1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I.1 Project description

1. Construction of transmission line (TL) within Section 5 of NWRTLP will be carried out in Urgench, Honka, Yangiarik, Bogot, and Hazorasp districts of the Khorezm region. The total length of the transmission line in section 5 is 83,467 meters. In total 36 tension and 228 suspension towers will be built in this section of NWRTLP.

2. The State Joint-Stock Company Uzbekistan National Power Networks (UNPN) acting as the successor of the Unitary Enterprise “Uzelektrotarmoq” that was under the Joint- Stock Company Uzbekenergo (UE) is the executing agency of the NWRTLP. UNPN has been institutionally reformed by Presidential Decree #4249 on 27 March 2019 and currently affiliated to the Ministry of Energy. The draft Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared by UNPN based on the preliminary design in March 2015. According to draft LARP the NWRTLP was classified as Category B for involuntary resettlement.

3. This updated LARP for section 5 covers the assessment of impacts associated with permanent land acquisition for construction of TL towers and temporary land acquisition for stringing the conductor cables of TL based on the final design. Aside from an assessment of impacts, this LARP provides an assessment of compensation to the affected persons and affected households, implementation arrangement, grievance mechanism, and monitoring and reporting in compliance with policies, laws, and regulations of Uzbekistan, and the policies of the ADB as described in the Safeguard Policy Statement (2009).

4. ADB approved the request from UNPN in 2018 to split Components 1 and 2 of the Project into several sections to accelerate the construction works. As a result, the project was split into eight sections as shown in Table 1.1 below. Table 1.1: The division of the NWRTLP Section LAR and Actions Involuntary needed resettlement Section 1: The power line section between Takhiatash TPP and 1st river-crossing of the YES Resettlement Plan transmission line with the Amudarya River submitted (Republic of Karakalpakstan)

Section 2 (Part 2A): The power line section NO Social Due between 1st river-crossing of the transmission Diligence Report line with the Amudarya River and Tension Tower submitted 25 (Republic of Karakalpakstan)

Section 2 (Part 2B): The power line section YES Resettlement Plan between Tension Tower 25 and 2nd river- submitted crossing of the transmission line with the Amudarya River (Republic of Karakalpakstan)

Current Section 5: The power line section between YES Resettlement Plan “Khorezm” Substation and 3rd river-crossing of is being prepared the transmission line with the Amudarya River for this section (Khorezm region)

Section 6: The power line section between the YES Resettlement Plan 3rd river-crossing of the transmission line with submitted Amudarya River and Sarimay Switchyard (Khorezm region and Karakalpakstan) Social Due Section 7: Sarimay Switchyard (Khorezm region) NO Diligence Report submitted

5. This updated LARP is for the subproject “Section 5 - The power line section between “Khorezm” Substation and 3rd river-crossing of the transmission line with the Amudarya River (Khorezm region)”. Hereinafter referred to as in this document as Section 5.

Figure 1.1: Location of Section 5

6. As described in figure 1.1 above, the power line route of section 5 starts from the Tension Tower 1 right after the Khorezm substation (section 4) and ends with Tension Tower 37 near to 3rd river-crossing of the Amudarya River.

7. This updated LARP was prepared by Resettlement Expert from July to November 2019. It provides a final impact assessment of section 5 of NWRTLP and compensation/rehabilitation measures. DMS/IOL for section 5 was based on the final design prepared by the Design Institute – Sredazenergosetproject within 2016-2018. The reports of DMS/IOL were prepared by the regional branches of Uzdavyerloyiha (State land design institute) of Khorezm in June - July 2019.

I.2 Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

8. The census in Section 5 of Khorezm region was conducted from 10 July to 02 August 2019 by the Resettlement consultant team of PIC (Annex 2) while IOL and DMS were prepared June - July 2019 by Land Use Planning Institute - Uzdayerloyiha branch of Khorezm region. Both census and DMS/IOL is based on the final design that was developed by Design Institute – SAESP.

9. A total of 238 AHs, comprises 68 private farms, 158 household plots, and 5 business entities will be impacted for a permanent and temporary period while 7 residential households will have a permanent impact on their lands and structures. All AHs are located Urgench, Honka, Yangiarik, Bogot, and Hazorasp districts of Khorezm region. All the identified 238 AHs are divided into 136 land units (Annex 3). Details on the AHs and land users are given in Annex 4.

10. The RoW of 83,467 meters TL will require temporary approximately 115 ha of land from AHs, while the remaining about 9 ha is allocated out of the State lands. Out of the total land holding of AHs, 58% of agricultural land is required temporarily, while 42% comprises of the State-governed lands non-agricultural land use type. The summary of temporary impacts is given in Table 1.2 below.

11. In total 231 AHs will be temporarily impacted due to the construction of towers and stringing of TL cables on their lands in section 5. Construction works will impact on standing crops, orchards and trees.

12. Due to the construction of TL and towers, there will be a loss of standing crops belonging to 190 AHs. These AHs include private farms, dehkan farms that hold household plots and business entities who have agricultural lands. The detail information per AHs on impact to crops is given in annex 16 while the summary of the impact on crops on a district level is given in Table 1.3 below.

15. About 59% of the temporary alignment corridor will pass through the agricultural farms while around 41% of the temporary alignment corridor is needed out of the state-governed lands and only 0.1% will pass through residential lands.

16. During the preliminary site visit in total 60 HHs (1 HH in Bogot district and 59 HHs in Khazorasp district) were preliminary assessed as affected residential households. The previous Hokimiyat of the Hazorasp was aware that land plot was allocated specially to the construction of 220 kV TL, but later in 2017 a new Hokimiyat of the Hazorasp district developed a Master Plan and allocated land to local people to build houses However, this number has been reduced to 7 HHs after carrying out a due diligence review of land documents of the excluded 53 households (HHs). According to the document review, the Khazorasp district Hokimiyat issued an order for 53 HHs, but legal title to the land plots have not been entitled yet. Therefore, these 53 HHs have not started any building activity on those lands. Therefore, in order to avoid resettlement, Hokimiyat issued a new land plots nearby location for those 53 HHs. An information letter was provided by the Khazorasp Hokimiyat regarding the issuance of a new land allocation documentation for those 53 HHs is given in Annex 5. Therefore, these 53 HHs have not been considered as AHs in this updated LARP. However, during the implementation of the this LARP, these HHs shall be monitored as well.

17. In total, 7 residential lands will be permanently impacted and land for land compensation of equal value and size within the neighborhood location will be provided. 1 AH, who is in Bogot district will keep the total landholding in addition to the replacement land. She will have restrictions to build residential structures within the safety zone, but building of other types of non-residential structures are allowed. All these lands are not income-generating/productive lands. All the 7 AHs in addition to land impacts will have a permanent impact on their structures.

18. In total, there are 7 AHs whose structures will be demolished. Out of 7 AHs, 6 residential AHs are in Khazorasp district and census showed that they have managed to build only the foundations of the buildings. Therefore, there will be no physical displacement of the family members. They are still living in the Pitnak town which is located 13 km away from the affected lands. The built foundations made of concrete and stones. In Bogot district, Masharipova Gulnoza also living permanently at a different address (Bogot town, Pakhtakor street), therefore, no APs are living in the affected building in Bogot district the Table below shows the addresses of the AHs. In total, 985 sqm of structures will be demolished in Hazorasp district and 65.2 sqm of structures in the Bogot district. Compensation at the replacement cost will be provided for each AH.

20. Severely affected households are AHs who will lose 10% or more of their total productive land and/or assets. Therefore, in the calculation of severity impact only productive lands of the AHs are considered while other land-use types are not included. As per the census, in total 7 residential households out of 94 AHs have been found as severely affected households in terms of permanent land acquisition (see Table 1.5 above). None of the AHs will have major impacts in terms of temporary land acquisition. Temporarily impacted lands will be returned to farmlands after the end of construction and compensation for temporary land acquisition will be provided to AHs. The maximum impact in terms of permanent land acquisition among private farms reaches 5.4% while among household plots (dehkan farms) this number reaches up to 6.5%. All the affected 7 residential AHs are considered as severely AHs since they will have an impact of 54% and 100%. Table 1.8: Summary of Impact

27. In terms of ethnic composition, all AHs declared themselves as Uzbek ethnically. No ethnic group maintaining cultural and social identities separate from mainstream Uzbekistan’s society fitting the ADB definition of Indigenous Peoples was identified.

I.4 Information disclosure, consultation and participation

28. Consultation meetings were carried out with affected households, relevant stakeholders, including cadastral office, land use engineer, design engineers, transmission line operators of the. Resettlement consultants undertook the field visit on 10 July – 02 August 2019.

29. Disclosure of LARP objectives was carried out also during the consultation meetings among AHs in July-August 2019 through meaningful consultation with AHs. In this meeting, Project objectives, ADB’s policy on Involuntary Resettlement, and Grievance Redress Mechanism, entitlements and possible compensation amounts will be described in the local language (Uzbek) to AHs and stakeholder in the form of presentation. The results of the census, the results of the valuation companies in regard to affected residential structures and trees as well as crops were disclosed among AHs in order to get their opinions and feedback. The comments and feedback from the disclosure meetings were incorporated for this updated LARP. The final LARP will be also disclosed on ADB’s (in the English Language) and on the UNPN website (http://uzbekistonmet.uz), as well as the telegram channel (t.me/uzmetaxborotxizmati) in the local language (Uzbek/Russian) upon approval.

I.5 Grievance redress mechanism

30. Complaints can be submitted to makhalla, village assembly of citizens, farmer councils or directly to EA and North-West Main Power Network (KMPN ) office. KMPN will be the entry point for receiving a complaint or known as a Grievance Focal Point (GFP). Upon receipt of a complaint, the GFP will establish contact with the Project Management Unit (PMU) and makhalla and other relevant bodies. The PMU will establish a complaint handling team headed by one of the KMPN management staff designated for handling grievances of the project. All complaints will be resolved in 15 days, and in case additional details are required, a maximum of 30 days will be used to resolve and close the complaint. The Project Grievance Redress Mechanism does not prevent any AH to approach the national/government legal system to resolve their complaints at any stage of the grievance redress process. The APs can address their complaints to the courts at any time and not only after using the GRM. AP can also vent their grievances in the ADB Accountability Mechanism. I.6 Policy and legal framework 31. The most recent Government resolutions on land acquisition have been used for preparing this LARP. Policy differences between the GOU and ADB have been reconciled where necessary. Based on the survey and consultation, the most important safeguard policy in the context of this project are compensation payable for land acquired if the land-for-land option is unavailable, transparent formulas for the estimation of replacement cost for land and other physical assets, prompt payment of compensation for APs affected by loss of employment, and provision for payment of allowances to the small number of poor and vulnerable APs.

32. The LARP has been prepared in line with national laws/regulations and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009. In case of any gaps between the national law and ADB SPS 2009, for this project purpose, the ADB SPS 2009 shall prevail.

33. The analysis of national legislation shows that Uzbekistan adopted presidential decrees and governmental resolution in recent years that fit the policies of SPS 2009. For example, the Presidents Decrees on the legalization of non-titled owners of residential houses, allocation of one-time financial allowance for families in need and who are not included in any social programs, and monitoring of any kind of involuntary resettlement by the approval of Cabinet of Ministers are examples.

I.7 Entitlements, assistance, and benefits 34. Compensation eligibility will be limited by a cut-off date established based on the last day of the DMS/IOL of affected households. The cut-off date for section 5 territory is August 02, 2019. Households who settle in the affected area and/or make any improvements on the land parcel to be acquired for the project after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation.

35. The Entitlements Matrix identifies the assets – permanent loss of agricultural land, temporary impact on agricultural land, field crops, socioeconomic impact on vulnerable groups, people without formal title or rights to property, and severely AHs – and what entitlements are able to be received using the legal framework and negotiations between the ADB and UNPN.

36. Compensation for residential land will be on a “land for land” basis, with land being provided to owners by the District Hokimiyat. Such land will be of equal value/productivity in a nearby location and with comparable associated services/ facilities, or compensation to provide such services. Transaction costs, registration fees, if any, will be borne by UNPN

37. Cash compensation for permanently affected agricultural land at replacement cost will be provided in case the AHs refuse land-for-land compensation. The compensation for the permanent loss of land use rights over the affected agricultural land will be compensated equivalent to 4 years' net average income of the past 3 years (of the affected annual crop). Transaction costs, registration fees, if any, will be borne by UNPN.

38. Cash compensation for temporary affected agricultural land at replacement costs will be provided. The compensation for the temporary loss of land use rights over the affected agricultural land will be compensated equivalent to construction years multiplied to the net average income of the past 3 years (of the affected annual crop). Transaction costs, registration fees, if any, will be borne by UNPN.

39. Loss of income from fruits trees and timber trees will be compensated in monetary value based on the market value. Fruit trees will be evaluated based on the average annual income for the past 3 years multiplied by the remaining productive life of the fruit-bearing trees. In the case of loss of timber trees, compensation will be based on the market value of their dry wood volume.

40. Loss income from crops planted on the affected land will be compensated in monetary value at replacement cost based on average net income computed based on the annual average income over the past 3 years to restore the lands for an affected portion of land.

I.8 Income restoration and rehabilitation

42. As part of the income restoration and rehabilitation measures, these AH will be provided compensation at replacement cost for their impacted structures, trees and land for land compensation of equal value and size will be provided.

43. There are 7 AHs whose structures will be demolished. Out of 7 AHs, 6 residential HHs are in Khazorasp district and census showed that they have managed to build only the foundations of the buildings Therefore, there will be no physical displacement of the family members. They are still living in the Pitnak town which is located 13 km away from the affected lands. Out of 7 AHs, 1 AH (Masharipova Saodat) whose land is in Bogot district, uses the affected building for the temporary period in summer times. As part of the income restoration measures, salvaged materials after the demolition of structures will be allowed to be kept by AHs.Relocation assistance in the amount of 500,000 UZS will be provided to Masharipova Saodat for the transportation of salvaged materials Saodat Masharipova’s current residential address is in Bogot town, which is around 15 km away from the affected structures. Therefore, no family members are living permanently in the affected building. Remaining part of the building (60% is being not affected) is suitable for living. Also, until the new residential structure is built, the affected structures will not be demolished since it is within the safety zone of TL not within the RoW for construction. Therefore, transition allowance is not foreseen for the AH.

44. Land-based income restoration. Masharipova Saodat in Bogot district will be provided as part of the income restoration measures, a new land of equal size in a neighboring territory which enables to enlarge her territory. Bogot district Hokimityat will provide a new land. All the transaction costs in relation to registration and obtaining new cadastral documents will be paid by the Khokimiyat or by the UNPN.

I.9 Resettlement budget and financing plan

45. The LARP budget, based on compensation calculations for losses to agricultural land, crops, agricultural land replacement, building and structures, and support allowances are estimated to be US$ 78,923. The direct compensation cost will comprise 98% while indirect cost 2% of the total compensation costs. Internal monitoring and evaluation, as well as LARP implementation, will be covered under an ongoing contract package between UNPN and PIC.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 General 52. The Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan (the Government) has applied for financing from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the form of a loan toward the cost of the North-West Region Power Transmission Project (NWRTLP). The Project will strengthen energy security through improved power system reliability and efficiency by constructing a new transmission line without passing through any country. The new line will transmit power from Takhiatash Thermal Power Plant (TPP) and increase the reliability of power supply for the Khorezm province and Karakalpakstan in the northwestern part of Uzbekistan where major investments will be developed, benefiting at least 3 million population.

53. The State Joint-Stock Company Uzbekistan National Power Networks (UNPN) acting as the successor of the Unitary Enterprise “Uzelektrotarmoq” that was under the Joint-Stock Company Uzbekenergo (UE) is the executing agency of the NWRTLP. UNPN has been institutionally reformed by Presidential Decree #4249 on 27 March 2019, and currently affiliated to the Ministry of Energy.

54. The draft Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared by UNPN based on the preliminary design in March 2015. According to draft LARP the NWRTLP was classified as Category B for involuntary resettlement and updated LARP for section 5 prepared in 2019 also classified as Category B for involuntary resettlement.

55. This updated LARP for section 5 covers the assessment of impacts associated with permanent land acquisition for construction of TL towers and temporary land acquisition for stringing the conductor cables of TL. Aside from an assessment of impacts, this LARP provides an assessment of compensation to the affected persons and affected households, implementation arrangement, grievance mechanism, and monitoring and reporting in compliance with policies, laws, and regulations of Uzbekistan, and the policies of the ADB as described in the Safeguard Policy Statement (2009).

56. Project-related construction activities will be done and financially covered by UNPN. Procurement of the equipment and goods will be performed under the ADB loan. The total cost of the project is 258,5mln. USD. Feasibility study approved by Decree of the President of Uzbekistan No. 2541 on 06 June 2016. 2.2 Project components 57. The Project will strengthen energy security through improved power system reliability and efficiency by constructing a new transmission line through Uzbekistan only.

58. The Project consists of the following main components: i. Construction of 363.8 km of 220 kV single-circuit overhead transmission line: between Takhiatash TPP and 220 kV Khorezm substation (197.7 km) and between Khorezm substation and Sarymay substation near V1 node (166.1 km); ii. Expansion/Rehabilitation/Construction of 2 Substations. Including (a) rehabilitation and expansion of 220/110 kV Khorezm Substation; and (b) construction of an open switchyard 220 kV of a new 500/220 kV Sarymay Switchyard near a V-1 node (Sarimay settlement); and iii. Support for Institutional Development, Capacity Building, and Project Management: including (a) consultancy service for project supervision and management, (b) upgrading transmission system planning and dispatch automation, (c) implementation of asset management system, (d) external auditing for project accounting, and (e) strengthening UNPN operational and maintenance capacity for transmission assets.

59. In this report component Construction of 363.8 km of 220 kV single-circuit overhead transmission line: between Takhiatash TPP and 220 kV Khorezm substation (197.7 km) and between Khorezm substation and Sarymay substation near V1 node (166.1 km) is included.

60. In 2018 UNPN (formerly as Uzelektroset) asked ADB to split the above-mentioned components (i) and (ii) into seven sections to accelerate the construction works. Later in this year, No-Objection Letter to Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan Revision was given by ADB’s Energy division of Central and West Asia Department to UNPN. As a result, the project was split into eight sections such as shown in Table 2.1 below.

Table 2.1: The division of the NWRTLP Section LAR and Actions Involuntary needed resettlement Section 1 The power line section between Takhiatash TPP and 1st river-crossing of the YES Resettlement Plan transmission line with the Amudarya River submitted (Republic of Karakalpakstan)

61. This updated LARP is for the subproject “Section 5 - The power line section between “Khorezm” Substation and 3rd river-crossing of the transmission line with the Amudarya River (Khorezm region)”, hereinafter referred to as in this document as Section 5.

2.2.1 Location of NWRTLP 62. NWRTLP is located in the south-western provinces of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm region of the Republic of Uzbekistan, near the border of Turkmenistan (see figure 1). The new line will transmit power from Takhiatash Thermal Power Plant (TPP) to Khorezm Region.

63. The first part of the TL route passes across the territories of Hojeyli, Nukus, Karauzyak, Amudarya and Beruniy districts of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, and Urgench, and Yangibazar districts of the Khorezm region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The second part of the projected TL route is laid across territories of Urgench, Hanka, Yangiarik, Bagat and Hazarasp districts of the Khorezm region and the Turtkul district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan.

Construction of transmission line (TL) within Section 5 of NWRTLP will be carried out in Urgench, Honka, Yangiarik, Bogot, and Hazorasp districts of the Khorezm region. The total length of the transmission line in section 5 is 83,467 meters. In total 36 tension and 228 suspension towers will be built in this section of NWRTLP.

65. As described in figure 2.2, the power line section 5 starts from the Tension Tower 1 right after the Khorezm substation (section 4) and ends with Tension Tower 37 near to the 3rd river- crossing of the Amudarya River. The geographical coordinates (WGS-84) of the towers was based on the information given by the Design Institute – SAESP (Annex 1).

Figure 2.2: Location of Section 5

66. This updated LARP was prepared by Resettlement Expert within July - November 2019 period. It provides a final impact assessment of section 5 of NWRTLP and the plan needed for compensation/rehabilitation measures. DMS/IOL for section 5 was based on the final design prepared by the Design Institute – Sredazenergosetproject within the 2016-2018 period. The reports of DMS/IOL were prepared by the regional branches of Uzdavyerloyiha (State land design institute) of Khorezm branch in June - July 2019.

67. In this updated LARP, there are in total 238 AHs inlcuding, 68 private farms, 158 dehkan farms with household plots, 5 Business entities, and 7 residential households. Additionally, State-governed lands have been impacted as well.

68. Cadastral information containing technical, economic and legal characteristics of the land plot, residential structures, and information about the owners were also studied from cadastral documents and land allocation acts. LARP and Project implementation conditions 69. This LARP fits relevant Uzbekistan legislation and the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement of 2009 (SPS 2009) on Involuntary Resettlement. Based on the Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers (№ 146, №317) agricultural land acquisition has to be carried out only after the value of compensation has agreed and paid by the legal entity whom land is allocated to land user (i.e. farmers) and, demolition of residential houses can be demolished only after payment of full compensation to AHs (Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers - 63, 97, 3857, Presidential Decrees – 5495, 5491). The recent GOU law and regulation on land acquisition require also that civil works can be commenced only after meaningful consultation with affected households and payment of full replacement cost for land acquisition. The detail description of the regulations is given in Chapter 7 of this LARP.

70. The ADB Safeguard Policy also requires that project implementation will be subject to LARP related conditions. The most important conditions are: (i) land acquisition, including demolition of any structure and housing, is allowed only after all compensations are fully paid, and (ii) commencement of civil works is conditional to the satisfactory implementation of the final LARP to be checked and verified by the Resettlement Expert and reported in the LARP compliance report.

71. This updated LARP is subject for approval by ADB and the implementation requires to follow these milestones:  All the field works related to reconstruction and construction of substations and TL construction and other support field works can only be commenced after the updated LARP is approved by ADB, and compensation based on the updated LARP is fully paid.  UNPN will submit to ADB a report on completing the implementation of LARP especially on payment of compensations to AHs.  A LARP Compliance Report needs to be prepared by Resettlement Expert and be issued from the UNPN to ADB to confirm that compensation money and other allowances have been fully paid to AHs. This report will be used by ADB as one of the conditions in the disbursement of loan money.

72. Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) Fichtner Co & KG GmbH was hired to carry out the updating, implementation, and monitoring of LARP. The Project Management Unit (PMU) will assist PIC with the implementation of LARP and record it in the report. For that purpose, PMU assigned the responsible Safeguards Specialist Mr. Azizbek Botirov. PIC and the Safeguards Specialist of PMU will check the implementation of LARP and produce the LARP compliance report prior to the commencement of civil works.

73. A leaflet in the Uzbek/Russian language containing a brief description, eligibility criteria, the entitlement matrix, and implementation schedule will be distributed to AHs and any other affected parties by the PIC and representatives of UNPN through disclosure meetings. The updated LARP will be disclosed on websites of UNPN and ADB. 2.3 Approach and methodology 74. This updated LARP is based on a detailed study of the impacts of land acquisition. In order to accurately assess the impacts of land acquisition, the following activities have been undertaken:  Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) and Inventory of Losses (IOL) is aimed to measure the size and type of land, as well as identify households and study of business and farming practice and assets that will be affected by the land acquisition;  Assessing official documents from Cadastral office, Tax office, Farmers’ Protocols  AH/AP census aimed to gather the socioeconomic conditions of affected households and affected people;  Consultation with governmental agencies and affected parties;  Final estimation of compensation rates aimed to provide a full replacement cost based on the entitlement matrix given in this LARP.

75. The DMS and IOL were undertaken by the regional branches of Uzdavyerloyiha (State land design institute) in the Khorezm branch with professionally qualified land surveyors who measured the affected area of land acquisition in the form of land parcels. The DMS, as well as IOL results, were based on the final design prepared by the Design Institute – Sredazenergosetproject (SAESP) within 2016-2018 years. The results of DMS and IOL was verified and completed by the Resettlement Expert by visiting the project location and in consultation with stakeholders. Moreover, Resettlement Expert has implemented a census of affected households and due diligence work to identify and consider non-titled land users and their assets without differentiating the legal status of ownership for adequate compensation.

76. After identifying assets affected by land acquisition, the census survey on the socioeconomic situation of the land users was undertaken to cover both informal and legal ownership of the asset. Aside from interviews, the questionnaire was designed by taking into account a culturally sensitive to record accurate response, was used as a census tool. 77. The questionnaire covers the following aspects: (i) household composition and socioeconomic characteristics (age, ethnicity, education, gender, etc.); (ii) occupation and break- down of household expenditures; (iii) land owned/occupied and agricultural activities; (iv) debts and assets; and (v) preferences for compensation and livelihood restoration assistance.

3. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

78. This chapter discusses the project impacts, the scope of land acquisition and summarizes the key effects in terms of assets acquired and affected households. The impacts on land acquisition and involuntary resettlement for the project is categorized into temporary and permanent impact in terms of land acquisition.

79. Temporary impacts: Temporary land acquisition with the ROW includes loss of land required temporarily during the construction of transmission line with 220kV voltage Takhiatash- Sarimay which will cause loss of trees and one-year crops due to the construction.

80. Permanent impacts: Permanent land acquisition includes impacts on agricultural land for the installation of tension and suspension towers which will cause of loss of residential and agricultural lands

3.1. Approaches to the identification of project impacts

3.1.1 Census and inventory of losses

81. The impact assessment survey for this final LARP for section 5 was carried out based on the final design which was confirmed by PIU and UNPN for the construction of a 220 kV transmission line. The following activities have been undertaken at this stage:

Identification of affected lands: The final schemas have been superimposed on Google maps, final design in order to identify the number of land parcels and their demarcation including the quantification within the defined location. The list of affected assets/parcels was developed based on Google map data and the data on ownership status, type of lands (agricultural), names of affected households were collected through consultations with the khokimiyats (local government) and local cadastral offices and documents from PIU provided.

Inventory of Losses: The data about the affected trees and crops were collected through SES/Census survey from AHs and land allocation documents from local cadaster.

Census and Socio-Economic Survey (SES): To identify the exact number of AHs and their members, including some elementary social characteristics such as gender and ethnicity, as well as the current socio-economic condition of affected people and household’s census and SES surveys were carried out covering all 238 AHs.

82. The census in Section 5 of Khorezm region was conducted from 10 July to 02 August 2019 by the Resettlement consultant team of PIC (Annex 2) while IOL and DMS were prepared June - July 2019 by Land Use Planning Institute - Uzdayerloyiha branch of Khorezm region. Both census and DMS/IOL is based on the final design that was developed by Design Institute – SAESP.

3.1.2 Categorization of impacts

83. According to the census and DMS, there are 238 AHs which comprises 68 private farms, 158 household plots, 5 Business entities who will be impacted for a permanent and temporary period and additionally 7 residential lands will be impacted for the permanent period only. Out of the 7 residential AHs, 1 AH will have an impact on her residential structure while the remaining 6 AHs will have an impact on their foundation only. These 6 AHs have not built yet the residential structures. In total 1369 APs will be impacted due to the construction of TL in section 5 of NWRTLP.

84. Seven (7) AHs out of the 238 AHs are severely affected. The remaining 231 AHs will have a very minor impact on their lands of less than 6 percent. A total of 57 APs will expereince significant impact on their residential structures

3.2 Impact to AHs

85. There are in total 238 AHs which comprise 68 private farms, 158 household plots, and 5 business entities will be impacted for a permanent and temporary period while 7 residential households will have a permanent impact on their lands and structures. All AHs are located Urgench, Honka, Yangiarik, Bogot, and Hazorasp districts of Khorezm region. The AHs have total of affected 136 land (Annex 3). Details of each AHs and landusers are given in Annex 4.

86. The list of AHs was based on the reference Letter from Land Use Planning Institute of Khorezm branch of Uzdavyerloyiha for section 5 and census by Resettlement Specialists of PIC.

87. The RoW of 83,467 meters TL will require 124 ha temporarily. This includes 71.88 ha from AHsand 52.2 ha of state lands. Around 58% of the temporarily affected land is used for agriculture, while 42% are non-agricultural land. The summary of temporary impacts is given in Table 3.1 below.

3.3 Construction of transmission line

90. According to the SAESP and resolution of Cabinet of Ministers (CoM) “On the approval of the rules of protection of power transmission facility objects dated 26.12.2018 # 1050 a safety zone of 60 meters width (30 meters from the center of the tower to each side) will be established for 220 kV TL (Figure 3).

91. The safety zone of TLs is a land plot from the surface to the bottom, on which a special procedure is established for the ownership and use of a land plot. Safety zones of TLs established in accordance with the rules are encumbrances of land plots and are subject to state registration in the prescribed manner.

Figure 3.1: Safety zone for the 220 kV TL in Uzbekistan (30 meters from the center)

92. The land area for safety zones is not subject to withdrawal from landowners, landowners and land users, including tenants. After completion of the construction works safety zone does not restrict normal farming activity such as cropping, harvesting, grazing, plowing. Only incompatible activities, milking sheds, residential dwellings, and some major earthworks - primarily around the foundations of the transmission towers would be restricted. Therefore, all the residential houses within the safety zone are subject to demolition. Other non-residential structures are not subject to restrictions. Also agricultural and other types of businesses can continue their activities within the safety zone by Resolution of CoM#1050.

93. Land allocation for a permanent and temporary period for the construction of tension and suspension towers are regulated by land allocation norms of Uzbekistan - KMK 2.10.08-97 –

Land allocation norms for power transmission lines 0.4 – 750 kV. Based on this document, land for a temporary period of three years will be allocated with a width of 15 meters for UNPN to string the cables and construction towers. The contractor for civil works will clean the corridor before the start of construction works; therefore all the structures, houses, crops and trees are subject to demolition.

94. Based on the final design, the project will string 83,467 meters of TL and erect 264 towers. There are 36 tension and 228 suspension towers in this section. The suspension towers will be erected within the distance of 150-250 meters while tension towers will be erected on each angle of TL where required.

3.4 Permanent land impacts

95. Permanent land acquisition will be required for the construction of tension and suspension towers. Additionally, land will be allocated out of the State’s Reserve Land. According to the final design for the construction, a land from 75 to 203 sqm is needed for different types of tension towers while 33 to 63 sqm is needed for different types of suspension towers. The details of land allocation norms are given in Table 3.4.

96. Section 5 permanently affects 94 AHs located in Urgench, Honka, Yangiarik, Bogot, and Hazorasp districts of Khorezm region. Of the 2.33 ha of permanently affected land, 58% belongs to AHs comprising of agricultural land (Arable/Crop/orchard cultivation), 30% is State- governed land and the remaining 12% is residential land. The complete list of the land users showing their individual impacts in terms of permanent impact is given in Table 3.17.

98. In total, 7 residential households out of 94 AHs will have permanent impact on their lands. A land for land compensation of equal value and size within the neighborhood location will be provided for these 7 AHs. All these lands are not income-generating/productive lands. In total, 87 AHs out of the total 94 AHs, will have permanent impact on their agricultural lands. Compensation for permanent land acquisition to agrucltural land holders will be provided in the form of monetary compensation instead of land for land since the impact is not significant among farmlands with the maximum impact of 5%. This option has been approved during the census survey by private and dehkan farmers as well. Complete list of the permanent to agricultural lands impacts in terms of percentage is given in Table 3.17

99. During the preliminary site visit in total 60 households were assessed as the affected residential households which are located in Bogot (1 HH) and Hazorasp (59 HH) districts. The previous Hokimiyat of the Hazorasp was aware that land plot was allocated specially to the construction of 220 kV TL, but later in 2017 a new Hokimiyat of the Hazorasp district developed a Master Plan and allocated land to local people to build houses (Figure 3.2)

Figure 3.2: Location of Residential Lands with structures

100. After consultation with the architectural department and Hokimiyat of the Hazorasp district, we have found that for 53 HHs out of 60 but legal title to the land plots have not been entitled yet and the allocation process was not yet started. Therefore, for those 53 households, a new master plan has been developed at another location within the 270 meters distance. Also, for those 53 HHs land allocation documentation has been issued. An information letter has been also provided by local administration regarding the issuance of land allocation documentation for those 53 HHs (Annex 5). Therefore, these 53 HHs have not started any building activity on those lands. Based on these facts, 53 HHs have not been included during the census survey but an assistance in the issuance of land allocation documentation has been provided Khazorasp Hokimiyat. Figure 3.3 gives information regarding the location of impacted and the allocated new land plot.

Figure3.3: The location of the allocated land plot Greenline: Previous route of TL. Redline: redesigned tension tower 29

101. As stated above, out of a total of 60 HHs in total 7 HHs had a legal title to their lands. AHs already built a foundation of the building on the land plot. Therefore, these households were considered as AHs and included in the census survey. Out of the total 7 AHs, 1 AH is in the Bogot district between suspension tower 106 and 107, and the remaining 6 AHs are in Hazorasp district near to tension tower 29 (Table 3.7).

3.5 Temporary land impacts

102. Temporary impacts envisaged during the construction are due to the requirement for temporary access of vehicles that will deliver the pre-fabricated steel, equipment, cables, and utilities, construction materials in the work areas as well as stringing the cables with special machinery. The actual area required for the construction of tension and suspension towers is based on specifications prepared in the final detailed design that is given in Table 3.8. The TL requires a temporary alignment corridor of 15 meters in width for stringing the conductor cables. Therefore, temporary land allocation within the RoW of 15 meters will be also applicable to tower erection.

Table 3.8: Temporary land allocation norms for construction of towers

103. In total, 231 AHs will be temporarily impacted due to the construction of towers and stringing of TL cables on their lands. Construction works will impact standing crops, orchards, and trees. Detail information on the impacts on crops and trees are given in further sections. The land will be temporarily acquired for the project for a period of 1 year. All AHs are in Khorezm region.

104. In total, 124.00 ha of land will be temporarily acquired for the project during the construction period. Out of the total (i.e., 71.88 ha), 58% of the land will be allocated out of the lands of AHs while 42% ha of land will be allocated out the State-governed Lands (e.g., ditches, canals, roads, reserve lands, forest lands). The details on the temporary land acquisition impact on each AH is given in Annex 7, while the summary of the temporary land impact is given in Table 3.9.

3.6 Loss of crops

105. Due to the construction of TL and towers, there will be a loss of standing crops belonging to 190 AHs. These AHs include private farms, dehkan farms, household plots and business entities that have agricultural lands. The detail information per AHs on impact to crops is given in Annex 16 while the summary of the impact on crops on a district level is given in Table 3.10 below.

106. In Section 5, the dominant crops of the affected households are mainly cotton and rice while the share of impacted other types of crops such as corn, alfalfa, and vegetables is low. Around 44% of the total impacted crop is cotton and the next major impacted crop is rice which is also 44 %. The least impacted crops are alfalfa (1%) and vegetables (4%).

107. According to the UNPN, the construction works will be taken place only one year until the next cropping season and next year in 202, farms can continue to plant the crops again. The compensation for the income loss from the cropping is given in the resettlement budget chapter.

108. The details on impacted crops and yields for this year5 per AHs are given in Annex 16 while the summary of the affected crops is given in Table 3.11 below.

109. During the census and inventory of losses carried out in July-August 2019, there were crops planted on the affected agricultural land. Nowadays, in December month all the crops could have been already harvested and there can be no crops at all on some of the affected lands. Therefore, during the implementation of this LARP and payment of compensation AHs, there can be a case that no compensation will be needed for standing crops since there will be no crops on fields. So, the payment for affected crops listed in this Report will be subject to revising based on the availability of crops on fields

3.7 Loss of structures

110. In section 5 the resettlement team did not identify any non-residential structures that fall within the RoW. However, there are 7 residential lands with unfinished structures that have been included in this LARP. Out of the 7 in total 6 structures are located in Alokali Kul makhalla in Hazorasp district while 1 structure is located in Bogot district. These structures are not inhabited structures. Table 1.12 below shows the addresses of the AHs.

111. According to the Final Design developed by SAESP and census, in section 5, a tension tower 29 was located within the residential land thus affecting in total 6 residential houses. In order to mitigate a large number of physical displacement, an effort has been made to minimize the impact. As a result, the location of tension tower 29 was amended to a new location. Table 3.13 describes the old and the new locations of the tension tower.

112. According to the reference letter (N: 10/1232) given by Design Institute dated 26 September 2019 a location of Tension tower 29 has been amended. During the implementation and monitoring of this LARP, the Resettlement consultant shall ensure that the new location of the tension tower has been followed by the construction contractors during the construction period to avoid demolition of recently built residential structures.

Figure 3.2: Location of 6 affected structures in Hazorasp district

121. In total, 4 AHs which are categorized as private farms will have an impact on their trees based on the DMS/IOL, valuation reports. All the affected farms are located in the Hazorasp district. During the census, it was impossible to evaluate the compensation for affected trees by the average net profit since no tax declaration has been submitted by the farmers. The Independent Valuation Company (IVC) has been consulted to use entitlements set in this LARP for affected fruit and timber trees during the valuation of affected trees. As a result of estimation IVC provided valuation report for the affected trees which was used in this LARP. All the affected trees have been calculated and evaluated based on the market values by an independent valuation company. The summary of the valuation report is attached to this updated LARP. The number of affected trees of each farm have been given in Table 3.17.

3.9 The severely affected HHs

122. Severely affected households are AHs who will lose 10% or more of their total productive land and/or assets. Therefore, in the calculation of severity impact only productive lands of the AHs are considered while other land-use types are not included. As per the census, in total 7 AHs out of 94 AHs has been found as severely affected household in terms of permanent land acquisition. None of the AHs will have major impacts in terms of temporary land acquisition. Temporarily impacted lands will be returned to farmlands after the end of construction and compensation for temporary land acquisition will be provided to AHs.

123. Severely affected households are entitled one-time allowance per entitlement matrix. The identified severely AHs are residential households whose residential lands will be acquired who are located in Bogot district (1 AH) and Hazorasp district (6 AHs) who will have a 10% or more permanent impact on their residential land.

124. The maximum impact in terms of permanent land acquisition among private farms reaches 5.4% while among household plots (dehkan farms) this number reaches up to 6.5%. All the affected 7 residential AHs are considered as severely AHs since they will have an impact of 54% and 100%. 3.10 The legal status of land ownership

125. All AHs have the legal occupation of all land that will be acquired for section 5 of NWRTLP. Residential land belonging to 6 AHs obtained their legal document for the newly allocated land in 2019 by the Hazorasp district Hokim’s decree.

3.11 Unanticipated Impacts

126. If unanticipated impacts are found during project implementation, the resettlement specialist responsible for the implementation will conduct a census to update this LARP.

3.12 Impact of construction to access roads

127. Construction of 220 kV TLs will not require an additional access road to the site. Access to land will be through an already functioning path. In order to string the cables TL and laying down towers, a temporary RoW will be used for access roads. Temporary RoW that will pass out of AHs has been included in this LARP and will be compensated per entitlement matrix.

3.13 Socioeconomic and environmental impacts

128. There will be insignificant social impacts and environmental impacts are observed such as noise, dust and air pollutant emissions from the construction equipment. Minor spills and leakages may occur from vehicles and machinery and transformers during the replacement works. The mitigation measures are described in detail in the Initial Environmental Examination.

129. Construction of TLs will generate possibilities of local employment as some laborers will be required during the project implementation. Uzbek companies will do all construction activities. The exact number of domestic workers will be decided by the Contractor who will be responsible for the project implementation. Forced and child labor is strictly prohibited in ADB financed projects. Overall, the implementation of the project has a positive impact on national and local socioeconomics.

3.14 Summary of Impact

130. Section 5 of the NWRTLP will have both temporary and permanent land acquisition impacts. There are in total 238 affected AHs which comprises 68 farmers, 158 Dehkan farms and 5 business entity whose agricultural lands will be impacted for a permanent and temporary period while 7 residential households who will be impacted for a permanent period. All AHs are located within 5 districts of Khorezm region. Summary details are given in Table 3.19. The summary of this chapter concludes that in terms of the number of affected households this LARP can be categorized as category “B” with less significant impacts in terms of ADB’s on Involuntary Resettlement.

4. SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE

131. This chapter describes the key socioeconomic features of the AHs, such as household size, age, gender (especially of the head of household), ethnicity, occupation, household income, and vulnerability education levels, modes of livelihood, sources of income, poverty/income levels, which can be used as indicators for preparing and monitoring the LARP. Socioeconomic features of AHs will increase the understanding of the potential and scale of land impacts affected households and identify options for rehabilitation.

4.1. Methodology

132. This updated LARP has been prepared based on a census of the AHs after a detailed measurement survey (DMS) of the affected properties has been completed. A DMS involves staking out of the affected land on the ground-based on the final engineering design of a project. DMS has been completed by Land Use Planning Institute - Uzdavyerloyiha of Khorezmbranch.

133. In this final LARP, the socio-economic profile is presented based on census/SES carried out on 10 July – 02 August 2019 for 238 affected households due to permanent and temporary agricultural land acquisition. The census/SES data presented in this chapter is actual with reference to the 238 AHs and 1369 APs (including 7 AHs losing residential plot and structure,68 affected farmers, 5 business entities and 158 dehkan households).

134. The field methodology included carrying out of census of all 238 AHs (AHs) through interviews, consultations and structured questionnaires. The socioeconomic profile of AHs living in Urgench, Honka, Yangiarik, Bogot and Hazorasp districts of the Khorezm region presented in this chapter is actual with reference to the 238 AHs and 1369 APs (affected farmers, residential and business households).

A. Socioeconomic profile of affected households

135. During the census, all of 238 AHs or 100% have expressed their strong interest in the new TL construction project. Affected households were also asked about their interest in getting compensation for possible impact from TL construction. Agricultural farms have preferred compensation in monetary form rather than land for land compensation since the impact on the land is insignificant. However, residential AHs were preferred land for land and monetary compensation for their affected structures.

4.2. Demography and socioeconomic characteristics

B. Social impacts on AHs and their communities

4.3. The livelihood of AHs and low-income AHs

144. The distribution of AHs and APs per employment status is presented in tables 4.9 and 4.10. According to the survey results, heads of AHs are involved in agriculture, retired, government jobs, private jobs, housekeeping, other, daily wage, unemployed, disabled, business and student activities as well as the main type of employment and source of income. There is the most percentage of about 47% of AHs heads (males 96 AHs heads and female 10 AHs) involved in agriculture while at least percentage 0,4% (male 1 AHs) gathered by the student.

3.1 Source of Livelihood and Income

147. As shown in the Table 4.12 the agriculture serves as a main source of income for the affected households (45%), by government jobs (19%), by pension (13%), by business (5%), by private jobs (8,3%), by daily wage (6,5%), and the next source of income mentioned by surveyed AHs is by other sources (4%). The average household monthly income from the agricultural activity exceeds the other type of income sources which equals 1,117,597 UZS. As stated before the AHs are mainly dependent on agriculture. The main justification for that that almost 95% of the total 238 AHs are possessing either private farm with large landholdings or dehkan farms with small household plots. Despite the large number of AHs (private and dehkan farms) who are dependent on agriculture, they are not severely affected in terms of land acquisition.

148. The total average annual income of AHs is 30,732,735UZS while the total average annual expenditure of the AHs is 25,287,908UZS, which is less than the total average annual income by 17.72%

3.2 Vulnerable Households

149. Out of 238 AHs, 8 AHs have been categorized as vulnerable AHs. Three types of vulnerable AHs have been identified such as woman-headed household without any support from a working-age member in the family (50%), household headed by physically/mentally challenged person (37.5%) and elderly headed household without any support from working- age members of the household (12.5%). Data about vulnerable households are given in Table 4.14.

Table 4.14: Vulnerable AHs Category Quantity of AHs Share in the total, % The woman headed household without any 4 50 support in working-age people in the family Household headed by physically/mentally 3 37.5 challenged person and low-income family An elderly headed household without any 1 12.5 support in working-age people in the family Total 8 100 Source: Impact Assessment Survey, August 2019

150. In total 3 heads of the AHs declared that they were listed as physically/mentally challenged persons while 1 head of the family declared that they were elderly persons without any other family members. During the structured questionnaire, 4 AH declared themselves to be a woman-headed household without any assistance from working family members. During the census, other farms have also declared that they have family members who were elderly persons (60 years for males and 55 years for female members). Impact assessment survey has found only 1 AH (Allaberganova Salomat) as a low-income family whose total income per family member per month is less than 11,150 UZS (1.2 USD). This AH is listed also as a household headed by a physically/mentally challenged person. The main reason for such a low number quantity of low-income family households is that 97% of AHs consist of private farms, dehkan farms and business entities with agricultural lands and other sources of income. However, the census revealed that none of them are single retired persons.

151. The vulnerable group of people listed above has been included in this LARP on the basis of a structured questionnaire. During the census, no data was provided with regard to individuals physically / mentally challenged. Therefore, the confirmation through the Makhalla registry or the submission of the official certificate shall be carried out during the payment of the allowance for physically / mentally challenged persons.

152. The census/SES included all 238 AHs who are permanently/temporarily impacted due to the project in section 5 including, 1369 APs. The census/SES data presented in this section are actual for all AHs.

4.4. Ethnic composition and indigenous people

153. In terms of the ethnic composition according to census data in section 5, all AHs declared themselves as Uzbek nationality. There was not identified any ethnic groups maintaining cultural and social identities separate from mainstream Uzbekistan’s society fitting the ADB definition of Indigenous Peoples. Therefore, the ADB’s policy, as described in ADB’s SPS, 2009 in the Indigenous Peoples is not triggered. No special action is required for this updated LARP.

4.5. Gender issues

154. Under the Project, there is no differentiation between the household headed by males and households headed by a female as they will equally feel the impacts of land restrictions and land acquisitions. During the development of this updated LARP, UNPN complies with ADB’s Policy on Gender and Development (1998) as a key strategy for promoting equity. As a Project policy in this LARP, the affected properties of a household headed by a female was valued the same as that of the household headed by a male, i.e. compensation based on replacement cost and receive allowances, assistance indicated in entitlement matrix of this LARP.

5. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION

5.1. General

155. Consultation meetings were carried out with affected households, relevant stakeholders, including cadastral office, land use engineer, design engineers, transmission line operators of the project. A list of the stakeholders and discussed questions is attached in Annex 11. Resettlement consultants undertook public consultations during the census from 10 July to 02 August 2019.

156. The consultation focused on possible impacts on households, farmers, business community buildings and lands as well as temporary disruption of livelihood, if any, from the proposed construction works within section 5. Possible impacts and opinions of affected households have been studied. Preliminary Grievance Redress Mechanism was explained in the local language (Uzbek) along with a list (names, address and contact numbers) of crucial persons at PMU to be contacted in case of AHs may have grievance/complaint.

157. The main objectives of the public consultations were as follows:

 To discuss their opinions about possible resettlement and land acquisition on their lands  to make people aware of the project and let the beneficiaries know about the positive outcome of the project regarding reliable new employment opportunities, power supply.  to disseminate information to the people about the project regarding its activities and scope of work;  to involve people as stakeholders in project planning and further during implementation;  to seek local peoples' views on minimizing probable adverse impacts on land acquisition, involuntary resettlement and indirect impact to livelihood;  to make people aware of the plan of action;  to make people aware of the process of Grievance Redress Mechanism;  to assess the local people's willingness to get involved with the project, and enumerate the measures to be taken during the implementation of the project.  to make people aware of the general policy principles of national laws and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 and full eligibility and entitlements.

5.2. Disclosure

158. Disclosure of LARP objectives was carried out also during the consultation meetings among AHs in July-August 2019 through meaningful consultation with AHs. In this meeting, Project objectives, ADB’s policy on Involuntary Resettlement, and Grievance Redress Mechanism, entitlements and possible compensation amounts will be described in the local language (Uzbek) to AHs and stakeholder in the form of presentation. The results of the census, the results of the valuation companies in regard to affected residential structures and trees as well as crops were disclosed among AHs in order to get their opinions and feedback.

6. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

6.1. General

163. Consultation meetings were carried out with relevant stakeholders, including cadastral office, land use engineer, design engineers, transmission line operators of the project. As a result of discussions and consultations, a simple Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is developed for the AHs who may have complaints or questions during the construction works.

164. The PMU through UNPN branch and Contractors already established a simple and accessible grievance redress mechanism in a frame of previous sections of the NWRTLP which ensures some instruments and levels for grievance resolution and appeals process. PMU’s Safeguards Specialist and through a representative of PMU on the site is carrying out monitoring of the project implementation and GRM. So, the same system will be applied in this section 5 as well.

165. The primary goals of GRM are ensuring the receipt and timely redress of grievances and concerns submitted by the aggrieved project affected persons, and resolve complaints at the project level and prevent escalation to the national courts or ADB Accountability Mechanism.

166. People will have the right to file complaints and queries on any aspect of land acquisition, compensation, and resettlement. The PMU will ensure that grievances and complaints on any point of the project implementation during the construction works are addressed in a timely and satisfactory manner.

6.2. Existing complaint handling mechanism in Uzbekistan

167. The National law on the appeals of individuals and legal entities6 obliges state authorities to deal with requests and provides a clear framework to handle the case. This law has recently replaced previous law on the requests of citizens and gives the right for individuals and legal entities to file requests. The requests can be in the form of applications, proposals and complaints and submitted in three ways: oral, written and digital format.

168. Any citizen in Uzbekistan has several channels to air his/ her complaints.

 On village (or Makhalla) level: - Physical visit to Makhalla Citizens’ Assembly Office to meet with Chair; - Call to President’s Virtual reception (tel. number is 1000 or 0-800-210-00-00) or send message to President’s Virtual reception online (www.pm.gov.uz); - Call to hotlines established at each district or regional Khokimiyat; - Send written complaint (letter) to district/regional Khokim/ line Ministry/President; - Attend meetings with district/regional Heads of Sectors on integrated socio-economic development of regions (4 sectors established in each district); - Attend meetings with the leadership of line ministries and agencies that have to regularly meet with citizens in rural areas. If a citizen is not satisfied with the reply provided by Makhalla Chair, or he has received an incomplete response, the citizen can apply to the upper level, specifically to District Khokimiyat.

 District level: - Physical visit to Khokimiyat on citizens reception days to meet with district Khokim or deputy Khokims - Call to hotlines established in each Khokimiyat - Physical visit to Public reception offices under President’s Virtual reception and established in each district nationwide

6 Republic of Uzbekistan Law on the appeals of individuals and legal entities (№ЗРУ-378, 03.12.2014).

- Call to President’s Virtual reception (tel. number is 1000 or 0-800-210-00-00) or send message to President’s Virtual reception online (www.pm.gov.uz) - Send written complaint (letter) to district Khokim/ line Ministry/President - Attend meetings with district/regional Heads of Sectors on integrated socio-economic development of regions (4 sectors established in each district) - Attend meetings with the leadership of line ministries and agencies that have to regularly meet with citizens in rural areas If a citizen is not satisfied with the reply provided on a district level, or he has received an incomplete response, the citizen can apply to the upper level, specifically to Regional Khokimiyat.

 Regional level: - Physical visit to Khokimiyat on citizens reception days to meet with regional Khokim or deputy Khokims - Call to hotlines established in each Khokimiyat - Physical visit to Public reception offices under President’s Virtual reception and established in each regional center nationwide - Call to President’s Virtual reception (tel. number is 1000 or 0-800-210-00-00) or send message to President’s Virtual reception online (www.pm.gov.uz) - Send written complaint to a portal of the Ministry of Energy (http://cabinetpm2.gov.uz/) - Send written complaint (letter) to regional Khokim/ line Ministry/President - Attend meetings with regional Heads of Sectors on integrated socio-economic development of regions (4 sectors established in each district) - Attend meetings with the leadership of line ministries and agencies that have to regularly meet with citizens in rural areas

6.3. GRM developed for NWRTLP

169. The Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) developed for this subproject is available to AHs and people living or working in nearby section 5. The Project GRM disseminated via the LARP disclosure meetings in the leaflets that will be distributed to people through local Hokimiyat, the makhalla, village assembly of citizens or farmers' councils.

170. In case there will be any person impacted by or concerned about the project activities he/she has the right to participate in the GRM. They should have easy access to it and be encouraged to use it. The proposed GRM does not replace the known mechanisms of complaint and conflict resolution envisaged by the legal system of Uzbekistan but attempts to minimize the use of it to the extent possible.

171. The PMU established a simple and accessible GRM (see annex 13). The GRM provides some avenues and levels for grievance resolution and appeals process. The primary objective behind the project-specific grievance mechanism is to ensure a timely and user-friendly solution to the complaints received from the people living near to subprojects. However, Project GRM does not prevent any person to approach the governmental legal system to resolve their claims at any stage of the grievance redress process. The people can address their complaints to the courts at any time and not only after using the GRM.

172. Level 1 (Makhalla / Village Assembly). Under this project grievance redress mechanism, complaints can be submitted to the district level Hokimiyat, makhalla, village assembly of citizens, farmer councils, Contractor or directly to the local branch of the UNPN which is Khorezm Magestrial Power Network (KMPN). The makhalla/village assembly and Site Engineer of KMPN will try to resolve or clarify the issue within 2 weeks. Unresolved issues will be referred to the PMU in Tashkent.

173. Level 2 (Project Management Unit). The UNPN through its PMU on a regular basis (weekly) and as per immediate request will check with the KMPN whether any complaint is received by the Site engineer. The PMU, on receipt of a complaint from KMPN or any other local bodies, will immediately take the following actions:

(i) Will inform the complainant within five days; (ii) Inform ADB office both resident mission and HQ; (iii) If required, establish complaint handling a team with members Head of PMU, representatives from the EA, District Hokimiyat, Land Resources, and Cadastral Department, and Makhalla or Village Assembly of Citizens or/and Farmer’s Councils, or/and Women Association.

174. Complaint handling. The complaint handling team will be headed by one of the EA management staff designated for handling grievances of the project.

(i) The team will consult the complainant and gather complainant’s concerns; (ii) The team will also take advice from an independent valuation company (in case of grievances related to valuation); (iii) All complaints will be resolved in 15 days, and in case additional details are required, a maximum of 30 days will be used to address and close the complaint; (iv) If the complaint is not addressed by Project Grievance Mechanism Team, the PMU will inform ADB and District Hokimiyat regarding the issue.

175. District or provincial Hokimiyat will also have 15 calendar days to resolve the complaint.

176. Court. If the complaint is still unresolved, the complainant can submit his/her complaint to the appropriate court of law. The schematic explanation of GRM is given in Annex 13.

6.4. Contact details

177. The PMU will be responsible for recording the complaint; the step was taken to address the grievance, a minute of the meetings, and preparation of a report for each complaint. The complaint handling process will be reported to ADB through the quarterly project implementation report. Citizens may address their complaint and concerns to the following address:

42, Osiyo street, Tashkent, 100084, Uzbekistan Tel/Fax.: +998 71-236-6808 +998 99 8527991 (mobile) E-mail: [email protected] Mr. Azizbek Batirov - Safeguards Specialist at PMU Website: uzbekistonmet.uz

178. The aggrieved persons can also use the ADB Accountability Mechanism (AM) through the direct citizens’ application to the Head Quarter in Manila, particularly to Complaints Receiving Officer, Accountability Mechanism Asian Development Bank Headquarters 6 ADB Avenue, Mandaluyong City 1550, Philippines Email: [email protected], Fax +63-2-636-2086.

179. AM is the last resort, and ADB has its availability as a recourse in case other mechanisms for dealing with harmful project effects are not successful. SPS requires GRM, and the use of project-level GRM should be encouraged first.

6.5. GRM Records and documentation

180. Project Management Unit under UNPN already established GRM in other sections of NWRTLP. The regional branch of UNPN which is the KMPN is responsible for collecting complaints and grievances from AHs and people living near to construction sites. KMPN is also collecting complaints made by AHs through contractors working directly on the sites. People in village areas used to apply directly to makhalla and hokimiyat.

Hokimiyat currently receives complaints verbally and in writing form and both methods in accordance with National legislation are officially recognized and documented. Therefore, the Safeguard specialist at PMU regularly contacting with the Hokimiyat if AHs made complaints.

181. KMPN will be the entry point for receiving a complaint or known as a Focal Grievance Point (FGP). Moreover, KMPN will ensure monitoring of LARP implementation and assisting PMU in all LARP related implementation activities. KMPN is keeping a record of complaints received for its use as well as for review by ADB during regular missions. The grievance mechanism applies equally to all affected households and for the population living near to subjects. When reference is made to the Naymankul makhalla, it is to the makhalla that the affected persons are located. Makhalla chairman forwards the complaints to the PMU staff who records the complaint.

182. The complaint handling process will be reported to ADB through project progress reports. All grievances received from the population are being registered in a logbook (Annex 14 attached in this LARP) which is available at levels 1 and 2: at the site office of the Contractor, each makhalla committee of subproject area districts and PMU Tashkent office. Besides, there are also logbooks in the Hokimiyats where the grievances of the population are usually registered. Even so, the information received by Contractor grievances and applications from the aggregated persons and undertook measures should be submitted to the representatives of PMU on the project site for the accounting of all grievances. Thereafter the information on all received grievances will be collected at the PMU

183. The above-mentioned GRM that is being used for other sections will be applied to the section 5 as well.

7. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK 7.1 General 184. The legal and policy framework of the project is based on national laws and legislation related to land acquisition and compensation policy in Uzbekistan and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS). Project-related LAR principles have been adopted by this Report based on the analysis of applicable laws and policies and ADB’s Policy requirements. The policies below are to be applied LAR related impacts during the implementation. 7.2 Laws, Regulation, and Provision relating to LAR in Uzbekistan 185. In Uzbekistan, a land expropriation takes place for the State and public needs under the Land Code (LC) and other legal documents. The expropriation in this context refers to the taking away of private land for a state and public purpose by the government with or without the owner’s consent subject to laws of eminent domain, which stipulates prompt and adequate compensation. Recent legal documents issued by the Presidential Decrees and the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan foresee to protect citizen’s and legal entities’ private ownership to land and for the building and structures. Collectively, these regulations provide a sound basis for acquiring land for the State and public purposes and for compensating land users a replacement cost at market values for the affected structures.

186. In Table 7.1 below the summary of legal documents used in the development of current land acquisition and resettlement plan is presented.

The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan (December 8, 1992) provides that:

 Everyone shall have the right to own property (Article 36). The economy of Uzbekistan, evolving towards market relations, is based on various forms of ownership. The state shall guarantee freedom of economic activity, entrepreneurship, and labor with due regard for the priority of consumers’ rights, equality and legal protection of all forms of ownership (Article 53);  An owner, at his discretion, shall possess, use and dispose of his property.

 The land, its minerals, waters, fauna and flora, other natural resources shall constitute the national wealth and shall be rationally used and protected by the state (Article 55) 7.2.2 Land code (30 April 1998) 188. The Land Code (LC) is the primary regulatory framework for land-related matters in Uzbekistan. The LC regulates allocation, transfer, and sale of land plots, defines ownership and rights on the land. It describes responsibilities of different state authorities (Cabinet of Ministers, province, district, city Hokimiyat) in land management; rights and obligations of the land possessor, user, tenant, and owner; land category types, land acquisition, and compensation, resolution of land disputes and land protection. The LC also defines the terms of rights termination on the land plot, seizure and land acquisition of land plot for state and public needs, and conditions of confiscation of a land plot in violation of land legislation.  According to the new version of the Code, currently, the granted lands for the construction of infrastructure, business, and residential houses shall be carried out within the three years. After that, the land will be taken back by local municipalities.  The land can be given for temporary use as a short term period (up to three years) or long term (from three to ten years).  The Code clearly defines (i.e., Article 23) that the land for construction of power transmission line shall be allocated out of the low quality agricultural or non-agricultural lands. The legal entity whom the land was allocated cannot use and take possession of the land until property deed has been issued. 7.2.3 Resolution of Cabinet of Ministers № 97 (29 May 2006) 189. This resolution regulates compensation for losses to individuals and legal entities due to the seizure of land plots for state and public needs. This regulation is mainly dealing with land plots, houses, building and structures of individuals and legal entities.

190. The resolution determines the procedure for the seizure of land or part thereof, as well as the method for calculating the amount of compensation to individuals and legal entities for the demolished residential, industrial and other buildings, structures and plantings in due to the seizure of land for state and public needs. The details of the Resolution are given in the draft LARP prepared for this project.

191. Replacement of the affected land shall be done in accordance with the land allocation norms for the construction of individual housing. According to the current norms, 0.04- 0.06 ha of land can be allocated without auctions directly to AHs.

192. According to thus resolution AHs shall be entitled proper house or rent allowance up to 2 years during the transition period. It also obliges the legal entities whom the land is being allocated to assist with the relocation.

7.2.4 Civil Code (29 August 1996) 193. The Civil Code (CC) defines the legal status of participants of public relations, the grounds, and procedure of implementation of property rights and other proprietary rights, rights of intellectual property, regulates the contractual and other obligations, as well as other property and related personal non-property relations. The CC defines general rules of property seizure, determination of property cost and rights for compensation, terms of rights termination.

194. The CC provides that: a person whose right has been violated may demand full compensation for damages unless the law or the contract provides compensation for losses in a smaller size (Article 14, Clause 1). The Civil Code (Article 14, Clause 2) also specifies that losses are understood as:  expenses that the person whose right is violated, made or must make to restore the violated right;  the loss of or damage to property;

 the revenues that this person would have received under normal conditions of civil turnover if his right had not been violated (lost incomes).

195. According to article 14, Clause 3 “If the person has violated the law, revenues received as a result of this, the person whose rights were violated, has the right to demand compensation along with other losses, lost profits in the amount not less than such profits.” 7.2.5 Resolution of Cabinet of Ministers № 146 (25 May 2011) 196. This Resolution is aimed to improve the procedure of granting land plots, protect the rights of legal entities and individuals on land, and improve the architecture of settlements and the efficient use of their land for construction by the Land Code and the Town Planning Code. This resolution has approved two Regulations: (i) Regulation on the procedure for granting land for urban development and other non-agricultural purposes, (ii) Regulation on the method of compensation for landowners, users, tenants, and proprietors (in case of residential land), as well as losses of agriculture and forestry.

197. The Regulation on the method of compensation for landowners, users, tenants, and proprietors, as well as losses of agriculture and forestry, includes the following:  Compensation for losses of landowners, users, tenants, and proprietors (hereinafter AHs);  Compensation for losses of agriculture and forestry;  cost of irrigation and developing the equal new land plot in return for seized irrigated agricultural land;  Cost of fundamental improvement of grassland and pasture;  Scheme for determination of losses of land possessors, users, tenants, and owners, as well as damages of agriculture and forestry;  Coefficients on the location of seized land plots.

198. In this LARP, the entitlements and compensation for AHs per resolution #146 have been included. According to this resolution, AHs are entitled to following compensations: - The cost of the land plot under the ownership of legal and physical entities - The cost of residential houses, structures, unfinished structures and structures that are not directly affected but unviable to use after land acquisition. - The cost of fruit trees, windbreak forests and other perennial plantations - The cost of not harvested agricultural crops - Agricultural income loss (in case of land for land development compensation provided to AHs, then agricultural income loss will not be provided)

199. Compensation for AHs is provided in case of: - Permanent acquisition of land - Redemption of land - Temporary acquisition of land

200. The losses of land possessors, users, tenants, and owners, as well as losses in agriculture and forestry, should be compensated before granting of documents certifying rights on the land plot. The regulation also orders that demolition of the house or building shall be done only after agreeing on compensation and providing replacement premises. The replacement procedure is done according to the Resolution of CoM № 63 which is detailed in section 7.2.15 in this report. The regulation orders that compensation has to be paid before starting any construction work. AHs whose land plots are seized and to whom land plots are granted, in case of disagreement with a defined amount of losses, can appeal to the court. In Uzbekistan, no monetary compensation for land to land for the affected residential lands is foreseen. Therefore, replacement land will be allocated in agreement with the physical and legal entity whose land is being acquired. This agreement is regulated through the Resolution of CoM № 63.

201. This resolution shall be implemented together with the Resolution of Cabinet of Ministers #317 dated 21 September 2016. 7.2.6 Resolution of Cabinet Ministers №317 (21 September 2016) 202. The resolution “On amending and adding to some decrees of the Republic of Uzbekistan, aimed the further improvement of registration of cadastral document on real property” defines responsible design institution which calculates the agricultural and forest- related losses belonging to legal land users, tenants. This institute is “Uzdavyerloyiha” and its branches in the regions. It defines that in case of the following type of construction works, then compensation for agricultural and forest-related losses will not be compensated:  construction of individual housing and maintenance of a residential house;  construction of pre-school, general secondary, secondary special, professional educational and medical institutions;  construction of water management facilities, land reclamation facilities and hydraulic structures;  formation of protected natural areas;

203. In resolution # 317, there is no indication that in case of the above-mentioned purposes AHs will also not be compensated. Based on this we consider that even though, the land is being expropriated for public needs; still, the compensation for AHs shall be paid. By this resolution, the Government defined the procedure of legalization cadastral document of the titled and not titled (illegal) land users. The main requirements for the legalization of non-titled land users are to provide i) explanation of circumstances of unlawful use of land, ii) certificate from local self-governed bodies on possession of the last 15 years, iii) payment of land tax for the previous five years. This resolution updates the compensation mechanism of agricultural and forest-related losses. Therefore, in the calculation of compensation, this resolution shall be used together with Resolution of Cabinet of Ministers #146dated on 25 May 2011. 7.2.7 Resolution of Cabinet Ministers №3857 (16 July 2018) 204. The resolution “On measures to improve the effectiveness of training and realizing projects with participation of international financial institutions and foreign government financial organizations” partly provides that payment of compensation for the land acquisition, demolition of houses, structures, plantings within the framework of projects with the participation of International Financial Institutions (IFIs). If it is agreed and stated in agreements, then the project implementation procedure will be followed by authorized bodies following the requirements of IFIs or Foreign Governmental Finance Organizations (FGFOs). This resolution gives to Executing Agencies to implement ADB’s LAR or other principles in case of discrepancies between national legislation and ADB policies. 7.2.8 Decree of the President of Uzbekistan №5495 (1 August 2018) 205. The decree “On measures on cardinal improvement of the investment climate in the Republic of Uzbekistan" regulates that the seizure of land for state and public needs is allowed only after an open discussion with interested parties whose land plots are confiscated. It also sets that demolition of residential, industrial premises, other structures, and structures belonging to individuals and legal entities and seizure of land is allowed after the full compensation of the market value of immovable property and losses caused to owners in connection with such seizure. 7.2.9 Law of Uzbekistan on Protection of Private property and Guarantees of Ownership rights 336 (22 September 2012) 206. The purpose of this Law is to regulate relations in the field of protection of private property and guarantees of property rights. It regulates the entitlement of property owners to full market value compensation in case of acquisition of the property and land for the State needs.

207. According to the Law, withdrawal of the property, including a privately owned land, in cases of nationalization and requisition, is carried out only after payment of full compensation to the owner at market value, as well as losses incurred to the owner in connection with such a withdrawal, unless otherwise provided by law.

According to Article 19, the Demolition of buildings and structures before the payment of full compensation is not allowed. 7.2.10 Presidential Order F-5491(3 August 2019) 208. The order “On additional measures to unconditionally provide guarantees of ownership rights of citizens and business entities” has been issued after a number of breaching the national legislation in connection with involuntary resettlement and land expropriation for the State needs by local authorities in Uzbekistan. The main requirements of the Order are the following:

 All the Involuntary resettlement activities in connection with the expropriation for the public and the State needs must be consulted with the centralized fund that was established under the Cabinet of Ministers to compensate for the LAR activities.  LAR Implementation can be carried out only after meaningful consultation with PAPs (residents and business entities) and valuation of compensation, and payment of the value of demolished buildings at replacement cost  Inappropriate/illegal issuance of the administrative documents by the respective authorities to residents and business entities will be firstly compensated by the special budget of the local respective authorities and sooner the compensation will be reimbursed by the guilty person who issued that document.  Starting from August 5, 2019, all the LAR activities in connection with the expropriation for the public and the State needs shall be carried out in 3 stages. 1st stage includes that all the LAR documents shall be submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers (CoM), 2nd stage includes the issuance of conclusion by the responsible persons at CoM, and in 3rd stage, the prepared conclusions shall be submitted to the Prime Minister for review and issuance of final decisions.

209. In general, this Order fully complies with the ADB’s SPS 2009 on Safeguard Requirements - Involuntary resettlement in regard to public consultation, compensation at replacement cost and provision of relocation costs. This Order clearly states that all the inappropriate documents that made property owners as illegal owners will be compensated as well. However, one discrepancy includes that property owner without any document (squatter) is not subject to compensation. 7.2.11 Resolution of Cabinet of Ministers № 1047 (26 December 2018) 210. This full name of the resolution is called “On the procedure for the formation and use of funds of centralized funds for the compensation to affected individuals and legal entities for the expropriation of land for the state and public needs.” This resolution appoints Republican Centralized Fund (RCF) under the Cabinet of Ministers for calculation and distribution of compensation during the involuntary resettlements to affected households and affected entities. Involuntary resettlement can be done only for the public and the state needs. RCF will be responsible for the Governmental level and internationally funded projects. This resolution sets the procedure of compensation payments to affected physical and legal entities. The Supervisory Board under RCF has the right to decide, and the decisions are compulsory to execute. The Board will also monitor the allocation of funds to AHs during the resettlement implementation period. Local managing bodies (i.e., Hokimiyats) should start the process by inquiring to RCF on the distribution of necessary funds for LAR. The Board will review this application, and the appropriate decisions will be accepted. Regional Hokimiyats issue the Decree on the allocation of compensation based on the RCF’s decision. The Decree serves as a legal instrument to provide compensation to affected physical and legal entities.

Public needs - the need for construction of: - automobile motorways and pedestrian walkways to buildings and structures, territories belonging to legal entities, regardless of legal forms, as well as individuals;

8 https://www.mf.uz/uz/news/2615.html 9 Since August 2019 the minimal wage was set at 223,000 UZS per month, thus the low-income line has been set at 334,500 UZS (35 USD) per month per person. Based on this methodology the official low-income line (as nominal indicator) is about 1.2 USD per day per capita. 10 Note: According to this resolution, land for the construction of TL for the section 1 is considered as allocation of land for the State needs.

221. It clearly defines what kind of organizations is eligible to get land in the frame of the State and public needs. According to the Resolution, there are 15 stages for a procedure for the provision of land for the State and public needs.

222. In case of allocated land is under the ownership of the legal or physical entity, the provision of a land plot for state and public needs for the interested organization is carried out only after the acquisition (procurement) of the land plot from the physical and legal entities in the established order. The decree on land acquisition is regulated through the Presidential Order #5495, which regulates that the seizure of land for state and public needs is allowed only after an open discussion with interested parties whose land plots are confiscated. It also sets that demolition of residential, industrial premises, other structures, and structures belonging to individuals and legal entities and seizure of land is allowed after the full compensation of the market value of immovable property and losses caused to owners in connection with such seizure.

223. The size of the land plot to be offered as a replacement for the acquired land due to the public and state needs is agreed with the owner of the affected land plot. In Uzbekistan, all the lands are to be allocated on the electronic platform by participating in the auctions. According to this resolution, affected households are exempted from the participation in auctions and land will be given by the Hokimiyats directly. A procedure for land allocation without auctions is done through an application to be submitted by the affected household to Hokimiyat. Hokimiyat then offers to AHs a suitable land. If AHs agree with the replaced land plot, then they shall declare their agreement by writing manually agreement letter 7.2.16 Resolution of Cabinet of Ministers # 165 (30.03.2017) 224. This resolution is issued to implement the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On the State Program for the Development of the Aral Sea Region for 2017–2021” and to target the social protection of low-income families in the Aral Region. According to this Decree family in need living in the Khorezm region and Karakalpakstan region are eligible to receive one-time financial assistance.

225. One time financial assistance to families in need is appointed by the Commission’s decision to the following categories of families (citizens) who find themselves in difficult life situations that are not fully supported by the State:  lonely citizens and retirees who need care (not able-bodied and not able-bodied family members), families with a disabled bread-winner and other low-income categories of the population and families;  Citizens who are disabled in Group I or have a serious illness (with complete or partial loss of a person’s ability and ability to carry out self-care, to be engaged in labor activities);  families who have lost their sole breadwinner as a result of his death (within three months);

 a parent (family member) in an incomplete family, caring for a disabled child or another family member – a disabled group I or group II or having a serious illness that requires surgical intervention or long-term (more than five months) outpatient treatment requiring financial expenditures;  families with two or more children, in which one of the parents is a disabled person of group I or II, and the second is forced to take care of the patient with the termination of employment or both parents are the disabled group I or II.

226. A difficult life situation means:  severe illnesses leading to disability (group I disabled person) or the treatment of which requires a long-term (more than five months) use of drugs or surgical intervention;  death of a spouse, parents (adoptive parents), breadwinner;  damage to life, health, property as a result of natural disasters, catastrophes, fires and other emergency situations (circumstances) of force majeure.

227. Families in need that received one-time financial assistance can re-apply for this assistance after one year. The amount of assistance is determined by Presidential Decree annually. Since January 1, 2019, the amount of one-time assistance is between 446 000 – 1 115 000 UZS which equals 2 times to 5 times of minimum wage.

228. Therefore, in this project setting the one time allowance in the amount of 101400 UZS for vulnerable families who are not benefiting from the State’s Social Program fits the National legislation of Uzbekistan. In translating this document into local language the term, an allowance shall be interpreted as moddiy yordam (in the Uzbek language) to avoid misunderstandings during the implementation stage. 7.2.17 Presidential Decree # 4086 229. As stated before, the amount of social allowance and financial assistance is determined by the Presidential Decree. Presidential Decree #4086 determines the amounts of allowances and social supports for vulnerable categories of citizens/families of Uzbekistan. Starting from January 1, 2019, the following benefits for families with children under the age of 14 years old, allowances for childcare until they reach the age of two years and material assistance to low- income families, and one-time financial assistance to families in need in the Republic of Karakalpakstan and the Khorezm region are established: Table 7.2: The established amounts of social allowances by Presidential Decree #4086 № Amount (UZS) Type of Social allowances I.

7.2.18 Labor code and employment law 230. These two documents are central legislation regulating labor relations of individuals employed with labor contracts by enterprises, institutions, organizations of all type ownership forms, including contracted by individuals. These legislations are considering interests of employees and employers provide the efficient function of the labor market, just and secure labor conditions, protection of labor rights and employees health, promote the growth of labor productivity, an increase of work quality, rising on this matter welfare and social livelihood level of the population.

231. Both ADB policy and the Uzbek law provide for the indemnification of APs who lose a job because of land/assets acquisition under a public interest project. The two, however, differ substantially on how the matter is conceptualized and resolved in practice. ADB policy compounds the case as an income rehabilitation issue and thus requires that the actual job income lost by the APs is fully reimbursed to them. This approach covers temporary and permanent job losses and is generally implemented through an allowance providing the APs their declared monthly salary (what should be substantiated by the supporting documents) for the number of months of business stoppage up to a maximum of 12 months which is the benchmark for permanent job loss. For informal permanent jobs without declared salaries, the approach is the same but based on the national minimum wage. To guarantee proper policy application the payment of the job loss allowances are to be directly disbursed to the APs by the project proponent.

232. The national legislation, instead, limits the matter to the payment as mandated by the Labor Code of fixed employment termination indemnities due by an employer to his employees and to the obligation of the project proponent to reimburse the employer of the cost of those indemnities mandate by the Civil Code. Such an approach excludes from job loss compensation informal employees without a declared salary, applies only to permanently affected jobs and does not automatically guarantee that the APs receive their job termination dues11. 7.3 ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 233. ADB adopted its Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) in 2009 including safeguard requirements for environment, involuntary resettlement, and indigenous people. The objectives of the Involuntary Resettlement Safeguard policy is to avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; to minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre- project levels; and to improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.

234. The involuntary resettlement safeguards cover physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. It covers them whether such losses and involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary. The three essential elements of ADB’s SPS are: (i) compensation at replacement cost for lost assets, livelihood, and income prior to displacement; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation to achieve at least the same level of well-being with the project as without it. The SPS gives special attention to poor and vulnerable households to ensure their improved well-being as a result of project interventions.

11 Based on the Labor Code of 1996, last amended on 2015 (Article 67) loss of employment is to be compensated with 2 months average salary plus a severance pay of a maximum of 1 month average salary depending on the length of the employment lost. Also according to the Civil Code (Article 14) all losses (including real damage, lost incomes) are to be compensated.

235. The rate of compensation for acquired housing, land and other assets will be calculated at full replacement costs. The calculation of full replacement cost will be based on the following elements: (i) fair market value; (ii) transaction costs; (iii) interest accrued, (iv) transitional and restoration costs; and (v) other applicable payments if any. Where market conditions are absent or in a formative stage, the borrower/client will consult with the displaced persons and host populations to obtain adequate information about recent land transactions, land value by types, land titles, land use, cropping patterns and crop production, availability of land in the project area and district, and other related information. The borrower/client will also collect baseline data on housing, house types, and construction materials. Qualified and experienced experts will undertake the valuation of acquired assets. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account. The following are the basic policy principles of ADB’s SPS, 2009: (i) Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and census of displaced persons, including gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. (ii) Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned non-government organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate the resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase. (iii) Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (a) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land-based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (b) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (c) immediate compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit-sharing schemes where possible. (iv) Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (a) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (b) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (c) civic infrastructure and community services, as required. (v) Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing. (vi) Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through a negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status. (vii) 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.

(viii) Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule. (ix) Disclose a final resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process promptly, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other stakeholders. (x) Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of the project’s costs and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation. (xi) Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation. (xii) Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports. 7.4 Policy differences and reconciliation 236. A summary comparison between the Uzbekistan law and regulation and ADB policies, and reconciliation provisions to fill the gaps is presented in Table 7.3 below:

ASPECT ADB NATIONAL UZBEK HARMONIZED REGULATIONS FRAMEWORK Thus, support of vulnerable groups of the population is provided on the regular base by the Government on central and local levels and does not require additional payments in connection with the project implementation.

8. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE, AND BENEFITS

237. This chapter details the eligibility and entitlements for compensation for assets affected by section 5 of NWRTLP. 8.1 Eligibility and the cut-off date

238. The cut-off date is normally set by host government procedures to establish displaced persons who are eligible to receive compensation and resettlement assistance by a project. The aim is not to inflict losses on people. Any person who purchases or occupies land in the demarcated project area after a cut-off date is not eligible for compensation or resettlement assistance. Fixed assets such as built structures, crops, fruit trees, and woodlots established after this date, will not be compensated. The good practice is to use the completion date of the census of displaced/affected persons as the cut-off date. They will, however, be given sufficient advance notice requesting them to vacate land parcels and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. Their dismantled structures will not be confiscated and will not be subject to fine or compensation.

239. In Uzbekistan, according to the procedures, there is no regulation on cut-off dates. Therefore, when a DMC lacks established procedures, therefore, in this updated LARP cut-off date for eligibility is determined as the last day of the census of AHs and IOL

240. Compensation eligibility will be limited by a cut-off date established based on the last day of the DMS/IOL of affected households. The cut-off date for section 5 of the Khorezm region territory is set as August 2, 2019, the last day of the census and DMS/IOL. Households who settle in the affected area and/or make any improvements on the land parcel to be acquired for the project after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation.

8.2 Compensation and valuation of assets

241. This section details the entitlements for compensation for assets affected by the project. According to ADB’s SPS (2009), AHs are eligible to receive compensations at replacement cost. The intention is that AP will be able to replace an expropriated asset of the same or better quality in the current market conditions. The full replacement cost consists of the five elements as:  Fair market value  transaction costs  Transitional and restoration cost  Per resolution # 146, the AHs are eligible to receive loss of agricultural income in the form of monetary compensation alternatives to land for land compensation.

8.4.1. Compensation for Land

242. The legally based agricultural land compensation method that exists in Uzbekistan is based on land to land compensation. According to resolution # 146 of CoM, in case of permanent and temporary land acquisition from AHs, agricultural loss of AHs due to permanent and temporary land acquisition will be compensated as monetary form. For this TL, the compensation for agricultural loss is based on monetary compensation only12. This approach has been selected, because not only the unit impacts are too small to justify both logistically and economically for replacement plots, but also preferable by the AHs.

12 In Uzbekistan is existing standardized valuation of agricultural land differentiating by type of land (i.e. irrigated, rainfed, pasture). This valuation will be determined by district land resources and cadaster department based on Resolution of Cabinet of Ministers 146 (25.05.2011).

243. Compensation for the land is aimed at providing a farmer whose land is acquired and used for project purposes with compensation for land labor and crop loss. Compensation for agriculture land will be on a “land for land” basis, with land being provided to owners by the District Hokimiyat following assessment by the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Commission. Such land will be of equal value/productivity in a nearby location and with comparable associated services/ facilities, or compensation to provide such services.

244. Alternatively, cash compensation for agricultural land at replacement cost will also be provided in case the AHs refuses land-for-land compensation or land for land compensation is not a convenient way for AHs. The compensation for the permanent loss of land use rights over the affected agricultural land will be compensated equivalent to 4 years net average income of the past 3 years (of the affected annual crop). Per resolution # 146 replacement cost includes followings:  The cost of the land plot under the ownership of legal and physical entities  The cost of residential houses, structures, unfinished structures and structures that are not directly affected but unviable to use after land acquisition.  The cost of fruit trees, windbreak forests and other perennial plantations  The cost of not harvested agricultural crops  The cost of agricultural income loss due to encumbrances, such as the establishment of safety zones for TL 1. Agricultural income loss in case of land for land compensation provided to AHs then agricultural income loss will not be provided)

245. In cases wherein all or parts of the lease holding become unviable, unaffected portions of a plot will also be compensated.

246. In cases wherein all or parts of the lease holding become unviable, unaffected portions of a plot will also be compensated. This matter will be determined by district land resources and the cadaster department and in case of disputes, this matter will be resolved with the support of local Hokimiyat and district agriculture and water resources department.

247. Transaction costs, registration fees, if any, will be borne by UNPN.

8.4.2. Trees

248. Loss of income from fruits trees and timber trees will be compensated in monetary value based on the market value of wood. Fruit trees will be evaluated based on the average annual income for the past 3 years multiplied by the remaining productive life of the fruit-bearing trees. In the case of loss of timber trees, compensation will be based on the market value of their dry wood volume. The compensation for trees will be free of the deduction for the value of the wood left to the AH. Monetary compensation was calculated by the Independent Valuator and valuation fee was paid by UNPN. The Independent Valuator has been consulted to use entitlements set in this LARP for affected fruit and timber trees during the valuation of affected trees.

8.4.3. Crops

249. Loss income from crops planted on the affected land will be compensated in monetary value at replacement cost based on average net income computed based on the average income over the past 3 years multiplied to construction period years to restore the lands for an affected portion of land. The results of the reports of the Design Institute Uzdavyerloyiha is used as a reference to pay compensation for crop loss to AHs in this LARP.

8.4.4. Loss of building and structures

250. Compensation for affected structures is based on the results of the market estimation of the cost of the specified object, including all the related payments, depreciation and transaction costs and relocation costs. Full compensation will be also provided for the affected substructures adjacent to the house. No deductions shall be made for salvageable materials.

251. The calculation of compensation of affected assets is calculated by the independent valuation company hired for this section. The results of the Independent valuation company for the valuation of structures is used as a reference to pay compensation to AHs in this LARP.

8.4.5. Loss of Income/Livelihood

252. Loss of income/livelihood will be compensated for the period of business interruption13. This will be calculated based on the estimated average monthly income in the past 3 years multiplied by the number of months of business interruption. Workers from the affected businesses will be paid for lost wages for the duration of business interruption up to 12 months. In case of agricultural workers losing their employment as a result of land acquisition, monetary compensation will correspond to their salary (in monetary value and in-kind) for the remaining part of the agricultural year or contractual period whichever is higher.

8.4.6. Vulnerable Households

253. Vulnerable households, including women, headed households without support, low- income household, a household headed by elderly with no support and household headed physically challenged people will be provided with a one-time additional allowance equivalent to 5 times of minimum wage14. Additionally, members of vulnerable households will also be prioritized15 in project-related employment. Since August 2019 the minimum wage was set at 223,000 UZS per month, thus the financial aid allowance is determined by the Presidential Decree #4086 for the 2019 year as 406,000-1,014,000 UZS per AHs. The mahallas and village assembly of citizens have a record of all households in the communities and will be tapped in identifying and certifying vulnerable households.

8.4.7. Compensation estimation process

254. All compensation estimates of the property and assets will be at the replacement value. The LARP sets eligibility and entitlement provisions establishing compensation rates in accordance with guidelines from the GOU and ADB SPS 2009.

255. All compensation and assistance to be provided for this section 5 of NWRTLP are summarized in the entitlement matrix below (See Table 8.1).

13 Business interruption includes the time for receiving a new land plot, and designing/building of a new business structure. 14 Defined by the Presidential Decree #4086 adopted on 26.12.2018 (see 7.2.14 for details) 15 Applicants should meet eligibility requirements in terms of qualification and skills

9. INCOME RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION

256. As part of the income restoration and rehabilitation measures, these AH will be provided compensation at replacement cost for their impacted structures, trees and land for land compensation of equal value and size will be provided.

257. There are 7 AHs whose structures will be demolished. Out of 7 AHs, 6 residential HHs are in Khazorasp district and census showed that they have constructed the foundation of building only. No APs have been resettled yet and APs are living in their current residential address which located in in the Pitnak town which is located 13 km away from their affected lands. Out of 7AHs In Bogot district 1 AH (Masharipova Gulnoza) using the affected building for the temporary period. Demolished foundation cannot be transported. In consideration of the fact that no APs will be relocated, and no salvaged materials will be transported, relocation assistance is not foreseen for AHs in Khazorasp district.

258. Saodat Masharipova’s current residential address is in Bogot town, which is around 15 km away from the affected structures. No APs are living permanently in the affected building. Masharipova Sadoat’s remaining part of the building (60% is being not affected) is suitable for living. Also, until the new residential structure is built, the affected structures will not be demolished since it is within the safety zone of TL not within the RoW for construction. No transition allowance is foreseen for the AH, but relocation allowance in the amount of 500,000 UZS will be provided for the AH (Masharipova Saodat) for the demolished structures will be provided. As part of the income restoration measures, salvaged materials after the demolition of structures will be allowed to be kept by AHs.

259. Land-based income restoration. Masharipova Saodat in Bogot district will be provided as part of the income restoration measures, a new land of equal size in a neighboring territory which enables to enlarge her territory. Bogot district Hokimityat will provide a new land. All the transaction costs in relation to registration and obtaining new cadastral documents will be paid by the Khokimiyat or by the UNPN.

260. Cash Assistance for Income Restoration. Income restoration assistance is also sometimes provided in cash. In this section 5, cash assistance in the form of 5 times of minimum wage will be provided for AHs who will lose their more than 10% of their productive assets.

261. In-kind assistance: According to the Resolution of CoM of Uzbekistan #97, after the demolition of the affected structures, the salvageable building materials shall be evaluated in order to deduct from the total amount of compensation to be paid to AHs. The Land Acquisition and Resettlement Commission will decide whether to deduct and give to AHs or to get all the building materials. In this Project as part of the livelihood restoration measures, all the salvageable materials and cut trees will be kept by AHs for free of charge. During the census, AH declared that most of the salvaged materials can be used to build new houses. Therefore, salvageable materials will be allowed to be taken away by the AHs after the demolition at no deductions.

10. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

262. This chapter provides an itemized budget for all resettlement activities, including all compensation and assistance and cost for implementation of LARP.

263. In order to ensure that sufficient funds are available for LAR tasks, the UNPN as the EA will allocate 100% of the cost of compensation at replacement cost and expected allowances estimated in each LARP plus contingencies before LARP implementation. PMU will be responsible for the timely allocation of the funds to implement the LARPs. The PMU will provide compensation for lost assets and other allowances in accordance with the entitlements agreed in the LARP and reflected in the Entitlement matrix.

264. The details of the compensation cost for each category of impact are provided in the following subsections. Enumerated compensation costs are estimated on the approximate manner, therefore numbers have to be updated and confirmed through valuation by licensed firms and request of tax/income statements before disbursement of compensation and assessment of actual impact.

10.1 Compensation for permanent land acquisition

265. In accordance with the Resolution of CoM # 146, land for land compensation will be provided for affected households in case of permanent land acquisition from physical and legal entities.

266. Compensation for the land is aimed at providing a farmer whose land is acquired and used for project purposes with compensation for restoring the affected lands to the previous condition. Compensation for agriculture land will be on a “land for land” basis, with land being provided to owners by the District Hokimiyat following assessment by the Land acquisition and resettlement commission. Such land will be of equal value/productivity in a nearby location and with comparable associated services/ facilities, or compensation to provide such services.

267. Alternatively, cash compensation for agricultural land at replacement cost will also be provided in case the AHs refuse land-for-land compensation. The compensation for the permanent loss of land use rights over the affected agricultural land will be compensated equivalent to 4 years net average profit of the past 3 years from affected land. In this LARP monetary compensation was preferred by AHs.

268. The compensation for the permanent land acquisition to be paid to affected agricultural farms is determined by the following formula:

C= APL *AL Where: C – Compensation for permanent land acquisition APL – Agricultural income loss per ha calculated based on the net income for the last 3 years multiplied to 4 years, UZS AL – Total affected lands, ha

269. According to the conformation letter provided by Confirmation letter (Annex 27) from the Khorezm regional land resources and the State cadaster Department, compensation for permanent land acquisition has been already paid in 2015-2016 by the UNPN in accordance with the Decree of the Khorezm Region (Annex 28) which was also described in draft LARP. Due diligence of the documents regarding the payment of compensation for permanent land acquisition have been carried out by the Resettlement consultant . Therefore, in order to avoid double payment, compensation for permanent land acquisition is not foreseen in this LARP.

10.2 Compensation for temporary land acquisition

270. Compensation for temporary land acquisition will be based on the net loss income from crops planted on the affected land equivalent to construction years multiplied to the net average income of the past 3 years. The total construction period is established per final design as three years. Therefore, the construction period should not exceed this period. Unaffected portions of an affected arable plot will also be compensated if the same becomes unviable after impact. Inflation rate shall be taken into account in the calculation of future agricultural income loss

271. In 2015 UE has transferred compensation for temporary land acquisition for a period of 3 years. Since 3 years period was ended in 2018 a new temporary land allocation act has been done and UNPN shall pay affected farmers for temporary land acquisition once again.

272. According to the UNPN, the construction of Towers and stringing of TLs will be finished by the end of this year. Therefore, starting from the next cropping season affected farmers will be eligible to plant a new crop on affected lands. PIC shall monitor LARP Implementation and approve that construction works will be finished until next cropping season which is spring 2020. In case of delays, then AHs shall be entitled to the next year’s crop loss.

273. The local Land Use Planning Institutes (Uzdavyerloyiha) has performed land acquisition and land allocation procedures. Loss income from crops planted on the affected land will be compensated in monetary value at replacement cost based on average net income computed based on the annual average income for this year to restore the lands for an affected portion of land.

274. In total 190 AHs will have an impact on their crops. The types of crops that will be affected include cotton, rice, corn, alfalfa, and vegetables. In terms of impact on the total lands under crops cotton and rice are equally affected (44 %), but in terms of compensation, the AHs will receive more compensation for the affected rice crop than cotton. The summary of the compensation for affected crops is given in Table 10.1 below while detail information on compensation per AHs is given in (Annex 16).

Table 10.1: Summary of the compensation payments for affected crops

275. During the census and inventory of losses carried out in July-August 2019, there were crops planted on the affected agricultural land. Nowadays, in December month most of the crops could have been already harvested and there can be no crops at all on the affected lands.

Therefore, during the implementation of this LARP and payment of compensation AHs, there can be a situation where no compensation will be needed for crops since there will be no crops on fields. So, the payment for affected crops listed in this LARP will be subject for revision during the implementation stage.

10.3 Compensation for affected trees

276. Compensation for affected trees has been calculated by the Independent Valuation Company “Estimation Standart” hired by the UNPN for section 3 and section 5. The Independent Valuation Company (IVC) has been consulted to use entitlements set in this LARP for affected fruit and timber trees during the valuation of affected trees. As a result of estimation IVC provided valuation report for the affected trees which was used in this LARP (Annex 17).

277. The selection of the Valuation company has been consulted with the AHs and they agreed on that. Therefore, the costs of the valuation have been paid by the UNPN. No reimbursements are foreseen for the affected farmers for the valuation fee.

278. In total 918 trees were evaluated by the independent valuation company. The results of the valuation report have been given in Table 10.2 below.

10.4 Compensation for demolished residential houses and structures

279. Monetary compensation at full replacement rate for affected structure/fixed assets free of salvageable materials, depreciation and transaction costs. All the costs in relation to the registration of new land, cadastral document fees shall be recovered by UNPN or Local Khokimiyat.

280. Monetary Compensation at replacement cost was evaluated by the Independent Valuation company “by “Estimation Standart LLC” for AHs located in Hazorasp district and “Mezon Baholash LLC” for AH located in Bogot district through June - August 2019 (Please refer to Annexes 18 to Annex 24). It was agreed with AHs that they would hire an independent valuation company on their choice, and then UNPN would pay the valuation fee. Therefore, in addition to the replacement cost compensation for the affected structures, AHs will be reimbursed for the valuation fee.

281. Salvageable materials after the demolition will be kept by the AHs as livelihood restoration measures.

282. The valuation company used a recovery cost which is the estimated value in current prices at the date of valuation of an exact copy of the valued structures. Table 10.3 below details the results of the valuation reports prepared by the valuation companies.

10.5 Relocation and additional assistance to vulnerable AHs

283. In Section 5, there is no physical relocation of the members of the family as there are no persons living in the affected structures. In the Hazorasp district, all the affected structures consist of a concrete foundation that cannot be moved which means no relocation possible. In the district of Bogot, the AH (Masharipova Saodat) uses the residential structure for temporary housing during the growing seasons. AH will continue to use the remaining part of the building (60% is being not affected). Also, the building will not be demolished until the new residential structure will be constructed. Also, affected lands will not be expropriated from the AH but limited to construct residential structures. A residential structure can be built within the existing territory of the AH. However, the affected structures can be still used for non-residential purposes without demolishing them. As part of the income restoration measures, salvaged materials after the demolition of structures will be allowed to be kept by AHs, therefore

67 relocation assistance in the amount of 500,000 UZS will be provided for the AH (MasharipovaSaodat) Based on these facts, a relocation assistance was included in addition to other forms of assistance are included in this updated LARP.

284. As stated before affected residential structures have not been finished yet, therefore no person has been settled yet. AHs have other residential houses in different locations. Therefore, no displacement of HH members will be observed. So, no assistance for the transition period will be provided. Land for land compensation will be provided for each AHs.

285. Census has found 8 AHs who are categorized as vulnerable heads of the AHs, including, woman-headed household without any support in working-age people in the family (50%), household headed by physically/mentally challenged person (37.5%) and elderly headed household without any support in working-age people in the family (12.5%). These AHs are entitled one-time allowance in the amount of 1,014,000 UZS per household.

286. Additionally, members of vulnerable households will also be prioritized19 in project- related employment. In compliance with Resolution#866 of the CoM of Uzbekistan of 14 October, 2019 individuals with disabilities and low-income families are receiving an additional payment of 50,000 UZS per month in addition to their allowances for the purchase of bread products by the Ministry of Finance of Uzbekistan.

287. In addition to vulnerability allowance, AHs losing residential structures will be provided 1,014, 000 UZS per household for severity impact.

288. In total 15,710,000 UZS will be paid for support allowances for vulnerable AHs and severely affected households. Table 10.4 elaborates on the type of allowance, unit rate, number of AHs, and total support allowances.

289. During the census, affected residential households declared that they are not living in these residential houses since the building structure has not been fully built yet. Therefore, during the census, no family members except the head of HH presented. Also, investigation of the rooms of the houses showed that AHs have not yet brought any goods. Currently affected residential AH is living at other residential houses. During the social compliance audit report, this information needs to be verified once again. Additionally, the Contractor for civil works will be ready to assist residential AH with the transportation of the family members, goods and chattels to temporary and permanent relocation sites. This will be also attracted to the Contractor’s contract as well.

290. In cases where an AH requires support which would typically involve the provision of labor for the dismantling of house/building and transportation of materials, UNPN will provide the necessary support through the Contractor responsible for Construction.

10.6 Summary Budget

291. The LARP budget, based on compensation calculations for losses to agricultural land, crops, agricultural land replacement, building and structures, and support allowances are estimated to be 728,109,081 UZS equivalent to US$ 78,057.

12. LARP IMPLEMENTATION

12.1 General 313. The implementation of this updated LARP for section 5 of NWRTLP will be scheduled after review and approval of the final LARP by ADB. All activities related to the land acquisition and resettlement will be planned to ensure that compensation is paid before taking possession of land and commencement of civil works. Public consultation, monitoring, and grievance redress will be undertaken intermittently throughout the project duration. Construction will be initiated when compensation is fully paid. The completion of LARP implementation will be documented through the LARP implementation compliance report (s) and approved by ADB.

12.2 LARP Implementation Stage 314. Upon the approval of final LARP, all the arrangements for fixing the compensation and the disbursement needs to be done which includes issuance of identity cards (IDs), payment of all eligible compensation and assistance; initiation of land development process; site preparation for delivering the site to contractors for construction and finally commencement of the civil works. Payment of compensation and allowances under the LARP will commence after some preparatory tasks have been completed, but before the civil works commence. These tasks are:  Disclosure of LARP on the websites and Telegram channel of the UNPN  Disbursement of compensation and assistance  Grievance resolution (if any)  LARP Compliance Report submission  Notice to proceed for civil works construction  Restoration of public land by the contractor  Monitoring 315. During implementation, the AHs will need to be informed about their rights and options, at which point they will have their say and discuss matters that need clarification. Cash compensation amount and land for land compensation will be presented to each eligible AHs for consideration and endorsement before cash payment. A grievance redress committee will be established throughout the project duration.

12.3 Procedures for Payment of Compensation 316. Compensation payments will be made before any project use of land, loss of assets or physical resettlement takes place unless those payments are staggered to enable affected people to begin preparation of new sites. The income/livelihood restoration activities may continue alongside project construction activities. The overall responsibility for payments of compensation for this Project is under UNPN. The district Hokimiyats is responsible for the provision of land for land compensation.

317. DMS including the decision of Hokims and agreement letter from each affected household regarding land acquisition are already submitted for this section 5. Each AH will receive their compensation payable into a bank account opened by the affected household. Such sums will be transferred to the bank account of each AH(s), according to the banking documentation provided by them. The AHs will be individually informed by the bank upon the transfer of compensation into the account. The transfer of payment will be made after public disclosure among AHs.

318. In the event of an appeal in the Court, when no agreement is reached or the compensation payable is not agreed upon between the UNPN and the landowner, such compensation shall be determined by the Court.

13. MONITORING AND REPORTING

320. While effective institutional arrangements can facilitate implementation, effective monitoring ensures that the course and pace of implementation continue as originally planned. Monitoring is important for ensuring that the LARP is effectively implemented, unforeseen impacts related to land acquisition activities can be identified and appropriate measures to address the same can be taken in a timely manner.

321. The implementation of LARP will be internally monitored by UNPN. UNPN has hired Fichtner GmbH & C.KG as Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) for monitoring and reporting of LARP implementation. Resettlement Expert of PIC will work closely with PMU’s Safeguards Specialist and the engineering team.

322. The monitoring process will be in close coordination with local Hokimiyat and CBOs. Internal monitoring will be carried out in parallel to project implementation and at different stages respectively. Through the monitoring process, UNPN will ensure that:

(i) in case if any unanticipated social risks and impacts arise during construction, implementation or operation of the Project that was not considered in the LARP, promptly inform ADB of the occurrence of such risks or impacts, with a detailed description of the event and proposed corrective action plan; and (ii) report any actual or potential breach of compliance with the measures and requirements set forth in the LARP promptly after becoming aware of the breach.

323. The indicators for internal monitoring will be subject related to immediate activities for LARP implementation and its outputs and results. This information will be collected directly from the field and from the District land resources and cadaster department. It will be used to assess the progress and results of LARP implementation, and to adjust the work program, if necessary. The quarterly reports will be incorporated into the standard supervision reports to ADB. Internal monitoring will continue until all construction works are completed and continuously reported by submitting semi-annual reports. These reports should be submitted to the UE and ADB. The PMU will disclose relevant information from such reports to affected persons promptly upon submission to ADB. The specific monitoring milestones will be:

(i) Information disclosure to AH; (ii) Status of land acquisition and payments of compensation for land; (iii) Compensation for affected structures and other assets; (iv) Payments for loss of assets;

324. The Resettlement Expert will prepare the LARP compliance report to record whether the LARP has been implemented and all AHs have been compensated prior to the commencement of civil work. The Resettlement Expert will compile a full report with including extended detailed information on actual land acquisition and impact, listing affected households and compensation payments. Based on that full implementation report a Compliance Report will be submitted by UNPN to ADB.

325. The Monitoring/Compliance report will be used by ADB and EA as a basis to issue a notice to proceed with civil work activities to the contractor for site preparation. The report will be published on the website of the UNPN and ADB
