INTRODUCTION A. Background 1. The Government of Pakistan (GoP) has emphasized to upgrade and rehabilitate its north- south road network for improved regional connectivity through CAREC transport corridor 5 & 6. Therefore, GoP through Executing Agency “The National Highway Authority (NHA) Pakistan” has agreed to implement CAREC Corridor Development Investment Program (CAREC-CDIP) with financial assistance from ADB through a Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF). 2. The PPTA Consultants, engaged by Fig. I: Dara Adamkhel-Peshawar Section ADB in 2016, assisted of Tranche-1 Project, Location Map Government of Pakistan (GOP) to design, prepare and process CAREC MFF and Tranche-01 Project in 2017. Under PPTA, different road sections of N-55 to be upgraded as 4 lane dual carriageway by implementing three different tranche projects under the MFF were selected and feasibility study, preliminary design, technical, financial and safeguards due diligence of the candidate road sections included in Tranche-01 Project was completed. Dara Adamkhel - Peshawar Section (34.45 km) (shown as Section 3 in attached map) is one of the three road section1 being rehabilitated and upgraded as Tranche-01 project through Loan 3574-Pak under the MFF. 3. Following detailed IR and IP impact screening and assessment survey based on preliminary design the PPTA consultants finalized a draft social due diligence report for the project road section to facilitate processing of the MFF and Tranche-01 project. The draft social due diligence report was subject to review and update based on detailed/final design. B. DDR Objectives and scope 4. Dara Adamkhel-Peshawar road Section (34.35 Km) of N-55 is a 4-lane dual carriageway which will be rehabilitated and improved under Tranche-01. Improvement works for project road section are designed to follow the existing carriageway alignment and pavement width without out tangible involuntary resettlement (IR) impacts. The land acquisition was not involved for this section of the road; however, a detailed social due diligence report was envisaged with the objectives including i) screening and assessment of IR/IP impacts from removal/clearance of encroached assets within carriageway ROW; ii) identification legal or legalizable third party land use rights (if any) in the ROW and affected asset owner encroachers or the squatters; and iii) ascertain resettlement planning documentation requirements. 5. Accordingly at the time of MFF and Tranche-01 processing this social due diligence report was prepared to explain the sub-project, project description & components; assessment of land acquisition, resettlement and social issues (if any); and suggest mitigations/social mitigation plan for potential/unanticipated social issues that may arise during the project implementation. Now, based on detailed design, the subject SDDR has been reviewed and updated by EALS, NHA that 1 Other Two road sections of Tranche-01 project are i) Pataro Sehwan (64-Km) and Ratodero-Shikarpur (43 Km). NHA EALS Page 2 Loan 3574-Pak PAK: CAREC MFF, Tranche-1 Project. Social DDR explains likely IR and IP impacts (if any) and confirms project implementation will be consistent with provisions outlined in the RF for the MFF and IR/IP safeguards policies as of ADB’s SPS 2009 and National Legal Framework. C. Methodology 6. Initially the assessment of the land acquisition, IR and social impacts for the project road section followed the preliminary design and a draft SDDR was finalized as one of the project processing documents. Later during design finalization, the methodology adopted for review and assessment of IR impacts included was, i) review of RF for the MFF and ADB’s IR policy requirements as of SPS 2009 and national legal framework for IR impact screening and assessment; ii) review and determination of available ROW limits as of land record and identification of COI for implementing the designed project works in different project road sections; iii) review of ROW/COI ownership status with legal and legalizable third party land use rights (if any); iv) identification and assessment of encroached assets subject to removal in any of the reaches along project road sections; (v) meaning full consultations with EA (NHA), design wing/ experts, land/ revenue officers, contractor/ consultants and local community. 7. Besides keeping close coordination with NHA’s design engineers, regional engineering and land staff and detailed design consultants, pre-structured questionnaires and checklist were used to gather information/data about ROW and COI limits, IR impact screening and assessment as well as consultations (individual

    + + + Refugees and IDPs in South Asia Editor Dr. Nishchal N. Pandey + + Published by Consortium of South Asian Think Tanks (COSATT) www.cosatt.org Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) www.kas.de First Published, November 2016 All rights reserved Printed at: Modern Printing Press Kathmandu, Nepal. Tel: 4253195, 4246452 Email: [email protected] + + Preface Consortium of South Asian Think-tanks (COSATT) brings to you another publication on a critical theme of the contemporary world with special focus on South Asia. Both the issues of refugees and migration has hit the headlines the world-over this past year and it is likely that nation states in the foreseeable future will keep facing the impact of mass movement of people fleeing persecution or war across international borders. COSATT is a network of some of the prominent think-tanks of South Asia and each year we select topics that are of special significance for the countries of the region. In the previous years, we have delved in detail on themes such as terrorism, connectivity, deeper integration and the environment. In the year 2016, it was agreed by all COSATT member institutions that the issue of refugees and migration highlighting the interlinkages between individual and societal aspirations, reasons and background of the cause of migration and refugee generation and the role of state and non-state agencies involved would be studied and analyzed in depth. It hardly needs any elaboration that South Asia has been both the refugee generating and refugee hosting region for a long time. South Asian migrants have formed some of the most advanced and prosperous diasporas in the West.

  • Governance and Militancy in Pakistan's Kyber Agency
    December 2011 1 Governance and Militancy in Pakistan’s Khyber Agency Mehlaqa Samdani Introduction and Background In mid-October 2011, thousands of families were fleeing Khyber, one of the seven tribal agencies in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), to refugee camps or relatives living outside of FATA. Their flight was in response to the announcement by the Pakistani military that it was undertaking a fresh round of operations against militant groups operating in the area. Militants have been active in Khyber (and FATA more generally) for several years. Some have used the area as a safe haven, resting between their own military operations in Afghanistan or other parts of Pakistan. Others have competed locally for influence by providing justice or security services, by decrying the ruling elite’s failure to provide these and other services to the local population, or by using force against those people the militants consider threatening or un-Islamic. The Pakistani military’s actions against militants in Khyber have already driven most of these nonstate groups out of the more populated areas and into Khyber’s remote Tirah Valley. But beyond that, the government of Pakistan has failed to implement most of the legal and political changes required to reform Khyber’s dysfunctional governance system to meet the needs of its residents. Khyber Agency is home to some half-million people, all of whom are ethnic Pashtuns from four major tribal groupings: Afridi, Shinwari, Mullagori, and Shalmani. It is also home to the historic Khyber Pass (to Afghanistan’s Nangarhar Province). Khyber Agency covers an area of 2,576 square kilometers, with Mohmand Agency to the north, the district of Peshawar to the east, Orakzai Agency to the south, and Kurram Agency to the west.

THESIS COMMI'ITEE Murray Chapman Chairperson Brian Murton Robert Gardner 111 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is dedicated to the people of Afghanistan who have been forced to leave their country and seek refuge in the neighboring countries of Pakistan and Iran. Without the assistance of those Afghan refugees living in refugee tented villages in Pakistan, this research would not have been possible. I would like to thank all those persons interviewed during the study for the wealth of information which they provided, and for the heartfelt hospitality extended to me during my stay. A very special acknowledgment is made to Momtaz, not only for his contribution to the study as my translator, but also for his patience and understanding in most difficult conditions, and for teaching me more about the people and customs of Afghanistan. I also express my gratitude to the Government of Pakistan personnel at the various refugee villages visited during the study, for their assistance and hospitality. There are also countless members of the international aid community who are working with, and for, the Afghan refugee population in Pakistan, who provided me with data and advice.

  • Major Tectonic Scars of Peshawar Vale and Adjoining Areas And
    oining Areas, Magmatism R. A. KHAN TAHIRKHELI Abstract: The Vale of Peshawar, spread in about 1800 sq. lun area, constitutes an important tectonic zone in the northwestern margin of the Indo-Pakistan plate. It is surrounded by weUcarved mega-tectonic features, which originated during post collisional alpine orogenic episodes, starting from Late Cretaceous and lasting till Early Pleistocene. The main tectonic evolutionary history of the, Vale is syngenetic to these episodes, though some pre- alpine tectonic scars have also been distinguished.
