EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ES–1 INTRODUCTION

1. This report consists of Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan of Emergency Road Rehabilitation Project (ERRP) “Sharifabad-Kanju Road”. The proposed Project is a Provincial Highway S-3B which is on the right bank of the Swat River. This project would help respond to the post-conflict situation by carrying out emergency rebuilding of priority road infrastructure damaged during the conflict in the Province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The proposed project focuses on early recovery priorities agreed between the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP) authorities and the World Bank to be funded under Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF), the World Bank is the (administrator of this MDTF. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to enable the population along the Project corridor to benefit from year round improved access and mobility through reconstruction of priority damaged roads and bridges in the conflict hit areas. The expected outcome is improved traffic flow resulting in reduced vehicle operating costs and travel time for beneficiaries using the road. The project will be implemented by the Frontier Highways Authority (FHA), an autonomous provincial roads organization of the GoKP. The cost of resettlement under this project will be funded by MDTF.

ES–2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2. The project is located in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Tehsil Kabbal, District Swat on right bank of River Swat. The existing road traverses through small towns and cultivated lands on the right bank of River Swat. The project road feeds numerous settlements / villages of varying sizes namely Sharifabad, Daggay, Ajmeer Abad, Kabbal, Guljabba, Hazara, Ali Grama and Kanju.

3. It is a three year project starting from August 2011 and will be physically closed on June 30, 2014 but the RAP will be implemented within a period of one year starting from September 2011. The project has two components. The first relates to Infrastructure Rebuilding and the second to Project Management. The Component-1 consists of civil works along the provincial highway S-3B (Sharifabad - Kanju) comprising: (a) Reconstruction and Widening of about 10.5 Km. of highway, including related structures from Sharifabad (Km. 30+424) to Kanju (Km. 40+924); (b) Associated Relocation of Utilities, Land Acquisition and Resettlement. The Component-2 includes support for Contract Administration & Construction Supervision Consultant Services; (a) Environmental & Social Safeguards Consultant Services; and (b) Other Project Management Activities through the financing of incremental operating costs. The SIA / RAP relates to Component-1 of the project.

ES–3 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE DESIGN OPTIONS

4. Alternative Design Options. After making detailed discussions and analysis on the alternatives it was concluded that improvement / rehabilitation of the existing rout with reduced RoW at built-up areas, is the only viable option from the considerations of socioeconomic impacts.

5. A Due Diligence study, conducted by FHA in April-May 2011, to preliminary assess the resettlement impacts of the project according to the initial design of the new road. The study


revealed that a total of 498 persons will be directly affected and about 4,900 persons shall be indirectly affected by the Project. The potential adverse impacts of the Project have been expected from acquisition of about 30 kanals of (mostly productive) land in rural areas to improve road curves, loss of about 1,000 trees and crops on 40 kanals associated with land (30 kanals of land to be acquired and 10 kanals encroached by the farmers). It was decided that in urban areas the project will remain within its existing right of way but structures constructed within the right of way would have affected. It was envisaged that the new road would affect 158 permanent structures of small businesses / shops (123 structures partially and 35 significantly), temporarily disruption to 358 vendors and squatters of small businesses. Impacts on 46 houses (37 partially and 9 significantly), 38 boundary walls of commercial buildings (21 partially, 13 significantly and 4 fully).

6. But FHA reviewed its strategy keeping in view the objectives of the World Policy on Involuntary Resettlement to avoid or minimize resettlement impacts; the FHA adopted the following approach in designing of the project road.

(a) At sections, where there are no resettlement issues, mostly in rural areas, the full RoW width (15 m) will be considered for road improvement works.

(b) At build-up semi-urban areas where RoW has been encroached by the people, the road improvement works will be confined to the CoI instead of taking full width of RoW. It will be ensured that required CoI (7.3 m) is available at the build-up areas to make the road improvements as per design and the structures will be removed from the CoI.

7. According to the final inventory survey of project affected assets, now the project will impact 26 structures (16 shops, 08 houses and 02 boundary walls), 93 non-fruit trees and crops on 1.3 acres (0.53 hectare) of land encroached by farmers, varying from 40 feet to 1000 feet. The source of livelihood of 27 squatters and 05 business tenants will be affected.

8. The project road has been divided into 05 sections to segregate those road sections where the resettlement impacts will occur. There will be no resettlement impacts on Section-1 (4.24 Km. from Sharifabad - Kabal), Section-3 (2.26 Km. from Kabal – Hazara) and Section-5 (2.36 Km. Aligrama – Kanju) but there will be resettlement impacts on Section–2 (0.25 Km from Chana Khora - Kabal) and Section–4 (Hazara – Aligrama). Civil works can be started on the section 01, 03 and 05 where there are no any resettlement impacts. But the commencement of civil works on Section 2 and 4, where resettlement impacts will occur, is conditional on disclosure of approved SIA and RAP to the potential affected persons, their communities and other stakeholders, and full payment of compensation including loss of structures, trees, crops and income restoration, rehabilitation, relocation assistance. The chainage wise detail of these sections is given in Table - 1.1 of Chapter – 1.

ES–4 OBJECTIVE OF THE SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN

9. The objective of the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is to identify Project Affected Persons (PAPs), affected due to the road improvement works of ERRP, assess the types and extent of losses, consultations and ways to compensate PAPs, to ensure that they are not


adversely affected by the project or left in worse conditions. SIA provides a detailed inventory survey of project impacts and a census survey of the project affected household and a socioeconomic survey of affected population.

10. The primary objective of the RAP is to provide necessary details for compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation by identifying (i) the extent of losses; (ii) the policy framework for compensation payments, income restoration, relocation and rehabilitation; (iii) mechanisms for timely disclosure of information to the affected person and other stakeholder (iv) institutional framework for participation and implementation; (v) grievance redress and (vi) responsibilities for monitoring the implementation process (vii) resettlement budget and implementation schedule.

ES–5 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

11. The SIA study of the project has been made in a systematic manner. Besides collecting information from secondary sources, and project related literature, the surveys were conducted to collect field data by using pre-structured data collection forms. A Village Profile Survey conducted in Sharifabad / Daggay, Seranai, Akhonkalay, Kabal, Gul Jabba, Hazara, Aligrama and Kanju villages which aimed at collecting information on socioeconomic settings of all the villages from Sharifabad to Kanju. The existing ROW of the selected 10.5 Km section is sufficient to accommodate the road extension / improvement works. The people, however, have built structures within the ROW by making encroachments in the government/FHA land. To assess the project impacts, a complete census (on 100 percent basis) of such people/assets within the ROW was carried out. A sample Socio-economic Survey was carried out of 50% affected households in order to develop a socioeconomic baseline. The cut–off date to determine the eligibility and entitlements for compensation under the project was announced as May 11, 2011, the completion date of PAPs Inventory Survey. People moving into the RoW after this date were not and will not be considered as entitled to any compensation.

ES–6 SUMMARY OF PROJECT IMPACTS

12. The reconstruction and widening of the project road under Component-1 will be carried out within the available 50 feet wide ROW already owned by FHA, hence, no additional land will be required. The survey has indicated that over time, the land within the 50 feet ROW has been encroached by the local people to extend their business and housing structures. At build-up semi-urban areas where RoW has been encroached by the people, the road improvement works will be confined to the CoI instead of taking full width of RoW. It will be ensured that required CoI (7.3 m) is available at the build-up areas to make the road improvements as per design and the structures will be removed from the CoI.

13. The final Census Survey of the project impacts revealed that 26 structures of various construction types will be affected to various extents due to project works. The project will impact 16 small business structures, 8 residential housing structures and boundary walls of 2 houses. In addition to this, 93 privately owned timber/fuel wood trees and 77 fuel wood trees owned by the Forest Department will also be removed. And crops on 1.3 acres (0.53 hectare) of encroached land (ranging from 218 sq.ft to 8984 sq.ft. will be affected.


14. Total number of affected households (AHHs) comes to 83 (among them 08 AHHs with combined ownership of crops and trees), all encroached on FHA land, of which 16 owners of small business structures, 08 owners of residential houses, 04 owners of trees, 31 crop owners of agriculture land (do not have any agriculture tenant/sharecropper), 05 tenants of small business structures, and 27 squatters of micro roadside businesses. These include 02 absentees AHHs as well, one of these absentees is a structure owner and the other is the owner of wood trees, estimated members/persons of AHHs are 581. Major professions of the affected households are farming, business and services, skilled and unskilled labor and foreign remittances. The impact on income / livelihood due to damages to the business structures will have major impacts on the household income while loss of cropping area and wood trees will have minor impacts on the household income. Detail of project impacts is given in Table - 4.2 of Chapter – 4.

15. Project impacts have been divided into minor, significant and severe categories keeping in view the extent of impact on the affected asset. The minor impact is where the impact on an asset or income is less than or up to 10 %, the significant impact category denotes the impact as more than 10% but less than 25% and severe impact is where a structure/asset/incomes impacted by more than 25%. The Extent of Projects Impacts is provided in Table S–1.

16. Out of 16 shops of small businesses, 13 with severe impacts will need relocation (Out of these 11 are run by owners themselves and 5 are operated by tenants) but FHA has no land along the road to relocate these PAPs. Detailed consultations were made with PAPs to this effect and they agreed that if they will be compensate sufficiently they will give their affected shops for road improvement works and hire shops in the nearby markets of Kabal or Kajnu. Accordingly provisions have been made in the project entitlement policy to compensate them sufficiently, detail is given in the Entitlement Matrix, Table S–2 of this Chapter.

17. All affected housing structures fall under the category of severe impacts, however these will not need relocation as there is ample space available for reconstruction of a new structure. During consultations PAPs were of the view that if they will be paid full cost of their affected structure then they will be able to construct a new one and would have no objection to surrender


the affected building and land of the house for road improvement works. Owners of these structures will be provided full cost of their affected structures at current 2011 prices as shown in the Entitlement Matrix. Similarly, the affected boundary walls will be compensated at replace cost.

ES–7 CONSULTATIONS, PARTICIPATION AND DISCLOSURE

18. Consultation process was carried out by identifying the project stakeholders; in compliance of the requirements of World Bank on public consultation. The consultation process carried out by holding scoping sessions with the PAPs and local communities. Wayside consultations were also held with general highway users, including transport passengers, vehicle drivers, roadside shopkeepers, and passersby. In this connection 165 male and 31 female participated in the consultation sessions. The participants were appraised about the FHA policy for the improvement of this road. They were told that FHA will utilize full RoW of the road at sections where road passes through rural areas. However, at semi-urban areas like Kabbal, Aligrama and Kanju, the road improvement works will adjust within the available width of the road. At such locations, the availability of minimum required width of 10m will be ensured and any structure falling within this requirement will be demolished and the owner of the structure will be compensated according to the extent of damage to the structure at current 2011 rates. Participants welcomed the FHA’s road improvement efforts. They offered their views and provided useful suggestions for enhancing the social acceptability of the project. Besides, 55 women from different walks of life such as housewives, school teachers, students and health workers were also consulted by the individual female enumerators to seek their views / concerns on the project. Generally all of them favoured the project. It was found that seven (07) Civil-society/Community organizations (COs) are working in the project area, detail of these COs is given in Table – 7.15 of Chapter - 7. Consultation meetings with these COs were also held, they welcomed the project and assured their full cooperation for smooth implementation of the project works in coordination with FHA.

19. In addition to the Bank’s internal procedures of safeguard documents disclosure, the final SIA and RAP document has been disclosed by the FHA on its website on August 22, 2011. It will be shared with the stakeholders including government line agencies (involve in resettlement), local Community Organizations (COs) and Project Affected Persons (PAPs) through their committees and location specific meetings. The FHA will translate final SIA/RAP document into Urdu and share a copy of it with Affected Persons Committees, COs, government agencies involved in the resettlement, civil works contractor(s), construction supervision consultants and other stakeholders. A summary of RAP in the form of an Information Brochure will be shared with each Affected Household (AHH) through registered mail in Urdu, a copy of Information Brochure is attached as Annexure–15 but it will be translated into Urdu soon after RAP approval.

ES–8 FORMATION OF AFFECTED PERSONS COMMITTEES

20. After detailed consultations with Project Affected Persons, two Affected Persons Committees (APCs) were formed, to look after the social and resettlement related matters. One APC for Section 2 of the road (from Sharifabad to Kabal) and the other for Section 4 (from Kabal to Kanju) detail of representatives of these APCs is given in Annexure–13 & 14.


ES–9 LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

21. This document has been prepared under the provisions of the prevailing country laws, World Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy (OP/BP 4.12) and OP/BP Policy 12.04 on Public Disclosure. The broader principles defined in Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF) also followed, the Bank has prepared ESSAF, in accordance with the OP 8.0 for emergency operations, for the projects under Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) to address the potentially negative environmental and/or social impacts associated with the projects under MDTF. ESSAF will also apply to this. Since this project (ERRP) is financed through MDTF, ESSAF is applicable to this project also. The ESSAF specifies the environmental and social assessment requirements the implementing agency will need to fulfill before any Project under the MDTF can be implemented. The Framework also describes the generic environmental/social monitoring and reporting requirements to be fulfilled during the Project implementation, in addition to defining the broad institutional arrangements required for environmental and social safeguard aspects associated with the individual projects under the MDTF. The ESSAF has been shared with the FHA and it has been disclosed locally disclosed by FHA on Communication and Works (C&W) Department’s website on May 17, 2011.

22. A project Policy on entitlement and compensation has been developed to compensate all damages to the structures on current market rates at replacement cost, livelihood restoration program, relocation and rehabilitation allowances, provision of space for squatters on the roadside drains and compensation against loss of cropping area (a narrow strip) and wood trees. The detail of compensation entitlements is given in Chapter – 2 but a summary is given in Entitlement Matrix (EM) in the Table S–2 below, it defines the entitled persons and their entitlement policy for the project.

1. The OPL of Rs. 879 per capita / month were announced by the government in 2004–2005 (Pakistan

Economic Survey, 2005–06, Table 41). The latest estimate of inflation–adjusted poverty line per capita per month comes to Rs. 1734.52 in 2011. By taking the av. household size as 6.89 persons, the amount comes to Rs. 11,951/-.



Absentee AHHs

FHA will make efforts by involving the PAPCs to find the absentee AHHs. In case of their non-availability, the FHA with the consent of PAPCs, will notify affected absentee squatter-owners for salvaging the structure directly or through a public notice at least two months prior to taking over the possession.

For this purpose, PMU will deposit the entitled amounts in an escrow account for those AHHs and the absentee AHHs until the project completion period or until all APs receive payments within the project period. If not, then money will be deposited with government treasury by the FHA.

ES–10 SOCIOECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT AREA AND PAPS

23. Socioeconomic assessment of the project area revealed Islam is the religion of 99.9 percent of the respondents and Pashto is the main language of the area. Urdu and English are also used by the educated people. People live in joint or shared families. Most of the project area is rural except Kabal and Kanju towns which can be considered as semi–urban. Literacy rate of the sample population is 57 percent. The average household is comprised of 07 members and average monthly income per sample household is Rs. 28723/– whereas average monthly expenditure per household are Rs. 24190/–, which amounts to 86 percent of the total income. The analysis indicates that people of the area are generally industrious and hardworking. Traditional “Jirga” is the effective conflict resolution mechanism in the area.

24. Survey has revealed that routine life of a woman revolves around her home and children. They have not equal rights in legacy and greater say in the routine life matters. Women of the area are in quite miserable condition due to the non–availability of basic amenities like girl’s high school, maternity hospital etc.

ES–11 OTHER SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS / SOCIAL RISKS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

25. Surveys of the project area and consultations with the PAPs and other stakeholders, the socioeconomic impacts / social risks were identified are: increased risk of accidents caused by partial closure of road during construction, problems to health and safety of labor and employees on construction work and provision of safety equipment to workers on site, social conflicts and employment of locals on the Project, source of local water supplies and other common resources, possibility of spread of HIV / AIDS amongst the project labor and adjoining population and restricted mobility of local people due to project works. A detailed description of these risks and their mitigation in the light of consultations with the PAPs/communities and other stakeholders is given in Chapter - 8.

ES–12 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

26. FHA has established a Project Management Unit (PMU) with a Project Director and other essential staff to manage implementation of all aspects of ERRP (Sharifabad–Kanju Road. A field Implementation Unit’ (FIU) is also established headed by Deputy Director (North) and supported by Deputy Director (Environment) and Assistant Director (Resettlement). This Unit shall be responsible for general administration, coordination with other authorities to ensure


timely relocation of various utility services, oversight of environmental safeguards, management of social safeguards, handing over of sites to the contractor and performance monitoring of RAP implementation and civil works implementation. Initiation of civil works will only start if the Bank issue no objection after RAP disclosure to the PAPs and compensations described in this RAP is fully delivered to the PAPs.

27. The FHA is lacking expertise at field and headquarters level to implement RAP and address other social issues. A training program Is suggested for the project staff, key objective of training program is to ensure that the policy principles and requirements of the RAP are clearly understood and followed throughout the project. The trainings to the staff will help in enhancing their capabilities to better implement the RAP.

ES–13 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM:

28. A Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) has been developed to provide a public forum to the aggrieved persons to raise their objections and address these issues adequately through conflict resolution, The main objective of the GRM is to investigate charges of irregularities and complaints received from the affectees and provide an early, transparent and fair resolution. Under the GRM, a Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will be formulated at the project site which will look into all the grievance cases and redress them on timely and efficient manner. GRC will be headed by Deputy Director North of FHA and will have representation of Assistant Director (Resettlement) of FHA, Resident Engineer of Supervision Consultants, 2 representatives from Affected Persons Committees, 2 from local Jirga and Resettlement Specialist (consultant). The Resettlement Specialist will maintain a community complaints-management register to record grievances brought forward by affected communities, but the Assistant Director (Resettlement) will ensure that these are appropriately addressed. The Bank will be kept informed by reporting summary of these complaints and their redressal in the monthly progress reports. The detailed GRM has been given in Chapter – 10.

ES–14 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE AND BUDGET

29. Implementation of the RAP will be completed within one year starting from September 2011, detailed Implementation Schedule is given in Table – 9.1 of Chapter – 9.

30. The cost of RAP implementation is included in the overall budget of the Component-1 of the project and will be financed through the project grant under MDTF. The total estimated cost of the Resettlement Plan is calculated as Rs. 21.241 Million / US$ 0.249 Million.

ES–15 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

31. Internal and external monitoring arrangements have been developed for the implementation monitoring of the RAP. The key objective of the RAP monitoring is to ensure its effective and efficient implementation. In order to achieve the above objectives, two types of monitoring have been proposed for the project. These include the Internal Monitoring and External Monitoring. For internal monitoring, a Social and Resettlement Committee (SRC) will be formed at the project level, consisting of DD (North), DD (Environment), AD (Resettlement), Resettlement Specialist (consultant) and representatives from the Supervision Consultants and


contractor(s). This committee will be responsible for coordinating the RAP implementation and monitoring issues and reporting to the Project Director.

32. FHA will engage an independent agency (an NGO, an academic institute or an individual consultant) to conduct 3rd party monitoring/validation of RAP implementation. The third party will carry out external monitoring on quarterly basis and a final evaluation at the end of the Project.


CHAPTER – 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL

33. This report presents the draft Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Plan of Emergency Road Rehabilitation Project (ERRP) “Sharifabad-Kanju” funded under Multi Donor Trust Fund, administer by the World Bank. The proposed Project is a Provincial HIghway S-3B which is on the right bank of the Swat River. This project would help respond to the post-conflict situation by carrying out emergency rebuilding of priority road infrastructure damaged during the conflict in the Province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The project focuses on early recovery priorities agreed between the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP) authorities and the World Bank being the administrator of the Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF). Given the deep crisis situation, exacerbated by the 2010 devastating floods, the main focus of the first set of priorities is restoration/improvement of pedestrian and vehicular access to some of the KP’s poorest neighborhoods in the Swat Valley. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to enable the population along the Project corridor to benefit from year round improved access and mobility through reconstruction of priority damaged roads and bridges in the conflict hit areas. The anticipated results will support Governmental efforts to help maintain minimal economic activity and improve social and political stability in the province. The project will be implemented by the Frontier Highways Authority (FHA), an autonomous provincial roads organization of the GoKP. The expected outcome is improved traffic flow resulting in reduced vehicle operating costs and travel time for beneficiaries using the road.

34. This RAP has been prepared by the Frontier Highway Authority based on consolidation of census survey of 100% losses of Project Affected Persons’ (PAPs) assets, socio-economic survey of 30% affected households (AFs), socio-economic profiling of every settlement lying on the road and on-going consultations through meetings, interviews, focus group discussions with the AFs/PAPs and other stakeholders, in accordance with the World Bank Policy 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement. The RAP has been reviewed and fully endorsed by the FHA through its Project Management Unit (PMU). The PMU has already been established for the project, headed by the Project Director (PD). The PD / PMU reports to the Managing Director of FHA, the overall responsibility of RAP implementation lies with the Project Director.

1.2 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

35. The proposed road under this project is located in the Kabbal tehsil of Swat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, on right bank of River Swat (Location Map attached as Figure – 1.1 and 1.2). The existing road traverses through small towns and cultivated lands on the right bank of River Swat. The project road feeds numerous settlements / villages of varying sizes namely Sharifabad, Daggay, Ajmeer Abad, Kabbal, Guljabba, Hazara, Ali Grama and Kanju.

36. It is a three year project starting from August 2011 and will be physically closed on June 30, 2014 but the RAP will be implemented within a period of one year starting from October 2011. The project has two components, the first relates to Infrastructure Rebuilding and the second is support to the Project Management Unit (PMU). The Component-1 consists of civil


works along the provincial highway S-3B (Sharifabad-Kanju) comprising: (a) Reconstruction and widening of about 10.5 Km. of highway, including related structures from Sharifabad (Km. 30+424) to Kanju (Km. 40+924); (b) associated relocation of utilities, land acquisition (which is no more needed under final design) and resettlement. The Component-2 includes support for Contract Administration & Construction Supervision Consultant Services; (a) Environmental & Social Safeguards Consultant Services; and (b) Other Project Management Activities through the financing of incremental operating costs.

1.3 RAP RELATED PROCEDURES AND CONDITIONALITIES

37. The World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement requires a Resettlement Action Plan to be prepared to identify and compensate all losses caused by the project. as a result a RAP has been prepared for this project. The evacuation of ROW and initiation of civil works on the road sites will be contingent to fulfill the following conditions:

(a) Approval of this RAP by the World Bank and its disclosure to the public that contains approved unit rates for structures; crops and trees (fruit / wood); dislocation subsidy, income restoration and rehabilitation program; and

(b) Commencement of civil works on the resettlement sites is conditional on full payment of compensation including rehabilitation, relocation and livelihood support assistance.

1.4 SCREENING LEVEL SOCIAL AND RESETTLEMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT

38. A preliminary Due Diligence study conducted by FHA to assess the project impacts, according to the study a total of 498 persons will be directly affected by the Project. The potential adverse impacts expected from acquisition of about 30 kanals of (mostly productive) land in rural areas to improve road curves, loss of about 1,000 trees and crops on 40 kanals associated with land (30 kanals of land to be acquired and 10 kanals encroached by the farmers). In urban areas the project would have affected 158 permanent structures of small businesses / shops (123 structures will be affected partially and 35 significantly). It will also temporarily disrupt businesses of 358 vendors and squatters. 46 houses will be affected (37 partially and 9 significantly), 38 boundary walls of commercial buildings will be affected (21 partially, 13 significantly and 4 fully).

39. But FHA reviewed its strategy keeping in view the objectives of the World Policy on Involuntary Resettlement to avoid land acquisition and limit the displacement. The FHA adopted the following approach in the design of project road.

(a) At sections, where there are no resettlement issues, the full RoW width (15 m) will be considered for road improvement works.

(b) At build-up areas where RoW has been encroached by the people, the road improvement works will be confined to the COI instead of taking full width of RoW. It will be ensured that required COI (7.3 m) is available at the build-up areas to make the road improvements as per design. If required, the structures will be removed from the CoI.


40. According to the final inventory survey of project affected assets, now the project will impact 26 structures it includes 16 shops located at Kabal. Aligrama and Kanju areas. Of which 13 shops are with severe impacts and need relocation but other 03 shops with significant impacts will not need relocation. The number of affected houses comes to 08, all are with severe impacts. However, these structures have ample land space for rebuilding and these will not require relocation. For 02 affected boundary walls of residential structures, these will be reconstructed after clearing COI and will not affect structure of the houses. The project will need up-rooting of privately owned 93 fuel wood trees, scattered in a 4.5 km linear area, removal of these trees will have minor impact on the source of livelihood of the owners. At the semi-urban area of Kabbal, 27 micro road side business operators (squatters) will lose their income earnings, temporarily, for the period of construction of road at that location. These are vulnerable and cannot bear such shock to their income earning source. They have been provided with livelihood allowance and additional compensation for being vulnerable.

1.5 NEED FOR SIA STUDY AND RAP :

41. Following the requirements of Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF), a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) study) is being undertaken and a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) has been prepared. After the screening level social and resettlement impacts assessment, it was necessary to collect the information on social and resettlement impacts of the Project from the real field conditions according to the final detailed design of the project; and access and estimate in advance, the social consequences that are to be emerged with the implementation of the project.

1.6 OBJECTIVES OF THE SOCIAL ASSESSMENT AND RESETTLEMENT PLAN

42. The objective of the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is to identify Project Affected Persons, to be affected due to the road improvement works, assess the types and extent of losses/impacts, consultations and ways to compensate them, to ensure that they are not adversely affected by the project or left in worse conditions. SIA provides a detailed inventory survey of project impacts and a census survey of the project affected household and a social economic survey of affected population.

43. The primary objective of the RAP is to provide necessary details for compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation by identifying (i) the extent of losses; (ii) the policy framework for compensation payments, income restoration, relocation and rehabilitation; (iii) mechanisms for timely disclosure of information to the affected person and other stakeholder (iv) institutional framework for participation and implementation; (v) grievance redressal and (vi) responsibilities for monitoring the implementation process (vii) resettlement budget and implementation schedule

1.7 EXISTING ROAD CONDITIONS

44. The existing road is narrow and in poor condition especially from Sharif Abad to Kanju. The Right of way (ROW) is 15 m as per “Rewaj Nama” (the road by–laws during the regime of ex–ruler of Swat valley). Major distress includes raveling, cracking and patching. This section from Km. 30+424 to Km. 35+000 is single lane road. The width of the existing road in this


section ranges from 4.5 – 5.0 m whereas in the remaining 6 km stretch it ranges from 6.0 – 6.5 meters. Presently, this 10.5 Km section carries a little passenger and freight traffic.

1.8 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS UNDER THE PROJECT

45. The new road has been designed as 02–lane single carriage way having a black topped width of 7.31m with 02 m paved shoulder on each side. In build-up areas, pacca covered drains with top width of 1.22 m and 0.50 m elevated above finished road level will be provided. These covered drains will also be used as footpaths. The typical cross section of the existing and the proposed road is provided as Annexure–1 and 2.

1.9 AVAILABILITY OF ROW (LAND)

46. The road from Sharifabad-Kanju (a part of PHS–03 Chakdarra-Madyan Road), was previously a District road, later on converted to a provincial highway and transferred to the Frontier Highway Authority (FHA) vide. Secretary to Govt: of C&W Deptt: Peshawar Notification No. SOG / W&S / Notification / 2006 dated 02.12.2006 in accordance to Frontier Highways Authority ordinance. Copy attached as Annexure–3. The details about the availability of land for the road from Revenue Record is provided as Annexure–3(a).

47. Being an emergency road project and to facilitate the civil works, the road has been divided into 05 sections, based on the findings of the inventory survey, to segregate those road sections where the resettlement impacts will occur. The improvement works can be started immediately at sections with no resettlement impacts. The details of these sections are provided in Table – 1.1 below :

CHAPTER – 2

LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

2.1 GENERAL

49. According to the project design, the existing available ROW is sufficient enough to accommodate the road improvement works. Therefore, no privately owned land will be acquired for the project so the Land Acquisition Act 1894 of Pakistan will not be applied. The project is being funded by the MDTF administered by the World Bank. The Bank’s social safeguard Policy seek to avoid or minimize and mitigate adverse social impacts; and social costs to the affected people or vulnerable groups, as a result of implementation of the project, has been applied and discussed in this Chapter.

2.2 THE WORLD BANK POLICY ON INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT OPERATIONAL POLICY- 4.12

50. The World Bank’s Operational Policy-4.12 deal with the issues and concerns relating to involuntary resettlement due to the development projects and provides principles and guidelines to mitigate the adverse impacts on the local community, particularly their relocation / displacement. The Bank’s experience indicates that involuntary resettlement under development projects, if unmitigated, often gives rise to severe economic, social, and environmental risks: production systems are dismantled; people face impoverishment when their productive assets or income sources are lost; people are relocated to environments where their productive skills may be less applicable and the competition for resources greater; community institutions and social networks are weakened; kin groups are dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority, and the potential for mutual help are diminished or lost. This policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate these impoverishment risks.2 As such this policy provides basis for the development / preparation of Resettlement Policy Framework and Resettlement Plan.

51. The main objectives of Bank’s safeguard policies can be described as under :

(a) Reduce and manage adverse risks of the development projects

(b) Identify opportunities for promoting social benefits

(c) Provide a process for full disclosure and meaningful stakeholders consultation

(d) Ensure that social risks are systematically addressed, evaluated, and incorporated at various stages of the project, such as decision–making, design, construction and operations.

52. The triggers of the Bank’s policy , in case of ERRP “Sharifabad – Kanju Road” financed under WB administered MDTF , are described as follows :

2. Excerpts from WB OP 4.12, WB Operational Manual, December 2001.


(a) Loss of Income Sources or Livelihood: The final Census Survey of the project impacts revealed that the project will impact 16 small business structures and crops on 1.3 acres (0.53 hectare) of encroached land (ranging a strip from 218 sq.ft to 8984 sq.ft.) will be affected.

(b) Loss of Immoveable Assets And Infrastructure: describe that what losses will occur in rural area and what in urban/semi urban The project will affect 26 structures of various types including 16 shops, 08 residential houses and 02 boundary walls of residential houses. All these assets are located in semi-urban areas. In addition to these 93 non-fruit trees, all located in the rural stretch of the road, will be affected. Besides private structures, the project will disrupt public assets 100 electric pole owned by Peshawer Electric Supply Corporation (PESCO), 52 telephone poles owned by Pakistan Tele-Communication Ltd (PTCL) and 77 wood trees owned by the Forest Department of the Govt of KPK. Small rural settlements are situated at various distances from the road. Pedestrian paths / access roads to these settlements originate from the road. The construction activities will cause complete or partial disruption of access to these paths / access roads in the construction stage, causing a social and economic disturbance for the people of the area.

2.2.1 BP–17.50 Public Disclosure

53. The BP–17.5 of the World Bank requires that the project related information / documents should be made public. The policy has laid down procedures for disclosing the documents relating to SIA study and RAP of the project to the various tiers of the stakeholders and general public. The project information has already been disclosed / shared with the people at the time of the Public Hearing arranged by Provincial EPA at Kabal on 24.05.2011 and during the socioeconomic and census surveys of the project area from May – July 2011. The SIA / RAP document will also be disclosed to the public and PAPs as per the Bank policy, after its clearance from the Bank.

2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK (ESSAF)

54. To provide a mechanism to carry out appropriate assessment of environment and social impacts and implement necessary safeguard measures under the emergency operations such as this project, the World Bank has prepared the Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF). Recognizing the urgent need for assistance and emergency nature of potential operations to be financed under the MDTF, the ESSAF provides an approach, tailored to this emergency situation in line with OP 8.00 for the emergency operations, to manage the potential environmental and social impacts of the projects and activities. It provides guidelines to the implementing agencies in: (i) carrying out appropriate assessment of environmental and social impacts; (ii) planning and implementing necessary environmental and social mitigation measures for these projects during the implementation phase, in compliance with relevant World Bank safeguard policies and the national regulatory requirements of Pakistan. Since the ERRP is being proposed under MDTF, the ESSAF is applicable to this project also. The key aspects of the Framework are Impact screening, assessment and mitigation planning, consultations, planning, review and approval, disclosure,


capacity building and monitoring implementation of safeguard instruments, a copy of ESSAF is given as Annexure-4.

2.4 RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK AND ENTITLEMENT MATRIX

55. This Resettlement Plan (RAP) has been prepared to compensate the affected people as a result of implementation of improvement / rehabilitation of “Sharifabad–Kanju Road” of ERRP with a total length of 10.5 km. The existing road centerline has been maintained in the detailed design, which minimizes resettlement.

2.4.1 Basic Principles for Resettlement Plan Preparation

56. Taking into account the requirements of the ESSAF guidelines and the OP-4.12, the following basic principles are devised for the preparation of RAP.

(a) The negative impacts on PAPs would be avoided or minimized as much as possible;

(b) Where the negative impacts are unavoidable, the project–affected persons will be assisted in improving or regaining their standard of living. Vulnerable groups will be identified and assisted to improve their standard of living;

(c) The FHA will make cash compensation to the PAPs for their affected structures and assets falling within the ROW.

(d) The FHA will ensure that as far as possible the vulnerable affectees will receive some financial relief from the project. This will include one–time lump sum assistance equal to one month’s inflation adjusted OPL, in addition to other admissible compensation / allowances.

(e) The owners of affected structures, in addition to cash compensation for the structure on replacement cost basis will be allowed to salvage their building material. This applies to the owners including absentee owners of all categories of immovable structures.

(f) Rehabilitation assistance i.e., compensation for lost business and workdays (including employees) due to relocation and disruption of business enterprise will be paid.

(g) Before taking possession of the acquired land and properties, compensation assistance will be made in accordance with the Bank policy.

(h) Appropriate grievance redress mechanism will be established at the project level to ensure speedy resolution of disputes.

2.4.2 Compensation Eligibility

57. PAPs are identified as persons whose structures/assets and livelihood is directly affected by the project due to road improvement works. The eligible PAPs for compensation or at least rehabilitation provisions under the Project would be:


(a) All PAPs identified along the project corridor losing small business structures, residential houses, boundary walls of residential houses, trees and encroached cropped area. The all identified PAPs are encroaches on the government owned RoW.

(b) Tenants whether registered or not; and

(c) PAPs losing business, income and sources of livelihood.

58. Compensation eligibility is attached with the cut–off date that has been announced as 11.05.2011 (refer Chapters 3).

2.4.3 Compensation Entitlements

59. Entitlement provisions for PAPs losing structures, assets, income; and entitled for rehabilitation subsidies, will include residential and commercial structures losses, crops and trees losses, a relocation subsidy, and a business losses allowance; based on tax declarations and / or lump sums, in case of non–availability of such documentation, in accordance with the inflation adjusted official Poverty Line3 (OPL). Project impacts have been divided into minor, significant and severe categories keeping in view the extent of impact on the affected assets / income. The minor impact is that where the impact on an asset or income is less than 10 %. The significant impact category denotes the impact as more than 10% but less than 25% and severe impact is where a structure/asset/income is impacted by more than 25%. A summary of the projects impacts is provided in Table – 2.1 below :

2.4.3.6 Relocation Assistance For Rehabilitation

67. The FHA has no space available of equal economic importance / value along the project corridor to accommodate the owners of the affected structures. In view of this limitation, the following relocation strategy has been adopted. For houses having sufficient land to build a new structure with the same premises full compensation for the total covered area of the structure at replacement cost basis. This will include the provision for the affected covered area. The FHA will provide full details about the compensation to the affected HHs and will attend the any site specific issues. The analysis has revealed that all the 08 affected houses will be adjusted vide this approach. The compensation strategy was discussed in detail with the owner of the affected hoses and they showed their willingness. Further, rental assistance for 06 months @ Rs. 4,000/- per month will be paid to facilitate them for hiring the house during construction period.

68. The owners of the shops with severe (irreversible) impacts will be compensated for the total structure loss at current market prices. They will be facilitated by providing them the advance amount prevalent in the area for hiring a shop. This amount ranges from 50,000/– to 150,000/–, depending on the location of the shop. A provision at Rs. 100,000/– for owners and Rs. 50,000/– for tenants has been made in the EM to this effect. In addition, they will be paid a severe impact allowance for 6 months. Out of 16, there are 13 shops with severe impact and needing relocation. The owner of the shops with significant impacts will be compensated for the affected portion of the shop. In addition, they will be paid a building rehabilitation allowance equal to ½ of the structure compensation. The owners will be given 06 months advance notice for vacation of affected structure at the time of payment of compensation amount. The owners and tenants of these shops have given a commitment in writing to vacate these shops before start of civil works and after getting all entitled compensations. These are provided in Annexure–19.

69. The squatters will be paid livelihood allowance compensation for the temporary disturbance of their income sources for 3 months, equal to inflation adjusted OPL. After the


completion of road improvement works, the squatters will be allowed to re-establish their businesses on the roadside pacca drain at built up areas (semi-urban stretches of the road).

2.4.3.7 Crop Losses to Encroachers of Agricultural Land within the RoW

70. No crop loss will occur as the encroachers have harvested the wheat crop and they have been warned at the time of Census Survey not to cultivate any crop in the FHA owned land in the next season. The encroachers farmers will be provided with one time paid cash compensation at current market rates equal to annual gross harvest, for lost of source of income.

2.4.3.8 Wood Trees

71. No fruit trees will be affected. Only timber / fuel wood trees will need removal from the RoW. The owners will be paid cash compensation at market rate, based on type and age of the affected trees.

For this purpose, PMU will deposit the entitled amounts in an escrow account for those AHHs and the absentee AHHs until the project completion period or until all APs receive payments within the project period. If not, then money will be deposited with government treasury by the FHA.

2.4.5 Interaction with Different Departments / Agencies

74. The FHA is responsible for ensuring the project compliance with the laws and regulations relating to the social concerns of road construction and operations, and that all pre–construction requisites, such as implementation of RAP. This will require interaction with the line departments the nature of the relationship between the FHA and the line departments is given as follows.

(a) Provincial Revenue Department

75. Under the national law, matters relating to land use and ownership are controlled by the Revenue Departments of provincial governments. In case of Sharifabad–Kanju Road of ERRP, the entire 50 feet wide RoW is owned by the FHA as per Revenue Records, and there will be no




acquisition of privately owned land. At the time of RoW clearance from the encroachments, after payment of compensation to the encroachers, the FHA will maintain a close liaison with the local revenue offices to avoid any misunderstanding / issue between the FHA and the PAPs on land ownership related matters.

(b) Local Government & Local Administration

76. The FHA and its contractor must ensure that the project meets the criteria of the GoKPK for the establishment of construction camps and plants, use of water resources and the safe disposal of wastewater. These matters lie in the jurisdiction of Local Governments. Therefore, the contractor should liaise closely with the concerned body. The FHA will coordinate and monitor the social–related issues.

77. The FHA will also liaise with local government / administration on matters related to the recruitment of local labour, their wage rates, resettlement of squatters, removal of encroachments or sources of congestion, traffic controls, etc. In specific cases, the FHA will make an agreement with the municipality, local government, or other service provider concerned on the resettlement of displaced squatters.

(c) Coordination with the Other Concerned Departments

78. The implementation of the project will require tree cutting, relocation of various facilities such as relocation of electric and telephone poles from the RoW. FHA will also need verification of assessment of structures compensation rates from the C&W Department. Tree cutting and compensatory activities will be carried out by the Forest Department and FHA will have to make it sure these activities are carried out well in time by the concerned departments to avoid any delay in project works. All this will require an efficient interaction between the FHA and the other concerned departments.


CHAPTER – 3

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

3.1 GENERAL

79. The construction of project road will impact the social settings of a limited number of local population. In this situation, the need for correct approach for data collection on the socioeconomic impacts and the project affected persons (PAPs) becomes important. The project will affect the existing natural and man–made features falling within a certain Corridor of Impact (CoI). This is a 12 m wide Right of Way (ROW), 6 m from the center line on each side of the road, within which there will be direct impact on the physical and social environment, like removal / relocation / protection of trees, structures, public utilities and other private small business and housing infrastructure. Linear maps of the project design with marked resettlement impacts is given in Annexure-11 of this document. Based on the delineation of the project corridor as indicated by the FHA and the expected project interventions, the following modus operandi was adopted for the conduct of different surveys and collection of information.

3.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PAPs

80. Any person, whose asset / infrastructure, source of income or access to resources is likely to be affected by the project’s operations, is termed as a Project Affected Person (PAP). The PAPs in case of “Sharifabad–Kanju Road” of ERRP are all encroachers. They include mainly the owners of the residential structures, land cultivators, owners of small business shops, tenants of small business shops, squatters and owners of micro businesses located within Col 1 / ROW. Project affected persons have been classified into the following categories.

♦ Shop owners – business operators

♦ Shop tenants – business operators

♦ Owners of residential houses

♦ Owners of residential boundary walls

♦ Squatters

♦ Land cultivators

♦ Tree owners

♦ Absentee owners

3.3 COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FROM SECONDARY SOURCES

81. These included the information collected from various documents / publications of the line departments such as KPK Planning and Development Department, Forest Department, Agriculture Department, Revenue Department, Communication and Works Department, this is Works and Services Department, please confirm information through internet was also collected. Besides, data / information from the District Census Report of Swat was also extracted.


3.4 COLLECTION OF PRIMARY DATA

82. The primary data mainly emerged from the field surveys. The following surveys were conducted to collect the data from the field.

3.4.1 Village Profile Survey

83. A Village Profile Survey conducted in Sharifabad, Daggay, Seranai, Akhonkalay, Kabal (semi-urban), Gul Jabba, Hazara, Aligrama villages and Kanju semi-urban area. All these villages are located along the corridor of the 10.5 Km length of the World Bank financed road from Sharifabad to Kanju.. A pre–structured proforma shown as Annexure-5 was used to collect the information.

3.4.2 Census of Project Affected Persons (PAPs) Encroachers

84. The existing ROW of the selected 10.5 Km section is sufficient to accommodate the road extension / improvement works. However, the people have built structures within the ROW by making encroachments in the government/FHA’s land/ROW. These include shops, houses, mosques, graveyards, etc. People also cultivate crops within the ROW. To assess the project impacts, a complete census (on 100% basis) of such people within the ROW was carried out. But in the semi urban areas instead of taking full width of ROW the road improvement works were confined to the available COI of 10 m. The purpose of census was to register and document the number and status of people likely to be physically displaced or affected otherwise as a result of the project and therefore, entitled to compensation. The following data / information were collected.

(a) Number of people settled within the ROW (b) Nature of business / occupation (c) Type and extent of structures / assets to be affected (d) Replacement costs of structures / assets (e) Ownership documentation (f) Annual income of the owner of the affected structure / asset (from the affected asset and

from other sources) (g) Income of the other family members (h) Vulnerable groups (i) Alternative options for resettlement (j) Type of standing crops, trees and their value (k) Identification of loss of income source

85. The Census Survey was conducted by using a structured questionnaire shown as Annexure-6. Besides, information from the PAPs through focused group discussions and individual interviews was also gathered.

3.4.3 Cut–Off Date

86. The cut–off date to determine the eligibility and entitlements for compensation under the project was taken as May 11, 2011, the date of the completion of Census Survey. People


moving into the RoW after this date were not and will not be considered eligible for or entitled to any compensation.

3.4.4 Socioeconomic Baseline Survey

87. A sample survey was carried out in order to develop a socioeconomic baseline of the general population along the ROW of the project road. For this purpose, the total number of PAPs was taken as universe of the study. The size of study sample was determined as 50% of this universe, on random basis. The purpose was to make the findings of the socio–economic survey more representative of the conditions prevailed in the project area. By adopting this methodology, a sample of 45 respondent households was selected. A pre–structured questionnaire, shown as Annexure-7, was used for data collection. The survey focused on the following features of the sample population.

(a) Demographic characteristics

(b) Education and literacy rates

(c) Nature of business / occupation

(d) Income and Expenditure Pattern

(e) Housing characteristics and amenities

(f) Ownership of Household Items

(g) Women participation in decision making

(h) Conflict Resolution Mechanism

(i) Livestock Ownership

3.4.5 Processing and Analysis of Data

88. Database were developed using the MS excel. Before data entry, the filled–in proformas were a thoroughly checked for any omission. The data were processed and analysed to work out various indicators relating to socioeconomic and censes characteristics of the PAPs. The computerized database, of all the surveys including household wise baseline information, will be kept by the FHA record, in the form of hard copies of the survey forms and computerized database to be used in the implementation of the RAP, for the internal and external monitoring (Third Party Validation) and evaluation.


CHAPTER – 4

SUMMARY OF PROJECT IMPACTS

4.1 GENERAL

89. Project impacts have been divided into minor, significant and severe categories keeping in view the extent of impact on the affected asset and income. The minor impact is that where the impact on an asset is less than or up to 10%, the significant impact category denotes the impact as more than 10% but less than 25% and severe impact is where a structure/asset/income is impacted by more than 25%. The minor and significant impacts are reversible after rehabilitating the affected part/ applying the mitigation measure. Similarly, a minor/ significant impact to the source of livelihood will prevail during the construction of the project, however with varying degrees. The severe impacts are irreversible. A detailed Census Survey, as explained in Chapter – 3, was carried out to record the names of persons, details and extent of their affected income, assets and crops falling in the Row of the Project. The cut–off date of this survey was announced as May 11, 2011 which is the completion date of Census Survey. Any person, whose asset / infrastructure, source of income or access to resources is likely to be affected by the project’s operations, is an Affected Person. These include mainly the encroachers of land and assets located within the RoW.

4.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AFFECTED PERSONS

90. According to the Revenue Records; the FHA owns RoW of this road. It is 50 feet wide, 25 feet to both sides of the road from the centre line of the existing road. This is sufficient space to accommodate the proposed road development works. Hence no land acquisition is involved. The survey has indicated that over time, the people have encroached the RoW by extending their business and residential structures, also used by squatters for micro businesses, and farmers for cropping, wood trees are also grown on it by the people and Forest Department. It is also used by government department for installation of public utilities such as electricity and telephone poles. The number of such encroacher/affected households (AHHs) has been identified as 83 in total, , all encroached on FHA land/ROW, of which 16 owners of small business structures, 05 tenants of small business structures, 08 owners of residential houses, 04 owners of trees, 31 crop cultivators on land within the RoW (do not have any agriculture tenant/sharecropper) and 27 squatters of micro roadside businesses. The number of these AHHS comes to 91 but there are 08 AHHs with combined ownership of crops and trees. Besides 02 absentees AHHs have also been identified. By excluding the AHHs with multiple ownership, the actual/absolute number of AHHs becomes 83. One of these absentees is a structure owner and the other wood trees owner. Estimated members / persons of AHHs are 573. The major professions of the affected households are farming, business and services, skilled and unskilled labor and foreign remittances. The impact on income / livelihood due to damages to the business structures will have severe impacts on the household income while loss of cropping area and wood trees will have minor impacts on the household income. Among 16 affected shops, 13 are under severe impacts while 03 fall under significant impact category. All the 08 affected houses come under the severe category of impacts.


4.3 LOSS OF CROPPED AREA

91. The survey has revealed that 31 farmers will be losing their source of income as a result of loss of encroached land of RoW. Wheat and Maize are grown in the winter and in the summer season, respectively. The loss of cropped area to the individual farmers is minor, varying from 218 sq. feet to 9000 sq. feet. Total affected crop area comes to 12.84 Kanals (1.3 acres / 0.53 hectare). The information in respect of encroached affected area is provided in Annexure–8.

4.4 REMOVAL OF TREES

92. The project will need up-rooting of privately owned 93 fuel wood trees. These are scattered in a 5.5 km linear area. These will not impact the source of livelihood of the owners. These include kikar (acacia), Chir, Bakain, shahtoot (mulberry) All the affected trees are mostly at the pole stage with average age ranging between 6–9 years. These will be used as firewood. In addition to these trees, 77 fuel wood trees owned by the Forest Department of GoKPK will also need removal. No fruit trees are grown within the RoW. The information in respect of number and ownership of the trees by type are summarized in Table – 4.1 and chainage-wise details are provided in Annexure–9.

4.5 LOSS OF STRUCTURES

93. It has been observed that major socio–economic activity is concentrated in the big semi-urban settlements like Kabal and Kanju along the road. People have encroached the FHA’s/government land. In line with the World Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy objectives, the FHA has adopted a strategy to squeeze the project works at the built-up areas within the COI instead of taking the full RoW. The purpose is to minimize the resettlement impacts of the project to the possible extent. According to the final inventory survey of project affected assets, the project will impact 26 structures. These include 16 shops located at Kabal. Aligrama and Kanju areas, of which 13 shops are with severe impacts and need relocation. The other 03


shops will have significant impacts and will not need relocation. The number of affected houses is 08, all are with severe impacts. However, these structures have ample land space for rebuilding and these will not require relocation. For 02 affected boundary walls of residential structures, these will be reconstructed after clearing COI and will not affect the structure of the houses. The information relating to the types, location, number of Affected Households (AHHs), Project Affected Persons (PAPs) and extent of impacts on them is provided in Table – 4.2, whereas the chainage wise information with ownership details is provided in Annexure–10. The Linear Plan / Map for Affected Structures is provided as Annexure-11.

4.6 IMPACT ON INCOME / LIVELIHOOD

94. The project will impact the source of livelihood of 16 shop owners of small business operators at semi-urban areas of Kabal, Aligrama and Kanju. In addition, 05 tenants of shops (small business operators) will also lose their source of livelihood. Of these, 13 business owner operators and 05 tenants will have permanent impacts on their source of livelihood until reestablishment of their businesses in a new location. The 03 owners of shops will have temporary impacts during the construction period. At the semi-urban area of Kabbal, 27 micro road side micro business operators (squatters) will lose their income earnings for the period of construction of road at that location. These are vulnerable and cannot bear such shock to their income earning source. They have been provided with livelihood allowance and additional compensation for being vulnerable. The 04 AHHs losing trees and 31 AHHs losing cropping area will have minor impacts on the household income.

4.7 RELOCATION DUE TO SIGNIFICANT OR SEVERE IMPACT ON STRUCTURES:

95. The numbers of structures with severe impacts come to 21. These include 13 business structures (shops) and 08 residential structures (houses). The business structures will need relocation and the owners have been provided with self relocation allowance to this effect. As far as houses are concerned, they do not require relocation as the owners of these structures own sufficient adjacent land to rebuild the structure. For this purpose, they have been provided compensation of the affected structures at replacement cost basis.

4.8 INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

96. No indigenous people are residing in the project area.

4.9 ARCHEOLOGICAL, HISTORICAL AND RELIGIOUS SITES

97. No archaeological and historical sites were found in the vicinity of proposed project corridor.

4.10 PUBLIC UTILITIES WITHIN ROW

98. No public infrastructure i.e. schools, hospitals, offices, etc. fall within RoW. However, 100 electric poles and 52 telephone poles fall within the RoW and will be relocated by their respective Peshawar Electric Supply Corporation (PESCO) and Pakistan Tele-Communication Private Ltd (PTCL) respectively, budgetary provisions for this relocation activity have been made in the Project costs.

4.11 OCCUPATIONS, INCOME STATUS AND VULNERABLITY OF THE AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS

99. The main categories of PAPs identified along the project corridor are encroachers carrying on different types of business activities. The survey has revealed that agriculture is the major occupation. However, 32% of the AHHs substantiate their livelihood by working in some other occupation along with practicing agriculture. The number of AHHs dependent on single


source of earning comes to 38%. In the main business centers of Kabbal, 27 squatters (30 percent of the total AHHs) are also identified earning their livelihood. The income status of the PAPs on per capita basis is provided in Table – 4.3.

100. The income status of the PAPs was related to the official poverty line (OPL). The OPL of Rs. 879 per capita / month were estimated by the government in 2004–2005 (Pakistan Economic Survey, 2005–06, Table 41). The latest estimate of inflation–adjusted poverty line per capita per month comes to Rs. 1734.52 in 2011. The analysis indicates that all categories of the PAPs are earning higher than the OPL, except the PAPs earning their income by working as labourers and squatters who fall below the poverty line. Hence, they are considered as vulnerable, 28 household of such vulnerability identified in the COI, these are the business squatters. They will be entitled to the severe impact and vulnerability allowances, in addition to income restoration allowance and other admissible allowances as per provisions given in the Entitlement Matrix. It is hoped that the project activities in the area will help in generating enhanced employment opportunities, particularly for the un–skilled workers in its construction stage and increased business opportunities particularly for the squatters during its construction stage. 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 vulnerable groups.

CHAPTER – 5

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

5.1 GENERAL

101. The analysis of alternatives in respect of ERRP “Sharifabad–Kanju Road” improvement works provides a rationale for the project. In this context, an overview of the alternatives that have been considered in respect of transportation means, route alignment, and design parameters has been made. The following options are considered in the analysis.

♦ No Project Option ♦ Alternative Transport Option ♦ Alternative Highway Option ♦ Alternative Design Options

5.2 NO–PROJECT OPTION

102. The PHS–03 (Chakdara–Madyan) road is an important link on the right bank of Swat River between the conflict hit areas with the cities of Mangora and Saidu Sharif. Under the present conditions the road is badly damaged due to conflicts and rehabilitation and restoration activities in these areas mainly depend on the efficient means of communications. Provision of an improved road is necessary for rehabilitation / development operations. There are many other factors that will justify for the improvement of this road. The rapid rise in the demand for land transport in Swat Valley both for passengers and freight as a result of increased socioeconomic activities necessitates the improvement of road links. The project road is the only link for the remotest areas on the right bank of river Swat with Mangora, the district headquarters of Swat. The width of existing road is about 4.5 m to 6.5 m and traveling on this road is very difficult due to speed restrictions under present conditions. No quick rescue operations are available. During public consultations, communities residing along the road highly appreciated the road improvement / rehabilitation project and requested to complete its rehabilitation and improvement as soon as possible. In the light of this, the no–project option is not desirable as it would impede national economic growth, contribute to socioeconomic degradation of the area and lead to deteriorating road safety conditions.

5.3 ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT OPTIONS

103. In Swat Valley, roads are the only mode of transportation. Due to very rugged and high mountainous topography of the area with narrow valleys, development of railway tracks is very difficult and uneconomical. So there is no railway system exists in Swat. The nearest air links are Islamabad and Peshawar which are at about 4–6 hours drive from the project area. Similarly, although river Swat runs along the entire project route, but narrow width of the river at places, steep slopes and consequently high velocity of flows, rocky outcrops in the river bed hinder the development of navigational facilities.


104. In the light of above discussions in respect of other means of transportation like railway, air and navigation, the only economically feasible and preferable investment potential remains the improvement of existing roads network.

5.4 DESIGN ALTERNATIVES

105. Design–related alternatives considered include the route, alignment, cross–section, and public amenities. These are discussed below:

5.4.1 Change No of Sections Onwards to Route Alternatives

106. The existing project route has its importance not only from socioeconomic point of view for the people residing in the remotest areas of the Swat Valley but also strategically for the reason that it provides a link with district headquarters on the right bank of Swat River. As mentioned above, demarcating an alternative route would require vast amounts of land acquisition, disruption of rural communities and presently established natural and agro–ecosystems resulting in further environmental and social degradation.

5.4.2 Alignment Alternatives

107. The horizontal and vertical alignment of the road will be improved as part of the rehabilitation and widening works. The objectives will be to improve sight distance, eliminate sharp corners, and reduce steep grades, thereby improving road safety and transport efficiency. The road improvements will minimize the adverse effects on existing properties.

5.4.3 Alternatives for Public Amenities

108. Public transport amenities, such as crossing ramps, passenger sheds and signboards have been incorporated in the design where required especially near main settlements.

5.4.4 Alternative Option for Minimizing the Resettlement Impacts

109. To identify the impacts of the proposed improvement works on the people and their assets, an initial Due Diligence Study was carried out by FHA taking into consideration the full RoW width. During this study, it was assessed that private land of 30 kanals (1.52 hectare) needed in rural areas, to improve the curves of the road, and a large number of structures (158 shops, 46 houses, 01 mosque, 38 boundary walls of small businesses/ residential houses and 02 graveyards) were coming under the project impacts at built–up areas, if same widening strategy is adopted throughout the length of the section.

110. A due consideration was given to the identified resettlement impacts and measures were considered to avoid and minimize these impacts without compromising on the objectives of the project and width of the road. Accordingly, in order to avoid acquisition of private land in rural areas for improvement of the road curves and to minimize the disruption of structures and resettlement issues, the FHA decided to squeeze the project works to the available COI of 10 m at built up areas. As a result of this strategy, the resettlement impacts have been reduced considerably and now the number of affected structures comes to 26, according to the final


Census Survey conducted during July 2011. The acquisition of private land avoided and many shops, houses, boundary walls, two mosques and 39 graves of 2 graveyards have been saved. The comparison between the impacts of initial design and final design is given in Table - 5.1 below :

5.5 CONCLUSIONS

111. In the light of above discussions in respect of other means of transportation like railway, air and navigation, it is concluded that improvement / rehabilitation of the existing road rout is the only viable option from socioeconomic considerations. The works will be accommodated within the available COI at built up areas. At locations where the minimum requisite road width is not available, the structures will be removed to clear the COI. By adopting this approach, the resettlement issues are minimized as per World Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy 4.12.


CHAPTER – 6

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION, CONSULTATION, PARTICIPATION AND DISCLOSURE

6.1 GENERAL

112. The overall purpose of the consultation process is to disseminate project information and to incorporate PAPs' views into the RAP preparation and implementation. The specific aims of conducting the public consultations are to:

6.4 OUTCOME OF STAKEHOLDERS CONSULTATION

117. Generally, people were found to be aware of the need to rehabilitate / upgrade this Provincial Highway, and expressed their support for the FHA. The proposed improvement of the additional carriageway was welcomed by the people since it will reduce traffic congestion and other road hazards near settlements along the project corridor. Local communities demanded that they should be a part of a continuous consultation process with other stakeholders at different stages of the project including the design, construction, and operation periods. The participants were appraised about the FHA policy for the improvement of this road. They were told that FHA owns 50 feet wide RoW from the center line of the existing road. The FHA will


utilize full RoW of the road at sections where road passes through rural areas. However, at semi-urban areas like Kabbal, Aligrama and Kanju, the road improvement works will adjust within the available width of the road. At such locations, the availability of minimum required width of 10m will be ensured and any structure falling within this requirement will be demolished and the owner of the structure will be compensated according to the extent of damage to the structure at current 2011 rates. They were appraised that the project is being financed through funding from the World Bank and it is the policy of the Bank to pay compensation to every affected person before the start of project works. The participants welcomed the FHA’s and road improvement efforts and the World Bank policy of compensation.

6.4.1 Social and Resettlement Related Concerns Raised by the PAPs

118. The major concerns raised during the consultations are (i) adequacy and timely payment of compensation, (ii) employment opportunity for local population during construction activities, safe and free mobility of locals especially women and children as well as safety measures to be taken during construction activities. The PAPs concerns and suggestions have been incorporated in the RAP and will be implemented as an integral part of the project activities. On the basis of these sessions and meetings, and the provisions of the ESSAF and the WB Policy 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement.

119. Responses of local communities / PAPs regarding project perception and resettlement related matters and action undertaken in the RAP summarized in the Table – 6.2 below:

♦ A drain has been designed at the urban locations of Kabbal, Aligrama and Kanju to cater for the road drainage.

6.4.4 Consultation with Local Women

121. In Swat district, several cultural and economic obstacles exist for women’s participation in consultation and decision making. This is compounded by constraints on mobility and limited interaction. To made effective consultations separately with women, female enumerators were engaged to conduct these consultations. The women of the area were keenly interested in the consultations and provided good information. These included housewives, students, and teachers. As far as education is concerned, the majority of them were illiterate. Most of them belonged to poor families and were reportedly living in small houses. The women unanimously supported the improvement of road by FHA.

♦ Most of the women demanded proper compensation, rehabilitation and assistance for the losses to their spouses businesses due to road works.

♦ The loss of income of their household due to the relocation of affected business structures (of their spouses) will have a negative effect on their normal family living.

♦ Risk to safety, security and privacy will be increased due to outsiders, working in construction works.

♦ The concerns / issues raised by the women as well as by other stakeholders have been adequately considered in the design of the project and compensation packages for the various categories of the PAPs. Details of the Public Consultations are provided in


Annexure–12. The project will engage local female social staff through local community organizations to ensure on-going consultations with women, to address their issues and ensure that women are equally benefitted from the project. During the implementation of the RAP, the FHA will take into account the women views and priorities as a result of planned consultations.

6.4.5 Consultation with Local Community Organizations

122. There exist 07 Community Organizations in the project area. Consultations with these COs revealed that they are in favour of road improvement project. However, they demanded that the road should be constructed with the active involvement of local people. They were told that their concerns are/will be well taken and location specific Affected Person Committees (APCs) have been formed for this purpose. They welcomed the action on the part of FHA. A list of COs consulted, along with their focal persons are provided as follows :

6.5 CONSULTATION STRATEGY DURING IMPLEMENTATION STAGE

123. A continued process of keeping the stakeholders informed and receiving their feedback at various stages of project implementation will provide a good measure to improve the social acceptability of the project, on one hand and will ensure effective participation of the stakeholders especially Project Affected Persons in the process of project implementation.

124. As per the requirement of the Bank’s OP–4.12 the following strategy for public consultation during the implementation of the project work is delineated.

♦ The FHA through its FIU and the Supervision Consultants and Resettlement Specialist (consultant) and a female staff will keep a close liaison with the stakeholders including


women especially with PAPs and record their views relating to the satisfactory implementation of project works. Such records of public concerns will be incorporated in the Monthly Progress Reports (MPRs) of the project on regular basis.

♦ Any mitigation measure to address their concerns will be taken by the project authorities in accordance with the RAP and will also be given in MPRs.

6.6 FORMATION OF PROJECT AFFECTED PERSON COMMITTEES

125. The 2 location specific Affected Person Committees (APCs) were formed, at the Section 2 and 5 where resettlement impacts will occur, with the active involvement of PAPs during the public consultations process. The details of these committees are provided in Annexure–13 and 14.

(a) Project Affected Persons Committee (APC) – from Sharifabad to Kabal (Section 2) (b) Project Affected Persons Committee (APC) – from Kabal to Kanju (Section 5)

6.7 DISCLOSURE, ALREADY DONE, AND PROCEDURES FOR FUTURE DISCLOSURE

126. The document has been prepared under the provisions of the prevailing country laws, the World Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy (OP/BP 4.12) and OP/BP Policy 12.04 on Involuntary Resettlement and Public Disclosure. The broader principles defined in Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF) also followed The ESSAF specifies the environmental and social assessment requirements the implementing agency will need to fulfill before any Project under the MDTF can be implemented. The Framework also describes the generic environmental/social monitoring and reporting requirements to be fulfilled during the Project implementation, in addition to defining the broad institutional arrangements required for environmental and social safeguard aspects associated with the individual projects under the MDTF. The ESSAF has been shared with the FHA and it has been disclosed locally by the FHA on Communication and Works (C&W) Department website on May 17, 2011.

127. The draft RAP, having summary of the Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy and principles, will be disclosed by the FHA on its website. It will be shared with the PAPs through APCs and local Community Organizations (COs), in location specific meetings. After clearance of RAP by the Bank, the FHA shall again disclose it on its website, translate it into Urdu and share a copy of it with Project Affected Person Committees. A summary of RAP will be shared with each affected House Hold (AHH) through registered mail in the form of an Information Brochure in Urdu language. Final RAP will also be shared with other government agencies involve in the resettlement and local COs. The information pamphlet in English is attached as Annexure–15, but it will be translated into Urdu soon after the clearance of RAP by the Bank.


CHAPTER – 7

PROJECT IMPACTS, SOCIAL RISKS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

7.1 GENERAL

128. This chapter identifies the potential socioeconomic impacts due to the improvement / rehabilitation works on “Sharifabad – Kanju Road” of ERRP. The measures for mitigation of adverse impacts and enhancing the benefits are also provided.

7.2 DELINEATION OF PROJECT CORRIDOR OF IMPACT

129. Before proceeding to the impacts of the project, it is imperative to delineate the area of project influence. In spite of the fact that major construction activities of the project will remain confined within 12 m limit; the work area limit may extend up to full width of the proposed ROW of 15 m for the works that include maintaining the desired side slope, implementing slope protection works and providing construction activities.

130. There are some areas where construction–related activities will extend outside the proposed ROW, temporarily during construction. These will include areas required for :

♦ Establishment of construction camps and erection of asphalt plants on temporarily acquired land;

♦ Borrowing soil material from temporarily acquired land;

♦ Quarrying aggregate material; and

♦ Construction of haul–tracks for transportation of construction material, etc.

131. Besides the directly impacted areas referred above, the construction–related and subsequently traffic–borne noise and air pollution may influence areas at large distances from the highway. Therefore, it is hard to delimit the Corridor of Impact (COI). It varies with the activity or impact to be considered. The project construction as well as operation activities will have a variety of direct and indirect effects on the human resources of the project area and its social environ. In this context, the COI is the width for the actual construction of the road including the carriageway, shoulder, embankment, longitudinal drainage, wayside amenities like bus stops, passenger shed, etc., and additional necessary safety zone. Depending upon the direct and indirect impacts, the COI would be of two types, i.e., one taken in consideration of resettlement and the other on the basis of environmental aspects. These are referred to as COI–1 and COI–2, respectively. The definitions of these two are as follows:

COI–1

132. COI–1 is a limit where the direct impacts of the road construction activities are envisaged on the land resources and physical infrastructure thereon. This limit has been taken up to entire 15 m width of the available ROW.


COI–2

133. Fixing of the COI–2 limit is again a difficult subject. This is because the secondary effects are dependent on many factors relating to the environmental settings, type of resources, and the project–related parameters. Even nighttime noise–levels may be disturbing to the people of the area. Similarly, it may enhance the benefits of recreation sites due to increase in the number of visitors. To depict the socioeconomic impacts of the project, the district Swat as a whole has been considered as COI–2.

7.3 SUMMARY OF PROJECT IMPACTS

134. The project impacts in terms of loss of structures and other assets have been discussed in detail in Chapter-4 in detail. A summary of these impacts is provided in Table – 7.1.

7.4 CRITERIA FOR IMPACT SCALING

135. The following factors were taken into consideration for the assessment of impacts relating to various socioeconomic issues.

(a) Nature, magnitude or degree of impact whether the impact is of temporary or permanent nature

(b) Extent of impact on development work (c) Time or duration and / or frequency of the impact (d) Probability of likelihood of the impact occurrence (e) Importance or sensitivity of the impact

136. The impact of each social issue was weighted by applying the following social impact scaling; the positive major denotes that the impact will be permanently beneficial whereas the negative major denoted the irreversible nature of an impact. The positive (+) moderate means that the impact will prevail during a short span of time. The minor impact is of temporary nature. The (+) and (-) signs signify the extent of an impact in positive or negative directions.

CHAPTER – 8

SOCIOECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT AREA AND PAPS

8.1 GENERAL

138. The main aim of the project is uplift of the area and bringing it to the pre–conflict levels. The proposed project will be helpful to alleviate the poverty in the area as described under :

(a) The project will provide an efficient link to the remote areas.

(b) Access to health facilities will improve.

(c) Access to educational facilities will improve because of improve communication and enhanced incomes.

(d) Due to increased access to social services and employment opportunities the living standard local population will raise.

(e) Business activities in project area will increase due to increased visitors and traffic.

139. This chapter provides the baseline information relating to the socioeconomic assessment of the project affected people and project area. Information has been obtained from the available published sources, field surveys in the project area, consultations with the stakeholders; and information obtained through visits to the government departments and other agencies.

8.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AREA

140. The project area falls in Kabal Tehsil, district Swat of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province. The proposed road being taken up for rehabilitation & up–gradation is part of the Swat Package by Govt. of Pakistan, Foreign Donors and Government of KPK; which primarily focuses on the improvement and up gradation of infrastructure of Swat Valley after conflict. The length of the project road is 10.5 km, starting from village Sharifabad up to Kanju town (from chainage 30+424 to 40+924 of PHS–03 Chakdarra-Madyan Road). The road runs almost parallel to River Swat on its right bank. Due to conflict in the area, the road had suffered badly and required rehabilitation, reconstruction and improvement. The World Bank has taken the project as emergency operation under MTDF. The project will be implemented by Frontier Highways Authority (FHA).

8.2.1 Administrative and Socio–Political Setup

141. Under the new system of Local Government Ordinance 2001 (LGO 2001) introduced by the Government of Pakistan, Nazim is selected as head of the administrative setup at all three tiers i.e. Union Council, Tehsil Council and District Council. This administrative system also exists in the Project Area.


142. The administrative set up consists of District Coordination Officer (DCO). The people’s participation in the political process is ensured through the elected institutions of District Council, Tehsil Councils and Union Councils. District Swat is sub divided in 06 tehsils, Berikot, Charbagh, Kabal, Khwaz Khela, Behrain and Matta5. As the elections for local bodies have not been held for the last many years, the Government has appointed Administrators in each tehsil in the absence of elected representatives to run the matters.

8.2.2 Ethnic Clans

143. Citizens from a variety of ethnicities may be found in the Swat district and in the project corridor, as well, including Pakhtuns (mainly of the Yousafzai clan), Kohistanis (of Dardic descent) and Gujjars. These groups are widely known to be brave, independent, hospitable and generous.

8.2.3 Religion

144. The predominant religion in Swat is Islam, with 99.67% of the people. A negligible proportion of the population belongs to other religions, including Christianity, Hinduism, Qadiani / Ahmadi.

8.2.4 Language

145. Pushto is the predominant language of the Project Area. About 95% population use to talk in Pushto. Other language being spoken or understood is Hindko. Urdu and English are also widely used among the more educated segment of the local population.

8.2.5 Family Life

146. People along the project corridor live in joint and shared families. Mostly people live with parents and brothers. The family life has the following forms:

8.2.6 Joint Families

147. Families live in a shared house and share all productive resources such as land, crops, trees and cattle. The internal domestic management and arrangements are in the hands of the oldest woman of the family. She can be either a grandmother or wife of an elder brother. The external matters are dealt by the head of the household, a man either grandfather or elder brother.

8.2.7 Shared Families

148. Families live in a compound or separate houses in a compound but share resources like utensils, furniture, guest room and arms. Usually this situation is a transition from a joint family to a nuclear family.

5. DCO Office, Swat.


8.2.8 Marriages

149. The marriages are arranged in very early age. The main reason explained by the respondents was the lack of education and strict bindings of the local people with their traditions. People get married within the family as first choice. Girls are rarely brought from outside the family but not given to other clans. Women are not given inheritance by parents and mostly in–laws pay an amount for the girl as dowry before marriage. Polygamy is common among male; there is no restriction for marrying a second woman if the couple does not have male child. Similarly, there is no restriction to marry a second woman even if she is widow of a brother.

8.2.9 Social Organization

150. The social organization revolves around autonomous Khel (i.e. lineage which is now called caste) wherein all people are blood related and a link from ten to twelve generations makes one Khel. Organizationally up to this extent, the people physically or financially help each other much more and they stay united against any type of threats. Usually the elders constitute Jirga (council of elders) which decides the issues and keep the tribe unite. Khans (members of Jirga) are not nominated by government or state but the community recognizes a person as its Malik. Local people define a Malik as a person who dedicates himself for community services and gets recognized by the fellow community members and the government agencies. The main roles and responsibilities of a Malik are to resolve the conflicts and disputes within the community and representation of the community in a Jirga or at other social platforms.

8.2.10 Conflicts Resolution Mechanism and Laws

151. The conflicts in Swat District are resolved through following three mechanisms:

(a) Traditional Jirga (Customary Laws): Traditional jirga system is effective in the area especially in the matters of disputes among the tribes. In such a case Khans of tribes constitute a jirga to resolve the issues. If a dispute arises within the tribes or among the sub tribes, the elders of sub tribe get together under the leadership of a senior Malik and resolve the issues.

(b) Sharia Laws (Islamic Jurisprudence): Islamic Jurisprudence or Shariah Laws have also been enforced in Malaknd agency including Swat district since 1994 after the movement for imposition of sharia laws. A Qazi court is functional at Saidu Sharif which is dealing with the cases referred to it. Mostly the cases of inheritance, family laws and social disputes are settled according to Sharia Laws.

(c) Statutory Laws: The project area is a “settled area” where provincial and federal statutory laws apply. Under this law, the cases are registered at police stations, if laws of the country are violated. Once a case is registered the legal course takes place through normal courts starting from civil court, District and Session court, a bench of Peshawar High Court in Abbottabad to Peshawar Registry of Supreme Court.


8.3 ECONOMIC BASE AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN SWAT DISTRICT

8.3.1 Economic Base

152. An overview of the existing economic base and development opportunities in district Swat is provided as follows :

8.3.2 Industries

153. According to information obtained from the Directorate of Industries, Commerce and Labour, KP province, Peshawar, a declining trend of industrial development and commerce has been witnessed in Swat. This is due to the fact that the area has been under severe conflicts and law and order situation was not conducive for investment. There were 290 industrial units in Swat in 2006, which have reduced to 225 in 2008–09. Now, after the normalization, the situation of law and order in the valley has considerably improved and it is hoped that industrial development will take place at a faster rate.

8.3.3 Irrigation

154. There is no prominent canal in the entire Swat District. However, the main sources of irrigation in the district are small civil water courses derived from Swat River and springs and the water for irrigation is supplied through these small water courses.

8.3.4 Mining Resources

155. The mountains and lands of Swat are generously bestowed with natural resources such as china clay, dolomite, granite, marble and precious and semi–precious stones. Most of this, however, remains unharnessed due to politico–administrative reasons. People at local level are busy in the mining of these resources. Such mining activities provided sources of income in the Project area. Rehabilitation of proposed road will also enhance the possibilities of exploration of these mineral resources as good accessibility is the pre–requisite for development of mineral resources.

8.3.5 Land Use and Agriculture

156. Swat district has reported area of 537 thousand ha, of which, 56 thousand ha are designated as cultivated area. The irrigated area is 92000 ha and comes to 94% of the cultivated area. Agriculture accounts for roughly 50% of the economic activities of district Swat, the major source of income for much of the rural population. The main agricultural crops are maize, wheat, vegetables, fodder and orchards. Another major land use is grazing. Residential units also cover a small fraction of the area. Cultivated land is mainly found in the south–lying regions of Mingora, Barikot, Matta, Kabal, Kanju and Khwazakhela, as the northern part of the district is mostly mountainous terrain. The Swat River is the main source of irrigation, funneling water to most regions through community and government–built channels. The land utilization statistics of District Swat for the year 2007–2008 is provided in Table – 8.1.

8.3.6 Forestry

157. Forests cover about 27% of the total area of Swat District. According to data provided by the Chief Conservator of Forests, Peshawar, total forest cover in Swat was 136705 hectares as of 2007–2008, comprising mostly of pine varieties such as kail, fir, spruce and chir. This area is divided into resumed land (spread out over 92864 ha), private plantations (43746 ha) and miscellaneous categories (96 ha). Forestry is the major source of income of the area. An area, which is difficult to cultivate for agriculture, is normally under use of forests. These forests not only a source to reduce soil erosion and land sliding, but also a major source of income by producing timber and firewood.

8.3.7 Trade and Trade Centers

158. The biggest trading centre of the Project area is at Mangora (about 10 Km. from the Project area). All edible and non–edible items are being brought from Punjab and districts of Mardan and Peshawer which are further supplied to the interior areas of this district.

8.3.8 Education

159. As of 1998, Swat’s literacy ratio was 28.75% of the population, 43.16% of which was represented by males and 13.45% by females. The literacy ratios for Swat by sex and by rural / urban regions, for the censuses of 1981 and 1998, are given in the Table –8.2.

8.3.9 Electricity and Telephone Facilities

160. WAPDA has provided electricity only at main towns. The other small towns / settlements along the project corridor have been provided electricity by installing small hydropower plants by private investors and they are provide electricity to locals at the rate of Rs. 30 per tube light per month. This electricity is mainly being used for lightening of houses. The landline telephone facility along the project corridor is not available at present as all the installations were destroyed in the conflict. The mobile phone facility from different companies is available in the project area.

8.3.10 Transportation and Accessibility

161. Swat is easily accessible by road from Peshawar and Islamabad. The main road link to the district is via Mardan and Malakand Pass, while the main intra–district artery is Mingora–Kalam Road. The Works and Services Department (WSD) of the NWFP Government classify roads in high type (blacktopped) and low type (shingled road). According to the data from Chief Engineer, WSD Peshawar, total roads in district Swat were of 634.100 Km. length, out of which 582.510 Km. roads were high type roads and rest (51.490 Km.) were low type roads. In addition to this, a number of pacca and katcha tracks off take from this road and led to a number of villages and settlements. Major mode of transportation in the Project area includes Motorcycles, Minibuses, Cars, Vans, Jeeps, Tractor Trolleys, Passenger Buses and Trucks. Heavy traffic is nominal in the Project Area due to non–existence of reliable road. Out of all these transportation modes, mainly jeeps, cars and vans are used to travel along selected road section.

8.3.11 Fuel and Energy

162. In rural areas 90% of the population uses fuel wood, agricultural waste or dried cow dung of the cattle. Eight percent of village inhabitants use gas cylinders while 2% use kerosene oil stoves. Petrol pumps exist along the road to fulfill the energy requirements of the area.

8.4.7 Education Facilities

172. The project area lacks educational facilities. The institutions for primary and middle level education seem functioning satisfactorily but these need to be increased in numbers particularly for girl students. The high school level education facilities are available only for boys, however, insufficient at the same time. The male students avail these meager educational facilities but the female students remain deprived in this respect. They have no option of getting education beyond Class VIII. This is making negative repercussions on the economy of the area. The Taliban has caused an irreparable loss to the educational infrastructure and almost all the girls’ schools and most of the boys schools have been damaged by them. The information collected from the Education Department of Swat district in respect of educational facilities in the settlements / villages along the project corridor is depicted in Table – 8.8.

8.4.8 Health Facilities

173. As far as the settlements along the selected reach of the road are concerned, these lack health facilities. There is only one civil hospital in the project area. The other health facilities (institutions) in the project corridor includes 02 Civil Dispensary, 01 Rural Health Centre (RHC), 01 Mother Child Health Care Centre (MCH), 04 Basic Health Units (BHUs) and 01 Leprosy Clinic. On average, there is one health facility for every 9329 individuals in the project corridor and signifies as inadequate by general health care standards. The situation is even worst in case of women living in the rural areas. Absence of any maternity home or female doctor or nurse in these villages results into complications for female patients. Similarly, the patients have to go to other big cities like Mangora, Mardan, Peshawer, Abbottabad, etc. in case of emergencies. But on the other hand, transport facilities for shifting patients to cities in case of emergency are also lacking. The improvement / construction of road will surely help in solving the health related problems particularly the women related.

8.4.9 Industry and Trade

174. Along the project corridor, industrial activity is found. The major industrial units include silk mills, marble factories, concrete blocks factories and stone crushing units. In addition, small saw mill units and bee keeping is found at many locations. It is expected that with the


improvement of road, these activates will increase due to the efficient access to the major cities. The number of main industrial units along the project corridor is provided in Table – 8.9.

175. Kabal and Kanju (main towns lying along the project corridor) are the main trade centers. Trading in the area also take place from Mangora, which is a big trade centre for vegetable ghee, oils, toilet & washing soaps, bedding cloth, and other items of daily use, etc. Mangora is about 10 Km. away from Kabal and 05 Km. from Kanju. Petrol pumps are also one of the main trading activities.

8.4.10 Link Roads

176. Following are the main link roads which join the project road:

(a) Near Km. 28+000 about 2.5 Km. before Sharifabad, a road from Ziarat and Suigally meets with the Chakdara – Kanju Road.

(b) At Km. 30+000, a road connects the Gaarhi village with project road.

(c) At Km. 32+500, a road from Kotlai ends at project road which is at a distance of about 4 Km.

(d) At Km. 35+000, Kabal Chowk a main road bifurcates from project road which connects Shahderai with Kabal, Kanju, Mingora and other places of Swat.

(e) At Km. 40+500, just 500 before the Kanju, a road originate at left side to connect to Kanju Township.

(f) At Km. 40+924, End Point of this Package, is a link road connecting Kanju with Mingora city and Saidu Sharif through Ayyub Bridge.

(g) Thorough road, also known as Airport Road, extend towards Bara Bandai, Matta, Bagh Dheri and onward to Madyan.

8.5 SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE POPULATION ALONG THE PROJECT CORRIDOR

177. As explained in Chapter – 3, village profile and socio–economic surveys were conducted to have a glimpse on the overall socioeconomic profile of the people of project corridor. A sample of 45 respondents was randomly selected. The results of the surveys are given as follows :

However, the average household size is somewhat different as compared with the census data. This may be due to the fact that in the recent past, large scale migration of the people from these areas took place. Data provide a slightly better picture as compared with the updated 1998 Census figure of the project area. According to the census figures, the average family size was 9.84 persons in these villages / settlements.

8.5.2 Education Level

179. The literacy rate of the sample population comes to 57%. Out of total 115 literate persons, 18% possess primary level education, 12% middle level and 11% matriculate level education. The population having education above matriculation level works out as only 16%. Of these, respondents possessing Intermediate level were 11%.

(d) All social services will improve and living standard will rise.

(e) Business activities in the project area will increase due to increased visitors and traffic.

8.5.9 Gender and Development

187. Like rest of the Pakistan, the social and cultural context of the society of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province 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 honor and institution of purdah in Pakistan. In the cultural context of Pakistan, women’s wage work is considered a threat to the male ego and identity. But on the other hand, women constitute about 51% 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.

188. 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. Social status of women is not better.


They have not equal rights in legacy and greater say in the routine life matters. Women of the area are in quite miserable condition due to the lack of basic amenities and limited opportunities for economic growth like girl’s high school, maternity hospital, vocational training centre etc.

8.5.10 Women Role in Socio–economic Activities

189. The survey has revealed that participation rate of women in various household level activities in the project corridor is generally high, about 100% in case of household activities and child caring. They have no participation in the farm activities and local representation. Their participation rate in case of property matters, social obligations stood at 04% and 41%, respectively.

190. As far as decision making for different activities is concerned, their involvement in case of child caring matters was the highest, about 47%, followed by 38% in case of household activities. In case of property matters and social obligations, the decision making rested with the women to the extent of 04% and 37%, respectively. Information in respect of women participation and decision making in the routine socio–economic life is presented in Table – 8.14.

8.5.11 Conflict Resolution Mechanism in the Project Area

191. Generally, local disputes are settled through jirga (council of elders). This is an informal but well organized conflict resolving social institution at local level. At present this system has been regularized in the prevailing local bodies system. Yet most of the conflicts and disputes are being settled through local jirga. No Jirga exist on permanent basis in the project area. It is convened on need basis, in case of issues that needs to be resolved. According to the Jirga mechanism, the influential of the area, a community representative, an elderly, local religious leader, play their role to resolve the reported disputes / conflicts with mutual consensus, after hearing the aggrieved parties. If party / parties are not satisfied with the decision of the Jirga, they are free to lodge complaint to police station or court of law. Generally, the people prefer to


settle their disputes through the Jirga to avoid long enmity, wastage of time and money. As reported by the respondents, the decision of jirga is respected by all the parties in 80% of the cases. Sometimes, unresolved issues are referred to the local political influential.

8.5.12 Community Organizations in the Project Corridor

192. The people residing along the project corridor are of cooperative nature and ready to help each other. For this purpose, they have organized themselves in small scale welfare organizations. The survey has revealed that presently, there exist 07 such Community Organizations (COs). These COs collaborate with the government agencies / NGOs and provide services in the area for the enhancement of educational facilities, technical skills such as computer learning and providing agriculture inputs to the small farmers. A list of such CSOs is provided is provided in Table – 6.2 of Chapter 6.

All PAPs must bring their original NIC and a copy of it at the time of receiving cheques. If a PAP is below 18 years or does not have NIC, then he/she should provide an affidavit with photograph duly attested/ signed by the head of local government and finally identification of the PAP will be verified by minimum 2 members of the relevant APC.

202. Payment of Compensation: Payment to PAPs will be paid in 03 months, keeping in view the total strength of PAPs for which a schedule will be issued separately on clearance of RAP; payment will be paid through cross cheques.

203. Vacation of Site: Notices will be issued to the AHHs to receive the compensation cheques with time schedule and venue and a vacation notice to vacate the site within 6 months, as a result of 6 months advance notice. If an AAP/AHH will not vacate the ROW after getting payment of compensation according to the given schedule, the Resettlement Specialist will submit an application to the GRC.

205. Absentee AHHs / PAPs: So far two absentee AHHs have been identified. They have reportedly shifted to Karachi during the conflict period and they periodically visit their homes. However, if there will be any PAP(s) found missing in the future, the PMU will make all possible efforts to contact/access to him/her. If not possible then FHA will issue 3 consecutive official notices and a public notice in local newspaper informing the PAP to contact the PMU for payment.

206. For this purpose, PMU will deposit the entitled amounts in an escrow account for those AHHs and the absentee AHHs until the project completion period or until all APs receive payments within the project period. If not, then money will be deposited with government treasury by the FHA.

207. Payment of compensation will be made before 06 months prior to the actual possession of the ROW. No ROW will be possessed by the FHA or handed over to the Contractor for commencement of construction works without full payment of due compensations to the PAPs except the extraordinary cases. However, in case of a dispute, the assessed/allocated amount of compensation will be pledged in the names of the concerned PAPs. In such cases, the PMU may possess the ROW before payment of compensation and will follow the decision of GRC, in consultation with APCs.

208. The World Bank is responsible for timely provision of finances for RAP implementation from MDTF for the compensations and the PMU will be responsible for administration of RAP implementation.

9.8 BASIS OF RESETTLEMENT COSTS AND UNIT RATES FOR COMPENSATION

213. The unit rates applied in the determining the resettlement costs is elaborated as follows.

9.8.1 Unit Rate for Residential and Business Structures

214. FHA committed to provide compensation of various construction types of structures on the basis of Govt of KPK Composite Schedule Rates (CSR) 2009 Quarter-1 with +8% factor for Swat District (as per Guidelines of NWFP CSR 2009) and +30% premium for inflation per annum. NWFP CSR 2009 is the latest available version whereas a +30 Premium per


annum/year has been applied to take it at par with current (2011) market prices (+20 % Premium being used by Frontier Highways Authority for estimation of civil works). In addition, discussions with the engineers of Communication and Works Department of Swat District were also made besides collecting the information from the affected persons in this respect. The endorsement of these rates by the FHA via letter No. 132/CMRP–2(a)/MDTF/FHA dated 08.08.2011 is provided as Annexure–16. To estimate the replacement value of residential and commercial structures, the assets have been standardized for compensation on an average unit rate per sq. ft. The categories of unit rates are provided in Table – 9.2.

TABLE – 9.2 : STRUCTURES TYPES AND THEIR UNIT RATES

CATEGORY DETAILS RATE/FT²

(RS.)

A Roof = RCC; Walls = Burnt Bricks in Cement Mortar, Cement Plastered; Floor = Concrete 900

B Roof = Steel Girder + T–iron with Wooden Planks; Walls = Burnt Bricks in Cement Mortar, Cement Plastered; Floor = Plain Cement 820

C Roof = Wooden Girder + Wooden Ribs with Wooden Planks; Walls = Stone Masonry in Mud Mortar; Floor = Brick or Stone 600

D Roof = Steel Sheets; Walls = Wooden Planks or Stone Masonry in Mud; Floor = Brick or Stone 350

215. The Census Survey has revealed that 26 structures of various construction types will be affected to various extents due to project works. Total costs for compensation of structures at replacement value works out to be Rs. 55,060,649/–. The details of compensation for structures and other admissible allowances to the owners are provided in Annexure–17. The payments to the structure’s tenants on account of different admissible allowances are given in Annexure-18.

9.8.2 Unit Rate for Wood Trees

216. Data with respect to their type, number, age and ownership was collected during the Census Survey. The survey has revealed that different types of 93 privately owned wood trees of fuel wood will be affected and none of the fruit trees will affect. All the affected trees are mostly at the pole stage with average age ranging between 6–9 years. These will be used as firewood. This information was shared with the Forest Department of Govt of KPK and the owners of private forests. As a result of these discussions / consultations, the average price/ tree determined as Rs. 1,200 /–, (on the basis of average firewood per tree. Average weight of firewood from this size of trees is 03 maunds’ Rs. 400 / maund (400x3) = Rs. 1200 in total per tree. The total compensation for privately owned affected trees worked out to be Rs. 111,600 /–.

9.8.3 Cost of Relocation of Public Utilities

217. Total cost of relocating the public utilities works out to be Rs. 4,280,000/– (Rs. 3,500,000/– for electric poles and Rs. 780,000/– for telephone poles) based on average relocation cost of electric poles and telephones taken from PESCO and PTCL. Actual assessment will be done after 1-2 months period of the clearance of RAP by the Bank.

9.8.4 Compensatory Plantation in lieu of Loss of Forest Department Wood Trees


218. In addition to privately owned trees, 77 governments owned (Forest Department) fuel wood trees will also be affected. For replenishment of these trees, compensatory plantation at 1:5 has been agreed between FHA and the Forest Department. The activity will be carried out by the Forest Department. Further proceedings will be completed by the FHA with the Forest Department after the approval of the RAP. 400 plants will be planted along the road, for which a provision of Rs. 238,000/– has been made in the budget.

9.8.5 Additional Assistance for Vulnerable Households

219. The income analysis of PAPs as provided in Chapter - 4 has revealed that the number of vulnerable households comes to 28. Their incomes are below the OPL, these include 27 squatters of micro businesses at urban stretches and 01 AHH earning his livelihood by growing crops in the RoW land and supplementing his income working as a farm labourer. These people will be deprived of their daily livelihood earnings due to project works. They belong to poor segment of the society and cannot bear the loss of income due to disruption in their daily earnings. Such people are considered as vulnerable. For such households, in addition to the livelihood allowance, an additional one time assistance of Rs. 11,951/– (equal to one month amount of inflation adjusted OPL according to average household size), will be paid. The amount of compensation to be paid on this account comes to be Rs. 334,628/– as per details provided in Table – 9.3.

TABLE – 9.3 : ADDITIONAL ALLOWANCE TO VULNERABLE

Sr. No. Vulnerable HH Number Unit Allowance (Rs.) Total Amount (Rs.)

1 Squatters 27 11,951 322,677

2 Farming Labourer 01 11,951 11,951

TOTAL 58 334,628

9.9 INCOME RESTORATION STRATEGY

220. The project involves rehabilitation, reconstruction and improvement of existing road within the available ROW. All livelihood and income restoration activities will be implemented as given in the entitlement matrix. The following constitutes the income restoration strategy for this project for PAPs who suffer livelihood losses:

(a) Livelihood Allowance: All AHHs whose livelihoods are affected will be supported for their income losses @ Rs. 11,951/- per month. These include owners business operators with severe impacts for 06 months, owners business operators with significant impacts for 03 months, tenant business operators with severe impacts for 06 months, owners of houses for 03 months and squatters for 03 months, as per provisions of Entitlement Matrix. An amount of Rs. 12,527,655 has been allocated in the resettlement budget for payment as livelihood allowance. The detail of these allowances is provided in Annexure–17 and 18 for owners and tenants, respectively.

(b) Severe Impact Allowance: The owners business operators and tenant business operators losing the business on permanent basis till re-establishment of their


businesses will be paid cash compensation (severe impact allowance) for 06 months income based on tax declaration or, if unavailable, based on the inflation adjusted OPL @ Rs. 11,951/– per month, in addition to the compensation for the affected structure, as per provisions of Entitlement Matrix. This will provide them sufficient time for business adjustment at new location. An amount of Rs. 19,815,150 has been provided in the resettlement budget. The detail of these allowances is provided in Annexure–17 and 18 for owners and tenants, respectively.

(c) Project–related Employment: (for unskilled and semi–skilled tasks during construction): severely affected and vulnerable PAPs will be given priority for project–related employment opportunities as drivers, carpenters, masons, clearing and digging work, and if possible, as clerks or basic administration support staff. To this end, the FHA will incorporate such clause in the contracts of the civil works contractors that they will give preference to severely affected and vulnerable PAPs in recruiting personnel, skilled and unskilled labour for project related works.

9.10 RELOCATION STRATEGY

221. FHA has no space available of equal economic importance/ value along the project corridor to accommodate the owners of the affected structures. As a result 13 small business owners/operators and 05 small business tenant have to relocate their businesses/shops to another location in the same vicinity. In view of this limitation, the following relocation strategy has been adopted.

222. For houses having sufficient land to build a new structure with the same premises, full compensation will be given for the total covered area of the structure at replacement value. This will include the provision for the lost covered area. The analysis has revealed that all the 08 affected houses will be adjusted vide this approach and no house will be relocated to some other place. Compensation strategy was discussed in detail with the owners of the affected hoses and they showed their willingness to receive the proposed compensation for the reconstruction of their houses within the same premises. Further, rental assistance for 06 months @ Rs. 4,000/- per month will be paid to facilitate them for hiring the house during construction period. The details of compensation payments for each type of construction along with allowances have been provided in Annexure–17.

223. The owner of the shops with severe (irreversible) impacts will be compensated for the total structure loss at current market prices on the basis of replacement value. They will be facilitated by providing them an amount to be given by them as advance for hiring a shop

according to the prevalent average rate in the project area as security This amount ranges from 50,000/– to 150,000/–, depending on the location of the shop. A provision at Rs. 100,000/– for owners and Rs. 50,000/– for tenants has been made in the EM to this effect. Agreement with the PAPs in this regard are provided in Annexure–19. In addition, they will be paid a severe impact allowance for 6 months. Out of 16, there are 13 shops with major impact and needing relocation. The owner of the 03 shops with significant impacts will be compensated for the affected portion of the shop. In addition, they will be paid a building rehabilitation allowance equal to ½ of the structure compensation.


9.11 RESETTLEMENT BUDGET

224. The cost towards implementation and monitoring of mitigation measures, compensation, training of staff, public consultations, etc. are included in the BOQ as a separate cost item under Resettlement Budget.

225. The resettlement cost for the 10.5 km long Sharifabad–Kanju Road of ERRP is based on the information provided in Chapter – 6 in respect of the project impacts. The total estimated cost of RAP implementation is in PKR is Rs. 18.868 M or USD$ 0.220 M. These include compensations against losses: Rs. 0.111 M for loss of trees, Rs. 0.028 M for affected crops, Rs. 6.345 M for affected structures, Rs. 4.280 M for relocation of public utilities, Rs. 3.561 M for income restoration and rehabilitation allowances to PAPs, Rs. 2.453 M for relocation of PAPs, Rs. 0.238 M for compensatory plantation, Rs. 0.100 M for Training & Capacity Building and Rs. 1.750 M for hiring of a Resettlement Specialist (consultant) and 3rd Party validation of the resettlement plan implementation.

INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS, CAPACITY BUILDING FOR RAP IMPLEMENTATION AND GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM

10.1 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

227. RAP will be implemented under the following institutional arrangements.

10.1.1 Project Management Unit (PMU)

228. FHA is the Implementing Agency of the project. Recently, FHA has established a Project Management Unit (PMU) with a Project Director and other essential staff. The PMU staff will assist the project efforts in the resettlement and rehabilitation activities on timely and efficient manner.

10.1.2 Field Implementation Unit (FIU)

229. FHA has established a ‘Field Implementation Unit’ (FIU) to manage ERRP “Sharifabad–Kanju Road” implementation activities at the field level. The FIU is headed by Deputy Director (North) and supported by Deputy Director (Environment) and Assistant Director (Resettlement). FIU shall be responsible for general administration, handing over of sites to the contractors for construction, coordination with other relevant authorities for timely relocation of various utility services, management of social safeguards and performance monitoring of civil works implementation.

230. The project will hire a Resettlement Specialist (Consultant) to provide support in implementation of RAP under the contract of Construction Supervision Consultant.

10.1.3 Affected Person’s Committees (APCs)

231. Two APCs have been formed along the project corridor. These have been elected by the PAPs. One Committee represents PAPs from Sharifabad to Kabal and the other Kabal to Kanju. The APC from Sharifabad to Kabal have elected their Chairman but the APC from Kabl to Kanju decided to deal the matters collectively with mutual consultation. These committees will assist the resettlement and rehabilitation process and consultations with PAPs to address day–to–day social / resettlement issues due to the project implementation. The APCs will verify the identification of PAPs at the time of compensation payment. The Committees will ensure that after the receipt of compensations, PAPs would vacate the ROW within the specified time indicated by the project in a notice to be given 6-month advance to each PAP/AHH, enabling construction works to begin. The institutional arrangements for RAP implementation are exhibited in Figure – 10.1.

10.2 CAPACITY BUILDING AND TRAINING

232. The FHA lacks expertise at headquarters and field level to implement RAP and address other social issues. Trainings to the FHA, contractor and supervision consultant and relevant staff from other concerned departments will help in enhancing their capabilities to better implement the RAP. The key objective of training program is to ensure that the requirements of the RAP are clearly understood and followed throughout the project implementation. The project works are to start immediately and the staff will be dealing the social and resettlement issues. So to better understand and deal with these issues, the following training / capacity building programme is planned for the project functionaries. Two trainings will be organized, further details are given in Table – 10.1 below :

10.3 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM

233. The social and resettlement issues relating to the implementation of the Project works and their mitigation have been identified in the SIA and RAP document. However, in spite of best efforts, there is every chance that the individuals / communities affected by the project are dissatisfied with the measures adopted to address the adverse social impacts of the project. In this situation an effective Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) has established to ensure timely and successful implementation of the project. It will also provide a public forum to the aggrieved to raise their objections and through conflict resolution, address these issues adequately.

234. The main objective of the GRM is to investigate charges of irregularities and complaints received from the PAPs and provide an early, transparent and fair resolution. Keeping in view the findings of the SIA baseline study, it is anticipated that the nature of such complaints will relate to compensation matters by the project functionaries. Some of the grievances that may arise are listed as follows:


♦ Name of the AP may be missing from the list,

♦ Losses (such as damage to crops) may not identified correctly,

♦ Improper distribution of compensation in case of joint ownership

♦ Problems in the relocation of infrastructure

♦ Delays in the payment of compensation,

♦ Any disruption by the civil works contractors

♦ Non-observance of project principles as lay down in the RAP by different parties.

♦ Any other issue arising during the project implementation.

10.3.1 Grievance Redress Committee (GRC)

235. Under the GRM, a Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will be established at project site, which will look into all the grievance cases related to social, resettlement and rehabilitation. The GRC will include:

♦ Deputy Director (North), FHA, (Chair of the Committee)

♦ Assistant Director (Resettlement), FHA (Member of the Committee)

♦ Resident Engineer of Supervision Consultants (Member of the Committee)

♦ A representative of Supervision Consultants (Member of the Committee)

♦ Resettlement Specialist (consultant)

♦ Two representatives of the Affected Person Committees (APCs) (Members of the Committee), one from each APC.

♦ Two elected representatives of local Jirga (council of elders)

236. AD (Resettlement) will act as Secretary of the Committee. The Committee will meet at least twice a month and provide decision to resolve the issues at the end of the meeting. The non–official members will provide logistics for the committee meetings. The committee may request the complainant to attend and present his case. However, any aggrieved person will have the right to register her/his case for resolution by the court, in case s/he is not satisfied with the decision of GRC.

10.3.2 Complaints Management Register (CMR)

237. The Assistant Director (Resettlement) will maintain a CMR to record grievances brought forward by affected persons and communities, and ensure that these are appropriately addressed. The complaint register will provide for: the date and particulars of the complaint; description of the grievance; follow–up action required; name of person responsible for implementing the action; a target date for redressal and up-dated status/final action with date. The AD will be supported by the Resettlement Specialist of the Construction Supervision Consultant for this purpose. The actual measures taken to mitigate the concerns will also be recorded in the register. The complainant's views on the remedial action taken will also be


documented in the Register. All complaints received verbally or in writing will be properly documented and recorded/written in the CMR.

10.3.3 Conflict Resolution Procedure

238. The AD (Resettlement) will be the initiating authority to address the issues. He will be bound to forward the compliant to the DD (North) within 3 days. The DD (N) will take a decision on the compliant within 3 days on receipt of compliant to him and will inform the complainant through AD (Resettlement). If complainant is not satisfied with his decision / action, the DD (North) will refer the case to GRC. The Committee will review the matter keeping in view its nature and suggest a remedial action within 4 days. If considered necessary, the Committee will consult the complainant as well. Once the Committee decides the remedial action, the AD (Resettlement) with the support of Resettlement Specialist will implement it within a week.

239. In case some response on the complaint is not received within 15 days of the lodging of the complaint, the complainant may also send a reminder to the GRC with 07 days notice to take legal remedial measures.

240. In case of complainant’s disagreement with the decision of the GRC, the DD (North), as Chair of the Committee, will send the case to the PD (ERRP), FHA. The PD will respond within 07 days. The PD can involve the local Jirga, keeping in view the nature and severity of the matter. If the complainant is not satisfied, the complaint will have the option to go to the court of law. In case of such eventualities, all affected persons will be exempted from legal and administrative fees made / paid / incurred pursuant to the grievance redressal procedures. The conflict resolution process at project level is provided in Table – 10.2.

CHAPTER -11

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

11.1 GENERAL

241. The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a mean to check, asses and evaluate the status of project activities on a regular basis. It helps in timely identification, analysis and removal of the bottlenecks at various stages of project implementation and expediting actions. The M&E of the RAP implementation is a tool to serve the interests of the project planners, executors and operation managers, as they share the common concern for timely corrective measures. Specifically, the objectives of the monitoring and evaluation of RAP implementation are: (1) to ensure that the standard of living of PAPs is restored or improved, (2) to monitor whether the time lines are being met, (3) to assess whether compensation, rehabilitation measures are sufficient, (4) to identify problems or potential problems, and (5) to identify methods of responding immediately to mitigate hardships/issues. The M&E activities to ensure the effective implementation of RAP are described as follows.

11.2 INTERNAL MONITORING

242. The internal monitoring of RAP implementation will be the responsibility of the FHA. It will be a continuous activity and will be managed by the Project Director through Deputy Director (North), FHA and Assistant Director (Resettlement). The DD (North) and AD (R) will ensure that the Project functionaries carry out the following activities efficiently and transparently.

(a) Verification of project-affected persons, specifically squatters, on the basis of their national identity card numbers/ photographs, to ensure that only those PAPs recorded before cut-off date are allowed to claim entitlement benefits.

(b) Verification of the public utilities needing relocation. (c) Ensure timely compensation to PAPs in an efficient and transparent manner. (d) Recording compensation payments. (e) Providing income restoration and rehabilitation allowances to the PAPs. (f) Providing relocation assistance to the displaced PAPs. (g) Verifying that the amount to be paid as compensation and the schedule of compensation

is in conformity with the provisions of the Entitlement Matrix. Recording and addressing the concerns of PAPs during and after resettlement.

(h) The internal monitoring system also needs to record the status of the GRM in terms of grievances received and resolved.

243. The Project Director will provide the findings of monitoring activities in the Monthly Progress Reports regularly, under a separate head namely “Implementation of RAP” with details of the issues aroused and the mitigation measures adopted under Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM).

11.3 MONITORING ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\MUHAMMAD SAEED YAQUB\DESKTOP\FROM SAMINA AFTER WB COMMENTS 21-08-11\REPORT.DOC100

244. The role and responsibilities under the M & E plan are described as under:

Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework

I. Introduction

1. A Multi-donor Trust Fund (MDTF) has been established in Pakistan to assist in the reconstruction and livelihood restoration in the conflict-affected areas of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa (KP), the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), and Balochistan. Much of the conflict-affected areas are again impacted by the recent flooding. The MDTF will be keeping, mainly, the focus of its intervention on post crisis while also addressing the response to the recent floods if requested by the Government of Pakistan (GOP).

2. To provide a mechanism to carry out appropriate assessment of environment and social impacts and implement necessary safeguard measures under these emergency operations, an Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF) has been developed, in line with the Bank’s safeguard policies and OP 8.0 for the emergency operations.

II. Overview of MDTF

3. The purpose of the MDTF is to support the implementation of reconstruction and development aimed at facilitating the recovery of the affected regions in KP, FATA, and Balochistan from the impact of the armed conflict and reducing the potential for escalation or resumption. To this end, the MDTF will finance projects intended to: (i) promote enhanced, sustainable and accountable delivery of basic services; (ii) support livelihoods and community-based development of basic infrastructure and services; (iii) help communities to access assets and market opportunities and create the basis for viable income generating activities; and (iv) support peace building activities and promote rapid crisis recovery in KP, FATA and conflict-affected districts of Balochistan; and (v) strengthening, (re)building and/or maintaining government institutions in order to improve governance, the overall institutional performance and state effectiveness.

4. The broad sectoral areas eligible for funding from the MDTF are described below.

Restoring damaged infrastructure and disrupted services, including inter alia: (i) reconstructing health, education and government buildings, and providing equipment and supplies therefore; (ii) restoring damaged infrastructure in the power, transport, water supply, sanitation and irrigation sectors; and (iii) carrying out a program for owner-driven reconstruction or repair of housing damaged during the armed conflict;

Improving local (district and/or union) service delivery, including inter alia: (i) increasing the capacity and accountability of local governments for resource management and service delivery; and (ii) providing basic infrastructure and delivering basic services to low income communities though community-driven development interventions;

Improving provincial governance and service delivery, including, inter alia: (i) strengthening coverage, quality and governance of the education system by: (A) increasing enrolment rates and improving learning outcomes; (B) strengthening

2

administration and operation of schools; and (C) promoting better monitoring and evaluation (accountability) mechanisms; (ii) strengthening the quality of primary and secondary health care services, as well as the stewardship of the heath system; (iii) improving the coverage, targeting, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the social protection system; (iv) strengthening justice service delivery and the rule of law; and (v) strengthening the institutional and technical capabilities of civil administration;

Maintaining and/or reinforcing livelihoods of local communities through increased access to productive assets and market opportunities in order to facilitate income generating activities, including inter alia: (i) augmenting and/or recovering lost livestock; (ii) providing agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and seeds, and/or preparing land plots to restore production; (iii) providing micro-credits to low income communities; and (iv) providing skills development and business development training to rural community members to foster new business ventures among poor rural households;

Strengthening the technical capacity, and institutional arrangements and coordination, of KP’s and Balochistan’s line departments and agencies, as well as the FATA Secretariat, in order to carry out the post-crisis reconstruction efforts, including inter alia: (i) reviewing and revising policies, where appropriate, to consolidate peace and avert future conflicts by addressing their underlying causes; and (ii) supporting the KP’s Provincial Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Settlement Authority and FATA’s Disaster Management Authority.

III. ESSAF Objective

5. This ESSAF has been developed specifically for all projects and activities to be financed under the MDTF. Recognizing the urgent need for assistance and emergency nature of potential operations to be financed under the MDTF, the ESSAF provides an approach, tailored to this emergency situation in line with OP 8.00, to manage the potential environmental and social impacts of the projects and activities under the MDTF. It will guide the implementation agencies in: i) carrying out appropriate assessment of environmental and social impacts; ii) planning and implementing necessary environmental and social mitigation measures for these projects during the implementation phase, in compliance with relevant World Bank safeguard policies and the national regulatory requirements in Pakistan.

IV. General Principal

6. Recognizing the emergency nature of the potential operations under the MDTF and the related need for providing immediate assistance, while at the same time ensuring due diligence in managing potential environmental and social risks, the ESSAF is based on the following principles:

■ The operations under MDTF will support multiple projects, the detailed designs of which may not be known at this stage. To ensure effective application of the World Bank’s safeguard policies and the national regulatory requirements, the ESSAF provides guidance on the approach to be taken during the selection and design of projects/subprojects and the planning of mitigation measures.

3

■ Environmental category ‘A’ projects are not expected under the MDTF. However, if any do occur, Environment Assessments (EAs) for specific operations will be carried out during implementation, instead of before appraisal (the EAs will need to be carried out and cleared by the Bank before initiating the category ‘A’ projects). The corrective measures in the form of an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) will be built into the design of the specific projects under MDTF. The above is in accordance with paragraph 13 of OP 4.01 and paragraph 5 of BP 4.01.

■ For any environmental category ‘B’ project, an ESMP will be prepared during implementation, instead of before appraisal, however the ESMP will need to be prepared and cleared by the Bank before initiating the works under the project. For any project that consists of several distinct subprojects, ESMPs can be prepared for individual subprojects or their clusters.

■ No major resettlement issues are expected in the recovery and reconstruction operations to be financed under the MDTF. However, all proposed operations will be subject to resettlement impact screening. If any resettlement impacts are expected to occur, Resettlement Plans (RPs) for specific projects will be prepared and approved before initiating the specific projects.

V. Policy Framework

7. Pakistan EIA Regulations. Environmental Protection Act, 1997. The Act requires that an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) is carried out prior to undertaking any project, or an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is carried out prior to any project that may cause significant environmental and social impacts – and approval obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Act will be applicable to the projects under MDTF also, and the EAs to be conducted for the individual projects as part of the emergency operations will be consistent with the requirements laid down in the Act and its subordinate IEE/EIA Regulations.

8. The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) 1894. The Pakistan law governing land acquisition is the LAA of 1894 and successive amendments. The LAA regulates the land acquisition process and enables the federal and provincial governments to acquire private land for public purposes through the exercise of the right of eminent domain. Land acquisition is a provincial responsibility and each province has its own interpretation of the Act. Some provinces also have their own province specific implementation rules.

9. World Bank OP 4.01 - Environmental Assessment. This operational policy (OP) requires EA to be conducted of projects proposed for Bank financing to help ensure that they are environmentally sound and sustainable with an objective to improve decision making process. The OP also classifies the project in one of the four categories (A, B, C and FI) on the basis of the type, location, sensitivity, and scale of the project and the nature and magnitude of its potential environmental impacts.

10. Considering the nature and magnitude of potential environmental and social impacts from relatively limited scale and quantum of the proposed activities, the operations under the MDTF are likely to be classified as category ‘B’. The requirement to carry out an Environmental Assessment (EA) as part of project preparation can be waived but, for projects

4

with potential adverse impacts, an appropriated level of environmental and social assessment will be carried out during the project implementation. At the same time, prior to appraisal, the implementing agencies will agree to apply the following minimum standards during implementation: (i) inclusion of standard environmental codes of practice (ECOP) in the bid documents of all projects; (ii) conducting EA acceptable to the Bank before initiating any environmental category ‘A’ projects/subprojects; (iii) preparing ESMP acceptable to the Bank before initiating any environmental category ‘B’ projects/subproject; (iv) review and oversight of any major construction works by environmental and social specialists; (v) provisions for adequate budget and satisfactory institutional arrangements to implement the environmental and social mitigation measures; and (vi) provisions for adequate budget and satisfactory institutional arrangements to monitor the effective implementation of environmental and social mitigation measures.

11. World Bank OP 4.12 - Involuntary Resettlement. The need for involuntary resettlement or land acquisition in specific subproject areas will only be known during project implementation, when site-specific plans are available. Therefore projects will be screened for applicability of the resettlement policy and any projects involving involuntary resettlement or land acquisition will only be approved after preparation of a resettlement plan acceptable to the Bank. The safeguards framework will therefore include procedures for identifying eligible project-affected people, calculating and delivering compensation, and mechanisms for land dispute grievance redress.

12. World Bank OP/BP 4.10 - Indigenous Peoples. There are no known indigenous peoples living in the affected areas and ethnicity is in any case only one of many factors determining vulnerability in the present situation in Pakistan. In this perspective, a social assessment with focus on potential vulnerability covering all affected groups is planned to ensure effective consultations and culturally appropriate benefits for each group, instead of focusing only on groups defined as “indigenous peoples”. As part of this analysis, project preparation will assess the vulnerability of different groups in particular project contexts (in terms of potential exclusion from project benefits, negative project impacts, and the need for specific culturally compatible mechanisms for participation, e.g. for women, permanently disabled), and will incorporate adequate measures to address such vulnerability in project design.

13. World Bank OP 11.03 - Cultural Property. The emergency operations may pose limited risks of damaging cultural property, assuming that they will not include large-scale excavations, movement of earth or demolition. Nevertheless, projects will be reviewed for their potential impact on cultural property and clear procedures will be required for identification, protection of cultural property from theft, and treatment of discovered artifacts, and will be included in standard bidding documents. While not damaging cultural property, subproject preparation may later identify and include assistance for preservation of historic or archeological sites. If these opportunities occur, cultural property management plans would be prepared for those projects.

14. World Bank OP 4.04 - Natural Habitats/OP 4.36 - Forestry. The projects under the proposed recovery operations are unlikely to directly affect the natural habitats, forest resources, declared forest reserves, wildlife reserves, national parks, and sanctuaries.

5

However, the reconstruction activities may indirectly increase pressure on natural resources, such as timber. Hence, this aspect will need to be covered in the environmental and social assessment of the individual projects. In addition, the implementing agencies will agree, prior to appraisal, not to carry out any reconstruction works under the proposed project in thickly forested areas, declared forest reserves, wildlife reserves, national parks, and sanctuaries. Decisions on actions and requirements will be made with the concurrence of the Bank.

15. Other WB Operational Policies. Other OPs - including OP 4.09 (Pest Management), OP 4.37 (Safety of Dams), OP 7.50 (Projects in International Waters), and OP 7.60 (Projects in Disputed Areas) – are not likely to be relevant for the proposed project and hence not triggered. However, these OPs will be reviewed while conducting the EAs or preparing ESMP for the category ‘A’ and category ‘B’ projects, respectively.

VI. Impact Screening, Assessment and Mitigation Planning

16. While preparing any operations or projects for financing under the MDTF, the ESSAF will be followed to screen environmental and social impacts and plan any required mitigation measures. The screening process and its findings as well as the proposed mitigation measures will be documented as part of the project/subproject package. The following guidelines, codes of practice and requirements will be followed in the selection, design and implementation of any operations financed under the MDTF.

■ Environmental impact assessment will be conducted for all projects/subprojects under MDTF. Criteria for the type of assessment to be conducted for individual projects/subprojects are provided in Attachment 1. Full EAs will need to be conducted and clearance obtained from the Bank prior to initiating environmental category ‘A’ projects/subprojects. Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) will need to be prepared and clearance obtained from the Bank prior to initiating environmental category ‘B’ projects/subprojects1; Attachment 2 provides guidelines for preparing ESMPs. For smaller projects/subprojects, environmental screening will be carried out with the help of the checklist provided in Attachment 3. The EAs and ESMPs will also be submitted to the relevant EPA for obtaining No Objection Certificate (NOC) before commencing the project/subprojects implementation, in line with the national regulatory requirements in the Country.

■ Each implementing agency under the MDTF will appoint/designate an environmental and social focal point (ESFP), who will be responsible for ESSAF implementation within his/her organization, and also for the preparation and submission of quarterly monitoring reports to the Bank on the screening of and the rationale for the proposed environmental categorization of each project.

■ While conducting EA and preparing ESMP, cumulative impacts of a large number of projects/subprojects will also be considered.

■ All projects/subprojects will be screened for need of land acquisition and resettlement. If confirmed, necessary planning efforts will be carried out to develop mitigation measures.

1 The requirement of obtaining Bank’s clearance for the EAs/ESMPs is proposed for the first two years of

the MDTF.

6

A guideline for land compensation and resettlement planning is provided in Attachment 4.

■ All projects/subprojects will be screened for impacts on physical cultural resources and necessary mitigation measures. Procedures for the protection of cultural property, including the chance discovery of archaeological artifacts, unrecorded graveyards and burial sites are outlined in Attachment 5.

■ All construction contracts for the projects/subprojects financed by the MDTF will include appropriate clauses to ensure effective implementation of the mitigation measures identified in EA/ESMP/Checklist. A sample environmental safeguards procedure for inclusion in the technical specifications of contracts is provided in Attachment 6.

■ The Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the World Bank will also be applicable to the activities under the emergency projects/subprojects. The Guidelines are provided in Attachment 7.

■ The procurement plans for the proposed projects/subprojects will include milestones for preparation of EA/ESMP/Checklist, and obtaining clearance from the Bank.

VII. Consultations

17. Consultations will be mainstreamed in the preparation of new operations under the MDTF. For environmental Category ‘A’ and ‘B’ operations2, the implementing agencies will consult the potentially affected groups and local nongovernmental organizations on the project environmental and social aspects, and will take their views into account. The implementing agencies will initiate these consultations as early as possible, and for meaningful consultations, will provide relevant material in a timely manner prior to consultation, in a form and language(s) that are understandable and accessible to the groups being consulted.

18. For Category ‘A’ projects/subprojects, the implementing agencies will consult these groups at least twice: (a) shortly after the environmental screening and prior to finalization of the terms of reference for the EA; and (b) once a draft EA report is prepared. For the initial consultation, the implementing agencies will provide a summary of the proposed subproject's objectives, description, and potential impacts. For both Category ‘A’ and ‘B’ projects, the implementing agencies will provide these groups with a summary of the EA report (including the conclusions of the assessment). In addition, the implementing agencies will make the draft reports publicly available to project-affected groups and local nongovernmental organizations.

VIII. Planning, Review and Approval

19. The entire environmental and social screening and assessment procedure described above will be integrated within the preparation of the operations under the MDTF. To this end, the screening and planning to address environmental and social impacts would be initiated during the operation preparation phase. The operation preparation agencies will be responsible for the screening and planning of any environmental and social action plans 2 As defined in World Bank Operational Policy 4.01, Environmental Assessment.

7

required in line with this Framework. The EA or ESMP and RAPs will be submitted to the project approving authority as part of the project/subproject application package. The implementation agencies will assign specialists to review the environmental and social safeguard action plans, such as screening report, EA, ESMP and RAP. The implementation agencies will submit the safeguard documents for World Bank’s review and clearance, in accordance with the procedures as described in Section VI. The implementation agencies will not approve the proposed operations until the required environmental and social safeguard action plans are cleared for compliance with the Framework by the World Bank. A simplified flow chart for project preparation, approval and execution along with the EA/ESMP/Checklist requirements is provided below.

20. The implementing agencies will implement the projects under MDTF in close coordination with the relevant line departments, local governments, and political agents. Each implementing agency and in turn, each line department, will be responsible for applying the safeguard screening and mitigation requirements to its own projects. Separate environmental and social focal points (ESFPs) will be identified in each of the implementing agencies, with responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the ESSAF. The provincial EPAs (for KP and Balochistan), and Federal EPA (for FATA projects) will be responsible for environmental clearance for operations or projects/subprojects that require statutory environmental clearance, in accordance with the law. Although the national/provincial environmental clearance procedures are adequate and fairly reliable, the Bank will still review a samples of the EAs/ESMPs prepared under each sub-component and provide necessary concurrence for the approval of disbursements of funds.

21. All agencies and departments who are preparing and will implement operations under the MDTF will appoint officers as the environmental and social focal points (ESFPs), who will liaise and coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure compliance with this Framework.

IX. Capacity-Building and Monitoring of ESSAF Implementation

22. As part of the capacity-building to be provided for implementation of the proposed operations, the ESFPs and relevant staff of the concerned line departments will also receive training in ESSAF’s application. The World Bank will monitor and provide guidance in the implementation of the ESSAF. The World Bank will also assist in this capacity-building in the implementation of approved safeguard action plans.

23. The implementing agencies through their ESFPs will be responsible, besides other functions, to monitor and supervise the implementation of any safeguard action plans. For this purpose, the implementing agencies will establish a monitoring mechanism as part of the project management system over the implementation of agreed safeguard action plans. In addition, the implementing agencies will also engage external monitors over the implementation of agreed safeguard action plans. The monitoring mechanisms should be detailed in the required action plans.

X. Disclosure

24. This ESSAF will be shared with all relevant agencies, line departments of the provincial and federal governments, concerned nongovernmental organizations, and development partners. Subsequently, it will be disclosed in Urdu and English by the implementing agencies, and also made available at the websites of GoP, GoKP, FATA Secretariat, GoBalochistan and the relevant line departments. Copies of ESSAF will also be sent to Federal EPA, KP EPA, and Balochistan EPA. It will also be made available at the World Bank’s InfoShop. Relevant project specific safeguard documents/mitigation plans to be prepared subsequently will also be disclosed in a similar manner.

Attachment 2: Guidelines for Preparation of Environmental and Social Management Plans

1. The EA process involves the identification and development of measures aimed at eliminating, offsetting and/or reducing environmental and social impacts to levels that are acceptable during implementation and operation of the projects. As an integral part of EA, ESMP provides an essential link between the impacts predicted and mitigation measures specified within the EA and implementation and operation activities. The World Bank guidelines state that detailed ESMPs are essential elements for Category ‘A’ projects, but for many Category ‘B’ projects, a simple ESMP alone will suffice. While there are no standard formats for ESMPs, it is recognized that the format needs to fit the circumstances in which the ESMP is being developed and the requirements, which it is designed to meet. ESMPs should be prepared after taking into account comments and clearance conditions from both the relevant agency providing environmental clearance and WB. Given below are the important elements that constitute an ESMP.

a. Description of Mitigation Measures 2. Feasible and cost effective mitigation measures to minimize adverse impacts to acceptable levels should be specified with reference to each impact identified. Further, it should provide details on the conditions under which the mitigation measure should be implemented (eg, routine or in the event of contingencies). The ESMP should also distinguish between the phase in which it should become operable (design, construction and/or operational). Efforts should also be made to mainstream environmental and social aspects where possible. Cumulative impacts of a large number of projects should also be considered.

10

b. Monitoring Program 3. In order to ensure that the proposed mitigation measures have the intended results and comply with national standards and donor requirements, an environmental monitoring program should be included in the ESMP. The monitoring program should give details of the following;

■ Monitoring indicators to be measured for evaluating the performance of each mitigation measure (for example national standards, engineering structures, extent of area replanted, etc).

■ Monitoring mechanisms and methodologies

■ Monitoring frequency

■ Monitoring locations

■ Documentation and reporting requirements.

c. Institutional Arrangements 4. Institutions/departments responsible for implementing mitigation measures and for monitoring their performance should be clearly identified. Additionally, roles and responsibilities of various personnel in these departments should be clearly specified. Where necessary, mechanisms for institutional coordination should also be identified as often monitoring tends to involve more than one institution.

d. Implementing Schedules 5. Timing, frequency and duration of mitigation measures with links to overall implementation schedule of the project should be specified.

e. Reporting Procedures 6. Feedback mechanisms to inform the relevant parties on the progress and effectiveness of the mitigation measures and monitoring should be specified. Guidelines on the type of information wanted and the presentation of feedback information should also be highlighted.

f. Cost Estimates and Sources of Funds 7. Implementation of mitigation measures mentioned in the ESMP, and environmental/social monitoring will involve an initial investment cost as well as recurrent costs. The ESMP should include costs estimates for each measure and also identify sources of funding.

Attachment 4: Guidelines for Land Acquisition and Resettlement Planning I. Objectives 1. Resettlement and land acquisition will be kept to a minimum, and will be carried out in accordance with these guidelines. Subproject proposals that would require demolishing houses or acquiring productive land should be carefully reviewed to minimize or avoid their impacts through alternative alignments. Proposals that require more than minor expansion along rights of way should be carefully reviewed. No land or asset acquisition may take place outside of these guidelines. A format for a Land Impact Screening Data Sheet is attached as Attachment 4(i) 2. These guidelines provide principles and instructions to compensate negatively affected persons to ensure that they will be assisted to improve, or at least to restore, their living standards, income earning or production capacity to pre-project levels regardless of their land tenure status. 3. Voluntary land contribution is accepted with the following conditions,

Contribution is truly voluntary without pressure The land contributed is free of occupation Contribution is less than 10% of the total land holding The contributing household is not below the national poverty line The contribution is documented

4 Voluntary contribution should be clearly documented to confirm the voluntary nature of the transition. The documentation should specify that the land is free of any squatters, encroachers or other claims. A format is shown in Attachment 4(ii).

II. Policy Framework for Land Acquisition and Resettlement

5 The framework is prepared on the basis of the Land Acquisition Act and the World Bank Operation Policy 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement. The overall objective is to mitigate adverse project impacts on people’s livelihood, and assist them in improving or at least restoring their livelihoods. The following principles will be followed in developing any resettlement plans,

6. The project implementation agencies will ensure timely provision of the following means of compensation to affected peoples:

(a) Project affected peoples losing access to a portion of their land or other productive assets with the remaining assets being economically viable are entitled to compensation at a replacement cost for that portion of land or assets lost to them. Compensation for the lost assets will be made according to the following principles:

(i) replacement land with an equally productive plot, cash or other equivalent productive assets;

(ii) materials and assistance to fully replace solid structures that will be demolished;

(iii) replacement of damaged or lost crops and trees, at market value;

(iv) other acceptable in-kind compensation;

19

(v) in case of cash compensation, the delivery of compensation should be made in public, i.e., at the Community Meeting; and

(vi) in case of physical relocation, provision of civic infrastructure at the resettlement sites.

(b) Project affected peoples losing access to a portion of their land or other economic

assets rendering the remainder economically non-viable will have the options of compensation for the entire asset by provision of alternative land, cash or equivalent productive asset, according to the principles in (a) i-iv above.

7 The displaced persons eligible for compensation or rehabilitation provisions under the Program are:

All land owning displaced persons losing land or non-land assets, i.e., crops and trees whether covered by legal title or traditional land rights, whether for temporary or permanent acquisition.

Tenants and share-croppers, whether registered or not; for all non land assets, based on prevailing tenancy arrangements.

Displaced persons losing the use of structures and utilities, including titled and non-titled owners, registered, unregistered, tenants and lease holders plus encroachers and squatters.

Displaced persons losing business, income and salaries of workers, or a person or business suffering temporary effects, such as disturbance to land, crops, and business operations both permanently and also temporarily during construction.

Loss of communal property, lands and public infrastructure. Vulnerable displaced persons identified through focus group discussions. In the event of relocation, all displaced persons will receive transitional and other

support to reestablish shelter and livelihoods.

Unidentified Losses

Unanticipated impacts

All DPs Dealt with as appropriate during sub-project implementation according to the WORLD BANK policy.

III. Procedure of Formulating a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 8. If resettlement impacts are unavoidable in implementing a subproject, the executing or implementing agency will formulate a land acquisition and resettlement plan in parallel with sub-project design according to the following procedure:

Complete the screening checklist. Conduct focus group discussions including consultations with women and vulnerable

households to (a) obtain stakeholder inputs regarding how to avoid or at least minimize involuntary resettlement, and to identify their needs and preferences; (b) establish the social and economic baseline to prepare the RAPs.

Based on detailed design undertake (a) social impacts assessment (SIA), (b), census survey of DPs, (c) complete an inventory of lost land and assets of all DPs and addresses of households, (d) land demarcation and measurement surveys (LDMS), and (e) disclose resettlement information to all DPs in their own language.

Prepare and disclose the RAPs to all DPs in their own language and keep copies of the documents at public offices; the project executing agency or concerned government will endorse the RAPs before submitting it MDTF and to World Bank for review.

IV Consultation Process 8. The implementing agencies will ensure that all occupants of land and owners of assets located in a proposed subproject area are consulted. Community meetings will be held in each affected district and village. The consultations will identify their concerns and take into account special needs and considerations. Consultations will be gender inclusive and ensure vulnerable households are not excluded. The decisions of such meetings will be recorded, and these records will indicate the responsibility and timeline for implementing the decisions. Each resettlement plan will document all public consultations held and the disclosure of resettlement information. During RAP preparation, resettlement information will be disclosed to all DPs in their own language, and their views and opinions will be taken into consideration in finalizing the plans. Final RAPs will be translated into local languages and disclosed through public notices posted at implementing agency offices, published in newspapers, and posted on World Bank’s website. The DPs will be closely consulted in resettlement site selection and livelihood restoration, as relevant.

V. Complaints and Grievances

9. Field level grievances will be addressed through a local grievance redress committee to be formally constituted for reconstruction activities that will have participation of DPs and EAs. The local grievance redress committee will be established at district level, which will comprise of all relevant stakeholders, including DP representatives and a local NGO/CBO. The

23

committees will function as open forums for raising objections and holding discussions to resolve conflicts. Each committee will record its deliberations and inform the concerned parties within 4 weeks of its findings and recommendations. Displaced persons may also appeal to the Ombudsperson established under the flood management program.

VI. Monitoring and Evaluation 10. The RAP implementation for each sub-project will be monitored both internally and externally. The EAs/IAs with assistance of MC will carry out internal monitoring and provide periodical monitoring reports to World Bank. The frequency of reports will vary from sub-project to sub-project in accordance with the severity and magnitude of impacts. External monitoring will be required in cases where livelihood compensation has to be paid and section-by-section approach for RAP and civil works is adopted. The aim would be to identify cases where the mitigation measures and compensation are failing to support livelihoods, so that additional measures can be identified to prevent this happening, especially in sub-projects that will be implemented on a section-by-section basis. The external monitoring agency (EMA) will be hired under the MCs and frequency of external monitoring will be identified in each RAP depending on the scale and sensitivity of impacts. All monitoring reports will also be submitted to World Bank prior to mobilization of the civil works contractor. 11. The EMA will also assess the situation of affected vulnerable groups, including female headed households, with selection based upon consideration of appropriate socio-economic indicators and a review of the RAP implementation process. In the event that DPs will need to be relocated, the EMA will carry out a post-implementation evaluation of the RAP about a year after completion of a sub-project, in order to ascertain whether the objectives of the RAP were attained. The benchmark data of the socio-economic survey of DPs conducted during the preparation of RAP will be used to compare the pre and post-project conditions. The EMA will recommend appropriate supplementary assistance for the DPs should the outcome of the monitoring show that the objectives of the RAP have not been achieved.

Attachment 5: Protection of Cultural Property

1. Cultural property include monuments, structures, works of art, or sites of significance points of view, and are defined as sites and structures having archaeological, historical, architectural, or religious significance, and natural sites with cultural values. This includes cemeteries, graveyards and graves. 2. The initial phase of the proposed emergency reconstruction operations pose limited risks of damaging cultural property since projects will largely consist of small investments in community infrastructure, reconstruction of existing structures, and minor public works. Nevertheless, the following procedures for identification, protection from theft, and treatment of discovered artifacts should be followed and included in standard bidding documents as provided in Attachment 6. Chance Find Procedures 3. Chance find procedures will be used as follows:

(a) Stop the construction activities in the area of the chance find;

(b) Delineate the discovered site or area;

(c) Secure the site to prevent any damage or loss of removable objects. In cases of removable antiquities or sensitive remains, a night guard shall be present until the responsible local authorities and the Ministry in charge of Department of Archaeology and Museums take over;

Introduction

The road from Sharifabad to Kanju (10.5 km) will be improved from funding of World Bank (WB) under an emergency relief fund called Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) provided by the Friends of Pakistan to the Government of Pakistan for the post conflict reconstruction. The World Bank has taken the project emergency operations and all efforts are being made to facilitate its implementation on top priority basis. The project will be implemented through the Frontier Highways Authority (FHA).

The up gradation / Rehabilitation of this road will greatly improve the socio-economic conditions of the area. After its completion, the project will regulate the flow of traffic on the Chakdara-Madyan Road (PHS-03). Improvement of this highway will provide a better communication means to the farmers of the area to transport their agriculture produce and fruits to local as well as down districts markets. This Highway will provide an alternate route to the tourists coming from the rest of the country to this beautiful valley. The socio economic up lift of the area will result in healthy socioeconomic activities in the project area.

1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.0 The project is located in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Tehsil Kabbal District Swat , on right bank of River Swat. The existing road traverses through small towns and cultivated lands on the right bank of River Swat. The project road feeds numerous settlements / villages of varying sizes namely Sharifabad, Daggay, Ajmeer Abad, Kabbal, Guljabba, Hazara, Ali Grama and Kanju.

It is a three year project starting from August 2011 and will be physically closed on June 30, 2014 but the RP will be implemented within a period of one year starting from August 2011. The project has two components. The first relates to Infrastructure Rebuilding and the second to Project Management. The 1st Component consists of civil works along the provincial highway S-3B (Sharifabad-Kanju) comprising: (a) Reconstruction and widening of about 10.5 km of highway, including related structures from Sharif Abad (Km 30+424) to Kanju (Km 40+924); (b) associated relocation of utilities, land acquisition and resettlement. The 2nd Component includes support for Contract administration & construction supervision consultant services; (a) Environmental & social safeguards consultant services; and (b) Other Project management activities through the financing of incremental operating costs. The SIA / RP study relates to the 1st Component of the project.

1

The new road has been designed as 02-lane single carriage way having a black topped width of 7.31m with 02 m paved shoulder on each side. The road section will vary in urban area having a total black topped width of 10 m to 12 m. On each side, pacca covered drains with top width of 1.22 m and 0.50 m elevated above finished road level will also be provided. These covered drains will also be used as footpaths.

1. To minimize the resettlement impacts, the FHA adopted the following approach in the design of project road.

a. At sections, where there are no resettlement issues, the full RoW width (15 m) will be considered for road improvement works.

b. At build-up areas where RoW has been encroached by the people, the road improvement works will be confined to the CoI instead of taking full width of RoW. However, the road design will not be changed at these locations. It will be ensured that required CoI (7.3 m) is available at the build-up areas to make the road improvements as per design. If required, the structures will be removed from the CoI.

According to the inventory survey of project affected assets, the project will impact 26 structures (16 shops, 08 houses and 02 boundary Walls) and 93 non-fruit trees. The source of livelihood of 27 squatters and 05 business tenants will also be affected.

Summary of Project Impacts

The project will impact business structures, residential structures, boundary walls, trees and sources of livelihood. A summary of these impacts is provided in the following table and details are provided in Chapter-4.

2.1.1 Compensation Eligibility

2. All PAPs identified along the project corridor losing small business structures, houses, boundary walls, trees and encroached cropped area including tenants and squatters are eligible for compensation. Compensation eligibility is attached with the cut–off date that has been announced as 11.05.2011.

2.1.2 Compensation Entitlements

3. The PAPs will be compensated for the loss of their structure/ asset according to the type of impact. The impacts are defined as mild and severe. The mild impacts are those where a structure will not lose its present use and remains useful after rehabilitating the affected part.
