Involuntary Resettlement Due Diligence and Socioeconomic Assessment Report

1. Introduction

Background 1. The population of Sri Lanka is about 20 million and it spreads over nine provinces, covering a land area of 65,610 km2. Improvements to the road infrastructure and transport facilities have been identified as one of the priority development needs in the government development strategy (2015 to 2020). According to the information in RDA, Sri Lanka has the highest road density among countries in the South Asian Region. Improvements to National highways (A and B roads) and rehabilitation of provincial roads (C and D roads) have been given significant place in the development agenda of the previous and present governments, and as a result, a significant percentage of road networks have been improved. Improvements to the existing road network, including all categories of roads, is a felt need of the country to facilitate the distribution of economic and social wellbeing of the people in the 9 provinces. The policy makers and planners of the road sector have rightly understood the significance of connectivity impacts of the road network, and therefore, projects and programs are being implemented to improve the roads in all categories, from national to rural. The express ways constructed and proposed to construct will also add significant contribution in promoting the connectivity impacts of the road network improvement.

2. The Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) has requested financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the investment program, which is officially called as the 2nd Integrated Road Investment Program (iRoad II). This investment program is in line with the government’s sector objective, which is to “establish a modern transport system that will enable acceleration of economic growth”. (Project Road, 2nd Integrated Road Investment Program (iRoad II)

3. The project is to be executed as a Multi Tranche Financial Facility (MFF). Ministry of Highways will be the executing agency while the Road Development Authority (RDA) will be the implementing agency of the project. ‐

4. The project is being implemented in several provinces of the country, including the Western Province (WP).

5. The project mainly focuses on the rehabilitation of existing carriageway with some possible expansion to suit all weather conditions. The improvements will be done within the available Right of Way (ROW) of the candidate roads. Therefore, acquisition of private land and an evacuation of people (Involuntary Resettlement impacts –IR) are not expected. This report is on involuntary resettlement due diligence and socioeconomic assessment for 4 roads in Colombo and Gampaha districts of Western Province. The purpose of this report is to identify involuntary resettlement issues due to implementation of the intended rehabilitation activities of the 4 candidate roads including Galle Road (A002) from William Junction to Maliban Junction, Rathmalana Mirihana Road (B389), Kotte Bope Road (B240) From Malabe to Godagama, Peliyagoda Puttlam Road from Peliyagoda Roundabout to Nawaloka Roundabout & Dandugama to Kochchikade Bridge.

6. The report also intends to propose measures to mitigate involuntary resettlement related issues. Finally the report also aims at establishment of base line socio-economic

Involuntary Resettlement Due Diligence and Socioeconomic Assessment Report condition of communities in the road catchment including gender related aspects and views of the community members and other stakeholders on the proposed improvement work to the 4 candidate road sections. The report contains two (2) sections. Section one deals with involuntary resettlement and due diligence while section two discusses the socio-economic aspects of the communities related to the candidate roads. Gender related aspects and views of the community on the project based on consultations were also carried out during the study.

Description of the project on improvement, Rehabilitation and Maintenance of the 4 candidate roads in Colombo and Gampaha Districts in Western Province

7. The 4 national roads, selected under the 2nd integrated road investment program for the improvement and maintenance, spreads out in 7 Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSDs) of Colombo and Gampaha Districts in WP are shown below. (Figures I-1, 1.2 and 1.3).

11. The iRoad II envisages carrying out limited improvements such as improving road surface, sealing of road edges with properly established road shoulders and improving road drainage in critical sections. The project does not intend to expand the existing width of the roads. The IR impacts will be zero or minimal in this context (existing width of the ROW is range from 14500 – 20200 mm). The Figure 1-10 shows the starting and end points of the sections of the 4 candidate roads proposed for improvement.

2. Involuntary Resettlement and Due Diligence

12. In the introductory section to this report, the details of the roads that have been earmarked for improvement under iRoad II, Western Province have been discussed. As highlighted therein, 4 sections of candidate roads with 37.4 km length have been selected for improvements with some modernization, but the construction activities will be confined to the existing ROWs of the road. Nevertheless, the Socio-economic study team has found that there are some structures, temporary in nature, are erected on some locations adjacent to the road edges, and are used by local persons for their livelihood related activities. As stated in the introduction an involuntary resettlement (IR) due diligence needs to be completed within this road section to identify any IR impacts that would occur due to proposed road improvement works.

Methodology used to carry out the due diligence

13. During the field inspection, any road section that was observed to be narrow (such as sections between two parapet walls, two live fences or double cut) were measured to confirm the available width. As explained in the IR framework the available corridor for improvement is considered to be the space between fence to fence or road side drain to drain. Hence, any structure between the fence/ drain and the existing road edge was recorded. The road width existing between boundary road side drain to drain was considered as ROW to be improved under the project.

14. The consultants carried out following chronological activities as part of field verification for this due diligence on IR (Table II-1). The qualitative data was also collected from sample owners of the structures (42 persons representing 37.4 km length of 4 candidate roads) to document their views. (One on one interviews). These 42 persons interviewed under one on one qualitative information collection method are the persons operating business/livelihood related activities in the area near to the road boundary. They carry out their business activities in different types of structures, mostly temporary established. Any of these structures will not be affected due to the implementation of intended improvement activities of the road. Since they have been in the area near to the road boundary for long period of time they were considered for one on one interviews to obtain information on their views on the possible temporary difficulties such as dust, noise etc. of the road improvement work on the local communities.

Summary of field observations and verification

B1. Project affected structures 15. The consultants observed large number of structures located in the immediate vicinity of the road edges but, only 15 of them will have temporary negative impacts due to intended road improvement work (5 in A 002, 4 in A003, 2 in B 389 and 4 in B 240). As mentioned in the methodology section of this chapter, the consultants met all of the owners of these structures and made them aware of the intended work. All the owners are willing to cooperate and ready to shift their structures, if required during the construction phase. Most of these are temporary structures some are fixed to the ground and some are moveable Carts. All of them can be shifted or easily movable. All these structures are located within ROW.

16. Fifteen structures which are close to the existing road edges found in following locations and are discussed on 4 candidate roads separately below in detail.

1. Galle Road (A002) from William Junction to Maliban Junction 17. Most of the business places occupied in the Road (A 002) are mainly run by mobile vendors for their routine business activities. Other temporary, permanent or semi-permanent structures found are located little beyond the edge of the road reservation. Therefore, they will not be negatively affected during construction phase. They can continue their routine business activities as usual but, there can be some disturbances to the customers and the vendors of the business places due to dust, noise and vibration of the construction activities. The study team found 5 places occupied the road reservation for their business activities. These businessmen use to sell lotteries, vegetable, fruits and to repair shoes and umbrellas. Their business activities are confined to certain seasons and also, they close their business activities in every day evening. They are also not confined to the places observed by the study team as their structures are movable. They change their business places from time to time. The details of the 5 places occupied for mobile business activities are mentioned below.

18. All the business places occupied in the Road (A 003) are mainly run by mobile vendors for their routine business activities. Other temporary, permanent or semi-permanent structures found are located little beyond drainage canals of the road reservation. Therefore, they will not be negatively affected during construction phase. They can continue their routine business activities as usual but, there can be some disturbances to the customers and the vendors of the business places due to dust, noise and vibration of the construction activities. The study team found 4 places occupied the road reservation for their business activities. These businessmen use to sell fruits and other items such as curd, ornamental goods etc (the fruits mainly include king coconut, Rambutan and mage etc) and their business activities are confined to certain seasons and also, they close their business activities in every day evening. They are also not confined to the places observed by the study team. They change their business places from time to time. The details of the 4 places occupied for mobile business activities are mentioned below.

B2. Summary of IR Due diligence for road sections in Western Province

21. The proposed project will not create Involuntary Resettlement Impacts (IR impacts) such as acquisition of land, evacuation of householders or displacement of people from their livelihoods. Nevertheless, the study team found 15 livelihoods, business related structures are located close to the road edges and they may become constraints for attending required project implementation activities in front of such structures. Some of these structures can be shifted to other locations of the same side of the road. Others are places occupied by mobile vendors for selling routine timers such as fruits and vegetables. They are willing to move to other locations of the road reservation for same business during construction period. They can easily do it because they keep their business items for displays on small tables that can be lifted to anywhere, they want. During the time taken for this required shifting these informal business persons will be compelled to forgo their business activities and hence income possible during this period can be considered as the impact on livelihood. These impacts and mitigatory measures possible are discussed in detailed in the above section. The summary of this situation is presented below for further understanding.

B3. Mitigatory measures 22. The 15 project affected persons mentioned in Table II-2 agreed to shift their small business structures to provide flexibility to carry out intended road improvement work. Construction schedule in front of their structures will be informed to these 15 persons prior to commencement of construction work. The owners of all 15 affected structures are prepared to undergo suitable mitigatory measures proposed by the implementing agency and the contractor and they prefer to clear the area where they have presently occupied for their businesses to carrying out road improvement related activities. However, every business person is temporary affected by the project for shifting of their structures and it will cause some temporary livelihood impact which are understood and agreed by the occupants. These impacts will not be significant IR impact.

B4. Other observations of the survey team

23. The survey team observed several mobile venders involved in informal business activities without structures erected in the road reservation. Some other persons carrying out business in mobile structures are also observed within the ROW but far from the road edges. Their activities will not disturb the contractors to carry out intended road improvement activities under the iRoad II program in 4 candidate roads. Some of them are not involved in their business on regular basis.

24. The RDA should have methodical and intensive public awareness campaign to inform all these persons involved in some business activities within the road reservation. They all should be provided with information on the construction schedule on timely basis. Some of the following photos taken during survey period depict the correct situation of these vendors who will not have impacts due to proposed iRoad II project in 4 candidate roads.

25. The activities of the people mentioned above will not create disturbances or constraints for proposed road improvement project. The structures they used for livelihood activities are located more than 2 m away from the road edges and therefore, any of the persons will not have negative economic / livelihood impacts.

Other impacts observed and mitigation measures

26. Some negative impacts will be possible within the road sections running across the townships, such as Rathmalana, Dehiwala, Kaduwela, Homagama, Negambo. Even the rest of the sections in the road run across built up areas located adjacent to the boundary of ROW. Therefore, some impacts during construction are expected but these impacts will be confined to construction phase of the project. These temporary impacts are described below:

27. Temporary loss of access/disruption of traffic: Traffic will be a problem on all the road sections run within the townships. The issues related to traffic can be better managed through proper management of construction sites. The access to houses, institutes and businesses will be disturbed. This impact would be significant in town areas. In other areas, 30

Involuntary Resettlement Due Diligence and Socioeconomic Assessment Report temporary disturbances to access can be mitigated through creating alternative access routes. Steel plates can be provided for the businesses and householders to establish temporary path- ways to their premises during the construction phase (please see IR check list in Annex III).

28. Shifting of utility supply lines: There can be disturbances to the drinking water pipe lines, electricity distribution lines and telecommunication/telephone lines during construction phase. These impacts can be mitigated through proper collaboration with utility supply services, such as the National Water Supplies and Drainage Board, Ceylon Electricity Board and Sri Lanka Telecom.

29. Dust, noise and vibration: impacts will be felt by the people living near road sections during construction works. High vibration levels may damage structures close to the road edges. Damages to the business stores if occurred, will lead to economic losses during the period of repairing the damaged structures. These structures are mainly found in the road sections run across town ships. The Civil contracts should include appropriate measures to avoid/ manage the issues of dust, noise. Civil contracts should also include a 3rd party insurance to refurbishment of any damage of property caused by vibration during the constriction. It is also required to carry out a property condition survey within settlement areas close to the candidate roads (mainly within town ships) prior to commencement of the construction activities.

A. Methodology used to carry out socio-economic and the due diligence

30. Field verification was carried out covering 37.4 km length of 4 candidate roads, A002, A003, B 389 and B 240 in Colombo and Gampaha Districts in the Western Province to satisfy the requirement of socio-economic and due diligence. The site visits were carried during the period of June- July 2020. The Google online maps, topographic and land use maps were also used for the field investigations. A household questionnaire survey was conducted from households located through the GNDs which 4 candidate road sections run across. The sample selected for the household survey is 3240 selected from the GNDs relevant to the road corridors. These 3240 households were selected using random basis covering the 52 GNDs in the roads’ corridor. Seven Focus Group discussions (FGDs) and 42 One on one interviews were conducted to ascertain the public view on the project.

31. The sections of 4 candidate roads (37.4 km) runs through 7 Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSDs). However, as these roads are A and B class roads, where development could be observed along the road corridor, sample socioeconomic survey was carried out covering GNDs in road corridor. The names of DSDs through which the candidate roads run across and the number of households surveyed as sample are summarized in Table III-1.

37. About 24% of the total population in road relevant DSDs is less than 5 years and more than 55 years in their ages. Nearly 37% of the population can be categorized as parsons within schooling age (6 to 35). About 53% of the population falls under labor force (19 to 55). Even though the Department of Census and Statistics categorizes the labor force, including the population within age groups of 15 to 55, it is difficult to calculate the percentage of the persons within 15 to 18 of ages due to the limitations of tabulated data available in the resource profiles of project relevant DSDs (table III-4). The average labor force in the country is about 53.8% (Census and Statistic 2014/2015). The population in road relevant DSDs with age differences are shown in Table III-4.

43. Age distribution: Nearly 68% of population in sample population falls within the age limit of 15 to 59 years, which is the economically active population of a country. The dependent population (population between 0 14 years and above 60 years) within the project area is about 32% (15% of population with age 0-14 and 17% with more than 60). ‐ 44. This could be taken as a positive factor in the project as there may be people willing to work in civil works. The wage they earn will also be a saving as the dependency on such economically active person is low. The Table III-10 includes the age distribution of the sample household population.

Average household income

48. About 59% of the households interviewed draw monthly income Rs. 15,000 to Rs.50, 000. The percentage of households drawing more than Rs 100,000 monthly income is 10 % of the total households interviewed. About 4% of the households are reported as households drawing a monthly income less than Rs 5,000. Some of the households of the sample (about 135) that are earning less than Rs 5000 monthly income may have monthly expenditure as Rs 5000 or little more. It can be realistically assume that figures they mention as income may be under reported while the level of expenditure are over reported. These households may have irregular income generation activities. The Table III-14 includes the data on monthly income and expenditure of the households interviewed.

Analysis of vulnerable households and gender related details

53. Three indicators are used to categorize socially and economically vulnerable households in 7 DSDs. The majority of the households are categorized as vulnerable due to their household heads having more than 60 years of age. The percentage of households with old age heads range from 16% to 41 % among 7 DSDs. The families drawing less than Rs. 5000 monthly incomes are categorized as vulnerable families. The percentage of families having less than Rs.5000 monthly income indicated very low figures (3% to 9%). Percentage of households headed by female is also significant among sample surveyed (ranges from 9 t0 11%). Even 46

Involuntary resettlement due diligence and Socioeconomic Assessment Report though the percentage of households categorized as vulnerable using different indicators is little more than 50% of the sample HHs surveyed majority of them may not be economically vulnerable. It cannot be categorically mentioned that families with elderly members with age over 60 are vulnerable. These families may have good income sources and they can feed their dependents. Some of the female headed households may have good income sources. They may be socially vulnerable but, not economically critical. It is same with HHs with differently able members; some of such HHs also may not be economically vulnerable even though they have some issues due to differently able members. In average only about 4% of total sample HHs are reported as vulnerable due to low income. The details of the vulnerable families reported in the sample are included in Table III-20.

55. The opportunity for the female members getting involved in the project was also analysed as a gender perspective for the project. The number and percentage of households indicated their willingness and unwillingness to get involved in the proposed project activities were analysed. Only small percentage of households is willing to involve their female members in the project activities (7%). This is mainly because most of the females in households of the project area are heavily involved in domestic and other livelihood activities of the households.

C3. Community perception about the project

Community awareness about the project 57. Small percentage of householders was responded to this question, awareness of the proposed project. It was observed that most of the community leaders and grass root level officers, especially in GNDs and DSDs, are aware of the iRoad IIIproject but they are not fully aware of the proposals to improve these 4 particular roads under iRoad II project. This may be the reasons for majority of the householders to be neutral to this question. The responses given by the householders interviewed are mentioned in Table III-24.

D. Public Consultation

65. The consultants used several methods to make the stakeholders, especially the public, to be aware of the proposed iRoad II improvement project. Focus Group discussions were conducted with the exclusive purpose of stakeholder consultation and other methods, such as questionnaire surveys and one on one interviews, were employed for dual purposes, pubic consultation and collecting socio-economic data.

One on one Interview

66. The consultants held one on one interviews with large number of road users in the local area (42 persons). These 42 persons are mostly vendors residing close to the road. The FGDs held with officers mainly GNs in 7 DSDs provide supplementary information representing the views of the grass root level agency personnel in the project corridor. Further several questions were posed on 3240 sample HHs surveyed from the road corridor covering larger area of the road catchment. They also expressed their views on the proposed road improvement project and their views on the impacts and willingness to participate in road improvement activities. Therefore, the consultants were able to develop representative picture of the stakeholder views through multi-level method applied. Most of these informants responded in one on one interviews are the persons encroached road reservation for establishment of structures to carry out small business activities for their livelihood needs. The views expressed by this group with large number of persons are summarized below. The details notes on one on one interviews held are shown in Annex V :

Road name Summary of information Most of the building structures located close to the road are permanent business structures. Almost all of them are situated A002 from William behind the pavement and away from edge of the road. The owners Junction to Maliban have established their structures several years ago. Less numbers Junction of movable structures are on the pavement. The owners of these structures are willing to give support by shifting their structures along the road reservation. Large numbers of movable structures are much close to road’s edge. The owners have good understanding about construction of Rathmalana Mirihana the road and the possible disturbances. Their common request is Road(B389) to inform at least before the commencement of the construction work. Kotte Bope Road (B240) Mainly movable structures are available in this road. Most of them From Malabe to are Self-employees built centers for their livelihood activities. Godagama Some of them are not involved in business regularly. But, they are

55

Involuntary resettlement due diligence and Socioeconomic Assessment Report

Road name Summary of information not expecting negative impact on business activities because they can find alternative arrangements to continue their business. Less number of permanent business structures are found in this road. Many movable structures on both sides this road are Peliyagoda Puttlam observed. Some of permanent structures are too close to edge of Road From Peliyagoda road but no need to shift because there is adequate land belt for Roundabout to the road rehabilitation work to be carried out. The movable Nawaloka Roundabout structures close to road’s edges can be shifted before the & Dandugama to construction if they are informed. Most of the persons interviewed Kochchikade Bridge close to the road are willing to provide cooperation for this proposed road improvement project.

67. In addition to one on one interviews held with road users. Focus group discussions (FGDs) with key stakeholders were held during 20-July -2020 to 29-7-2020. The details of each FGD are shown in Table III-31.

68. The issues emerged from FGDs held in each road studied are mentioned below as summaries. Most of the issues emerged from the FGDs held in each road were relevant to the entire package as whole and therefore, summary relevant to the road package is presented in this section. Specific issues emerged at each FGD held and list of participants are shown in Annex VI

56

Involuntary resettlement due diligence and Socioeconomic Assessment Report

Summary of the issue discussed Present physical condition

 Road edge are damaged commonly (Specially B240,” Podi Athurugiriya junction” B389, and A003 several places)  There is no proper drainage system to drain out storm water. Same Gullies inlet level are higher than road level and not enough drainage width therefore, road shoulder is filled with water.  It is difficult to use the road in rainy season, flooding at the several section of area (A003, Ambalanmulla to Mukalangamuwa, Irigaha junction)  Some culverts are very old, and the capacity is not enough. Some culverts are completely blocked.  Encroachment of the road reservation is a serious problem.  The carpet is cracked, and the surface is uneven, therefore, high possibility for accidents.  Road was damaged by the Water Board and SLT for laying of pipes and cable. The road surface was not properly compacted and repaired. Level difference can be observed along that trench.  Road surface is damaged, and carpet is not smooth.

Issues for road users both vehicle operators and pedestrians

 Drains overflow and difficult to stay at the bus halts during the rainy season  Very difficult to walk on the pedestrian walkway due to vendor activities  Most of the pedestrian crossings in the several area is exactly at the bus stop, so when bus is stopped it’s very difficult for pedestrians and not safe as well. (Kurana shasha, Vijaya road, Galkanda junction, Maristella Collage)

 Many accidents occur due to pedestrians walking on the carriage way as the shoulder is filled with water.  Streetlights are not available and the participant proposed to have a street lighting  Heavy Congestion issues at the morning peak towards Colombo. Specially at the Athurugiriya Junction.  Not enough bus halt huts and existing halts also damaged.  Public buses are stopping along the pedestrian walkway, No Separated Bus stands

Present maintenance condition of the road

 The Road Development Authority is involved in maintenance  RDA does not repair the road with proper methodology.  Drainage system maintenance is not satisfactory. Never cleaned.  There is no proper coordination among Water Board, SLT and CEB when installing/repairing their facilities/infrastructure, and therefore, frequent damages to the road surface are observed, and these damages are not timely attended.

57

Involuntary resettlement due diligence and Socioeconomic Assessment Report

 Canal connected to Underground drainage system but not constructed with adequate capacity to drain storm water and also no proper maintenance (Dehiwela BOC and in -front of the Filling station)  Most of the vendors and unauthorized buildings there, but not removed

Suggestions for the improvement project

 The participants highlighted the need a cover slabs for the whole drainage system and keep it as a pedestrian walkway  It's better to create a communication link with the contractor and DS office during the construction period.  Requested for a pedestrian overpass. Specially to the Maliban junction  Road Damaging due to SLT and Water Board Activities and better to inform them in advance to do their work prior to the construction commencement.  The participants highlighted the raised pedestrian walkway with a security fence.  Pproposed to construct drains along the road in both sides and fill the road shoulder to that level so that pedestrians can move safely.  The participant proposed to have a street lighting  The participants highlighted road Signs are not visible.

Possible impact during construction and post construction phases:

 Promote the construction at night time to have a smooth traffic flow during day time  Construction activities should be completed within the period stipulated in the contact agreements.  Consider special attention to prevent water stagnation as the area is marked as a red zone for dengue.  Complete the constructions within approved period and follow the safety guidelines  Do not let the contractor to keep the construction materials on the road  There must be a good traffic management plan during the construction period  Hazard lights and belts should be used to indicate the construction area  It was proposed to inform the residents in the area in advance to commencement of construction so that they can schedule their activities and special events.  During the construction the contractor should make sure that the temporary access system are provided for the residents in the area.

4. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)

69. Grievances are common in involuntary land acquisition and resettlement. If these are not addressed timely and fairly, they will give rise to social resistance, political tension and unnecessary delays in project implementation, and could stall the project. Chapter VI of the Resettlement Frame work of iRoad II project gives reference to the proposed Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM). The road level arrangements need to be made to receive and facilitate early resolution of legitimate concerns and complaints of project affected persons, communities and other interested stakeholders with according to the Resettlement framework of iRoad II.

70. In Sri Lanka, project affected persons have recourse to the judicial system, public administrative system, political system, civil society organizations to resolve disputes. The government has also established Mediation Boards (MB) and Special Mediation Boards (SMB) at the DS level to amicably settle disputes. However, finding solutions to conflicts through these systems takes a long time, incurs expenses, and also do not have open access to some, and these often causes delays in project implementation and increased the expenditure to government due to compensation to contractors.

71. The GRM, as noted earlier, is a process for joint identification and resolution of grievances and concerns as well as a conduit for information exchange that would bring benefits to all stakeholders. By setting up GRM the project expects to:  Provide a forum for redressing grievances and disputes as much as possible at the lowest level,  Create effective communication between the project and APs,  Build up productive relationships among the all stakeholders,  Provide access to APs to negotiate and influence the decisions and policies of the project, where they could adversely affect them,  Mitigate or prevent adverse impacts of the project on communities and suggest appropriate corrective or preventive actions,  Harmonize project activities with those of APs.

72. The Grievances management process will include three tier systems starting from the road level.

First Tier – This is the Grass root level institutional arrangement, where complaints will be received and handled jointly by the contractor, PIC or PIU representative on site. Second tier – This is at project relevant GND level. The Grievances that cannot be resolved at the first level are taken up for resolution at this level with the involvement of the respective GNs. Third Tier – This is the highest level of Grievance Redress institutional set up for the project. It is at project relevant DSD level. The DS of the respective DSD will provide facilitative and other required legal support to address the Grievances of the stakeholders related to the project implementation. 73. There will be Grievance Redress committees at GND and DSD levels. The compositions of the GRCs at these 2 levels are shown below: 59

Representative of contractor Member 6. Representative of social organization (NGO/CBO) Member 7. A community member/ religious leader Member 8. Woman representative from the local community Member

74. To make the GRM process gender responsive, the GRC will include at least one female member to represent women in the local community. Further, when grievances or complaints are submitted to GRC, both women and men complaints will be treated equally and necessary measures will be taken to address the grievances in the best way possible.

75. Recommended steps with timeline on the operation of the GRM are provided in Figure IV-1. The complaints contact person will be designated within the PIU to help address all concerns and grievances of the local communities and affected parties. Contact details of this person will be provided in the project information display board that will be placed at the project site.

5. Conclusions and Recommendations

76. The proposed improvements to 4 candidate roads in Western Province under Integrated Road Investment Program will have positive effects in the rural and urban development as expected by the Government of Sri Lanka. The improvements to 4 candidate roads will assist in enhancing the connectivity of catchment areas with economic centres located in the vicinity of 4 Roads in Colombo and Gampaha Districts and beyond.

77. The consultants observed significantly large number of structures used for informal business activities in the vicinity of road edges. Most of the structures are located more than 2M away from the road edges. Only 15 of these structures observed as potential structures with temporary shifting impacts. These structures can be shifted along the road reservation with no difficulties and therefore, intended improvement activities can be carried out. The entire project affected 15 persons are willing to shift their structures but they should be informed in advance.

78. During the consultations with public it was revealed that the communities require a safe better road surface, width and better establishment of pavements and, especially a proper road drainage canal system.

79. Therefore, it is recommended to design cross sections suiting the existing road corridors. And this concept is already embedded in the project scope. Hence, there will be no cases of involuntary resettlement involved in the project.

80. Measures should be taken to minimize impacts to the public during the construction stage. It is recommended that Grievance Redress Committees be established before the commencement of civil works. As revealed in the socio-economic analysis, the public welcome this project as a positive factor in economic development.

FGD 06 Road : Peliyagoda Puttlam Road (A003) Date : 28/07/2020 Venue : Negambo – Udayarthoppuwa GN Office  Present physical condition

 In 2015 some lands along the road was acquired but nothing happened. Road was not widened.  Section from 20th mile post to Thelwatta Junction the water gets stagnated along the road and need a proper drainage system.  Most of the pedestrian crossings in the Negombo area are exactly at the bus stop, so when a bus is stopped it is very difficult for pedestrians and it is not safe as well. (e.g. Kurana shasha, Vijaya Road, Galkanda Junction, Maristella Collage)  Shoulder of the road has washed away in the section from Dalupotha to Kochchikade.  Road Signs are not visible at night and to be placed in proper locations when rehabilitation activities are carried out  Some culverts are very old and the capacity is not enough. E.g. Near Indra traders, Koppra Junction, Infront of Kochchikade Ground,  Due to many activities in the city Kochchikade area is always congested  The opening size of culverts at Ja Bokkuwa ela and Depa Ela is not adequate

 Issues for road users both vehicle operators and pedestrians

 Road Signs are not visible at night and to be placed in proper locations when rehabilitation activities are performed.  In the congested areas many shops keep their boards and selling items displayed on the pedestrian walkway and therefore, as the space is not available pedestrians use the carriageway.  In the section from Daluwakotuwa to Kochchikade the space for parking vehicles are not available. People always use the carriageway edge to stop vehicles and that create unsafe environment to pedestrians and vehicles.  Traffic signal timings are not optimized and it has created congestion in peak hours.
