Background 1. The CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project includes the rehabilitation of the 114 km road section of the national road to Kyrgyz border. The development of 25 km road section from Nimich to Sayron, and the 89 km section from Sayron to Karamik (herein after referred to as the Project) comprise the project area. The Project aims to foster regional and international cooperation and sustainable economic growth in Tajikistan by increasing the efficiency and safety of transport between Dushanbe and Rasht valley in the north-east road corridor linking the capital Dushanbe to the Kyrgyz border 2. The objectives of the Project are to (i) reduce poverty and promote sustainable economic growth in the area, and (ii) improve regional trade and cooperation. These objectives will be achieved (i) in the short-term by construction related activity, and (ii) in the long-term by the improvement of transport efficiency through reduction of transport costs to road users and improved access to markets and social services in the area. 3. The Project will rehabilitate the Dushanbe-Kyrgyz border road from Nimich through Jirgatal to border post at Karamik. The construction of the road has been awarded as two contracts, the first being the rehabilitation of the 25 km road sector between Nimich and Sayron (Package 2) and the second the 89 km road sector from Sayron to Karamik (Package 1) in a corridor varying in width between 3 to 8 m to a maximum width of 13 m in urban areas 4. The Executing Agency for this project is the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC). The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) established under the Ministry will function as the implementing agency while the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) will perform the duties of the Engineer on behalf of the PIU. 5. The Loan Agreement for the Project was signed by the MOTC and ADB on 03rd November 2007. Accordingly, the MOTC allocated specific funds for ‘Land Acquisition and Resettlement’ 6. The road rehabilitation works of the Project will have only limited resettlement impacts. Accordingly, a Short Resettlement Plan (SRP) for the Project was prepared in June 2007 under TA 4784-TAJ, based on preliminary design information, general findings of survey data, field visits, secondary socio-economic data and consultation with local people and authorities. Relevant details of this SRP are summarized below: i. All construction activities will take place on the existing established right-of-way (ROW). ii. 7 households were identified in a short section of the alignment (within Tajikabad Rayon) that may be seriously affected, out of a total of 27 households that would be affected in some way by widening of the road reserve to accommodate drainage and pedestrian requirements. iii. Paragraph 16 confirms that the SRP is based on preliminary design information which will have to be updated before the signing of contract awards, and that if anything the detailed design will more likely lead to a reduction of resettlement impacts. iv. ‘Policy Framework and Entitlements’, ‘Institutional Arrangements’, ‘Consultation and Grievance Redress’, ‘Monitoring Arrangements’ and 1 URSP-3 Republic of Tajikistan: CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project ‘Financial and Implementation Schedule’ are detailed in the report, and are not repeated in this updated report. 7. As part of the SRP process, and in addition to stakeholder meetings and consultations, a pamphlet in Tajik summarizing compensation eligibility and entitlement provisions has been distributed to all affected households. 8. The construction work of Package 2: the 25 km section from Nimich to Sayron, has been completed and all compensation payments for the affected persons (APs) in this section have also been completed. Independent Monitoring on compensation payments for Package 2 APs was conducted by the Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) and a summary report is included as Section E of this updated SRP. 9. The project section under consideration, Package 1: Sayron to Karamik (248 -337 km), (Figure-1) is a conventional civil works contract based on prepared design drawings and a Bill of Quantities (BOQ). 10. Tenders for Package 1 construction were received on 2nd May 2008. The lowest conforming bid price received for Package 1 was USD 44,500,172.48. Following the two part Technical Qualification Assessment and Financial Evaluation process, ADB approval to negotiate with China Railway (WUJU) Corporation (CRWC) for Package 1 was received on 06th August 2008. Negotiations to reduce the bid value to within available loan provisions included joint inspection of Site by MOTC and CRWC. After negotiations to reduce the scope of work and bid price to USD 29,691,372.66, a recommendation to award this contract to CRBC was submitted to the ADB on 15th August 2008. 11. Package 1 site inspections during the tender negotiation process indicated that the final road alignment could be accommodated within the existing right-of-way (ROW) without significant resettlement impacts, and reduced costs. 12. Earth work of Package-1 has been mostly completed and the List of APs entitled to compensation payments (Resettlement List) has been finalized. The Resettlement List for the section has been forwarded by the PIU to the Ministry of Finance for effecting the payments. B. Updated SRP 13. An Updated Short Resettlement Plan (August 2008) was prepared in August, 2008 fulfilling the requirement in paragraph 69 of the RRP. 2 URSP-3 Republic of Tajikistan: CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project Figure 1: Road Section Map 3 URSP-3 Republic of Tajikistan: CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project C. Second Updating 14. As a requirement of the first Updated SRP (August 2008) the short resettlement plan was again updated in August, 2009 to include all the APs identified and confirmed, subsequent to finalization of the ROW of Package 2, and current costs. At this time the road design for Package 1 was not completed and therefore the list of APs could not be finalized. 15. Package 2 of the CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project comprised the rehabilitation of a 25 km section of the national road from Nimich to Sayron in which the civil works included widening of the existing road alignment, reconstruction of road pavement and drainage structures, rehabilitation and replacement of bridges, and installation of road safety devices and traffic signs. 16. This Second Updated Short Resettlement Plan (USRP-2:Aug 2009)), was prepared to accommodate the changes in the resettlement list and thereby the APs and compensation costs, which have been brought about by the alterations to the road designs in Package 2. The design alterations had been made with due consideration to reduce land take as much as possible. USRP-2 was prepared using the final designs, verification of affected properties and APs through participatory surveys, and consultation of local people and local authorities. The main focus of USRP-2 was on Package 2 as the updating and verification of APs and affected properties in Package 1 was in progress. D. Final Updating 17. The design for the Package 1 having being completed in December 2009 the preparation of the Resettlement List for compensation payments was finalized in July 2010. The finalized list included 26 house owners. This final updating of the short resettlement plan has been carried out to include all the APs identified and confirmed by the finalized Resettlement List for Package 1, as required by the first Updated SRP (August 2008).
