KABANGUKA 1 Regional Express Train (TER) Dakar Summary of Full Resettlement Plan Project Name : DAKAR REGIONAL EXPRESS TRAIN (TER) Country : SENEGAL Project Reference No. : P-SN-DC0-003 Department : OITC Division: OITC.1 ___________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION This paper is the summary of the Full Resettlement Plan (FRP) designed in accordance with Senegalese national procedures as well as those of the Bank. It aims to ensure that project affected persons (PAPs) are compensated and settled. Its objectives are three-fold: (i) minimise involuntary resettlement as much as possible; (ii) avoid to the extent possible the destruction of assets; and (iii) compensate affected persons to offset the loss of residential and agricultural lands, buildings and equipment as well as loss of revenue. The Dakar-Diamniadio-AIBD (Blaise Diagne International Airport) Regional Express Train (TER) Project is composed of two phases. The first extends from Dakar to Diamniadio and the second from Diamniadio to Diass where the new Dakar internationnal airport is situated. This FRP concerns works that will be implemented during the project’s first phase and specifically works to be undertaken in the Districts of Dakar, Pikine and Rufisque. The FRP objectives are to: (i) inform on the authorities’ strong commitment to maximize the TER project’s positive spinoffs and implement social measures to compensate persons to be displaced and resettled; (ii) elicit wide social mobilization around the project (communities crossed, opinion leaders, grassroots organizations etc…); (iii) ensure transparency and a participatory approach to the rights-of-way clearance process; and (iv) clear the right of way within the required period to the total satisfaction of all stakeholders. 1. PROJECT SUMMARY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION 1.1 Project Description Dakar’s current collective transport system comprises buses, mini-buses (cars rapides), taxis and the commuter train (Petit Train de Banlieue - PTB). As this system will not help to satisfactorily meet the transport needs of an estimated 124,000 commuters during the Dakar morning rush hours, the project selected by Government is to replace PTB with the future Regional Express Train (TER) to serve the greater Dakar suburban area possibly via an indirect omni-bus service. This project will be articulated with the Rapid-Transit Bus (BRT) project and other existing collective transport modes and/or projects. The goal is to help to rearrange and re-balance the urban space in the capital city Dakar with a view to achieving the GDP growth level defined in the Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE). The project will consist in modifying the current railway installations to be able, ultimately, to lay out four tracks: (i) a standard-gauge electrified double track (UIC) for passenger traffic, with datum speed of 160km/h, to replace the current PTB service; (ii) a metric track for goods transport; (iii) a reserve strip developed as maintenance/upkeep track to ultimately allow for constructing a 4th track. Furthermore, the project will: (i) renovate multi-modal train stations (at Dakar Plateau and Rufisque) and build a multi-modal station at Diamniadio; (ii) construct the Thiaroye and Bargny stations; (iii) construct eight stops at Colobane, Hann, Baux Maraîchers, Pikine, Yeumbeul, Keur-Massar, M’Bao and PNR; (iv) develop two maintenance sites – one at Colobane for trains and the other at Rufisque for infrastructure; and (v) procure bi-modal rolling stock (electric and diesel).

It covers an area of 802 km2, representing 0.41% of the total land area of Senegal. The project, in this Phase 1, is developed 3 Regional Express Train (TER) Dakar Summary of Full Resettlement Plan on the PTB’s existing right of way up to Diamniadio, making a linear distance of 38 km out of a total of 57 km between Dakar and the Blaise Diagne International Airport (AIBD). 1.3 Socio-Economic Profile of the Project’s Direct Area of Influence The population density in the Dakar-Bargny portion of the alignment (about 33 km) is about 30,000 inhabitants/km². This applies to Diamaguene Sicap Mbao and Yeumbeul South Communes and others skirted or crossed by the railway’s right of way. In contrast, the second half of the rail section which concerns predominantly rural communes (Diamniadio, Diass and Keur Moussa) is sparsely populated, with densities of not up to 300 inhab/km². Although this section has less than 4 villages, the population need extensive land due to the stockbreeding and agricultural production methods used. Also, regardless of the project zone, people suffer from a need for mobility within and outside their community space attributable to the quality of roads (challenging feeder roads in rural areas and no access roads in some urban neighbourhoods…). The intervention zone is characterized by: (i) the presence of several unregulated illicit passage points created by the population for their movement; (ii) the presence of vehicles, mechanical workshops and makeshift houses; (iii) fish-smoking activities and houses in the Hann zone (Hann triangle); and (iv) an area of allocated lands in Bargny (between Pk 35 and Pk 39) and Diamniadio (Pk 40). Economic activities carried out on the entire project right of way are: (i) trading on the right of way - uplanned markets at railway stations (Thiaroye, Hann and Colobane) and on railway tracks (Guinaw Rails, Keur Mbaye Fall, Kamb, Dalifort, etc.); (ii) handicraft activities like carpentry and car-repair workshops; (iii) waste recycling (at Colobane Wakhinane and Hann Triangle), fish processing and smoking activities (in Hann); (iv) agricultural activities in the second railway section (Diamniadio-AIBD) subject of Phase 2, which will be affected by the loss of crops, orchards and farms especially at Toglou, Gandoul and some peripheral neighbourhoods of Diamniadio and Sebikhotane; and (v) also under Phase 2 of the project, pastoral activities affected by the loss of pastureland and the limited, even impossible access in some cases, to certain pastures due to the barrier effect of the fenced-off TER right of way. Population and Household Size In 2013, the three districts crossed by TER in its 1st phase had a total of 1,415,620 men and 1,391,910 women. Of these numbers, 41.3% of men and 40.9% of women lived in the 17 projet- area communes. The 18-to-35-year-old age-bracket formed the largest population segment overall in the project area followed by the 7-to-17-year-old age bracket (22.8%). Infants are also many since under-7-year olds make up 17.1% of the total population of the project area. For their part, adults aged between 36 and 59 years represent 19.8% while older persons account for only 5.2% of the total population therein.
