I.INTRODUCTION

A. Background 1. The Government of Bangladesh is developing Secondary towns to improve living standards, particularly in the poorer areas, and to provide an alternative destination for rural dwellers that would otherwise join the migration to larger metropolitan centres, through Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement (Sector) project (UGIIP-3). UGIIP-3 is being implemented as a sector loan approach. After the successful implementation of Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Projects (UGIIP I and II) in the selected Pourashava as, the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have planned to implement a similar project (UGIIP-III) in pre-selected 31 Pourashava (Figure 1) over a period of 6 years (2014 to 2020).

2. The impact will be improved living environment in project towns. The outcome will be improved municipal service delivery and urban governance in project towns. UGIIP-3 will improve existing and provide new municipal infrastructures including (i) roads; (ii) Drainages; (iii) water supply system; (iv)solid waste management facilities; (v) slaughter houses; (vi) markets, community centres/auditorium, bus and truck terminals and river ghats; (vii) public toilets; and (viii) others such as provision for street lighting and improvement of slums.

3. A sector-lending approach is being used for the project as it has been well established and successfully practiced in the UGIIP-1 and 2. In accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 requirements a Resettlement Framework (RF) have been prepared.

4. During project preparation, resettlement plans (RPs) were prepared for 3 sample Pourashavas covering roads, drainage, kitchen market and solid waste management subprojects. The RPs concluded that the project will have only temporary impacts and therefore, UGIIP-3 has been categorized as resettlement Category B as per ADB SPS 2009. As a basic development principle, significant resettlement impacts (Category A type project) should be avoided to the extent possible in future subprojects. For any components, the social and resettlement assessments documents will be formulated and approved by ADB before any physical activities start.

5. LGED will ensure that no physical displacement or economic displacement will occur until (i) compensation at full replacement cost has been paid to each displaced person, and (ii) other entitlements listed in the RPs have been provided.

6. This Resettlement and Social Impact Assessment Report has been prepared for water supply. Improvement subproject of Joypurhat Pourashava taken up in phase-2 Package Nr. UGIIP-III-2/JOYP/WS/01/2016. After selection and completion of the designs of the proposed schemes, the safeguard team of the Management, Design and Supervision Consultants (MDSC) conducted resettlement and social impact assessments through thorough investigation of different social safeguard issues including land acquisition and resettlement requirements as per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009). The resettlement and social impact assessment report for Joypurhat Pourashava has been prepared based on the feasibility study and detailed engineering designs.

7. During investigations, it was revealed that the water supply subproject proposed for improvement under Package Nr. UGIIP-III-2/JOYP/WS/01/2016 will be implemented on the Pourashava own land and due to the improvement/ construction of the aforesaid water supply scheme are not expecting to have neither any physical nor any economic displacement of any people. As a result, there is no possibility of land acquisition and no structure affected, none found to require relocation, and consequently no involuntary resettlement (IR) impact are anticipating thus the subproject is classified as Category C for IR. Under the circumstances, this report may be treated as due diligence report (DDR) with respect to social safeguard issues for the concern subproject.

B. Institutional Set-up

8. The Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) and the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), both under the Local Government Division (LGD) of the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (M/O LGRD&C) and having experience in managing urban and water supply projects financed by ADB, are the executing agencies of the project. The participating Pourashavas are the implementing agencies (IA) with a project implementation unit (PIU) within the Pourashava structure. Implementation activities will be overseen by a Project Management Office (PMO). Management, Design and Supervision Consultants (MDSC) and Governance Improvement and Capacity Development Consultants (GICDC) teams will provide support for (i) detailed engineering design, contract documents preparation and safeguards facilitation; (ii) project management and administrative support; (iii) assistance in supervising construction; (iv) awareness raising on behavioural change activities. Safeguards officers will be appointed in PMO and PIUs and will be responsible to undertake day to day safeguards tasks and requirements including implementation of project’s grievance redress mechanism.

II.SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION 9. Location: is located in the north-west corner of Bangladesh under Rajshashi division. It is bordered by the West Bangal state of India to the north-west, to the north, Badalgachi & Dhamurhat Upazila of district to the west, Gobindagonj to the east, and to the south. Joypurhat Pouroshova is at the Joypurhat district headquarters. The area of Joypurhat Pourashava is 20.72.km. The total population of Pourashava is 69033 (2011) of which 35278 are male and 33755 are female. The density of population is 3332 per sq.km. Joypurhat Pourashava consist of 9(nine) wards. The rate of increase of population is 2.20% (BBS 2008) which is higher than the national rate of increase of 1.39% (BBS 2008) and the number of household is 16,555.

10. Components: Joypurhat Pourashava has submitted the water supply subproject package for water supply improvement with production tube wells, new pipe laying and rehabilitation of pipes. Package includes 5 production tube wells (PTW) (installation & rehabilitation), complete with pump houses, 01 Overhead tank (680 m3), and 34.3 km new pipe lines connection in different words etc. These schemes will increase the water supply system coverage. The Package Nr. is UGIIP-III-2/NABI/WS/01/2016.

11. Presently, water supply system exists in the Pourashava. 10 nos. of PTWs were installed earlier. At present only 07 PTWS are functioning. Average production per day is 5,800 m3. Average operational hour is 11 hours per day. Around 60 kilometres of total pipelines diameter ranging from 100mm to 300mm is available in the PS, out of which around 14.0 km is transmission and remaining 46.0 km is distribution pipelines. Different types of service connections are existed in the Pourashava; sizes of pipes ranging from 13mm to 25mm. Total 2

WS- JOY

no. of service connections are 3,900. Out of which 3,679 nos. is domestic and 221 nos. is commercial connections. Both metered and non-metered type connections are found in the Pourashava during field visit of MDS consultants. 2,100 nos. of connections are metered and 1,800 nos. of connections are without meters. 3 nos. of street hydrants also exist in the Pourahava. However, 2,500 new service connections (including 1,800 connections without meter) will be constructed with meter. Efficiency of existing 04 nos. submersible pumps are decreasing day by day. Filter bed sand condition of IRP is not up to the mark. Some repair and maintenance works also is required. So, Pourashava has given priority in improvement or rehabilitation of water supply component.

12. The components of the sub-project seek to upgrade and expand the urban services. The water supply schemes are located in different wards of the Pourashava. The proposal is concerned with activities, which the most acute needs for better urban services and facilities to inhabitants of the Pourashava. Participatory process, involving the stakeholders, has been adopted in selecting the subproject components. Figure-1 shows the location of Joypurhat Pourashava, Figure- 2 shows the Proposed Water Supply Area in Joypurhat Pourashava and in Figure- 3 shows the strip maps of water supply subproject.

13. The Sub-project contains 07 (Seven) Test Tube-well, 07 (Seven) production Tube-wells (PTW) including 05 pump houses, Construction of an overhead Tank (Capacity 680 m3), Expansion a) distribution 32.0 km pipeline network, Construction of 3.50 km transmission pipelines, Construction 2500 Nos. of new connections & Establishment of existing 1800 Nos. Water Service connections with meter etc. All subsequent designs have been done according to the Pourashava/ PMO demand, recommendations and suggestions. Table-1 shows the subproject components including possible social impact and ownership of land.

14. The measures taken in selecting the components: The subproject went through the process of meeting the selection criteria (general and technical), environmental and social safeguard screening and conforming to the municipal infrastructure development plan (PDP) and water supply master plan prepared for Joypurhat Pourashava in UGIIP-II. Locations and sitting of the proposed water supply considered: (i) locating components on government-owned land and/or within existing right-of-way (ROW) to avoid acquisition of land, (ii) taking all possible measures in design and selection of sites to avoid resettlement impacts; if needed (iv) avoiding where possible locations that will result in destruction/disturbance to historical and cultural places/values; (v) avoiding tree-cutting where possible; and (vi) ensuring all planning and design interventions and decisions are made in consultation with beneficiaries, local communities and reflecting inputs from public consultation and disclosure for site selection.

15. Implementation Schedule. Substantial time is required spanning the continuum of subproject preparation, approval, survey, design & estimate, contract award and contract

execution. Efforts need to be made to follow the schedule of timely implementation of work. Normally the construction work season in Bangladesh runs from October to May (eight months). The Construction works are sometimes impeded for the following reasons:

 Early floods in April/May,  Late floods in September/October,  Natural calamities (cyclone/tornado, excessive floods) occur in April/May and October/November.

16. Normally, the best construction period is only for 6 months a year (October to March). The construction period is sometimes squeezed to 4 months due to natural calamities. However, sometimes, based on time constraint or expediency, construction work may even need to be carried out in the monsoon. Whenever possible, parallel activities can be implemented and consequently, quantum of work can be maximized through efficient planning and adoption of best available practices.

17. Considering the above facts, it has been estimated that the implementation of phase- II of UGIIP-III, water supply of Joypurhat Pourashava will cover 16-months period (tentative), and major works are advisable to take place from January, 2017 to November, 2017. The tentative time-schedule for implementation (as indication) is shown in Figur-4:

The people expressed their happiness for getting project assistance for improvement of the Pourashava facilities. The proposed water supplies under the subprojects were a long felt demand of the people of the town. The records of public consultation have been shown in APPENDIX-1

24. Transect walks. The MDSC Regional Resettlement Specialist together with Joypurhat Pourashava engineering staff conducted transect walks during November to December 2015 to do rapid appraisal of the proposed locations and alignments of subprojects using a standard IR checklist annexed with this report as Appendix 2.

25. Reconnaissance Survey. The MDSC’s social safeguard team visited Joypurhat Pourashava during 20 December to 22 December/2015 to measure the length of the proposed water supply subprojects under Package No. UGIIP-III-2/JOYP/WS/01/2016, count the number of trees, structures, natural resources, mobile vendors/ hawkers, and other facilities, etc. along ROWs, conduct informal discussions with local communities, formal discussions with Pourashava engineers, and visual assessment of IR impacts. The output of the survey was discussed with the design engineers of the project to incorporate into the designs to minimize the IR impacts.

26. Census of affected persons and inventory of affected assets. As nobody was found who may be affected by the subproject activities, no structures to be removed/relocated/demolished, and no mobile hawkers/vendors in the subproject alignments, the census of affected persons and inventory of affected assets was not required.

27. Social Safeguard Unit of MDSC has verified the proposed water supply subproject through the questionnaire that is titled” Initial Evaluation Assessment Format”. Through this format, the team members have organized consultation with water supply subprojects users and gathered feedback on the sub projects. Finally, it has been concluded that there is no impacts on involuntary resettlement.

IV.FINDINGS

28. Involuntary Resettlement. As per results of the data gathering, detailed survey of the sites and alignments together with review of land records made, the IR Checklist has been completed (Appendix 2). The results show the subprojects is considered as Category C, i.e., the subproject is considered as Category C, i.e. the subproject does not require temporary or permanent land acquisition, and there are no impacts involving the loss of land, structures, crops and trees, businesses or income.

29. All water supply subprojects components under Package Nr: UGIIP-III- 2/JOYP/WS/01/2016 will involve construction & installation of water supply schemes and improvement activities for the existing system as mentioned in table-1. The schemes will be 22

WS- JOY

implemented on the Pourashava owned land and along the edge of the existing roads. MDSC together with PMO confirmed ownership and land records of Joypurhat Pourashava of the existing pipe line and required widths in the ROWs therefore no land acquisition is required. Ownership certificate is given in Appendix-5.

30. The Social Safeguard Unit of MDSC of UGIIP-III further verified and checked the water supply subproject through the questionnaire that is titled “Initial Evaluation Assessment Format”. Through this format, the team members have organized consultation with subprojects users and gathered feedback on the subprojects. There are no encroachers, squatters, mobile vendors and hawkers along the ROW of proposed water supply subprojects. Thus, it has been concluded that there is no IR impact and the subproject is classified as Category C for IR. For recording and documentation purpose the following are the socio-economic information and profile of survey participants:

(i) No BPL on proposed subproject location and alignments (ii) No indigenous people (IP) on proposed subproject location and along the proposed water supply alignments.

31. There is sufficient space along the ROWs for staging area, construction equipment, and stockpiling of materials. Besides, there is no possibility of affecting any structure needing relocation by the subproject activities as per detailed design of the components. Moreover, there is no possibility of loss of livelihood, neither permanent nor temporary due to loss of land/ assets occupied or squatting by anybody, is expected for the proposed development. Therefore, the potential impact of the subproject on privately owned land/ assets has been fully eliminated, and correspondingly, no issues relating to involuntary resettlement will occur during implementation of the subproject.

32. Although concerned water supply subprojects schemes unlikely to have any IR or resettlement impact, however, the construction/ installation of the sub-project components may cause minor temporary disturbances limited to dust and noise, movement of people, etc. which will be limited to the construction period only and can easily be mitigated by quick and timely completion of works, taking dust suppression measures removal of debris regularly, providing alternate roads/ pathways and access to houses during construction erecting different road furniture where required to make the vehicular movement safe and to minimize road accidents. For mitigating noise pollution, brick crushing yards, bituminous hot mix plants and concrete batching plants shall be located sufficiently away from habitation (at least 1km). Workers at the vicinity of strong noise shall wear earplugs.

33. All the above measures will be taken by the contractors during construction as per conditions included in the contract documents. The contractors shall avoid congested areas and narrow roads for carrying construction materials and equipment to site and schedule transportation to avoid peak traffic period on certain roads and sequence activities to minimize disturbances. The contractors shall also maintain vehicles and construction machinery and prohibit the use of air horns in settlement areas. Thus impacts during construction phase can be

23

WS- JOY

mitigated through good construction practices as documented in the subproject’s initial environmental examination report and environmental management plan (EMP).

34. Table- 2 summarizes the findings of the data collection, field visits and surveys. If in the course of subproject implementation land will be required and stakeholders are willing to donate any land, donation procedures will follow the RF and to be endorsed by an independent third party evaluator (e.g., civil society and non ex- officio representatives of the TLCC) to ensure there is no significant social and economic impact due to land donation.

VI.MITIGATION OF SOCIAL CONCERNS

56. Although the road and drainage schemes under the subproject of UGIIP-III construction/improvement is not expecting any land acquisition and involuntary resettlement, physical or economic displacement, or temporary restrictions to land use. However, some

31

assumptions were made that during civil works for different schemes, pedestrians, residents and shop keepers/different business operators carrying out different economic activities particularly beside the road; customers might face temporary disturbances in connection to movement and operate their business. In order to avoid even minor temporary disturbances during the construction activities, the following measures are suggested to eliminate such impacts:  Informing all the residents, local households and traders about the nature and duration of works in advance, so that they can make necessary preparation to face the situation.  Providing wooden walkways/ planks across trenches for pedestrians and metal sheets where vehicles access is required.  Increasing the workforce and using the appropriate equipment to complete the work in a minimum timeframe.  Suggest people to wear musk to protect from dust problem during construction.  Other social concern, if any, shall be properly solved by the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) under the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) of the project to be formed by the PIU.  Any other preventive measures to be adopted as required considering the situation during construction. 57. The above mitigation measures during construction activities will ease the temporary disturbances in connection to movement and operation business of the local residents, pedestrian customers and clients from shopping locally or using the usual services from local business.

VII.CONCLUSIONS

58. Important findings of the study in connection to social safeguard issues are (i) improvement of water supply will be carried out on the Pourashava owned land and along the edge of ROWs of the existing alignments of the roads and there will be no requirement of land acquisition; (ii) most of the pipeline will be constructed in the road side shoulder along the edge of the road; (iii) there are no structures, houses, shops, trees or any other establishments on the ROWs of the proposed water supply subprojects alignments; (iv) as a result no dislocation, demolition of houses or structures will be required due to the development activities; (vi) the local people unanimously welcomed the project and showed positive attitude to the improvement of the proposed subproject. None was found to oppose the subproject; (vii) urban residents and the rural residents in surrounding hinterland will benefit from the proposed water supply subproject for making available the pure drinking water creating better access to urban markets & social services provided in the project town;(viii) no potential negative impact could not be identified and (ix) business or economic activities will not be impeded resulting losses in income or asset.

59. A due diligence process was conducted for the subproject to examine the IR issues particularly with respect to the requirements of the ADB’s SPS (2009) and ARIPO. The sup project of water supply proposed will be of straight forward construction on the existing ROWs. So, implementation of the subproject will neither affect any land or structure. Any disturbances will be limited to construction period only. The likely impacts are short-term, localized and could easily be avoided or mitigated. The results of the study suggest that the impact of this subproject does not incur any land acquisition, resettlement or economic displacement.

60. The Project Director (PD) will carry out internal monitoring through the PMO and PIU with the support from MDSC. For this subproject, PIU will provide PMO regular updates on (i) GRM

32

establishment; (ii) report of public consultations and disclosures conducted; (iv) complaints/grievance received, if any, and resolutions conducted; and (iv) unanticipated IR impacts during subproject implementation not included in this due diligence report.

61. Based on the findings presented in this due diligence report, the Joypurhat Pourashava Subproject Package Nr: UGIIP-III-2/JOYP/WS/01/2016 will not require land acquisition and will not cause any involuntary resettlement impacts. There is also no IPs identified in the subproject area. Thus it is concluded that the subproject is Category C for IR and Category C for IP as per ADB SPS 2009.
