I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. Cambodia’s Industrial Development Policy 2015–2025 aims for a structural transformation of the economy, from low-skilled to a skill-based and technology and knowledge-based economy. The proposed project will enhance the skills and competitiveness of Cambodia’s industrial sector labour force. It will develop human resources to work as skilled-workforce in four priority sectors, namely manufacturing, construction, electricity, and electronics. 2. The project will help transform five selected technical training institutes (TTIs) into leading technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutes in Cambodia to produce high quality technicians in the priority sectors and to respond to changing technology and industry needs. The project will also strengthen the industry’s roles and engagement in skills development, focusing on up skilling and reskilling of the existing workers. Partnership agreements will be forged with industry and TTIs to promote work-based learning (WBL) programs and expand the pilot Skills Development Fund (SDF) as an innovative TVET financing mechanism. 3. The following five technical training institutes (TTIs), 4 of which are under Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (MLVT) and 1 under of Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) into the leading technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutes in Cambodia to produce high quality technicians in the already stated priority sectors and to respond to changing technology and industry needs: (i) Battambang Institute of Technology (BIT), Battambang, MLVT. (ii) National Polytechnic Institute of Angkor (NPIA), Siem Reap, MLVT. (iii) Regional Polytechnic Institute Techno Sen of Svay Rieng (RPITSSR), Svay Rieng, MLVT. (iv) National Technical Training Institute (NTTI)/TVET Park 1 under Ministry of Labour and

Vocational Training (MLVT), MLVT. and (v) Institute De Technologie Du Cambodge (ITC) under Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports

(MoEYS).

4. This report is the semi-annual report that covers the civil work activities of the project for the period from 01 July to 31 December 2020. It periodically describes the monitoring results on the environmental and social safeguards implementation during the reporting period. The project has made remarkable progress towards achieving the outputs during the period of 1 October 2020 to 31 December of 2020. 5. The main activities completed against each output and sub-output during the reporting period. Output 1 will improve quality and industry relevance of the five selected TTIs by (i) upgrading 16 new training facilities (workshops, laboratories, classrooms, and dormitories) with gender sensitive and energy saving design features (separate dormitory floors and toilets for women and men; adequate lighting alarm system for safety; accessible design features for disabled students) where appropriate.

1 MLVT issued the Prakas on the Establishment of Phnom Penh TVET Park on 2 September 2016 (Ref.379 K.B/Br.K), and the Prakas on the Adjustment to the

Composition, Roles and Responsibilities of the TVET Park, on 3 October 2018 (Ref. 462 K.B/Br.K). ADB reviewed them and found that the Prakas does not establish

TVET Park as a legal successor of four existing TTIs (National Technical Training Institute, Preahkossamak Polytechnic Institute, National Institute of

Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Therefore, National Technical Training Institute (or any of its successor) is considered as a recipient of the project activities under

the loan agreement. All the investments planned for National Technical Training Institutes under the project will be managed for common purposes of four

technical training institutes under TVET Park.

III. ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE MONITORING

3.1. Status of EMP implementation (Mitigation Measures)

Detailed design-construction stage: 29. In general, the site management involves many tasks including site investigation before the start of the construction, material delivery and procurement management, keeping better site records, keeping good site communication and high level of information flow, regularly monitoring performance, establishing a well-coordinated system among stakeholders, and performing a good site planning. 30. The contractors are required to strictly follow the EMP guidelines in order to protect workers from the harmful environmental including: (i) Identifying qualified safety persons, (ii) Making regular job site safety inspections, (iii) Enforcing the use of safety equipment/ PPE, (iv) Following safety procedures and rules at the sites, (v) Providing an on-going safety training and (iv) Enforcing safety rules and using appropriate disciplines.

19

Construction and operations: 31. 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 implemented the EMPs strictly, oversight by site engineers included monthly environmental monitoring checklist completions.

o Permits or agreement for obtaining the campsite installation and construction waste disposal within institutions’ campus:

32. The awarded contractors usually have informed the institutions’ director/management in order to introduce about her/his firm to undertake the construction of classroom, workshop and dormitories buildings, COE buildings in the institutions, includes showing the master plan of institution and showing the detailed designs of the buildings, the contractors have requested the institution directors/management to obtain the permission to install the campsite 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 used the system of dumping and burning solid waste within their institutions; few institutions used the system of solid waste collection by municipality/private companies.

33. After getting the permission from institutions’ director/management for installation of campsite, the contractor starts installation the common camps and warehouses. This is just temporary shelter for construction workers in short period of times. At the same time the contractor is building the temporary toilet for both male and female to ensure their construction workers are comfortable. 34. The contractors have to plan the construction activities in such a way to minimize disturbances to residents, utilities and services. Temporary land occupation will be planned well ahead of construction to minimize its impact. Land will be reinstated to its original coordination after construction. Implementing safety measures around the construction sites were done to protect, including warning signs to alert the public to potential safety hazards, and barriers to prevent public access to construction sites. 35. The contractor is implementing of works at the established time (e.g. work during daytime 07.00 am to 04.00 pm, lunch time from 11:00 to 13:30). Installation of necessary construction signs in construction sites includes nylon net fencing surround buildings constructions to prevent children and/or animal enters into the site camp.

Apply recommendations

and best practices from MOH to construction site procedures

Establish and maintain a

common Covid-19 pandemic response plan across construction sites such as employers, managers, workers, contractors, customers and visitors, include the following:

Regular and thorough

hand washing with soap and water or hand hygiene with alcohol-based hand-rub before starting work, before eating, frequently during the work shift, especially after contact with co-workers or customers, after going to the bathroom, after contact with secretions, excretions and body fluids, after contact with potentially contaminated objects (gloves, clothing, masks, used tissues, waste), and immediately

after removing gloves and other protective equipment but before touching eyes, nose, or mouth.

Hand hygiene stations, such as hand washing and hand rub dispensers, should be put in prominent places around the workplace and be made accessible to all staff, contractors, clients or customers, and visitors along with communication materials to promote hand hygiene.

Ensure that medical face masks and paper tissues are available at the workplace, for those who develop a runny nose or cough at work, along with bins with lids for hygienic disposal.

If a worker is sick, they should not come to work. If a member of staff or a worker feels unwell while at work, provide a medical mask so that they may get home safely. Where masks are used, whether in line with government policy or by personal choice, it is very important to ensure safe and proper use, care and disposal.

Physical distancing: introduce measures to keep a distance of at least 1 meter between people and avoid direct physical contact with other persons (i.e. hugging, touching, shaking hands), strict control over external access, queue management (marking on the floor, barriers)

Reduce density of people in the building (no more than 1 person per every 10 square meters),

Workers returning from an area where Covid-19 transmission is occurring should monitor themselves for symptoms for 14 days and take their temperature twice a day; if they are feeling unwell, they should stay at home, self-isolate, and contact a medical professional.

Enhanced hand hygiene – regular hand washing with soap and water or use of alcohol-based hand rub, including before entering and after leaving enclosed machinery, vehicles, confined spaces, and before putting on and after taking off personal protective equipment;

Provide personal protective equipment and training on its proper use – e.g. masks, disposable gowns, disposable gloves or heavy-duty gloves that can be disinfected. Provide face or eye protection (medical mask, face shields, or goggles) during cleaning procedures that generate splashes (e.g. washing surfaces).

Provide posters to increase awareness of COVID-19 among workers and promote safe individual practices at the workplace, engage workers in providing feedback on the preventive measures and their effectiveness.

Use the temperature measurement tool to check up the temperature before someone enter into the construction site. (if the heat is from 80 degree will not allow them to

There must be no discrimination in the access of workers to protective measures for prevention of COVID-19. Refugee and migrant workers should have equal access to personal protective equipment as well as to COVID-19 prevention, treatment and care, referral, rehabilitation, social protection, and occupational health services, including mental health and psychosocial support. Special efforts should be taken to prevent social stigma of workers suspected of being infected, infected with, or recovered from COVID-19.

Provide proper accommodation for workers, without allowing workers to stay in the construction site

Concern of building collapse

The contractor has to set up the camp outside or nearby the construction areas. All the works will not allow to stay inside the building which under the construction. This protecting from any risk of the building collapse.
