1. Introduction

1. Monitoring and Evaluation: Resettlement Monitoring and Evaluation is an integral part of the resettlement process which entails monitoring of preparation and implementation of Land acquisition & Resettlement Plans (LARP), as laid down in the ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS), and ADB’s Guidelines on Monitoring & Evaluation of Resettlement, 2003. The objective of monitoring is to review and assess the implementation of LARP and validate the i) implementation of LARP, ii) payments to DPs, livelihood restoration and any change in their living standards, achievement of resettlement objectives, iii) effectiveness and adequacy of compensation entitlements of the project, iv) the remedial measures to address any issues related to payments and implementation of LARP, and v) institutional arrangements and capacity of PIU. Thus, the monitoring enables the project management to make timely decisions on curative measures needed to implement resettlement effectively, and learn strategic lessons for future policy formulation and planning.

2. External Monitoring Report: This external monitoring report covers an implementation period from January to June 2017 and has been prepared for package I & II of Hassanabdal – Havelian Expressway Project (E-35) which is financed by ADB through Loan 3121 of Tranche 2 of The National Trade Corridor Highways Investment Program (NTCHIP). The report presents review and validation of QIMR which reflect the overall progress up to June 30, 2017.

1.1 Project Background

3. The National Highway Authority (NHA) is currently implementing the package I & II of E-35 project under tranche 2 of the NTCHIP program with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB). E-35 is a greenfield project that involved major Land Acquisition and Resettlement (LAR) impacts. Two LARPs of Involuntary Resettlement (IR) category A were prepared by NHA and approved by ADB in November and December 2014 respectively for package 1 and II, which are presently under implementation.

4. The ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) requires monitoring of a LARP of category A internally by executing agency and externally by external monitoring agency or an individual expert. The LARP of tranche 2, package I & II of Hassanabdal - Havelian project is being monitored internally by PIU with assistance of Social Safeguard Management Consultant (SSMC) on quarterly basis. As required by SPS, the LARP is being monitored by external monitoring agency/consultant (EMA) on semi-annual basis, hired by NHA to undertake external monitoring of LARP. This is third EMR by EMA which provides the status of LARP implementation, payments to DPs, and construction works and makes recommendations to address issues of concerns related to delivery of compensation of DPs and factors impeding compensation delivery.

1.2 Project Description

5. The Government of Pakistan (GoP) is concentrating on the development of road infrastructure and its major emphasis is on the construction of new motorways/ expressways and improvement of the efficiency of existing roads from single to dual carriageways. The construction of Hassanabdal to Havelian Expressway (E-35) is an effort towards this motive. The project area is reflected in the Fig-I.

Page 9: PAK: National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program ...€¦ · Pictorial Presentation ..... 46. ii List of Figures Figure 1.1: Location Map of E-35 Project 2 Figure 2.1: Payment

Fig-1.1: Location Map of E-35 Project

6. The package-I of E-35 has a total length of 20.3 km starting from Burhan Interchange (village Kholian) in District Attock (Punjab) and ending at village Dingi (chainage 20+300 km) in tehsil and district Harripur of Khyber Pakhtunkhaw (KPK). Similarly, Package – II of E-35 has a total length of 19.2 km starting from Jari Kas at village Dingi (chainage 20+300 km) and ends at Maqsooda interchange near Sarai Saleh at the chainage 39+500 km after crossing Hattar Road and Haripur – Khanpur Road 1.

7. Salient Features of Project: Package – I and package - II are the green field project that has significant land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) impacts. The road design of package-I & II includes construction of new 7.3 meter dual carriageway with New Jersey barrier as median; In addition, the PKG-I has 2 interchanges, 3 flyovers and 16 underpasses which will be constructed during implementation. Similarly, the PKG-II also has 2 interchanges, 4 flyovers and 8 underpasses.

8. The Expressway, after construction, will be fenced from both sides and fifteen feet wide service road will also be provided on both sides of expressway for use by local people. Total width of Right of Way (ROW) is 80 meters, which has been fully acquired using the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1894.

9. According to the approved LARP, the Land Acquisition and Resettlement (LAR) impacts of the project (package I & II) were assessed as significant and a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared in accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement of 2009 (SPS), Pakistan’s Land Acquisition Act of 1894 (LAA) and the updated Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework. In addition to the LARP, NHA also undertook a detailed land valuation study by the independent valuation experts to determine and ensure compensation of land at full replacement costs as required in ADB’s SPS 2009.

10. During the field monitoring and consultation with the DPs (Annex-A) work conducted by EMA in September, 2017 it was found that NHA followed a section-by-section

2 Project Impacts and Status of Implementation

11. NHA is implementing the LARP of package I & II with the assistance of SSMC based at Project Implementation Unit (PIU at Burhan) and Project Management Unit (at NHA headquarters in Islamabad). This external monitoring report provides the review and analysis and validation of the status of LARP implementation and payments to DPs as of 30 June 2017, which is summarized in Table 2.1 below.

12. The total land required for the project is 482.37 acres for the PKG-I and 412.13 acres for PKG-II for interchanges and carriageway. Among the total land of PKG-II, 3.13 acres are the government land owned by provincial departments of education, WAPDA, Sui Northern Gas, Railway and PTCL before transferring it to NHA for the project. However, all the land in PKG I was privately owned. All land awards were made in 2011-12. Among the total land, all the land is acquired for carriage way and interchanges. The implementation of LARPs started in December 2014 after ADB approved the LARPs.

2.1 Implementation Analysis

13. The table indicates that by 30st June 2017, overall disbursement of compensation (land and non-land assets) is 97% (Rs 582 million from the total Rs. 597 million), in Package-1. The remaining amounts of Rs.15 million will be disbursed among the 1911 DPs. NHA/PIU intend to complete the compensation disbursement until December, 2017. Similarly, the compensation payment and livelihood assistance in Package-II has been disbursed to 98.7% (Rs.933 million out of 945 million) to 78% DPs (5160 from the total 6584). The remaining amount of Rs. 12 million (1.3%) will be paid to 1,424 DPs (22%) is under process. NHA/PIU assured to complete it until December 2017. EMA expects a delay in disbursement of payments due to the amount of payments being meager besides there are other factors such as transfer of land rights, absentee DPs and minors, etc which will cause delay in payments until these issues are resolved.

14. These payments are likely to delay because the DPs are reluctant to open bank accounts through which they can be compensated. Unfortunately the cost of opening bank accounts is higher than small amounts of compensation and the DPs appear not interested in opening up their bank accounts. The DPs are of the view that they should be provided cash compensation in their villages without requiring them to open the bank accounts (see report about DPs views about meager amounts at Annex B).

15. The comparison of compensation disbursement and paid DPs is reflected in Fig: 2.2 for both the PKG-I & PKG-II respectively while fig 2.3 and fig 2.4 indicate the DPs wise payment of impact category for PKG-I & PKG-II respectively Annex- D & E).

16. The section below provides analysis into the disbursement of compensation by category of impact, reasons responsible for delay and actions required to complete the payments.

2.2 Land Compensation and Factors Responsible for Delay

17. Package I: The total land required for Package-I was 482.37 acres which has been fully acquired. Payment of land compensation has been achieved by 97.7% (Rs 465.14 million out of total 476.05 million) and about 81% DPs (3063 DPs of total 3797 DPs) have been paid so far. The payment to remaining 19% DPs will be made after completing all procedural requirements of LAA.

18. Package II: In package II land payments of 99.9% (Rs.769.59 million out of 778.31 million) have been made to about 81% DPs (3994 out of 4962). The remaining amount of Rs. 8.72 million (1.1%) to remaining 19% DPs (968 DPs) will be made after completing the LAA procedural requirements of payments. NHA/PIU plans to complete the remaining payments by the end of December, 2017 but will need to expedite the process with help of NHA’s field staff. The major reasons responsible for delay in payments in both packages are the following;

2.3 Meager Amount of Land Payment:

• There are 1303 DPs (both packages) who have meager amount of compensation. The payment is slow due to the requirement of opening up of bank account by DPs. This is a procedural requirement under the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 in which compensation vouchers are issued to DPs for depositing into their bank account from where the DPs can obtain cash compensation.

• The EMA found (through field visits, meeting with PIU and DPs and review of IMR and on-going survey records (completed in all 16 villages of both packages) that the DPs prefer obtaining direct cash compensation given to them in their villages by NHA because the cost of opening a bank account is higher than the amount of compensation itself.

• EMA also found that PIU did the good faith efforts and taken up the issues (through LAC) with BOR of KPK and in response to this BOR allowed LAC to make the payment of meager amount up to Rs.10, 000/- through open cheque. Consequently, there is no need to establish any escrow account for the payment of meager amount in KPK while there is still need to develop the same mechanism in Punjab portion of package-I.

• EMA assessed that the payment of meager amount is slow on the joining of new LAC, hence NHA should speed up the meager amount payment, though NHA assured to complete it until December, 2017.

2.4 Other Reasons of Delay in Payments

19. The EMA found few other reasons, as reported in internal monitoring reports and further reviewed in the field, delaying the compensation that are as below:

• Lack of land transfer record to actual DPs

• Absent DPs, i.e., not traceable

• Lack of ownership titled to DPs

Page 16: PAK: National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program ...€¦ · Pictorial Presentation ..... 46. ii List of Figures Figure 1.1: Location Map of E-35 Project 2 Figure 2.1: Payment

14

• DPs have gone under litigation

• Underage DPs (Juvenile)

20. The Table 2.2 below indicates the number of DPs whose payments are delayed to various afore-mentioned reasons.

II 968 737 42 21 103 3 15 75

21. The EMA reviewed these cases and found that NHA made the following legal and good faith efforts in its attempts to make payments to DPs:

a) Contacted DPs of meager amount and informed them about efforts being made to compensate them in cash. A thorough survey by PIU (through SSMC) in August and September, 2016 about views of DPs has been conducted in this regard.

b) NHA is committed to make payments to DPs contesting in the court for higher payments fully in accordance with court decisions as soon as made.

c) NHA is working closely with revenue department to get the land transfer record corrected/updated following which the DPs will be compensated and verified by EMA.

d) NHA and SSMC are making efforts by facilitating DPs in obtaining their CNIC. They will be compensated after they are provided with CNIC.

e) NHA has issued public notices in local newspapers to untraceable DPs and fixed public notices in villages and advertised contact details of officials who the DPs can contact for payments.

f) NHA deposited all compensation amounts in the district treasury for disbursement to DPs as their cases are processed.

22. NHA did good faith efforts to complete 100% payment to DPs as reflected in the latest IMR and evidence attached as Annex B&C. EMA recommends NHA to follow the guidance notes and formats prepared by ADB in consultation with NHA to document the systematic and transparent process that have been used by NHA in contacting the DPs for NHA’s efforts to make 100% payments.

23. Transfer of Government Land: In package II about 3.13 acres of total land acquired (412.13 acres), is owned by different government departments, e.g. Education department and federal department like WAPDA, Sui Northern Gas, Railway and PTCL. The process of transfer of government land to NHA is under process and is expected to be transferred in December 2017. The EMA recommends that NHA/PIU should make intensive follow up with the concerned departments and the process must be monitored and reported in the IMR.

2.5 Payment of Non-land Assets

24. The status of payment of non-land assets as reviewed and verified by EMA is summarized below:

2.6 Payment for the Structures

25. A total of structures including residential, commercial, cattle yards, community/public structures and miscellaneous structures including water resources owned by 102 DPs who were entitled to receive Rs. 85.679 million as compensation for Package-I. All the payment has been disbursed to all 102 (100%) DPs. As far as the Package-II is concerned, that total amount of compensation for loss of residential/ commercial structures was Rs. 129.98 million payable to 106 DPs. The entire amount has been disbursed among 106 DPs (100%) and nothing is pending in both the PKGs regarding the payment of structures.

2.7 Payment for the Crops

The remaining 48% (1033 DPs) are still waiting for the payment. The compensation payment is delayed due to small amounts of payments to individual DPs (termed as meager and other legal and administrative impediments as reflected in the internal monitoring reports) as discussed earlier. For Package-II, a total number of 1,059 DPs had to be paid an amount of Rs. 7.42 million. Currently (till June 30, 2017) 658 DPs (62%) have been paid an amount of Rs. 4.843 million (65.0 %). The remaining 401 DPs (38 %) are yet to be paid

27. However NHA has a plan to complete the crop compensation to DPs up to the end of December 2017, which requires close monitoring and reporting in the IMR (validated by EMA).

2.8 Payment for the Trees

28. An amount of Rs.8.54 million was to be paid to 511 DPs for Package-I. The EMA found that as per internal monitoring report and field verification, Rs. 6.55 million (75%) have been disbursed among 367 DPs (71.8%). The remaining 144 DPs (28.2%) are still waiting for the payment.

29. In case of payment at Package-II, a total of 197 DPs had to be paid an amount of Rs. 9.31 million for the loss of trees.

3 Institutional Arrangements for Land and Resettlement Activities

31. The NHA has kept all the institutional arrangements as mentioned in the LARP on board for addressing the land acquisition and resettlement requirements. The detail is discussed as under;

3.1 Environment Afforestation Land and Social (EALS)

32. NHA established an Environment Afforestation Land and Social (EALS) wing at Headquarter. The EALS is headed by the General Manager (GM), assisted by the land, environment and social staff. The EALS is responsible for preparing, implementing, monitoring, disclosing, and submitting reports to ADB.

3.2 Project Implementation Unit (PIU)

33. NHA has established a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) under the General Manager E-35 in Burhan. The PIU presently comprises of a GM, Project Director, Assistant Director (Engineering), Deputy Director (Land) and Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) with support of land staff. PIU is responsible to prepare and implement the safeguard documents (through SSMC) and submit to ADB though (EALS).

3.3 Grievances Redress Mechanism

34. A grievance redress mechanism has been established in the project since March September 21, 2015 (Annex-F).

36. EMA found (during the field visits) that most of the DPs’ shared concerns on the land prices which to them were assessed as below the market rate by Provincial Revenue Department. The EMA informed such DPs that the prices were assessed/ fixed based on average market rate of registered land transactions (carried out during the year preceding the date of notification of the section 4 of LAA. Later on an independent land valuation study conducted by independent valuation experts also determined the market rate of land in light of international valuation standards. The study concluded that land prices awarded by BOR either met the full replacement costs of were very close to this standard. Nevertheless, DPs wished for better price although they did not have supporting evidence to claim higher compensation rates.

37. Some DPs verbal complained during field visits about access route, under-pass, delay in compensation of meager payments and the payment for the additional areas. People also complained that no one is visiting them to whom they can register their complaints. SSMC were asked and they endorsed that owing to the unavailability of transport they are not frequently visiting the project area, the last visit they paid to the project area in May 2017. That’s why only two complaints were registered during the reporting period. EMA recommends that transport must be provided to SSMC on immediate basis so that the field activities could not suffer. The availability of the vehicle must be monitored and reported in the IMR.

38. EMA thoroughly reviewed the complained register and found that the entry was not made properly, i.e., only the complained was registered but what action taken and current status in most of the cases were blank. EMA could not find the minutes of the meeting of the grievance committee, hardly the SSMC presented few minutes of meeting, and even from last couple of months none of the GRC meeting was held irrespective of the facts that DPs are having lot of complaints.

39. SSMC meets with DPs and records their concerns and take them to the officials of grievance redress committee for redressal. But their payments continue to be impeded. The EMA recommends that PIU and the contractors must try to ensure availability of alternate access to DPs and locals and meaningful efforts made to make payment of meager payments to DPs. Actions and progress of meager payments must be reported in IMRs and further monitored/validated by EMA.

40. EMA recommends that PIU and the contractors to take up the complaints (those are related to civil work). The process must be monitored and reported in the IMR.

3.4 Formation of Displaced Persons Committees (DPCs)

41. EMA found through IMR, discussion with the PIU, SSMC and DPs during the field visits that DPC exists in each village. These committees are taken on-board by the project staff in addressing the grievances of the DPs at village level and also coordinating with the PIU in dispute resolution and for the smooth running of project activities. EMA also found that the women committees are existed at village level but women DPC is not stated in the IMR.

42. EMA found that that few DPs do not know about the DPC, hence, EMA recommends that well-structured awareness campaign must be launched to create the awareness among the men and women to make the DPC more responsive and effective.

3.5 Social Safeguards Management Consultant (SSMC)

43. In order to effectively implement the LARP and address the social safeguard issues, NHA employed SSMC. SSMC is staffed by Resettlement Specialist, Gender Specialist,

Page 22: PAK: National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program ...€¦ · Pictorial Presentation ..... 46. ii List of Figures Figure 1.1: Location Map of E-35 Project 2 Figure 2.1: Payment

20

MIS/ M&E and Social Mobilizers and is assisting NHA/ PIU in the LARP implementation and monitoring and capacity building in LAR. The understanding of SSMC staff about safeguard requirements of loan and procedural matters of LAA pertaining to disbursement of payment to DPs needs improvement.

44. The field movement, interaction with DPs and writing of daily visit report, coordination and reporting mechanism also need improvement. The EMA recommends a refresher workshop for PIU on payment related procedures and issues of LAA, SPS 2009 and LARP provisions/implementation requirements of the project. PIU should also document best practice case studies on resettlement and rehabilitation, compensation delivery, women emancipation cases, consultations and grievance management, employment creation and productive utilization of compensation money, etc.

45. EMA also found that management information system is now well in place but not all the DPs have been entered in the MIS system. There are about 1,000 DPs whose data still needs to be computerized. However with updating of MIS data continuing on regular basis, it is expected that PIU will be able to complete the MIS of all DPs until the end of October, 2017. The information about land acquisition for carriageway and interchanges needs to be clearly reflected in the MIS. Hence, EMA recommends that MIS specialist should be provided more resources (support of data entry person) to complete the MIS.

46. EMA also found that the contract of SSMC is expired from September 30, 2017 but the payment to DPs is still pending. Hence, EMA recommends that social mobilization expert must be recruited to facilitate the DPs to have access on GRC, assist the NHA/PIU in resolving the DP’s issues including the compensation payment.

3.6 Delay in Salary for SSMC’s staff

47. EMA also found that the staffs are not receiving their salaries timely, i.e., their salaries are delayed by 7 months. It has been found that the staff is very frustrated owing to non-payment, they are unable to meet their daily expenses as nobody from the market borrow them the food stuff. The non-payment of salaries has adverse impact on the performance of SSMC’s staffs. EMA recommends analyzing the contract made between NHA and SSMC to find out payment arrangement, mode and timing of payment as to why payments are so delayed. In addition, NHA/PIU will ensure that all the SSMC staffs receive salaries on the dates as specified in the contract and this should be monitored internally by PIU and validated by EMA.

48. EMA found (through SSMC) that invoices are not submitted timely by SSMC to NHA, the traditional lethargy is at the end of SSMC in the submission of claim, ultimately the staff is suffering.

4 Consultation and Information Disclosure

49. PIU is conducting consultations with DPs since the LARP planning and implementation. EMA assessed through the focus group discussion held with 101 DPs that status of awareness among the DPs regarding the compensation payment and livelihood assistances was found 100%. The DPs are generally happy with compensation payments and they made the good use of compensation payment like, i) purchased alternate land, ii) constructed a new houses, iii) started business, iv) part of the amount spent on children education, v) performed Hajj, and vi) arranged the marriages of their children.

50. However, as reported in the IMR the consultation meetings are organized only 4 villages in Packages I where 81 DPs participated while in Package II only one meeting was and 4 DPs were consulted during the reporting periods.

51. EMA found that the meetings are not held in each village during the reporting period, even none of the meeting is held in Packages II during the month of April and July, 2017. On asking the reason for low frequency of the meeting, SSMC told that they do not have the transport, as already provided vehicle to them has taken back from PIU/NHA. EMA also found that consultation section is not reflected in the main text of the IMR; simply the participants list is annexed in the report. EMA recommends that these meetings need to be happened as meaningful, as most of the DPs are still not clear regarding the schedule of payment. Hence, PIU to inform the DPs about expected schedule of payment of meager amount. EMA also recommends that PIU should organize the meetings in routine and DPs concerns should be properly documented in the IMR, as this part is lacking in the IMR of both the packages.

52. In terms of gender perspective, the LARP also identified the women DPs in term of loss of their assets. Like, male DPs the women are also receiving their payment.

4.1 Employment Opportunities

53. The LARP provisioned for employment of local laborers and members of AFs. PIU has been follow up with contractors in providing job opportunities to locals. The EMA reviewed the record of PIU and visited the project sites and found that project contractor has employed a total 224 people of which 50% (112 of the total 224) work force has been employed from project area. Hiring of unskilled laborers from local project area is monitored by PIU every month.

4.2 Stakeholders Consultations and assessment of DPs Feedback

54. A proper questionnaire was established to assess the views of the DPs regarding the compensation payment, uses of the compensation amount and detail is reflected in the Table 4.1. A total of 101 DPs were contacted during the field visits. Among the total contacted DPs, 73 have been received their complete compensation payment and livelihood assistance (in the form of allowances) while 28 DPs were unpaid and their payment was delayed due to acquisition of additional land and legal and administrative impediments. The DPs responses in term of use of compensation payment, concern about the assessment procedure, and awareness about the GRM and DPCs.

The complainants have been informed that the prices were assessed/ fixed on the basis of average of the transactions carried out during the last one year and including an independent land valuation study that they were allowed an opportunity by the Land Collector to record the grievances prior to announcement of award.

57. All 21 contacted DPs wants to be compensated in cash for the meager amount payment but not through district treasury vouchers. NHA in consultation with district revenue authority/Deputy Commissioner is in the process of setting up the issue of meager amount to make the cash payments to DPs.

58. As per field investigation, 85% DPs have the knowledge about the GRC while only 15% are unaware about the grievance redress system. Similarly, 76% of the DPs have the knowledge about the existence of DPCs in their respective villages.

5 Conclusions

60. Based on the review and field verification, the EMA concludes that land for carriageway and interchanges have been fully acquired.

61. Likewise compensation disbursement of carriageway and 2 interchanges has been completed by 97% (Rs 582 million from the total Rs. 597 million) to 69% DPs for Package-I. Similarly, the compensation payment for Package-II has been disbursed to 98.7% (Rs.933 million out of 945 million) and the payment has been delivered to 78% of the DPs.

62. NHA has generally demonstrated good faith efforts in its attempt to complete 100% payment to all the DPs. However due to some legal and administrative impediments there are DPs whose payment is either slow or stuck. The efforts for the disbursement of payment to DPs (where the payments unfortunately found to be stuck due to some legal and administrative impediments) seems to be consistent with the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 related to disbursement of compensation and initiation of construction work.

63. The institutional arrangements and consultation and grievance redress mechanisms as mentioned in the approved LARP are in place. However SSMC’s staff needs to more training and resources to put in place an achievable work plan, improve outreach to DPs, timely reporting of periodical reports, meaningful consultation, proper functioning of GRC, fully functional management information system, which is lacking, a more experienced and qualified resettlement specialist, well oriented team of social mobilizers and coordination require improvement.

64. Almost all the DPs showed their concerns pertain to the assessment of prices by the Provincial Revenue Departments. The complainants have been informed that the prices were assessed/ fixed on the basis of average of the transactions carried out during the last one year and including an independent land valuation study that they were allowed an opportunity by the Land Collector to record the grievances prior to announcement of award.

65. Status of awareness among the DPs regarding the compensation payment and livelihood assistances was found 100%. The DPs are generally happy with compensation payments and they made the good use of compensation payment like, i) purchased alternate land, ii) constructed a new houses, iii) started business, iv) part of the amount spent on children education, v) performed Hajj, and vi) arranged the marriages of their children.

66. The SSMC’s staff is frustrated due to the non-payment of monthly salaries from last 7 months which ultimately have impacts on their performance. Additionally, the resources especially the vehicle is not available for field visit eventually the consultations with the DPs are not held as per schedule.

67. The contract of SSMC is expired from September 30, 2017 but the payment to DPs is still pending. Hence, without the support of social mobilization staff it become hard to facilitate the DPs in payment disbursement.

Page 27: PAK: National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program ...€¦ · Pictorial Presentation ..... 46. ii List of Figures Figure 1.1: Location Map of E-35 Project 2 Figure 2.1: Payment

25

6 Recommendations

68. On the bases of above-mentioned LARP implementation progress, following actions are recommended for delivery of undisbursed payments to DPs having legal and administrative impediments:

a. In case of compensation and rehabilitation allowances, PIU need to maintain a close liaison with revuene department facilitaitng the DPs in completing the documentation/ claim files required eligiblity of payment.

b. The unpaid DPs due to meager amounts need to be paid in cash as per their preference as BOR standing order 28 (Punjab) and revenue circular 54 (KPK) allows cash compensation to DPs in villages.

c. NHA need to continue its efforts to make the payment to DPs of meager compensation and also continues follow up with Provincial board of revenue for appropriate compensation mechanism which may facilitate payments to DPs of meager amount expeditiously. The progress of payment should be provided in the monthly progress report, and QIMR (validation by EMA).

d. PIU and revenue department must also continue to facilitate payment of DPs who have problems with CNIC, correction in names/titles and inheritance. Progress on these cases needs to be reported in monitoring reports and verified by EMA;

e. PIU alone lacks the capacity in term of staff strength to address compensation matters and needs support of Social Mobilization staff in addressing the compensation matter and safeguards monitoring reports and compliance requirements. Hence, Social Mobilization Expert must be inducted in this regard.

f. EMA recommends analyzing the contract made between NHA and SSMC to find out payment arrangement, mode and timing of payment as to why payments are so delayed. A joint visit of PIU, SSMC and ADB (for supervises the implementation to ensure consistency of procedures adopted with ADB’s policy) should be undertaken to identify the items that are missing which impede SSMC’s work and performance. In addition, NHA/PIU will ensure that all the SSMC staffs receive salaries on the dates as specified in the contract and this should be monitored internally by PIU and validated by EMA.

g. Consultations with DPs must also continue on regular basis to facilitate them in resolving any grievances and issues pertinent to payment of meager amounts on other payments pending due CNIC and problems with land records, etc.
