INTRODUCTION

Edo SWtte WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Background

The urban environment is a living organism. The people react with it and in turn it reacts with the people. It is our mirror with which we reflects our beings. To this end, Ismail Serageldin of the Environment Department, World Bank said "to look at our cities is to see into our future."

What the present and the future of our cities hold for us differs from place to place, and time to time. Federico Mayor, a past Director General, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisations (UNESCO), warned that by the year 2035, "three billion more people will be living in the urban settlements that exist today."

The portion of Nigeria in this is captured by the World Watch Institute with its reports that: by 2015 the population of Lagos may rise to nearly 25 million people, therefore moving from the world's thirteenth largest city to the third largest. The fate of Benin City (a medium city), Edo State Nigeria is encased in the report of The World Bank, which stated that the major cities are growing at the rates of between 10 - 15% while the medium cities are growing at 7 - 10% per annum.

Urbanization and its unsustainable management is not without its externalities. The World Bank lamented that: "one billion people - mostly in developing countries - do not have access to clean water; 1.7 billion people do not have access to sanitation; and 2 - 3 million of children die annually because of diseases associated vith this lack of water and sanitation. To this situation, we are adding about 90 million people to the global population every year - again, mostly in developing countries". This presents a tremendous challenge to humanity.

Nigeria as a developing country has her own share of these urban pathologies. Though statistics available are not site-specific, but what is available is equally frightening. The Federal Office of Statistics (FOS), Nigeria reported that "urban poverty in Nigeria has increased from 17% in 1980 to 58% in 1996. Between 1980 - 85, it rose from 17.6% to 37.8%. By 1996, 19 million people were poor. Out of this figure about 11 million people were estimated to be moderately poor, and 8 million people, the core poor - an increase from 3.1% to 25.2% in the fifteen years between 1980 - 1995. The dichotomy between urban and rural poverty rates in Nigeria is small - 58% of urban dwellers live in poverty as compared to 60% in rural areas".

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 2 Equally, the plethora of problems facing urban slum dwellers is multi- dimensional. They lack the basic needs of good nutrition, potable water, fuel, shelter, medical care, schooling, and sanitation. This situation has created some undesirable environmental, social, economic, and institutional dislocations in our urban slum neighbourhoods. Our urban slum environments are daily confronted with social disequilibrium and its fallouts of social maladies. Unemployment, early sex, prostitution, verbal hostilities and shaming, vandalism, pollution, environmental decay, graffiti, high crime rates and violence of extra-ordinary proportions, and social inequality are other social 'brown fields' found in our urban slums.

The response of urban management strategies to urban slum is now becoming people-centred. Urban planners and renewers are increasingly calling for a fast shift from the old paradigm of managing urban slum by a 'technical fix' of blighted neighbourhoods. To this end, Lewis Mumford in his book, The City in History captured this school of thought by asserting that uthe best economy of a city is the care and culture of men".

This in effect means total clearance of urban slum, putting a fresh coat of paint to blighted neighbourhoods, or gentrification (the process by which higher-income families take over formerly poor neighbourhoods) cannot be a panacea to urban slum management.

In another vein, urban slum govemance without participation of the people will make urban slum to reoccur while established local economies, environmental systems and socio-spatial relationships are put paid to. Inclusiveness or participation with the essence of empowerment has tightened the umbilical cord that integrates all the normative goals of sustainable urban slum management. The message of the 2nd United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat 11) reinforced this philosophy, and it is very resounding. Among others, the Message is to influence the climate of local, state and national opinions and offer the pedestal for change in values, behaviour, attitudes and approaches to our living spaces, at the local government levels in particular. It is to help catapult our urban management from the confine of financial recklessness and institutional inertia, top-down planning mechanisms, rigid operation and maintenance of urban infrastructure and services, to the realm of bottom-up decision-making, decentralization and broad-based participation. This hopefully is expected to break the culture of exclusiveness and marginalization, which invariably creates and reinforces the vicious cycle of urban poverty.

AIM Consultants Ltd. champions these new thoughts, because our experience has revealed that urban slums after "technical fixation" (without participation of the people) often become worse centers of delinquency, vandalisation and general social hopelessness than the slum they were meant to replace.

Edo State WB Communiy*Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 3 It is against this background that the Federal Government of Nigeria, with support from The World Bank through the Federal Ministry of Finance, is carrying out a Community-Based Urban Development Project in some selected settlements in Benin City, Edo State.

1.2 Project Description

The Project is a Community-Based Urban Development of blighted neighbourhoods. In Edo State, Benin City has been chosen for the renewal of three settlements at Aduwawa, Ogbe Quarters and New Benin Central Area. Aduwawa has a population of 64,207 and it is in lkpoba-Okha Local Govemment. Ogbe Quarters and New Benin Central Area are in Oredo Local Government with population of 40,524 and 89,048, respectively. The area of Aduwawa is 41.2 hectares, Ogbe 24.74 hectares, and New Benin 49.5 hectares.

The project would finance the following project components:

(a) Upgradinq or Delivery of Basic Municipal Infrastructure

The project is to provide or rehabilitate basic municipal infrastructure and services necessary to improve the health and environmental conditions of the people in the areas of intervention. The areas of priorities for investments in the selected places are informed by the needs assessment carried out by the State Government and Local Governments in partnership with the communities. The sub-projects components needed to be upgraded are roads, drainage, footpath, water supply, electricity, health care, waste management, education, and sanitation.

The stakeholders in the project have their financial commitments. The State Governments, Local Governments, and communities will contribute 20% of the costs of investments as counterpart funders, with respective shares of each to be determined by the States while IDA (International Development Association) will contribute 80% of physical investment costs.

(ii) An Uparading Fund

An upgrading fund to be assessed by the State based on competitiveness, demand driven, and on first come first served basis, will be established to support sub-project proposals in the second phase of the Project.

To aid the preparation of proposals to the Fund, States will develop technical criteria for selecting cities in their "poor" regions to identify where investments are most critically needed.

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 4 The criteria of selection will be based on three studies: UNICEF's key social statistics 2000; findings from the core welfare indicators Questionnaire 2000; findings from existing poverty data analyzed by enumeration area, which the State statistics departments will undertake.

The PIU (Project Implementation Unit) through the CDO (Community Development Officer) of the Local Government channels communication campaigns to the communities to enlighten them about the project's concepts, eligibility criteria for accessing the fund, methodology for preparing proposals, counterpart fund and operation and maintenance (O&M) requirements. The eligibility criteria for accessing the Fund will be:

(a) high population density (at least 200 people per hectare);

(b) the poorest community in the city;

(d) maximum cost of sub-project not exceeding $2.0 million;

(e) per capita cost of investments not exceeding $20.00;

(f) no involuntary settlements under the sub-project proposal; and

(g) completion of at least 10% of the physical civil works in the first phase of the project.

(iii) Training and Capacity Building

The project will also embrace training and capacity building. The State will assign a Human Resources Development Officer (HRDO) to coordinate the capacity-building activities, while the scope of training will involve the PIU (Project Implementation Unit) members, HRDOs, Local Government Community Development Officers, and the CTC (Community Technical Committee) members.

The trainings will be on short, medium, and longer term. Within the confine of the short-term training, three officers from the PIU will be trained. They are the team leaders of the PIU, the financial officer or the internal auditors, and the procurement officer. Their training would focus on procurement, financial management, and internal auditing.

Edo Sfate WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 5 The medium-term training for PIU staff will involve training in civil works contract management, participatory and communitybased development, monitoring and quality control of works.

The long-term training would include training in technical, financial and management skills, environmental management and planning and participatory planning techniques for PIU Staff, HRDOs, LG Community Development Officers, as well as CTC members. This is to enable and facilitate partnerships that generate appropriate management structures, revenue collection mechanisms, and operation and maintenance.

(iv) Implementation Support, and Monitoring and Evaluation

The project would make for project implementation support, monitoring and evaluation. Some basic office equipments and facilities like vehicles, financial management support for 3 months/year for 5 years will be provided to assist in the establishment of the PIU. Moreso, some support and facilitties will also be extended to the Federal Ministries of Finance and Works and Housing. This is to empower them to supervise and monitor project activities, develop TORs and engage consultants for impact evaluations, monitoring and evaluation, and develop policy guidelines on access to basic municipal services for urban populations.

(v) HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaign

The project would also involve the development and execution of an appropriate AIDS Education Information and Communition Campaign in the project sites. The CDOs in each Local Government Area would partner with the State Health Department and the PIU to implement the campaigns.

(vi) Proiect Preparation Facility (PPF)

To enable project preparation to commence, A PPF (Project Preparation Fund) of US$1.50 million would be made available to the FGN as advance funds from the project. This will be reimbursed from project funds when the project becomes effective.

Institutional and policy restructuring is also within the purview of the project. To enhance this, the project will entail the financial audits of all participating LGs and SGs in order to ascertain their financial robustness. Among other objectives, it will foster project inclusiveness, affordability, replicability, and sustainability whereby participating institutions will determine their own capacity to provide and maintain infrastructure within budget confines.

Edo State WB CommunityBased Development Project - EnvironmentalImpact Assessment 6 The project is expected to generate some tangible and intangible benefits. The physical environmental conditions of the urban poor settlements will be improved, the LGs, the PIU, and other stakeholders will have their capacity built as they will be mobilized, organised and trained to partner with local governments in project design. Also, local artisans, contractors, and consulting firms will be mobilized to offer private service delivery.

Institutional arrangement for the project would involve the LG, the PSC (Project Steering Committee) and the CTC.

The State Project Steering Committee (PSC) is to provide overall policy guidance and the formulation of over-arching directives and decision-making. The PlUs (Project Implementation Unit) is to ac-t as the technical secretariat for the PSC, while the CTC (Community Technical Committee) is to liase with the PIU on a continual basis in order to get updated with project progress through the Community Development Officer of the Local Govemment.

1.3 Project Goal and Objectives

The goal of the Edo State Community-Based Urban Development Project is to upgrade the infrastructure deficiencies in poor settlements through plural planning or citizen participation that empowers the stakeholders to undertake replicable approaches to the provision of basic services in a demand responsive and affordable manner.

1.3.1 Objectives

(i) Establishment of partnerships between communities and their LGs so that sub-project proposals are developed jointly by them;

(ii) The delivery of basic urban services in poor urban settlements; and

(iii) The demonstration of viable approaches to service delivery that will enable LGs to move away from a culture of total financial dependency, even for recurrent expenditures for the operations and maintenance of infrastructure.

The approaches to meeting these goals and objectives are to:

(i) Collect the necessary engineering, survey and technical data and prepare detailed designs. of the identified civil works sub- projects which are for water supply, footpaths, roads, drainages, sanitation, schools, clinic and solid waste management in the project areas;

Edo State W8 Community-Based Development Project - EnvironmentalImpact Assessment 7 (ii) Arrange sub-projects in appropriate bidding packages;

(iii) Prepare tender documentation suitable for national or intemational as appropriate, competitive bidding for the sub- projects packages;

(iv) Prepare a maintenance strategy and program, sample annual maintenance plans and sample quarterly maintenance requirement schedules for each sub-project outlined in (i) above. Prepare modalities for the implementation, administration and management of 0 & M in each project area;

(v) Prepare detailed environmental impact assessment for the highest priority sub-project; and

(vi) Submit Final Report as it concerns the Terms of Reference of the Project.

1.3.2 Project Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

In meeting objective (v) of the project, the EIA component of it was designed to meet the underlisted objectives, viz:

(i) Assess the current laws, policies, institutional arrangements and procedures relating to environmental review of municipal-level infrastructure investments;

(ii) Assess the capacity of the local governments to address the potential environmental issues related to the investments supported by the project;

(iii) Propose a simple set of procedures that can be included in the project to screen the proposed investments for their potential environmental impacts and to ensure that they are designed and implemented with appropriate mitigation measures; and

(iv) To propose technical assistance and training needed to implement the procedures under the project.

1.3.3 Scope of Tasks for the EIA

The assessment is mostly on strategic assessment, therefore the following tasks hereunder will be carried out:

(i) Review the project concept document and other details.

(ii) Assess Nigeria's current laws, intemational conventions that have been ratified by the country, policies, institutional arrangements and procedure relating to environmental review of municipal-level infrastructure investments.

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 8 (iii) Assess the generic capacity of the communities, which will participate in the project to address the potential environmental and social impact of the investments to be carried out/provided.

(iv) Assess the capacity of environmental protection agency to provide technical support/oversight of the future screening and review process.

(v) Propose a simple set of procedures that can be included in the project to screen the proposed investments for their potential environmental and social impacts.

(vi) Propose technical assistance and training to implement the procedures in the project with estimated costs.

(vii) Prepare a draft report, and

NEW BENIN AM______LOCATION OF PROJECT SITES NG20IO 2.3 A Simple Set of Procedures to Screen Environmental Impacts

The environmental and social impact checklist of the sub-project components are presented in tables 2.4.1 - 2.4.7.

The single largest sub-project component that is likely to generate the most environmental and social impact during project implementation is roads, drainage and footpath

As indicated in table 2.4.1, during roads, drainage and footpath construction, the major visible negative impact is on road usage.

To screen roads, drainage and footpath construction for their potential environmental and social impacts, the following are recommended:

(i) Aduwawa

* Road, drainage and footpath construction should start from College Road. This is the second longest road, but the busiest and the most strategically located. During the construction, traffic should be diverted to Eweka Road and other roads.

Eweka Road should be the second road to be constructed after College Road. This is the longest street, but less strategic

* Uyigue and Idehe Roads should be constructed after Eweka Road while Ahanor, Emovon, Etehi and Unity Roads should follow accordingly.

These simple sets of procedures will ensure that minimal negative impacts are encountered by road users during road construction. The likely advent of dry season will reduce any event of flooding.

(ii) New Benin

The longest road to be rehabilitated in New Benin is Marina Street, which is 590m. Other roads ranges between 180-400m. In order to minimize negative impact on road users, Ofumwegbe, Lawani, Yoruba, Efehi, and Nosayaba Streets should be rehabilitated first. These roads are very strategic as they link directly to New Lagos Road.

The second phase of road construction should commence by constructing lyaba, Izuwa, Idupaye, Lawani (by Police Station) and Okundaye Streets

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 23 The third phase of road construction should shift to Upper Lawani, Marina, Ameze, Ezonwenrenren, and Guobadia Lane.

The fourth phase should move to 1st and 2nd Abumere, and Oviawe Street.

The pattern of road usage in the Community is mostly heavy along the major roads, and the households in the Community has very few cars and traffic volumes.

(iii) Ogbe Quarters

Six roads are to be rehabilitated in Ogbe Quarters. The longest of these roads is Ahoran Street which is about 680m. The road like others are minor roads with very light traffic.

However, the first phase of road construction should start from Ahoran, followed by Iwogun, Alaka, and New Ogunaogbe Street. Abehe and Old Ogunanogbe Streets should be rehabilitated in the second phase.

Other simple set of procedures that can assist in screening the potential environmental and social impacts are listed hereunder:

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 36 3.0 SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Project and its Location

The community-based urban development projects, CBUDPs consist of provision and/or roads, drainage and footpath upgrading of basic municipal infrastructure, namely, water supply, electric power supply and street lighting, waste management, public toilets, health care clinics and school rehabilitation and blocks of classrooms (at Aduwawa only).

* The CBUDPs will be implemented in Aduwawa, New Benin Central and Ogbe Communities in Benin City, Edo State.

* The CBUDPs priorites are based on the fundings of a socio- economic survey of the needs assessments of the selected low- income communities participating in the project.

* The project is to provide for or rehabilitate certain basic municipal infrastructure and services necessary to improve the health and environmental conditions of the people in the selected urban settlements.

* The interventions are not the same in each settlement. There is a total of 8 roads in Aduwawa, 20 in New Benin Central and 6 in Ogbe to be asphalted with rectangular side drains.

* There will be the provision of boreholes in Aduwawa, provision of 2 motorised boreholes in New Benin Central, and at Ogbe including the necessary accessories.

* Refuse disposal vehicles will be purchased for each community to enhance best waste management practices.

* Aduwawa and New Benin Central will each be provided with a health clinic, equipped with modern facilities and an ambulance.

* 500KVA transformers will be purchased to boost electric power supply to each community and street lighting provided.

* At Aduwawa Grammar School, some blocks of classrooms will be rehabilitated.

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 37 3.2 Environmental Baseline Conditions

The existing biophysical environment considered included Benin City as an ancient city surrounded by a 15'h century moat and very old mud wall houses with corrugated roofing sheets, topography, climate and meteorology and soil. The land slopes gently eastwards from Ogbe to New Benin Central and steeply from New Benin to lkpoba River. Aduwawa, on the eastern part of the river slopes gently westwards to lkpoba river. Heavy downpour and thunderstorms lasting an hour occur frequently in the raining season. The soils are lateritic, reddish. The major environmental problems are severe erosion and flooding.

The communities are low income urban areas in Benin City municipality, with poor roads, no drains, no reliable water supply, inadequate electric power supply, no street lighting, improper waste management practice, no health clinic, and public toilets. Sanitation is poor and there is a breakdown of existing infrastructure/services. Hence the need for the interventions.

3.3 Significant Associated and Potential Environmental Impacts

* The significant environmental impacts were ascertained from a checklist of selected environmental indicators and a project activities. These are shown in tables 4.1. to 4.7.

(a) In all, the interventions will have the major impact of transforming the communities into clean, healthier modern urban suburbs with the provision of reliable potable water, good motorable roads, flowing drains, reliable refuse collection, health clinics, public toilets, more stable electricity, street lighting and in the case of Aduwawa extra classroom blocks and upgraded sports facility. The CBUDPs will also have the following beneficial impacts.

* generate employment and income

* create rapid communication and ease of transportation

* reduce flooding and soil erosion

* eliminate darkness of the streets at night

* increase in housing due to the influx of people into the transformed communities.

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 38 * Eliminate breeding sites for mosquitoes

Reduce incidences of water borne diseases

* Improve general sanitation

* Promote higher life expectancy

* Reduction of agony, time spent and frustration with lack of infrastructure

* Reduce medical costs

(b) The major expected adverse impacts will be:

* noise and dust generation and temporary traffic obstruction at construction phases

* disposal of spoils from digging may blight the landscape

* borrow from Laterite excavations for roads may become breeding grounds for mosquitoes

* increase in crime rate.

* Open drains may become sites for dumping of refuse

* Facilities may become overstretched and become inadequate due to expected influx of people into the area.

* Possible conflicts at standpipes.

3.4 Mitigations

Measures to reduce or eliminate the adverse impacts were recommended.

3.5 Environmental Management Plan, EMP

For the life span of the CBUDPs mitigation measures for significant adverse impacts were recommended. The institutions that will be responsible for the EMP and their responsibilities were stated in tabular form. Compliance monitoring will be the responsibilities of the recommended Environmental Planing and Management Unit of the State Ministry of Environment.

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 39 3.6 Conclusion and Recommendation

* The interventions will bring some measurable poverty alleviation in the selected low-income/urban poor areas in Aduwawa, New Benin Central and Ogbe suburbs.

* The adverse environmental impacts associated with the CBUDPs are minor and easily mitigated.

* There are no legal, administrative/institutional, natural or biophysical and socio-economic environmental reasons which will delay or prevent implementation of the projects as proposed;

* Immediate embarking of the CBUDPs is recommended.
