GLOSSARY

Affected Family (AF): All members of a household residing under one roof and operating as a single economic unit; who are adversely affected by the Project or any of its components. It may consist of a single nuclear family or an extended family group.

Displaced Persons (DPs): All the people affected by the Project through land acquisition, relocation, or loss of income; and include any person, household [sometimes referred to as project affected family (AF)], firms, or public or private institutions. DPs, therefore, include i) persons affected directly by the safety corridor, right-of-way, tower or pole foundations or construction work area; (ii) persons whose agricultural land or other productive assets such as trees or crops are affected; (iii) persons whose businesses are affected and who might experience loss of income due to the project impact; (iv) persons who lose work/employment as a result of project impact; and (v) people who lose access to community resources/property as a result of the project.

Assistance: Support, rehabilitation and restoration measures extended in cash and/or kind over and above the compensation for lost assets.

Compensation: Payment in cash at current market value or in kind for an asset or a resource that is acquired or affected by a project to which the affected people are entitled in order to replace the lost property or income.

Cut-off date: The date, after which people will NOT be considered eligible for compensation, i.e. they are not included in the list of DPs as defined by the census. Normally, the cut-off-date is the date of the detailed measurement survey.

Detailed Measurement Survey: The detailed inventory of losses that is completed after detailed design and marking of project boundaries on the ground.

Encroachers: People who have trespassed onto private/community land to which they are not authorized. If such people arrived before the entitlements cut-off date, they are eligible for compensation for any structures, crops or land improvements that they will lose.

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

Inventory of Losses: The pre-appraisal inventory of assets as a preliminary record of affected or lost assets.

Land acquisition: The process whereby a person is compelled by a public agency to alienate all or part of the land s/he owns or possesses, to the ownership and possession of that agency, for public purposes, in return for fair compensation.

Non-titled: People who have no recognizable rights or claims to the land that they are occupying and includes people using private or state land without permission, permit or grant i.e. those people without legal title to land and/or structures occupied or used by them. ADB’s policy explicitly states that such people cannot be denied compensation.

Project: Energy Sector Development Investment Program funded by ADB.

Rehabilitation: Compensatory measures provided under the Policy Framework on involuntary resettlement other than payment of the replacement cost of obtained assets.

Replacement Cost: Replacement cost means the amount needed to replace an asset and is the value determined as compensation for Houses, shops and other related structures based


__________________________________________________________________________

on current market prices of materials, transportation of materials to construction site, cost of labour and contractor’s fee, and any cost of registration and transfer taxes. In determining replacement cost, depreciation of assets and value of salvaged building materials are not taken into account and no deductions are made for the value of benefits to be derived from the project.

Resettlement: All the impacts associated with loss of physical and non-physical assets, including homes, communities, productive land, income-earning assets and sources, subsistence, resources, cultural sites, social structures, networks and ties, cultural identity, and mutual help mechanisms.

Significant impact: Means 200 people or more will experience major impacts, which are defined as; (i) being physically displaced from housing, or (ii) losing ten per cent or more of their productive assets (income generating).

Executive Summary ES-1: Introduction

1. In order to meet the Afghanistan‘s increased energy supply needs in a timely and cost-

effective manner while diversifying import sources and increasing its capacity for future energy

transit services, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is financing energy projects in Afghanistan

through Energy Sector Development Investment Program (ESDIP). The construction of 91 km

long Aquina - Shabergan 500 kV Single Circuit Transmission Line is a sub-project of Tranche-

4 under this Program. The Project is part of the North East Power System (NEPS) that connects

northern and eastern Afghanistan, and also facilitates power import from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan

and Turkmenistan. This Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for the subproject has

been prepared by DABS through its Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) according to

the provisions of the framework provided in the ADB approved LARP. The sub-project will

improve the power transmission and distribution situation in the provinces of Jowzjan, Faryab

and Balakh provinces of Afghanistan. The subproject is being executed by the Da Afghanistan

Breshna Sherkat (DABS - Afghanistan Electricity Corporation), through its Program

Management Office (PMO), supported by Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC).

ES-2: The Subproject

2. As per final design, a 91 km long Aquina-Shabergan 500 kV Single Circuit Transmission

Line will be constructed in two sections. Section-1 is from Turkmenistan (TKM) border to

Andkhoy SS. It is 29 km long and Section-2 from Andkhoy SS to Sheberghan SS with a length

of 62 km. The existing substations at Andkhoy and Sheberghan will be extended to

accommodate power imports through this transmission line.

ES-3: Resettlement Impacts

3. According to final design, the transmission line will involve the construction of 244 towers

of various specifications. Out of these, 191 towers will be constructed on government lands.

The remaining 53 towers will be constructed on the privately owned lands requiring acquisition

of land on permanent basis. The TL will pass through desert and plain areas, involving different

soil types; i.e., sandy, clayey, and cultivated, etc. Based on their design specifications, towers

of three types; NS5 (type-A), LA5 (type-B) and HA5 (type-C) will be installed. The land

requirement of these tower types will be different according to their specifications.

4. The total 53 towers with LAR impacts will require 22326m2 of land on permanent basis.

There are 44 towers of type A which will require 16423m², 05 towers of type B will require

3115m², and 04 towers of type C will require 2788m² of land. The quantum of land to be acquired

on permanent basis works out to be 11.16 Jerib1. This land is owned by 39 AFs. Table ES-1

provides summary the land to be acquired on permanent basis.

5. Besides permanent land acquisition, land on temporary basis will also be required during

the 3-tier process of tower construction: (i) construction of foundations, (ii) erection of towers,

and (iii) stringing of conductor. The temporary resettlement impacts of the proposed

transmission line are provided in Table ES-2.

ES-4: Compensation for Losses

6. Compensation for Permanent Land Losses: There are 40 AFs whose land is falling

under 53 towers that will be acquired on permanent basis. Until the final decision of DABS on

the demands of the AFs relating to land price, the resettlement budget estimates are based on

the per tower land price of US$ 5000.00, as demanded by the AFs. The amount of land works

out to be 18,059,750 Afghani.

7. Compensation for Permanent Crop Losses: The land to be acquired under tower

bases is cultivated, hence there will be permanent crop loss equal to the area of land under

tower bases. The total compensation as per entitlements works out to be 729,868 Afghani.

8. Land Rent and Crop Compensation for Temporary Occupied Land: Land on

temporary basis will be needed to carry out the 3-tier process of transmission line construction,

i.e., (i) construction of foundations, (ii) erection of towers, and (iii) stringing of power cables. For

this land the only impact will be on the crops for the period of the use of these lands. No fruit or

non-fruit trees will be impacted. The owners will be paid rent for the duration of use of land for

access roads for approaching towers and in the RoW; equal to potential crop loss for the period

of temporary occupation of land. The same amount of compensation will be paid for crop losses.

The land occupation and compensation details are as under.

August 2017 Page xii


Temporary land occupation

All DPs including title holders and non-title holders

• Rent for duration of use equal to potential crop loss plus plot rehabilitation. Tenants to share the lump-sum with land-use certificate holders as per their contract.

• However, no tenants found among the subproject affected persons.

Unforeseen impacts Unforeseen impacts will be documented and mitigated based on the principles agreed in this resettlement plan.

ES-5: Determination of Land Price

11. For the determination of replacement cost of affected land, the Director DABS Andkhoy

requested the provincial governor for the formation of a committee for negotiations with

the affected land owners of TL. The Governor of Faryab District formed the Land Price

Assessment Committee (LPAC) consisting of representatives from different

departments. The Committee consulted with the elders of the area, land department

officials, local property dealers, besides holding meetings with the affected land owners

through local Jirga. After three rounds of discussions with the affected land owners in

the Jirga meetings, the land price assessment committee was successful in determining

a mutually agreed price of Afghani 1150/m2 of affected land.

ES-6: Cut-off-Date

12. For the assessment of LAR impacts of the subproject, Census of DPs and Detailed

Measurement Survey for the revised LARP were undertaken. These surveys were completed

on 31 July 2017 and the same has been established as cut-off date for determining eligibility

for compensation with the consensus of the client. Compensation eligibility is limited by this cut-

off date. Any person moving in the TL RoW after the cut-off date will not be entitled to any kind

of compensation or assistance as per provision made herein.

ES-7: Significance of Impacts

13. According to ADB Involuntary Resettlement policy as embedded in SPS 2009, the

resettlement category of a project is determined by the severity of its involuntary resettlement

impacts. A project is classified as Category “A” and a full LARP is needed if > 200 people suffer

significant impacts (relocation or loss of >10% of productive assets). A project will instead be

classified as Category “B” when less than 200 people suffer significant impacts. Category “C”

projects have no LAR impacts.

14. The number of affected families by this subproject is 39 with a total population of 306

persons. The subproject is classified as of ‘B” category. None of the AFs will be impacted

severely. Total land owned by the 40 AFs is 556 Jerib. The land required for the 53 towers

comes to 11.16 Jerib which is only 2.01% of the total owned. The impact on the individual land

holdings is in the range of 0.37% - 8.38%. There are no vulnerable people and no woman

headed family among the DPs. The subproject will not affect indigenous peoples.

ES-8: Consultation and Disclosure

15. DABS, assisted by the CSC consultants has carried out a series of public consultations

along the TL route in the period from September 2016 to August 2017. In all, 07 consultation

meetings at the local level were organized involving 131 participants. Informal interactions and

interviews with the community people were held to ascertain their views, concerns and opinions.


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page xiii

More importantly, each affected family (AF) was consulted during the conduct of inventory of

losses (IoL) of affected assets and socioeconomic survey.

16. Key features of this LARP have already been disclosed to the DPs through the

community level meetings, and informal interaction between the DPs, consultants and PMO

personnel. As per provisions of LARF, the LARP in English will be posted on the ADB’s website

after its endorsement by the EA. After its approval from the ADB, the LARP will be made

available in the office of the Program Director and local level DABS office as an official public

document. It will be translated into local language (Dari) and made available to DPs upon

request. The final version of the LARP will be posted on the websites of ADB and DABS.

17. An information leaflet (provided as Annex-8) with LAR information including

measurement of losses, detailed asset valuations, entitlements, grievance procedures and

timing of payments will be made available in the local language (Dari) and distributed to DPs.

The PMO, supported by the CSC, will distribute the booklet to the AFs/DPs in order to enable

them to read it by themselves and be aware of the Project’s benefit/compensation as per the

approved LARP provisions.

ES-9: Grievance Redress Mechanism

18. A grievance redress mechanism will be available to allow a DP appealing any disagree-

able decision, practice or activity arising from land or other asset compensation. The main

objective of the grievance redress procedure is to provide a mechanism to mediate conflict and

cut down lengthy litigation which may delay this development sub-project. A Grievance Redress

Committee (GRC) has been established for the subproject in order to receive and facilitate the

resolution of affected peoples’ concerns, complaints, and grievances about the project’s LAR

performance. The GRC is composed of the following members:

• Representative of the District Governor In-Chair

(With judicial experience)

• Representative of DABS Office from concerned district Member

• Representative from CSC (Local Resettlement Specialist) Member

• Affected persons Representatives Member

• One person from non-DPs from TL corridor village Member

19. The committee will be chaired by the representative of the concerned District Governor.

Grievances will be sent in written form to the committee and will be heard and resolved within

21 days of submission of the complaint.

ES-10: Resettlement Budget

20. All funds required for compensating the affected AFs losing land on permanent and temporary basis, including providing compensation for the affected crops will be allocated by the government. The MOF/DABS will ensure that adequate funds are available for carrying out resettlement according to the budgets provided in the LARP. Table ES-4 provides the resettlement budget for the subproject.

ES-11: Monitoring and Evaluation

21. Internal monitoring of all resettlement and consultation tasks and reporting to ADB will

be conducted by the PMO, with assistance from the CSC national and international resettlement

specialists. As recommended in the approved LARP for MFF 0026-AFG: ESDIP–Proposed

Tranche 4, the CSC will also act as External Monitoring Agency (EMA). External monitoring

will be carried out twice a year and its results will be communicated to the PMU and ADB

through semi-annual reports. The EMA shall undertake the following tasks to independently

externally monitor the implementation of the LARP:

• Validation the findings of the census and detailed measurement surveys.

• Evaluation of the quality and timeliness of delivering entitlements.

• Evaluation of Consultation and Grievance Procedures and assess whether grievance

procedures are adequately implemented, as required, and act as observers on the

grievance procedure.

• External monitoring of LARP implementation and follow-up actions by making recommendations for the issuance of no-objection to commence civil works in areas with no pending LAR issues or follow-up actions to address non-compliance issues or complaints.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

1. Afghanistan had very low access to the electricity about a decade back. The Ministry

of Energy and Water estimated that about 30% of Afghans have access to electricity from grid-

based power, micro-hydro, or solar panel stations2. In an emerging economy like Afghanistan,

access to electricity is the main responsible factor to ensure a sustainable growth. It is a crucial

agent to reap the benefits of the present day technological advancements in the fields of

information technology, space technology, communications, agricultural development,

industrial development, etc. To improve the electricity supply situation for the future

development of the country, a number of projects have been implemented by the Government

of Afghanistan. Asian Development Bank (ADB) is financing the transmission and distribution

projects in Afghanistan through Energy Sector Development Investment Program (ESDIP), a

Multi-tranche Financial Facility (MFF) that has been divided into a number of tranches or

groups of subprojects. As a result of these efforts, the supply situation is improving day-by-day

and according to a recent World Bank estimate, about 89.5% of the population has access to

the electricity in 20153.

1.2 Description of the Sub-Projects under Tranche-4

2. The Tranche-4 of the MFF of the Energy Sector Development Investment Program

(ESDIP) is part of the North East Power System (NEPS) that connects northern and eastern

Afghanistan, and also facilitates power import from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

The project involves the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of the following

subprojects:

3. Transmission Lines: i) A new 500 kV Transmission Line of approximately 108

kilometers (km), from the international border between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to

Andkhoy, and from Andkhoy to Sheberghan, and ii) A new 220 kV Transmission Line of

approximately 142 km from Sheberghan to Mizar-e-Sharif

4. Substations: i) A new 220 kV Substation at Andkhoy and at Sheberghan, and ii) An

Expansion of the existing 220kV Substation at Mizar-e-Sharif

5. Distribution Networks: i) Extension to Existing 220 kV Substations at Pul-e-Alam and

Gardez, ii) New Distribution Networks comprising 20 kV and Low Voltage Distribution Lines

and Power Connections at Pul-e-Alam to achieve approximately 10,000 new household

connections, and iii) New Distribution Networks comprising 20 kV and Low Voltage Distribution

Lines and Power Connections at Gardez to achieve approximately 10,000 new household

connections

6. Institutional Support : The project will also provide project management and

implementation support for Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS)

7. The Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS - Afghanistan Electricity Corporation),

established as an independent and autonomous corporation for the generation, import,

transmission and distribution of power across the country, is responsible as the executing

agency (EA) to implement the Project through its Program Management Office (PMO),

supported by Construction and Supervision Consultants (CSC).

8. The present LARP relates to the Aquina-Shabergan 500 kV Single Circuit Transmission

Line subproject (TKM border to Andkhoy SS and Andkhoy SS to Sheberghan SS). The LARP

has been prepared by DABS through the CSC in accordance with the provisions of SPS 2009

and ADB approved Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) for the program.

1.3 Description of the 500 kV Aquina-Shabergan TL Sub-Project

9. The HVTL transmission line sub-project aims to meet Afghanistan‘s increased energy

supply needs in a timely and cost-effective manner while diversifying import sources and

increasing its capacity for future energy transit services. As per final design, the sub-project

involves the construction of a 91 km long Aquina-Shabergan 500 kV Single Circuit

Transmission Line in two sections. Section-1 is from TKM border to Andkhoy SS. It is 29 km

long and Section-2 from Andkhoy SS to Sheberghan SS with a length of 62 km. The existing

substations at Andkhoy and Sheberghan will be extended to accommodate power imports

through this transmission line. The sub-project will improve the power transmission and

distribution situation in the provinces of Jowzjan, Faryab and Balakh provinces of Afghanistan.

The route of the transmission line (TL) is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: The Route of 500 kV Transmission Line (In Red Line)

1.4 Measures to Reduce LAR-related Impacts

10. The following measures have been adopted to minimize project impacts:

• Non-agricultural government-owned land is used wherever possible;

• If the HVTL has to traverse agricultural land, the shortest feasible crossing distance is sought;

• Where tower placement allows it, suitable land is sought from a land user with a large plot to minimize the number of DPs and impact magnitude on any single DP, and

• Built-up areas are avoided wherever possible.

1.5 Update of the LARP

11. A Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for the Transmission Line

Component of the Project was prepared by the DABS in October 2012 to address social and

resettlement impacts of the transmission lines component. It mainly addressed the potential

LAR impacts of the 220 kV transmission line component. The document was prepared as a

requirement of PFR submission. The LARP has been revised for the 500 kV Aquina-

Shabergan Transmission Line sub-project, based on the final design of the sub-project. The

LARP has been prepared in accordance with provisions of the laws in Afghanistan, ADB SPS

2009 and the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) for the MFF; that was

updated and posted on the ADB website in September 2013.

12. This LARP identify, quantify and value the impacts of HVTL on land, crops and structures

in order to determine the compensation package and accordingly its implementation. The

major objective of this LARP is the assessment of type and magnitude of LAR impacts,

eligibility and entitlement of compensation; institutional arrangements for the implementation

of LAR activities as well as the grievance redress mechanism, resettlement cost,

implementation schedule and conducting internal and external monitoring and reporting in

accordance with the revised LARF for the overall MFF.

1.6 LARP-related Conditionality

13. Project implementation works will be contingent on the compliance to the following

conditions:

• Preparation of a LARP: Preparation of an advanced draft of LARP as per provisions of LARF for the programme and preliminary disclosure of draft document;

• Implementation – Start of Contract (construction) for subprojects with: Conditional to the finalization and disclosure of ―implementation-ready LARP acceptable to ADB and reflecting final impacts, displaced persons (DP) lists, and compensation rates.

• Initiation of physical civil works in subproject sections with LAR Impacts: Conditional to full implementation of the LARP including full delivery of compensation and rehabilitation.

2 SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

2.1 Scope and Rational for Land Acquisition

14. The land along the route of Aquina-Shabergan 500 kV Transmission Line is communal

property of the family groups or clans. There is no practice of sale and purchase of land.

However, in case land is required for development projects, acquisition is done through

consultations with the elders of the concerned clans.

15. The major portion of the Section-1 of the HVTL (from TKM border to Andkhoy SS) will

pass through the grazing areas which have been used for years by several clans. These lands

are not titled to any private individual or group. A small portion of the TL will run through the

irrigated lands (by rain and groundwater). These are called private lands. The Section-2 of

the HVTL (from Andkhoy to Shabergan) will be located in the drylands and semi-desert

between the eastern border of Andkhoy area and Sheberghan substation. After Andkhoy, the

HVTL will move along the Faryab and Jowzjan Road where no major infrastructure/settlement

until Sheberghan exists. These are barren lands with no cultivation and with very poor

pastures.

16. The Aquina-Shabergan 500 kV S/C Transmission Line (T/L) will be constructed on a

new alignment involving acquisition of private and government land. According to the route

profile survey report, approximately 17% of the route will cross private land with the balance

87% crossing government land. The RoW of the transmission line is 60m (30m on each side

from the center line of T/L). The T/L will involve construction of 244 towers (with an average

span of approximately 443m) in three phases of construction. These are construction of tower

bases, towers erection and stringing. Implementation of physical works including transporting

of materials and plants to site and stringing of the transmission line will involve a mix of

permanent and temporary acquisition of land. Besides land acquisition on permanent basis,

land will also be acquired on temporary basis for the working perimeter around the tower

bases, construction of access roads to the tower sites and for construction camps. Other

impacts include effect on crops due to temporary land acquisition within RoW for erection and

transportation of towers, as well as due to conductor stringing. Apart from land and crop

impacts, the project will not impact any structures (residential & commercial), public and

common property resources, assets or sources of livelihoods.

2.2 Establishment of Cut-off Date

17. For the assessment of LAR impacts of the subproject, a Census of DPs and a Detailed

Measurement Survey (DMS) were undertaken. These surveys were completed on July 31,

2017 and the same has been established as cut-off date for determining eligibility for

compensation in consultation of the client. This cut-off date was publicly announced during

the consultation meetings with the DPs for determining the value of affected land, crops and

other assets, as well as announcements in the mosques along the project corridor, through

Offices of the Governors at districts Andkhoy and Shabergan. Compensation eligibility is

limited by this cut-off date. People moving in the project area after the cut-off date will not be

entitled to any kind of compensation or assistance as per provision made herein. They,

however, will be given sufficient advance notice, to vacate premises/dismantle affected

structures prior to project implementation. Their dismantled structures will not be confiscated


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 5

and they will not pay fines or sanctions. Forced eviction will only be considered if all other

efforts are exhausted.

2.3 Census of DPs and Socioeconomic Survey

18. The land and resettlement impacts of the subproject works were estimated by

conducting a subproject level census of the affected families, combined with a socioeconomic

survey. These surveys were carried out by the PMPIC staff. The heads of all the AFs (on

100% basis) were interviewed. The women of the AFs were also interviewed by the female

members of the survey team. The surveys aimed at to make an inventory of losses (IoL) and

to develop a baseline of socioeconomic status of the AFs as a benchmark for future monitoring

purposes. A structured questionnaire, provided as Appendix-1 was used to collect detailed

information about the DPs.

2.4 Minimization of Impacts

19. All possible steps to safeguard and minimize the likely adverse impacts on local

communities in the final design of transmission line have been ensured. The following specific

actions have been applied to avoid and minimize the likely resettlement impacts of this

subproject:

• Non-agricultural government-owned land is used wherever possible;

• If the HVTL has to traverse agricultural land, the shortest feasible crossing distance is

sought;

• Where tower placement allows it, suitable land is sought from a land user with a large

plot to minimize the number of DPs and impact magnitude on any single DP, and

• Built-up areas are avoided wherever possible.

• A minimum clearance under the line as per design requirements has been maintained

for the whole line.

20. As a result, out of 244 line towers, the major part of the transmission line, about 83%

traverses through the government lands. Only 17% of the transmission line will pass through

the private agricultural lands where only the agricultural crops will be partially affected by the

execution of project works.

2.5 Impacts of the Subproject

21. The subproject will cause two types of impacts; i) permanent impacts and ii) temporary

impacts. The permanent impacts will confined to the acquisition of private lands, mainly for

the tower bases. Apart from this, the subproject will not impact any trees, residential houses,

commercial structures or sources of livelihood. The temporary impacts include effects on

crops only due to clearance of the RoW for stringing activity and temporary acquisition of land

for work area around the towers bases and for the access roads for transporting the machinery

and equipment for the construction and erection of towers and stringing of conductor.

2.6 Permanent Impacts

22. Land Losses: As per final design, transmission line will involve the construction of 244

towers of different specifications, according to final design. Out of these, 191 towers will be

constructed on government lands. The remaining 53 towers will be constructed on the


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 6

privately owned lands requiring acquisition of land on permanent basis. The TL will pass

through desert and plain areas, involving different soil types; i.e., sandy, clayey, and

cultivated, etc. Based on their design specifications, towers of three types; type-A, type-B and

type-C will be installed. The land requirement of these tower types are as per information in

Table 2.1. For individual AFs, the details are provided in Annex-1.

23. Crop Losses: The acquisition of land will also cause crop losses to the same amount

of land under tower bases.

Total 53 22326 11.163 2.232

2.6.1 Temporary Impacts

24. In addition to permanent land acquisition, land on temporary basis will also be needed

to carry out the 3-tier process of transmission line construction, i.e., (i) construction of

foundations, (ii) erection of towers, and (iii) stringing of power cables. For the land needed for

these activities, only impact will be on the crops on that area for the period of the use of these

lands.

25. Towers Construction: Land will be required in 2 meter width around the tower base

for the access, working and storage purposes. This area will be affected by the construction

works. This area has been calculated as 81m2, 104m2 and 110m2 for tower types “A”, “B” and

“C”, respectively. The farmlands around towers will be affected temporarily causing loss of

crops during (i) construction of tower foundations and (ii) erection of towers. Thus, it will cause

crop losses for two consecutive cropping seasons, namely: (i) 1st Season = Summer Oilseed

Crop; and (ii) 2nd Season = winter Wheat crop. Accordingly, cash compensation will be paid

to the AFs for the loss of their crops for two consecutive cropping seasons.

26. Access Roads: Land for access roads will be required with varied distances. The

width of the access roads will 4m. Total land required on temporary basis for access roads

works out to be 42220m2. The farmlands around towers will be affected temporarily causing

loss of crops during (i) construction of tower foundations and (ii) erection of towers. The

stringing activity will be completed during one cropping season, for which one-crop

compensation will be paid. Thus, it will cause crop losses for three consecutive cropping

seasons under the access roads, namely: (i) 1st Season = Summer Oilseed Crop; (ii) 2nd

Season = winter Wheat crop; and (iii) 3rd Season = Summer Oilseed Crop. Accordingly, cash

compensation will be paid to the AFs for the loss of their crops for three consecutive cropping

seasons.

27. Stringing of TL: The stringing of transmission line involves the movement of

equipment and machinery in the RoW thus causing damage to crops. The sections of the

transmission line in between the towers (TL Corridor) are affected during the stringing of

conductor. This last activity is usually carried out rapidly, one stretch at a time, and will be


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 7

completed during one cropping season, for which one-crop compensation for Summer

Oilseed Crop will be paid. It is estimated that a 4m wide corridor under 53 towers on privately

owned land with an average span of 364m will further affect 77183m2 of land during stringing

activity. Agriculture will be possible in the ROW again after finalizing the construction period.

28. The estimated temporary resettlement impacts of the proposed transmission line are

provided in Table 2.2.

29. The AFs will be paid their compensation before the start of construction of

transmission line. They will be adequately informed regarding the entitlements, process of

compensation payments and construction schedule. The External Monitor, supplementing the

internal monitoring, will subsequently verify the process. Details of area to be taken on

temporary basis are provided in Annex-2.

2.6.2 Number of Affected Families (AFs)

30. The survey has revealed that 2.23 hectares of cultivated land, falling under 53 towers

will be acquired on permanent basis. This land is owned by 40 land owner operators and no

tenants or sharecroppers are identified during the census survey. By applying the average

HH size of 7.86 persons, the total number of DPs works out to be 314.

2.6.3 Number of Encroachers

31. Two encroachers have been found in the proposed transmission line route during the

census survey. They cultivate wheat crop only on the encroached government land. These

AFs are not entitled for land compensation. They are entitled for crop loss only and will be

paid compensation equal to one crop loss (Summer Oilseeds). For future, they will be

informed by the project functionaries not to cultivate any crop on the government land as the

government needs this land for the construction of transmission line.

32. One of the encroachers is Mr. Asadullah S/o Esmatullah, who is cultivating land falling

under Towers No. 4D/15 to 4D/21, AP 5/0 and Tower No. 5/1 (Total 9 towers). The affected

land under these towers is 3683m2. The other is Mr. Khodey Berdi who is cultivating

government land falling under Towers No. 6/1, 6/2 and 6/3. The affected land under these

towers works out to 1443m2.

2.6.4 Indigenous & Vulnerable Persons and Female Headed Households

33. According to the findings of the socioeconomic survey, the majority of the population

along the project corridor relates to Uzbek and Tajik tribes. The other dominant ethnic groups

include Pashtun and Hazara. There is no vulnerable ethnic group as these are the mainstream

population with no ethnic diversity or indigenous characteristic and they all equally participate

in the socioeconomic activities, local political life and to the Afghan multi-ethnic national

culture. The main languages in the area are Turkmani, Uzbek and Dari. According to findings


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 8

of the survey, 100 % of the families residing along the project corridor were found to be

followers of Islam. The survey also revealed no female headed HHs in the project corridor.

2.6.5 Archaeological, Historical and Religious Sites

34. No archaeological, historical and religious sites were observed along the proposed

project corridor.

2.6.6 Infrastructure within RoW

35. No public infrastructure including telephone pole, electric poles, schools, hospitals,

offices, etc. will be impacted within the RoW.

2.6.7 Significance of Impacts

36. A project’s involuntary resettlement category is determined by the category of its most

sensitive component in terms of involuntary resettlement impacts. According to the ADB

approved LARF for the Program, resettlement impacts are considered significant if > 200

people are physically displaced from housing or lose 10% or more of their productive assets

(income generating). Such projects are classified as category “A”. Projects which will create

non-significant impacts (physically displacing < 200 people or a loss of <10% of income

generating assets) are classified as category “B” projects. In both cases, a LARP is prepared.

37. As far as the Aquina-Shebergan 500 kV TL is concerned, the permanent and

temporary impacts on land and loss of crops will be minor or non-significant for all AFs. The

number of affected families by this subproject is 40, with a total population of 314 persons.

However, the magnitude of impact is not significant as none of the AF/DP is either being

relocated or losing more than 10% of his productive asset permanently, as shown in Table

2.3. The AFs own relatively large area and none will lose >10% of their total crop. The 4m

wide corridor in the proposed RoW will be used temporarily as a working corridor for

installation and stringing of the power line.

Table 2.3: Extent of Land Losses

Total Land Owned (Jerib) 550.70 - - - Affected Land (Jerib) 11.16 - - - Affected as % of Total (Overall) 2.01 - - -

38. Moreover, there are no vulnerable and women headed households among AFs.

Majority families are living in a joint/ extended family system which also assists in providing a

safety net against external economic shocks. Finally, the overall impacts on the AFs are

minor. Given the very small land acquisition impacts for the foundations of towers, and the

ability of affected families (AFs) to continue the use of land under towers after construction,

no AF falls under severely affected as mandated by the ADB policy (i.e. losses more than

10% of its income). The Project, therefore, is classified as Category B as per ADB safeguard

policy.

3 SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS

3.1 General

39. 41. The transmission line traverse through three provinces namely Jawzjan, Balkh and

Faryab. No land acquisition issues are encountered in Jawzjan and Balkh Provinces. All the

40 AFs with land issues relate to Faryab province. A survey in the Project corridor was carried

out to develop a socio-economic baseline of the general population along the project corridor.

The survey was conducted by a team of sociologists comprising male and female members.

For socioeconomic survey, 21 AFs (53%) were selected at random from the total affected as

identified during census survey. Interviews were held with the heads of the AFs and the female

members of the family at their residences to collect socioeconomic information of the affected

population.

3.2 Demographic Characteristics of the Affected People

3.2.1 Population and Family Size

40. The total population of the sample study works out as 165 persons comprising 95

males and 70 females. The proportion of male and female works out as 58% and 42%,

respectively. The average family size calculates to be 7.86 persons. The information about

population and family size is provided in Table 3.1.

3.3.2 Ethnic Characteristics and Religion

45. The survey has revealed that majority of the population residing along the project

corridor with LAR impacts relates to Uzbek and Tajik tribes. The other dominant ethnic groups

include Pashtun and Hazara. There is no vulnerable ethnic group and they all equally

participate in the socioeconomic activities, local political life and to the Afghan multi-ethnic

national culture. Notwithstanding their linguistic differences and cultural peculiarities, none of

these groups displays a degree of inferiority towards the others. All the households can be

termed as mainstream population. No ethnic diversity or indigenous characteristic were

observed among the AFs. The main languages in the area are Turkmani, Uzbek and Dari.

46. According to findings of the survey, 100 % of the families residing along the project

corridor were found to be followers of Islam.

3.3.3 Characteristics of the Family Heads

47. Regarding age distribution, majority of the family heads was in active age group, as

shown in Table 3.6.

3.4 Occupations, Income and Vulnerability Status of the Respondents

3.4.1 Occupational Status

49. The survey has revealed that agriculture is the main occupation of all the 40 AFs.

However, all of them adopted other occupations as well, along with farming, to supplement


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 12

their family incomes. These occupations are; to work in the government and private offices,

running of shops, trading, work as drivers and labourers.

50. The earning segment of the surveyed AFs is 18%. Of these, 13% are the heads of the

AFs and the remaining 5% are the family members who contribute to the incomes of their

families. The 82% of the total population are non-earning. Among these, 02% are

unemployed, 18% are students and 17% are household women with no outside economic

activity. The remaining 45% are Children. The occupational status of the respondents is

The income status of the DPs was related to the poverty line in Afghanistan. The average annual income of the AFs, works out as 305,714 Afghani which comes to 25,476 Afghani per AF per month, 849 Afghani per AF per day and 108 Afghani per capita/day. A study on “National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment” was carried out by the Central Statistics Organization (CSO) with technical assistance from ICON-Institute Public Sector Gmbh in 2011-124. Based on per capita minimum caloric requirements to meet the basic needs, this study calculated the OPL for Afghanistan as 1710 Afghani per capita per month. The latest estimate of inflation–adjusted poverty line (based on Consumer Price Index data)5 per capita per month in 2016 comes to 1937 Afghani. The OPL for an average affected family works out to be Afg. 182,697 (1937x7.86x12). The figure calculates to 15225 Afghani per AF per month, 507 Afghani per AF per day and 65 Afghani per capita per day. The analysis reveals that all the AFs have their incomes greater than the OPL. The average daily per capita income is also more than the assumed international poverty line of $1.25 per capita per day.

53. The analysis indicates that all professional categories of the DPs are earning higher

than the OPL. It is hoped that the project activities in the area will help in generating enhanced

employment opportunities, particularly for the unskilled workers in its construction stage and

also the increased business opportunities. On its completion, more working opportunities will

be generated through increased socio–economic activity in the area, thus making positive

impacts on the incomes of the local communities.

3.4.4 Income Distribution and Vulnerability Status

54. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy of the AFs and occupation of all the heads

of affected households is farming. However, all the heads of AFs are supplementing their

incomes by practicing other professions along with farming. Some of the AFs are also

supported by their family members who earn income from the sources other than agriculture.

The income of the majority of the AFs ranges from 200,000 Afghani to 400,000 Afghani. The

income levels of the affected households are shown in Table 3.11.

3.4.5 Expenditure Pattern of the AFs

55. The baseline information relating to the family expenditure pattern in respect of

affected sample population is shown in Table 3.12.

Table 3.12: Average Monthly Expenditure of the AFs (Afghani)

Expenditures Total Monthly Total Annual %

Food Expenditure 9,872 118,469 45.06

Healthcare 611 7,335 2.79

Total 21,911 262,939 100.00

56. The data indicates that the expenditure on food and non-food items comes to about

73% whereas the expenses on utilities amount to 7% of the total household expenditure. The

expenses on health care amounts to 3%. A big chunk of expenditures (13%) relates to

occasional (social ceremonies relating to marriages, deaths, etc.). The expenses on clothes

and shoes amounts to 5% of the total family expenditure. The average annual family

expenses of 262,393 Afghani come to 86% of the average annual income of 305,714 Afghani.

3.5 Standard of Living Indicators

3.5.1 Housing

57. The information in respect of housing conditions indicates that the majority of the

houses (81%) are built with bricks and cement and remaining 19% with bricks and mud. About

38% of the houses have 3 living rooms, 45% have 4 living rooms and 19% are with 5 living

rooms. There is no house having more than 5 rooms. Table 3.13 provides information about

3.5.2 Possession of Household Items

58. The information on the possession of electronics and other household items by the

affected families was collected to estimate their lifestyle with regard to present day

technological advancement in household goods. The survey has revealed that the people of

project area tend to enjoy the modern day life. It is very much reflective from the possession

of household items analysis. The firm supply of electricity and improvement in the electricity

distribution system will make positive impacts on the socio-economic behaviour of the people

of area with respect to personal attitudes, economic efficiency and acceptance of

developmental activities. The data in respect of possession of household items is provided in

Table 3.14.

59. The results of the socioeconomic survey reveal that electricity, health care and

education were available along the transmission line corridor, according to 100% of the

respondents. However, 100% of the respondents were not satisfied with the electricity supply

situation. Similarly, 81% and 71% of the respondents were not satisfied with the performance

of health care and education facilities, respectively. Gas was available in the area through

cylinder supply by the private sector, but 48% of the respondents expressed their

dissatisfaction on the supply situation. Availability of other amenities such as water supply,

telephone and sewerage/ drainage was not reported by any of the respondents. The

information in respect of access to social amenities and quality of services is given in Table

3.6 Gender Impacts

60. The female population in Afghanistan, according to 2017 figures is around 48 %.

Under this situation, the gender issues assume special focus and need to be properly

addressed. No doubt, over the last 15 years, Afghan women have shown unmatched

resilience in making strides from Taliban oppression toward gender equality. Millions of girls

are now in school, filling seats that, under the Taliban, no girl could fill. And more women are

participating in politics, business, journalism, and activism. Despite all these facts, the social


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 17

and cultural context of the society of Afghanistan is predominantly patriarchal and project

corridor is of no exception. Men and women are conceptually divided into two separate worlds.

Home is defined as a woman’s legitimate ideological and physical space, while a man

dominates the world outside the home. The false ideological demarcation between public and

private, inside and outside worlds is maintained through the notion of honour and institution

of purdah in Afghanistan. In the cultural context of Afghanistan, women’s wage work is

considered a threat to the male ego and identity. But on the other hand, women constitute

about 48 % of the country’s population and they assume important economic roles in a wide

range of income generating activities in the agricultural and household sectors.

61. During the socio-economic survey, it was observed that routine life of a woman

revolves around her home and children. The activities they are involved in are fetching water,

cooking food, collection of fire wood, washing clothes and utensils, livestock rearing especially

goat/ sheep and livestock grazing. Social status of women is not better. They have not equal

rights in legacy and greater say in the routine life matters. The women’s involvement remains

limited to domestic matters only. In most of the cases men sell the agricultural products and

spent the income for their families, including women. Women of the area are in quite miserable

condition due to the non-availability of basic amenities like vocational training center, girl’s

high schools, maternity hospital, etc.

3.6.1 Women Role in Socio-economic Activities

62. In the project corridor, men as well as women are economically active and contribute

to the household economy. Men are the main responsible for agriculture activities from

cultivating to irrigation and looking after the crops up to collecting the harvest. Women support

the men of their family in agriculture mainly during the cultivating time (weeding) and during

the harvest. Women also contribute to agro processing (prevailingly with regard to their

family‘s own products). In case of purchasing food and clothes, a recent study shows that

majority of the decision is made by women. Men mainly decide if household devices,

agriculture inputs and utensils or animals are purchased. The men are also the main decision

makers for school enrolment for both boys and girls. Men control major household assets.

63. The survey has revealed that participation rate of women in various socio-economic

activities in the project corridor is generally high, about 96% in case of household activities.

For child caring, their participation rate was 86%. Their participation rate on at the farm

activities and on property matters is low. Their participation rate in case of livestock rearing

was 54% and for social obligations it stood at 86%. The women of the area have negligent

role in the local representation and political matters.

64. As far as decision making for different activities is concerned, their involvement in case

of household matters was the highest, about 80%. Their role in decision making in case of

child caring and social obligations was 70% and 65%, respectively. For other matters, the

involvement of the women was between these two limits. Information in respect of women

participation and decision making in the routine socio-economic life is presented in Table 3.16.

3.7 Pressing Needs of Communities

65. People residing close the proposed 500 kV transmission line and the people whose

land is located close to the proposed transmission line wished to have some help from the

Government for raising their quality of life. The facilities wished for are shown in the order of

priority in table 3.17. The four most preferred needs include hospital/dispensaries, drinking

water supply, upgrading of boys and girls schools and provision of land line telephone.

4 LEGAL, POLICY FRAMEWORK AND ENTITLEMENTS

4.1 Policy and Legal Framework for Land Acquisition and Resettlement

66. The policy framework for the Project is based on Land Acquisition Law of Afghanistan;

and the ADB policy on Involuntary Resettlement as embedded in the approved Land

Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) for tranches under MFF.

4.2 Land Acquisition and Resettlement Legislation in Afghanistan

67. There is no country specific resettlement policy in Afghanistan. A comprehensive land

policy was approved in 2007 by the Cabinet, but it has yet to be fully operationalized. The

new Constitution of Afghanistan was ratified in early 2004. It has 3 articles that closely relate

to compensation and resettlement.

4.3 Relevant LAR related Provisions from the LAL

68. For the purpose of public interest like the establishment/construction of public

infrastructure and facilitation for acquisition of land with cultural or scientific values, land of

higher agricultural productivity, large gardens, LAL provides that:

• The acquisition of a plot or a portion of plot, for public interest is decided by the Council

of Ministers and will be compensated at fair value based on the current market rates

(section 2).

• The acquisition of a plot or part of it should not prevent the owner from using the rest of

the property or hamper its use. If this difficulty arises, the whole property will be acquired

(section 4).


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 19

• The right of the owner or land user will be terminated 3 months prior to start of civil works

on the project and after the proper reimbursement to the owner or person using the land

has been made. The termination of the right of the landlord or the person using the land

would not affect their rights on collecting their last harvest from the land, except when

there is emergency evacuation (section 6).

• In case of land acquisition, the following factors shall be considered for compensation:

value of land; value of houses, buildings and the land; values of trees, orchards and

other assets on land (section 8).

• The value of land depends on the category and its geographic location (section 11).

• A person whose residential land is subject to acquisition will receive a new plot of land

of the same value. He has the option to get residential land or a house on government

property in exchange, under proper procedures (section 13).

• It can be arranged with the owner if he wishes to exchange his property subject to

acquisition with government land. The difference on the values of land will be calculated

(section 15).

• The values of orchards, vines and trees on land under acquisition shall be determined

by the competent officials of the municipality (section 16).

• When a property is evaluated at the current rate at the locality concerned, the owner or

his representative must be present at the time of measuring and evaluation of the

property

• It is Afghan practice to recognize traditional or informal land rights

• Compensation and rehabilitation is provided before the land is acquired

4.4 ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement

69. ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy as embedded in Safeguard Policy Statement

(SPS) 2009 provides comprehensive guidance on complying with the requirements for

environmental and social safeguards (involuntary resettlement and Indigenous Peoples) in

Projects. It aims to avoid or minimize the impacts on people affected by a project, and to

provide support and assistance for those who lose their land and property, as well as for

others whose livelihoods are affected by the acquisition of land or restriction on land use.

Resettlement planning is designed to provide DPs with a standard of living equal to, if not

better than, that which they had before the project. The policy is guided by the following

principles:

• Involuntary resettlement is to be avoided or at least minimized to the possible extent;

• Compensation must ensure the maintenance or improvement of the DPs’ pre-project

living standards;

• DPs should be fully informed and consulted on compensation options;

• DPs’ socio-cultural institutions should be supported/used as much as possible;

• Compensation should be carried out with equal consideration of women and men;

• Lack of formal legal land title should not be a hindrance to assistance/rehabilitation;

• Particular attention should be paid to households headed by women and vulnerable

groups, such as indigenous people and ethnic minorities, and appropriate assistance

should be provided to help them improve their status;

• Land acquisition and resettlement should be conceived and executed as a part of the

Project, and the full costs of compensation should be included in project costs;


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 20

• Compensation/rehabilitation assistance will be paid prior to ground levelling and

demolition, and in any case, before an impact occurs.

70. A project’s involuntary resettlement category is determined by the category of its most

sensitive component in terms of involuntary resettlement impacts. The involuntary

resettlement impacts of an ADB-supported project are considered significant if 200 or more

persons will experience major impacts, which are defined as (i) being physically displaced

from housing, or (ii) losing 10% or more of their productive assets (income generating). The

level of detail and comprehensiveness of the resettlement plan are commensurate with the

significance of the potential impacts and risks.

4.5 Gap Analysis between Afghanistan’s LAL and ADB IR Policy

71. The Land Acquisition Law (LAL) of Afghanistan and the ADB policy diverge on some

key points related to the compulsory acquisition of land. The LAL does not require adequate

consultation with affected parties; it simply requires that declaration and notice be given about

temporary use of land or acquisition or resumption of land (lease) and the purposes for which

it is required. Nor does the LAL require preparation of a documenting process, consultations

with DPs, or any specification of procedure for the acquisition and compensation. Finally, the

LAL does not entitle to compensation DPs without title nor provides compensation for income

losses caused by LAR. Table 4.1 presents the differences between the LAL and the ADB

safeguards; and identifies the resolutions taken on this LARP to reconcile the gaps. Any

difference between Afghanistan law and ADB policy will be resolved in favour of the latter.

land, except if there is

emergency

The LARP provides for crops

compensation whether they have been

harvested or not; to avoid civil works

delays and pressures on land users to

harvest a crop before it is fully ripe.

Land users harvesting their crops after

notification of the land occupation date

will not lose any part of their due

compensation.

The DPs should be

compensated and/or

assisted, so that their

economic/social future is

generally as favourable as

it would have been without

the Project.

LAL do not provide for

rehabilitation

compensations.

The LARP provides that compensation

will be provided for crops in the RoW

and under tower/pole bases. Significant

additional impacts are not expected.

The LARP also provides for assistance

to vulnerable and for those DPs to be

relocated.

4.6 Remedial Measures to Bridge the Gap

72. In principle, Afghanistan’s Laws and ADB Policy adhere not only to the objective of

compensation for affected families, but also to the objective of rehabilitation. However, to

clarify certain issues and reconcile eventual gap between Afghanistan’s Law and ADB Policy,

the DBAS prepared a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) for the Program,

ensuring compensation at replacement cost of all items, the rehabilitation of informal settlers,

and the provision of subsidies or allowances for AHs that may be dislocated, suffer business

losses, or may be severely affected. The present LARP has been prepared based on the ADB

approved LARF.

4.7 Sub-Project Resettlement Principles

73. Existing gaps in the Afghan land laws and ADB policy on Involuntary Resettlement

have addressed in the LARF to make these consistent with the principles of ADB’s Policy on

Involuntary Resettlement as embedded in the Safeguards Policy Statement (2009). Based on

the above the following principles have been adopted for the preparation of this LARP.

• DP/AF’s impacts must be avoided or minimized as much as possible.


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 22

• If impacts are unavoidable, the DPs/AFs losing assets, livelihood or other resources will be fully compensated and/or assisted so that they improve or at least restore their former economic and social conditions.

• Compensation will be provided at full replacement cost, free of depreciation, transfer costs or eventual salvaged materials.

• Provincial Land Settlement Commission will facilitate changing of land use certifications of AFs without fee charges.

• Information on the preparation/ implementation of the LARP will be disclosed to all DPs and people’s participation will be ensured in LARP planning and implementation stages.

• Before taking possession of the acquired lands and commencing construction, compensation will be paid in accordance with the provision described in this updated LARP. No land will be taken until the legitimate user is compensated or rehabilitated as provided in this LARP.

• Lack of formal legal land title is not a bar to compensation or rehabilitation. A Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) including representatives of the DPs will be established to resolve any conflicts which may arise during the compensation process.

• Compensation measures will equally apply across gender lines and vulnerable groups if any identified.

• Consultation with the DPs will continue during the implementation of LARP.

• The full compensation of the losses and the preparation of a compliance report by the Independent Monitoring Agency will be a condition for initiating civil works.

4.8 Compensation Eligibility & Entitlement

74. This LARP ensures that all persons affected by the acquisition of land and other fixed

assets, by change in the use of land and by the restrictions imposed by subproject activities

on land use, will get appropriate compensation and rehabilitation assistance.

4.8.1 Eligibility for Compensation

75. AFs entitled to land compensation are those with (i) title, (ii) official deed, (iii) unofficial

written deed, and (iv)AFs in the absence of these documents are declared as legitimate

traditional land holders of the land they use by the Shura, Jirga or Elders of the local village.

76. Eligibility for compensation has been determined on the basis of a cut-off date. The

Census of DPs and Detailed Measurement Survey for the revised LARP were completed on

July 31, 2017 and the same has been established as cut-off date with consensus of the Client

for determining eligibility for compensation. Compensation eligibility is limited by this cut-off

date. People moving in the project area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to any kind of

compensation or assistance as per provision made herein.

4.8.2 Compensation Entitlements

77. The TL will only affect the privately owned cultivated lands under the tower bases.

Except for land, the TL will not impact any other assets like trees, residential or business/

commercial structures and other infrastructure within the RoW. Besides, the TL will

temporarily affect the crops within the working perimeter of tower bases, access roads and in

the RoW at the stringing phase of TL. Entitlement provisions for DPs suffering land and crop


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 23

losses and for rehabilitation allowances have been made in accordance with the provisions

of LARF as detailed in the Entitlement Matrix.

78. Agricultural Land: All the private land to be affected by 500 kV transmission line

belongs to the farmers of Andkhoy and Khan Chabagh Districts of Faryab Province. As per

provisions of ADB SPS 2009, the affected land is to be compensated at replacement cost.

For the determination of replacement cost of affected land, the Director DABS Andkhoy

requested the provincial governor for the formation of a committee for negotiations with the

affected land owners of TL, for the assessment of price of their land. The Governor of Faryab

District formed the Land Price Assessment Committee (LPAC) consisting of representatives

from different departments, as provided in Annex-3.

79. The Committee consulted with the elders of the area, land department officials, local

property dealers, besides holding meetings with the affected land owners through local Jirga.

After three rounds of discussions with the affected land owners in the Jirga meetings, the land

price assessment committee was successful in determining a mutually agreed price of

Afghani 1150/m2 of affected land. The proceedings of the price assessment committee are

provided in Annex-4.

Consultation Meeting for Land Value Assessment for 500 KV TL.

At District Governor office

The resettlement budget estimates are based on the land price of Afghani 1150/m2, as

demanded by the LPAC. There are 39 AFs whose land is falling under 53 towers that will be

acquired on permanent basis. The amount of land works out to be 25,675,353 Afghani.

80. Permanent Crop Losses: The land to be acquired under tower bases is cultivated,

hence there will be permanent crop loss equal to the area of land under tower bases. The

owners will be entitled to compensation equal to one year (two crop seasons) crop loss in

addition to land price. They will be provided crop rehabilitation allowance equal to market

value of 1 gross harvest of wheat. The compensation for permanent crop losses works out to

be 247,909 Afghani. The compensation details for permanent land and crop losses for

individual AFs are provided in Annex-5.

81. Temporary Land Acquisition: In addition to permanent land acquisition, land on

temporary basis will also be needed to carry out the 3-tier process of transmission line

construction, i.e., (i) construction of foundations, (ii) erection of towers, and (iii) stringing of


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 24

power cables. For the land needed for these activities, in addition to land rent, the other impact

will be on the crops on that area for the period of the use of these lands. No fruit or non-fruit

trees will be impacted. The owners will be paid rent for the duration of use of land for access

roads for approaching towers and in the RoW; equal to potential crop loss for the period of

temporary occupation of land.

82. Temporary Crop Losses: The farmlands around towers will affect two crops during

construction of tower foundations and erection of towers. Thus, it will cause crop losses for

two consecutive cropping seasons, namely: (i) 1st Season = Summer Oilseed Crop; and (ii)

2nd Season = winter Wheat crop and will be entitled for compensation of these crops. The

farmlands under access roads will cause crop losses for three consecutive cropping seasons,

namely: (i) 1st Season = Summer Oilseed Crop; (ii) 2nd Season = winter Wheat crop; and (iii)

3rd Season = Summer Oilseed Crop. Accordingly, the owners will be entitled for compensation

for the loss of three crops. The stringing activity will be completed during one cropping season,

for which one-crop compensation for Summer Oilseed Crop will be paid. The cash

compensation will be paid to the AFs for the loss of their crops.

83. The owners of the temporarily occupied land will be compensated for their affected

crops according to their entitlements as per rates provided in Table 3.9. The information about

temporarily required land, its rent and compensation for temporary crop losses is provided as

under. The compensation details for temporary losses are provided in Annex-6.

84. Crop Losses of Encroachers: Two encroachers have been found in the proposed

transmission line route during the census survey. They are cultivating on the encroached

government land. These AFs are not entitled for land compensation. They are entitled for crop

loss only and will be paid compensation equal to one year crop loss (Summer Oilseeds and

Winter Wheat). They will be provided crop rehabilitation allowance equal to market value of 1

gross harvest of summer oilseeds. For future, they will be informed by the project functionaries

not to cultivate any crop on the government land as the government needs this land for the

construction of transmission line. The total affected crop area on encroached land under 12

towers comes to 5127m2 with total crop compensation of 33,054 Afghani.

85. Allowance for Vulnerable AFs: The vulnerable DPs (DPs below poverty line,

disabled household heads, women household heads with dependents, elderly households

with no means of support etc.) will be eligible for one time paid cash assistance equal to 3

month’s average household income, in addition to the other admissible compensation.

However, no vulnerable or women headed families are found along the TL route.

86. Compensation for Unforeseen Impacts: Unforeseen impacts will be documented

and mitigated based on the principles agreed in this LARP.

4.9 Sub-Project Entitlements Matrix

87. The Entitlement Matrix (EM) for the Aquina-Shebergan 500 kV Transmission Line has

been drawn from the entitlement matrix of the ADB approved LARP. The EM has been

confined for defining the compensation entitlements to the identified impacts of the TL during

the census survey.

5 CONSULTATIONS AND DISCLOSURE

5.1 Consultation Undertaken for the LARP

88. Consultation with stakeholders at the different stages of the subproject construction is

required by ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement and approved LARF. The aim of

consultations is to involve deliberations of social issues with the project stakeholders including

the affected families, local community leaders, local governments, local NGOs and other

concerned; to ensure that all social issues and concerns are discussed and impacts are

identified. The consultative process for the preparation of the LARP has included the affected

households, relevant departments and local communities of the area to ensure that their views

have been considered in the formulation

of the LARP.

89. DABS, through the CSC

consultants has carried out a series of

public consultations along the TL route

through the period from September 2016

to August 2017. In all, 07 consultation

meetings at the local level were

organized involving 131 participants.

90. The primary purpose of these

meetings was to inform the affected

people and the local community about

the Project and the likely impacts,

resettlement policy, compensation and grievance redress mechanism. Informal interactions

and interviews with the community people were held to ascertain their views, concerns and

opinions. More importantly, each affected family (AF) was consulted during the conduct of

inventory of losses (IoL) of affected assets and socioeconomic survey.

5.2 Suggestions/ Concerns Raised by the Communities

91. Consultation is a continuous process that started at the project preparatory stage and

will continue till project completion. Based on the consultations with the DPs and general

public, a number of concerns were highlighted and accordingly some feedback was also

provided. The communities’ and especially the AFs’ responses to the proposed subproject

were found to be positive. They offered all the necessary cooperation for the construction of

the transmission line. The suggestions/ concerns. The Specific Concerns relating to Land

and Crops Compensation raised by the communities during the consultations are listed below:

• The transmission line should be routed from barren lands.

• The damage to at the farm facilities such as watercourses should be reprieved immediately so that the crops are not affected due to construction activities.

• The value of that particular piece of land is decreased in which a tower is installed. The owners of such land should be compensated by providing free electricity connections.

• The compensation of affected land, crops and other assets should be according to the current rates as government rates are generally low.

• The compensation should be paid to the affected persons prior to the commencement of construction of the transmission line.


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 28

• The procedure for payment should be short, easier and less time consuming.

92. The General concerns and suggestion as expressed by the AFs during the

consultations related to different stages of project. These are categorized as under.

• Design Stage related Concerns/ Suggestions

• The transmission line should be routed away from settlements and as far as possible through government lands.

• Special attractive compensation package should be given to the farmers in whose lands the towers are constructed.

• The owners of the affected land should be consulted at each stage of project works.

• Construction Stage related Concerns/ Suggestions

• The construction activities should not restrict the mobility of the people.

• Routine working of local women should not be hindered during the construction phase of the project.

• Construction works should be completed as per schedule.

• Contractors should be bound to set up their camps away from settlements.

• Contractor should pay the rent of land used for the work camps.

• Contractors should be bound to rehabilitate the damaged village roads / farm roads and water courses.

• Contractors should respect the privacy of people.

• Unskilled labour should be hired from the local area and employment to the local peoples should be provided.

• The contractor should not use the existing village roads for the transportation of equipment and machinery for the TL. It should develop new access roads for this purpose.

• Damaged lands should be rehabilitated after the construction work is completed.

• Contractor should not dump the construction materials in the private fields.

• Operation Stage Related Concerns/ Suggestions

• Cautionary and information signs should be erected on the towers for the awareness of the public.

93. The local communities’ and AFs views (awareness, perceptions and preferences) to

the transmission line subproject and resettlement related matters have been incorporated into

subproject design and will be implemented as an integral part of resettlement activities. The

major concerns raised during the consultation included the adequacy and timeliness of

compensation payments, as well as safety measures to be taken during the construction of

the towers and stringing of the transmission lines.

94. In response, the Project authorities assured that the land and crop compensation will

be assessed with the consultation of AFs and the elders of the area and the payments for

land and trees on the land to be acquired on permanent basis will be made to the AFs prior


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 29

to taking the possession of such land by the DABS. For temporary land used by the project,

all the crop losses will be paid as per the current market rates. The provisions have been

made in the entitlement matrix to this extent. They were further told that land taken for the

construction of access roads will be returned to the owners after bringing it to its original

condition at the time of acquisition. All the payments will be made to the AFs at least fifteen

days prior to temporary use of land before starting the civil works.

5.3 Compensation Options Discussed

95. In addition to the above consultations, the AFs were asked during the conduct of

census survey regarding their preferences for compensation and rehabilitation options. They

were asked whether they would prefer land or cash in lieu of affected land. All the respondents

unanimously expressed their choice for arrangement of cash compensation for their affected

lands. The project, however, does not involve any relocation.

96.

5.4 Disclosure

97. Key features of this LARP have already been disclosed to the DPs through the

community level meetings, and informal interaction between the DPs, consultants and PMO

personnel. The LARP disclosure will be carried out as per provisions of LARF as described

below.

• LARP in English will be posted on the ADB’s website after its endorsement by the EA.

• An information leaflet (provided as Annex-8 with LAR information including measurement of losses, detailed asset valuations, entitlements and special provisions, grievance procedures, timing of payments and displacement schedule will be made available in the local language (Dari) and distributed to DPs. PMO will distribute the booklet to the AFs/DPs in order to enable them to read it by themselves and be aware of the Project’s benefit/compensation as per LARP provisions.

• After its approval from the ADB, the LARP will be made available in the office of the Program Director and local level DABs office as an official public document. It will be translated into local language (Dari) and made available to DPs upon request. The final version of the LARP will be posted on the websites of MEW and ADB.

6 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

6.1 General

98. The ADB safeguards require that maximum care should be ensured in the design of

a project to prevent grievances. The importance of this aspect in a conflict ridden country like

Afghanistan increases manifolds. A great care has been exercised in the selection of final

route of TL, by ensuring full participation and consultation of land owners; by establishing

extensive communication and coordination between the community, the PMO and their

consultants; and the local governments. The TL has been routed through government lands,

to the extent possible. Notwithstanding, in spite of all these steps, some sections of the TL

are located through the privately owned lands and complaints are sometimes unavoidable. A

grievance mechanism needs to be in place to cope such situation and provide DPs a forum

to lodge their concerns/ complaints. The various complaints and grievances that are likely to

be generated among the DPs and that might require mitigation, include the following:


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 30

• DP not listed as affected,

• Losses not identified correctly,

• Compensation/ assistance considered inadequate or not as provided by the entitlement matrix,

• Dispute about ownership of the affected land/ asset,

• Internal dispute amongst owners, leaseholders, and /or sharecroppers,

• Delay in disbursement of compensation payments/ assistance,

• Improper distribution of compensation payments/ assistance in case of joint ownership of land and other properties,

• Rehabilitation work not properly done by contractor, etc.

99. DPs will be fully informed of their rights to voice and resolve concerns. Through public

consultations and distribution of the public information booklet, DPs will be informed that they

have a right to file complaints to GRC on any aspects of resettlement, or on any other related

grievance, and will be assisted by the supervision consultants to report their grievance. All

fees related to grievances will be covered by the EA.

100. It should be pointed out that GRC does not possess any legal mandate or authority to

resolve land issues, rather acts as an advisory body or facilitator to try to resolve issues

relating to resettlement benefits including value of compensation for affected land and other

assets. Any complaints of ownership or other suits, to be resolved by the country’s judiciary

system, will not be resolved in GRCs. Should the DPs want to pursue legal recourse,

DABS/PMO, with assistance from the CSC consultants, will ensure that support is given to

the DP to prepare a case. However, every effort should be exerted to avoid this alternative

because it would entail loss of time and expenses on the part of the DP.

6.2 Grievance Redress Committee

101. A GRC has been formed by the DABS at the project. At the request of DABS local

office, the District Governor of Andkhoy has nominated 10 members from the local community

for the GRC as provided in Annex-7. The other members of the GRC are the representative

of the local DABS office and National Resettlement Specialist of CSC. The committee is

chaired by the District Governor or his representative with judicial background. . The GRC is

mandated to work for any grievances involving resettlement benefits and issues, including

ensuring proper presentation of grievances, and impartial hearings and transparent decisions.

102. The formation of GRC has been widely publicized by the local DABS office in the

project area and among the local communities along the RoW of the 500 kV TL. People were

informed about the GRC by the project social staff during the conduct of census and

socioeconomic surveys, at the Jirgas held for the determination of land prices and through

announcements in the local mosques at Juma congregations.

103. CSC are will be

6.3 Proposed Steps to Address Grievance

104. Complaints and grievances will be addressed through the following steps and actions

(see Fig. 1). However, such steps shall not prevent any complainant to seek redress of his or

her complaint directly to the court. These are only offered as an alternative complaint

resolution.


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 31

105. First Step: Any aggrieved DP will first produce his/her complain/grievance in writing

to the Convener of the GRC. Upon receipt of complaint(s), the Convener will organize a GRC

hearing session in his/ her office within 21 days for resolution of the grievance(s), and

preserve all related records, proceedings, decision and recommendations. The verdicts will

be conveyed to the concerned DP through the respective DABS office in the district.

106. Second Step: If the district-level GRC is not able to resolve the grievance within a 21-

day period, the complaints will be presented via the local DABS representative to the General

Manager, DABS at Kabul. The elected representatives of the DPs at the provincial level will

have the opportunity to mediate by providing their written comments and proposals to the

manager. A final decision will be made by the GM, DABS after the assessment of the case

and a careful preparation of the decision by the PMO representative. Grievances will be sent

in a written form and must be heard and resolved within 14 days of submission of the

complaint.

107. Third Step: If no solution is reached within 14 days at DABS central level, the

aggrieved DP can further submit his case to the appropriate court of law. However, the DPs

can submit their case to the appropriate court of law in Afghanistan at any stage of the

process.

108. While applying the Grievance Redress Mechanism, the DPs can seek support from

the representative of the CSC who will also be assisted by the national and international

experts. The contact addresses/phone numbers will be disseminated via the project

information leaflet to be distributed amongst all possibly affected families.

109. If the cause of a grievance is the contradiction between traditional law and modern

legislation, the DP may also seek support from the local Jirga and/or from elders which may

hear the legal position of the DP.

110. The PMO will design a pro-forma letter to be used for filling complaints. A

representative of the CSC will help in filling the form and transmitting it to the appropriate

committee/authority and will assist the DP at every stage of the complaint process.

111. If grievances cannot be resolved at the local level, the DABS will nevertheless pay the

amount laid down by the PVCC to the DP. Additional compensation may be paid later upon

decision of the DABS general manager or the court appealed to in accordance with the final

entitlements of the DP. The GRM process is shown as Figure-2.

7 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR LARP IMPLEMENTATION

7.1 Institutional Arrangements

112. This section provides the institutional arrangements for the finalization and

implementation of this LARP as per provisions described in the approved LARP.

7.1.1 Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS)

113. Several agencies in Afghanistan are involved in matters related to land administration

and land rights. However, they are currently not in a position to fully exercise their mandates

due to capacity issues and weak institutional structures. To overcome this weakness, DABS

has been entrusted with the overall responsibility for the Program including preparation,

implementation and financing of all LAR tasks and cross-agency coordination. DABS will

execute its Program related activities through Project Management Office (PMO).

7.1.2 Project Management Office (PMO)

114. Within DABS, the Project Management Office (PMO) has been established to deal

with day to day responsibility for preparation, implementation and monitoring of LARP. The

PMO will be responsible internally to monitor LARP preparation and implementation (including

surveys, asset valuation, and community consultation), LAR-related cross-agency/inter-

departmental coordination, LARP approval, prepare internal monitoring reports, and other

LAR tasks, as assigned and ensure the availability of required budget for the implementation

of LARP. The PMO will be supported by the CSC to manage LAR activities.

7.1.3 The Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC)

115. The CSC will support the PMO in managing the LAR activities. However, the budget

approval coordination will be undertaken by the PMO as its primary responsibility. The CSC

will assist in LAR planning/implementation, internal monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and on-

job training to counterpart experts on field of expertise on impact assessment and ADB SPS

2009 resettlement policy requirements. LARP implementation will be monitored by the CSC

who as the external monitoring agency (EMA) will also provide for the required compliance

reports. The CSC will engage one international and one national social development/

resettlement specialist to work with the PMO on all resettlement and consultations tasks and

to liaise with the contractor to ensure smooth implementation of related social development/

resettlement requirements.

116. As per recommendations of the approved LARP for MFF 0026-AFG: ESDIP –

Proposed Tranche 4, the CSC will act as External Monitoring Agency (EMA) to inspect the

veracity of the final design in respect of transmission line sections with and without LAR

impacts. For sections without LAR impacts, the external monitor will report to the PMO (under

intimation to ADB) for the issuance of NOC for the start of works on these sections. For LARP

implementation, the external monitor will certify to the PMO (under intimation to ADB) to the

extent that all compensations have been fully implemented in the areas identified with LAR

impacts. At this report, the DABS will issue a no-objection certificate (NOC) for start of work

on the sections covered in the LARP. The turnkey contractor will not be permitted to

commence civil works in impact areas until the NOC has been issued and endorsed by the

PMO.

7.1.4 Provincial Valuation and Compensation Committee (PVCC)

117. The assessment of all damages and losses will be done and valuation of

compensation decided by the PVCC. The committee will consist of the following members (i.)

one representative of the Province Governor responsible for land affairs, (ii.) one

representative of the PMO (preferably a member of Due Diligence Team), (iii.) one

representative of the CSC, (iv.) one representative of the land users where lands are taken

permanently or temporarily, (v.) one representative of the District Jirga, preferably coming

from the most relevant district regarding land acquisition of the respective Province, and (vi.)

one representative of the contractor, responsible for the identification of losses, will also a

member of the sub-commission without right to vote.

7.1.5 The Turnkey Contractor

118. The Turnkey Contractor will be obliged to carry out the land acquisition assessment

prior to construction and in full accordance with the LARP. The contractor will identify, with

support of the CSC, the owner/land use right holders of the land for all temporary losses from

construction work and all permanent losses and he will notify the coordinates of the land, the

full name of the owner and the size of the land for all areas of the same owner required on a

permanent and/or temporary basis and send the document with signature of the land owner /

land use right holder to the Provincial Valuation and Compensation Committee (PVCC).

7.2 Other Agencies and Institutions

119. Several other agencies and institutions will have a role in the preparation and

implementation of the LARP. These are:


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 34

7.2.1 Community Shuras and Local Jirga

120. These local entities will assist in various ways the communication between DABS and

the affected communities. This includes facilitating public consultation, monitoring the

management of complaints and grievances, vouching as needed for the land occupation

status of the DPs and assisting in the definition of land compensation rates where no clear

land markets are established.

7.2.2 Provincial Governments

121. This entity will ensure government functions at the provincial level, and following the

land valuation survey or negotiation, will provide official endorsement of land compensation

rates.

7.2.3 Ministry of Finance (MoF)

122. The MoF will be responsible to release the finances needed for LARP implementation.

7.2.4 ADB

123. ADB will be responsible to provide approval of LARPs in accordance of the provisions

of the approved LARF.

7.3 Structure of the Institutional Arrangements

8 LARP BUDGET AND FINANCING

8.1 General

126. This Section provides an assessment of the costs based on the LAR impacts as

identified in the LARP that will be compensated as per entitlements of different categories of

DPs. The financing arrangements to compensate permanent and temporary impacts are also

discussed. Funds for the implementation of the LARP are part of the overall project budget.

DABS will ensure the provision of requisite funds prior to the LARP implementation. The

resettlement budget is based on the following items.

- the number and type of towers to be constructed for the TL,

- price of land affected under the foundations of towers, and

- market price rates of the crops affected by the TL construction activities, and

- administration charges, training costs and contingency charges

8.2 Budget Description

8.2.1 Compensation for Permanent Land Losses

127. There are 39 AFs whose land is falling under 53 towers that will be acquired on

permanent basis. The unit price of affected land has been determined by the district Land

Price Assessment Committee as 1150 Afghani/m2. The amount of affected land has been

worked out using this rate which calculates to be 25,675,353 Afghani.

8.2.2 Compensation for Permanent Crop Losses

128. The land to be acquired under tower bases is cultivated, hence there will be permanent

crop loss equal to the area of land under tower bases. The total compensation as per

entitlements works out to be 639,767 Afghani.

8.2.3 Land Rent and Crop Compensation for Temporary Occupied Land

129. Land on temporary basis will be needed to carry out the 3-tier process of transmission

line construction, i.e., (i) construction of foundations, (ii) erection of towers, and (iii) stringing

of power cables. For this land the only impact will be on the crops for the period of the use of

these lands. No fruit or non-fruit trees will be impacted. The owners will be paid rent for the

duration of use of land for access roads for approaching towers and in the RoW; equal to

potential crop loss for the period of temporary occupation of land. The same amount of

compensation will be paid for crop losses. The land occupation and compensation details are

as under.

9 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE AND PREPARATORY ACTIONS

9.1 LARP Implementation

136. DABS will begin the implementation process of the LARP immediately after its

approval by the ADB. Grievances or objections (if any) will be redressed as per grievance

redress procedure adopted in this LARP. The steps for the delivery of compensation for all

eligible AHs/DPs will be the following :

• Preparation of invoices: Invoices for each of the eligible DPs will be prepared by

DDT-PMO according to the compensation provided in this LARP. This document

entitles each of the AHs/DPs to receive the amount indicated in the invoice.

• Delivery of the money to local bank: The money from DABS will be remitted to a

bank in Andkhoy city. A bank account will be opened by the DABS/PMO solely for the

Aquina-Shabergan 500 kV S/C Transmission Line compensation payments.

• Payment: Each DP will receive a cheque for his compensation amount from the PMO

as per procedure laid down in the law. He shall prove his identity and sign a document

acknowledging the receipt of the whole compensation and a waiver attesting that

he/she has no longer any type of pending claim. A photograph shall be taken with the

DP receiving the compensation as record of proof and as part of project

documentation.

• Identity of Person: At the time of receiving the compensation cheques, each of the

DPs will present his Tazkira (National Identity Card). Persons without Tazkira will have

to prove their legal entity to receive the compensation.

9.2 Implementation Schedule

137. The contract of the sub-project is design-build type which was awarded on 31-04-

2015. The transmission line has two types of sections; i.e., sections without LAR issues and

sections with LAR issues. The works on sections of the transmission line without LAR issues

started on the date of effectiveness of contract that was 19-01-2016. However, civil works

are not initiated in areas with LAR impacts and its initiation is conditional to the finalization

and satisfactory implementation of the LARP. The LARP preparation and implementation

schedule of the LARP is provided in Table 9.1.

10 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

138. There are no AHs who have impact in terms of losing more than 10% of their land or

livelihood. Construction has not been initiated in areas impacted by LAR. To ensure further

compliance with ADB policy, both internal and external monitoring of the LARP

implementation is required.

10.1 Internal Monitoring

139. Internal monitoring of all resettlement and consultation tasks and reporting to ADB will

be conducted by the Environmental and Social Unit (ESU) within the PMO, assisted by the

national and international social safeguards/resettlement specialists. Internal monitoring will

include reporting on progress in the activities envisaged in the implementation schedule with

particular focus on public consultations, land purchase, record of grievances and status of

complaints, financial disbursements, and level of satisfaction among DPs. Potential indicators

for internal monitoring are briefed in the following Table 10.1.

Table 10.1: Internal Monitoring

Monitoring Issues Monitoring Indicators Budget and Timeframe

Have all safeguard staff under ESU been appointed and mobilized for field and office work?

Have capacity building and training activities been completed?

Are resettlement implementation activities being achieved against agreed implementation plan?

Are funds for resettlement being allocated on time?

Have PMO received the requisite funds for LARP implementation?

Have funds been disbursed according to LARP? Payment of Compensation to the DP

Have all DPs received entitlements according to categories of loss as defined in the entitlement matrix?

If not, then what are the reasons?


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 40

Monitoring Issues Monitoring Indicators Payment of Compensation for Temporary Losses

Has the contractor made an assessment of crop and other losses? Has the contractor made payments to the affected persons of their

losses? Are the affected persons satisfied with the payments made by the

contractor on account of temporary losses? Has the contractor signed agreements with the owners whose land

has been (or to be) taken for access roads? Consultation and Disclosure

Have consultations taken place as a continuous activity during construction of T/L?

Have brochures/leaflets containing resettlement information been prepared and distributed to the DPs?

Grievances Redress Has the GRC as described in the LARP been notified? Have any DPs gone for the grievance redress procedures and

what were the outcomes?

10.2 External Monitoring

140. As recommended in the approved LARP for MFF 0026-AFG: ESDIP – Proposed

Tranche 4, the CSC will act as External Monitoring Agency (EMA). External monitoring will

be carried out twice a year and its results will be communicated to the PMU and ADB through

semi-annual reports. The EMA will also be responsible for (i) issuing a no-objection

certification to proceed with work in sections of lots of the subproject where there is no land

acquisition and (ii) for sections or lots where there is land acquisition and resettlement, no-

objection to proceed after completing an audit confirming that all compensation and related

resettlement assistance in cash or kind has been delivered to the affected households. A copy

of the no-objection certificate (NOC) will be submitted to the PMU and ADB simultaneously.

The CSC working as EMA will also assess the status of project affected vulnerable groups

such as female-headed households, disabled/elderly and poor families. The reports prepared

by the EMA will include an assessment of the compensation process for temporary loss of

land and associated crop and tree loss. The EMA shall undertake the following tasks to

independently externally monitor the implementation of the LARP:

• Validation the findings of the census and detailed measurement surveys.

• Evaluation of the quality and timeliness of delivering entitlements.

• Evaluation of Consultation and Grievance Procedures and assess whether grievance procedures are adequately implemented, as required, and act as observers on the grievance procedure.

• External monitoring of LARP implementation and follow-up actions by making recommendations for the issuance of no-objection to commence civil works in areas with no pending LAR issues or follow-up actions to address non-compliance issues or complaints.

10.3 Reporting:

141. The EMA will be required to submit the following:

(i) Semi-annual Monitoring Reports – to be formally submitted by the EMA directly after compensation has been distributed in each of the affected areas. The EMA will prepare semi-annual monitoring reports to describe the progress of LARP


__________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 41

implementation in sections where LARP implementation has not been completed. The semi-annual Monitoring Reports should particularly focus on:

• description of M&E activities; • report on implementation of all aspects of the LARP; • deviations, if any, from the provisions and principles of the resettlement

policy specified in the LARP; • identification of problems, issues and recommended solutions; and

description of findings in relation to whether the project activities have been completed as planned and budgeted, and recommendations, timetable and budget for addressing outstanding problems;

(ii) Resettlement monitoring reports will be sent to ADB along with regular progress reports. The monitoring reports will be posted on ADB website, and relevant information from these reports will be disclosed in the project areas in local languages.

Resettlement and Compensation

Aquina-Shabergan 500kV Single Circuit Transmission Line

August 2017

1. Introduction

1. In order to meet the Afghanistan‘s increased energy needs in a timely and cost-

effective manner while diversifying import sources and increasing its capacity for future

energy transit services, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is financing energy projects in

Afghanistan through Energy Sector Development Investment Program (ESDIP). The

construction of 91 km long Aquina - Shabergan 500 kV Single Circuit Transmission Line is a

sub-project of Tranche-4 under this Program. The Project is part of the North East Power

System (NEPS) that connects northern and eastern Afghanistan, and also facilitates power

import from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. This Land Acquisition and Resettlement

Plan (LARP) for the subproject has been prepared by DABS through its Construction

Supervision Consultants (CSC) according to the provisions of the framework provided in the

ADB approved LARP. The sub-project will improve the power transmission and distribution

situation in the provinces of Jowzjan, Faryab and Balakh provinces of Afghanistan. The

subproject is being executed by the Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS - Afghanistan

Electricity Corporation), through its Program Management Office (PMO), supported by

Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC).

2. Description of the 500 kV Transmission Line Subproject

2. The Aquina-Shabergan 500 kV Transmission Line will be 91 km long involving two

sections. Section-1 is from Turkmenistan (TKM) border to Andkhoy SS. It is 29 km long and

Section-2 is from Andkhoy SS to Sheberghan SS with a length of 62 km. The existing

substations at Andkhoy and Sheberghan will be extended to accommodate power imports

through this transmission line.

3. Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan

3. This Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for sub project has been

prepared to address the social and resettlement issues in accordance with the ADB’s

safeguard policies, and Resettlement frame work prepared for the Energy Sector

Development Improvement Program (ESDIP). The specific objectives of the LARP are as

under:

• Provide an assessment of the subproject Impacts on the local population;


_________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 67

• Quantify the impacts on private land and crops to be affected with the construction of

transmission line;

• Provide a strategy to ensure timely acquisition of land, payment of compensation and

other benefits to the DPs to ensure timely completion of project works;

• Give and over-all estimate of the required funds needed to implement the resettlement

plan.

4. Eligibility for Entitlements of Compensation

4. Affected Families (AFs) in the transmission route (RoW) entitled to compensation are

those with (i) title, (ii) official deed, (iii) unofficial written deed, or (iv) AFs that in absence of

these documents are declared as legitimate traditional land holders of the land they use by

the Shura, Jirga or Elders of the local village, (v) vulnerable households including women

headed households. All AFs will be compensated for land and crops as subproject will not

impact any structures, trees and sources of livelihood.

5. Cut-Off Date

5. For the assessment of LAR impacts of the subproject, Census of DPs and Detailed

Measurement Survey for the revised LARP were undertaken. These surveys were completed

on 31 July 2017 and the same has been established as cut-off date for determining eligibility

for compensation with the consensus of the client. Compensation eligibility is limited by this

cut-off date. Any person moving in the TL RoW after the cut-off date will not be entitled to any

kind of compensation or assistance as per provision made herein.

6. Impacts of the Project

6. According to final design, the transmission line will involve the construction of 244

towers of various specifications. Out of these, 191 towers will be constructed on government

lands. The remaining 53 towers will be constructed on the privately owned lands requiring

acquisition of land on permanent basis. All these towers fall in the Faryab province. The total

53 towers with LAR impacts will require 22326m2 of land on permanent basis. There are 44

towers of type A which will require 16423m², 05 towers of type B will require 3115m², and 04

towers of type C will require 2788m² of land. The quantum of land to be acquired on

permanent basis works out to be 11.16 Jerib6. This land is owned by 39 AFs. Table -1 provides

summary the land to be acquired on permanent basis.

Total 53 22326 11.163 2.232

7. Besides permanent land acquisition, land on temporary basis will also be required

during the 3-tier process of tower construction: (i) construction of foundations, (ii) erection of

towers, and (iii) stringing of conductor. The temporary resettlement impacts of the proposed

transmission line are provided in Table -2.

7. Compensation for Losses:

8. Compensation for Permanent Land Losses: There are 40 AFs whose land is falling

under 53 towers that will be acquired on permanent basis. Until the final decision of DABS on

the demands of the AFs relating to land price, the resettlement budget estimates are based

on the per tower land price of US$ 5000.00, as demanded by the AFs. The amount of land

works out to be 18,059,750 Afghani.

9. Compensation for Permanent Crop Losses: The land to be acquired under tower

bases is cultivated, hence there will be permanent crop loss equal to the area of land under

tower bases. The total compensation as per entitlements works out to be 729,868 Afghani.

10. Land Rent and Crop Compensation for Temporary Occupied Land: Land on

temporary basis will be needed to carry out the 3-tier process of transmission line

construction, i.e., (i) construction of foundations, (ii) erection of towers, and (iii) stringing of

power cables. For this land the only impact will be on the crops for the period of the use of

these lands. No fruit or non-fruit trees will be impacted. The owners will be paid rent for the

duration of use of land for access roads for approaching towers and in the RoW; equal to

potential crop loss for the period of temporary occupation of land. The same amount of

compensation will be paid for crop losses. The land occupation and compensation details are

as under.

Determination of Land Price

13. For the determination of replacement cost of affected land, the Director DABS

Andkhoy requested the provincial governor for the formation of a committee for negotiations

with the affected land owners of TL. The Governor of Faryab District formed the Land Price

Assessment Committee (LPAC) consisting of representatives from different departments. The

Committee consulted with the elders of the area, land department officials, local property

dealers, besides holding meetings with the affected land owners through local Jirga. After

three rounds of discussions with the affected land owners in the Jirga meetings, the land price

assessment committee was successful in determining a mutually agreed price of Afghani

1150/m2 of affected land.

9. Grievance Redress Mechanism

14. A grievance redress mechanism is available to allow a DP appealing any disagree-

able decision, practice or activity arising from land or other asset compensation. The main

objective of the grievance redress procedure is to provide a mechanism to mediate conflict

and cut down lengthy litigation which may delay this development sub-project. A Grievance

Redress Committee (GRC) has been established for the subproject in order to receive and

facilitate the resolution of affected peoples’ concerns, complaints, and grievances about the

project’s LAR performance. The GRC is composed of the following members:

• Representative of the District Governor In-Chair (With judicial experience)

• Representative of DABS Office from concerned district Member

• Representative from CSC (Local Resettlement Specialist) Member

• Affected person or his/her duly appointed Representative Member

• One person from non-DPs from TL corridor village Member

15. The committee will be chaired by the representative of the concerned District

Governor. Grievances will be sent in written form to the committee and will be heard and

resolved within 21 days of submission of the complaint.

10. LARP Budget and Financing

16. All funds required for compensating the affected families including allowances will be

allocated by the government. The PMO will coordinate allocation of funds, approval of

payments, and delivery of funds, monitoring of progress and reporting. The total LARP budget

has been estimated to be 39,521,577 Afg.

11. Timing of Payment


_________________________________________________________________________

August 2017 Page 71

17. According to project implementation schedule, the payment of compensation will be completed within 06 weeks, from 1st week of February 2018 to 2nd week of March 2018.

12. Contact Persons

18. The following persons have been nominated by the local Jirga. They belong to the

villages along the RoW of the transmission line. They are also nominated members by the

district Governor in the GRC. They will coordinate with the project authorities and will be

available at any time to the AFs/ DPs for attending and lodging their grievance relating to the

LARP implementation.
