1. Introduction

United Nations 61 st General Assembly in September 2007 adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) which refers to “ Obtaining Indigenous communities, free, prior, and informed consent prior to the approval of any project affecting them”. This non-binding declaration was supported by many countries in Asia and Pacific.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) recognizes the rights of Indigenous Peoples to direct the course of their own development. Indigenous Peoples communities are increasingly threatened as development program infringe into areas that they traditionally own, occupy, use or view as ancestral domain. Special efforts are needed to ascertain the consent of affected Indigenous Peoples communities in the planning of development programs that affect them, in, particular, development programs that are supposedly designed to meet their specific needs and aspiration. For the purpose of policy application, it is proposed that the consent of affected Indigenous people’s communities refers to a collective expression by the affected Indigenous people’s communities through individuals and /or their recognized representatives, of broad community support for the project activities. Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) is implementing 265 new subprojects being aware of safeguard issues of Indigenous Peoples in Bangladesh.

2. Background

The Participatory Small-scale Water Resources Sector Project (PSSWRP) is the outcome of lessons learned from previous ADB, Dutch and IFAD investments in First & Second Small Scale Water Resources Development Projects from 1996 to 2010 which has developed 580 subprojects in 61 districts of Bangladesh. The Project aims to develop sustainable, stakeholder-driven small-scale water resources management systems. It has three outputs: (i) institutional strengthening of government agencies at all levels to support small scale water resources (SSWR) development, (ii) participatory subproject development, which will include poor and vulnerable groups and will enable WMCA to plan, implement, operate and maintain subprojects; and (iii) construction and maintenance of 265 new subprojects and performance enhancement of 147 subprojects (out of 580 completed from SSW-1 & SSW-2 subprojects).

During identification, preparation of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), Feasibility Study (FS) and Detail Design (DD), the subproject beneficiaries were consulted about the presence of Indigenous Peoples within the command area. Moreover, while preparing Socio economic survey report and Environmental Mitigation Plan the aspect of Indigenous Peoples were investigated to find out their existence in subproject areas. Though there are habitations of Indigenous People in the many districts of Bangladesh but in the subprojects under study within PSSWRSP the existence of Indigenous Peoples which are directly affected is not found. There are subprojects where the benefits of infrastructure development and institutional activities are influenced to the area where there are habitations of Indigenous Peoples. Semiannual IP safeguards monitoring report 1 PSSWRSP Ju ly – August 2019

The Project is jointly funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The total project cost is USD119.797 million: The loan (L2542-BAN) was approved by ADB on 4 September 2009 for USD55.0 million. IFAD provides two loans amounting to USD32.0 million, and domestic contributions amount to USD 32.8 million. The first IFAD loan (loan no.786) was approved by IFAD’s Executive Board on 15 September 2009 and became effective on 6 November 2009. The second loan (loan no.808) was approved on 22 April 2010 and became effective on 18 October 2010. Project completion and closing dates are 30 June 2018 and 31 December 2018 respectively.

3. ADB’s Policy for Safeguards on Indigenous Peoples

An agreement with the ADB on Principle of action adopted about Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) in 2009 for the subprojects during implementation/operation. if it has been transpired that the affected Indigenous People’s have been identified within the Subproject catchment areas, the project should prepare an indigenous peoples development framework (IPDF)in accordance with a manner corresponding to ADB,s Policy on Indigenous Peoples (April 1998) and will be presented as supplementary Appendix.

The Indigenous peoples development framework (IPDF) will guide selection, screening, categorization, assessment and preparation by IWRMP of additional subprojects under the Project where impacts on IPs are identified to ensure better distribution of the Project benefits and to promote development of any IPs found within the Project area and to facilitate compliance with the requirements as specified in ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) and Safeguard Requirements on Indigenous People.

4. Indigenous Peoples of Bangladesh:

In a free and modern state, discrimination against the IP’s is never acceptable, so concern authority must try to remove any kind of discrimination for an inclusive society. Indigenous Peoples in independent countries whose social/cultural and economic conditions distinguish them from other sections of the national community by their own customs or traditions or by specific laws or regulations.

The Indigenous Peoples of Bangladesh refer to native ethnic minorities in southeastern, northwestern, north-central and north-eastern regions of the country were more than 2, 42,000 ethnic households in 2004 and spread all over the country at about 11,000 villages/places and constituted total population to be over 12,05,978 in 2010 about 1.03% percent of total population of the country. However, ethnic group has been identified as IP group by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) and also identified 35 IP groups in 1991 census (latest available relevant data).They are belonging from different ethnic communities and commonly identified as representatives of different tribes and the Bangladesh Population Census identified them as Tribal people. Distribution of different ethnic (IP) population within the Division is shown in Table 1

5. Indigenous Peoples in Project area:

During Feasibility and Socioeconomic study ascertained that the interventions in the subproject will not directly cause any adverse impact on the IPs. Most of the SPs catchment area is isolated and maroon type of landscape like water bodies, Khal, Beel and cultivable lands with object to conservation of irrigation water and improvement of drainage systems to grow more production of crops. Some affect found in the catchment area inhabitants/squatters within the SPs which are relevant to LA, RP and Involuntary RP therefore, some people loss their cultivated land only in Nakai beel subproject and no indigenous people economical and physical displacement would occur due to implementation of the SP.

However, there is no adjacent affected IP’s in the SPs so far is being identified, who has lost their homestead, crops, trees in the titled or non-titled area as a result of SP construction activities. There are no Indigenous peoples resident or employed in the locality and there is no negative social impact and adverse effect due to implementation of subproject works.

Project implemented within the six Divisions (Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Rangpur) under two hundred sixty-five (265) subprojects at forty three (43) districts. There is no Indigenous People have been identified and live at the project sites, however, on account of record, an IP’s Frame Work (IPF) has been prepared and presented as supplementary Appendix. The IPF presents guidelines for addressing issues relating to IP whenever they are found to be taken into consideration in near future as candidate of the subprojects. Semiannual IP safeguards monitoring report 3 PSSWRSP July - August 2019 These narrated story/briefs may be treated as justification “No Indigenous People/Small Ethnic Communities lives in the Subprojects areas.”

To describe about the current status of IPs in the Project location categorization forms of forty three (43) project districts have been filled in and attached in Annexure. Based on the assessment of Design, Location, feasibility and socioeconomic study reports on safeguards requirements of Indigenous Peoples, the Project may be treated as ‘B’ category.

6. Observation:

Nevertheless due to Subproject interventions, if any negative impact identified on IP family to the accumulated impacts would be effectively dealt with object to remove the hindrance in accordance with the ADB’s Safeguard Policy on Indigenous people’s guideline. However, during Project implementation period the PMO/PIC adopted close monitoring on IPs to find out any impacts; that would have been solved through Resettlement Plan implementation. In addition, the Grievances Redress Committee (GRC) has been formed for resolving any grievances involving about IPs. GRC have the power to resolve and settle the issues preemptive to their being addressed through the legal system and as per charter of duties and responsibilities of the GRC. The GRC has accepted two such cases in two subprojects and paid compensation benefit to all PAPs.

During field visit by the Loan Review Mission members, PMO/PIC officials and implementing authority able to find out ten districts in different categories. Indigenous Peoples beneficiaries have been identified in the districts of Gaibanda, Dinajpur, Siraganj, Joypurhat, Thakurganj, Chittagang, Cox’s Bazar, Netrokona, Mymenshing and Barguna where opportunities exist for larger and more strategic interventions. Scaling up interventions demonstrable results include effective participation in financial and other information about beneficiaries statistics indicates in the table: 3

6. Conclusion:

This report reflects obtaining Indigenous communities, free, prior and informed consent to the approval of any affected IPs and scenario of the IPs inhabitations in the subproject catchment areas which have been identified all over the 265 SPs of 43 districts within the six (06) divisions. To find out the IPs in the SPs, different methods and process were applied through Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Socio-economic Survey (SES) and face to face interview etc. Primary data was collected by interviewing various stakeholders from the villages/communities inside the SP area; in process of performing feasibility study of the SP including hydrological, engineering, agricultural, fishery, and environmental, social analyses etc. There are few Indigenous People (i.e. Rakhain/ Santals) resident or employed in the adjacent locality of SPs are being identified as beneficiaries of social impacts on IPs such as members of the WMCA, received project oriented training, loan recipients, LCS members and construction labour as described in table: 3.

Project Team Comments: BRM Comments:

The Project will implement about 265 subprojects in 43 districts of the country, excluding three districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts from 2010- 2018 to reduce the poverty level of the country by increasing agricultural and fishery production.

12 Subprojects were designed in 5 districts of Division as per the list attached (ATTACHMENT-1) :

Although in some of the project districts (i.e. Gazipur, Manikganj etc.) there are scattered habitats of Indigenous Peoples (IP)/Small Ethnic Communities (SEC), but “No IP/SEC” lives in the subproject areas, according to the feasibility studies and socio-economic surveys conducted within the catchment areas of each of the subprojects. As the subprojects are small scale water resources structures related to agriculture and fisheries development, they will not have indirect nega tive impact on the neighboring SECs, if there is any. The subproject will also not directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of the neighboring IP/SECs or affects the territories or natural or cultural resourc es that IPs own, use, occupy, or claim as their ancestral domain. So, all the subprojects of the above list under Dhaka division are categorized as “B” for IP safeguards.

64 Subprojects were designed in 8 districts of Chittagong Division as per the list attached (ATTACHMENT -2) : Although some of the project districts (i.e. Chittagong, Cox’s Bazar etc.) are scattered habitats of Indigenous Peoples (IP) / Small Ethnic Communities (SEC), but “No IP/SEC” lives in the subproject areas, according to the feasibility studies and socio -economic surveys conducted within the catchment areas of each of the subprojects. As the subprojects are small scale water resources structures related to agriculture and fisheries development, they will not have indirect negative impact on the neighboring SECs, if there is any. The subproject will also not directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of the neighboring IP/SECs or affects the territories or natural or cultural resources that IPs own, use, occupy, or claim as their ancestral domain. So, all the subprojects of the 8 districts listed under Chittagong division are categorized as “ B” for IP safeguards.

Project Team Comments: BRM Comments:

The Project will implement about 265 subprojects in 43districts of the country, excluding three districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts from 2010- 2018 to reduce the poverty level of the country by increasing agricultural and fishery production. 95 Subprojects were designed in 6 districts as per the list attached ATTACHMENT-5) :

Although some of the project districts (i.e. Barisal, Patuakhali etc.) are scattered habitats of Indigenous Peoples (IP)/Small Ethnic Communities (SEC), “No IP/SEC” lives in the subproject areas, according to the feasibility studies and socio-economic surveys conducted within the catchment areas of each of the subprojects. As the subprojects are small scale water resources structures related to agriculture and fisheries development, they will not have indirect negative impact on the neighboring SECs, if there is any. The subproject will also not directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of the neighboring IP/SECs or affects the territories or natural or cultural resources that IPs own, use, occupy, or claim as their ancestral domain. So, all the subprojects of the above list under Barisal division are categorized as “B” for IP safeguards.
