and 4 legal entities were cultivating different types of

crops on the leased land. So, they are also entitled to get crop compensation for crop loss in

cash at full market rate for 1 year crop harvest (based on a 3-year average) as stated in the

LARP. Accordingly, the total value of crop compensation has been estimated at KZT.

3,004,043.00 for compensating the 54 lease holding households and 4 legal entities. Up to

November 2012, 40 households and 4 legal entities received total compensation for crop loss

amounting KZT. 2908,486 which reveal that about 96.8% payment has been made out the total

crop compensation. However, 14 APs amounting total KZT. 65,464.00 did not receive their

compensation money. Out of the 14 APs, one of them was not satisfied with the compensation

amount offered by the CoR and he filed a case in the court for decision. Remaining 13 APs

surrendered their land to the state without compensation. Please see up-to-date payment

status of APs against their name for the crop loss below in table 3.3 below.

CHAPTER-4:

Monitoring of Labors & Employee’s Issues Engaged for the Project Works

4.1 General

32. For the purpose of road construction and implementation of the project-4, the client

(MOTC) KCC has employed as the main consultant. Afterwards, KCC employed 8 local

companies as subcontractors under different sections of the road to carry out the construction

activities following the road design under overall supervision of the main contractor and CSC.

All these main and subcontractors employed required numbers of manpower from different

disciplines. Each subcontractor employed on an average about 50-60 staffs/workers, which

includes engineers, technical persons, labors and supporting staffs for the road construction.

33. However, under the current monitoring program, the consultant monitored the labor

issues in compliance to the Labor Code of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan

whether contractors & subcontractors are following the prevailing Labor code/regulation of the

Kazakhstan Government in conjunction with the TOR of the Consultant. The major principles of

the labor legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan spelled out in Articale-4 of labor code are:

i. Inadmissibility of restrictions on human and civil rights in the sphere of labor;

ii. freedom of labor;

iii. prohibition of discrimination, forced labor and the worst forms of child labor;

iv. guaranteed right to working conditions meeting the safety and hygiene requirements;

v. priority of the life and health of the employee over the results of production activities;

vi. guaranteed right to a fair remuneration for labor not below the minimum wage;

vii. guaranteed right to rest;

viii. equality of the rights and opportunities of employees;

ix. guaranteed right of association of employees and of employers for the purpose of

protecting their rights and interests;

x. social partnership;

xi. state regulation of labor protection and labor safety; and xii. guaranteed right of employees’ representatives to exercise public control over

observance of the labour legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

4.2 Monitoring Process

34. To monitor the labor issues, consultant followed the ToR & Kazakhstan Labor Code

with considerations of the Contractor’s compliance to core labor standards, labor laws,

applicable workplace, occupational safety, gender discrimination, use of child labor, freedom of

association, employment of local poor, disadvantaged people and project affected people etc.

35. To assess the implication of the labor code, the consultant monitored the above issues

through visiting the sites and holds consultations/meeting with the contractor and

Page 29: Internal Monitoring Report on the Land Acquisition and … · 2014. 9. 29. · Kazakhstan. The Project is upgradding about 49 km road on the Almaty-Taraz highway from Aspara to Blagoveshchenka

LARP Internal Monitoring Report :Project 4 Contract L2735

subcontractors and also holds discussions with the staffs & labors in a group and individually

using a checklist of issues and open discussions. These consultations/discussions were held

covering the major principles of the labor legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan of labor

code and the TOR. Moreover, to assess the current status, consultant’s eye witness and

general observation of working environments including the living condition and other facilities of

the staffs/labors has been a useful mechanism for monitoring the issues.

4.3 Key findings of the Monitoring

36. During monitoring, consultation meetings were conducted with the contractors and

subcontractors and also with the labors/staffs employed in construction works through formal

and informal meetings in a group and individually. The consultative process aimed to obtain

required information feedback & advice from the participants i.e. Contactors & subcontractors,

labors/staffs engaged for the road construction to assess the actual scenario of the labor

issues and concerns. In sum, findings from the consultation meetings revealed generally

positive views among the workers/staffs engaged for the road construction with consideration

of getting employment, remuneration, working environment etc. However, many of the

staffs/labors are not aware about the labor code of the country. But they understand that they

might get fair salary for rendering services, minimum standard accommodation with dining and

other facilities for their living, treatment, occupational safety measure etc. Majority of the

participants reported that till now they are working in a good environment with minimum

accommodation and other facilities but some of them reported that it should be little bit

improved. They have good relation with their contractors/employer. The key findings through

monitoring process stated below:

The main contractor and subcontractors have taken initiatives to provide employment

opportunities to local community, including the poor, vulnerable households, if any and affected households from the project area.

To the extent feasible and the as per the requirement of skilled and unskilled local labor, the contractor and subcontractors have engaged about 40% local labors and remaining 40% are from the same Oblast & 20% recruited from other different parts of the country.

Care has been taken to provide employment opportunities to women, including providing them the required training to improve their skills and provide equal pay to men and women for work of equal type. Among the total staffs/labors, about 80% are male and only 20% are female

All the staffs/workers employed are aged between 19-56 years. No differences in salary and benefits among the male and female workers. No child labor involved or employed in construction works by the contractor and

subcontractors Contractor employed one medical Assistant at their office and each subcontractors at

their site offices also have one medical assistant to take care of the health issues and treatment of the employees for any casualty or illness regularly,

The staffs and labors are not briefed formally about HIV/AIDS. But the senior engineers of subcontractors sometimes awarded them about the issue. However, in consultation

Page 30: Internal Monitoring Report on the Land Acquisition and … · 2014. 9. 29. · Kazakhstan. The Project is upgradding about 49 km road on the Almaty-Taraz highway from Aspara to Blagoveshchenka

LARP Internal Monitoring Report :Project 4 Contract L2735

28 of 40

with the staffs & labors, it was revealed that mostly of them have idea & awareness about the HIV/AIDS, human trafficking and its consequences.

Staffs/workers are working for the project though are provided with accommodation,

dining facilities and other required facilities but are not standard and enough. They had to live 4 persons sharing one room and some of them complained inadequate accommodation and facilities.

They did not report any major dissatisfaction and reported that they are working in a good environment.

More or less, safe working conditions for male and female workers with safety protection instruments during working has ensured by the contractor/subcontractors; but the staffs/labors working in base plant are not with safety protection instruments especially for the temporary staffs.

The labors/staffs are not paying for overtime works The subcontractors sometimes are not paying regular basis to the staffs. There is no provision of accidental benefits for the staffs/labors. Remuneration/salary of the staffs and labors are fixed above the minimum wage rate of

Kazakhstan. None found complained about their salary structure. But many of the labors/staffs reported that they would be happy if company increases their salary.

37. It was revealed during meeting/consultations with the labors/staffs and especially with

the contractor/subcontractors that they think they complied with the local labour laws to employ

staffs for the project. They also had best efforts to employ women and local people, including

disadvantaged people, living in the vicinity of the Project and ensuring, standard salary with

other facilities, provided safe working conditions/ environments for male and female workers.

The contractors did not employ any child labour for construction and other activities. Moreover,

considering the possible presence of migrant and temporary skilled and unskilled labourers, the

contractor/subcontractors are taking proper care through time to time conducting information

and education campaigns on the risks of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS and

human trafficking, targeting construction workers at site offices. To the extent possible, the

some of the subcontractors senior staffs also disseminated information at worksites on risks of

sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS as part of their health and safety measures for

those employed in road construction activities. The more details findings also have been stated

in Annex-1 separately for contactor and each subcontractor and their labor/staffs consulted at

the sites

CHAPTER-5:

CONSULTATION AND FEEDBACK FROM THE APs & STAKEHOLDERS

5.1 Consultation Process

38. Consultation and meetings started holding with the APs, local people and

different stakeholders since 2007 (from the beginning of the project) to date at different

stages of the project activities to identify different issues, problems/constraints and

prospects and feedback from the participants in connection to the road development.

Consultation is a continuous process which requires to hold from the very beginning of

the project preparation to implementation of the project. The current

consultations/meetings conducted by the consultant are continuation of the above

consultations. All these consultations conducted were mainly covering information

dissemination about the project & its scope to local people, necessity of land

acquisition, procedures of compensation valuation for the affected land & properties,

payment of compensation, APs/local people’s opinions /feedback on different social

issues & concerns e.g.fair compensation, grievances, local demand (provision of cattle

passing facilities & other infrastructures), involvement of APs & local people in different

project activities & employment in project works.

39. However, at this stage of internal monitoring, a number of consultation meetings

were conducted at the project sites with contractors, workers/staffs, local people, Shu

Rayon Akimats including with the APs & local people in some rural villages to assess

the status of resettlement implementation i.e. progress of compensation payment,

overall impacts of the project. The findings of the above consultations revealed lots of

positive impacts in spite of a few negative impacts/concerns which have the scope of

mitigation. Table 5.1 provided with the list of meetings and consultations in different locations

of the project and offices etc.

any compensation land & destroyed top soil of these lands. As a result, it is not possible to cultivate on these lands. So, contactor should settle the issue with those landowners paying them adequate compensation.

The village Akim of Akshu reported that 17 out of the 19 APs of Akshu village received their compensation money but two APs (Mr. Agybayev Daulet & Malibekov Kakimzhan) refused to receive their compensation because they are not satisfied with that low amount of compensation offered by the CoR.

It needs further investigations interviewing the concerned APs. It might be solved following the grievance redress procedure stated in the LARP.

CHAPTER-6:

CONCLUSION

42. This current internal monitoring report may be considered an interim report, because till

date only crop and labor maintenance compensation to almost APs has been paid. But the

compensation for lease land (Cadastral Land value which has been evaluated in later stage in

2011 under a supplementary valuation program in compliance with the regulation 890 of the

Kazakhstan Government) not yet paid to any APs. Moreover, there are some APs who did not

receive compensation due to some other reasons and second year crop loss & additional

compensation to one severely affected households not yet paid. As a result, it reveals that the

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan implementation are not complete. Once all these due

compensation will be paid, consultant will be required to updating of this monitoring report

which will be treated as final.

this area are happy with the new road that will bring positive impacts in the form of increased economic activity & income, fair price & easy access/transportation of agricultural & livestock products to different local and national markets, easy access to different social services.

Another worker who is from Merke District, noted that one cattle pass is constructed (at Km 302) will be useful for one part of the village but the other parts will not be benefited. So villagers were demanding to construct another cattle pass at the other side of the village. Moreover, the cattle pass constructed is narrow and height is not sufficient to carry agricultural products & equipments by trucks. (find the name of the village)

One households living near the road reported that people are waiting for opening the road immediately being they are expecting that the road will bring improved living condition, access to different social services, create employment opportunity consequently to increase income of the people. But the only negative impact they are facing currently, difficulties to go to Merke using the old road. The new road undoubtedly will bring benefits to the people reduce significantly the distance, travel time & cost as well.
