ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN SUMMARY

Project Title: Science and Technology Development Project Project Code: P-AO-IA0-006 Country: ANGOLA Department: OSHD Division: OSHD.2

a) Brief description of the project and key environmental and social components

The government of Angola is putting in place a Scientific and Technological Development Project with the AfDB support. This project is part of the implementation of the National Policy for Science, Technology and Innovation – NPSTI, in order to foster the contribution of STI to industrialization, economic diversification and development in the country and also is aligned with the National Development Plan. To ensure that science and technology provide the answers that society and economic development need, it is necessary to encourage R&D, to promote interaction between universities, research institutions, companies and civil society organizations, to foster innovation and to disseminate knowledge. Policies for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) seek to create conditions so that those developments become a reality.

The STDP is integrated on the AfDB strategie 2013 – 2022 related to human capital and gender. The objective of the STDP is to contribute to the diversification of the economy through scientific and technological innovation. One of the components of this project is the Technological Park of Dande, which will be located in the city of Mabubas, northern Bengo province, belonging to the Academic Region nº 1. Dande is a municipality in the province of Bengo, Angola, based in the city of Mabubas.

The project is classified as Category II, accordingly with environmental and social procedures of the AfDB. The environment and social negative impacts will be mainly related to the construction phase of the Technological Park.

e) Institutional arrangements and capacity building requirements

The implementation of the ESMP will be under the direct responsibility of the Project Management Unit (PMU) located in the Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with the National Environment Impact Assessment Authority and Dande Municipality. The PMU will appoint an expert who will be in charge of coordinating the implementation of the ESMP and the production of supervision reports and / or environmental audit and social reports.

f) Public consultations and disclosure requirements

Consultation is a key element of the process of decision-making and therefore an ownership tool of project activities by beneficiaries and stakeholders. It is strongly recommended to continue with formal consultations with local governments, local communities and local NGO’s in public places. Traditional authorities including NGOs, businesses and professional corporations and related departments should be invited to these meetings. Public inputs will be collected, in particular the ones on environmental and social measures suggested by the ESMP. During the implementation of the project, all stakeholders and partners should be regularly consulted. The ESMP will be available, by the PMU, for any comments, through the press and in public awareness and information meetings in the location where project activities will be carried out. Moreover, the ESMP will also be published in the AfDB website.

g) Estimated costs

Considering that the final design of the Technological Park is not yet known, most of the costs of the proposed measures are integrated into Contractors and Subcontractors budgets, except for costs related to (i) information and awareness campaigns for local authorities and populations, (ii) simplified environmental site assessments, (iii) capacity building and training of key stakeholders directly involved in the implementation of the ESMP and iv) monitoring missions by the Ministry of Environment.

The estimated cost of the activities to be undertaken in the implementation of the ESMP, during 2 years, is the amount of USD 56.000,00. However, this will be further increased by the final design project activities that will take environmental mitigation measures into account.

At this stage, the final site is determined, which means that the land that will be affected may not be subject to expropriation, because it is public (municipal land) and there are no kind of activities in place. Local authorities reassured that the site has no risk of expropriation and that the construction activities of the Technological Park will not result in physical and socio-economic displacements. However, the final design will determine the need or not to proceed with expropriations even if it is due to the opening of temporary or permanent roads or quarry exploration. These criteria will be taken into account in the selection of sites (roads, quarries, etc) to prevent potential uncontrolled and unauthorized occupation before work and to avoid conflicts. Construction phase assessment Nuisance during the construction phase will be relatively minor on the physical environment (soil, water, relief, geology), but will be relatively moderate on the biological environment, and moderate to major on the immediate human environment. Due to the construction activities, noise, dust, risk of accidents, uncontrolled discharge of waste with the risks associated to public health and safety, increased infection STD/ HIV / AIDS will be a major issue. However, the effects will be controlled if the provisions of the ESMP are planned and implemented rigorously. Operational phase assessment The operation of the Technological Park could result in nuisance in terms of insecurity, poor sanitation, solid and liquid waste, etc.. However, the measures in the environmental management plan (health and safety measures, etc.) and environmental monitoring plan during the operation phase will prevent or significantly reduce the negative impacts previously identified. The Building Management Service, responsible for the Technical Park operations and maintenance, will especially manage this. Final Recommendations The assessments above concluded that the construction activities of the Technological Park, as presented, are environmentally and socially sustainable. However, this conclusion only makes sense if all measures defined in this ESMP are fully and rigorously implemented.
