EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Background. After the successful implementation of the First and Second Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Projects (UGIIP-1 and 2)1 in 77 elected pourashavas, the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) within the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (MLGRDC) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have planned to implement the third phase of the project. The Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Project (UGIIP III) was initially proposed to be implemented in selected 30 pourashavas over a period of 7 years (2014 to 2021). Implementation of the subprojects is spread over 3 phases covering the entire 7-year project implementation period. Five new pourashavas were added to the list in 2016, under proposed additional financing for UGIIP-3, including Cox’s Bazar, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Kustia and Mymensingh. The impact will be improved quality of life and living environment in project towns. The outcome will be improved municipal service delivery and urban governance in project towns. A sector-lending approach will be used for the project as it has been successful in UGIIP-1 and 2. LGED and Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) are the executing agencies of the project. Subproject Description. Proposed subproject components in Gopalganj in Phase 2 of UGIIP-3 will include 29 sub-projects comprising of roads and drains under 8 separate contract packages. Land acquisition for solid waste management is proposed in Phase 2, and construction of landfill facility proposed in Phase 3 of UGIIP-3. The subprojects to be implemented meet the selection criteria (general and technical), underwent environmental and social safeguard screening and conform to the master plan prepared for Gopalganj.2 Resettlement Plan. This draft Resettlement Plan for Gopalganj pourashava is prepared for contract packages (i) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT-01/2017; UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/DR-01/2017; (ii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-01/2017; (iii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-02/2017; (iv) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-03/2017; (v) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-04/2017; (vi) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-05/2017; and (vii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-06/2017 proposed for implementation in Phase 2 of UGIIP-3 – additional financing. It also covers potential involuntary resettlement impacts of the proposed solid waste landfill, for which a separate due diligence report is prepared. This draft RP is based on ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009, and Government of Bangladesh laws. This draft RP will be updated during detailed design based on detailed measurement surveys, and also in case of any changes and latest subproject designs. Safeguard document for Phase 3 works are also prepared as per agreed Resettlement Framework. Scope of Land Acquisition and resettlement. The scope of land acquisition and resettlement

1 The Government of Bangladesh with the assistance of ADB has introduced a system whereby funds/loans for

development are disbursed in a phased manner based on the successful accomplishment by the recipient pourashavas of a set of performance-criteria in the area of urban governance. UGIIP I and II reflect this approach which aims to incentivize participating pourashavas to become well-managed and maintained towns in a sustainable way through systems of governance ensuring citizen’s participation and inclusion of women, poor and the minority groups in pourashava activities. UGIIP I targeted for 30 and UGIIP II 47 pourashavas. The subprojects were (i) watersupply (ii) sanitation, (iii) solid waste management, (iv) urban drainage, (v) urban transport & communication and (vi) public use facilities.

2 Master plans are prepared under LGED’s District Towns Infrastructure Development Project and Urban Towns Infrastructure Development Project

is identified based on subproject selection and field visits to each site and/or alignment. The identified potential involuntary resettlement impacts based on the subproject designs include:

(i) for road widening/improvement and drainage improvements: land donation by 122 landowners (59.43 decimals); major structure loss (shop/house) to 78 private structure owners (391 family members), minor structure loss to 57 private owners (267 family members) and 3 government departments/institutions, and only land loss to 8 private land owners/donors (35 family members). Majority of structure owners have additional land on which they can reestablish structures. A total of 19 APs face relocation, of which 11 APs (63 family members) have additional land of their own nearby for relocation, and 8 APs (46 family members) who do not possess additional/adequate land shall require assistance to relocate to rented/leased premises nearby. ADB SPS, 2009 makes it obligatory to endorse any land donation by an independent third party evaluator (e.g. an eminent citizen of the pourashava linked to an institution), to ensure there is no significant social and economic impact due to land donation. Temporary income loss is anticipated for all APs facing loss of major structures (30 days each), minor structures (10 days each) and trees (2 days each). Loss of 2251 trees to government and private owners is also anticipated.

(ii) Acquisition of 9.71 acres (about 10.00 acres) of private land is proposed for the landfill site, affecting 17 landowners (having 106 family members), of whom 9 landowners (with 64 family members) are below poverty line as per their stated income. Apart from loss of private land to the 17 landowners, resettlement impacts such as crop loss and agriculture-based income loss (potential partial loss of agricultural income – 1 crop per annum) are anticipated, which are addressed in the RP for Gopalganj prepared for subprojects under UGIIP-3.

Categorization. The roads and drainage subproject components proposed for implementation in Phase 2 of UGIIP 3 and the solid waste component proposed for implementation in Phase 3 of UGIIP 3 are classified as Category B in accordance with ADB SPS, 2009. ADB’s SPS covers both temporary and permanent impacts to both titled and non-titled persons, and includes both physical and economic displacement. Consultation and Disclosure. Goals and objectives of the project have been disclosed with the affected people and other stakeholders through a total of 28 FGDs and one consultation during July-August 2016. The project cut-off date will be established during implementation and formal disclosure of the RP. Institutional Setup. LGED and DPHE are the executing agencies of the project. Implementation activities will be overseen by a Project Management Office (PMO). The participating pourashavas are the implementing agencies (IA), with a project implementation unit (PIU) within the pourashava structure. Consultant teams3 will provide support (during project implementation) for (i) detailed engineering design, contract documents preparation and safeguards facilitation; (ii) project management and administration support; (iii) assistance in supervising construction; (iii) strengthening of local governance, conducting required studies/surveys and (iv) awareness raising on behavioral change activities. Safeguards officers will be appointed in PMO and PIUs and will be responsible to undertake day to day safeguards tasks and requirements including implementation of project’s grievance redress mechanism. 3 Consultant teams are composed of Management Design and Supervision Consultants (MDSC) and Governance

Improvement and Capacity Development Consultants (GICDC).

Resettlement Budget and Financing Plan. Land acquisition and resettlement cost for Phase 2 roads and drainage components and Phase 3 solid waste landfill in Gopalganj is an estimated USD 1.35 million, to be met from counterpart (government) funds.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Introduction

1. Background. After the successful implementation of the First and Second Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Projects (UGIIP-1 and 2)4 in 77 selected pourashavas, the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) within the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (MLGRDC) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have planned to implement the third phase of the project titled the Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Project (UGIIP III) in selected 30 pourashavas over a period of 7 years (2014 to 2021). The implementation of the subprojects are spread over 3 phases5 covering the entire 7-year project implementation period. 2. The impact will improve living environment in project towns. The outcome will improve municipal service delivery and urban governance in project towns. Project towns are pre-selected 30 towns to be supported in an integrated manner under the project. 3. A sector-lending approach will be used for the project as it has been well established and successfully practiced in the UGIIP-1 and 2. 4. This draft RP is based on Government of Bangladesh’s Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance, 1982 (ARIPO) and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 requirements for IR category B projects. It also refers to the approved Resettlement Framework of UGIIP 3. This RP is based on a 100% census and socio-economic survey of affected persons for the identified roads and drainage subprojects under contract packages (i) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT-01/2017; UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/DR-01/2017; (ii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-01/2017; (iii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-02/2017; (iv) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-03/2017; (v) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-04/2017; (vi) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-05/2017; and (vii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-06/2017 proposed for implementation in Phase 2 of UGIIP-3 – additional financing. It also covers potential involuntary resettlement impacts of the proposed solid waste landfill, for which a separate due diligence report is prepared. During detailed design and in case of any design or alignment changes or changes in components/works packages prior to implementation, this RP will have to be updated as per approved Resettlement Framework. B. Proposed Subproject Components

5. The complete list of sub-projects in Gopalganj in Phase 2 and 3 include 29 sub-projects comprising of roads and drains under 8 separate packages and a solid waste management landfill site. The detailed list of the sub-projects with summary of IR impacts is provided in the Table 1. Some of the roads and drains will involve repairs of the existing structures and in quite a large number of cases, improvement or widening. This will require substantial amount of private land which, in this case, will mean that the land owners (majority are titleholders) will allow the usage

4 The Government of Bangladesh with the assistance of ADB has introduced a system whereby funds/loans for

development are disbursed in a phased manner based on the successful accomplishment by the recipient pourashavas of a set of performance-criteria in the area of urban governance. UGIIP I and II reflect this approach which aims to incentivize participating pourashavas to become well-managed and maintained towns in a sustainable way through systems of governance ensuring citizen’s participation and inclusion of women, poor and the minority groups in pourashava activities. UGIIP I targeted for 30 and UGIIP II for 47 pourashavas. The subprojects were (i) watersupply (ii) sanitation, (iii) solid waste management, (iv) urban drainage, (v) urban transport & communication and (vi) public use facilities

5 Implementation of UGIIP III is split up into 3 phases: (i) 1st phase = 18 months or 1.5 years; (ii) 2nd phase = 30 months or 2.5 years; and (iii) 3rd phase = 24 months or 2 years.

of their land for the purpose of civil construction for the sub-projects. The land owners, for this purpose, have all agreed to sign on a ‘no objection certificate’ to the pourasava with a separate certificate by a third-party neutral witness. The photo documentation of all the sub-projects is attached in Appendix 1. 6. As regards the proposed SWM landfill site, this is actually considered for the Phase 3, however, is included in the phase 2 for survey works in order to expedite its implementation in the subsequent phase. A separate “Due diligence Report” (DDR) from this RP is developed for this purpose. Figures 1, 2 and 3 show the location map of Gopalganj pourashava, alignment of roads and drainage facilities on Google maps as per detailed design. 7. The subprojects to be implemented went through the process of meeting the selection criteria (general and technical), environmental and social safeguard screening6. Locations and siting of the proposed infrastructures considered: (i) locating components on government-owned land and/or within existing right-of-way (ROW) to reduce acquisition of land, (ii) prioritizing rehabilitation over new construction; (iii) taking all possible measures in design and selection of sites to avoid resettlement impacts; (iv) avoiding where possible locations that will result in destruction/disturbance to historical and cultural places/values; (v) avoiding tree-cutting where possible; and (vi) ensuring all planning and design interventions and decisions are made in consultation with local communities and reflecting inputs from public consultation and disclosure for site selection.

6 Master plans have been or are being prepared under LGED’s District Towns Infrastructure Development Project and

Urban Towns Infrastructure Development Project.

Solid Waste Management: Landfill

Scheme ID

Description of the Scheme Remarks

Phase 2: Land acquisition for landfill site. Phase 3: Construction of Integrated Landfill and Resource Recovery Facility

Land acquisition (about 10 acres) will be required, affecting 17 landowners (having 106 family members), of whom 9 landowners (with 64 family members) are below poverty line as per their stated income. Seasonal sharecroppers (different people who enter into sharecropping agreements with a few landowners every year) are likely to find similar lands elsewhere for sharecropping/cultivation and are not likely to be permanently affected. Any existing sharecroppers during detailed measurement surveys shall be compensated as per the project entitlement matrix. Apart from loss of private land to the 17 landowners, resettlement impacts such as crop loss and agriculture-based income loss (potential partial loss of agricultural income – 1 crop per annum) are anticipated. Potential loss of employment to the pourashava’s existing conservancy staff will be avoided through provision of training and redeployment of such staff in the proposed facilities. Draft Due Diligence Report prepared for proposed landfill; to be updated post DMS surveys, prior to start of construction. Compensation for IR impacts provided for in this RP prepared for Gopalganj,

for identified Phase 2 and 3 subprojects.

Note: Other components under solid waste management involving civil works, if any will be similarly assessed for IR impacts during DMS surveys/RP and DDR updating, and ADB approval obtained on the revised RP/DDR prior to start of construction.

C. Objectives of the Resettlement Plan

8. This Resettlement Plan (RP) for Gopalganj pourashava is based on the feasibility study and detailed engineering designs under Phase I prepared during project preparation. Subsequent phases may require preparation of new RPs as per approved resettlement framework (RF). 9. This RP is based on Government of Bangladesh’s Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance, 1982 (ARIPO) and ADB SPS, 2009 requirements for IR Category B projects. It is consistent with the RF for UGIIP III and has been prepared to meet the following objectives:

(i) to describe the identified scope and extent of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement impacts as a result of identified project components, and address them through appropriate recommendations and mitigation measures in the RP;

(ii) to present the socio-economic profile of the population in the project area, identify social impacts, including impacts on the poor and vulnerable, and the needs and priorities of different sections of the population, including women, poor and vulnerable;

(iii) to describe the likely economic impacts and identified livelihood risks of the proposed project components;

(iv) to describe the process undertaken during project design to engage stakeholders and the planned information disclosure measures and the process for carrying out consultation with affected people and facilitating their participation during project implementation;

(v) to establish a framework for grievance redressal for affected persons (APs) that is appropriate to the local context, in consultation with stakeholders;

(vi) to describe the applicable national and local legal framework for the project, and define the IR policy principles applicable to the project;

(vii) to define entitlements of affected persons, and assistance and benefits available under the project;

(viii) to present a budget for resettlement and define institutional arrangements, implementation responsibilities and implementation schedule for resettlement implementation; and

(ix) to describe the monitoring mechanism that will be used to monitor resettlement plan implementation.

II. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

10. The scope of land acquisition and resettlement is identified based on subproject selection, field visits and census survey of each alignment of the proposed Phase 2 roads and drainage and to the landfill site, proposed for construction under Phase 3 of UGIIP-3. As regards the SWM landfill site, this was done through field visits and socio-economic surveys, details of which are provided in the DDR developed separately from this RP. 11. Detailed designs of the proposed infrastructures considered the following to reduce land acquisition and resettlement impacts: (i) locating components on government-owned land and/or within existing right of way (ROW), (ii) prioritizing rehabilitation over new construction, (iii) avoiding where possible locations that will result in destruction/disturbance to historical and cultural places/values, (iv) avoiding tree-cutting where possible; and (v) ensuring all planning and design interventions and decisions are made in consultation with local communities and reflecting inputs from public consultation and disclosure for site selection. As a result, some measures have already been included in the subproject designs. 12. The identified IR impacts for roads and drainage subprojects arise from the pourasava’s decision to widen a number of existing narrow lanes to paved all weather motorable roads and as well as construction or repair of drains that affect current standing structures. During consultations, the public appeared to be very supportive to the pourasava’s initiative as this will raise the standard of civic amenities in the pourasava and all those consulted agreed to donate their land (strips of land) for this purpose. The residents themselves perceive the need for provision of access to fire engines and ambulances when required, in the narrow lanes. However, they all requested adequate compensation for the dismantling of the current standing structures. 13. The pourashava has received no objection certificates to use the land owned by private individuals or institutions required for the civil construction of the various roads and drainage sub-projects from the owners. For this, the owners have individually signed a ‘no objection letter’ (NOC) giving permission to the pourashava for the use of the land. Each NOC includes signature of 2 persons from Gopalganj as witness, unrelated to both the pourashava and the land owner. This NOC is further complemented with a separate ‘witness certificate’, duly attested and signed by a third-party neutral institutional representative. The concerned witness in this case is the head of a local educational institution in Gopalganj and is accepted by all the land owners and the pourashava. The NOCs and the related Witness Certificates are attached as Appendix - 4 to this RP. Separately, a list of the 122 land owners who have given NOC along with the total amount of land is provided in Appendix – 3. The total land for which NOC is received amounts to 59.43 decimals; the maximum amount of land lost by an individual (private owner/titleholder) is 1.83 decimals and minimum is 0.09 decimals. The approximate market price of the land for which NOC is received amounts to roughly 50 million Bangladeshi taka (BDT) at the ongoing market rate in Gopalganj (source: interviews with local people). A. Methodology Used for Assessing Land Acquisition and Resettlement

14. Stakeholder consultations: Comprehensive discussions with project preparation technical assistance (PPTA) consultants, Gopalganj pourashava, stakeholder agencies were conducted (refer section on public consultation and information disclosure for details). 15. Census of affected persons and inventory of affected assets: Complete census of affected households and assets using the form in Appendix 6 was conducted to identify entitled and non-

entitled persons, vulnerable APs, inventory and remaining fixed assets of APs. The results of the census survey were subsequently analysed to determine estimated cost of IR impacts7 and establish the resettlement database to be used during project monitoring and supervision. 16. Updating of the RP. The RP has been prepared based on census and socio-economic surveys subsequent to project preparatory study for roads and drainage infrastructure for contract packages (i) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT-01/2017; UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/DR-01/2017; (ii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-01/2017; (iii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-02/2017; (iv) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-03/2017; (v) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT&DR-04/2017; (vi) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-05/2017; and (vii) UGIIP III-II/AF/GOPA/UT+DR-06/2017 proposed for implementation in Phase 2 of UGIIP-3 – additional financing. It also covers potential involuntary resettlement impacts of the proposed solid waste landfill, for which a separate due diligence report is prepared. The RP and the above-mentioned DDR will be updated during detailed design prior to project implementation, based on detailed measurement surveys.8 B. Land Acquisition and Resettlement

17. Drainage Improvement. The construction of the drains will cause some IR impacts comprising of mainly demolition of standing structures as the land will be donated by the private land owners, the demolition of the standing structures will need compensation. The details of compensation is provided in the resettlement budget.

18. Roads Improvement. While most of the Phase 2 roads subprojects will improve existing roads, a number of roads are planned for widening. Similar to the drains, these works will necessitate both land donation by private owners and as well as demolition of existing standing structures (homes, shops, boundary walls, etc.). It must be mentioned that construction on these lands has been allowed by the owners to the pourasava at no cost. Further, in many cases, trees will have to be cut down and electric poles will have to be moved to adjacent locations. In all such cases, as per the concerns raised during consultations (refer Section E on consultations), the compensation for the standing structures, boundary walls and as well as the trees and electric poles is estimated. The total estimated IR impacts from both the roads and the drains are provided in Tables 1 and 2. 19. Solid Waste Management (Landfill). The land acquisition requirement (9.71 acres, or roughly 10 acres) for the SWM landfill site is provided in the DDR (in an accompanying volume to this RP). A total of 17 landowners (having 106 family members) are affected, of whom 9 landowners (with 64 family members) are below poverty line as per their stated income. Seasonal sharecroppers (different people who enter into sharecropping agreements with a few landowners every year) are likely to find similar lands elsewhere for sharecropping/cultivation and are not likely to be permanently affected. Any existing sharecroppers during detailed measurement

7A census of all APs with basic demographic and socioeconomic data, such as household size, age, gender (especially of the head of household), ethnicity, occupation, household income, and vulnerability; (ii) an inventory of all affected assets located within the designated alignment of the project facilities, including land of various types (residential, commercial, and agricultural) and other immovable property (buildings, fences, sheds, irrigation canals, wells, and other structures) where quantities and relevant measurements are clearly determined; and (iii) the valuation of these assets at replacement cost according to local market prices and standards of valuation, without deductions for age-related depreciation, recovery of salvageable materials, or registration fees and other transaction costs 8 Detailed measurement survey involves detailed measurement of the affected land parcel or structure and provides an inventory of the status/condition of all other assets on the land (e.g. trees, irrigation infrastructure, etc) or structure. Although DMS is not yet undertaken, fairly robust data based on assessment by survey team and pourashava personnel in discussion with APs is used for preparation of this RP.

surveys shall be compensated as per the project entitlement matrix. Apart from loss of private land to the 17 landowners, resettlement impacts such as crop loss and agriculture-based income loss (potential partial loss of agricultural income – 1 crop per annum) to the landowners are anticipated. A Draft Due Diligence Report is prepared for the proposed landfill; to be updated post DMS surveys, prior to start of construction. This RP provides for compensation against identified IR impacts (Tables 1 and 2).

20. The current estimate will be further re-assessed during the detailed measurement surveys proposed prior to implementation, based on which this RP will be duly updated.

21. There is sufficient space for staging areas, construction equipment, and stockpiling of materials in all Phase 2 roads and drains and Phase 3 solid waste landfill. The contractor will, however, need to remove all construction and demolition wastes on a daily basis as per subproject EMP.

22. Road closures are not anticipated during Phase 2 and 3 construction phases. Although the civil construction works of the Phase 2 sub-projects involve rather simple techniques, the invasive nature of excavation and the alignments in the built-up areas around the civil construction works and where there are usually a variety of human activities, this may result to impacts on the residents, businesses, and the community in general. Excavation may also damage existing infrastructure (such as water distribution pipes, electricity pylons, etc.) located along the ROWs. However, through strict adherence to the conditions of the EMP, the contractors are required to avoid and limit the disturbance to the extent possible. In this regard, specific mitigation measures included in the EMP will be incorporated into their contracts, and will be closely monitored by Gopalganj pourashava PIU and management design supervision consultants (MDSC). The EMP provides the following measures and requirements to be implemented by the contractor to ensure that impacts are mitigated:

(i) in coordination with Gopalganj pourashava traffic authority, implement a traffic management plan;

(ii) inform through public announcements, billboards/signage and other form of notice9 the residents, businesses owners and tenants, and other sensitive receptors (schools, places of worship, hospitals/clinics, etc.) along construction alignment 7 days, and again 2 days, prior to commencement of works;

(iii) leave space for access between mounds of soil; (iv) provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for

people and vehicles; (v) consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in

work schedules; (vi) consider night works in high-traffic and commercial areas; (vii) ensure there is provision of alternate access to businesses and institutions during

construction phase, so that there is no closure of these shops or any loss of clientele; and

(viii) Ensure any damage to properties and utilities will be restored or compensated to pre-work conditions.

9 Information should be understandable to local people and include nature and duration of construction activities and contact numbers for concerns/complaints

23. Temporarily affected mobile hawkers/vendors (if any) will be assisted by contractors in moving to alternative locations during the brief period of construction and allowed to return once construction in the area is declared complete. However, in the event that there are income losses for persons with temporary and/or movable structure/equipment during shifting (anticipated to be for a maximum period of 2 days in most cases), compensation for lost income will be made for the time of disruption. Additional assistance will be provided to vulnerable APs. This RP summarizes potential IR impacts in Table 2 below.

(a) Permanent livelihood IR impact – considered when AP (can be mobile hawkers/vendors, with permanent/semi-permanent structure/s, with equipment/tools) is required to move out/vacate the location during the construction phase and has no possibility of reestablishing the business. A change in livelihood is also considered a permanent IR impact. (b) Temporary livelihood IR impact – considered when AP (can be mobile hawkers/vendors, with permanent/semi-permanent structure/s, with equipment/tools) is required to move to alternative locations during the construction phase and allowed to return once construction in the area is declared complete, or, is able to reestablish business nearby. 24. The average family size of the APs is 4.85 persons. Out of the 143 affected households ; 9 are Hindus while the remaining are Muslims. There are also 10 women headed households among the APs along with 24 BPL households and a few elderly-headed households.10 The details are provided in the Table 3 below:

25. In total, 10 women headed households will be affected from the project’s civil works related to the roads and drainage components, and 1 WHH from the solid waste landfill component. A pourashava–level gender action plan (GAP), as part of this RP, is prepared to ensure gender equality and social inclusion. The GAP will provide for activities to include active participation of females in (i) project disclosure and FGDs; (ii) decision making capacity in pourashavas, (iii) increasing women-friendly service delivery including the poor and the

10 Age data on all APs is not available and needs to be confirmed during detailed measurement surveys and related

socio-economic surveys. 11 In the absence of both national and regional benchmark of below poverty level (BPL), this project uses the upper

poverty line f o r D h a k a U r b a n d i v i s i o n at BDT.2,778/capita/month to determine vulnerable households. This is calculated from 2010 upper poverty line for Dhaka Urban Division determined by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistic with inflation rate added

12 The eligibility will follow the Department of Social Service of Ministry of Social Welfare that uses 65 years old for man and 62 years old for woman to define elderly people

marginalized, and (iv) building women-friendly infrastructure at all levels of pourashavas. 26. There are no identified indigenous peoples/small ethnic communities (IPs/SEC) in Gopalganj pourashava. In course of detailed design as well, no IP has been identified and hence, no such IP will be affected by the project that is likely to impact their identity, culture, and customary livelihoods, detailed information on their land-use, economic activities, and social organizations will be collected to prepare a separate small ethnic community development plan (SECDP).

III. SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE

A. Profile of the Affected Persons

27. Impact inventory surveys reveal that there are 29 shops, 48 houses, 1 structure of unknown type (data gap to be verified during DMS), 8 land donors facing loss of land only, in addition to 57 private boundary walls (2 are tin fences), 3 government boundary walls, 2251 medium size trees along with 103 electric poles which will be affected by the project. A total of 143 households are affected. Eleven APs will require temporary relocation to their own adjacent lands, while 8 APs will require relocation to rented / leased premises. Among the affected households, 24 may be considered ‘below poverty line’ (BPL). Ten women headed households (including 1 BPL+WHH) and 18 elderly-headed households (some with multiple vulnerabilities) are affected by the roads and drainage components. The detailed list of the roads and drainage APs and other loss is provided in the Appendix – 2. Detailed list of SWM APs is presented in the accompanying volume (Due Diligence Report). 28. Average Household Size. The average household size of affected households of roads and drainage components is 4.85, and that for the landfill component is 6.23. 29. Educational Attainment. The majority of APs have completed secondary education (about 42%), less than one-fifth have completed high school (18%), and those who have completed primary school and university are about 13% and 14% respectively. As many as 6.25% of APs are illiterate; no data on education is available for another 6% of APs.

IV. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION

A. Public Consultation Conducted

31. The public participation process included (i) identifying interested and affected parties (stakeholders); (ii) informing and providing the stakeholders with sufficient background and technical information regarding the proposed development; (iii) creating opportunities and mechanisms whereby they can participate and raise their viewpoints (issues, comments, and concerns) with regard to the proposed development; (iv) giving the stakeholders feedback on process findings and recommendations; and (v) ensuring compliance to process requirements with regards to the environmental and related legislation. 32. A total of 28 Focus Group discussions (FGDs) were carried out as part of the preparation of this RP. Further, 1 public consultation with the attendance of 48 participants was held on 30 July 2016. On 5 sub-project components, consecutive FGDs were conducted to seek the opinions of maximum number of APs and as well as other relevant stakeholders. Finally, 15 interviews were carried out with a cross-section of stakeholders in Gopalganj pourasava comprising of pourasava officials, government officials, business persons, educationists, local elites, etc. The

detailed list of the interviewees and the proceedings of the FGDs and the public consultation is attached in Appendix – 5. 33. An overwhelming majority of the participants in the FGDs, public consultations and interviews expressed their support and willingness to participate in the project. However, some of the participants, particularly those coming from the low-income groups expressed issues related to disruption of their livelihood and/or the need to move out of their current locations. The issues raised include (i) demolition of structures and cutting of trees for ROW clearing; (ii) temporary relocation during road and drainage construction; (iii) pedestrian safety; (iv) employment opportunity; (v) traffic and access to businesses/shops during construction phase; and (iv) land acquisition. The PPTA team lead by the national resettlement specialist provided the following information to address the issues:

(i) demolition of structures and cutting of trees for ROW clearing – this is anticipated as some structures are encroaching the ROWs required for the Phase 2 components. Affected assets, trees and APs will be recorded. IR impacts will be addressed in the RP and the APs will be duly compensated.

(ii) temporary relocation of business and mobile vendors/hawkers during construction – Gopalganj pourashava will identify relocation sites/premises prior to start of civil works. Contractor/s will be required to provide assistance to APs in moving to these sites. The APs will have the right to salvage materials and can go back to their original sites once the construction is completed. APs and livelihood impacts will be recorded. IR impacts are addressed in the RP. Additional compensation will be provided to vulnerable APs.

(iii) pedestrian safety – the measures to ensure Phase 2 components will not compromise pedestrian safety include design consideration such as dedicated pedestrian walkways on Phase 2 roads, covering of drainage to serve as walkways, provision of speed bumps in areas where there is high traffic for school children and accident-prone stretches, and provision of safety signs and boards. During construction phase, mitigation measures as specified in the subproject EMPs will be implemented by the contractors and closely supervised by Gopalganj pourashava and consultants.

(iv) employment opportunity – there will be local employment opportunity for skilled and unskilled laborers. Participation of women is highly encouraged and they’ll have priority in employment under the project’s civil works.

(v) traffic – road closure is not anticipated during construction period. The contractor/s will be required to submit a traffic management plan and implement in coordination with Gopalganj pourashava traffic authority. Alternate routes will be communicated via public announcements, billboards and notices.

(vi) disruption of access to businesses/shops – The contractor/s will be required to factor in their work schedules the timing of operations of business/shops along the alignments. The businesses/shops will be notified 7 days and again 2 days prior to start of construction activities. Access will be maintained through provisions of planks and metal sheets across trenches.

(vii) land acquisition – people are willing to donate part/strips of land for the project. (viii) Meetings were also held with Gopalganj pourashava engineers and relevant staff

regarding IR impacts and how to minimize the issues connected with it.

34. The participants of the consultations not only committed their full support but also guaranteed cooperation during project implementation. Almost all the participants in the census survey responded that they agreed to provide every kind of support and cooperation in any effort

to develop the area as well as pourashava. However, many of them also made a request for proper compensation for the demolition of the structures while they would donate any private land required for the completion of the project’s civil works. They also further requested additional supports in the form of business and livelihood restoration grants for the APs belonging to low income groups. 35. The issues raised were communicated to Gopalganj pourashava and PPTA experts to further fine tune the detailed design of the components. This means that the impacts and their significance have already been reduced. B. Future Consultation and Disclosure

36. This RP and other relevant documents will be made available at public locations in the pourashava and posted on the websites of LGED, ADB and the Gopalganj pourasava. Furthermore, the consultation process will be continued and expanded during the project implementation to ensure stakeholders participate fully in project execution, as well as to implement comprehensive information, education, and communication plan. 37. Public consultation and disclosure with all interested and affected stakeholders will remain a continuous process throughout the project implementation, and shall include the following:

i. consultations during detailed design stage: (a) public meetings with affected communities to present final design and alignment of the components; (b) smaller-scale meetings with APs to discuss IR impacts and RP implementation.

ii. consultations during construction phase: (a) one-on-one meetings with affected people prior to start of civil works to discuss relocation site, project schedule and RP implementation; (b) public meetings with affected communities to discuss and plan work programs and allow issues to be raised and addressed once construction has started; and (c) smaller-scale meetings to discuss and plan construction work with individual communities to reduce disturbance and other impacts, and to provide a mechanism through which stakeholders can participate in project monitoring and evaluation; and

iii. project disclosure: (a) public information campaigns (via flyers, billboards, and local media) to explain the project to the wider city population and prepare them for disruptions they may experience once construction is underway; (b) public disclosure meetings at key project stages to inform the public of progress and future plans, and to provide copies of summary documents in local language; (c) formal disclosure of completed project reports by making copies available at convenient locations in the study areas, and informing the public of their availability; and (d) providing a mechanism through which comments can be made.

38. A consultation and participation plan is prepared for UGIIP III; consultation activities will be coordinated by the PMO, PIU (Gopalganj pourashava) and consultant teams to ensure that the communities are fully aware of the activities at all stages of the project implementation.

39. To provide for more transparency in planning and for further active involvement of APs and other stakeholders, relevant information from this RP will be translated to Bangla and made available at (i) offices of LGED and Gopalganj pourashava, (ii) area offices, (iii) consultant teams’ offices; and (iv) contractor’s campsites. It will be ensured that the hard copies of this RP are kept at places which are conveniently accessible to people, as a means to disclose the document

and at the same time creating wider public awareness. An electronic version of this RP will be placed in the official website of LGED and Gopalganj pourashava, and ADB’s website after approval of the RP by ADB.

V. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

40. A project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) is established to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The GRM aims to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project. The GRM is in place at PMO level and Phase I project tows of UGIIP-3; GRC needs to be established in each new project town taken up in subsequent phases.

41. Common GRM. A common GRM is in place for social, environmental, or any other grievances related to the project; the RPs and IEEs will follow the GRM described below, which is developed in consultation with key stakeholders. The GRM provides an accessible and trusted platform for receiving and facilitating resolution of affected persons’ grievances related to the project. The multi-tier GRM for the project is outlined below, each tier having time-bound schedules and with responsible persons identified to address grievances and seek appropriate persons’ advice at each stage, as required. 42. Pourashava-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign. The PIU designated safeguard focal person and governance improvement and capacity development consultants (GICDC) will conduct pourashava-wide awareness campaigns to ensure that poor and vulnerable households are made aware of grievance redress procedures and entitlements, and will work with the PMO and management, design and supervision consultants (MDSC) to help ensure that their grievances are addressed.

43. Affected persons will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes that have already been installed by project pourashavas or through telephone hotlines at accessible locations, by e-mail, by post, or by writing in a complaints register in pourashava offices. Appendix 6 has the sample grievance registration form. Careful documentation of the name of the complainant, address/contact details, date of receipt of the complaint, location of the problem area, and how the problem was resolved will be undertaken. The project management office (PMO) safeguard officer will have the overall responsibility for timely grievance redressal on environmental and social safeguards issues and for registration of grievances, related disclosure, and communication with the aggrieved party through the PIU designated safeguard focal person. 44. Grievance redress process. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, the contractor and consultants’ on-site personnel will provide the most easily accessible or first level of contact for quick resolution of grievances. Contact phone numbers and names of the concerned PIU safeguard focal person and contractors will be posted at all construction sites at visible locations.

(i) 1st Level Grievance. The phone number of the PIU office should be made available at the construction site signboards. The contractors and PIU safeguard focal person can immediately resolve on-site in consultation with each other, and will be required to do so within 7 days of receipt of a complaint/grievance.

(ii) 2nd Level Grievance. All grievances that cannot be redressed within 7 days at field/ward level will be reviewed by the grievance redress cell (GRC) headed by

Panel Mayor of the pourashava with support from PIU designated safeguard focal person and MDSC regional environment and resettlement specialists. GRC will attempt to resolve them within 15 days.1310 The PIU designated safeguard focal person will be responsible to see through the process of redressal of each grievance.

(iii) 3rd Level Grievance. The PIU designated safeguard focal person will refer any unresolved or major issues to the PMO safeguard officer and MDSC national environmental and resettlement specialists. The PMO in consultation with these officers/specialists will resolve them within 30 days.

45. Despite the project GRM, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage, and accessing the country's legal system can run parallel to accessing the GRM and is not dependent on the negative outcome of the GRM. In the event of the established GRM not being in a position to resolve the issue, the affected person also can use the ADB Accountability Mechanism (AM) through directly contacting (in writing) the Complaint Receiving Officer (CRO) at ADB headquarters or the ADB Bangladesh Resident Mission (BRM). The complaint can be submitted in any official language of ADB’s DMCs. The ADB AM information will be included in the PID to be distributed to the affected persons, as part of the project GRM. 46. Record keeping. Records of all grievances received, including contact details of complainant, date the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were effected, and outcome will be kept by PIU. The number of grievances recorded and resolved and the outcomes will be displayed/disclosed in the PMO office, pourashava office, and on the web, and reported to ADB in semi-annual monitoring reports. 47. Periodic review and documentation of lessons learned. The PMO safeguard officer will periodically review functioning of GRM in each pourashava and record information on its effectiveness, especially on the project’s ability to prevent and address grievances. 48. Costs. All costs involved in resolving the complaints (meetings, consultations, communication and reporting/information dissemination) will be borne by the concerned PIU at pourashava-level; while costs related to escalated grievances will be met by the PMO. Cost estimates for grievance redress are included in resettlement cost estimates.

13 Grievance redress committees (GRC) will have been formed at Pourashava-level. For example in Lalmonirhat pourashava, the GRC comprises Panel Mayor as Chairperson, and 1 councilor, the pourashava Executive Engineer, Secretary pourashava and pourashava administrative officer, as members. All pourashava-level GRCs shall have at least one-woman member/chairperson and AP representative or independent NGO as committee member. In addition, for project-related grievances, representatives of APs, community-based organizations (CBOs), and eminent citizens must be invited as observers in GRC meetings.

VI. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

49. ADB Safeguards Policy Statement, 2009.ADB SPS, 2009 applies to all ADB-financed and/or ADB-administered sovereign projects and their components, regardless of the source of financing, including investment projects funded by a loan, a grant, or other means. 50. The three important elements of the ADB SPS, 2009 are (i) compensation to replace lost assets, livelihood, and income; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation to achieve at least the same standard of living with the project as without it. In addition, the absence of legal title to land should not be a bar to compensation. ADB SPS, 2009 requires compensation prior to actual income loss. 51. ADB SPS also applies when the land acquisition process has begun or been completed and/or population has already been moved in anticipation of ADB support. Involuntary resettlement actions in anticipation of ADB support generally refer to actions that preceded ADB support. In such cases ADB’s due diligence will identify if there are any outstanding grievance or resettlement actions in noncompliance with ADB SPS requirements. If such outstanding issues are identified, ADB will work with LGED and PIUs to ensure appropriate mitigation measures are developed and implemented with an agreed timeline. It is also important for ADB’s due diligence to assess potential risks associated with the project, even if the government’s previous resettlement actions are not done in anticipation of ADB support. 52. Government of Bangladesh Laws and Policies. The Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO), 1982 and its subsequent amendments in 1993 and

Note: GRC = Grievance Redressal Cell; GICDC = Governance Improvement and capacity Development Consultants; PIU = Project Implementation Unit; MDSC = Management. Design and Supervision Consultants; PMO = Project Management Office

1994 are the applicable Government of Bangladesh legal and policy framework. ARIPO does not cover non-titleholders, such as encroachers, informal settler/squatters, occupiers, and informal tenants and leaseholders without documents. ARIPO also does not provide for replacement cost of the property acquired, and has no provision for resettlement assistance for restoration of livelihoods of displaced persons, except for legal compensation for land and structure. Further, in a majority of the cases, the compensation paid does not constitute market or replacement cost of the property acquired. 53. Appendix 8 provides a comparison of ARIPO and ADB SPS, 2009 principles and provides a gap analysis. Gaps between ARIPO and ADB, SPS 2009 were identified, and bridging measures are specified the project’s RF. The RF also specifies that in case of discrepancy between the policies of ADB and the government, the policy of ADB will prevail. 54. This draft resettlement plan and entitlement matrix therein represents a uniform document agreed upon by both the Government of Bangladesh and ADB to ensure compliance with their respective rules and policies.

VII. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS

A. Types of Losses and Affected Person Category

55. The types of losses – permanent or temporary, total or partial due to the project include (i) loss of land; (ii) loss of residential/commercial/institutional structure; (iii) loss of trees; (iv) loss of crops; (v) loss of business/livelihood; (vi) loss of work days/incomes, and relocation of households and businesses; (vii) loss of utilities; and (viii) potential loss of access to premises for residence and trading. 56. According to ADB SPS, 2009 of ADB in the context of involuntary resettlement, APs are those who are physically relocated, or lose residential land, or shelter and/or economically displaced (with loss of structure, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood). The absence of formal and legal title to the land should not prevent the AP to receive compensation and resettlement assistance from the project. 57. The following categories of APs are likely to be impacted due to the implementation of the project:

(i) APs facing loss of land – APs losing land due to sale, and APs donating land; (ii) APs whose structures are to be demolished – APs whose structure (including

ancillary and secondary structure) are being used for residential, commercial, community, or worship purposes which are affected in part or in total (involving relocation);

(iii) APs losing income or livelihoods – APs whose crops, trees, business, employment,

daily wages as source of income, or livelihood (including tenants, businesses, employees, laborers, etc.) are affected, permanently or temporarily; and

(iv) vulnerable APs – APs included in any of the above categories who are defined as

low-income people (BPL), physically or socially challenged, landless or without title to land, female-headed households, elderly, vulnerable IP (tribal), or ethnic minority group.

B. Principles, Legal, and Policy Commitments

58. The resettlement plan has the following specific principles based on ARIPO and ADB SPS, 2009:

(i) land acquisition and resettlement impacts on persons displaced by the project would be avoided or minimized as much as possible through alternate design/engineering options;

(ii) where the negative impacts are unavoidable, the persons displaced by the project and vulnerable groups will be identified and assisted in improving or regaining their standard of living;

(iii) information related to the preparation and implementation of this RP will be disclosed to all stakeholders in a form and language understandable to them; and people’s participation will be ensured in planning and implementation;

(iv) displaced persons who do not own land or other properties, but have economic interests or lose their livelihoods, will be assisted as per the broad principles described in the entitlement matrix of this RP;

(v) before starting civil works, compensation and resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) assistance will be paid in full in accordance with the provisions described in RP;

(vi) an entitlement matrix for different categories of people displaced by the project has been prepared. People moving into the project area after the cut-off date14 will not be entitled to any assistance

(vii) for non-titleholders such as informal settlers/squatters and encroachers, the date of completion of detailed design-relevant survey are the cut-off dates. This stands to be declared by LGED,

(viii) appropriate GRM will be established to ensure speedy resolution of disputes; (ix) all activities related to resettlement planning, implementation, and monitoring will

ensure the involvement of women and other vulnerable groups; (x) consultations with the APs will continue during the implementation of resettlement

and rehabilitation works; and (xi) a clause in the contract agreement that the construction contractor/s will be required

to repair to pre-works condition or compensate any loss or damage caused by his execution of works. A contract clause will also ensure that all contractual employees of the pourashava in the conservancy staff are trained and redeployed in operation and maintenance related jobs.

C. Entitlement

59. In accordance with the UGIIP III RF, all displaced households and persons will be entitled to a combination of compensation packages and resettlement assistance, depending on the nature of ownership rights on lost assets, scope of the impacts including socioeconomic vulnerability of the displaced persons, and measures to support livelihood restoration if livelihood impacts are envisaged.

14 The project cut-off date was established during the formal disclosure of the RP on (6.12 2013).A cut-off date is set

to establish displacedpersons who are eligible to receive compensation and resettlement assistance by a project. Theaim is not to inflict losses on people. Any person who purchases or occupies land in the demarcated project area after a cut-off date is not eligible for compensation or resettlement assistance. Fixed assets such as built structures, crops, fruit trees, and woodlots established after this date, or an alternative mutually agreed on date, will not be compensated.

60. The entitlement15 matrix (Table 7) specifies that any displaced person16 will be entitled to (i) compensation for loss of land at the replacement cost; (ii) compensation for loss of structure (residential/commercial) and other immovable assets at their replacement cost (without counting the depreciation value); (iii) compensation for loss of business/wage income; (iv) compensation for loss of crops and/or trees; (iv) assistance for shifting of structure; (v) rebuilding and/or restoration of community resources/facilities; and (vi) if vulnerable APs, livelihood/transitional cash assistance for vulnerable displaced persons (head of the affected family) at official minimum wage of the appropriate AP’s occupation. D. Cut-off Date

61. The date of disclosure of this RP to project-affected persons will be considered the cut-off date for determining eligibility for compensation.

15Resettlement entitlements with respect to a particular eligibility category are the sum total of compensation and other

forms of assistance provided to displaced persons in the respective eligibility category. 16In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced persons are those who are physically displaced (relocation,

loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas.

VIII. COMPENSATION MECHANISM

62. The project will ensure that the properties (structure and non-structure assets) to be displaced for the project will be compensated at their full replacement cost, determined by legally constituted bodies like the property valuation advisory committee (PVAC), and joint verification committee (JVC), and resettlement advisory committee (RAC). The principle for determining valuation and compensation for assets, incomes, and livelihoods is replacing the loss of affected assets and restoring the loss of income and workdays experienced by the displaced households. Livelihood rehabilitation assistance will be required to all APs who will experience significant impacts on their livelihood activities regardless of their poverty status. Additional assistance will be required for AP categorized as poor and vulnerable. 63. This RP ensures compensation at replacement cost for all the displaced people /APsdue to implementation of Phase 2 components and Phase 3 (proposed landfill) in Gopalganj pourashava. A. Cash Allowance to Support Lost Income

64. Displaced persons will be eligible for assistance for loss of employment/workdays (in the case of wage earners) owing to dislocation and relocation. Assistance for lost income based on 3 months’ minimum wage rates to permanently displaced shop owners will be paid. For temporary disruption to income during the demolition and reconstruction of the partially affected commercial structure, the owners as well as the workers will receive one-time assistance for lost income for the actual period of disruption at income/tax statement, minimum wage rates, or based on actual income (whichever is higher), verified through incomes of comparable businesses in the area. B. Assistance to Re-establish Business

65. APs will be provided 7 days advance notice, followed by a reminder 2 days before construction to ensure none or minimal disruption in livelihood. If required, they will be assisted to temporarily shift for continued economic activity; for example, they will be assisted to shift to the other side of the road where there is no construction and then assisted to shift back, post- construction. Special care will be taken to ensure that these temporarily affected shop owners will set up their business once again either in the same location or elsewhere of their own choice. 66. Ensuring there is no income or access loss during civil works is the responsibility of contractors. Consistent with the EMP, contractors will ensure access is maintained by making sure that space is left for access between mounds of soil, walkways and metal sheets provided to maintain access across trenches for people and vehicles where required, increased workforce is available to finish work in areas with impacts on access, timing of works is such that it reduces disruption during business hours and periods of peak business activities e.g. festivals, phased construction schedule is followed and work undertaken on one segment at a time and one side of a road at a time. 67. Any interruption (full or partial) of access to any facility or service will be restored as soon as the construction is completed. Necessary provisions particularly interrupted water supply to the poor during the construction period is the responsibility of the PIUs and contractor.

C. Assistance for relocation

68. All affected persons facing relocation impacts including encroachers and squatters will be entitled to a lumpsum cash assistance of BDT10,000, to meet any transport/shifting/labour costs involved in relocation. One person from each household facing relocation will be given priority in unskilled labor opportunities under the project. D. Additional Assistance to Vulnerable Groups

69. The following categories of displaced persons are recognized as vulnerable groups in the project: female-headed, elderly-headed, disabled-headed, as well as IP/ minorities and BPL households. In addition to the provisions in the entitlement matrix for compensation of loss of assets and livelihood, additional allowance equivalent to 2 months’ income at minimum wages to each of these vulnerable groups households affected is included towards enabling improvement of their socioeconomic status. Vulnerable persons will be given priority in unskilled labor opportunities under the project. ID cards will verify vulnerability status, and the PIU will present the list of vulnerable persons to contractors. E. Compensation for Temporarily Affected Persons

70. Temporary loss of incomes of APs will be compensated based on replacement cost of income losses or a transitional allowance for the period of disruption up to 6 months, as detailed in the entitlement matrix. Preferential employment in project-related work will be offered to local people, with priority to vulnerable persons. APs will be provided 7 days advance notice, followed by a reminder 2 days before construction to ensure none or minimal disruption in livelihood. If required, they will also be assisted to temporarily shift for continued economic activity; for example, they will be assisted to shift to the other side of the road where there is no construction and then assisted to shift back, post-construction. Compensation and assistance to APs must be provided prior to start of civil works F. Payment of Compensation to Affected Persons

71. The following steps are envisaged in payment of compensation to APs:

(i) Step 1. PIU, with assistance from PMO and MDSC resettlement specialist will distribute identity cards to affected persons, including those facing income losses and those requiring assistance, and vulnerable APs.

a. MDSC resettlement specialist fills up a prescribed form for each AP, listing down

the name, location, and business type of the AP, including signature;

b. MDSC resettlement specialist takes passport-size photograph of each AP with

digital camera;

c. MDSC resettlement specialist prepares a database of the APs with digital

photographs;

d. MDSC resettlement specialist issues ID cards to APs with corresponding ID

serial number to match with database and AP photo; and

e. MDSC resettlement specialist NGO determines income loss of the

vendors/small shop owners based on the socio-economic survey.

(ii) Step 2. Affected persons can then access the compensation, assistance, and allowances

provided from PIU. (iii) Step 3. PIU will pay compensation, assistance, and allowances prior to displacement in

sections ready for construction (as required). The project director will closely monitor these activities.

PIU opens a bank account with a bank, including an MOU to make payment

from the account to ID-card holders of affected persons only.

PIU issues checks to affected persons.

Bank pays an affected person as bearer of the check; on the reverse side of

the check, the bank puts a seal containing a box, notes the ID serial number of

the AP, and checks the bearer’s ID and photograph. PIU collects the bank statement and submits to PMO included in the RP

implementation report.

(i) Step 4. PMO will keep accounts-record of affected persons; amounts paid, and receipts record-for accounting purposes.

72. Involuntary Resettlement Impacts in Anticipation of ADB Support. A tracer study will be conducted for any households/persons displaced in anticipation of ADB support. The principal objective of the tracer study is to locate all affected households/persons and to find out their present socioeconomic situation. A set of guide questions that focused on the following will be used:

(i) when was the structure set up, when was it dismantled; (ii) was this the first time that the AH dismantled its structure on orders by local

authorities;

(iii) who carried out the dismantling and rebuilding, if any of the structures; (iv) how much did the affected household/persons spend on the dismantling and

rebuilding of its structures;

(v) where has the AH relocated; and, (vi) what are the livelihood activities and level of daily income of the AH before and

after relocation.

73. A corrective action plan will be developed to include specific assistance and timing of provision of assistance set out in this RP will be provided to all affected households. Displaced households/persons in anticipation of ADB support will also be entitled to (i) compensation for loss of land at the replacement cost; (ii) compensation for loss of structure (residential/commercial) and other immovable assets at their replacement cost (without counting the depreciation value); (iii) compensation for loss of business/wage income; (iv) assistance for shifting of structure; (v) rebuilding and/or restoration of community resources/facilities; (vi) livelihood/ transitional cash assistance for 6 months for all physically displaced persons at official minimum wage of the appropriate AP’s occupation for each head of the affected family.

IX. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

A. Unit Costs

74. As per UGIIP III RF the following were considered in determination of replacement cost of immovable properties to be affected by implementation of Phase 1 components in Gopalganj pourashava:

(i) houses and buildings - the value of the houses, buildings and other immovable properties of APs included the cost of labor and transfer of the construction materials;

(ii) timber bearing trees – the value is based on the market price of timber and as determined by the Forest Department;

(iii) fruit-bearing trees – the value is based on the market value of products multiplied by number of productive years remaining. If the trees are yet to reach age of maturity for calculating economic value, the cost of seedlings, saplings, and agricultural inputs are added to the compensation valuation. Valuation of fruit- bearing trees has been done by the Department of Horticulture.

75. Business owners’ loss of income will be compensated using maximum daily income earned during the duration of impact or number of days the shop/s will remain closed. 76. All temporarily affected APs will receive subsistence/transitional allowances and shifting assistance for the duration of impact which is expected for a short period (and may even be shortened by judicious planning of construction program, such as, night time or expedited construction). Special care will be taken to ensure that these temporarily affected APs will set up their livelihood once again either in the same location or elsewhere of their own choice. 77. For computation of unit cost for temporary income loss, results of the survey of affected businesses are used. The business surveys reveal affected businesses in Gopalganj pourashava earn highest daily profit of BDT 500 per day, which is used as the unit rate for tentative computation of compensation. Actual loss will be compensated as the entitlement in the RF. B. Resettlement Costs

78. Table 8 presents the resettlement cost estimate for identified Phase 2 roads and drains and Phase 3 landfill components. The resettlement cost includes (i) replacement cost of affected land/structures; (ii) assistance and allowances for relocation; (iii) income restoration (in case of permanent or temporary impacts; (iv) cost of trees; (v) sums for potential income losses to vendors and (vi) additional provisions for vulnerable APs. The resettlement cost has been prepared using market survey price of the impact but the total amount could come down as a result of actual support the community would offer during implementation. The resettlement costs also included other costs to RP implementation such as (i) public consultations and disclosure; (ii) grievance redress mechanism; (iii) safeguards capacity building; (iv) PMO, PIU, and consultants personnel; (v) updating of RP including survey costs during detailed design; and (vi) contingencies to cover damages to properties, if any. 79. The resettlement cost will be updated based on IR impact assessment during detailed design. All resettlement costs (including provision of sites for temporarily affected APs), unless otherwise specified in the table will be borne by counterpart funds.

This is a residential area of Gopalganj pourashava . Many VIP persons live along the

road. The existing road is sufficiently wide but requires urgent repairing. The

drainage system however is not sufficient and at many places, it remains under

water. The construction work of the scheme may affect 3-4 households. Recommendation: There is no need for land acquisition for the scheme. All the land

belongs to pourasava. However, the participants said that proper compensation for

the houses and shops should be paid to the APs as they are all poor people. They

also expressed their strong support to the project.

educated and employed. The existing roads are all narrow small lanes, so the

e erge ser i es, su h as fire ser i e, a ula e et . a ’t e ter the area he emergency cases arise. The drainage system is also very poor. Propose 3 schemes

are nearby each other and drain -12 and road -14 scheme location is same. As many

as 30-40 households will be affected by the schemes. Recommendation: 2 consecutive FGDs were conducted in the venue to ensure maximum participation

of the people. As a result most of the APs could attend the consultation meetings.

All the land owners agreed to allow the use of their land for the widening of the

roads and the construction of the drain. They feel that this will improve the overall

facilities and with better access of the emergency services. Actually, some

participants noted that there was a fire accident a few months ago and at that time

the fire service vehicles could not go to the area as the access road to very narrow

to enter. So, all the people suffered and many houses were burnt. All the

participants, however, requested for proper compensation for the standing

structures. They also promised to provide all necessary support for the schemes.

Quality of work should be ensured and should have quality supervision.

Would had better if given first priority of the pure drinking water supply.

More drain is required out of the proposed list.

Where more departments office and institutions have that should be given priority of drainage to remove water blocked.

Most of the road should be greater than before in the width. Soiled management system should be in well manner also must be ensured to

avoid environment pollution. More roads is required alongside need to improvement out of the proposed list. Many electric polls need to move so for that a reasonable cost should be included

in the re-settlement budget. Whoever now at living and running business illegally on the land of owned by the

Pourashava and other GoB offices they should be provided actual compensation. Compensation should be provided as per rules whoever will affect. As in the area

most of the peoples are poor because of in the Gopalgonj no employment opportunity.

The retroactive compensation measures for compensation of land acquisition, trees and others infrastructure in the project area very good initiative. This should have been done properly.

Appendix 9: Comparison of ARIPO and ADB SPS, 2009

ADB’s SPS (2009) Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO) of 1982

Gaps Between ARIPO and ADB’s Policies and Action Taken to Bridge the Gap

1 Involuntary resettlement should be avoided wherever possible.

Not defined in the ARIPO Like with other donor-funded projects in Bangladesh the approach of avoiding involuntary resettlement has already been taken care of while preparing this project. This will be further practiced during design and implementation.

2 Minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives

Not so clearly defined in the ARIPO Sections 3 and 18 exempt the acquisition of property used by the public for religious worship, public or educational institutions, graveyards, and cremation grounds.

The resettlement plan clearly defines the procedures on how to minimize the involuntary resettlement through proper alternate engineering design and adequate consultation with stakeholders.

3 Conducting census of displaced persons and resettlement planning

The ARIPO spells out that upon approval of the request for land by the office of the deputy commissioner, its own staff will conduct the physical inventory of assets and properties found on the land. The inventory form consists of the name of person, area of land, the list of assets affected, and the materials used in the construction of the house. The cut- off date is the date of publication of notice that land is subject to acquisition, and that any alteration or improvement thereon will not be considered for compensation.

The ARIPO does not define the census survey. It only reflects the inventory of losses (IOL), which is more in physical terms and only includes the names of the owners, etc. The ADB policy spells out a detailed census through household surveys of displaced persons in order to assess the vulnerability and other entitlements. This RP has been prepared based on the data collected through conducting a census, a socioeconomic survey for the displaced persons, and an inventory of losses.

4 Carry out meaningful consultation with displaced persons and ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring of resettlement program.

Section 3 of the ordinance provides that whenever it appears to the deputy commissioner that any property is needed or is likely to be needed for any public purpose or in the public interest, he will publish a notice at convenient places on or near the property in the prescribed form and manner, stating that the property is proposed for acquisition.

The ARIPO does not directly meet ADB’s requirements. This section of the ordinance establishes an indirect form of public consultation. However, it does not provide for public meetings and project disclosure, so stakeholders are not informed about the purpose of land acquisition, its proposed use, or compensation, entitlements, or special assistance measures. The resettlement plan for the project has been prepared following a consultation process which involves all stakeholders (affected persons, government department/line agencies, local community, etc.), and the consultation will be a continuous process at all stages of the project development such as project formulation, feasibility study, design, implementation, and post-implementation, including the monitoring phase.

5 Establish grievance redress mechanism.

Section 4 allows the occupant of the land to raise objections in writing. These should be filed with the deputy commissioner within 15 days after the publication. The deputy commissioner will then hear the complaints and prepare a

The Section 4 provision is consistent with ADB's grievance redress requirements. The resettlement plan has a special provision for grievance procedures, which includes formation of a grievance redress cell, appointment of an arbitrator, and publication of the notice of hearings and the scope of proceedings.

ADB’s SPS (2009) Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO) of 1982


report and record of proceedings within 30 days following expiry of the 15-day period given to affected persons to file their objections.

6 Improve or at least restore the livelihoods of all displaced persons.

The ARIPO does not address the issues related to income loss, livelihood, or loss of the non- titleholders. This only deals with the compensation for loss of land, structures, buildings, crops and trees, etc. for the legal titleholders.

The resettlement plan for this project keeps the provision for a census survey that will have the data on the loss of income and livelihood, and the same will be compensated as per the entitlement matrix for both physically and economically affected persons.

7 Land-based resettlement strategy

The ARIPO does not address these issues.

The ARIPO does not meet the requirement of ADB. Though this option may be a difficult proposition, given the lack of government land and the difficulties associated with the acquisition of private lands, the resettlement plan proposes land-for-land compensation as its priority, if feasible. Attempt will be made to find alternate land for the loss of land, in case it is available and if it is feasible, looking at the concurrence of host community and land value.

8 All compensation should be based on the principle of replacement cost.

The ARIPO states that the deputy commissioner determines the amount of compensation by considering: (i) the market value of the property based on the average value during the 12 months preceding the publication of notice of acquisition; (ii) the damage to standing crops and trees; (iii) damage by severing such property from the other properties of the person occupying the land; (iv) adverse effects on other properties, immovable or movable, and/or earnings; and (v) the cost of change of place of residence or place of business. The deputy commissioner also awards a sum of 50% on the market value of the property to be acquired.

The ARIPO is largely consistent with ADB policy. However, there are differences in the valuation of land and prices of affected assets, where ADB prescribes the use of current market rates/replacement cost in the project area. The ordinance does not ensure replacement cost or restoration of pre-project incomes of the affected persons. The resettlement plan addresses all these issues, and spells out a mechanism to fix the replacement cost by having an independent evaluator (committee) who will be responsible for deciding the replacement costs.

9 Provide relocation assistance to displaced persons.

No mention of relocation assistance to affected persons in ARIPO

The resettlement plan provides for the eligibility and entitlement for relocation of the affected persons, in the form of relocation assistance which includes shifting allowances, right to salvage materials, and additional transitional assistance for the loss o business and employment.

10 Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets.

The ARIPO does not have this provision.

The ARIPO does not comply with ADB policy. This is a major drawback of the national law/policy compared to that of ADB. The ARIPO only takes into consideration the legal titleholders and ignores the non-titleholders. The resettlement plan ensures compensation and assistance to all affected persons, whether physically displaced or economically displaced, irrespective of their legal status. The end of the census survey will be considered the cut-off

ADB’s SPS (2009) Acquisition and Requisition of

Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO) of 1982


date, and affected persons listed before the cut- off date will be eligible for assistance.

11 Disclose the resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation in an accessible place and a form and language understandable to affected persons and other

The ordinance only ensures the initial notification for the acquisition of a particular property.

The ARIPO does not comply with ADB’s SPS- 2009 as there is no mention of disclosure of resettlement plan. The SPS ensures that the resettlement plan, along with the necessary eligibility and entitlement, will be disclosed to the affected persons in the local language (Bengali) in the relevant project locations and concerned government offices, and the same resettlement plan will also be disclosed on the executing agency’s website and on the website of ADB.

12 Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of

’

The ARIPO has a provision to include all the costs related to land acquisition and compensation of legal property and assets. However, it does not take into account the cost related to other assistance and involuntary resettlement.

The ARIPO partially meets the requirement of ADB, as it only deals with the cost pertaining to land acquisition. The resettlement plan provides eligibility to both titleholders and non- titleholders with compensation and various kinds of assistances as part of the resettlement packages, and the entire cost will be part of the project cost.

13 Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic

The ARIPO has the provision that all the compensation will be paid prior to possession of the acquired land.

The ARIPO meets the requirement of ADB.

14 Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, and their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons.

This is not clearly defined in the ARIPO.

The ARIPO does not comply with ADB safeguards policies. The resettlement plan has a detailed provision for a monitoring system within the executing agency. The executing agency will be responsible for proper monitoring of resettlement plan implementation, and the monitoring will be verified by an external expert.

Appendix 10: Suggested Project Information Disclosure Document (PID) - Gopalganj

I. Background Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have planned to implement UGIIP III in selected 30 pourashavas over a period of 7 years (2014 to 2021). UGIIP III outcomes are improved access to municipal services and strengthened pro-poor and gender-responsive urban governance in target pourashavas. UGIIP III outputs are municipal infrastructure improved and made sustainable in target pourashavas, community participation, accountability, and financial management systems strengthened with emphasis on gender equity and social inclusion and project management. UGIIP III will improve existing and provide new municipal infrastructures including (i) roads; (ii) drainages; (iii) water supply system; (iv) solid waste management facilities; (v) slaughterhouses; (vi) markets, community center/auditorium, bus and truck terminals and river ghats; (vii) public toilets; and (viii) others such as provision for street lighting and improvement of slums. II. Executing and implementing agencies

LGED and the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), will be the executing agencies of the project. The participating pourashavas are the implementing agencies. III. Project safeguard category as per ADB SPS, 2009

During project preparation stage, alignment and sites of proposed subprojects in Gopalganj were assessed and results indicate that it is considered to be a low risk category project with safeguard category B (environment and involuntary resettlement) and C (indigenous people). Involuntary resettlement impacts due to the subproject are addressed in the resettlement plan (RP) prepared for Gopalganj pourashava as per Government of Bangladesh’s ARIPO and ADB SPS, 2009. The RP has subsequently been updated during detailed design stage and stands to be disclosed to affected persons. A Resettlement Framework (RF) has been prepared to provide guidance in the updating the RP. In case of any discrepancy between the policies of ADB and the government, ADB SPS, 2009 will prevail. IV. Involuntary resettlement impacts

UGIIP III considers involuntary resettlement21 due to physical and economic displacement as a result of (a) involuntary acquisition of land, or (b) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas; (ii) permanent or temporary displacement; (iii) full or partial displacement; (iv) all affected persons (APs) with land to be affected permanently or temporarily due to any project activity, including purchase and temporary use during construction. For Gopalganj, The identified potential involuntary resettlement (IR) impacts based on the

21ADB SPS considers resettlement involuntary when the displaced persons have no right to refuse the land acquisition by the state that result in their displacement. This occurs when land is acquired through (i) expropriation by invoking the eminent domain power of the state, or (ii) land is acquired through negotiated settlement when the pricing is negotiated in a process where expropriation will be the consequence of a failure in the negotiation

subproject detailed designs include:

(a) for road widening/improvement and drainage improvements:land donation by 122 landowners (59.43 decimals); major structure loss (shop/house) to 78 private structure owners (391 family members), minor structure loss to 57 private owners (267 family members) and 3 government departments/institutions, and only land loss to 8 private land owners/donors (35 family members). Majority of structure owners have additional land on which they can reestablish structures. A total of 19 APs face relocation, of which 11 APs (63 family members) have additional land of their own nearby for relocation, and 8 APs (46 family members) who do not possess additional/adequate land shall require assistance to relocate to rented/leased premises nearby. ADB SPS, 2009 makes it obligatory to endorse any land donation by an independent third party evaluator (e.g. an eminent citizen of the pourashava linked to an institution), to ensure there is no significant social and economic impact due to land donation. Temporary income loss is anticipated for all APs facing loss of major structures (30 days each), minor structures (10 days each) and trees (2 days each). Loss of 2251 trees to government and private owners is also anticipated.

(b) Acquisition of 9.71 acres (about 10.00 acres) of private land is proposed for the landfill site, affecting 17 landowners (having 106 family members), of whom 9 landowners (with 64 family members) are below poverty line as per their stated income. Apart from loss of private land to the 17 landowners, resettlement impacts such as crop loss and agriculture-based income loss (potential partial loss of agricultural income – 1 crop per annum) are anticipated, which are addressed in the RP for Gopalganj prepared for subprojects under UGIIP-3.

V. Eligibility

APs are those who are physically relocated, or lose residential land, or shelter and/or economically displaced (with loss of structure, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood). The absence of formal and legal title to the land should not prevent the AP to receive compensation and resettlement assistance from the project. UGIIP III will recognize three types of displaced persons, including: (i) persons with formal legal rights to land lost in its entirety or in part; (ii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part who have no formal legal rights to such land, but who have claims to such lands that are recognized or recognizable under national laws; and (iii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part who have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to such land. The budgetary provision is specified in Gopalganj RP. VI. Entitlement

The entitlement matrix (Table 1 of the RF and also included in Gopalganj RP) summarizes the main types of losses and the corresponding nature and scope of entitlements in accordance with government and ADB policies. Where the entitlement matrix does not cover a particular impact, it can be enhanced in the RPs based on the findings of the socioeconomic assessment and detailed census survey. Standards described will not be lowered, but can be enhanced in the subproject RPs as required. VII. Institutional Arrangement

A PMO will be established in LGED headed by a Project Director from LGED. The PMO will be staffed by a safeguard officer to oversee safeguards implementation and monitoring of the

project. The PMO will be responsible for implementing and monitoring safeguards compliance activities, public relations activities, gender mainstreaming activities, and community participation activities. The participating pourashavas will establish a PIU within the pourashava structure. The PIUs will each designate a safeguard focal person. Consultant teams (management, design and supervision consultants [MDSC] and governance improvement and capacity development consultants [GICDC]) will be engaged to provide assistance to PMO and PIUs. MDSC will have one national resettlement specialist and three regional resettlement specialist. GICDC will support PMO and PIUs in implementing urban government improvement action plan (UGIAP). GICDC will provide capacity development, community mobilization and other facilitation services. The contractor/s will be required to designate a resettlement supervisor to (i) ensure compliance with RP and RF during civil works, and to (ii) carry out all mitigation and monitoring measures outlined in the environmental management plan and their contract. Contractor/s will be required to repair/rehabilitate damaged properties to pre-work condition or compensate properties which cannot repaired/rehabilitated.

VIII. Grievance Redress Mechanism A project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) will be established in each PIU to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The GRM will aim to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project. Pourashava-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign. The PIU designated safeguard focal person and governance improvement and capacity development consultants (GICDC) will conduct pourashava-wide awareness campaigns to ensure that poor and vulnerable households are made aware of grievance redress procedures and entitlements, and will work with the PMO and MDSC to help ensure that their grievances are addressed. APs will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes that have already been installed by project pourashavas or through telephone hotlines at accessible locations, by e-mail, by post, or by writing in a complaints register in pourashava offices. Figure 1 shows the grievance redress process and further explained in the RF and Gopalganj RP: In the event that the established GRM is not in a position to resolve the issue, the affected person also can use the ADB Accountability Mechanism (AM) through directly contacting (in writing) the Complaint Receiving Officer (CRO) at ADB headquarters or the ADB Bangladesh Resident Mission (BRM). The complaint can be submitted in any of the official languages of ADB’s DMCs. The ADB Accountability Mechanism information will be included in the PID to be distributed to the affected communities, as part of the project GRM. IX. Disclosure

The project RF and other relevant documents will be made available at public locations in the pourashava and posted on the websites of LGED and ADB. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during the project implementation to ensure stakeholders participate fully in project execution, as well as to implement comprehensive information,

education, and communication plan. Public consultation and disclosure with all interested and affected partied will remain a continuous process throughout the project implementation, and shall include the following:

(i) consultations conducted during detailed design stage: (a) public meetings with affected communities to present final design and alignment of the components; (b) smaller-scale meetings with APs to discuss IR impacts and RP implementation. (ii) consultations during construction phase: (a) public meetings with affected communities to discuss and plan work programs and allow issues to be raised and addressed once construction has started; and (b) smaller-scale meetings to discuss and plan construction work with individual communities to reduce disturbance and other impacts, and to provide a mechanism through which stakeholders can participate in project monitoring and evaluation; and (iii) project disclosure: (a) public information campaigns (via flyers, billboards, and local media) to explain the project to the wider city population and prepare them for disruptions they may experience once construction is underway; (b) public disclosure meetings at key project stages to inform the public of progress and future plans, and to provide copies of summary documents in local language; (c) formal disclosure of completed project reports by making copies available at convenient locations in the study areas, and informing the public of their availability; and (d) providing a mechanism through which comments can be made.

A consultation and participation plan is prepared for UGIIP III; consultation activities will be coordinated by the PMO, PIU and consultant teams to ensure that the communities are fully aware of the activities at all stages of the project implementation. To provide for more transparency in planning and for further active involvement of APs and other stakeholders, relevant information from this RP will be translated to Bangla made available at (i) offices of LGED and pourashava, (ii) area offices, (iii) consultant teams’ offices and (iv) contractor’s campsites. It will be ensured that the hard copies of this RP are kept at places which are conveniently accessible to people, as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. An electronic version of this RP will be placed in the official website of LGED and pourashava, and ADB’s website after approval of the RP by ADB. Figure 1: Grievance Redress Process

IX. Monitoring and Reporting Internal monitoring. The internal monitoring by PMO and PIUs will include: (i) administrative monitoring to ensure that all compensation as per RP is paid, implementation is on schedule, and problems/grievances are dealt with on a timely basis; (ii) socioeconomic monitoring during and after the relocation process to ensure that people are settled and are better off at the new locations; and (iii) overall monitoring as to whether recovery has taken place successfully and on time.

External monitoring. ADB requires that the borrower retain qualified and experienced external experts to verify monitoring information for projects with significant impacts and risks. An external resettlement monitoring expert18 will be engaged by the PMO to undertake resettlement monitoring and evaluation during RP implementation. Reporting. The PIUs will submit monthly progress reports to PMO. The PMO will review and send semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB during the project implementation period.

Appendix 10: Sample Template for Semi-Annual Social Monitoring Report

A semi-annual monitoring report shall be prepared on Resettlement Plan implementation and submitted to ADB by the PMO. It will include: (1) the list of APs, with compensation, if any due to each and details of compensation paid with signed receipts annexed to the report, socio- economic status and satisfaction levels of APs with the RP implementation process, compensation and mitigation measures; (2) the list of vulnerable APs and additional compensation / special protection measures planned/implemented for them; socio-economic status and satisfaction levels of vulnerable APs with the RP implementation process, compensation and mitigation measures; (3) list of affected common facilities affected, plan to restore access and/or actions taken to restore access to the same or facilities of equal quality elsewhere; (4) list of roads for closure and actions planned / taken to minimise disturbance; (5) details of consultations held with APs (with number of participants by gender, issues raised, conclusion / agreement reached, actions required/taken; (6) details of grievances registered, redressed, outstanding complaints, minutes of GRM meetings held; (7) details of information disclosure and awareness generation activities, levels of awareness among target population and behaviour change, if any; and (8) any other relevant information showing RP implementation progress.
