1.2. Social Safeguards Parameters

4. Project classification - As per ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy (1995) this project is classified as Category-B for Involuntary Resettlement and Category-C for Indigenous People. The Construction works under the project are limited to upgrading existing sewerage infrastructure within existing facility boundaries. Screening during project preparation showed no impacts on indigenous peoples and based on ADB’s Policy on Indigenous People (1998) it is classified as Category-C.

5. A Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) has been introduced for this project by ADB together with Ministry and the CMC. The GRM is expected to solve project related impacts efficiently to the satisfaction of the affected people and the stakeholders

6. Financing - All social safeguard and resettlement related activities are financed by Government of Sri Lanka as a part of the co-financing to the project.

7. Resettlement Plans - A Resettlement Planning Document was prepared in May 2009 and was subsequently approved by the ADB. Resettlement Plans for all major civil works contracts were also prepared during the project implementation stage and approved by ADB. National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) has been considered in preparation of these documents to avoid unnecessary disturbance to the people and the project implementation. Details on significant changes to the project’s originally planned safeguard activities are submitted in Supplementary Resettlement Plans, for MIH&PCLG and ADB approval. Socio economic surveys were carried out in preparing the Resettlement Plans and the following activities were identified in order to mitigate any social safeguard issues during construction activities.

Impact Suggested mitigation measure • Transportation and • Road sections should be developed stage by stage (staggered access difficulties rehabilitation) without excavating the entire area at once • Difficulties faced by • Construction work should be completed in a speedy manner vehicle users • Exploring all possibilities to use alternative access roads • Environmental • Conducting construction activities during night hours (only in related impact such suitable sub-project’s sections). as dust, noise, • Explore possibilities to apply trenchless technology in laying vibration, odor, etc. pipes (especially, in narrow roads). • health and safety • Effective management of the project site (clearing the road, issues providing steel plates as temporary entrances to houses during construction period) • Providing safe vehicle parks during construction phase • Implementation of the environment management plan to minimize environment related impact. • take necessary action to prevent vector based diseases • consider workers’ health • provide First Aid medical service • health education • provide potable drinking water in all work places and accommodations • shall provide hygiene facilities to every work place and accommodation Table-1

8. Planning and implementation – Socio economic surveys were done before preparation of each resettlement plan. Public awareness programs were carried out under the respective civil work contracts,

5 and people are informed of the construction activities and the complaint handling procedure of the project, beforehand. Display boards with contact details are kept at sites for any affected people to make a complaint. Complaint registers are also maintained in all sites. Complaints are handled through the Grievance Redress Mechanism as prescribed in the Resettlement Planning Document.

9. Monitoring and Reporting - CMC’s Project Management Unit (PMU) regularly visits the sites and notes down all social safeguards activities against the details provided in the Resettlement Plans. PMU reports to ADB on bi-annual reports on its observations and updates. PMU’s Sociologist and Grievance Redressal Officer is the focal point for all monitoring and reporting activities. Project Director (PD) supervises PMU’s Sociologist.

10. During reporting period ADB review mission has also reviewed project progress on 19.02.2019 and mission has visited all construction sites to check the construction progress.
