Mott MacDonald is committed to integrating sustainability into our operational practices and culture. As a world leading consultancy business we are always seeking to improve our own performance and reduce the environmental impact of our business. Meanwhile, many of our staff are committed to living sustainably in their personal lives – as an employee-owned company Mott MacDonald shares their concerns. We feel an ethical obligation to reduce our emissions and resource use and have committed to reducing our per capita carbon footprint by a minimum of 5% year on year.

We print our reports and client submissions using recycled, double-sided paper. Compared to printing single sided on A4 virgin paper, double sided printing on recycled paper saves the equivalent of two trees, over a ton of CO2 and a cubic metre of landfill space for every 100 reams. By choosing the greener path we have been able to achieve efficiencies benefiting both Mott MacDonald and our customers.

We would like to share some of the principles of our own ‘Going Green’ initiative:

• When possible we scan rather than print and consider what really needs to be on paper • We use electronic faxing when practicable • We work on e-forms • We use recycled paper when possible • Reducing paper in the office creates a better working environment for our staff and our clients

We believe that you, as one of our esteemed clients, will share our concern to conserve precious resources for the benefit of our planet and its inhabitants.

1.4 Information Disclosure, Consultation, and Participation

Stakeholders’ consultations: As a part of the study, detail consultations had been carried out with key stakeholders, including persons interested or affected by project activities in line ADB requirements. For gathering information, dissemination and feedback, information were gathered from the local residents, service user groups, and the people who were likely to be affected by intervention of sub-projects. The issues discussed with the PAPs and other stakeholders were on the extent of involuntary resettlement, objectives and scope of the project, compensation, income restoration, employment generation and others that concern them.

The methods used for consultations were, open meetings, interviews and focus group discussions. The study participants were informed that the SRIIP will offer, compensation for land and other relevant cost , employment opportunities during construction phase , create scope for women and IPs in growth centres, manage common facilities During the period of project implementation, any disruption or damages caused by the contractor to compound walls, existing connections etc. would be repaired.

Information Disclosure

For ensuring maximum transparency in planning and further active involvement of displaced persons and other stakeholders, project information has been disseminated through distribution of the translated versions of the resettlement planning documents in Bangla as well as in English. The information was also made available at public places including the offices of LGED, PMO, and District level and Upazila/ ward level offices.

Grievance Redress Mechanism

Grievance Redress Committees (GRC) in all the subprojects excepting in Dinajpur, Bogra and Chuadanga, where the formation of GRC is under process. have already been formed at districts level offices to ensure easy accessible by the affected persons and other stakeholders. The GRC committees will work on resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances (if any) about the social and environmental performance at the implementation level of the project. Affected persons (APs) will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes that have already been installed by project or through telephone hotlines at accessible locations, by e-mail, by post, or by writing in a complaints register in district level offices. Careful documentation of the name of the complainant, date of receipt

Recommendations; Joint verification committee has been formed to provide guideline and RP implementation has closely been monitored to provide the PMO, SRIIP with an effective basis for assessing resettlement progress and identifying potential difficulties and problems. Monitoring has been undertaken by the D&SC and PMO. Administrative monitoring involves regular supervision to ensure that implementation is on schedule and problems are dealt with on a timely basis. For socio- economic monitoring during and after project implementation for ascertaining resettlement impacts by utilizing baseline information had been established through detailed measurement survey of APs undertaken during project preparatory stage. Semi-Annual monitoring and progress reports were prepared and submitted by D&SC at a regular interval to the concerned authority for reporting status of RP implementation. All safeguard monitoring reports are to be sent to ADB for review. ADB will post the report on website.

Conclusions:

Resettlement Plans for 5 subproject locations in two divisions namely; Rajshahi and Khulna, 3 subprojects in Rajshahi division and 1 subproject in Rangpur division were submitted respectively in the month of August 2015 and May 2016. The proposed sub-projects are mainly construction of bridges, and a new roads. To complete RPs, a number of activities had to complete in the different sub- project locations with impact of LAR. These are: general assessment to identify size of affected private land and plot numbers, census of the affected persons (APs); consultation with the affected people and community. Details of Public Consultations, impacts, information of affected people including their identity and relevant issues are shown in Annexure -1

In addition, market survey of the affected property and losses have also been conducted. To ensure appropriate compensation to the PAPs for their incurred losses of land and other assists, current market rate and land purchase rate of the DC office will be collected. Based on the initial assessment during Resettlement Survey an indicate detail budget for compensation of losses and other cost is presented with each of the RP.(Questionnaires are shown in Annex-3)

In most of the subprojects formation of a project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) was completed. Only in three specific projects viz; Dinajpur, Bogra and d Chuadanaga it is under process. While GRC receives, evaluates, and facilitates the resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project, the GRM aims to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project.

A monitoring mechanism to follow up the process of compensation payment to affected people has been presented in RPs. The project will ensure that the properties (structure and non-structure assets) to be displaced for the project will be compensated at their full replacement cost, determined by legally constituted bodies like the Property Valuation Advisory Committee (PVAC).

Land acquisition of 2.99acres , 1.6017 acres, 0.7725 acre have already been completed and the PAPs were duly compensated by the LGED in the year 2013 & 2014 and 2015 respectively at Contract no: LGED/SRIIP/NWB/W-182, LGED/SRIIP/JSR/WS-135/, and LGED/SRIIP/NAO/WS-173 located at Upazila: Bholarhat, District: Chapai Nawabgonj,. Upazila Bagharpara Districts, Jessore and Narail Sadar, District Narail. The lands were acquired during the period from 2013 to 2015 as found in record of PMO of SRIIP. Earlier whole resettlement process could not be monitored by the D&SC due to prevailed political situation of the country at that time. However the D&SC has now collected the names of affected people with quantity of land acquired and compensation payments to APs.. The list is appended in the Annexure. In this report the land acquisition issue of the Contract no: LGED/SRIIP/NWB/W-182 has been reviewed through public consultations with the APs by the Social Safeguard Consultant of the D&SC held and result of public consultations with affected people regarding their opinion and grievances due to Land Acquisitions are reflected in Annexure 2.

Preparation of 4- RPs for 4-subprojects in the districts of Bogra, Chuadanga Dinajpur and Gaibandha has already been completed and submitted to teh PMO. Consultations with affected people four three subprojects have been done by the Resettlement Specialist himself to ascertain people’s opinion and grievances due to land acquisition and are appended in Annexure 5, 10, 12 and 15

Introduction:

The 90 meter bridge under construction is going to connect two districts Jessore. Land required for approach roads on two sides has been taken by LGED. Because of complications land acquisition involving different administrative units, land acquisition process especially in part is being delayed. People are agreed to allow their land for the approach roads.

Euroconsult Mott MacDonald 25

Semi Annual Involuntary Resettlement Report for SRIIP for The Period of Junuary 2016 – June 2016

Affected people of this area did not receive any notice from DC office. However, some people reported that office staff from DC office came to measure the affected land. The approach roads are almost completed. But the affected people have not yet been informed when compensation money will be handed over to them.

As reported by the community, at least three families have already moved away from the place during the road construction. The local people are not having much support from the local government. The chairman and members of Sotokhali Union are completely indifferent to their needs. They are fast losing their hopes. But during discussion they shared all their problems with the resettlement study team who went there to discuss with them on compensation issues.

When the bridge construction started, a small section of unaffected local people opposed while encouraging affected people to file legal suit against LGED it had taken their land without serving any proper notice. But the affected people could not be persuaded to follow this course for their position was like this, “We do not want to stop the bridge constriction by court order. This bridge is important for all of us.”

Motivation work conducted by the Executive Engineer of Jessore, project staff and local leaders provided moral support for bridge construction.

Key issues Major Findings 1. Perception of the Some people already allowed their land for construction of approach road. local people about The community people are motivated as they understand that the bridge the new bridge would bring better opportunity for them. People also know that the bridge will increase opportunities like access to market, running businesses and access to children’s school etc. 2. The loss of the Some affected people having lost their land and properties are still keeping affected families hope that they would get compensation and buy new property or start new work. Some of the participants stressed that getting compensation money is crucial for the poor people to survive. Some poor families whose houses were demolished have left the place without hope of getting any compensation.

3. Updated status of The affected people did not receive any notice from DC office on Land DC office and Acquisition purpose. land acquisition DC office staff came and measured land , collected plot/ dug number and listed names of the affected people etc. 4. People’s Chairman of Narikelbaria Union (Jesssore part) also participated the perception about meeting. He said that he was working with UNO and XEN (Jessore) on new bridge providing support to speed up land acquisition matter in district.

Some people strongly felt that it was not a right step to take control of land before giving compensation. At least, 4 to 5 families have lost their land; a few of them have already moved to another place as their houses and other structures had been broken down. 5. Land price The land price of the area rose to a higher level the construction got started. However, the price varies with location of any land. The land close to the market is much higher priced than the homestead and agriculture land. Price of fallow land continues to remain 5 to 10 thousand taka per decimal while adjacent market this same land will be sold for much higher price once construction is completed.

6 Profile of the area The majority of local people are poor. Women are mostly engaged in household work. Children go to school. All people use boat to get across the river. They hope this bridge will bring in much improvement in their communication, business and other sectors.

Sub Project: Contract Package ID: LGED/SRIIP/JSR/WS-135 Bridge location Name of the bridge “NariKel Beria Bridge Upazila –Baghar, Jessore Location : Narikel Baria union , Jessore Date: 24.05.2015

Introduction: The 90 meter bridge will start from Narikel Baria and end on the other part of the river in Sotokhali union. However, a number of people already provided their land for the approach roads of the bridge. People of this area are better off. They own enough land and run various businesses. A Shaha family has lost 2.75 acres of land and other families account for the rest of the land taken for the roads.

The Project Director, Executive Engineer (Jessore) and office staff, the local MP and local government representatives and DC office staff came to discuss on the bridge issues and people’s participation. However, people from DC office came to asses land and property of affected families. These families have received notices of section- 3 and section-6 from DC office on 15th January and the 6th May 2015 respectively. The affected people claimed that many trees were cut down at the time of road construction. The Upazila engineering team informed them of recording all the trees thus cut down. The team also claimed that some video recordings were done of these trees while being cut. But the affected people are not yet confirmed whether they would be properly compensated for this loss of assets. While talking on the issue the XEN (Jessore ) told that such trees were not high in number and most of them were small in size.

Key issues Major Findings 1. Perception of the All affected people find the bridge is very useful. The bridge will make local people about communication of people very easy and their income earning activities will the new bridge. be greatly boosted.

A special case on managing private land by the community

Most of the road is being constructed in the existing ROW but at one location the existing road alignment goes through the middle of a school compound. The school committee did not agree to allow construction of any road that will bifurcate the school compound creating hazardous situation for the children. Local people also sided with the school committee and they proposed that the road would go through some private land at one side of the school. The private land belongs to two brothers named Saiful and Salam. Some trees are also in their land. But two brothers were not willing to give up their land without proper compensation. Though local leaders, school committee members and other public figures tried to motivate the brothers to allow the construction but failed.

The community feels the importance of the road as the area is highly dense in population. To make the road possible they decided to mobilize a fund through local people’s participation. Once this decision was made, members of the community gave whatever one affords to give. The school committee contributed a big amount from its own fund. At a program witnessed by the local people two brothers were given Tk.80, 000. Salam got TK. 60,000 and Saiful received 20,000 taka. A signed document was made on the payment. All important people of the locality such as chairman, members, school teachers and social leaders were present in the meeting. Two brothers freed the land for construction of road. The affected people made free their land for the construction.

On the other hand land acquisition process is going on. The owners are from poor income group and they are planning to buy land in other areas and also planning to do business with the money.

Land price is now 20,000 to 50,000 taka per decimal now. According to DC office the rate is TK 20,000 taka.

Discussion with affected people in Naogoan

Sub project : Contract Package ID: LGED/SRIIP/NAO/WS-173 Choto Jamuna. Date:7.6.2015

Construction of The 90 metre bridge is on going over the river of Choto Jamuna . A total of 0.48 acre private land needs to be acquired to construct an approach road. At least six people who claimed that their land will be affected participated in the discussion meeting. They are going to lose their farm land on the side of the river. For the last nine months the bridge has been under construction. We have heard the government would acquire land for construction of bridge approach road.

Key issues Major Findings 1. Perception of the The bridge is very essential for the local people and surrounding area. local people about The bridge will bring good communication system with other districts the new bridge including Rajshahi, Bogra and Dhaka . More motorised vetches will be available here and employment opportunities will be increased. 2. The loss of the A total of six families will lose their land and crops. River side lands are very affected families fertile in this area. Farmers here produce rice, potato, and different kinds of and price of land vegetables in their land. 3. Updated status of The affected people received section -3 notice from DC office. DC office DC office staff came and measured land which would be affected.

4. Land price In the year of 2014, DC office established the land rate accruing to Maouza wise. Per decimal rate in Badanpur is TK. 20,000 to TK20, 425 and Chargopal Mouza is TK 30,000. However, current market price is increasing due to impact of bridge construction which is around 20 to 30 thousand taka. However, all affected people are demanding current market price as the compensation for the loss of their land and crop. They also want to purchase another land as they are losing land. One person named Firoz who is losing majority part of the affected land mentioned “How can I survive if I lose my agriculture land? We are depending on agriculture income.” 5. Land price The affected people and some other people who live in this area claimed that land value is very high. This high price is due to the fact that the area is commercially important as, lots of shops are doing a thriving business in the market developed on the road side. The price will be increased after construction of bridge and they said per acre would be sold for 15 lac taka which will not be very realistic from the land valuation from other districts and locations.

Summary of Findings

The study team conducted field visit on the 4th of June 2015 to perceive impacts on land crops and livelihood and also compensation process and status. .

During the field visits, extensive discussions were conducted with the affected people, and also observed the subproject location, to understand Impact of the project on the community people’s property. The SRIIP and LGED representatives were also participated in the meeting field findings also shared with the LGED XEN of, Chapai-Nawabganj district and DTL of the SRIIP project.

A large number of people including affected persons were gathered in the meeting places and shared their opinions regarding the project and compensation methods, grievance on some specific issues. A detailed discussion conducted with a number of affected people of the project location (Annex-1)

Demand for road and public support: The construction of this road started in the year of 2014; the local people consider this road project in their area as the result of their long demand and therefore they have extended their complete support and cooperation to it. People expressed their views saying this, “We demanded this road for such a long time. Now it is here fulfilling our dream; we are giving our full support for the road. Even those people losing their land, also are equally enthusiastic about it.”

At the preliminary design stage, project director of SRIIP visited the area to have a discussion with the local people. He intended to have an understanding of how they related themselves with the project; moreover he also wanted to gain their confidence in relation to land acquisition that would be needed before the project got underway. People unanimously talked about their serious hardship for want of a road and they promised their full cooperation with the project. People enthusiastically came forward to let the project people acquire their land. For them road is much more important than some patches of land.

Land Acquisition and progress: The land acquisition process got underway in the year 2013. People received notices from the DC office. Most of the people whose land needed to be acquired offered their whole support to the acquisition process. A total of 21 people are identified as affected persons. Among them 4 to 6 persons who lost their inherited land have not yet received the compensation money; List of the affected people is in Annex.

Price of the affected land: The DC office offered the compensation payment rate which was more than the market rate. People of the area admitted that affected farm lands are remotely located and their market price is much lower than the price the affected people received. So these people are satisfied with the compensation money the DC office gave them.

Euroconsult Mott MacDonald 39

Semi Annual Involuntary Resettlement Report for SRIIP for The Period of Junuary 2016 – June 2016

However, the land price scenario is fast changing. The lands on both sides of the road are much costlier than interior land. Overall land price is getting higher because of the road. Now, per decimal land is selling 3 to 4 lac taka as a result of the road not yet fully constructed

Compensation money and use pattern: A discussion has been held with a number of people on what they did with the compensation money. Most of the people used their money to purchase land in some area where land price is more cheep. Some people also invested money for business and purchasing assets. Most of the people who received compensation money were happy with the land rate offered by Dc office as because the market rate is more or less same as the rate DC office compensate to the affected people.

However at least, 4 to 6 persons have not received any compensation money yet. Reasons identified for the delay are: Lack of appropriate land documents and problems with inheritance ownership and in some cases members are not willing to share the compensation among them. Grievances: Some people claimed that their mango trees near the road side have been damaged due to construction. As these trees provide these people’s living, any damage to these trees actually lowers their incomes. When this damage has been brought to the project people’s notices, some remedial steps have been taken to minimize this damage. The Resettlement Consultant discussed with contractor who promised that he would fill up the holes of the trees immediately.

Discussion with local chairman: Discussion was also held with the Chairmen Majaharul Hoque and Joglul Hoque from Daldalia and Jambaria union respectively .They contributed in many ways to the constriction of the road; motivate those unwilling people and gave their best efforts to resolve conflicts that arose at the time of land acquisition. Besides, they also helped people in overcoming the problems get compensation from DC offices. They lobbied with both DC and UNO visiting their offices with the affected people Sharing information with XEN: Few issues have been shared with the XEN Chapai Nawabgonj regarding compensation status of the project and some unsettled grievances. At least, 6 people (individuals and as a group) claimed that they did not receive compensation. The grievance of mango tree owners originated from damages caused by contractor's people dumping earth or chunks of mud at the feet of mango trees. The XEN said that the main reason for people not having compensation was the conflict over ownership of land and this needed to be resolved by them. Besides, some people have no paper to show as an evidence for their ownership papers. However, XEN will undertake an urgent imitative to disburse rest of the compensation to the affected people. Also he will discuss with the DC office and the local people.

About damaging the mango tree roots, he said he would immediately talk to the contractor to fill up holes made to these trees for their protection.

Public Consultation with the APs

A : Consultation and discussion findings

1. Discussion with affected people and community Key issues Detail finings Background history of the The construction of this road started in the year of 2014; the road alignment was made from the Bholarhat union to Shibgonj on private land of the people. Though the road goes through paddy field causing people to lose their cultivable land, it however will address people’s long felt need for an easy communication with the surrounding business and administrative locations. The local people consider this road project in their area as the result of their long demand and therefore they have extended their complete support and cooperation to it. People expressed their views saying this, “We demanded this road for such a long time. Now it is here fulfilling our dream; we are giving our full support for the road. Even those people losing their land, also are equally enthusiastic about it.”

Road is the most demanding This road has been a popular demand for a long time in the area. project Many a time in the past they placed their demand with the Member of Parliament (MP) elected from this constituency and also with other government officers. Getting to nearby unions people have to go through a long distance through paddy fields and other agricultural land and they walk as long as 26 to 30 km. This walking through farm land causes damage to crops. Farmers find it a daunting task to take their produces to the nearby markets. Rainy months are the hardest time, sometimes people’s movement comes to a total stop. Now, as the construction goes on, long suffering people heave a sigh of relief anticipating the busy coming days when this road will see people carrying their goods to markets day in day out. The road will connect Daldalia and Jambaria unions; they could see that about 500 people will use this road every day.

LGEDs participation When preliminary design was prepared, the project director of SRIIP visited the area to have a discussion with the local people. He intended to have an understanding of how they related themselves with the project; moreover he also wanted to gain their confidence in relation to land acquisition that would be needed before the project got underway. People unanimously talked about their serious hardship for want of a road and they promised their full cooperation with the project. The project director happened to meet an old farmer on his way home carrying a bundle of paddy. The farmer told him how difficult it had been for an old man like him to carry paddy or mangoes from field to home. The project director

Key issues Detail finings had an on field demonstration of how badly people` wanted the road. People enthusiastically came forward to let the project people acquire their land. For them road is much more important than some patches of land. Land Acquisition Process The land acquisition process got underway in the year 2013. People received notices from the DC office. Most of the people whose land needed to be acquired offered their whole support to the acquisition process. On the other hand, the DC Shah Alam and the UNO Mrs. Yasmeen visited the area, and discussed with the community also follow up people received their respective notices timely.

A total of 21 people are identified as affected persons. Among them 4 to 6 persons who lost their inherited land have not yet received the compensation money. Price of the affected land: The DC office decided the compensation payment rate which was more than the market rate. People of the area admitted that affected farm lands are remotely located and their market price is much lower than the price the affected people received. So these people are satisfied with the compensation money the DC office gave them.

However, the land price scenario is fast changing. The lands on both sides of the road are much costlier than interior land. Overall land price is getting higher because of the road. Now, per decimal land is selling 3 to 4 lac taka a result of the road not yet fully constructed Minimizing impacts Following some people’s strong opposition to the road going through their land and saving some mango groves, the road takes a number of turns; otherwise it would have been straighter. When such protests arose, local UP chairman and members and LGED people came forward to engage with the protesting people and helped the project people to find out a solution.

The initial alignment has been changed in order to keep the impacts minimum. This way many house structures could be saved. Mango groves could also be saved as these are the only source of living for their owners. In this effort to save valuable assets LGED and SRIIP people worked hand in hand with the local people.

2. Discussion held with a number of people on what they did with the compensation money.

Tofazzal: His 8,25 dec land has been acquired and he received 1 lac taka as compensation. He said the price he received was more than the amount he would receive at the local rate. In addition, he also received money for the loss of mango trees and standing crops. He is happy with the amount of money he got; a part of the compensation has been spent to buy two cows and another part spent to meet household expenses. He is happier that he could contribute for the new road.

Ikram: His 4.95 dec lands have been acquired that gave him 86 thousand taka. With that money he purchased 6.6 dec land in other area at a lower price.

Mosharaf, Md Afzal and Shahid Ali, these persons lost 29.7 dec of inherited land and received compensation for 21.45 dec and the payment for the rest of the land is delayed for its ownership is disputed. However, they also received compensation for 13 mango trees each priced 1000 taka. Till

Euroconsult Mott MacDonald 42

Semi Annual Involuntary Resettlement Report for SRIIP for The Period of Junuary 2016 – June 2016 now they received a total of TK.3 lac 29 thousand. With this money they are doing a number of business activities and have deposited a part in the bank.

Toharul Islam received 1 lac 16 thousand taka as compensation for his 7 decimals of land. He bought 49.5 dec lands and met some household expenses with the money. Abdus Sattar and one Chowkidar have received 6 lac taka for their 36 decimal land acquired; they also got another amount for some trees lost.

Abdur Sattar, Ashraf and Marlen: Their 36 decimal land has been acquired and they received TK. 6 lac as compensation. At least 4 to 6 persons have not received any compensation. Reasons they cited for this nonpayment are as follow: Lack of appropriate land documents and problems with inheritance ownership are some reasons for not getting compensation. Moreover, some claimed that paying bribes to DC office staff has also been a reason to get compensation money quickly.

Family members having problems over ownership of inherited land did not receive the compensation. Also members were not willing to share the compensation among them.

Here is a picture of such conflict elicited from a discussion with such people:

Ikram Hoque also did not receive due to the ownership problem.

Shadul Islam told that he and other three persons claimed ownership of a piece of land, 17 decimal in size. One of them claimed to have purchased the land but couldn’t show any documents of registration.

AP Saidur said, “We 5 people, own 17 decimal lands. Among us some could show the registration documents with their names and received the compensation but others still having documents with the names of previous owners have not yet received any compensation. They are waiting to get this problem sorted for about 6to 7 months.

3. Discussion with local Chairmen

Discussion was also held with the Chairmen Majaharul Hoque and Joglul Hoque from Daldalia and Jambaria union respectively. Both chairmen are education and have contributed in many ways to the constriction of the road; they kept in touch with those who were willing to let the project acquire their land and also tried to motivate those unwilling people. The UP chairmen of the areas gave their best efforts to resolve conflicts that arose at the time of land acquisition. Besides, they also helped people in overcoming the problems get compensation from DC offices. They lobbied with both DC and UNO visiting their offices with the affected people

However, people from Jambaria union were more supportive than those of Allodia union where there are more conflicts. More land from Daldalia union than Jambaria union has been acquired.
