I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. The Technical and Vocational Education and Training Sector Development Project (TVETSDP) comprises of four outputs, namely (i) output 1: increased access to TVET programs (5 sub-outputs), (ii) output 2: improved quality and relevance of the TVET system (7 sub-outputs), (iii) output 3: increased involvement of employers in technical and vocational education and training delivery (3 sub-outputs), and (iv) output 4: strengthened governance and management of TVET delivery (5 sub-outputs). 2. The infrastructures, buildings, amenities, and facilities/public utilities within the premises of selected public TVET institutions have to be upgraded with the addition of various types of new buildings. The environmental implication due to the implementation of civil works is categorized as B, therefore, environmental safeguard has to address, mainly, the environmental impacts of civil works through the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) in the updated Initial Environmental Examinations (IEE). COVID-19 managing risk and prevention has to cope with workers and staff at site implementing the civil works.

3. Regarding Involuntary Resettlement, the Project is classified as category C. The last Due Diligence Report (DDR) had been producing during August 2019. The last revised DDR had submitted to social safeguards/CARM at the end of December 2019 and endorsed by social safeguards in order to attach to the bidding documents for upgrading works of 18 public TVET institutions and proposed DGTVET multi-storey building.

4. In relation to Indigenous Peoples (IP), the Project is categorized as B (beneficial). The Project/Program has designed an Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP) in according with the four outputs of the Project/Program. Twenty-Nine (29) sub-outputs were achieved and four (4) sub-outputs are ongoing. The achievements of the four outputs are given in the IPP section/table-11. 5. The civil works related to building construction and upgrading financed by ADB and AFD have been provided in 23 public TVET institutions and DGTVET. The original ADB financing covers 13 public TVET institutions and additional financing by AFD covers 18 public TVET institutions. Table 1: Summary of Civil Works Status and Break Down by ADB and AFD Loans describe the scope of civil works, status, and building types within outputs/sub-outputs of the Project/ Program. In this semi-annual safeguards monitoring report covering the period from 1st January to 30th June 2021, civil works are being implemented in DGTVET multi-storey building. The environmental safeguards compliance relate to:

1) Women’s dormitory building in National Polytechnic Institute of Angkor (NPIA), Siem Reap;

2) Women’s dormitory in Banteay Meanchey PTC; 3) New classroom building in Battambang Institute of Technology (BIT); 4) Women’s dormitory building in Koh Kong PTC; 5) Workshop building in Koh Kong PTC; 6) COE building in BIT; 7) COE building in NPIA; 8) COE building renovation in PPI and NPIC 9) Women’s dormitory building in National Vocational Institute of Battambang (NVIB); 10) Women’s dormitory building in Kandal PTC; 11) Women’s dormitory building in Kratie PTC; 12) Workshop building in Pailin PTC; 13) Workshop building in NVIB,

14) Workshop building in Kampong Chhnang PTC; 15) Workshop building in Prey Veng PTC; 16) Workshop building in Tboung Khmum PTC; 17) Workshop building in Kratie PTC; 18) Construction of workshop at JVC; 19) Construction of workshop at Otdar Meanchey PTC; 20) Construction of workshop at Kep; 21) Construction of new building at NIEI(CIEDI)-Phnom Penh; 22) Construction of new building at Tboung Khmum PTC; and 23) Construction of new building at National Polytechnic Institute of Angkor (NPIA). 24) Upgrading works to 18 PTCs/Institutions of TVETSDP 25) DGTVET multi-storey building

6. The Skilled and unskilled workers in the campsites have used proper safety helmets, safety boot/shoes. The EMP is being implemented, including management of human waste in appropriate septic tanks/chambers, and provision of proper rubbish bins for solid waste. In addition, the COVID-19 managing risk and prevention has been taken action in line with the Ministry of Health’s measurement. 7. Since the civil works constructions are far from residents and in the premises of MoVL/DGTVET, and because of fencing enclosure, there is no complaint yet from likely affected persons/households regarding social and environmental safeguards issues as well as IPP. 8. The Project will create positive social impacts on women, indigenous peoples and the poor by increasing their access to education, thus improving their quality of life.

II. PROJECT OVERVIEW, GENERAL SAFEGUARD MATTERS

2.1. Project Overview

9. The Technical and Vocational Education and Training Sector Development Project (TVETSDP) was approved by ADB on 26 September 2014 with policy-based loan and project loan of USD30 million and co-financing from AFD of USD 15 million approved by the Board of Directors on 17 June 2015. 10. The TVETSDP is supporting the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to address equity and quality issues facing the technical vocational education and training (TVET) system through: (i) Increased access to TVET programs, particularly for women, poor or vulnerable youths, and Indigenous Peoples, (ii) Improved quality and relevance of the TVET system, (iii) Increased Involvement of Employers in TVET Delivery, and (iv) Strengthened governance and management of TVET delivery. The Project supports RGC’s commitment to the development of high-quality, Skill and capable human resources to meet the immediate and long-term needs of economic growth and socio-economic development. 11. The construction of workshops, new classrooms, women’s dormitories, center of excellence and upgrading of existing buildings as well as infrastructure/amenities provided to the 23 public TVET institutions and DGTVET have triggered in updated EMP/IEE.

Report prepared by: Site engineers and safeguards consultant Source: Summary of Safeguards-Snapshot of Project Progress

2.3. Safeguard Plans Implementation Arrangements 14. As involuntary resettlement is categorized as C, and environment is categorized as B, the EMP and Environmental Monitoring Checklists are crucial while implementing the building constructions. The awarded contractors or subcontractors have to provide site engineers to supervise and manage the construction sites daily, and ensure proper and timely implementation of EMP and Environmental Monitoring Checklists. The TVETSDP engineer consultant team is overseeing the safeguards implementation by the contractors/sub-contractors and reporting to PCU/Directorate General of Technical Vocational Education and Training (DGTVET). Corrective action has to be taken immediately if necessary. There is no external monitoring agency.

15. As the Project has classified Indigenous Peoples (IP) as category B, in terms of benefiting from the Project/Program, this document was uploading onto the ADB website since October 2015, it is not affected entities by implementing the civil work of building constructions and upgrading works. The consultant team and especially the Executing Agency (EA) and implementing agency (IA) are fully aware of the IP implementation within out puts/sub-out puts and have to be addressed them, when identified. Every output and sub-output of TVETSDP is qualified with IP targets and/or requirements. Mechanisms to increase IP enrolment in public TVET institutions have been identified by the working group of DGTVET. The outputs and sub-outputs of IPP is paralleled with general Program/project of TVETSDP with particular expertise’s responsibilities. There have been 33 sub-out puts under the projects/program implementations. Twenty-Nine (29) sub-outputs were achieved and four (4) sub-outputs are ongoing. 16. The DGTVET as the implementing agency of Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) is tasked to assign a safeguards officer to directly manage and be responsible for (i) inclusion of EMP attachments to bidding documents and other applicable contracts; (ii) implementation of EMP and EMoP during the construction, operations and maintenance activities in the public TVET institutions; (iii) review and monitor the Occupational Health and Safety Plan (OHSP), Community Health and Safety Plan (CHSP) and COVID-19 managing risk and prevention; and (iv) submission of semi-annual safeguards monitoring reports and IPP indicator implementations quarterly reports to ADB. The following table describes the responsibilities of the different agencies: Table-6: Agency’s Responsibility and Safeguards Implementation arrangement

III. ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING

3.1. Status of EMP implementation (Mitigation Measures)

3.1.1. Detailed design-construction stage:

18. Planning principles and design considerations have to be reviewed and be consistent with the Master Plan of the public TVET institutions and DGTVET multi-storey building: The final technical design of the workshops, women’s dormitory, new classroom/additional building, upgrading activities and DGTVET multi-storey building have taken into consideration the following: (i) compliance with the suggested guidelines on school building and multi-storey building facilities; (ii) construction of sanitation facilities should not be located near source of drinking water (at least 30 meters from the source of drinking water) and consistent with applicable national and international guidelines (i.e. World Health Organization’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Standards for Schools in Low-Cost Settings); and (iii) compliance with applicable rules and regulations on structural integrity of building structures.

3.1.2. Construction and operations: 19. During construction stage, the contractors have been responsible for site management including site enclosure/fencing, campsites and pollution from human waste, providing first-aid kits, occupational health and safety plan, safe water for drinking and cooking, reasonable water and sanitation. Contractors have implemented the EMPs/CEMP strictly. Oversight by site engineers included monthly environmental monitoring checklist completions. The contractors

have obtained permission from school authorities for on-site camp/shelters for workers, storage of materials and waste disposal within institutions’ campus:

20. The awarded contractors usually have informed the public TVET institutions’ director/management in order to introduce about her/his firm to undertake the construction of dorms, new classroom, workshop buildings, COE buildings, upgrading facilities (18 TTIs) and DGTVET multi-storey building in the institutions. The locations of the new construction works/buildings and DGTVET multi-storey building have been checked with the approved master plans of the Public TVET institutions and DGTVET multi-storey building within MoLV campus. They have also checked the detailed designs of the buildings. The contractors have obtained permission from the public TVET institution directors/management to install the workers’ campsites within the institutions. Rubbish bins have been provided by contractors/firms to dispose the solid waste from kitchen and the construction waste (usually less, just only cement bags and some plastic materials). Most institutions have used the services of solid waste collection by municipality/private companies and their public TVET institutions. The construction of buildings do not generate much solid waste. The buildings are normally of concrete and masonry works, which have corrugated iron fences enclosure or nylon nets enclosure fence.

o Management of construction sites: 21. After getting the permission from institutions’ director/management for installation of campsite, the contractors start the installation the workers’ campsite and warehouses for storage of construction materials have to be based on the approved CEMP. These are usually of timber/wood, planks, bamboo covered by tarpaulin or similar materials. These campsites and warehouses are of temporary nature for use during the usually short construction periods. If the public TVET institutions and DGTVET multi-storey building do not have separate toilet (water and sanitation) facilities, the contractors have built separate toilets for males and females to ensure that their construction workers are comfortable. The contractors should make separate provision for toilets for the workers so that the workers are in minimal contact with the students and staff. 22. The storage for fuel, oil and construction materials is negligible. The trucks for transportation of construction materials are also used periodically. The contractor is implementing the works as per generally established times (e.g. work during daytime 06.00 to 18.00, lunch time from 11:30 to 14:00). The contractors have installed necessary construction signs in the construction sites, as well as nylon net fencing surrounding the buildings constructions to prevent children and/or animals entering into the construction sites.

o Community and Security

23. The contractor/workers need to be aware of and all sites need to comply with the following general rules: (i) No alcohol/drugs on-site; (ii) Prevent excessive noise; (iii) No illegal activities such as, but not limited, to gambling and hunting farm animals in the area; (iv) Trespassing on private/commercial properties adjoining the site is forbidden; (v) No littering in the public TVET institutions and DGTVET multi-storey building; and (vi) Workers are not allowed to be loitering in the TVET institutions especially when there

are trainings or classes in adjacent buildings. (vii) Thermal monitoring/temperature check and testing (if any) by using infrared

thermometer for workers and staff, applying hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene and physical distancing.

o Ready construction site:

- Restoration of the area of construction sites and camps when the building construction works are completed.

- Replanting/planting of finished work areas (cut one tree replanting two trees if any). - The completion of 19-workshop buildings in 19-public TVET institutions, 6 female

dormitories buildings, 4 COEs building, 4-two storey classroom buildings and 18 public TVET institutions have been cleaned to pre-project status and no trees were cut because the buildings/upgrading works were located in the vacant lands in the premises of public TVET institutions/DGTVET multi-storey building, as per their master plan.

25. Monitoring plan: A refresher orientation program on Environment, Occupational Health and Safety, and Personal Hygiene included COVID-19 managing risk and prevention need to be conducted for new workers, site engineers, and staff of the awarded contractors to reminding them about the proper implementation of the CEMP/EMP. The awarded contractors participated in the safeguards orientation training. During this semi-annual environmental monitoring report, the site engineers together with involved staff from TVETSDP project have conducted capacity building/orientation at the construction site to workers and staff at active civil works site of DGTVET multi-storey building. 26. Monitoring activities in the reporting period: The monitoring activities have been conducted for ongoing civil works implementations of building constructions in public TVET institutions. During this reporting period, the monitoring activities have been conducted in DGTVET multi-storey building in Phnom Penh only. The TVETSDP involved officers have visited the construction site and assessed the safeguards issues which could occur during the implementation of CEMP/EMP and corrective actions have been taken. The log sheets in the construction site records the instructions to the site engineers to take actions immediately after the visits by supervising personnel, who have visited and identified safeguard issues in the construction site.

IV. INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT PERFORMANCE MONITORING

27. The resettlement categorization for this Project is categorized as C, thus there is no resettlement plan to be prepared. The project is not involved in land acquisition or involuntary resettlement as confirmed by the Due Diligence Report (DDR). The last due diligence report for 18 public TVET institutions upgrading works and the proposed DGTVET multi-storey building had been prepared during August 2019 and endorsed by social safeguards/CARM during January 2020. The institutions possess land titles certificates and/or possession certificates issued by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction and local authorities, and are registered as the properties of the Ministry of Labour, Vocational Training and are deemed to be state-owned land, designated for buildings and infrastructural development within their campuses. There are no informal or squatter settlements inside these campuses. There are no non-titled residents or vendors inside these premises. The Project will not restrict land use and/or access to legally designated parks and protected areas for the reasons described above. Thorough assessment also indicated that, there is no indigenous peoples residing within public TVET institutions’ + DGTVET multi-storey buildings’ premises and its immediate surroundings.

V. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES PERFORMANCE MONITORING

28. ADB classifies Indigenous Peoples (IP) as category B, in terms of benefiting from the Project/Program. The Indigenous Peoples Plan has been uploaded onto the ADB website since October 2015. The civil works of building constructions are not affected or entailed any of (fixed assets, livelihood/income, customary to land right, health, education, culture, traditions, worship, believe, fragmentation, access to common property/community forestry, non-timer forests products and so forth) of indigenous peoples during implementation. The consultant team and especially the Executing Agency (EA) and implementing agency (IA) are fully aware of the IP implementation within out-puts/sub-out puts and have to address any issue, when identified. Every output and sub-output of

TVETSDP is qualified with IP targets and/or requirements. Mechanisms to increase IP enrolment in public TVET institutions have been identified by the working group of DGTVET. There have been 33 sub-out puts under the projects/program implementations. Twenty-Nine (29) sub-outputs were achieved, four (4) sub-outputs are ongoing implementations. 29. The Executive Agency and Implementing Agency together with the consultant team have conducted field visits (last semi-annual report period on 25-26 June 2020 in Kratie PTC) to refresh the IPP indicators implementation and verify whether the often stated perception that IP targets are very difficult because of their cultures, traditions, languages, and isolation is true. As IPP is paralleled with general outputs of the Project, all programs and numbers of IP students have been addressed. The methodology of Training Employment Need Assessment (TENA) survey is done with the 5 IPs provinces. Mechanisms to increase IP enrolment in TVET is taking into account and discussing with primary stakeholders to find out the issues related to IPs.

30. COVID-19 pandemic, most recently, has halted for a while, the field programs and schedules for 5 IPP indicators implementations as well as entire TVETSDP project/program implementations and currently the schedules and programs have been started to implement to be successful in line with the commitment of EA/IA, to expedite disbursing finance to implementing. 31. The main sources of indigenous peoples families’ incomes are based on agricultural production and the collection of non-timber forest products. Normally, they have no savings. The social marketing campaign have been giving special attention to ‘capture’ IP students to study in the various TVET programs including SBP, VSTP, VC, CQF levels. Similarly, the internship program, SSC, COE, CQF level 2 and above courses and so forth have been paid attention to access and benefiting by IPs in the PTCs and RTCs. The following table describes the progress of IPPs’ target indicators achieved:

The SBP has been rolled out in Stung Treng and Preah Vihear in March 2021. The program in Mondulkiri has been planned in Q2/2021 but has not yet been conducted so far due to insufficient students enrolled into the program and COVID-19 pandemic.

It is recommended that the SBP in Mondulkiri has to be rolled out in the TTI’s province regardless of the number of the students to be enrolled.

2) 3.1.1. 100% of ILUs in PTCs and RTCs serving IPs provinces develop networks with ILUs in provinces with large enterprises and a large business community:

In the IP provinces, there are no large enterprises and/or business community availability. Preah Vihear had conducted a study tour in Kandal province, by sending 3 male trainees.

The plan for the internship inception between March - April 2021 has been failed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic which most of enterprises have not accepted the internship.

For Kratie, the site of the internship has been selected within the province and will be done in Aug-Sep 2021.

The internship for other 03 provinces of Ratanakiri, Mondulkiri and Stung Treng has been determined in Aug-Sep 2021 too. The internships are strongly recommended to be conducted within own province or at last option in bordering provinces.

3) At least 50% of PTCs and RTCs serving the 5 IP provinces develop ITMD strategies:

The training manual of ITMD was produced and approved, ready to deliver the training. 03 TTIs from IP provinces (Ratanakiri, Kratie, and Preah Vihear) were selected among

total 22 selected TTIs to attend the ITMD courses. The first training using video conference from 22 Feb to 02 March 2021 was conducted

and the second training which was planned from 15 to 23 March 2021 has been postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Another training will be conducted in Aug-Sep 2021 so the target will be achieved after the training.

4) Skills survey, tracer surveys, and TVET MIS modules on students and teachers have questions

on ethnicity, cultural patterns and values. The firm has been selected. The EA will work closely with the firm to ensure that the ethnicity, cultural patterns, and

values of IP will be added in the questionnaires of the survey. When the questionnaire is completed with adding these required patterns and values, this

indicator will be achieved the target indicator.

IX. CONCLUSIONS

36. There is no major issue related to the buildings construction within DGTVET multi-storey building in this semi-annual safeguards monitoring report:

o The skilled and unskilled workers in the construction sites used Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE) and implemented personal hygiene, with the provision of adequate drinking water supply and sanitation facilities, and implementation of occupational health and safety plan as well as COVID-19 managing risk and prevention.

o The contractors managed the environmental safeguards issues, however this needs regular monitoring and oversight by site engineers/consultants (employed by EA/DGTVET). The negative environmental impacts during construction phase is minor. The impacts including human waste, and solid waste generation from construction campsites, work safety and health are also not significant.

o Environmental Management System has been established for the Subprojects and for

each Contract Package. The Contractors/sub-contractors and site engineers have cooperated in environmental management plan and monthly environmental monitoring checklist completions.

o Specific activities to minimize environmental impacts during construction have been done

by the Contractors and overseen by the site engineers.

o The monitoring results showed that the impacts of construction activities related to air, noise, vibration and water are negligible.

o The Project/program involves no land acquisition or involuntary resettlement issues and

no land acquisition has been required. There is no private use right to land either temporary or permanently acquired by others private entities. The civil works under the Project/program has been implemented within DGTVET multi-storey building premise.

o Thorough assessment also indicated that no indigenous peoples is residing within DGTVET multi-storey building and their vicinity.

o The Indigenous Peoples Plan has been implementing with four outputs, equal to 33 sub-outputs under the projects/program. Twenty-Nine (29) sub-outputs were achieved and four (4) sub-outputs are ongoing implementations. COVID-19 was the obstacle to implement the program smoothly- usually the program of TVET could not mentoring online, therefore, all activities were halted and after COVID-19 pandemic restriction will be relief, it is hope to move as usual. However, the EA/PCU has set up very precise activities/plans aimed to reach the targets of the current ongoing IP indicators by the end of Q3/2021.
