1. INTRODUCTION

1. The Maritime and Waterways Safety Project is jointly funded by the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through Loan 2978-PNG. The Loan Agreement was signed on the 29th of January 2013. The Executing Agency is the National Maritime Safety Authority (NMSA).

2. The Maritime Waterways Safety Project (MWSP) aims at improving safety and efficiency of international and national shipping in coastal areas and waterways in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by replacing, installing and maintaining navigational aids (navaids), improving maritime safety information infrastructure, improving maritime safety practice of communities, and providing efficient project management and capacity development.

3. The MWSP originally involved the maintenance of 99 existing navigational aids and installation of 33 new ones across the 14 provinces in PNG. However, as a result of customary land issues at a number of sites the total number of navaids from the last reporting period remained unchanged (104) that is: 36 replacements and 68 new leased sites. The project is expected to have limited and or minor land acquisition of mostly of seabed, reefs, or foreshore. Also, it is unlikely to have displacement of people or resettlement impacts, as most sub-projects are existing infrastructures and rehabilitation works will be undertaken in the sea and within existing location.

4. According to ADB reporting requirement as stipulated in its Safeguards Policy Statements 2009 (SPS 2009), the MWSP Project Management Unit through its community development team should report on a semi-annual basis on safeguard matters, although there is no displacement of people or assets for this project. This social safeguard monitoring report covers project activities from January to June 2020. There were few field visits to the navaid sites and the affected communities for packages 1 & 2 during this period. These trips were undertaken by the Asian Development Bank PNRM team for a Project Review Mission to , East and West Provinces and , accompanied by the Project PIU team for inspection and reporting purposes on installed sites (Package 2) and to witness new AIS installation works.

5. The following paragraphs describe in brief the project background, social safeguard requirements, resettlement processes, land acquisition processes and the community engagement program, which involves two field visits to each community per navaid site as a minimum and one courtesy visit to the respective provincial government administrations, where the navaids will be installed.

6. Then a short overview is given on implementation of project activities during the reporting period. A table is attached in Appendix A, which summarises the main outcomes and outputs per community, lists all signed agreements in regards to land acquisition and other social safeguard requirements, any land disputes in the communities, planned mediation processes and further steps on how to overcome these problems.

7. A monitoring of the consultation process has started whereas resettlement and social assessments in communities have been initiated as a prerequisite for installation of planned navaids. Any socio-economic impact of people’s life in regard to project activities can be monitored after the first installation of the navaid and first installment of land lease payments to customary landowners and Community Lighthouse Committees (CLC).

8. Detailed activity reports with meeting minutes, signed agreements, due diligence reports for resettlement and photos of sites and communities are not attached to this report but were submitted in quarterly progress reports to ADB.

1. PROJECT OVERVIEW

9. The Project has four main outputs:

I. Originally the project requires the installation of 33 new navaids, replacement of 99 existing navaids, and maintenance of installed and replaced navaids as located in the various Maritime Provinces. The number of new navaids to be installed and navaids to be replaced has remained unchanged of 76 and 28 respectively per June 2019 report.

II. Improvement of safety information, infrastructure, comprising hydrographic surveys, installation of five (5) new AIS transponders and the replacement of three (3) others, and installation of four (4) tide gauges.

III. Improvement of maritime safety practice of communities, comprising of community engagement programs for maritime safety awareness activities and small craft safety training activities.

IV. Provision of efficient project management and capacity development, comprising of establishment of a Project Implementing Unit (PIU), support to manage and implement the project, and engagement and training of staff in operating the safety and hydrographic information infrastructure of NMSA.

10. The impact will be safer and enhanced access to socioeconomic opportunities for communities in PNG and regional and international stakeholders. The project is expected to produce benefits for rural and remote populations as well as the national and international population.

11. The Project has been classified B under ADB SPS (2009) for environment and social category. Framework documents have been prepared to describe the safeguard requirements for the project. NMSA as executing agency has overall responsibility to comply with safeguard requirements.

12. The PIU of the project employed two Community and Land Coordinators (national, whole project duration) and a Gender, Community and Lands Specialist (international - intermittent) as part of the community development team.

2. METHODOLOGY

13. Social safeguards and resettlement in this project include inter alia a community engagement program (CEP) and land acquisition of customary land both on and at sea. Involuntary resettlement and displacement of people will not be required as most navaids will be installed in the seabed or on locations on land, which mark a cliff or a rock. In most cases, no vegetation or asset is removed.

14. The resettlement process involves land acquisition of customary land on a lease basis for 20 years. Most sites are under water and will be leased from the local traditional landowners. The proposed size of land under water is 20m x 20m and on land 10m x 10m. The lease is signed between NMSA and respective landowners. The Land Investigation Report (LIR) is initiated by officers from Department of Lands and Physical Planning (DLPP) and provincial land officers. Land acquisition processes follow legal procedures of PNG government as disclosed in the Land Act 1996 (currently under review).

3. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM (CEP)

15. The CEP comprises of several phases of stakeholder consultations, which have to be followed before any installation of the navaid can proceed.

16. The first phase includes courtesy visits to the provincial administrations. The main aim of these visits is to introduce the project to the Provincial Administrator (PA), Governor and respective officers from Lands, Law and Justice, Planning and Local Level Government. The project team expects to get information from the lands officers about the communities located nearest to the planned site to identify the right landowners.

17. After receiving information from the land’s officers and provincial administrations, the team conducts first visits to communities. The main purpose of these visits is to conduct awareness about the installation of the navaid/beacon and the project. The first consultation with communities is done by the community, environment, and engineering project teams. Officers from provincial and national lands divisions/department, a surveyor and a valuer also join the team.

18. Whilst the community team conducts the awareness about the project, the engineering team assesses the sites with local permission and attendance. It is crucial that people in villages accept the installation of the navaid and that elder, councilors and landowners give their permission to the project team to inspect the sites. By accepting and understanding the purpose of the project, community representatives sign a Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) form, which is a precondition of continuing project activities. The form is pre - signed by NMSA CEO; one original is within the community and the other original remains in the project office.

19. A checklist retrieved from the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) is filled during each community visit and a due diligence report prepared for each site.

20. During community meetings, the MWSP CD team also discloses grievance redress mechanisms and explains further steps of the community program. All awareness material about the project is prepared by the CD team and distributed in community meetings, which are recorded and filed in the office. Main emphasis is laid on gender balance, when it comes to decision making for the navaid installation, land issues and representation in public discussions.

21. The second phase of community consultations is focused around land acquisition and community representation by forming a Community Lighthouse Committee (CLC). The Community Lighthouse Committee is established to monitor the lighthouse and to ensure that no vandalism acts occur to the lighthouse. The investigation of the legitimate Landowners is also being implemented during second phase of community consultation. The Land Acquisition process follows after LOs identification in sequence.

22. The CLC is responsible for the security of the lighthouse and to report any outage or damage of lights. It is bounded by the Community Security and Lighthouse Monitoring Agreement (CSLMA). The term of this agreement is for twenty (20) years.

23. Fees are paid once the lighthouses are installed and are tested to be functioning. Whilst the LIR is conducted by officers from DLPP and provincial/district lands offices with assistance from the CD project team, the whole process around forming of CLC is solely the responsibility of the CD project team. Village Councillors and Ward Recorders assist the team in retrieving information through community profiles and collecting socio - economic baseline data through survey questionnaires.

24. Awareness about safe practice at sea for small craft operators and community members are part of the awareness programme during the second visits. These trips last approximately two to three days per community. Distribution of HIV/AIDS material and a short introduction on transmission, background and social impact is done by Community and Lands Coordinators, who have been trained and certified during the inception phase of the Project.

4. GENDER

The project has a Gender Action Plan, which was modified in a workshop with relevant stakeholders in 2015. It lays strong emphasis on developing equal gender participation in decision making processes and consultations on the community, administrative and management level whenever possible. Cultural constraints and differences especially in decision making processes about landownership in matrilineal and patrilineal societies were discussed and appropriate amendments done. The GAP identifies and addresses gender issues in project activities and formulates indicators for outputs and impacts. Regular monitoring is provided and updates on the GAP are submitted in the Quarterly Reports. The CD team implements gender awareness in community consultations and visits to the provincial administrations. Women are encouraged to express their opinions about the proposed navaid installations and are active members of the community lighthouse committee (CLC) and signatories to the committee account. The CLC agreement, which is signed by NMSA and the CLC executive members includes a clause that 20% of funds spent for communal activities must benefit women and girls. At the end of each year, the CLCs have to prepare reports, which then will be monitored by NMSA. So far, the installation of navaids has been completed for package 2 (9 sites) and package 1 (45 sites). Construction for package 3 is still pending since the contract was awarded and signed by Nawae Construction Ltd in February 2020. First payments were executed successfully for both components – lease payments for landowners and CLC payments for package 2. Monitoring of the CLC reports had started for reporting purposes with incomplete status as CLC for package two are yet to provide their reports per payment execution dates. Monitoring of the CLC reports for package 1 will start after the completion of payments for both packages – lease & CLC.

25. According to the GAP, a gender policy should be established for NMSA. Consultations took place with external stakeholders and selected NMSA staff before meetings were held within NMSA to solicit views and opinions on a gender policy for NMSA. After the consultation meetings, a workshop was conducted to initiate the first stages of preparing the policy. It was during this time that the name of this policy was agreed upon, namely, National Maritime Safety Authority Gender Equity and Social Inclusive (NMSA GESI) Policy.

5. ACTIVITIES UPDATES FROM JANUARY TO JUNE 2020

26. The project has three proposed navaid packages distributed over 12 Maritime Provinces in Papua New Guinea. After the list was updated 104 installations are planned in total. Package 1 includes 48 navaids, 44 in Milne Bay Province and 4 in Central Province. Package 2 is geographically scattered over the New Guinea which includes Autonomous Region of Bougainville (ARB), (NIP) and Manus (MP); East New Britain (ENB) and West New Britain (WNB) Provinces. A total of 20 navaids are listed in package 2. Package 3 comprises of main coastline of Papua New Guinea that includes six provinces. The six provinces are as follows; Morobe, , East Sepik, West Sepik, Manus, Oro and Milne Bay; the total number of navaids sites in package 3 is 36.

27. Movement of the Contractor to PNG from Townsville Australia commenced early January 2020 which saw the Contract implemented over 5 months’ schedule. Refer to appendices.

28. Contract Package 1 installations commenced on the 16th of January 2020 including the successful completion of 45 navaids installation in the Milne Bay and Central Provinces. Only three (3) sites were not installed. These are one on-land installations in Budibudi and 2 at Deboyne Lagoon & China Strait - hard reef installation.

29. On March 2020, ADB PNRM team had planned and scheduled a week-long trip to certain provinces of which the sub-projects were installed for assessment purposes. The scheduled trips captured different departments to accompany their team on this Project Review Mission. The team comprised of representatives from Maritime Waterways Safety Project, Department of National Planning & Monitoring, and the Department of Treasury. 30. As planned and scheduled, on 15th March 2020, the ADB PNRM team together with MWSP team and other government departments took a trip to Milne Bay Province to carry out the Project Review Mission for installed sites. 31. The trips were put on hold for other navaids provinces due to COVID – 19 case after the Milne Bay Province visit. On June 14, 2020, the ADB PNRM team again took a trip to East New Britain, West New Britain, Morobe & Manus Provinces for inspection / reporting purposes on installed sites (Package2) and to witness AIS installation works. The outcome of the trip is minuted and attached as appendix B. 32. As agreed, and understood that all payments for landownerships and community engagement program components are to be paid after installation for sub-projects based on the condition of the lights if they are working.

33. The Contract package 2 lease execution for all sites were executed successfully. The updated status was captured in the last reporting period from July to December 2019.

34. Due to COVID – 19 pandemic and delay in release of funds from GoPNG, the lease execution for Contract Package 1 was delayed. Now that the funds are available our Project team are doing scheduling and planning to revisit all sites under package 1 to complete execution of lease agreement signing and payments for CLC and Customary Lease packages. Tabulated in table 2 is the proposed tentative dates/schedule for trips to package 1 Milne Bay communities to execute payments. Tentative schedule is attached as Appendix C.

35. Paragraph 30 of the SMR June – December 2019 gave brief updates on Package 2 installations outcome and resolutions to all its abandoned sites. First payment completed for both the Lease and the CLCs. The abandoned sites per the last report, Project Manager will decide for all abandoned sites either to be revisited again by AMSG/PMG JV after completion of contract package 1 or be deleted from the contract. However, due to time factor, all abandoned sites in contract packages 1 and 2 remained abandoned with no further advice from the PM which can be considered as new sites.

36. The list of confirmed sites has been changed due to various reasons. The issues in communities, which could not be solved by mediation or during consultations therefore led to cancellation of these sites (see in detail Appendix A). Most navaids are new as they require new structures to be installed thus the increase from 33 to 76 new navaids, while the number of navaids to be replaced has reduced to 28 navaids as these are existing structures.

9

37. Land and resettlement activities in the reporting period focused on Lease Agreement Signing with respective Landowners of navaid sites in package one (1) first payments, package two (2) second payments and the Sate. All Lease were signed successfully by Landowners and the State for package 2, civil works completed. As for contract package 1, civil works completed with pending Lease executions and signing. The PIU team are in preparation to revisit all sites in under Contract Package 1 to complete lease signing and execute payments for both packages per sites respectively.

6. OUTPUTS FOR ACTIVITIES JANUARY TO JUNE 2020 I) Navaids

38. No change of the number of navaids in the reporting period. The CD team met with ADB on 03rd June 2019 at the ADB PNRM office to discuss the status update of On-Going Contracts for Navaids 1, 2 & 3. Table 2 summarise the status and progress of the 3 packages.

39. PIU Community and Lands Coordinators did a weekly follow-up at DLPP for COAs and valuation reports.

II) Land Acquisition Process

40. Since the last reporting period, the total number of Valuation Report remained unchanged. Still outstanding are 5 valuation reports – Budibudi (1) and Central (4). As for the Survey Plans, the total number of survey plans received from DLPP changed from 60 to 64. Outstanding survey – 1 for Budibudi Island.

41. As for the Certificate of Alienability (COA) and per last reporting period, the total number of COAs submitted by DLPP to MWSP remained unchanged. A total of 57 COAs received so far; package 1 with 22 COAs for Milne Bay Province, (15) COAs for package two and 20 COAs for package 3. The outstanding COA’s are of the 8 sites in Milne Bay Province Package 1.

From the last reporting period, the total number of registered survey plans have increased to 64 while Valuation Reports increased to 60 which the copies are in the MWSP office. However, for the Certificates of Alienability and the Lease Instruments remained unchanged. Copies of 57 COAs and 57 Lease Instruments are also in the MWSP office. The table in Appendix A gives details of the status of land acquisition process. 11

7. GRIEVANCE REDRESS

43. The PIU team together with the ADB PNRM team had undertook several trips from January to June 2020 to several provinces during this reporting period for inspection/ reporting purposes on installed sites (Package2) and to witness AIS installation works. PIU team are preparing to take a trip to Milne Bay province to revisit all sites and execute payments for both the lease and CLCs components and to complete signing of the lease agreement and the deed of release for the Contract Package 1.

44. As for the Contract Package 2, second payments are yet to be execute upon receiving of the acquittals for CLCs components through each account and for the lease component, the payment will be made through each account which the LO’s themselves were advised to open and provide bank details to NMSA. So far, no payments done for contract package 2, second payment; delay from local communities in providing acquittals. PIU staff has continue following up with community representatives to provide acquittals and LOs bank details for second payments execution.

8. CONCLUSION

45. Social safeguard monitoring and reporting follows the same described pattern of activities. The most unpredictable component in the community engagement programme is the land acquisition as landownership is a main cultural identity; families and clans in communities have different opinion and interests, which should be treated sensitively.

46. Part of the land acquisition process which the project is directly involves with have been completed which includes the initial visits for the LIR and site assessments for the surveyors and valuers. All LIRs have completed by the respective PLOs/ CLOs. Now the rest of the process is within DLPP and other line government agencies before the lease instruments can be issued.

9. RECOPMMENDED ACTIVITIES

47. The PMU CALCs will continuously follow-up with respective officers within DLPP with the LIRs and valuation reports. The CALCs will ensure that all documents required by the officers are delivered to them.

48. For the abundant sites in package 2, the PMU CALCs will make continuous connection with the locals advising on Contractor’s plan. If the sites were to be moved for contractor’s accessibility for installation, the CLACs will advise the affected communities on the next step to be taken if necessary.

Disputing Parties/Clans: 1. Kadara Clan – Demas Giri 2. Tomalangi Clan – Serry Inoro 3. Tavana Nanuk Caln – Demas Mago 4. Elly Vue and Family – Land Owner

Land Mediator – disputes that go through the mediation process are very lengthy, costly and take time to go through the process. If there is no agreement and consensus reached the dispute goes to court, which take a long time to be heard and settled. Part of the mediation, is for each parties to walk their boundaries and writ their statement with regard to the land in dispute.

NMSA Officer – stated the purpose of the Light house, the benefits to the Community and why it was erected in the first instance. There were no registered disputes with the Lands Division and the Regional office with regard to the 20*20m area that the light house is built on. The court case with regard to all the land in the area was from 2009, but there was no dispute or matters arising from the light house area.

Kadara Clan – agree to settle the matter and come up with their terms of agreement and conditions with the other existing party/clan. Announced that they share a common boundary with Tomalangi clan.

Tomalangi Clan – agreed with Kadara clan to come up with terms of agreement and conditions to settle the dispute.

Tavana Nanuk – wants all the disputing parties to come with their Family trees and History to justify their claims to the area, which the Land Mediator state that it is part of the Mediation process but it will take a long time for each clan to present.

Lands Officer – highlight importance of such improvements in the community where it serves the whole community, the province and the country as a whole through Navigational Aids. Though there are disputes, light house facilities should not be destroyed, disputes have to go through proper procedures in to be solved in manner where all parties agree and there is peace and harmony in the community.

Elly Vue – came to the meeting when we were about to close the meeting, and was rude to just come and accuse the officers of why payment was done on the disputed land that she claims ownership.

NMSA explained that there was no dispute registered so the first payment was done, all the other payments after will be put on hold till such time when the dispute is resolved and terms of agreement and conditions are done in writing witnessed by the land mediator and sent to NMSA.

All in all, all the disputing parties agreed to solved their grievances amongst themselves and all agreed to walk their boundaries along with the land Mediator, MNSA officer, Lands officer on Wednesday 20th of November 2019,

Resolution

✓ All disputing parties to come with their terms of Agreement and Conditions. ✓ Wednesday 20th November all disputing parties to walk their boundaries, so it will determine which clan is the rightful claimant to the Light house. ✓ If matters need to be mediated, it will be determined after each clan have walked their boundaries with the NMSA, Lands officer and Land mediator. ✓ Report on 1st payment of money paid for the Community Lighthouse Projects will be presented on Wednesday 20th of November, 2019, that money cannot be taken back by NMSA and it is for the community.
