The owner of the projects and the implementing agency of the resettlement action plan is The Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA). The plan is prepared through a consultative process with key stakeholders; ERA, local governments and the project affected people. Project Description and Justification The road is 193 km long and is currently unpaved. The road provides an important east-west link between the two primary north-south arterial roads in the northern part of Tigray. Currently the road is in bad condition with the Telford base exposed in many areas. Frequent ruts and deformation of the pavement were observed Factors supporting the proposed upgrading of this road to asphalt road include the importance of the east-west linkage provided by the road, the difficulties associated with travelling in the mountainous area during the wet season as well as dust, and during rainy periods mud, present the major problems to travellers along this road. The road projects will stimulate economic and traffic growth in the project area. In spite of the socio-economic benefits , previous experiences revealed that road projects have adverse social effects . In rehabilitation / upgrading projects the impacts are caused by widening, temporary diversions, borrow areas, etc. Unless the adverse effects are mitigated they lead to negative socio-economic and environmental impacts. Description of Project Area & Social Aspects There are 8 towns (Adiabun / Adwa; same) with population ranging from 6000 - 50,000. The density of population in Tigray Region is about 75 persons per square km. The terrain of the road is 29 km flat / rolling, 50 km of hilly and 114 km of mountainous. The Economy In the Project areas, the predominant economic activity is agriculture. The project area grows subsistence crops mainly cereals, pulses and trees. Livestock is also an important economic activity. Cattle, sheep and goats are the main animals. The area is weak economically. There is one pharmaceutical in Adigat and textile industry in Adwa town. Abay Engineering 4 RAP; Adigrat-Shire /Indasilase Final Report Human resource Labour is plentiful. The average household size is 5. 50% of the population is under 40 years old, indicating a high -birth rate. Employment is almost exclusively agriculture in the project area with limited opportunity in petty trades. Other occupations include shops, transportation, town labourers. Land tenure: All land belongs to the state. Each household have their own private land holding (use right) and uses it privately. In addition households in common use grazing lands. Land can not be sold or bought. It can be redistributed by the local government / kebele farmers association in some cases. In practice descendents inherit the land use right. Given the fact that population is increasing land per capita is decreasing. At present the average land holding is about 0.5 hectare per household. Land re-allocation is possible but without enough land it is difficult to achieve any goal. Agricultural land The land is generally degraded and poor, with an average cereal yield of 10 quintals per/ hectare. But there are limited fertile areas and irrigated lands. All arable land is cultivated and there is a shortage of agricultural land. Grazing Land Grazing lands are usually not cultivated and are used in communally for grazing. Livestock is the second important economic activity after agriculture. Housings and other structures The houses in the area are all private owned. The majority of the houses are mud houses with wood walls. There are some hollow block , brick houses, stone and concrete houses. Leeal Framework The Ethiopian Roads Authority has been re-established by Proclamation 80/1997. In the powers and duties of The Authority; Article 6.No.17 states; Determine the extent of land requiredfor its activities in the adjacency as well as surrounding of highways and conditions of use of such land by others.
