Social Monitoring Report (January to June 2014)

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background

1. Bangladesh has a population of approximately 152 million and has experienced increased rapid urbanization with the growth of many secondary towns over the last three decades. About 27 per cent of the total population now lives in urban areas where the population growth rate is much higher than the overall national growth rate. Varied economic activities, availability of social services, greater employment opportunities, and geographic expansion of towns are the main reasons for rural-urban migration and the increase in urban population. The current size and structure of urban population in secondary towns has increased the demand for infrastructure and services beyond the existing physical and institutional capacity, reducing the effectiveness of poverty reduction strategies and public confidence in local government.

2. The Government of Bangladesh (GOB) has undertaken the Second Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement (Sector) Project (UGIIP-2) with financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) (Loan No. 2462 BAN (SF) together with co-financing from KfW and GIZ to improve governance and urban service provision in 35 municipalities. These municipalities include : Sunamganj, Srimangal and Golapganj in Sylhet Division; Sreepur, Mirzapur, Ghorashal, Munshiganj, Jamalpur, Mymenshingh, Patgram, Faridpur in Dhaka Division; Brahmanbaria, Comilla, Chandpur, Parshuram, Noakhali, Chowmuhani, and Cox’s Bazar in Chittagong Division; Jhenaidah, Narail, Benapole, Satkhira, and Bagerhat in Khulna Division, Thakurgaon, Kurigram, Rangpur, Dinajpur , Nachol, Sirajganj, Nator and Gaibandha in Rajshahi Division; and Jhalakati, Bhola, Barguna and Kolapara in Barisal Division (Figure 1& 2).

3. Infrastructure investment in 12 municipalities in Rajshahi and Dhaka Divisions (Mymensingh, Faridpur, Sreepur, Jamalpur, Rangpur, Thakurgaon, Natore, Dinajpur, Kurigram, Gaibandha, Sirajganj, and Mirzapur) have been provided by KfW. The remaining 35 municipalities have been funded by the ADB.

4. GIZ is providing technical assistance in implementing design in four Pourashavas; Mymensingh, Sreepur, Jamalpur and Mirzapur, for the Urban Governance Improvement Action Program (UGIAP), and will develop training modules and manuals to be used for implementation of the overall project.

5. In 3rd phase 4 Pourashavas are dropped from the original program based on their performance in phase-2 and due to change of status of some pourashava. In Rangpur Division Rangpur and Dinajpur Pourashava has been dropped out of which Rangpur Pourashava has become a city corporation and Dinajpur could not perform well in phase-2. In Chittagong Division Comilla become a city corporation and was dropped and and Bagerhat in Khulna Division was dropped based on performance. Moreover 16 (Sixteen) Pourashava are included in project program. These Pourashavas are Dhanbari, Gopalganj, Madaripur, Madhabpur, Kakanhat, Pabna, Nilphamari, Patgram, Kushtia, Chuadanga, Bandarban, Haziganj, Basurhat, Khagrachari, Lalmohan and Patuakhali. So, Phase-3 now includes a total 47 Pourashavas all over the country.

B) Project purpose

The overall objective of the Project is the construction, rehabilitation, expansion and implementation of subprojects of essential existing infrastructure and utility facilities for the urban sector of Bangladesh; to develop a well structured augmentation/rehabilitation program and implement according to prioritization. This will improve governance and develop the capacity of municipalities; creating training and facilities to effectively support reform activities of municipalities including creating citizen awareness, urban planning, integration of the urban poor, financial accountability, administrative transparency, etc. The project used the strategy of ‘performance allocation’ of investment funds to generate strong incentives for individual municipalities to achieve good performance.

UGIIP-II will improve infrastructure through the design and implementation of road, water supply, sanitation, drainage, solid waste management, and municipal facilities subprojects.

The Project is expected to enhance sustainable human development, economic growth and poverty reduction by enhancing municipal governance and strengthening capacity to deliver municipal services and improving physical infrastructure and urban services in 47 secondary towns in Bangladesh. The expected outcomes will be (i) enhanced capacity of Pourashavas to implement, operate, manage and maintain basic urban services; (ii) increased accountability of Pourashavas towards their citizens; and (iii) improved physcial infrastructure and urban services.

Project Types Identified for Implementation

Infrastructure subprojects proposed under UGIIP-2 encompass a variety of types of urban infrastructure and services including those shown in Table 1.

No direct cumulative or regional potential negative impact of the project activities on social and values was detected.

C4. Land Acquisition

29. UGIIP-II is implementing as a sector project which aims to cover 47 Pourashavas (secondary towns). The subprojects in UGIIP–II eligible for loan assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB) include roads, bridges, water supply, low cost sanitation, solid waste management and town center development as well as public markets and the upgrading of low-income communities. Project implementation is divided in three phases over the period of 6 years. In Phase 2 when infrastructure improvement works has started. Eligible subprojects shall have different area requirements and there are chances that land acquisition would take place in their locations. In order to minimize land acquisition and resettlement, the LGED has adopted the following measures for compliance by the Pourashavas:

Utilization of existing lands for the rehabilitation of public markets, upgrading of low-

income communities, water supply and distribution, and town centre development;

19

Social Monitoring Report (January to June 2014)

Community consensus on the location of sanitary latrines and deep wells;

Realignment of rights-of-way for community roads and bridges to achieve minimum

impacts on houses and structures;

Vacant Pourashava lands will be utilized for solid waste management that will not pose

health hazards to human settlements. The Local Land Registration Office (LLRO) under the Office of the Deputy Commissioner has assisted in verifying the status of ownership on lands to be acquired following the request from the PMO. The ownership can be ascertained with the use of cadastral maps that show the subproject area boundaries marked on lots that would be affected. The LLRO identified the Affected Persons who have holding numbers, those whose applications are being processed in their office, and those who have lease agreement with any government agency and/or legitimate land owners. Such assistance will be very useful for PIUs in knowing the APs that shall receive compensation for the land. Status of land acquisition in UGIIP-2 up to 30th has June 2014 given in table-3.

33.Category- A: Subprojects proposed for construction or development, will fall under this category, if, it caused a significant involuntary resettlement impacts with a physical displacement of 200 or more persons from their residences, or 200 or more persons lose 10% or more of their productive or income generating assets, or more persons or

200 or more persons experience a combination of both.

34. Category- B: Any proposed subproject that includes involuntary resettlement impacts but are not deemed significant considering loss of shelter/houses or productive or income generating assets will be considered for category B.

35. Category- C: A proposed subproject that has no involuntary resettlement impact.

D2. Subprojects Categorization under UGIIP-2

36. The UGIIP-2 project is classified as category B for involuntary resettlement and category B for indigenous peoples in considerations of the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement. However, many of the Subprojects selected for implementation though fall into Category B but during implementation it was found that for which Category C applies, since these are likely to have minimal or no adverse Involuntary Resettlement (IR) impacts or if any, are not considered significant. Most land parcels are owned by local governments; o r Willingness to donate land/non-land assets for the project by people.

37. However, some subprojects, if require any minor land acquisition and involuntary resettlement involving either physical or economic displacement, restrictions to land use that will be duly complied with the IR and SPS of ADB.

38. Land Acquisitions in the project is being carried out as per ‘market rate’ compensation decided by the DC office. As per Resettlement Framework of UGIIP 2, the project should consider independent assessment of cost of land to be acquired and replacement cost of land should be paid as compensation. The ‘top up’ payment should be paid to the affected person(s) as project assistance.

D3. Compliance of Safeguard report submission

Summary status of safeguard assessment reports (as on 30.06.2014)

39. Safeguard reports are being submitted along with the technical reports of the subprojects to PMO for onward submission to KfW and ADB. Status of safeguard reports has been given in the following table 4 and Figures 19(a) and 19 (b).

Social Monitoring Report (January to June 2014)

IV. COMPLIANCE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES SAFEGUARD

44. Safeguard Requirements 3 outlines the requirements that borrowers/clients are required to meet in delivering Indigenous Peoples safeguards to projects supported by ADB. It specifies the requirements pertaining to –

Undertaking the social impact assessment and planning process; Preparing social impact assessment reports and planning documents; Disclosing information and undertaking consultation, including ascertaining

consent of affected Indigenous Peoples community to selected project activities;

Establishing a grievance mechanism; and Monitoring and reporting.

45. UGIIP-II is being implemented as a sector loan and originally covered 35 pourashavas (secondary towns) that was later increased to cover 47 pourashavas during implementation. Among the districts where these 47 pourashavas are located, possibility of affecting indigenous people occurs in Khagrachari, Banadarban and Mymensing districts. However, it may be mentioned that the subprojects under UGIIP-II in these districts are located only within the urban area and do not impact any cluster/habitation area where indigenous people reside. However, to ensure that indigenous people are not adversely impacted by the project, UGIIP-II undertook screening of all the subprojects adopting a screening checklist before start of any project work in all the 47 pourashavas. Compliance to the above specific requirements for addressing Indigenous Peoples safeguard issues in the project has been carried out as under:

Undertaking the social impact assessment and planning process

46. The planning process for identification of subprojects for inclusion in UGIIP-II followed a participatory approach with parallel activities: consultations, socioeconomic surveys, and initiation of Pourashava Development Plan (PDP) by means of open and facilitated ward level coordination committee (WLCC) and town level coordination committee (TLCC) visioning and planning meetings where potential schemes in each sector were proposed and discussed. The visioning and planning workshops included participants from the communities directly affected by the proposed schemes, members of ward committees, representatives of local NGOs, and representatives of local government agencies. The PDP process is well documented for each of the 47 pourashavas under UGIIP-II.

Preparing social impact assessment reports and planning documents

47. Under UGIIP-II all subprojects were screened for their impact on indigenous people using a screening checklist (attached in Appendix 1). Social Assessment Reports was

36

Social Monitoring Report (January to June 2014)

prepared for each sector (roads, bridges, water supply, low cost sanitation, solid waste management, drainage and other municipal services such as market, slaughterhouse and bus terminal etc.), subprojects were categorized as per ADB norm and SRPs were prepared wherever necessary.

Disclosing information and undertaking consultation, including ascertaining consent of affected Indigenous Peoples community to selected project activities

48. In addition to the consultations held during project selection as part of PDP, detailed consultations were held with local community while carrying out screening of the subprojects. Participants in these consultations included local community representatives, other community members/local residents including women participants.

Establishing a grievance mechanism

49. Each participating pourashava has grievance redress committee headed by the mayor for redressal of any grievances due to the project. Each of the 47 pourashavas have complaint boxes accessible to all to receive complaints/grievances.

Monitoring and reporting.

50. Monitoring Reports by the safeguard team in the project is being submitted every month highlighting safeguard issues during the screening, implementation and operation stages.

37

Social Monitoring Report (January to June 2014)

V. SOCIAL UNIT AND MANAGEMENT

51. Social issues of the project is coordinated by a safeguard Specialist within the PMO, who ensures that all subprojects, comply with social safeguards. A social team that is part of the MDS team implements the Social issues and RP Plan from each SRP to ensure that mitigation measures are provided and protect the environment as intended. Figure 20 shows institutional responsibility for implementation of environmental safeguard monitoring at different level.

52. SRP shows that most of the mitigation activities are the responsibility of the PIU. Responsibility for the relevant measures assigned to the PIU and Contractors via the contracts through which they are appointed, so they legally required taking the necessary action. There are also some actions that need to be taken by LGED/ PMO in their role as project proponent, and some actions related to the design that would be implemented by the MDS consultant

53. A program of monitoring would be conducted to ensure that all parties take the specified action to provide the required mitigation, to assess whether the action has adequately protected the environment, and to determine whether any additional measures may be necessary. This would be conducted by a qualified Resettlement specialist (RS) from the MDS. The RS is responsible for all monitoring activities and reporting the results and conclusions to the social team, and recommend remedial action if measures are not being provided or are not protecting the people interest. Social team will report the same to the MDS team leader who will in turn inform PMO. PMO is responsible for taking action against the contractor and the implementing pourashava.

54. RPs will be required preparation for new subprojects having involuntary resettlement involving land acquisition and physical or economic displacement of people, if any. The RPs to be prepared for the new subprojects in accordance with the approved RF and RPs prepared under the PPTA, as required. The RF already sets out the requirements for payment, compensation, income restoration and relocation, consultation, participation and disclosure and the grievance redress mechanism. The IPU and PMO ensures that any physically or economically displaced persons will be compensated prior to commencement of civil works of subprojects where applicable, following the approved RP/safeguard documents to be prepared by the MDS consultants. However, the entitlement matrix included in the RF prepared and approved by ADB is working as the basis for estimation of compensation and payment for the affected properties and income loss to the DPs/APs and which, to be followed during preparation of new RPs for the subprojects requires/involves land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitations of the affected people are as follows.

VI. IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF MITIGATION MEASURES

55. At present there are 360 sub-projects under phase 2 have been awarded to the contractors. Major field activities are ongoing for 30 sub-projects in phase-2 and 103 subprojects in phase-3. SRP has been implemented in all subprojects as per SRP report. The detail mitigation measures against impacts on air, water, and soil environment and safety aspects has been implemented as per SRP in almost all the pourashavas. As presented in table 4 earlier, there is no outstanding submission of safeguard reports in terms of SSA report IEE and EIA report. Compliance status of SRP was assessed based on the checklist as in annexure -1 of this report

VII. SOCIAL IMPACT AND SRP MONITORING

56. Social impact and SRP monitoring up to June 2014 for Phase 2 and Phase 3 projects has been given in Annexure-2 (a) and 2(b) respectively of this report

VIII. COMPENSATION

57. For the social impacts, each subproject is screened to assess the likely impacts, categorised as

either ‘Category B’ or ‘Category C’1 and depending on the requirement a short Resettlement Plan

(SRP) is prepared to address the negative impacts as per the approved Resettlement Framework. It

has been observed in a large number of subprojects that the impacts are limited to removal of a few

trees, temporary/permanent boundary walls, shifting of business activities during the construction

period and the like. Subsequent to identification of the impacts through the screening exercise,

socio-economic surveys of the affected persons have been conducted to address the negative

impacts and the costs towards compensation as well as other assistances have been estimated in

the short RP. Because of the priority need for the proposed subprojects, there have been instances

where the local community have been forthcoming in voluntarily removing the structure/assets to

facilitate their implementation. In such cases, written consent of the affected person(s)/ local

community and the respective pourashava officials have been documented. Where necessary, the

SSA reports also included Short Resettlement Plans (SRPs) that identified the APs and the

compensation/assistance to be paid to the APs. Total compensation paid under this project is BDT 33,516.00. Details are provided in Annexure 2 (a) and 2 (b). This money has been paid mostly for shifting/removal of trees, tea stall, shops etc from the project alignments.

IX. PUBLIC CONSULTATION DURING SOCIAL IMPACT AND SRP MONITORING

58. Public consultation during Social Impact and SRP monitoring has been given in Annexure- 3 of this report .

1 As a policy matter Category A subproject that are likely to impact more than 200 PAPs are not to be included under UGIIP 2

Program.

X. ORIENTATION CUM TRAINING PROGRAMMES

59. The Safeguard team of UGIIP II organised orientation cum training programmes on implementation of safeguard issues during design, construction and operation stage of the project for the PIU and contractor staffs and Municipal Engineers. To cover all the 47 pourashavas, nine training programmes were planned where participants were invited from 4/5 pourashavas at one regional venue. Summary of the proposed training programmes and the status as of 30th June 2014 is provided in Annexure-4. A separate report on orientation cum training programmes conducted up to 30th June, 2014 has been submitted to PMO.

XI. MAJOR PROJECT ISSUES AND PROBLEMS

60. Field activity of the sub-projects under UGIIP-2 is under progress. Till date no as such major issues and problems arise at the project locations.

XII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

61. For protection of local environment during construction phase measures for minimising social impacts are being implemented as per specified in SRP. Pubic consultation during construction/implementation phase has been carried out. The issues and public opinion are shown in Annexure 4.

62. As per ADB’s new safeguard policy the project authority will establish a mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of affected persons’ concerns, complaints and grievances about the project’s environmental performance. The grievances mechanism should be scaled to the risks and adverse impacts of the project. It will be addressed affected peoples’ concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to all the affected people at no cost and without retribution. The affected people will be informed by appropriate mechanism.

63. During implementation process performance monitoring fact sheet will be prepared against each possible social impacts and which will be attached with the monitoring report.
