Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------
Summary
1. The Project.
Economic and Social development of a country mainly depends on roads. Compared to many other countries in the South Asian region, Sri Lanka has a higher road density (1.5km of road / km2 or 5.5 km of road per 1000 people).
The objective of the Road Sector Assistance Project II (RSAP II) is to improve two road sections of A006 highway. The total length of these road sections is 133km. These road sections run across four provinces of the country. (Sri Lanka is administratively divided into 9 provinces).
These road sections will not be widened significantly under the proposed project and there will be no major resettlement or relocation of communities/affected persons living close to the road.
The project needs to prepare social assessments for each road section along with a Resettlement Plan in compliance with the Government‟s National Policy on Involuntary Resettlement and World Bank‟s Operational Policy (OP) 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement.
1.2. Proposed Road sections that are to be rehabilitated under the RSAP II
Following road sections will be improved and rehabilitated the under the proposed project (total length of both road sections is 133km) .
Ambepussa – Habarana Road Section – A006 ( from 00km to 90km) Kanthale – Trincomalee Road Section – A006 (from 157km – 200km)
2. Project Related Impacts:

e) Increase in value of lands and other properties
f) Better employment opportunities with opening of the region to other areas
g) Economy of the region will improve
h) Savings in travel time with better roads
i) Improving the health and education with better access to facilities.
The negative impacts that can be anticipated are loss of : a) lands, b) assets, infrastructures, livelihood located in the ROW, etc. c) trees and d) utilities and drinking water supply lines.
While during the construction phase, the potential negative impacts can be listed as:
a). Increase in traffic congestions,
b). Increase in dust and noise
c). Disturbance to some groups such as school children, infants and old and sick persons living in close proximity to construction sites.
d) Loss of access to houses/business etc. and e) social disturbances with inflow of migrant labor for construction work.
3. Conflict Analysis
Road sections of the proposed project are the main access roads to North and Eastern regions of Sri Lanka from the other parts of the country. Northern and Eastern provinces were the core areas where the 30 year long civil war took place. This led to destruct the road system in this area and crippled the entire economic activities due to lack of transport facilities.
Therefore, the proposed road rehabilitation project would help to accelerate the on going development programmes of these conflict affected area as well as the rest of the country. The road sections traverse over different geographical regions in terms of natural resources, ethnic groups, cultural and religious values, economic activities and main urban and semi-urban areas in this country.
Different communities in these areas can travel and transport their produce easily after completing proposed project. And also, people in the project affected area would
3
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------be able to fulfill several needs traveling fat away regions such as; visiting relatives, worshipping religious places, transporting agricultural produce to market, and buying basic needs from the regional commercial hubs.
There is a considerable number of project affected Female Headed Families in the proposed project area. These families also would benefit through improving income sources and livelihood after completion the work of the project. Conflicts related to the project area are provided in chapter 02 of this report.
4. Gender Analysis
According to the Annual report of Central Bank of Sri Lanka -2009, the estimated mid year population of the country is 20.4 million in 2009 and 51% of the population is female. Total labor force comprises 7.6millions employed and 0.5 millions unemployed persons. Female Labor Force Participation Rate is 33% of the population in 2009 in Sri Lanka.
The field studies carried out for the social survey relevant to current study highlighted the majority of the house units comprised with male - headed or father – based families. But, there are 21 female headed the proposed road sections include families. The total population of these families is 90.
Total number of female population of these families is 37. Details of gender analysis are provided in chapter 03 of this report.
5. Grievance Redress Mechanism A grievance redressal mechanism will be established to prevent grievances at the outset rather than react to problems. Grievances can be minimized through careful design and implementation by ensuring active participation and consultation with affectees establishing rapport between the community and the RDA and the PMU through frequent interactions, transparency and monitoring.
6. Identification of PAPs and affected assets/property etc.
The total number of affected persons of the project is 1099 and they belong to 407 households. The details of affected structures and affected persons are given in table 1.

7. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement.
It has found that small portions (2550m2) of lands are to be required to purchase or acquire for this road construction at some places. Sixty eight (68) households will be loosing their lands and total population of these households is 188. The lands will be purchased on willing buyer-willing seller basis. It will be at the replacement value at current market prices. The seller will have the option to refuse it. If any acquisition is carried out it will follow normal acquisition procedure without following the section 38A Proviso, which is the emergency procedure of the LAA.
To purchase or acquire required lands the RDA will follow a transparent process as follows;
5
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------
The lands will be taken on willing buyer-willing seller basis. The RDA ensures that land is appropriate for the intended purpose It will be at the replacement value at current market prices of the area. The seller will have the option to refuse it. It will be at replacement value at current market prices. It does not negatively impact on the livelihood of any vulnerable group, and if so, that community developed mitigation measures are acceptable to the affectee. There are no encumbrances on the lands. The lands should not belong to any person who is below the poverty line.
In addition to the affected properties mentioned in table 1, the following trees and common infrastructure facilities will be affected during construction stage of the road sections.
There are 2008 trees (557 fruit trees and 1451 trees of timber value) to be removed. Out of them 203 trees (trees of timber value 117 and fruits trees 86) are privately owned by 96 individuals. Details of affected trees are given in Table 3.2. 1897 of electricity posts, 2049 of telephone posts and 4030m of water distribution line.
8. Socio-Economic Profile and Vulnerability of PAPs
The PAPs belong to 407 households. About 7% of the households affected are reported as women headed households. The rest, 93% of households are male headed units. Only about 1.5% of the affected PAPs have obtained higher education. Majority (25%) have education qualification between grades 6 to 10. About 19% of the PAPs have no formal education while 21% is reported as primary level education (Grade 1 to 5).
Nearly 74% of PAPs are Sinhala. The 2nd largest ethnic group affected is Muslim (16%) and nearly 10% of PAPs are Tamils.
Only 9% of the families are reported as families getting some small assistance from the government. Nearly 35% of the PAPs are involved in moderate and small business activities.
9. Stakeholder Consultations
Consultations have been held with both direct and indirect stakeholders in the selected road sections. Without any exclusion Men, women, youth, vulnerable

Introduction Background and Methodology
1. Background of the Geographic area and the Justification of the Project
The Ambepussa – Dambulla (00km to 90km of A006 road) and Kantale – Trincomalee (157km to 200km of A006 road) road sections of the Road Sector Assistance Project –II traverse over important geographic areas in Sri Lanka in terms of environmental, cultural, economic, social and political spheres.
While these road sections run over diverse geographical areas and connect different regions such as wet and dry climatic zones, production areas with markets and service sectors with industries bringing different races and religious groups together.
It can also be surmised that the Road Sector Assistance Project –II joins urban areas with rural and densely populated urban areas and sparsely populated underdeveloped rural areas (Map 1.1). Therefore, this project would pave the way to decentralize economic development ensuring balanced regional development of the country. This would lead for a prosperous future for Sri Lanka accelerating sustainable development process.
1.1 Relief features of the project area Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale - Trincomalee road sections of the proposed project fall into the coastal peniplane in Sri Lanka. Elevation of this region varies from mean sea level to 300m.
A large portion of the land areas where the road runs over almost a plat terrain while small segments of this road run over rolling earth surface. Therefore, the slope angle of the long section varies from 3% - 10% degrees.

13
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------1.2 Socio -Economic Background of Sri Lanka
1.2.1 Profile of Sri Lanka
The socio – economic background of Sri Lanka as of any other country has been determined by several factors. geography, history and contemporary political situation of the country are the key aspects of such a background.
The Democratic Social Republic of Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean with a population of about 20.4 Mn in 2009. Sinhalese make up the majority (74%) of the population. Tamils, Muslims and other ethnic groups represent the rest of the population. In terms of religion, majority is Buddhists (78%) and Hindu, Islam, Catholic and others make up 22% of the population.
The end of 25 years long terror conflict has brought about new expectations and confidence to Sri Lanka. The impact of this can be seen in many fronts. The economy posted a significant growth of 7% in the first quarter of 2010, supported by resilient domestic demand and the gradual recovery of the global economic conditions. This growth was established in all the sub- sectors with agriculture (9%), industry (6.9%) and services (6.7%). It is expected that economy will grow at a faster pace of about 7 to 8 % in this year due to favorable macro- economic changes.
Sri Lanka is a middle income country with GDP of about USD 41.9 bi in 2009. This translates into a per capita income of USD 2050. The Government’s mission is to increase the per capita income from USD 2000 to USD 4000 by 2014.
The literacy rate of the population is 91.3%, and this rate for males is 92.8% and for females is 90.0%. Unemployment rate was 5.7% of the labor force in 2009. Poverty is still recognized as an issue of concern (15.2% people were in poverty category in 2006/07).
Human Development Index (HDI) of Sri Lanka has increased significantly reflecting the overall social development in the country. HDI was 0.759 in 2007, ranking 102 among 182 countries in the world.
1.2.2 Indigenous People: Vaddha Folk
There are indigenous people in Sri Lanka. Local name of them is “Vaddha”. The road sections of the proposed project do not cross over the areas where they dwell. Therefore, indigenous people of Sri Lanka are not affected with any way in regard to their livelihood and routine life by this project.
14
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------1.2.3 Significance of Social Development and Infrastructure facilities
Sri Lanka has planned to develop vital social sector in compliance with Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations. Accordingly, Social Development and Infrastructure facilities have reached a satisfactory level when compared to other countries in South Asia. Few indicators such as education, health facilities are equal to developed nations. This background is proved well by the Human Development Index (HDI), indicators of education, health, communication system, and supply of electricity, safe water and other vital factors that determine the quality of life of the masses.
1.2.4. Road Net-work
Transportation facilities are a sine qua non to the socio – economic development of any country (Rasanayagam, 1997). The road density, width and the quality of roads would determine the socio – economic background of a society and the rate of over all development. Road density in comparatively developed region in Sri Lanka is higher than the rest (Map 1.2). The road system in Sri Lanka demonstrates this situation as in many other countries.
The history of road development in Sri Lanka dates back to colonial period. Production of coffee, rubber and tea were required to be transported to Colombo for shipment. Therefore, the roads in wet zone of Sri Lanka were older than those in the dry zone. However, when Sri Lanka got independence in 1948, there was a main road system connecting important commercial, administrative and economical hubs of Sri Lanka. But, the road density and quality facilitating social development were poor in terms of road - population ratio, road length, vehicles and passengers. The importance of railway system has been fading away compared to high ways since independence.
The total length of all roads including A, B, C, D and E classes and rural, local and plantation was 94,651km by 1991. This number rose up to 100,000km by 1996. Since the main urban centers of the country are connected by A and B class roads, they have become the critical factor in terms of economic and social development of the country. It seems that the total length of classes A and B roads have been increasing from 1986 significantly (Table 1.1 and Figure 1.1). The total length of A and B class roads was 8,444kms in 1963 and 8836kms in 1981. But, this figure increased by 26% from 1963 to 1996.

The government has initiated several projects to develop national road system in Sri Lanka. Colombo – Katunayaka, Colombo – Matara, and Colombo – Kandy express ways and other road rehabilitation and improvement and maintenance projects would boost the road system significantly in the near future.
1.3 Objective of the Social Assessment (SA)
The current study covers the total length of the road sections - Ambepussa (00km) _ Dambulla (90km) and Kanthale (147km) - Trincomalee (200km) and Majid Road (3km) is 146km. The objective of the Social Assessment for this road rehabilitation project is as follows;
- Identification of affected persons in order to determine the persons likely to be adversely affected by the project, project works and severity and extent of the respective impacts. This also includes an assessment of impacts on their assets, infrastructure, livelihood etc. located on the proposed road sections along with an income and asset survey. - Identification of poor and vulnerable groups with strategies to ensure that such groups benefit from the project - Ensure adequate stakeholder consultation and participation - Review of legal and other management framework - Developing migratory measures to minimize all negative impacts - Preparation entitlement matrix and implementation plan - Preparation resettlement action plan based on the SIA
- Under identification of social and economic impacts following factors are to be taken into account. - Back ground information (demography) of affected persons by this project
17
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------Information of income sources and impacts from the proposed project during and after construction. - Gender issues, conflicts and Social risk (Affected persons‟ houses, business places and temporary sales-stall also included).
Environmental impacts that would emerge by this proposed project are to be identified through this study. Review legal and other management framework relevant development project of GoSl is also an objective of preparation the SA
Overall objective of preparation of this SA is to identify and to propose plan to ensure that all communities are benefited without any discrimination through identifying all kinds of adverse impacts of the project area, its influence on the community during and after the construction of roads.
1.4 Rationale of the project
Socio-economic and cultural growth mainly depends on its speedy, safe, economical, comfortable and efficient transport system and in particular road transport system. About 75 percent of its population is scattered over its rural area.
Absence of a well developed road network has caused lack of basic facilities such as education, medical assistance, banking, recreational, employment potentiality, inter – regional transport of agricultural inputs and consumer goods, outward transportation of agricultural and forestry produce, live stocks and their products in and/or around most of the villages.
The Government of Sri Lanka has embarked on several new rural developments and poverty alleviation programs in the rural areas of the country in the recent years and it was felt necessary that the fruits of development reach even to the remotest areas of the country.
The Road Development Authority of the “Ministry of Highways and Road Development” in Sri Lanka has developed a Road Sector Master Plan with the overall objective of developing a comprehensive strategic plan for the physical development of the road network at national, provincial and local levels. Public consultations has been carried out during the project selection and feasibility studies. The views of the community were taken into consideration for the ear-marking of priority roads.
Considering the views of the consulted communities during the feasibility studies and the Social Assessment survey, following specific development activities were recommended;
- Improve the existing road with standard two lane facility
18
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------Improve the existing pavement with AC treatment - Improve the horizontal alignment at selected locations to reduce acute curves in order to provide safe driving conditions - Widen , repair or reconstruct damaged culverts and bridges and construct new culverts at locations where road will be constructed on new embankments - Remove any irregularities that are on the existing vertical profile - Provide pedestrian footpaths, bus bays and rest bays where necessary
1.5 Benefits to the economy from roads
The proposed project is mainly to rehabilitate and upgrade the existing road sections from, Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale – Trincomalee (A006) which run through Central, Sabaragamuwa , North Western and Eastern provinces. This highway helps a significant segment of traffic flow which includes passenger buses, heavy vehicles and private vehicles. Also the tourists and devotees who visit Trincomalee, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla and Sigiriya areas contribute to the present traffic of this section of the highway. Traffic flow is significant during weekends and on Poya (Full moon) days on these roads.
After ending the 30 year long civil war, the Government of Sri Lanka has launched massive development programmes in these provinces. The overall objective of the government development programs is to uplift the socio – economic status through providing electricity, improving health services, education, housing, transport, industries, agriculture and other infrastructure facilities. The development of roads in this area has been identified as the initial step of upgrading socio- economic levels. Therefore, the proposed project has become a prime development task to be completed before other projects.
Implementation of mega development projects will need a better road infrastructure in terms of providing proper transportation during its implementation stage and operational stage. A006 highway has already being identified as a potential highway that will support this development programme.
A006 road is extensively used by heavy trucks which operate to transport fish, agro- produce and other commodities from Trincomalee harbor to other parts of the country and in return many items to Trincomalee area. It is anticipated that the number of such trucks will further increase once Norochchole coal power plant becomes operational. However, due to poor maintenance the road surface has deteriorated to a level that many vehicles avoid using this route to reach Trincomalee.
If this road is rehabilitated and developed, it could be used by vehicles carrying cement from the main cement production company named “Mitsui Cement Company” in Trincomalee.

Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------
1.6 Analysis of alternatives
A. Without the Project
The pavement and many structures from Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale - Trincomalee( A006) road sections are very unsatisfactory due to lack of maintenance. Narrowness at certain sections and black spots have created a high operational and maintenance cost of vehicles. If rehabilitation and upgrading works are not conducted the road pavement will be further damaged to a level when vehicles may not be able to operate along the road. Further it will adversely affect many development projects and the overall development process of the project influenced area.
B. With the proposed project
Through the proposed development project, the intension is to develop the road sections under consideration with two lanes carriageway, space for emergency parking at town sections, improved cross and side drainage , walkways, alignment changes to sharp bends to cater to the designed speed and other road furniture at required locations.
The road surface will be improved with asphalt concrete which is suitable for heavy loading. Finally operational and maintenance cost of vehicles would be reduced and, therefore, the transport efficiency will be increased. The ultimate effect of this would enhance and sustain the development of the project influenced area.
1.7 Justification of the Project
When considering factors mentioned above, the proposed road rehabilitation project of Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kanthale - Trincomalee ( A006) road section may enhance the economic development process of the project area as well as surrounding areas (Map 1.1 and Table 1.2 and 1.3).
Consequently the development of this area would help to increase GDP of Sri Lanka ensuring continuous increase of per capita income.

1.8 Baseline information of the Project Area: Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale - Trincomalee (A006) Road Section
1.8.1 Project Background
The Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) has requested financing from the World Bank to assist them to rehabilitate, improve and maintain the national roads network with an objective to achieve improved and sustainable road transport by enhancing the durability, efficiency and economic impact of the national road network. The proposed project will only focus on rehabilitation improvement and maintenance of national roads selected (Table 1.2) through a strategic study, in order to facilitate economic activity in the areas served and provide users with better road safety conditions. The World Bank is financing the entire project cycle from feasibility study to the construction phase. Projects and Programs financed with IDA resources need to comply with World Bank Operational Policies. Therefore, sub-contracts and components eligible for funding under this project will be required to satisfy the World Bank‟s safeguard policies, in addition to conformity with social policies of the GOSL. The activities to be financed by the project do not have the potential to trigger significant negative social impacts. It is anticipated that social issues and impacts would be minimal in terms of road rehabilitation and maintenance projects.

North Western, Sabaragamuwa, and Central are the provinces the Ambepussa – Dambulla road crosses over which is to be rehabilitated under the proposed project. Eastern province of Sri Lanka is the main province that receives direct benefits from the Kantale – Trincomalee road section. The details of the project area can be taken from the 1:50000 scale map produced by the Survey Department of Sri Lanka (Map
21
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------1.3). Rest of four provinces in Sri Lanka also would benefit indirectly from this project (Annex 03).
Ten districts out of 25, 129 Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSDs) out of 13983 DSDs and 17231 villagers out of 37300 villages also receive direct benefits (Table 1.3) from the proposed Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale – Trincomalee road rehabilitation project ( Table 2 of Annex 03). Out of 6.3 Mn total population of the four provinces in the project area, influencing population is 3.7 Mn. All the most important market centers of the project influenced districts are situated along this road section. Names and the relative location of such centers are given in Map 1.4.

Table 1.4 shows number of administrative units within the project influencing provinces. Number of the historical sites and scenic places can be seen within this project area. Thousands of both local and foreign tourists who visit these sites annually would be happy to make a journey on improved roads. This may increase the number of tourist arrivals into the project area. Other than these positive results, roads proposed to be rehabilitated provide service to stimulate the entire spectrum of the human activities particularly within the project area as well as adjoining provinces.
New government that came into power in April 2010 has pledged to boost the economy of the country. The proposed road rehabilitation project would help immensely to the success of the plans of the new government.
After improving the proposed Ambepussa – Dambulla (00km to 90Kms of A06) and Kantale to Trincomalee ( 157km – 200Km – A06) road sections, they would join agricultural and other local production yards with markets, main administrative centers with local, urban centers with rural areas, urban, administrative and commercial hubs with other such centers of the other end of the country. Therefore, rehabilitating the existing Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale to Trincomalee road section will help to communicate with one another effectively accelerating the development process of entire Sri Lanka.
1.9 Methodology
Research methodology used in this study can broadly be divided into three parts as;
1. Data Collection 2. Data Analysis 3. Presentation of results
1.9.1 Data Collection
According to the Terms of Reference (TOR) of this project, required data were pre- determined. Data already available by means of books, reports and unpublished document and news papers were used as secondary data sources in this study. Field survey method was the main technique applied to collect data of people and properties likely to be affected.
Three ways were applied to collect field data; viz,
1. Set Questioner 2. Interviews/ Case Studies and 3. Observation
25
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------
All three methods of field data collection were used at the same day traveling along the proposed road sections. Three research assistants with field supervisors plus six helpers were employed to collect field data. Each field assistant was allocated to collect data on one field using questionnaires, interviews or observations (please see Annexure 01 and 02 for questionnaire). The collected data were tabulated according to the requirement of result.
1.9.2 Type of data collected for the survey
Both primary and secondary data collected on the basis of given TOR for the assignment are classified as follows;
a. Baseline Data
Baseline data related to the project area and information about existing condition therein were collected. Priority was given to Population characteristic, Community resources, Livelihood of the community, Individual and family changes, Political and social resources, Community and institutional structures etc.
b. Socio – economic data
The census for PAPs covering socio – economic background was conducted in the proposed road development area. The properties located within the ROW and immediate vicinity of the road that may be affected was enumerated. The study team considered 500m meter strips to both sides to collect socio economic data for the SIA of the project influenced area. The relevant road designs and drawings for the particular road were used to identify persons and properties likely to be affected. The survey includes the following:
- Commercial establishments
- Houses
- Lands
- Minor road access
- Parapet walls, gates, fences
- Cultural centers
- Public utilities such as telephone, electricity, water lines etc.
- Temporary sales outlets, business places
26
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------Three wheelers parks and hiring vehicle parks and
- Trees to be affected
Those are the major areas of impacts to be considered for this study. Direct- affected households were surveyed through a questionnaire survey. Men, women, youth, vulnerable groups were questioned for this survey. Interviews were held to gather socio economic data to determine socio economic background of those concerned.
1.9.3. Stakeholders Consultations
Field investigation launched under Social survey focused on different stakeholders (primary and secondary) making use of a specific methodology. Stakeholder consultation is very important since different types of stakeholders can contribute their valuable ideas, suggestions and capacity, thereby extending their support to the success of the project tasks.
Focus groups discussion were undertaken with the community such as female-headed households, truck drivers, bus drivers, residents in poor clusters, laborers, road side vendors, petty businessmen, men, women, youths, students, farmers, etc.
Before conducting a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), the study team developed checklists unique to them. The consultant paid more attention to identify negative and positive impacts of the project.
All affected householders were specially interviewed and collected information on affected structures, assets, utilities, and land use etc. The socio-economic background of the PAPs was recorded through questionnaire surveys. In addition to that all relevant Government agencies / officials such as Divisional secretaries, heads of pradeshiya sabha, Grama Niladharies, RDA officers, land officers, MOH/midwife, principals of schools, estate developers, religious leaders, leaders of CBOs/NGOs, and, police officers and other concerned parties were interviewed and information was recorded ( Please refer annex 09 and chapter 06 for details).
1.9.4. Data Analysis Both qualitative and quantitative data analyzing methods were used in this study. However, basic statistical techniques along with qualitative data analysis methods were employed to obtain required results.
Following stages were followed to collect secondary data;
27
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------
1. Review of secondary data
Available primary and secondary data sources (see the list of references for details of these sources) relevant to this project were used to analyze socio economic condition of the project area. Those primary sources were prepared during the project feasibility studies and designing stages. The secondary data sources referred in this study as follows;
a. Legal and Safeguards Framework ( Policies)
Policies of both the Government of Sri Lanka and The World Bank were reviewed. Especially these policies were reviewed to determine the provisions of social safeguards that may become necessary (ex. National Involuntary Resettlement Policy of Sri Lanka, World Bank Operational Policies etc.).
b. “Mahinda Chinthanaya” - A new crash programme was introduced by the incumbent president to quicken the development process of Sri Lanka. This is the ten year horizon development framework - 2006-2016 of the Government.
With the implementation of “Eastern Revival” mega development projects targeting the development of eastern region specially Trincomalee district of the country under the “Mahinda Chinthanaya” ( The contemporary government‟s main development program) have been undertaken.
c. Road Sector Master Plan ( Published by Road Development Authority, March 2007) As the responsible institute for constructing, developing and maintaining the national road network the Road Development Authority (RDA) of the Ministry of Highways and Road Development has developed a Road Sector Master Plan with the overall objective of developing a comprehensive strategic plan for the physical development of the road network at national, provincial and local level.

Chapter 2 - Conflict Analysis
2.0. Introduction
Proposed road rehabilitation project will improve important road sections of A006 highway. The A006 highway is the main access road to North and Eastern part of Sri Lanka from the rest of regions of the country. North and Eastern provinces were the core areas where the 30 years long civil war took place.
This led to the road system in this area and crippled the entire economic activities due to lack of transport facilities. As the civil war in this country has ended, upgrading the road system has become a vital need to boost the development of conflict - affected areas. Therefore, the proposed road rehabilitation project would help to accelerate the development process of conflict- affected area as well as the rest of the country.
On the other hand, the proposed Ambepussa – Dambulla, as well as Kantale – Trincomalee road sections under Road Sector Assistance Project –II would be the vital requirement that would help to enhance the development effectiveness.
This road sections traverse over different geographical regions in terms of natural resources, ethnic groups, cultural and religious values, economic activities and main urban and semi-urban areas in this country ( Map 2.1). Different communities in these areas can travel and transport their produce easily after completing the proposed project to fulfill several needs such as; visiting relatives, worshipping religious places, transporting agricultural produce to market, and buying basic needs from the regional commercial hubs.
2.1 IDPs due to Ethnic conflict
The IDPs due to war is higher in Baticaloa district among the project influenced districts. Though the Puttlam district is not in the proposed project area, the proposed road to rehabilitate under this project connects Putllam district to Trincomalee district. Table 2.1 depicts that the almost entire war – displaced persons are within the project influenced area and neighboring districts. Therefore, the proposed project would help immensely to upgrade the living standard and ensure the livelihoods of such people particularly internally displaced Tamil and Muslim people in the Northern and Eastern provinces in Sri Lanka.

2.2. Female Headed Families
There is a considerable number of project affected Female Headed Families (21) in the proposed project area. Most of these families had been facing difficulties due to conflict situation of the North East parts of Sri Lanka. These families also would benefit through improving income sources and livelihood after completion of the project.
Total number of population of these families is 90 and total female population is 37. A considerable number of elderly persons are also within the female headed families. (Details are given in chapter 03 of this report). a. Recommendations to Strengthen the inter –ethnic reconciliation of the community in the project area
Following recommendation can be made to strengthen the inter–ethnic reconciliation of the project area because the road sections traverse over different ethnic regions. All three ethnic groups; Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims use these road sections together. Therefore all three groups should understand alike the place name, road safety sign boards and hence,
32
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------
1. Name boards in all three language along the road where necessary 2. Play cards to demarcate road conditions 3. Directions boards to important places 4. Special bus halting places for religious places 5. Slogans boards to develop personal attitudes and inter cultural knowledge 6. Traffic filter lights systems 7. Zebra crossings at required locations 8. Over head bridges especially close to schools and village markets should be made available.

Chapter 3 - Gender Analysis
3.1 Context of the country
According to the Annual report of Central Bank of Sri Lanka -2009, the estimated mid year population of the country is 20.4 million in 2009 and 51% of the population are female. Expectation of life at birth of female is 77.9 years which is higher than the male life expectancy (70.3 years). Female literacy rate are 90% in 2008. It is lower than male literacy rate of 92.8%.
Total labor force comprises 7.6millions employed and 0.5 millions unemployed persons. Female Labor Force Participation Rate is 33% of the population in 2009 in Sri Lanka. The gender analysis of the Labor Force Participation Rate over the years had shown that the participation rate of males has been almost twice that of females through the recent past. Unemployment rate of female is 8.6% as compared to that of 4.3% among males. It is more acute among the young group of 15 – 20 years age (unemployment rate of young female was 27.9% earlier).
3.2. Women in project area
It was witnessed from the field study of the proposed project that the majority of the house units comprised of male - headed or father – based families. Few women headed families could also be seen within the project affected area. Whether, in men or women headed families, women play a key role as housewife or breadwinner of the family joining the economic activities as men of the project area. Income of these women would increase as the road development encourages the buyers and tourists into the project area. At the same time, developed roads would enhance the economic and social activities of women.
Majority of women in the project area are engaged in small scale business such as keeping small retail shops, eating – houses or moveable temporary road-by sales stalls. Many women are engaged in agricultural activities. Paddy cultivation is the main activity of such women. Growing maize, kurakkan (finger Millet) chilies and other vegetable varsities are most popular economic activities of women in Kurunegala, Trincomalee and Kegalle districts which come under the proposed project area.
Transporting and selling agro-produce into the markets are also a main occupation of women. Many women use bicycle to transport agricultural produce from farm yard to
34
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------homes and to local market or main road. In general, women themselves sell harvest to mobile agro produce collecting trucks (Lorries).
Yong women of the Kurunagala and Trincomalee districts are employed in garment factories which are situated near urban areas. Many school girls also travel from villages to schools in urban areas by public buses. These young women and school girls will be helped in traveling to work places or schools by developed roads. Travel time will be reduced and availability of buses in the project area will be increased after completing the proposed project.
A field study revealed that the women in Trincomalee urban limits have joined business and fishing as well as local tourist industry. These women would be benefited by this project. The economic advantages of women of the proposed project area of Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kanthale – Trincomalee fall basically into two groups
a. Rural, economically backward geographical regions. b. Middle and high income urban or semi-urban regions
Both men and women have to join actively to income generation and domestic daily activities. Many women have to perform these two tasks. In addition to economic activities and house keeping women, children and elders normally carry out other social and personal matters actively. In the same time they have to face problems as explained above. The project area was affected both directly and indirectly by the North- East war during the past 30 years. Proposed road rehabilitation project of Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kanthale - Trincomalee would be a contributory step to enhance the economic activities of women in the project area particularly to rural and economically backward people of these road sections.
3.3. Female Beneficiaries of the Project area
Total number of females in the beneficiary provinces in the project area was 1,239,700 (2006). Majority in Eastern Province are females while Anuradapura District in the North Central Province registered majority.
3.3.1. Number of Household, Female Headed households and their percentage in Project Districts
National average of female headed household percentage is 20.1%. Lowest rate was recorded from Moneragala (15.1%) District and highest rate was recorded from Kandy District (22.3%)
35
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------Percentage of Female headed households in the project area varies from 19.3 to – 20%. This is closer to national average (Table 3.1).

POLICIES RELATED TO LEGAL ASPECTS AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS
A series of measures will be implemented with a view to minimizing the negative impact of land acquisition process at national level. These litigator measures include national laws and policies of Sri Lanka along with the policies of World Bank. The relevant policies and laws in this regard are briefly presented in this chapter.
4.1 Law & Policy on Land Acquisition
4.1.1. Land Acquisition Act
The law is “The Land Acquisition Act (LAA)”, enacted in 1950 governing acquisition of land for public purposes. This law has been the subject of several amendments and revisions, the latest being in 1979. The LAA sets out the procedures for acquiring land and payment of compensation to the owners.
A notice is issued specifying that land is potentially required for a public purpose, and accordingly authorized personnel undertake investigations (surveys, boreholes, and setting out of boundaries etc) to determine suitability. If the land is found suitable for the public purpose a written declaration to that effect is made. Subsequently, notices are issued describing the land, the intention to acquire the land, and requiring that persons with an interest in the land to notify (in writing) the acquiring officer of their claim (including the compensation amount expected).
Once the claim is received the acquiring officer holds an inquiry in order to ascertain the market value of the land, the claims for compensation, and the respective interests of the claimants. At the conclusion of the inquiry the acquiring officer at his discretion either makes a decision on the claims or refers the claims to the District Court or Primary Court.
As per the decision made by the acquiring officer fixes an award determining the persons who are entitled to compensation, the total amount of compensation to be allowed for the acquisition, and the apportionment of the compensation among the other persons with interest in the land. If there is a dispute over the determination the claimants may appeal to either the compensation Review Board or Court of Appeal (on questions of law following a decision by the Compensation Review Board). However this appeal is required to be filed within 21 days of receipt of notification of the award.
38
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------Provisions of the LAA allow payment of compensation in installments followed by an initial payment. If the claimant of the land agrees to a land exchange in lieu of cash, the transfer is put into effect. After the awards are made the Minister publishes or gazettes a “vesting order” for the acquirement of the land, after which time occupants of any buildings located on the land to be vested are given notice to vacate.
One of the shortcomings of the LAA is that the onus to prove ownership or interest in, demonstrate clear title, to gather all information and submit a compensation claim in respect of the land to be acquired, is on the Affected Persons (APs). Often APs are not aware of their rights or timeframes to be observed under the LAA, or they are aware but are ill-equipped to deal with the procedures required and are also not experienced in dealing with various officials and documentation. In order to remedy this situation, the project will be required to assist APs in making their claims under the LAA as part of the consultation and participation process.
APs often face serious delays in the land acquisition process due to time consuming inquiries and the fact that they are conducted by Divisional Secretaries who often do not have experience to interpret legal documents.
Ownership issues - The following measures are currently adopted in other road project to minimize these issues:
The Divisional Secretary is assisted by the RDA with inquiries through engagement of a lawyer to look into deeds and issue a title clearance certificate, where required. This enables the acquisition officer to make quick decisions. The lawyer can also advise APs on a case basis;
A daily allowance to be paid to APs who give up a day (or more) of work to attend inquiries required for the land acquisition process;
Recommendation that the surveys required under Sections 2 (including perimeter survey) and 6 (preliminary plan) of the LAA be undertaken simultaneously.
There are also problematic issues related to the payment of compensation.
As noted earlier the LAA provides for an initial payment (Rs25,000) and then the balance amount is to be paid “…in not more than ten equal installments, so that the entire balance compensation is paid before the lapse of ten years from the date of payment of the said sum of Rs 25,000” [Section 29 (ii)]. To enable APs to restore their livelihoods within a short period after the land acquisition, payment of compensation and allowances must be effected in a lump sum to ensure immediate livelihood restoration.
39
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------This will also avoid delays in the award of contract for civil works. ADB insists that the implementation of the resettlement plan be approved before it will sign a letter of no objection to commencement of civil works. A clause included in the other projects in this regard is as follows: “…RDA will not take possession of any private property prior to full payment of compensation entitlements, and where applicable, of relocation arrangements and initiation of income restoration measures.”
No doubt that the compensation process as set out in the LAA remains flawed, APs can receive up to four different payments at different times (the statutory compensation (Section 17 of the LAA), the “top-up” compensation referred to as the LARC payment, the ex-gratia payment, and then interest on any compensation amount not paid) and the statutory payment can be paid in installments therefore, further delaying the payment of full compensation. This delays the land acquisition process and prevents APs from being able to immediately restore their livelihoods.
4.1.2 Road Development Authority Act
The Road Development Authority Act enacted in 1981 provides for the establishment of the RDA and specifies the powers, functions, duties and responsibilities of the RDA. Declaring areas for „road development‟, which under the meaning of the Act includes the construction of new roads or the maintenance or improvement of existing roads is dealt with in Part II. Improvements include any widening, leveling, provision of footpaths, treatment for mitigation of dust or any other works beyond ordinary repairs.
Carrying out integrated road planning and development, submitting such plans for Government approval, and following approval, implementing the road development plans, works and activities can be considered as the functions and duties of RDA.
Under Section 8 of the Act, the Minister, after taking into consideration the requirements of local and national planning and what is urgently required for the regulation and control of road development, may declare a „road development area‟ following an order or notice (which sets out the requirement and physical boundaries) published in the gazette.
Land acquisition for road development as a “public purpose” is dealt with in section 22. This provides for the acquisition by, and transfers to, the RDA of immovable or moveable property within any declared road development area, for which the RDA will pay any sum payable under the LAA [Section 22 (2)]. Therefore, after the Section 8 notice has been gazetted, if land or other property is to be acquired, the procedures are as set out in the LAA.
40
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------
4.1.3 National Policy on Involuntary Resettlement
Road projects require clearance and use of land, land acquisition and resettlement of people and re-building of their dwellings, crops and structures. Resettlement can have a number of adverse social and cultural impacts including:
Poverty of affected people due to landlessness and/or homelessness; Economic marginalization; Loss of Jobs; Higher incidence of mortality and morbidity; Food insecurity; Lack of access to common property and public services; and Disruption of the existing social organization and community networks.
The LAA only provides for compensation for land, structures and crops. The project executing agencies are not called upon to address key resettlement issues such as exploring alternative project options that avoid or minimize impacts on people, compensating those who do not have title to, but are currently using and dependent on land, or implementation of income restoration measures aimed at the social and economic rehabilitation of APs.
The National Environment Act of 1980 also contains some provisions relevant to involuntary re-settlement of the affected people. The Minister has by gazette notification (No. 859/14 of 23.2.1995) determined the types of projects and undertakings for which Central Environmental Authority approval is required under the terms of Part IV (c) of the National Environment Act. The schedule includes item 12, which refers to “…involuntary resettlement exceeding 100 families, other than resettlement resulting from emergency situations”. However, there are no provisions included in the Act which adequately address the key resettlement issues identified above.
To ensure a fair and equitable treatment to the APs and to particularly ensure that people are not impoverished or suffer unduly as a result of implementation of public or private project it was considered necessary for Sri Lanka to adopt a national policy to protect the rights and interests of all people affected by development projects. Thus, in 2001 the Government adopted the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) that was prepared with assistance from ADB.
The key objectives of the NIRP are:

Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------ Avoid or mitigate negative impacts of involuntary resettlement by facilitating the resettlement of the affected people on a productive and self sustaining basis; Ensure prompt compensation and proper resettlement; The livelihoods of all persons should be re-established and their standard of living improved; No people could be adversely affected as a consequence of compulsory land acquisition for development purposes by the state; Assist APs in dealing with the psychological, cultural, social and other stresses that could be caused by acquisitions of their lands by the state; Create awareness among all APs of the processes available for the redress of grievances that are easily arisen and immediately responsive; and Set in motion a consultative, transparent and accountable involuntary resettlement process with a time frame agreed to by the project executing agency and APs.
According to NIRP a comprehensive resettlement action plan needs to be prepared where twenty or more families are affected by an acquisition. In cases where less than twenty families are affected the NIRP still requires a plan but states that this can be prepared to a lesser level of detail. The NIRP applies to all projects irrespective of the source of funding.
The overall institutional responsibility for implementing the NIRP falls on Ministry of Lands (MOL), and it has established a Resettlement Division to coordinate implementation. A number of technical guidelines are in place to assist the MOL and project executing agencies in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating all involuntary resettlement consequences.
Copies of the four sets of guidelines are available from MOL. Sinhalese and Tamil translations of the documents are currently being prepared. Over 130 personnel from the government, NGOs, universities, district and divisional administrations, and local authorities have been trained in involuntary resettlement with the support from ADB.
4.1.4 Other Laws and Regulations
The Sri Lankan government has enacted several laws to ensure fair and equitable decisions are taken on various issues related to the people of the country. The key laws in this regard are mentioned below:
Act for labor conflict resolution- Act number 43 of 1950 Industrial Regulation Act of Sri Lanka The Employee Compensation Act Act of Labor Unions

4.2. Social Safeguards Relating to Project
The World Bank Operational Manual contains the environmental and resettlement related regulations and guidelines. For the purpose of this report references have been made to Project Related Operational Policies. The applicable safeguard policies of the Bank are described in the section below based on the field investigations, consultations and surveys undertaken.
Operational Policy 4.01 - The Environmental Assessment
In addition to national laws and regulations, the IEE study should comply with World Bank Operational Policy (World Bank OP 4.01) which is the policy of the International Donor Agency (IDA) of this project. World Bank OP 4.01 requires Environmental Assessment (EA) of projects proposed for World Bank financing to help to ensure that these projects are environmentally sound and sustainable. Considering the work involved and resultant environmental repercussions in road resurfacing and upgrading and/or provision of drainage in non-sensitive environments, this project can be treated as Category B.
World Bank OP 4.01 specifies that for a project in Category B proposed for financing under an IDA credit, the developer must consult project affected groups and local non governmental organizations (NGOs) about the project‟s environment aspects and take their views into account in the design and implementation. In addition the RDA and contractor are expected to consult the stakeholders throughout project implementation, as necessary, to address EMP related issues that affect them. The OP 4.01 also highlights the importance of analyzing alternative designs, technologies and operational strategies systematically in terms of their potential environmental impacts in order to select the most environmentally friendly and economically viable option.
43
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------The design of road specifications and works and subsequent operations of the project must be in compliance with environmental safeguard as specified in the EA and EMP. The EAs and EMPs will be available for public review and comment in appropriate locations in Sri Lanka and in International Donor Agencies (IDA‟s), and the public Information Center, in accordance with BP 17.50 requirements of disclosure. Detailed EAs for individual projects will need to be carried out by the implementing agencies and will be monitored and cleared by the designated PAA, as applicable under prevailing national environmental legislation in Sri Lanka and by IDA prior to the approval of disbursement.
Operational Policy-4.04 –Natural Habitat
This Policy (OP 4.04) deals with the conservation of natural habitats. Similar to OP 4.01 the requirements of the OP 4.04 have been addressed in the EA and EMP prepared for the project.
Operational Policy-4.10-Indigenous People
Definition of Indigenous People: The proposed project will use the World Bank‟s guidelines to identify Indigenous People (IPs) in particular geographic areas by examining the following characteristics: . Close attachment to ancestral territories and natural resources therein; . Self-identification by the IPs themselves and identification by others as members of distinct cultural groups; . Use of an indigenous language different from the predominant language (even if they use other languages in dealing with the non-indigenous people); . Presence of customary social and political institutions; and . Ppresence of a primarily subsistence production system. In fostering full respect for their dignity, human rights and cultural uniqueness, a Bank- financed project has to ensure that indigenous people do not suffer adverse impacts in the development process, and that they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits. The Bank policy (OP 4.10 on Indigenous People) requires that the sub-projects be carefully screened to identify whether there are indigenous people living in the project areas, and that informed participation of the IPs themselves must be undertaken to identify local concerns and preferences through direct consultations with the IPs and incorporation of indigenous knowledge into project planning approaches. This policy contributes to the Bank‟s mission of poverty reduction and sustainable development by ensuring that the development process fully respects the dignity, human rights, economies, and cultures of Indigenous People. For all projects that are proposed for Bank financing and affect Indigenous people, the Bank requires the borrower to engage in a process of free, prior, and informed consultation. The Bank provides project financing only where free, prior, and informed consultation results
44
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------in broad community support to the project by the affected Indigenous People. Such Bank- financed projects include measures to (a) avoid potentially adverse effects on the Indigenous communities; or (b) when avoidance is not feasible, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for such effects. Bank-financed projects are also designed to ensure that the Indigenous Peoples receive social and economic benefits that are culturally appropriate and gender and inter- generation included. As proposed in the project, the roads require only rehabilitation, paving and some widening (but within the RoW) and the consultations held under the Social Impact Assessment did not identify any indigenous people as defined by OP 4.10 in the project area. Hence this Policy is not triggered. However, during implementation, should any such group get identified the Project will prepare an Indigenous Peoples’ Development Plan (IPDP) in conformity with OP 4.10, get it cleared by the IDA and implement it
Operational Policy 4.11 - Management of Cultural Property
The physical cultural resources, defined as movable or immovable objects, sites, structures, groups of structures, and natural features and landscapes that have archaeological, pale-ontological, historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or other cultural significance are dealt with under this policy. Physical cultural resources may be located in urban or rural areas, and may be above or below ground, or under water. Their cultural importance may be at the local, provincial or national level, or within the international community. The project will not create negative impacts on any cultural property similar to OP 4.11.
When development projects are funded by the Bank, assistance is provided to the countries to mitigate negative impacts on their physical and cultural resources. The impacts on physical cultural resources resulting from project activities, including mitigating measures, may not contravene either the borrowers‟ national legislation, or their obligations under relevant international environmental treaties and agreements. The following project financing policies are followed by the Bank:
The Bank finances only those projects that are cited and designed so as to prevent significant damages to non-replicable cultural property. This policy pertains to any project where the Bank is involved, irrespective of whether the Bank itself is financing the part of the project that may affect cultural property. Deviation from this policy may be justified only where expected project benefits are great, and the loss of or damage to cultural property is judged by competent authorities to be unavoidable, minor, or otherwise acceptable. The Bank also requires a discussion with specific details for their justification through acceptable documentary evidence.
The Social survey did not identify any cultural property in the project site, however, should any such site get identified in future, the Project will do the following:
45
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------Whenever chance finds are made during the construction of the road, the responsible persons of the site staff will immediately inform the project execution agency which will, in turn, in form the government department concerned with cultural property to take suitable protective measures.
Operational Policy 4.12- Involuntary Resettlement
The issues and concerns related to land acquisition (It has been found that small portions (2550m2) of lands are to be required to purchase or acquired for this road construction at some places). If any acquisition is carried out it will follow normal acquisition procedure without following the section 38A Proviso, which is the emergency procedure of the LAA. The total extent is to be acquired, their compensation for all categories of affecters and affected assets, relocation, resettlement, loss of livelihood, access and related issues are dealt with under this policy.
If involuntary resettlement is not properly addressed it results in severe economic, social and environmental problems. The people will face impoverishment when their productive sources are lost. If people are relocated to such environment where productive skills are not properly utilized, the competition for resources will be increased; the community institutions and local networks will be weakened.
In case of unavoidable resettlement, these activities should be planned and executed as a sustainable development program. Displaced persons should be properly consulted and adequate opportunities should be afforded to them to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programms.
The Bank policy covers direct economic and social impacts that result from Bank assisted investment projects by the involuntary resettlement. The following are the main objectives of policies of the Bank:
o Involuntary resettlement should be avoided up to the possible limit or minimized by exploring other viable alternatives; o Where it is not feasible to avoid, resettlement, such activities should be planned and executed as sustainable development program, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits; o Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least be restored to the extent of pre-displacement levels.
Displaced persons may be classified into: i). Those with formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the law of the country). ii). Those who do
46
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets provided that such claims are recognized under the law or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan. iii) Those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. This policy has been triggered and there will be land acquisition along the other negative impacts. Resettlement Plan is being prepared as social mitigation measures for those effects. The prescribed responses to adverse impacts are presented in the form of an Entitlement Matrix which is a part of the Resettlement Plan.
Operational Policy 17.50 - Disclosure of Operational Information
“The Bank reaffirms its recognition and endorsement to the fundamental importance of transparency and accountability of the development process. Accordingly, it is the Bank‟s policy to be open about its activities and to welcome and seek out opportunities to explain its work to the widest possible audience”.1 Therefore, all Bank funded documents are to be widely disseminated and accessible to all affectees and stakeholders. This Policy is triggered: Thus in accordance with the Disclosure Policy of the World Bank, the Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) and Resettlement Plan (RP) will be displayed at the info shop and the Project sites, viz., Project Offices and Public Libraries. The Executive Summary translated into local languages (both Tamil and Sinhala) will also be disclosed at the Project site where it will be accessible to project affected people. The Initial environmental and social Assessments will be disclosed to all types of stakeholders, especially to the project relevant public. The information in this report too will be disclosed to them in the project sites and in other appropriate locations such as Grama Niladharies’ offices in the local area. The executive summary of the RP will be translated into the local languages and disseminated to all affectees and communities. The regional offices of the RDA will be used to disseminate the RP. In addition the web site of RDA will be used for wider dissemination of the RP. Regular formal and informal meetings will be held with APs, Divisional Secretaries, Grama Niladari and other regular agencies to disclose information.
Types of impacts expected;
Basic compensation policy and entitlements; Consultation and participation of APs and community: Implementation schedule; and Who to contact for additional information.
Further the plan and overall implementation schedule will be displayed in Community and Project Offices regularly.

SOCIAL IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT
5.1.0. Introduction
Any development project would generate many positive impacts as well as negative impacts particularly for the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) both in the short-term and the long-term. Therefore, it has become an important requirement to examine about the potential issues of the proposed Ambepussa- Dambulla and Kanthale – Trincomalee road rehabilitation project.
The severity and magnitude of these issues would be controlled mainly by the geographical background, contemporary demographic factors and socio- economic background of the Project Affected Persons.
The affected persons (PAPs) of the project are 1099. They belong to 407 families and were interviewed in the household survey during the field studies. The details of affected structures and affected persons are given in the table 5.1. Names of the project affected persons/ properties, assets, magnitude of the impacts and livelihood in this road sections are given in Annex 06A, 06B and 07.
Profile of the project affected persons (such as gender composition, age distribution, ethnicity, education levels, income categories and occupations) is provided in Annex 04.
5.2.0. Potential social issues of the Project area
When analyzing the collected data of the PAPs of the proposed project, complex social issues can be envisaged. However, these, potential social issues of the proposed project can broadly be categorized into two as positive and negative impacts.
During the field investigation conducted for the Social survey, the consultant and the field investigators have conducted small group discussions and individual consultations with different stakeholders of the project. These discussions and observations have revealed that there are more positive impacts than negative impacts.
48
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------As identified during the field investigation, all beneficiaries are looking forward to several positive impacts after implementation of this project.
* Effect on business centers, lands, extended parts of buildings and access to business places, parts of housing structures and extended sections, disturbance to house access, demolition of parapet walls, gates and fences ,utility services and trees.
* Vulnerability and Gender issues (relevant information are given in Annex 08).
Impacted properties
Impacted properties are defined in this report, particularly in this chapter, as any property that is owned by the government, a community, private or encroachers/squatters, such as piece of land, infrastructure facilities, utilities, access, part of house or business place, trees and any other natural or man made features that would alter, rearrange of demolish to get required width for the proposed road sections to construct side drains, culvert, bridges, side wall, retaining wall or any other thing that would be used in the rehabilitation work of the proposed project.
As shown in the table 5.1 affected properties are divided into nine categories according to the name and the nature of property. Names of the project affected persons/ properties, assets, magnitude of the impacts and livelihood of the APs in this road sections are given in Annex 06A, 06B and 07.
Presently, only about 1099 PAPs have been affected and they belong to 407 households. Most affected private property types are front walls of business places and second are front walls of houses. If the project needs to demolish these structures project will pay replacement cost without depreciation and salvage value at the current market prices.
49
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------5.2.1. Positive Impacts

There are several temporary privately owned sales outlets such as movable lottery stalls, vegetable stalls and fish stalls (Annex 05- Plate2 and 3). Green gram sellers and other small sales outlets are also available along the road as well as in some junctions. Details are given in Annex 07. Most of them are made of wood. Those stalls will have to be shifted for 2-3 days to alternative locations, when the road is asphalted at these locations.
The project and RDA will take action to assist them to shift the stalls to enable them to continue their business and they will be reinstated at the same locations once the asphalt works are completed in 2-3 days. In addition to these, “Three Wheeler parking Stands” have been found in several junctions. Those parking stands will be affected during asphalt lying period (maximum 2-3 days).
The project authorities and RDA will assist them to shift the three-wheeler parking stands temporarily to the nearest alternative places from the original locations to enable them to continue their business.
52

Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------Chapter 6
Stakeholders Consultation
Stakeholders are defined as individuals or agencies that are either affected by and /or can affect the project. The RSAP II has direct and indirect stakeholders at national, district, divisional, project and village levels representing different geographical areas as well as different management systems.
In this chapter, an attempt is being made to analyze and assess the stakeholders‟ views and perceptions gathered through field consultations, focus group discussions and meeting with key informants.
6.0. Direct and indirect stakeholders at different hierarchical levels
The most significant stakeholder is the Project Affected Person who is negatively/positively affected by the Project. The most significant and direct beneficiary groups at the local level include all kinds of road users. The groups that frequently benefit from the roads are school children, school teachers, drivers, farmers, traders and all other types of road users. The regional economies as well as household economies will get positively influenced due to improved road net work. The most significant direct affectees are the persons losing land/assets/livelihood etc.
At the national level the major direct stakeholder is the Ministry of Highways and Road Development Authority. This organization is responsible for improving the road network of the country.
District level officers attached to RDA are middle level direct stakeholders because complaints about the problems of dilapidated road systems are frequently brought up by the communities and other politicians with the RDA officers attached at district level organizations.
National Government Agencies and other organizations such as Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), Sri Lanka Telecom & Water Supply & Drainage board are also stakeholders. This is equally applicable to the public and private transport providers. (The government - CTB & private bus owners).
In the process of consultation special attention was paid to consult women, youths, ethnic groups and other vulnerable groups.
The most significant indirect beneficiaries of the project are politicians of different levels. The politicians - local, provincial and national levels – such as ministers,
56
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------members of parliament, and members of provincial councils can obtain their popularity and peoples‟ support with the successful implementation of the road net- work. The civil society/NGOs/academia is also included in the indirect group of stakeholders.
The contractors, material suppliers can benefit from the construction work. The local communities can also benefit because of employment generated in their local areas in the construction sites.
6.1. Stakeholders Covered in the social survey 2010 – RSAP II
The views of the following stakeholders were analyzed.
Direct stakeholder -- All PAP families
Direct beneficiary groups -- Road users, drivers, farmers, traders ,school children, school teachers etc.
Indirect beneficiary groups -- politicians, civil society, NGOs etc..

Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------6.4. Overall Negative Impacts Identified
During the construction period there will be several negative impacts. These include: Disturbances to transportation system on the road network for a short period till the construction is over. Traffic congestion and other related issues. Business activities will get disturbed during the construction period There will be inconveniences due to dust, noise, heavy vehicle movements etc. Demolition of structures will create safety hazards for the owners of affected assets during construction period There may be safety issues at the road construction sites. After completion of the roads, the rate of accidents will be increased Health and social issues will be created by migrant workers in road construction areas. Private lands will be purchased or acquired by the RDA Considerable construction related disputes among workers and villagers Dust and pollution during the construction period Shops and other livelihood routines of the people residing close to the road will be disturbed
6.5. Views of Stakeholders
A brief questionnaire was administered to obtain views and opinions regarding the project. A sample of questionnaire is given in Annex 02. In addition to one to one interviews based on the questionnaire eight group meetings/consultations were held at roadside during the field studies to obtain detailed views of different road users. The dates and locations of those meetings are given below: Details of persons consulted during the meetings and field studies of the road sections are provided in Annex 09. Meeting Location Date

59
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------Most of these respondents had knowledge about the project such as width of the new road etc. However, it is found that the views expressed by them on project benefits were based on their personal views.
The field data collectors of the study team consulted various stakeholders under different stakeholder categories in order to obtain their views on the road development project. The comments are presented in the following Table 6.2.
Table 6.2 Views of Stakeholders Stakeholders Statements made by stakeholders ( Negative & Positive) Project Affected Persons Expect reasonable compensation payments for all affected properties such as lands, structures, trees etc. We expect that local economy will improve and new job opportunities will be created. Property values will go up in the area and business and economic activities will be improved. Interruption to routine life may occur due to demolition of structures. During construction period there can be disturbances due to traffic congestion, dust, noise and vibration. The authorities need to take precautions to minimize disturbances to our day today activities and livelihoods
Management of road and transport system.
RDA Engineers Land acquisition will be a significant issue. The RDA will face lot of difficulties to settle social issues during construction period especially in town areas. The officers of the RDA will be busy with the project implementation activities. After completion of the road the transport system will be improved.

Private Bus Owners This project is good, as it will improve condition of the road. Currently we face lot of difficulties to drive our buses due to bad condition of roads. Currently our maintenance cost is very high. Improved roads will help us to reduce fuel and maintenance costs. It is a good opportunity for us. We can save money. We will be able to provide a good service to the people after completion of works. We will run our buses on time to the destinations. There is a tendency for accidents to increase due to fast driving after the road improvements.
Road users and general public.
Employees We welcome the project. Now a days traveling on this road is a real headache. We cannot go to our office on time. But after the improvement of the roads there will be speedy driving leading to more accidents. There must be close supervision of contractor’s work to ensure good quality work. Existing drainage system should be improved.
I face a lot of difficulties to drive my car due to poor road condition. I cannot attend my office on time. Once the road is improved we can avoid such difficulties.
Road development is necessary. Many women in this area use bicycles as the mode of transportation. Their safety should be ensured.
Road development will encourage teachers and students to attend their schools regularly.
I have difficulties in riding my bicycle along the road due to a lack of space and there are possibilities for accidents. Road development will be beneficial for the women who are engaged in self employment as it will enable them to transport their produce to the town from the rural areas.
We thank the government. We have a lot of problems to reach schools School children , on time. The buses and school vans also can not travel on time especially on rainy days. We also cannot walk along the road due to poor drainage system. But after improvement of the road, we will be able to come to school on time. But there may be lot of accidents due to fast driving. There should be speed limits, especially near the

During the construction period we may have to face number of problems due to dust, noise, traffic congestions and demolition of structures along the road.
People face inconveniences in taking patients to nearby hospitals and Doctors medical centers, due to bad condition of roads. In emergency situations, doctors and health workers cannot reach the hospitals. Ambulances can not take patients immediately to the hospitals. These issues will be solved by this road development project.
But during the construction period the project authorities need to take measures to minimize health hazards caused by dust, waste and debris.
Currently vehicle maintenance cost is very high due to poor road Three wheelers Drivers conditions. & Other vehicles Drivers We cannot take our passengers to the destinations on time. The road construction activities should be completed within the scheduled time. There may be traffic congestions, accidents and delays during the construction periods. The project authorities need to take measures to minimize disturbances to our livelihood. After completion of the road we will be better off. Maintenance cost and fuel cost will be reduced.
Farmers We face lot inconvenience to transport our produce to the market. Transport cost is high due to the poor condition of the road. The improved road will help us to transport our goods to the market at a lower cost.
Transportation of our farm products will be affected during construction period.

Business community and income generation groups.
Shop owner The road sections near the junctions be inundated during the rainy seasons. The road is busy and used by heavy vehicles. This damages the road.
Traffic congestion prevails in the morning and evening. Also vehicle users find difficulty in using the road. Road widening is required. The project will increase opportunities for tourism development which in turn will have a positive impact on local businesses. Tourist and devotees use this road to visit ancient religious places in this area.
It is good if the road is developed. This type of development project Fish Sellers will improve the businesses in the area. The project will facilitate the efficient transportation of fish from out side areas to this town.
I have the fear that my business will be affected temporarily during the construction period.
Road construction activities will disturb the business activities. The Pavement vendors road construction activities should be done by minimizing disturbances to our business.
There may be some obstructions ( concrete steps, access) at the structures of business centers. But it will not be a significant issue once the temporary accesses are provided. The project needs to complete the road construction as soon as possible. Religious leaders. During construction period there may be a lot of disturbances at the religious places.
Specially by creating dust, noise and vibrations. Access roads will be blocked due to road construction activities. To overcome and minimize these disturbances precautions should be taken.
The religious groups must be given proper access to the religious centers for their day to day activities. Local Politicians Provincial council members Construction activities will create lot of disturbances to the people in the project area. It is important to take actions to minimize such Pradeshiya Sabha members difficulties. The proposed road development activity will develop the area. The Government can make the people happy. Politicians can bring lot of investors to the area once the road is improved. Politicians can win the support of the people and can improve their popularity among the people in these areas.

6.6 Remedial measures / Strategies to mitigate the negative impact
Some negative impacts are unavoidable in any of the development interventions and it is therefore vital to understand the situation and take possible measures to minimize such negative impacts. Some measures could be adapted are presented below based on responses of various stakeholders during the Social Survey 2010.
Necessity to provide properly organized drainage systems for the removal of rain water during deluge. Implement some mechanism to reduce dust and noise due to heavy vehicle movement Necessity of proper implementation of traffic rules and regulations to prevent road accidents. Provisions of temporary spaces for the owners of three-wheelers and other small shop outlets to continue their livelihood without interruptions. Make arrangements to keep smooth flow of traffic without unnecessary delays due to road closures. Try to prevent the environment destruction and pollution minimizing the removal of trees by the road.
64
Social Assessment Report for Road Sector Assistance Project II August 2010 ------ Attempt to undertake part of the road construction work during night or on holidays in order to prevent/minimize disturbances to road users. Adhering to safety measures to prevent any health hazards or safety hazards due to demolition of structures/buildings.
6.7 Consultation Strategies
Stakeholders‟ participation is very vital throughout the project cycle. The project should maintain all records of all stakeholders consultations through a responsible officer attached to the project.
Pre - construction, Construction and Implementation levels of the project are the most suitable stages of stakeholder participation.

Annex 08 – Vulnerability & Gender
a. Vulnerability - The study focused on vulnerability of the groups such as disability, war injuries, old age, widows (women headed families etc.).
The study team has found four (04) war casualties in the proposed project area. Seven disable persons have been reported in the affected population. There are 23 old persons (age more than 67) among the affected population and 19 women headed families were found. The details of the above are given in the table 1.

Source- Social Survey for RAP, 2010
There is a considerable number (21) of affected female headed families in the proposed project area (Table 2). Extra attention should be made to ensure the livelihood of these families during and after completion of the project.

Source – Social Survey for RAP – 2010
Female headed families are the most suffering group among these vulnerable groups. The main income of all such families is conducting small scale business such as selling food items. d. Gender - Many sociologists have identified, Sri Lankan societies comprised of male – headed or father – based families. The proposed project area of Ambepussa - Dambulla falls into rural, economically backward geographical region. Therefore women have to participate in economic activities and other social and personal matters.
The proposed road rehabilitation project of Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kanthale - Trincomalee would be a great step to solve the gender related problems in the project area particular to rural and economically backward project affected people of these road sections.

Government of Sri Lanka Roads Sector Assistance Project II
Terms of Reference for Preparation of Social Impact Assessment
1. Introduction
The Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) has requested financing from the World Bank to assist them to rehabilitate, improve and maintain the national roads network with an objective to achieve improved and sustainable road transport by enhancing the durability, efficiency and economic impact of the national road network. The proposed projects will only focus on rehabilitation1, improvement2 and maintenance3 of national roads selected through a strategic study, in order to facilitate economic activity in the areas served and provides users with better road safety conditions. The Road Sectors Assistance project- II will address rehabilitation of A and B class national roads traversing across Eastern, North Central, North Western Central and Western provinces. The executing agency will be Ministry of Highways and Road Development whilst the implementation will be carried out by the Road Development Authority (RDA). The proposed road sections Nochchiyagma-Anuradhapura-Trincomalee, Kanthale- Trincomalee, Ambepussa-Habarana and Kadawatha-Nittambuwa of 300 km have been prioritized based on the Road Sector Master Plan adopted by the RDA. It is expected that a conflict assessment will be carried out prior to confirmation. The project will build on the lessons learnt from the Road Sector Assistance project ( CR 4138 CE) closing in march 2011 and is expected to address the maintenance of national roads as well as road safety.
Projects and Programs financed with IDA resources need to comply with World Bank Operational Policies. Therefore, sub-contracts and components eligible for funding under this project will be required to satisfy the World Bank’s safeguard policies, in addition to conformity with social policies of the GoSL. The activities to be financed by the project do not have the potential to trigger significant negative social impacts. It is anticipated that environmental and social issues and impacts would be minimal for road rehabilitation and maintenance projects.
1 Rehabilitation: Bringing existing deteriorated roads to previous/original conditions. It will likely to involve improving drainage/slopes/embankments/other structures, strengthening pavements, complete resurfacing and recuperating civil works. All of the work is done on the existing platform or right of way and no additional land acquisition needed. 2 Improvements: Improving road specifications. Most of the work is done on the existing platform or right of way. Additional land acquisition may be needed. Activities include widening lanes and shoulders, adding extra lanes in steep inclines, improving curves and strengthening bridges. 3 Maintenance: Routine or periodic works to maintain the road in working conditions. All of the work is done on existing platform. It may include routine works, patching potholes, clearing drains, etc. and periodic works such as resurfacing, line marking and bridge maintenance. However, if there are improvements such as widening lanes and shoulders, adding extra lanes in steep inclines, etc. depending on the road locality, there may be possible impacts to the environment and people where the existing roads are running through or closer to forested areas, wetlands, settlements, business premises, etc. There may also be social impacts in terms of loss of land and other assets/infrastructure /livelihood located on the land, particularly if the ROW is insufficient to meet the design needs; impact on Indigenous Peoples; and vulnerable. In addition, all IDA funded interventions are required to conform with the “conflict filters” in order to help mitigate the reputational risks to the Bank, and to enhance development effectiveness by ensuring that opportunities for addressing the causes and consequences of the conflict are pursued to the maximum extent.
2. Description of the project components including the selected road list to be covered under this SIA. Also discuss the alternatives reviewed prior to selection of these roads and how these were selected ( consultation should be undertaken for the selection)
3. Potential Social Issues: The roads identified for the improvement is existing A and B class roads. The proposed construction activities involve widening to at least two lane operations with improvement of the surface, construction of side drains, widening or replacement of culverts and bridges, removal of the roadside structures and trees. The project does not envisage acquisition of land but to remain within the existing Row. The critical social impacts are the following: Conflict: Most of the project is emerging out of a long conflict and the Transparent distribution of benefits: ensure that benefits reach all groups in the communities Inclusion: This is another critical issue in this area and there is a feeling of exclusion by some groups. The SIA will make extra efforts to include every ethnic and religious groups including men, women and youth. Vulnerability: The SIA will focus on vulnerability of the groups from the point of view of social and economic vulnerability, and those as a result of physical causes (disability, war injuries, old age, orphans, widows etc.) Gender: Women and children are a major victim of all conflicts. The SIA will focus on this group along with men and bring out the implication of the interventions (both positively and negatively). In addition all information and data will be disaggregated by gender and ethnic and religious groups. Risks: The SIA will highlight the social risks anticipated in the implementation of the project.
From the perspective of compensation, the Report will focus on the following; Land: assess the quantity of land that will be required and the mode of acquisition. Voluntary donation cannot be used for land where the requirement is known at preparation stage. In addition the urgency/emergency clause will not be used in the absence of a situation or urgency/emergency. Encroachers/squatters: There may be encroachers /squatters owning property /livelihood on the roads. Any squatter or encroacher impacted by the project will be compensated for assets/infrastructure under the entitlement matrix. All non title holders are eligible to payment for assets/infrastructure and lively hood restoration. Only for payment of land a title will be required. Assets: There may be privately owned/community owned assets that may be impacted and will need to be compensated at replacement value, market price. Infrastructure; There may be infrastructure privately/community owned or owned by the government on the roads and will be compensated at replacement cost or replaced. Utilities: All utilities impacted will be removed and compensated Access: The project will not obstruct access to households/businesses etc. during construction. Alternate access will need to be provided and should be documented in the Report loss of livelihood : loss to business or loss of livelihood of vulnerable persons will be compensated/restored/ Any other impact not presently envisaged but identified during preparation of the Social Impact Assessment and compensated accordingly.
4. Methodology: The consultant will use a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods.
Qualitative analysis: Stakeholders Consultations will be undertaken with all the communities in the project area while being mindful that road widening and other construction activities might be undertaken in socially and politically sensitive areas, particularly with a record of conflict. The consultant will be particularly cognizant of the conflict situation and prepare robust consultation plan to include all sensitive issues, and groups focusing on the vulnerability of each group. The consultations will focus on ways to ensure that there is no favoritism in the distribution of benefits and transparency has been maintained in all aspects of the projects, and ensure that all consultations send this message out. All consultations must be inclusive of men, women and youth. In addition to the above, the qualitative aspects of the report the consultant will also undertake the following: i). Social Screening: identify in detail, possible social and political impacts (positive and negative) that may arise as a result of the different types of works; Based on the potential impacts identified above, undertake detailed and specific assessments of social impacts for the interventions and prepare derailed and practical social and political impact assessment. ii) Carry out specific consultation with likely affected communities and visit all identified roads to develop strip map and indicate all information on structures, utilities and land use that is likely to be affected within the project impact zone. (List of consultations with identification of groups consulted, date of consultation, issues discussed, etc. to be provided in the annex) iii) Scope out all social issues for which detailed impact assessment would be required and analyze major and minor social impact issues including - identification of congested areas, accident prone zones, loss of assets, livelihood, poverty, gender and health issues and estimate the economic and social impacts on people and land. iv) Establish the likely types of economic and social impact on people including on private land, traditional and customary rights, lease land, common property resources, religious sites, different usage of legal right of way (if and where applicable). v) Identify possible social risks to proposed mitigation measures. Stakeholder consultations will be used at all phases of the study beginning from selection of roads up to preparation of mitigation measures. Consultations will use group meetings, focus group discussions, information provided by key informants etc.
Quantitative analysis: The report will use secondary and primary data/information. The consultant will undertake: a) a socio economic sample survey of the project area. This will include information on socio economic indicators including but not limited to poverty levels, health education indicators along with facilities providing these services, information on income levels and sources of employment, types of hoses and types of families ( nuclear, extended etc), information on sources of drinking water, sanitation, etc. all information will be disaggregated by gender. b) census of all project affected persons and assets. This will include the following i. A census of all affected persons (provide names and ID in the annex) ii. An income and asset survey for all assets/ infrastructure /income impacted both of individuals and community owned (details in the annex with photographs for loss of assets) iii. An engineering estimate of the asset/infrastructure lost iv. An estimate of all utilities to be impacted. v. A cost estimate of all losses (at replacement cost and market prices)
Cutoff date: A cutoff date will be announced by the consultant. This is the date the SIA is initiated. Any person moving into the areas subsequent to the announcement of the date will not be an eligible affectee.
5. Outcome: A social impact assessment report with i) social analysis of impacts and risks along with ii) detailed report laying the magnitude of social impacts ( i.e. number of affected persons, assets infrastructure livelihood etc, of loss of as provided in the methodology) and iii) social mitigation measures.
The SIA Report will thus cover the following broad areas:
1. Executive Summary
2. Background of the geographic area and justification for the Project bringing in the economic perspective as well as bringing out inclusion of all groups particularly those affected by conflict. Description of overall economy of Sri Lanka, socioeconomic indictors, trade, poverty indicators, composition of its people, any indigenous groups etc. Description of the potential project with components. Description of the methodology used for the Report.
3. Baseline information of the project area.
4. A conflict analysis: This needs to provide an analysis of the conflict and its implication for the project. It should also recommend ways to enhance development effectiveness by ensuring that opportunities for addressing the causes and consequences of the conflict are pursued to the maximum extent possible by the project. The SIA will make major sustained efforts to identify the underlying sources, undertaken extensive consultations with all groups individually and collectively where possible, and formulate recommendations including recommendations to strengthen inter- ethnic reconciliations that the project can implement,
5. A gender analysis: The gender analysis will provide the status of gender focusing particularly on women, their roles in society and the economy; participation in the labor force and employment status, sectors where they are most visible in the economy, along with opportunities and constraints they face. Lay out the number and percentage of female beneficiaries of the project (a beneficiary in the broadest term is a person benefiting from the project -- from improved service delivery, user of improved road, participant in the training program etc.)
6. A legal framework: This should provide the laws and regulation of Sri Lanka that the project will use along with the Social Safeguards Policies of the Bank along with an assessment of the social operational policies that will be triggered by the project along with suggested mitigation measures to respond to these Operational Policies.
7. A detailed analysis of key social impacts particularly the positive and negative impacts along with severity and magnitude of impacts (refer to potential social issues detailed above). The social issues will also focus on conflict and social risks with explicit linkages between identified social issues and elements of the project design.
8. Stakeholders Consultation: Analysis and assessment of consultations held with issues identified by different groups of stakeholders and its incorporation in the design. This may include among other, round table consultations, field consultations, Focus group discussion, meeting with key informants, etc. The stakeholders identified and covered will be both primary and secondary stakeholders including project beneficiaries in the communities; Project affectees i.e. anyone adversely impacted; Civil Society Organizations, Institutional stakeholders; relevant government ministries, departments, agencies, and other donors. Gender must be represented and documented.
9. Develop social mitigation plans ( RP/ARP) as required : this will be a stand- alone document taking the information from the SIA and have the following chapters:
a. Background of the project b. The project components. How was the project roads selected? Provide justification for the alternatives reviewed and the present components selected. Consultations will need to be undertaken to reflect the choice of all groups in the selection of the roads and also ensure that it meets the requirements of the communities.

OFFICE OF THE TEAM LEADER AND ENGINEER, ROAD SECTOR ASSISTANCE PROJECT INTERNAL MEMORANDUM
Reference No.: Date: To: All Contractors
Subject: Deduction from IPC due to Poor Safety Arrangements
You are aware that the road safety of the Contract Packages had been criticized by the steering committee on ------at the Ministry of Highways and PMU requested by the letter ------. And also, unfortunately, two fatal accidents have been occurred in the ------.
Under this situation, we are in a position to emphasize not to happen any accidents at work sites by arranging satisfied safety measures. All the Contractors obliged to arrange proper safety measures according to the Environmental Management Action Plan annexed to the Contract Agreement. PMU requested to take maximum effort to prevent any accidents in our Contract Packages. After discussing with the PMU, a new system to be deducted from the IPC has been decided as follows.
Deduction amount Level of poor safety arrangements (Rs.) Rs. 50,000/= At high risk sites/places. Rs. 30,000/= At medium risk sites/places Rs. 20,000/= At low risk sites/places
Above deductions will be double at the second time and treble at the third time of the offences.
The level of the risk will be decided by the Team Leader/Resident Engineer. If there is any unclear thing in this system, the final decision will be taken by the Team Leader where it is necessary.
This new system will be effective from ------.
Please remember that if the safety arrangements are not sufficient, the Contractor should not be allowed to do any works.
