Key Safeguard Policy Issues and Their Management A. Summary of Key Safeguard Issues 1. Describe any safeguard issues and impacts associated with the proposed project. Identify and describe any potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts: The proposed LRIP-AF2 is not expected to have significant negative impact on environment. All planned physical works are limited to the rehabilitation of existing roads within the current RoW. No permanent acquisition of private land or other impact that will trigger OP 4.12 is anticipated. The rehabilitation of project roads will not induce immediate or mid-term land development of a significant scale. Therefore, negative social and environmental impacts due to LRIP-AF2 will be of minor scope and duration, and typical for small scale road rehabilitation activities, while the long-term social impact will be positive. The Environmental Management Framework (EMF), first developed under the original LRIP and then updated for LRIP-AF1, has been updated further to add roads under LRIP- AF2 and disclosed in country and through the Bank’s InfoShop. The EMF provides general guidelines for applying environmentally sound practices to local roads rehabilitation. A stakeholder consultation meeting on the original EMF was held on January 22, 2009, and no additional consultations on the updated EMF would be required. The Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) of the activities performed under LRIP and LRIP AF-1 have been prepared in a satisfactory manner. Site-specific EMPs for LRIP AF-2 sites will be developed prior to the beginning of works and disclosed to, and consulted with, local stakeholders prior to commencement of civil works. The EMPs will be included as part of the bidding documents to ensure that contractors are aware of their responsibilities. 2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area: No indirect or long-term negative impacts are anticipated due to future activities in the project area. Private land may be temporarily occupied to store construction materials, strictly on a voluntary basis - so no involuntary land acquisition is involved. Contractors are responsible to negotiate with land owners on terms of land use, and will be required to reinstate the land used after the civil works, as per measures spelled out in the EMPs. 3. Describe any project alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts. The project would rehabilitate the existing LRN which provides the only access to rural population to inter-state roads. Therefore, no alternative routes were considered. The project roads were selected based on the screening criteria including the absence of land acquisition and minimum environmental impact. 4. Describe measures taken by the borrower to address safeguard policy issues. Provide an assessment of borrower capacity to plan and implement the measures described. The Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC), as the owner of the LRN, has the overall responsibility for implementing the project. The MOTC delegates day-to-day project implementation to the existing Transport Project Implementation Unit (PIU) under the MOTC. The PIU is governed by a Project Management Board chaired by the MOTC, which comprise stakeholder ministries and Government agencies. The existing PIU and the Armenia Road Directorate (ARD) implemented the earlier World Bank-financed Transport projects. PIU and ARD have been successfully implementing the LRIP and LRIP-AF1 for the most part. Past supervision of these operations had noted environmental issues related to construction waste disposal and provided recommendations for their improvement. Positive changes are visible on the ground, though waste management will require continued close attention throughout the project implementation. PIU and ARD are demonstrating good supervision practice using services of the qualified firm for the technical oversight. This firm has a good command of the EMF and site-specific EMPs, and is using the prescribed monitoring checklists for reporting the environmental compliance of works. PIU and ARD have their own presence at project sites as well. The PIU is adequately staffed and has the capacity to address all aspects of the project implementation, including safeguard compliance. Civil works under SLRP AF-2 will be supervised by a consulting firm commissioned by the PIU. Along with other responsibilities, this firm will be assigned to track compliance of civil works contractors with the EMPs and will monitor implementation of the prescribed mitigation measures. The PIU will provide the general oversight of safeguard compliance through the regular monitoring of the quality of works and by directly addressing outstanding safeguard issues identified by the supervisor. 5. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanisms for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. The original EMF was consulted with stakeholders on January 22, 2009 and the updated EMF will be disclosed in country and through the Bank’s Infoshop and in the MOTC website. Site-specific EMPs will be prepared prior to the beginning of works and disclosed to, and consulted with, local stakeholders prior to commencement of civil works. B.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.

The process of public discussion and consultation of the Hrazdan Basin Management Plan took place from 20 June to 20 August 2020. The Water Basin Management Plan is a guidance document developed as a result of collaboration between different stakeholders, offering common solutions to meet the needs of all water users, taking into account also the needs of the environment. Public participation plays a key role in the management plan development process. Questionnaires were used as a key tool in the public discussion and consulting process, through which expert opinions and information were collected to make additions to the water basin management plan. The questionnaires were disseminated through Gegharkunik Marzpetaran, the official website of the Ministry of Environment of the RA, the official website of EUWI+, the social networks of the CWP, as well as various CSO networks. The questionnaire was filled in by local self-government bodies (LSGB) representing 52 communities (57 questionnaires) and by non-governmental stakeholders in the basin – 134 questionnaires .A total of 191 questionnaires were completed.
