Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel (Gas and HSD based) NBBL Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola Final

Executive Summary

A. Introduction

1. Nutan Bidyut (Bangladesh) Limited (hereinafter referred to as ‘NBBL’ or ‘Project Proponent’), a subsidiary of Shapoorji Pallonji Infrastructure Capital Company Private Limited (hereinafter referred to as ‘SPICCPL’ or ‘Client’) is in the process of developing a dual fuel (natural gas and high speed diesel oil) based combined cycle power plant of net capacity of around 225 MW (hereinafter referred to as ‘Project’) in Kutuba Union of Borhanuddin Upazilla, Bhola District of Barisal Division, Bangladesh with the financial assistance from a consortium of lenders which is led by Standard Chartered Bank (hereinafter referred to as ‘SCB’ or ‘Lender’).

2. NBBL has engaged AECOM India Private Limited (hereinafter referred to as ‘AECOM’) to undertake an audit of the land acquired for the project and its associated facilities and evaluation of its (direct and indirect) impacts on the land owners. And finally, preparation of a Livelihood Restoration Development Plan to assist and support restoration of livelihood of all 130 PAPs.

3. The Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan (LRDP), prepared for Nutan Bidyut (Bangladesh) Limited (NBBL), sets out the action plan and responsibility for ensuring that Project Affected Persons who’s land have been procured for the project Bhola, are fully compensated for the incurred loss of property and livelihood so that their living pattern is completely restored to an equal or improved level, as compared to standards before project activities.

B. Project Area

4. The project site is situated at south Kutuba in Kutuba union of Burhanuddin Upazila of Bhola districts which is bounded by the Bay of Bengal to the south, Meghna River and Shahbazpur channel to the north and east, respectively, and Tetulia River to the west. The Project site is situated in Borhanuddin Upazilla of Bhola District which is approximately 28 km south from Bhola Town, on the right bank of Dehular Khal and is approachable via Charfassion-Bhola Highway Road (R890). Borhanuddin town is approximately 3 km from the project site and 28 km north of Bhola District Headquarters.

5. The project area is divided in two parts – Main Land Area and Laydown Area. The mainland area covers around 5.78 acres, affecting around 66 people and land covered in the laydown area is 11.65 acres, impacting upon 64 people. Thus, total area purchased by NBBL is 17.43 acres affecting around 130 titleholder and 38+ non-titleholders. 6. The land procured for the project is entirely private land. It was primarily agricultural land, common crop grown in the area is paddy. There was only one individual structure which was used for keeping ducks and hens. Land was procured with the help of local facilitator based on limited negotiations.

C. Objectives

7. The primary objective of this document is to provide a detailed plan for livelihood restoration options for the people affected by land purchase for the project. The document has been prepared in line with principles and requirements reflected in the following AIIB Environment and Social Framework, 2016; IFC Performance Standards (2012); IFC’s Handbook on Resettlement Action Plan. 8. The document provides:

• Background on livelihoods in the area, • Report on the key findings from FGD with PAPs • Identify feasible alternative livelihood options • Specify an implementation schedule for activities and programs • Identifies the roles and responsibilities of participating actors. • Provide recommendations for implementation and follow up.

D. Approach to LRDP

9. The approach for data collection for preparation of LRDP involved both qualitative and quantitative measures. The procedural steps were as follows:

• Understanding the Livelihood Framework • Desk Review • Site Visit • Socio-economic Survey • Identification of Key Training Agencies • Community Profile • Community Need Assessment • Identification of Vulnerable Groups

• Preparation of Entitlement Matrix • Identification of Key Agencies • Formation of LRDP Management Committee

• Grievance Redressal Mechanism

E. Limitations

10. The livelihood restoration plan has been developed primarily based on the information gathered through the socio-economic survey. AECOM made all the attempts to cover all the PAPs in consultation process, many were not available at the time of scheduled consultation and many others could not be located at all. Consultants particularly faced problem in locating the non-titleholders.

F. Safeguards Requirements

11. The initial land value assessment LRDP takes into consideration the lender’s perspective of managing the safeguards issues and policy documents of the national authority. The lenders in the category of multilateral/bilateral donors emphasize not only on compensation for the land being acquired but also on the livelihood loss and compensation to the PAPs. Unlike the national laws, they also have special provisions for the vulnerable category of PAPs.

G. Socio-economic Impact

12. Survey results indicated that majority PAPs who were the titleholders, had moved to other parts of the country and few others have settled abroad. Some them were using the land for agriculture purpose on their own and didn’t engage any sharecroppers or labours to work on their land, though few others had engaged labors and still few others have given their land on lease under share cropping. Only 38 sharecroppers/labours could be identified, majority were not traceable, the information was that they have moved out of village to other unknown locations and not in contact with the owners or other villagers.

H. Respondent’s Detail

13. The total affected area surveyed had PAHHs numbering 130 titleholder and around 38 non-title holders. It was satisfying to note that none of the titleholders had become landless due to the land procurement for the project. There were no women headed household and only one household, where the owner was differently abled category. Total number of PAPs surveyed covered around 45% men and 55% women. The age range varied, from 26 to 75 years old. Majority of PAPs had no formal education, those who had, mainly completed only primary level education. Women though worked in their own agriculture fields, but normally didn’t work as agriculture labours, only men were involved working as labours in fields,

vii

Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel (Gas and HSD based) NBBL Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola Final

construction works and/or otherwise. Women were generally involved in the household chores. Due to lack of educational background PAPs could only associate themselves with jobs of guards, attendants and/or helpers. Still few had small business running in or near the village. 14. Further, out of the total of 130 project affected title holders, payment of one number of project affected person – Ms. Ranu Begum is still pending. The information is that she has moved out of the country and probably settled in some foreign country. She had sold land of area 17.5 decimal. She had received the land compensation amount, but the compensation payment for standing crops, trees and livelihood is pending due to her non-availability. The project implementers are still trying to locate her. 15. Majority of PAPs work as farmers, or as agricultural labours and few others work as helper and labours at the construction sites. It is only a small part of the produce that is sellable, most the produce is for home consumption. Paddy being the main produce followed by mustard, sesame, and some vegetables. And, few PAPs have small shops (general stores) in the village. 16. Over 50% of PAPs live in kutcha (temporary) structures, whereas around 20% of the affected households surveyed reside in pucca (concrete) houses and another 23% reside in semi pucca (semi concrete) structures. The income range of PAPs was from BDT < 50,000 to >100000 per month. 17. from nationalized banks in Bangladesh or had to approach local NGOs who provide loans. As per the survey result analysis, PAPs have taken loans for various purposes, that mainly covered health reasons, buying land/property, agriculture purpose and renovating house structure, and few others have taken loans for starting and/or improving their business. Villager were not involved in loan provisions through SHGs, there were no SHGs existing in the area.

I. Impact Assessment and Mitigation Measures

18. The land procurement has positive as well as negative impact on the PAPs, and the project implementers have tried best to mitigate all accrued problems. With the upcoming power plant, the land value in the adjacent area have increased, this apart the land compensation amount paid to the PAPs were three times more than the (then) present market rate, also compensating for loss of standing crops, trees and livelihoods. The power plant will also provide employment to the local villagers, particularly concerned PAPs. The additional payment (of compensation amount) has reinforced financial back up for PAPs and increased their investment ability. There is a possibility of impact on the local community regarding over use of local infrastructure and amenities. Influx may also result in in community conflicts, communicable disease, STDs, HIV/Aids, etc.

J. Concern for Indigenous Population, Cultural Heritage Sites and Gender

19. Since in the Bhola district of Barisal division, there are no indigenous population, no impact is envisaged on the indigenous population in the project area due to the land procurement. 20. Survey, observations, transact walk all along the project location and consultation with local people revealed that there are no such monuments or structures of cultural, heritage and religious importance that have been affected in any way by the land purchase.

21. The land purchase and the procurement process did not have any adverse impact on the project affected women or any other local women. During consultation, women PAPs indicated that they are very happy with the compensation amount they have received and satisfied with the process of disbursement. They expressed their desire to have awareness and training programs on SHG formation, micro credit facilities and micro small medium enterprises (MSMEs).

K. Consultation and Disclosure

22. NBBL has prepared a Stakeholder Engagement Plan for the Project which includes stakeholder consultation, disclosure activities and engagement exercises. 23. AECOM had covered PAPs who were land owners in the earlier phase of consultation along with concerned department officials, and in continuation to that, in the month of September 2019, the owner

absentees (earlier), sharecroppers/labors working in owner PAPs land and other government department concerned with training programs were duly consulted. 24. Key issues pointed out in the consultation and discussions were: • PAPs are happy and satisfied with the compensation amount and the way disbursement procedure was carried out.

• PAPs needed counselling and awareness on financial management/saving procedures. • Many wanted to use it for buying additional land, others wanted to start a small business, improve their farming skills and few others wanted to expand the structure and give portion on rent.

• Primarily training on starting poultry farm was highlighted, followed by cow and goat rearing. Few others opted for beautician and tailoring courses.

• Community also needs awareness on sanitation, health and social issues (particularly education promotion).

• There are local institutes and organization willing to carry out awareness and training programs under LRDP.

25. The communication process needs to be done in the following manner:

• Circulation of the draft LRDP to the lenders for comments and approval. • Final discussion with NBBL on the LRDP and incorporation of their suggestions and advises. • Communication of LRDP to the PAPs and local administration as a part of Stakeholder Engagement Consultations.

• After finalization of the LRDP by the lender, NBBL will have to share the LRDP with district authority, followed by circulation of the same to the Upazilla Chairman and Ward Councillor so that the content of LRDP is communicated to all PAPs. And the same to be uploaded in the client and lender’s website.

26. There were no grievance issues put up by any of the PAPs or their family members and/or kin, regarding the compensation amount and the disbursal mechanism.

L. Vulnerability Assessment and Required Assistance

27. Discussions and consultations revealed that none of the PAPs had become totally landless. To assess the vulnerability level of the PAPs, survey format included question to assess how much of land PAPs had and how much out of it, they had sold. Not many PAPs could provide response on this, also for the reason that since few PAPs were not available at the time of consultation and discussion, their relatives and neighbors had instead given the information, and had little information on PAP’s land selling. IFC’s understanding of vulnerable population was used to identify vulnerable population in the present context. There were no women headed households but had one PAHH where owner was differently abled.

28. The vulnerable PAPs will be provided with the following assistance:

• Relevant training programs to be planed and conducted for PAPs. • All PAPs to be included in training programs and made aware of possible benefits of the training programs. • All PAPs to be included in the awareness programs covering livelihood improvement programs, relevant government schemes, sanitation, health and other social issues.

M. Entitlement Matrix

29. The eligible PAPs will be as follows:

• PAHH with registered title and have valid property related documents. • Non-title holder also covering tenants and/or share croppers/labors residing/working on the land procured

Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel (Gas and HSD based) NBBL Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola Final

• PAPs who are losing any structure and source of livelihood due to project land and asset acquisition.

30. As mentioned earlier, the PAPs have already received monetary compensation for the loss of land, crop and livelihood, but to further mitigate the negative impact, reduce vulnerability and provide a sustainable growth, the PAPs will also be entitled to the following additional assistance:

• PAPs will be engaged in various awareness programs covering social issues, agro-based industry, on functioning as cooperatives and community groups, business possibilities etc. • PAPs will be given training on improving their skill and acumen for improving agriculture-based activities, the qualitative improvement of produce on lands, business skills, financial management, and so on. • PAPs will be provided with employment opportunities as per the available skills and project limitations.

N. CSR and Community Development Programs

31. NBBL under its CSR programs has carried out (i) distribution of scholarships, (ii) setting up tube wells in the village; and (iii) distributing educational materials. This was primarily to create awareness on importance of education and motivate villagers to attain education to the required level.

32. Following discussion and consultation with NBBL, it was decided that some of the activities to improve livelihood of the PAPs will be taken up under their CSR and/or Community Development Programs.

O. Institutional Arrangement

33. Following discussions with NBBL it was decided that, there needs to be a single tier institutional arrangement for LRDP implementation, involving Head HR and CLO, and the team to be headed by the Project Director who is also the Director in NBBL. The director will advise and oversee the entire LRDP program. The HR Manager will plan and implement the LRDP program and will be assisted by the Community Liaison Officer.

P. Livelihood Restoration Plan

34. The various components of livelihood restoration plan are as follows:

• Identifying livelihood impacts/risks following discussions and consultations with identified PAPs; • Detail out livelihood restoration measures for the affected families including special measures to support vulnerable groups with budgetary allocation for plans development, implementation and impact monitoring;

• Describe training programs, training delivery modalities and budgetary allocation; • Preparation of monitoring and reporting parameters to assess efficacy of livelihood restoration programs;

• Development of policy for employing PAPs in the project operation phase; • Collaborating with other relevant departments/institutions/organization in implementing LRDP. 35. Discussion with NBBl took into account that some of the activities under LRDP will need to be outsourced to local agencies/institutions/organizations. Programs to be covered under LRDP will be (i) Agricultural Assistance Program; (ii) Skill Enhancement and Employment Program; (iii) Training on Savings and Financial Management; underlying (iv) Gender Concerns; (v) Entrepreneurship Improvement Program; and (vi) Community Development Programs.

Q. Budget for LRDP

36. The budget for implementing LRDP is divided in two distinct parts. The first part, where livelihood improvement program will cover agricultural assistance, skill enhancement, training on financial management, utilizing a budget of BDT 13,20,000/- and a dedicated kitty fund amount of BDT 25,00,000/- will be assigned for carrying out additional livelihood improvement programs on entrepreneurship improvement and community development programs. The total expenditure on implementing LRDP will be 38,20,000/-.

R. Implementation Schedule of LRDP

37. The LRDP will be implemented in close collaboration with community members and other Stakeholders, as mentioned in the main report. As per the plan the LRDP is scheduled to takeoff in February 2020 and continue till end of year 2021.

S. Grievance Redressal

38. The grievance redressal mechanism will be managed in single tier system, as per the existing system at the project site level. The structure comprises of Project Director – Project Head – HR/Admin Head, Community Liaison Officer and two members from the community as community representatives.

39. The aggrieved PAP may directly approach the CLO and mention the grievance issue/s. The CLO assesses the problem and resolves it at his own level within 7 days and informs about the grievance issue to the site level grievance committee. If not resolved at CLO level, the matter is taken up at the GRC site level. The complainant can raise the grievance verbally or in writing at the local site office, at Bhola. Grievances of PAPs will then be put before the GRC site office. Attempt will be made to resolve the issue at the site level involving Project Director, Project Head, HR/Admin Head, Community Liaison Officer and two community members. The GRC will discuss the issue in its monthly meetings and resolve the issue within one month of receiving the grievance. In addition to the program/project level grievance redressal mechanism, all complainants will have access to the court of law at any point of time.

T. Monitoring and Evaluation

40. Two forms of monitoring, internal and external will be undertaken to assess the effectiveness and on- going progress of the LRDP. Internal monitoring will be undertaken by NBBL as prescribed in the implementation schedule. Monitoring will be a regular activity and will be the responsibility of the HR Manager who will see the timely implementation of the LRDP activities and prepare reports on the progress. External monitoring will be undertaken on an annual basis by an independent monitoring agency for the implementation of the LRDP. The quarterly monitoring reports will be submitted to the Consultant for assessment and review. The Consultant will then produce a report following its review and evaluation. The report will accordingly, be submitted to the various stakeholders such as lenders, government authorities, communities, shareholders etc. for their reference and record.

41. Evaluation is a continuous process and generally carried out mid-term and after the implementation of LRDP. Thus, it is suggested, that a midterm as well as end term evaluation of LRDP implementation be carried out. The focus of evaluation would be on desired achievements of the project goals and objectives, the performance of the institutional arrangements, process of LRDP and finally extant of PAP benefits.

The land procured for the project is entirely private land, covering around 17.43 acres. It was primarily agricultural land, common crop grown in the area is paddy. There was one individual structure which was used for keeping ducks and hens. Land was procured with the help of local facilitator based on limited negotiations.

Out of total, 130 Project Affected Households (PAHHs) who were owners/ title holders of the land, 77 PAHHs were covered for consultation and discussion while the rest were not available at the time of discussion/ site visit. It was informed by others at the project location that some of the PAPs have migrated to other parts of the country, and few other have settled abroad. Some of them were later involved in consultation for assessing their satisfaction with the disbursement procedure, and on livelihood improvement plan. There were around 50-60 sharecroppers/ non-title holders, assumed to have been affected by the land procurement for the project, of which only 38 could be identified and located. Discussion was held with them for understanding their requirement to improve their livelihood following the land procurement.

1.4 Background

NBBL had engaged AECOM India Private Limited (hereinafter referred to as ‘AECOM’) to undertake an audit of the land purchased for the project and its associated facilities and evaluation of its (direct and indirect) impacts on the land owners.

An Involuntary Resettlement Audit Report was prepared by AECOM in compliance with lender’s requirements, for assessing and evaluating whether the compensation amount calculated and paid to land sellers was in accordance with IFC Sustainability Framework, 2012 and AIIB Environment and Social Safeguards. A discrepancy was observed, following which AECOM carried out detailed survey and consultations with PAPs.

Attempt was made to – I. analyze whether the amount provided to the land sellers by NBBL was equivalent to the replacement cost of the land; II. provide a summary of the indicative budget; III. conduct an integrity check on the policies and procedures followed by NBBL in case of the purchase of land; and IV. present a plan of action to repay the due amounts to all the PAPs. A site visit was undertaken by AECOM during 23rd April to 10th May 2019, and an Audit Report was prepared and submitted to NBBL on June 2019. 1.5 Objectives The primary objective of this document is to provide a detailed plan for livelihood restoration options for the people affected by land purchase for the project. The document has been prepared in line with principles and requirements reflected in the following AIIB Environment and Social Framework, 2016; IFC Performance Standards (2012); IFC’s Handbook on Resettlement Action Plan.

The document provides: 1. Background on livelihoods in the area, 2. Report on the key findings from FGD with PAPs 3. Identify feasible alternative livelihood options 4. Specify an implementation schedule for activities and programs 5. Identifies the roles and responsibilities of participating actors. 6. Provide recommendations for implementation and follow up. 1.6 Approach to LRDP The approach for data collection for preparation of LRDP involved both qualitative and quantitative measures. The procedural steps were as follows:

• Understanding the Livelihood Framework: While planning for livelihood improvement of the villagers/ PAPs, the human capital, their social setup, existing natural system, other physical arrangements and financial investments were assessed.

• Desk Review: Project related documents were reviewed, that covered project background, ESIA report, Audit Report of June 2019 and other reports/documents that could give any information on local people and project impact on them.

• Site Visit: Site visit was undertaken where transect walk and observation helped gathering lot of information about the project impact, local conditions and local people.

• Socio-economic Survey: A socio-economic survey was carried out to gather data of the individual PAPs to understand number of households impacted by the project activities number of households impacted by the project activities, their familial and cultural background, area being impacted upon including other facilities and available infrastructure, educational and occupational pattern, poverty level, compensation negotiation, training need for livelihood improvement and grievance redressal mechanism.

• Identification of Key Training Agencies: Identification of key agencies/institutions/organizations who are directly-indirectly concerned with the project activities and can contribute in the project components. FGD

Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel (Gas and HSD based) NBBL Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola Final

was carried out with select institutions such as, Department of Youth Affairs, Women Affairs Department, Social Welfare Organization (SWO), BARAC, Poverty Removal and Awareness Network (PRAN) and Social Unity for Neighbourhood (SUN).

• Community Profile: A community profile has been created covering all PAPs, taking into consideration their education, occupation, asset owned and so on.

• Community Need Assessment: Their need assessment for improving livelihood was assessed to plan skill upgradation training programs for PAPs.

• Identification of Vulnerable Groups: Vulnerable groups amongst the affected PAPs were identified during the survey as some of the PAPs might require additional restoration and development assistance

• Preparation of Entitlement Matrix: An entitlement matrix has been prepared so that all PAPs are covered under legitimate compensation amount.

• Identification of Key Agencies: Identification of key agencies/institutions/organizations who are directly- indirectly concerned with the project activities and can contribute in the project components/activities.

• Formation of LRDP Management Committee: Formation of LRDP management committee is suggested that will take into account successful implementation and monitoring of LRDP activities.

• Grievance Redressal Mechanism: A Grievance Mechanism has been developed to receive, respond and address any complaints related to the project activities. 1.7 Limitations The livelihood restoration plan has been developed primarily based on the information gathered through the socio- economic survey.

AECOM made all the attempts to cover all the PAPs in consultation process. Though all PAPs had to be covered during consultation and discussion regarding compensation and disbursement amount, many were not available at the time of scheduled consultation with PAPs, and many others could not be located at all. Though the effort to contact them continued. AECOM could cover 77 PAPs in the first phase of consultation and in the second phase, in the month of September 2019, the absentees (PAPs) were covered along with 38 non-title holders (only those who could be identified and contacted).

A significant percentage of titleholders have moved out of the village location and Bhola district. Though few still have land and have given it on lease to sharecroppers. It was a mammoth task to contact them, finally were contacted and involved in telephonic conversation as well.

AECOM had planned to cover the non-titleholders – sharecroppers, labours and others who didn’t own the land but were directly/ indirectly affected due to the project activities. Initially it was estimated that there will be around 50-60 non-titleholders but majority of them had moved out of the village for change of job and many others on personal reasons, as a result majority of them were unable to be contacted for consultation and discussions.

AECOM shall not be held responsible for conditions or consequences arising from relevant facts that were not available during the time the survey and consultation/ discussions were conducted.

This plan has been prepared by AECOM for the benefit of its client, NBBL. AECOM’s client may release the information to third parties, who may use and rely upon the information at their discretion. However, any use of or reliance upon the information by any party shall be solely at the risk of such party and without legal recourse against AECOM, its parent, its subsidiaries and affiliates; or their respective employees, officers, or directors; regardless of whether the action in which recovery of damages is sought is based upon contract, tort (including the sole, concurrent, or other negligence and strict liability of AECOM), statute, or otherwise. 1.8 Outline of LRDP

2. Safeguards Requirements

LRDP takes into consideration the lender’s perspective of managing the safeguards issues and policy documents of the national authority. The lenders in the category of multilateral/bilateral donors emphasize not only on compensation for the land being acquired but also on the livelihood loss and compensation to the PAPs. Unlike the national laws, they also have special provisions for the vulnerable category of PAPs. 2.1 Lender’s Safeguards Requirements The applicable lender’s safeguards requirements concerning involuntary resettlement are of AIIB, IFC and IDCOL. Involuntary resettlement refers both to physical displacement (relocation or loss of home/ shelter) and to economic displacement (loss of assets or access to assets that leads to loss of income sources or other means of livelihood), caused due to land purchased for the project.

Due to the involvement of International lenders and the project land purchase resulting in economic displacement, IFC PS 5, AIIB ESS 2 is triggered regarding Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement. The requirements of the lenders apply similar principles and restoration measures, thus the relevant underlined features of all the safeguards guidelines are:

(i) to avoid any negative impact including land acquisition, and if at all that is not possible the impact should be mitigated or at least minimized. (ii) Forced eviction to be completely avoided. (iii) Mitigate the adverse social and economic impacts of land acquisition or restrictions on land use by providing compensation for loss of assets at full replacement cost. (iv) Improve, or restore, the livelihoods and standards of living of displaced persons (v) Improve living conditions among physically displaced persons through the provision of adequate housing and security of tenure at resettlement sites. (vi) Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets (vii) Ensuring that resettlement and rehabilitation activities are implemented with appropriate disclosure of information, consultation and the informed participation of all PAPs. (viii) Special provisions must be made for individuals belonging to vulnerable groups to improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups. (ix) Long term monitoring of livelihood restoration outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the livelihood restoration plan have been achieved. (x) A specific grievance redress mechanism has to be developed in order to receive, record and resolve PAP’s (3Rs) concerns. 2.2 National Safeguards Requirements

In the present context, the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Act of 2017 has been referred, the key points entail –

• Publication of preliminary notice of acquisition of immovable property. A notice to be published and put up at a strategic location on or near the location of land to be acquired, following recordings of real nature, condition and infrastructure built, crops and trees etc. therein.

• Final decision regarding acquisition. Any person concerned may raise objection to the acquisition within 15 working days of first intimation. If the land to be acquired is more than 16.5 acre, the case is referred to the Ministry of Land, else the issue is resolved at the district level. Following assessment and evaluation, the decision on acquisition by the Deputy Commissioner stands final, particularly if the land is needed for a public purpose or is in public interest.

• Notice to interested (affected) person. Once the government following assessment has decided to acquire the property and intends to take the possession, a final notice is served to the affected party.

• Matters to be considered in determining compensation. The compensation amount is calculated based on (i) the market value of the property foreseeing the value during the twelve months period preceding the date of final notice; (ii) the damage caused to the standing crops and trees; (iii) any form of damage to the

Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel (Gas and HSD based) NBBL Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola Final

affected person or his connecting property/ies due to land acquisition; (iv) reasonable expenses to be considered if PAP is compelled to change his residence/business.

• Compensation amount to include 200 per centum of the market value, and 300 per centum if the land is acquired for any non-government person, and in case of injuries occur during acquisition additional 100 per centum compensation shall be paid.

• Apart from paying the compensation amount, measures to be taken to rehabilitate the PAPs/PAHH.

• Payment of compensation to bargadhar2. When in such properties there are standing crops and trees, the due compensation amount calculated by the Deputy Commissioner shall be paid to the bargadhar.

2 Bargadhar means a person who under the system generally known as adhi, barga or bhag cultivates the land of another person on condition of delivering a share of produce of such land to the person. 2.3 Gap between Lender’s Policies and Local Laws The National Policy unlike the lenders requirement takes into consideration only compensating for the land to be acquired, and at the present market price. Whereas, the lenders emphasize on compensating for all being affected due to the project activities, they may be title holders and/or non-title holders, they may be legal settlers or encroachers. As per lender’s compensation policy, PAPs in the non-title holders and encroachers category are not compensated for land they occupy but are compensated for the whatever was grown on the land during the time of acquisition, that may include standing crops, trees, livelihood measures as well. Table 1 indicates gaps in compensation policy of lenders, local administration and the company implementing the project.

3. Socio-economic Impact

The Table below presents details on the number of PAHHs and PAPs and extent of impact on them, on their land and livelihood. Survey results indicated that among the 130 PAHHs, many of them after selling their land have moved to other parts of the country and few others have settled abroad. There were few titleholder/owners who were using the land for agriculture purpose on their own and didn’t engage any sharecroppers or labours to work on their land. This accounted for around 11.11%. On the other hand, around 7.64% of PAPs were owners who also engaged labours to work on their land. Only 38 sharecroppers/labours could be identified, majority were not traceable, the information was that they have moved out of village to other unknown locations and not in contact with the owners or other villagers.

Table 3: Socio-Economic Impact Assessment

3.1 Respondent’s Detail

The total affected area surveyed had PAHHs numbering 130 titleholder and around 38 non-title holders. It was satisfying to note that none of the titleholders had become landless due to the land procurement for the project, rather approximately 65% owners still have land and around 35% bought or were planning to buy additional land from the compensation amount received, (this approximation was gathered from PAPs while discussing land retained issue).

There were no women headed household and only one household, where the owner was differently abled category. The average family size was 4-6 members in a household. Though there were few families with members from 10 to 15 residing in the same household.

Total number of PAPs surveyed covered around 45% men and 55% women. The age range varied, from 26 to 75 years old. There were approx.184 male children and 235 female children (below 18 years of age) in the project affected area. Majority of PAPs had no formal education, those who had, mainly completed only primary level education. PAPs falling in the higher age group from 55 to 70 were totally uneducated, PAPs of the younger generation at least had primary education. A significant percentage of family members were dependant (approx. 67%) on the property owner, this includes number of housewives, aged in the family and children below 18 years age. Women though worked in their own agriculture fields, but normally didn’t work as agriculture labours, only men were involved working as labours in fields, construction works and/or otherwise. Women were generally involved in the household chores. Due to lack of educational background PAPs could only associate themselves with jobs of guards, attendants and/or helpers. Still few had small business running in or near the village. There were around 84% workers and 16% non-workers in the PAHHs. Members of few PAHHs were also involved in subsidiary occupation apart from the main, that was mostly working in agriculture fields or agriculture labours, and few others were working as construction labors or helpers/assistants in the shops or small business set ups.

A significant number of PAPs who sold their land/s had moved to other parts of the country and have given the land on sharecropping. Few other PAPs have migrated to other countries. Those remained in the village, few of them

Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel (Gas and HSD based) NBBL Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola Final were planning to buy additional land in the same vicinity and few others moved and started working on alternative land areas that they had. PAPs falling in the highly vulnerable category were the sharecroppers and/or the labours who worked on other’s land. The familial set up in the region is such that all (generally) live in the same vicinity, may be sometimes in the same structure but maintain separate kitchen and family budget spent for the particular family, and the old, disabled and small children are taken care by others.

Further, out of the total of 130 project affected title holders, payment of one number of project affected person – Ms. Ranu Begum is still pending. The information is that she has moved out of the country and probably settled in some foreign country. She had sold land of area 17.5 decimal. She had received the land compensation amount, but the compensation payment for standing crops, trees and livelihood is pending due to her non-availability. The project implementers are still trying to locate her. 3.2 Occupation Pattern Rice being staple food for the local area paddy cultivation was widely taken up by the farmers. This was the major crop cultivated in both seasons – the paddy variety cultivated were ‘Iri’ and ‘Aamon’. Not many could produce enough quantity to sell it in market, the produce was primarily consumed by the householders. Survey result indicated that only 19% (approx.) could sell the produce (mainly mustard, sesame and very little of paddy) in markets. There is also a significant number of PAPs who work as agr 3.3 Structure and Assets Owned

Around 20% of the affected households surveyed reside in pucca (concrete) houses while 23% reside in semi pucca (semi concrete) structures and 57% in kutcha structures. Majority of structures were built using tin walls, tinned roof and mud flooring. And number of rooms each house had was 2-4 rooms. Survey analysis revealed that PAPs either after selling their lands had move out of villages and settled in other parts of the country or settled in the same village. Those remained in the villages had basic provision like electricity (around 92%), in-house water connection (around 87%), community water resources (around 79%) like community pond, tube well and hand pump and other basic provisions, whereas around 37% households use kerosene/oil for lighting purposes, around 91% households use firewood for cooking and only 09% have LPG connections. Around 94% of households have cell phones, some have more than one cell phone (23%). During the consultation PAPs informed that all have in- house toilet, mostly a pit latrine with soak pit. Villagers still were using personal and/or community ponds for bathing and carrying out other household activities.

From the survey result it was gathered that around 47% had average annual family income of less than BDT 50,000. About 28% of the affected population earn between BDT < 50,000 and >75,000. Approximately 22% of the affected households earn upto BDT 1,00,000 and only 3% earned more than BDT 1,00,000. It is noted that people earning less than 50,000 work on represented agricultural activities and are farmers. The people who earn above BDT 1,00,000 have small businesses like general stores and/or small restaurants (sweet shops).

Observation and transect walk all along the project location revealed that there was no negative impact on the existing structures – residential, commercial or any other in the acquired land area for the project. Neither there was any negative impact on any others the assets owned by the PAPs or villagers in general.

Majority PAPs had hens and ducks (around 59%) as livestock, few had cows (11%) and goats (05%), and around 25% had no domestic animals. 3.4 Expenditure Details The primary surveys show that, the expenditure amount of PAPs on education is almost negligible. A significant amount was spent on food followed by clothing. Infrastructure expenditure was varied at owners as well as sharecropper’s/ labour’s level, similar expenditure pattern was observed for transportation. The expenditure on electricity is varied to a lot extent. Electricity usage depended on the size of the house structure and electrical gadgets is use. The average monthly expenditure was in the range of BDT 500 to 1500. Expenditure on social functions (per month) barely crossed BDT 100 for majority. The expenditure on health sector was occasional, and generally found to be very low.

3.5 PAP’s Indebtedness Villagers sometimes had to take loans from nationalized banks in Bangladesh or had to approach local NGOs who provide loans. As per the survey result analysis, around 37 titleholders have taken loans for various purposes, that mainly covered health grounds, buying land/property, agriculture purpose and renovating house structure. Another significant number of PAPs (titleholders as well as non-titleholders) have taken loans for starting and/or improving their business. Non-title holders numbering 11, primarily took loans for health reasons and marriage in the family. Around 49% took loans from the nationalized banks like Sonali, Rupali, Janata, Agrani and Islami Banks and others, around 51% took loans from Microfinance Institute/ NGOs like Grameen, BARAC and ASHA. Out of the total of 48 loan takers only 1 from titleholders have repaid and from among non-titleholders 5 have repaid the loan amount. Villager were not involved in loan provisions through SHGs, there were no SHGs existing in the area.

3.6 PAP Involvement in SHGs and Micro Finance Cooperatives Discussions with PAPs revealed that they were not aware of the micro-finance schemes involving SHGs at community level. They had no idea of how being part of SHGs and community groups they can run small businesses and/or earn livelihood. PAPs, particularly women were eager to know about SHG functioning system. PAPs informed that the interest rates they pay to money lenders is burdensome, even to cooperative banks such as BARAC and ASHA (NGO based micro-finance institutes). The interests paid on loan amounts is approximately 8% to 10.5%. PAPs agreed that paying off loans through SHGs could be a better option. There are around 33.33% who have taken loans from either banks or micro-finance institutes. Around 12.5% have been able to clear their debts and the rest are still struggling to pay the loan or stuck with repaying the interest in parts. 3.7 Impact Assessment and Mitigation Measures

There can be additional impacts of the project during each of its stages – construction, operation and decommissioning, and the impact will not only be socio-economic impacts but also on bio-physical environment and on health and safety.

Table 4: Impact Assessment and Mitigation Measures

Area of Impact Impact Type Mitigation Measures Concern Indicators 1 Land Procurement of Negative Three times of market value of land land value provided Positive Plant establishment will increase the land value Land value Positive Establishment of power plant in the area will increase the land value, particularly in the plant surrounding areas Crops and Trees Negative Crop and produce value estimated and compensation paid Bio-diversity and Negative Proper barricading will be done to Vegetation loss protect adjacent lands, care will be taken to minimize impact of spill over materials, any serious impact due compensation will be paid 2 Livelihood Employment Positive Locals will get job opportunities during opportunity construction work and at the power plant Financial backup Positive Compensation amount received by the for PAPs PAPs has improved economic position of families.

3.8 Concern for Indigenous Population

Since in the Bhola district of Barisal division, there are no indigenous population, hence no impact is envisaged on the indigenous population in the project area due to the land procurement. 3.9 Cultural and Heritage Sites Survey, observations, transact walk all along the project location and consultation with local people revealed that there are no such monuments or structures of cultural, heritage and religious importance that have been affected in any way by the land purchase.

3.10 Gender Concerns

The land purchase and the procurement process did not have any adverse impact on the project affected women or any other local women. During consultation, women PAPs indicated that they are very happy with the compensation amount they have received and satisfied with the process of disbursement. They expressed their desire to have awareness and training programs on SHG formation, micro credit facilities and micro small medium enterprises (MSMEs).

4. Consultations and Disclosures

This section covers reviewing the consultations done earlier with PAPs to assess the impact and possible mitigation measures. Discussions held with district officials of concerned departments were also reviewed. In addition, consultations and discussions were carried out with other relevant stakeholders involving PAPs – title holders and non-title holders, training institutes/ organizations and concerned government department officials. See Appendix A for list of stakeholders.

NBBL has prepared a Stakeholder Engagement Plan for the Project which includes stakeholder consultation, disclosure activities and engagement exercises.

AECOM had covered PAPs who were land owners in the earlier phase of consultation along with concerned department officials, and in continuation to that, in the month of September 2019, the owner absentees (earlier), sharecroppers/labors working in owner PAPs land and other government department concerned with training programs were duly consulted. 4.1 Purpose of Stakeholder Consultations Consultations and discussions are carried out with relevant stakeholders and particularly with the PAPs so that their involvement in project activities is assured. Involvement develops a sense of belongingness and thus ownership for the project outcome, and this increases the sustainability of project components. Consultations are undertaken to:

• gather information from PAPs and significant others to asses the project impact on them and vice versa. • asses need and priorities of PAPs and affected communities for effective planning of LRDP • prepare an effective LRDP that would best support the life and livelihood of the PAPs 4.2 Consultation and Participation

NBBL along with AECOM has undertaken several consultations with various stakeholders such as affected communities and local administration during the LRDP preparation phase. The key stakeholders involved in consultation and discussions were –

• Head of households and/or other members of the family of the affected families (covered owners as well as sharecroppers).

• Head of households and/or other members of the families likely to be affected.

• Concerned government departments

• Training Institutes involved in livelihood development programs

• NGOs working in local area

• Women and youths of the village 4.3 Approach to Consultation and Participation The following techniques and instruments were used to undertake stakeholder consultations and discussions: • One to one discussion, use of questionnaire and FGD with relevant stakeholders • Transect walk and observations • Photography

A sample questionnaire has been annexed at Appendix B

Consultations and discussions were held with relevant stakeholders as mentioned above, by NBBL and AECOM ensuring open views and transparent thoughts of the PAPs and other villagers. Government department official

Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel (Gas and HSD based) NBBL Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola Final and training institutes were consulted to assess the training facilities they can provide to PAPs for improving their livelihood. The meetings and discussion contents are presented in the table below:

4.4 Focused Group Discussion FGD was also carried out with group of villagers who were earlier involved in Socio Economic Status survey in April 2019. The purpose of consulting them was to gather more information on their requirement under Livelihood Restoration Development Plan (LRDP). Along with them, non-title holders who were working on other’s land as sharecroppers were also involved in consultations and discussions regarding – how they want to utilize the compensation amount they have received; also the fact that the land they were working on is now sold so what livelihood options they are looking for; discussion was also on possible skill improvement and/or capacity building program they (PAPs) would like to get involved in. Majority of PAPs wanted advises and suggestions on how best they can invest the money so that they are able to earn out of it. As indicated in the discussion with PAPs individually and in the FGD need for training to start small scale business and improved farming was most highlighted. Majority PAPs wanted to invest in poultry farming followed by cow and goat rearing. Few women PAPs and other villagers indicated interest for training in stitching and tailoring. There were few more who wanted to undertake course on beautician and computer education.

4.5 Disclosure Requirement In-accordance with the lender’s guidelines, to maintain clarity and transparency in all project activities consultations and disclosures of project activities and plan documents at regular intervals become essential. The communication process needs to be done in the following manner –

• Circulation of the draft LRDP to the lenders for comments and approval.

• Final discussion with NBBL on the LRDP and incorporation of their suggestions and advises. • Communication of LRDP to the PAPs and local administration as a part of Stakeholder Engagement Consultations.

5. Vulnerability Assessment and Required Assistance

Vulnerable category of PAPs includes women, the very poor, further classified under special categories such as Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled Castes, the socially marginalised, differently abled physically and/or mentally, who may be limited in their understanding and capability to claim or take benefits from the resettlement assistance being provided by the project implementers1.

Source: IFC Handbook

5.1 Vulnerability Assistance of PAPs A socio-economic baseline survey was conducted to asses the impact of project land acquisition as well as extent of vulnerability of the PAPs. The baseline survey results indicated that approximately 37% of the affected population fall within the vulnerable category, with around 19% belonging to the category of old age (above the age of 60 years old). There are no women headed households but around 05% are widow PAPs. Around 69.60% are children under the age of 18 years (where 43.9% were boys and 56.1% were girls). Out of the total interviewed PAPs only two PAPs were identified as differently abled, where one PAP is now settled in Dhaka and runs his business, and the other a boy of 17 years old and slightly deaf and dumb lives with the family in village. The project site has majority of Muslim population, that stands at 92% and Hindu population around 08%.

Discussions and consultations revealed that none of the PAPs had become totally landless. PAPs falling in the highly vulnerable category were the sharecroppers and/or the labours who worked on other’s land. They had no say in land selling and had lost their livelihood. They had to search for job and resettle themselves at the work place. Majority of the sharecroppers and agriculture labours had moved away from the location as soon as need for land procurement was declared. Though in the Audit Report of June 2019, it was reported that assumed number of sharecroppers/labours/non-titleholders are 50 to 60, only 38 were contacted for consultation, as reported many were not traceable.

The impacts in terms of loss of land and correspondingly on livelihood due to the project can have adverse impact on PAPs and particularly on vulnerable affected population. People in the vulnerable category are assumed to get affected even more due to factors such as lack of access to basic services, lack of knowledge of development schemes, lack of purchasing power capacity etc. It becomes responsibility of the project implementers to help them maintain and restore their life standards and livelihood as was before the project implementation or better. 5.2 Assistance to Vulnerable PAPs

A Vulnerable Assistance Programme is to be planned and implemented as part of the LRDP, that will support the PAPs in improving and sustaining their livelihood. The vulnerable households have been identified following the survey analysis. Table 6: Vulnerable PAPs

Sl. No. Vulnerable PAPs Number Affected % of Vulnerable PAP 1 Women Headed Households 00 00 2 Differently abled PAPs 02 0.76 3 Unemployed Men (in the age range of 18 to 55 years) 10 3.82 4 Unemployed Women (in the age range of 18 to 50 115 41.89 years) 5 Men PAPs 55 to > 60 years and dependant on 01 0.38 family/others

The vulnerable PAPs will be provided with the following assistance:

• Majority PAPs do not have awareness on what sort of trainings they can undertake to improve their livelihood, though few PAPs could suggest their interest areas. All PAPs to be made aware of possible training programs and possible benefits out of it.

• Relevant training programs to be planed and conducted for PAPs, particularly unemployed youths covering both men and women. Training programs to be planned should be as per the local requirement and as suggested by the PAPs and their representatives. Some of the PAPs, particularly women will need to be motivated to undertake relevant skill improvement / capacity building programs.

• Poverty and unawareness regarding education had significantly contributed in high drop out rates in the project location, particularly for girl children. Among PAPs only very few had gone for higher education, percentage going for higher education was significantly low. Majority villagers, both boys and girls mainly completed only primary education. The present generation falling in the age group of 15 to 20 were found not completing even the middle level. Following NBBL’s CSR activities, similar education supportive programs need to be planned and implemented covering scholarship distribution and school kit - uniforms, books and stationaries will have to be distributed to local children.

• During consultation, it was pointed out that some of the PAPs are widow, senior citizens where some are very old, others had disabled family members with little or no capacity to earn their livelihood and they need livelihood support. For this category of PAPs, an assistance in terms of disbursement of special allowance as a Pension Fund, Widow Fund and Disability Fund may be planned to be provided to the respective PAPs, one time or for a fixed period of time, during the project tenure, as part of community welfare program from a dedicated kitty fund of amount BDT 20,00000/- by NBBL. The aged category may include men above 60 years and women who have crossed 55 years also to be included in the assistance plan.

• PAPs to be provided with job opportunities to the extent possible. It was observed that majority of PAPs are not educated enough to be offered jobs other than of security guards, helpers, cleaners, house maids etc. They need to be covered in the awareness and skill improvement training programs in the areas of their interest and capability.

• Villagers lack awareness on sanitation and good health measures. Health checkup initiatives may be planned and conducted at the project location covering infants/child health, family planning, pre-natal/post-natal care, adolescent health, elderly health and on general health and hygiene, under NBBL CSR and/or community welfare program. PAPs will also need awareness on health and sanitation and other social issues such as importance of education, girl’s marriage age, savings/financial management etc.

6. Eligibility and Entitlement Matrix 6.1 Eligibility As per Bangladesh National law and lender’s policy, only registered owners are entitled for compensation for the land that has been purchased for the project purpose. The non-title holders only get compensation for the loss of livelihood. This means that all affected by land purchase are eligible to be covered in the LRDP. Eligibility is extended to each member of the PAHHs, for obvious reason that it is not only the owner, but the entire family gets affected by land acquisition.

The eligible PAPs will be as follows:

• PAHH with registered title and have valid property related documents. • Non-title holder also covering tenants and/or share croppers/labors residing/working on the land procured • PAPs who are losing any structure and source of livelihood due to project land and asset acquisition.

6.2 Cut-off Date for Eligibility

The cut-off date for eligibility is the date on which PAPs/PAHHs have been identified for being affected by the land buying plan and become the essential part of LRDP. In case of further requirement for land a, the eligibility and cut- off date for eligibility will be revised. As per the final cut-off date at present there are 130 PAPs. 6.3 Entitlement Matrix The monetary compensation, the payment as per loss of land area along with loss of standing crops, trees and loss of livelihood has already been paid to the PAPs, as was prescribed in the Audit Report of June 2019.

Background for Audit Report:

An Audit Report was prepared at the behest of the lender, following grievances raised by PAPs that the land value compensated was not as per the market rate, and, also it didn’t consider the loss of standing crops, trees and loss of livelihood on the land procured. The report covered reassessment of the loss and corresponding compensation amount. Following approval of the Report, due payments were made to all 130 PAPs. The disbursement procedure was finally completed in end Sept. 2019. (1 number PAP is still left to be paid, as she is out of country and with repeat attempts the PAP could not be traced so far).

The entitlement matrix becomes the base document to plan and structure distribution of compensation amount to the PAPs for the loss of land and livelihood due to the project activities. It underlines prioritized involvement of PAPs as per the impact of land acquisition on their life and livelihood. The process begins by assessing project impact on assets and economic activities based on the assets and corresponding impact on the individual owner of the asset who then becomes the potential affected person and is entitled to an appropriate compensation package. The matrix typically covers the type of impact, eligibility criteria, compensation requirement, development assistance and additional benefits to PAPs/PAHHs.

As mentioned earlier, the PAPs have already received monetary compensation for the loss of land, crop and livelihood, but to further mitigate the negative impact, reduce vulnerability and provide a sustainable growth, the PAPs will also be entitled to the following additional assistance:

7. CSR and Community Development Programs by NBBL

NBBL is committed to initiating welfare programs for the local communities in the project area, that will contribute in improving their standards of living of PAPs. The company is yet to develop a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy, however, the CSR activities initiated by the company aims to contribute to the social, health and economic development of the community. 7.1 Areas of Intervention at Community Level

NBBL under its CSR programs has carried out (i) distribution of scholarships, (ii) setting up tube wells in the village; and (iii) distributing educational materials. See Appendix C. This was primarily to create awareness on importance of education and motivate villagers to attain education to the required level. Baseline survey results indicated that villagers lack motivation to going in for higher education, school drop out rate was quite high, at best people attained only primary education and only few pothers completed middle level education. Even there was no strict monitoring for start of school age, children of age 5 to 8 years were found in Standard 1. Secondly, villagers have the habit of spitting at random location, apart from this, spitting betel leaf extracts is common practice among locals, villagers will need awareness on sanitation practices and good health. It will be of utmost necessity to provide awareness on saving money and planning better financial management and also securing family income for future support.

NBBL, though already has been involved in promoting education and safe drinking water among the villagers, much more needs to be done in creating awareness on social issues and livelihood improvement measures for them. As part of the livelihood improvement plan, NBBL is exploring possibility of undertaking stitching courses for women PAPs/other villagers. 7.2 Need Assessment for Community Development Programs

Focused group discussions were held with PAPs and other villagers, to identify specific awareness and training needs of the locals, to develop an action plan for community development programs during the project cycle. It is important to motivate and encourage engagement of locals in the local area development, involving and letting locals participate develops a sense of ownership among them and ensures long term sustainability of the project outcomes. Awareness and training programs requirement by the villagers are presented in Table 8. Activities to improve livelihood directly are to be carried out utilising budget dedicated for livelihood improvement program, and the other suggested cross-cutting issues to be carried out utilising the kitty fund year marked for community welfare programs.

8. Institutional Arrangement Plan

An institutional arrangement is planned for smooth implementation of LRDP. This requires identification and engagement of relevant institution that will facilitate smooth implementation and achievements of the objectives of the LRDP Program. In the present context a two-tier institutional arrangement was suggested, but suggestions from the client indicated that since NBBL, the concerned authority is a small set up such an arrangement may not work; hence a single tier system was designed with intermittent quarterly monitoring by an external source was suggested.

This section presents the institutional arrangements and reflects the implementation procedures for LRDP.

The LRDP implementation will be carried out by NBBL involving Head HR and CLO, and the team to be headed by the Project Director who is also the Director in NBBL.

The director will advise and oversee the entire LRDP program. The HR Manager will plan and implement the LRDP program and will be assisted by the Community Liaison Officer.

The schematic diagram of the LRDP institutional structure is presented below:

Figure 4. Institutional Structure for LRDP

NBBL may also decide to collaborate and merge development initiatives and awareness – training programs with the local administration. A brief on district level departments and other training institutes and organizations are presented in the Table below.

9. Livelihood Restoration Plan 9.1 Components of LRDP The various components of livelihood restoration plan are as follows:

• Identifying livelihood impacts/risks following discussions and consultations with identified PAPs;

• Detail out livelihood restoration measures for the affected families including special measures to support vulnerable groups with budgetary allocation for plans development, implementation and impact monitoring;

• Describe training programs, training delivery modalities and budgetary allocation;

• Preparation of monitoring and reporting parameters to assess efficacy of livelihood restoration programs;

• Development of policy for employing PAPs in the project operation phase;

• Collaborating with other relevant departments/institutions/organization in implementing LRDP. 9.2 Livelihood Improvement Options

The section here outlines options to improve livelihood of the PAPs. Discussions and consultations were carried out with PAPs for identifying livelihood improvement activities, as per thoughts, suggestions and requirement of PAPs. The table below presents option as suggested by PAPs/villagers following discussion with project implementers. The livelihood restoration options provide a wide array of activities that can restore livelihoods for short term and long term, especially for people whose livelihood depends mainly on the land produce and those who have no alternate source of income. Anyhow the long-term livelihood restoration options are to be prioritized.

The program purpose, each program components, their procedures, along with beneficiaries and who will be the responsible authorities are presented in Table 10.

11. Grievance Redressal

LRDP grievance redress mechanism will be established to evaluate and facilitate the resolution of concerns, complaints and grievances of PAPs, particularly in connection to the livelihood restoration and development efforts. The GRM will aim to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve problem issues linked to the program. 11.1 Structure of GRC The grievance redressal mechanism will be managed in single tier system. This is the existing system at the project site level. This GRC being a requirement for LRDP, the major involvement will be of a social/community specialist position. The GRC structure is presented below:

Figure 5: Grievance Redressal Cell Structure for LRDP

11.2 Grievance Redressal Mechanism

The affected PAP may directly approach the CLO and mention the grievance issue/s to him. The CLO assesses the problem situation and resolves it at his own level within 7 days period but has to inform about the grievance issue to the site level grievance committee. If not resolved by the CLO, the matter is taken up at the GRC site level. The project affected persons / aggrieved party can raise their grievance verbally or in writing at the local site office, at Bhola. Grievances of PAPs will then be put before the GRC site office, who can resolve the issue at the site level constituted for the purpose, involving Project Director, Project Head, HR/Admin Head, Community Liaison Officer and two community members. The GRC shall discuss the issue in its monthly meeting and resolve the issue within one month of receiving the grievance.

In addition to the program/project level grievance redressal mechanism, all complainants will have access to the court of law at any point of time.

Community Liaison Officer will have significant role to play. He will be the responsible person to collect and register the grievance issue, also has to monitor implementation of the process of redressal and attaining a resolution of the grievance, adhering to the timeline required in each step and criteria in escalation of the case to the higher level. The contact details of the Grievance committee members shall be maintained and updated in the following format and be displayed at strategic locations, easily viewed by public in general. Table below presents the format for contact details of GRC members:

Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel Nutan Bidyut (Bangladesh) Limited (Gas and HSD based) Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola

Figure 7. Grievance Redressal Mechanism

Following are the formats for managing contact details of GRC, documenting complaints and preparation of grievance register.

Grievance Redressal Committee Members SN Names Phone Number Email (same to be written in local language) 1 Project Director 2 Project Head 3 HR / Admin Head 4 Community Liaison Officer 5 Member 1 from Community 6 Member 2 from Community

Additional points to be kept in mind while managing grievance redressal – - If any complainant wishes to remain anonymous, he/she can write down the grievances and drop in the available grievance box;

- Secured grievance boxes shall be placed at the gate of the project office, and at strategic locations in and around the project location;

12. Monitoring and Evaluation of LRDP

Monitoring and Evaluation are the critical activities in assessing the extent of achievements of livelihood restoration and development objectives. It is a periodic assessment of planned activities providing inputs facilitating changes, feedbacks and directions to activities. On the other hand, evaluation is an activity aimed at assessing whether the activities have actually achieved their intended goals and purposes. This section delineates the monitoring and evaluation arrangements under the project for the LRDP implementation.

On completion of LRDP implementation, a completion report will be submitted to the Lender by NBBL. 12.1 Monitoring Two forms of monitoring, internal and external will be undertaken to assess the effectiveness and on-going progress of the LRDP. Internal monitoring will be undertaken by NBBL as prescribed in the implementation schedule. The activities to be monitored and responsible agency is presented in Table 11. One of the major roles of NBBL will be to conduct monitoring of activities and evaluating the outcome at regular intervals. Monitoring will be a regular activity and will be the responsibility of the HR Manager who will see the timely implementation of the LRDP activities and prepare reports on the progress.

The report will be submitted to Director NBBL the same will be incorporated in the Quarterly Report to assess the progress and results of LRDP implementation. The monitoring will include planning, implementation, feedback, problem issues, grievances, maintenance of individual PAP files, community relationships, minutes of consultations etc. After reviewing, the same will be submitted to the Lender and external auditors (when engaged) for review.

External monitoring will be undertaken on an annual basis by an independent monitoring agency for the implementation of the LRDP. The quarterly monitoring reports will be submitted to the Consultant for assessment and review. The Consultant will then produce a report following its review and evaluation. The report will accordingly, be submitted to the various stakeholders such as lenders, government authorities, communities, shareholders etc. for their reference and record. 12.2 Evaluation

Evaluation is a continuous process and generally carried out mid-term and after the implementation of LRDP. Thus, it is suggested, that a midterm as well as end term evaluation of LRDP implementation be carried out. The focus of evaluation would be on desired achievements of the project goals and objectives, the performance of the institutional arrangements, process of LRDP and finally extant of PAP benefits 12.3 Indicators for Monitoring and Evaluation The progress, monitoring and evaluation indicators of the LRDP implementation will include the process adopted, physical and financial progress achieved, social well-being and economic improvement. The monitoring and evaluation of LRDP implementation will be undertaken through consultations, review of grievance appeals, interviews and formal and informal discussions with the stakeholders on the process adopted and change in the standard of living of affected persons and communities before and after LRDP implementation. The indicators for monitoring and evaluation is presented below: 12.3.1 Monitoring Indicators The following indicators will be monitored to track the progress of LRDP implementation,

• Process Indicators: This will indicate project inputs, expenditures, staff deployment etc. • Output Indicators: This will indicate results in terms of number of affected persons compensated and training held, etc.

Livelihood Restoration and Development Plan for 225 MW Dual Fuel Nutan Bidyut (Bangladesh) Limited (Gas and HSD based) Combined Cycle Power Plant - Bhola

• Outcome Indicators: This will measure the level of achievement of the immediate project objective, the overall observable changes in performance, behaviour or resource status that should occur as a result of LRDP implementation.

• Impact Indicators: This will relate to the long-term effect, change of state or improved living conditions of PAPs towards which the project is making a contribution.

• Assumption Indicators: This will measure the fundamental circumstances which may counteract, or at least delay the attainment of results. Data collected from the socio-economic and agro-ecological baseline survey will serve as the benchmark for measuring and evaluating the success of LRDP implementation. NBBL will undertake monitoring of LRDP implementation. Regular progress reports will be prepared and submitted to NBBL management by Environment and Social Group. The internal monitoring will look at inputs, processes and outcomes of compensation/ other impact mitigation measures.

Input Monitoring will establish staff, organization, finance, equipment, supplies and other inputs that are on schedule in the requisite of quantity and quality.

Process Monitoring will assess the program implementation strategies and methodologies and the capacity and capability of program management personnel to effectively implement and manage the programs and document lessons learnt and best practices and provide recommendations to strengthen the design and implementation of LRDP. Output Monitoring will establish if agree outputs are realized on time for,

• Communication with the affected communities; • Livelihood program delivery and uptake; • Grievance resolution; and • Attention to vulnerable people. Outcome Monitoring will determine the degree to which the programme objectives and performance targets have been achieved. 12.3.2 Evaluation Process NBBL will use an independent consultant to conduct mid-term evaluation of the LRDP implementation and compliance with objectives, procedures, policies, laws and regulations. The Evaluator will be an independent consultant with experience in the conduct of livelihood restoration planning.

The LRDP implementation activity outcomes to be evaluated are presented in Table 11

These criteria will include access to employment, livelihood restoration and enterprise, health and nutrition, infrastructural development and socio-economic upliftment. Vulnerable persons will be particularly focussed upon and the methods for assisting them will be assessed. The grievance mechanism will be evaluated as per the directives mentioned in the Environment and Social Management System. 12.3.3 Evaluation Schedule The schedule for independent evaluation of LRDP implementation will take place six months following completion of LRDP implementation.
