1 Summary of Environmental and Social Assessment

1.1 Proposed Project The purpose of the transport sector program is to reduce transport costs and to improve accessibility in rural areas. This project is one of the parallel phases of an Adaptable Program Loan (APL) aimed at helping the Government of Madagascar to implement its transport sector policy and strategy. The entire APL program consists of various investment phases/packages, which include support to the various transport sub-sectors, i.e., essential reforms of the transport sector, and of critical and high priority investments, strengthening the civil aviation and railway sub- sectors, and providing major investments in the road sub-sector.

Given Madagascar's unique ecological assets, environmental degradation is a major concern in the country. Its devastating effects are far-reaching, ranging from siltation of rice fields to the destruction of transport infrastructures. This project will finance the rehabilitation of existing transport infrastructure: i.e., provincial roads, and railway and port infrastructures in the Fiananrantsoa- corridor.

1.2 Environmental Assessment of the Transport Sector Prior to program appraisal, an environmental assessment was prepared for the transport sector. The three-volume Transport Sector Environmental Assessment provided an overview of the context in which the sector currently operates. The EA report: a) defined and analyzed the general environmental impacts relevant to each sub-sector; b) identified the potential environmental impacts of activities planned under APLI; and c) recommended an environmental management plan (EMP). The EA report provides project managers in the sector with a permanent working document enabling them to better understand the situation at each project site, taking social, biological, and physical factors into account. The EA was prepared and disclosed in accordance with World Bank guidelines and national environmental policies concerning infrastructure and environmental protection. The sectoral environmental assessment also provides the basis for the separate environmental and social assessments to be undertaken for each APL phase. The preparation of environmental and social assessments is a built-in trigger for each APL phase.

1.3 Environmental Assessment for APL 2 Environmental and social assessments were undertaken for 8,500 km of rural roads in various provinces throughout Madagascar. A general EMP was prepared that included moderate and high impact roads. Provincial workshops were held to select roads to be rehabilitated under this APL phase. It was determined that only those road links with low environmental impact would be selected, and individual EMPs will now be prepared for those selected roads. These EMPs will be prepared, disclosed and approved prior to project effectiveness. However, the environmental and social assessments resulted in a general EMP that describes the likely magnitude and range of negative impacts and their mitigation measures. Following the selection carried out in the provinces, it has been established that no resettlement or compensation would be necessary.

The Fiananrantsoa-Manakara corridor relies heavily on the FCE railway and the port of Manakara. The Government has committed itself to placing both the railway and the port under a concession regime. It has been established that the Project will not finance any works under this component until this concessioning agreement has been worked out. It is estimated that it will take about a year for this to be completed. It has been agreed that, in order to comply with national environmental regulations and those of the Bank, an environmental audit and EMP will be prepared for the rail infrastructure rehabilitation and an environmental assessment and EMP will be prepared for the proposed port infrastructure rehabilitation within this timeframe to supplement/complement various existing feasibility studies. This requirement/condition has been articulated in the project's legal agreements in the sector policy letter contained in the DCA package.

1.4 Policy and Legislative Framework The impact assessment is based on the following material: * 'Environmental Charter" (Charte de l'Environnement), 1990 * Decree on incorporation of environmental investments into national accounts (Decret de Mise en Compatibilite des Investissements avec l'Environnement) (MECIE), Nov. 2000 * NEO: Maps of the national parks (Management Plan for National Parks - "Plan de Gestion du Reseau National des Aires Protegees de Madagascar", May 2001); natural reserves and national forests (GEF Design

17.01.02 Projet de Transport Rural, Madagascar - Evaluation des impacts environnementaux et sociaux 2

Assistance to PE2, Dec. 1995); "Priority for preserving Madagascar's Biodiversity" (Prioritede conservation de la biodiversite a Madagascar), 1999 * Transport Sector Environmental Study (Etude environnementale du secteur des transports), MOT. MOW (report for the transport project), July 1999 * "Use of Labor-Intensive Technology" (Utilisation de la technologie HIMO), NORAD/BIT, Feb. 2001 * Procedures Manual for Preliminary Designs (Manuel de procedures pour avant-projets sommaires (APS)), SEP/NGO Lalana/Basler & Hofmann, July 2001, with comments provided to firms dealing with engineering and social aspects during the workshops (June-July 2001) by specialists from the PES, the World Bank and the NGO Lalana * Preliminary designs provided by firms handling engineering and social aspects for each province, Sept./Oct 2001.

1.5 Methodology The environmental and socio-economic studies carried out by the environmental and social firms for the preliminary designs are based on the Procedures Handbook for Rural Roads and include in particular: * a description of the current environmental situation (as evaluated on the field); * an assessment of the potential impacts of road rehabilitation during the preparation, implementation, and operation and maintenance phases; * the specification of mitigation measures and an estimate of their associated costs (to be included in total costs); * a detailed socio-economic study carried out in the selected communes (listed in the annex) with communal and household level surveys used as the baselines for future project impacts.

The Handbook describes the approach to defining appropriate interventions and contains the following instructions for minimizing negative environmental and social impacts:

* changes in road alignment can be made only if they are absolutely necessary and do not require resettlement of people or property; * care will be taken in the siting of construction camps, borrow pits and quarries to avoid resettlement, and measures will be taken to rehabilitate after completion; * there will be an effort to identify drainage areas and other zones which could be stabilized through local community involvement, i.e., through in-kind contributions.

The preliminary designs and conclusions prepared by the environmental firms have been reviewed by experts at the PES, by Lalana (the NGO charged with oversight), and by the World Bank's rural transport specialists, to ensure that: * studies were carried out in a timely manner; * NEO's environmental maps (i.e., integrated maps of biological assets, eco-regional maps) were integrated into the analysis.

1.6 Participatory approach Stakeholders have played a key role in preparation of the project as well as of the environmental and social assessment, and will continue to do so during project implementation. Decentralized levels of Government, i.e., the stakeholders' elected representatives, ensure the ownership and management of rural roads. Beneficiaries and their representatives have been consulted in the final selection of roads to be improved and will be advised on how to maintain these roads. Stakeholders will decide whether they want to take advantage of the project's intent to provide support for environmentally-sound exploitation of reforested areas. These environmental enhancement initiatives and/or micro-projects will then be executed under the responsibility of community-based organizations.

During project preparation, a number of workshops were held to define the "Promotion of Intermediate Means of Transport" component. NGOs were instrumental in defining this component. NGOs and civil society also participated in the final selection of roads to be improved under the project and will thus have a major role in shaping this component. The local NGO Lalana played a leading role in providing guidance to the consulting engineers that performed the summary design studies on environmental and social impacts. NGOs will also play a key role by helping to define the project log frame. Some of these NGOs may be national (e.g., Lalana, FJKM), international (e.g., CARE, CRS, Veterinaires sans frontieres, Agro Action, Intercooperation), credit agencies, and community associations. Depending on their qualifications, they may be involved in outreach, technology transfer, micro-credit, etc. Community-based organizations will also be involved in informing communities about the

17.01.02 Projet de Transport Rural, Madagascar - Evaluation des impacts environnementaux et sociaux 3

options for environmentally-sound watershed management and will assist those communities who opt to participate in this component. These initiatives will be coordinated by ANAE, an NGO with extensive experience in community-based environmental management and ecological services delivery.

The environmental and social assessments have been prepared by a process involving built-in consultation. Communities, local provincial authorities, local NGOs/CBOs were consulted during these assessments. NEO was also consulted on the recommendations emerging from the assessments. As a quality assurance measure, a national NGO has been hired by the PES to oversee the environmental and social inputs for the feasibility studies and provide support to the environmental and social teams who prepared the studies/surveys.

1.7 Rural transport rehabilitation component Separate environmental and social analyses were carried out for the proposed roads and for a part of the work proposed for the Fiananrantsoa corridor. The planning process for the rehabilitation of provincial roads is similar to that of CDD projects. Roads will be selected based on a prescribed set of financial, technical, social and environmental criteria. On the basis of these criteria, the provinces will establish their annual road improvement programs each year through a consultative process. Preliminary environmental and social analyses were carried out for 8,500 km throughout Madagascar, with the likely impact of interventions being rated as high, medium, or low for each road segment. Prior to the assessment, teams of environmental and social specialists conferred at a workshop to establish a common framework for field visits, environmental and social inputs and levels of analyses.

Direct and indirect environmental and social impacts at the road construction site and in the immediate environs of the right of way may include: stripping of top soil and loss of vegetation due to the creation of borrow pits; soil erosion on road cuts and fills and stripped borrow areas; silting of roadside ditches and subsequent downstream sedimentation of water; soil contamination and water pollution due to spillage of toxic materials; problems with slope stability due to erosion and/or poor drainage; various forms of temporary land occupation; and impacts on human settlements (e.g., spread of HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, higher accident rates). In order to mitigate these impacts, an Environmental Management Unit has been established and made responsible for overall environmental management of the Program and for the implementation and monitoring of separate environmental management plans for each road segment..

The first year's road rehabilitation program was established during a series of provincial workshops. It was determined that only those roads having little or no environmental and social impact were to be selected. Therefore, for the first year's program, no sensitive natural habitats will be affected and no resettlement and/or compensation will be necessary. For subsequent programs, based on these preliminary analyses, further environmental and social assessments will be prepared, disclosed and approved prior to any civil works, as required by the project's Environmental Management Unit, the National Environmental Office (NEO) and the Bank's safeguard policies, where applicable.

1.8 Potential Environmental Impacts Road rehabilitation has a positive overall impact, particularly on the social and economic environments. The major potential downsides are physical (e.g., damage to soil, flora and fauna, loss of habitat, deforestation) and social (disruption of life, resettlement, loss of cultural sites).

The potential effects of road rehabilitation on soil, flora and fauna have been assessed on every road, especially in the biologically diverse eco-regions. Five of the 350 roads provide greater access to sensitive areas (i.e., national forests). This could intensify existing pressure on virgin forests and on native fauna. Nevertheless, such effects will be mitigated by measures such as the creation of the Gestions Locales de Securite (GELOSE) and other similar institutions to protect the environment. About 25 roads traverse sensitive areas that have already been damaged or that are close to virgin forests. For damaged areas, rehabilitation will have a fairly positive impact, whereas nearby virgin forests may experience a fairly negative impact. For these roads, a detailed EMP, including responsibilities and follow-up measures, will be prepared and implemented. For roads going through damaged areas, environmental measures (e.g., reforestation, drainage pit stabilization) will be appraised in the field during preparation of the detailed design studies. Such measures will be adapted/modified appropriately for every road segment having any negative environmental impact. No physical works will be implemented until an EMP for each road segment is prepared, approved, included in contract documentation and costed.

In conclusion, the few potential negative impacts on the environment can be adequately offset.

1.9 Resettlement and cultural heritage The project will improve existing roads, which are often in very poor condition. These improvements will provide more reliable access throughout the year (including the rainy season). Preliminary designs prepared thus far by the engineering and social firms show that very few road layouts should be modified. So far, no one is expected to be resettled, nor is any cultural site expected to be damaged.

The overall assessment of impacts is shown in the following table. Rough studies provide a general view of the project. Detailed studies analyze roads on a case-by-case basis.

Illegal deforestation is closely linked to road access. Improved access to forests will facilitate these illegal activities.

The firms handling environmental and social aspects have been careful to avoid disturbing such sites. Under the first year's rehabilitation program, no cultural sites will be affected.

1.10 Rail and port infrastructure rehabilitation component The environmental assessment for rehabilitation of railroad infrastructures has been carried out. The 163 km railway traverses a unique ecosystem consisting of the last remnants of virgin forest in the highlands. The EA for the railway has highlighted the negative environmental and social impacts of a permanent closure of the railway, i.e., conversion from cash crop production to subsistence crops, especially manioc and rice, using slash-and-bum techniques on steep slopes. It is expected that an additional 110,300 ha would be put under cultivation. Secondary impacts due to erosion and reduced rainfall in the immediate vicinity of the corridor are estimated by NEO at US$16 million.. No estimates have been developed for the cventual loss in biodiversity and tourism potential. Ongoing community activities for slope stabilization have already demonstrated the positive effects of converting fields adjacent to the railway from manioc cultivation to vetiver, fruit trees and spice crops. Where appropriate, these experiences would be applied and adapted to mitigation measures for provincial roads rehabilitation programs.

Several preliminary feasibility studies have been carried out for the rehabilitation of port infrastructures. A study examining various rehabilitation options was prepared, but an environmental assessment of the selected option has yet to be prepared. The port environment has been assessed as part of the preparation of a GEF project that is providing emergency equipment for oil spills. The project will finance the rehabilitation of the port, which includes rehabilitating a land-based oil pipeline and container facility.

17.01.02 Projet de Transport Rural, Madagascar -Evaluation des impacts environnementaux et sociaux 6

The corridor relies heavily on the FCE railway and the port of Manakara. The Government has committed itself to placing both the railway and the port under a concession regime. It has been established that the Project will not finance any works under this component until this concessioning agreement has been worked out. It is estimated that it will take about a year for this to occur. It has been agreed that, in order to comply with national environmental regulations and those of the Bank, an environmental audit and EMP will be prepared for the rail infrastructure rehabilitation and an environmental assessment and EMP will be prepared for the proposed port infrastructure rehabilitation within this one-year timeframe. This requirement/condition has been articulated in the project's legal agreements in the sector policy letter contained in the DCA package.

1.11 Community Environmental Management On a pilot basis, community participation in environmental management (e.g., watershed management, reforestation activities, etc.) would be introduced in areas where NGOs are already active. Community contributions to road improvement could be in the form of making land available for reforestation and ensuring its environmentally-sound exploitation. Given the extreme poverty in Madagascar, it is clear that communities would only invest in the environment if there is a direct economic benefit. During project preparation, the project therefore explored the various forms of community-based environmental action that can be undertaken. Strategies for the sustainability of such environmental activities (e.g., inclusion in road maintenance programs) were also explored.

1.12 Environmental Management/Monitoring Plan Under APL I of the transport program, several environmental management recommendations were implemented. The PES recruited an environmental specialist who will receive technical assistance not only to implement and monitor the EMPs of all APL activities, but also to assume leadership of the "Environmental and Social Protection" component of the project. This project will continue to support improved environmental management in the transport sector, particularly as this relates to rural transport. International technical assistance is currently being put in place at the PES to reinforce local staff.

The socio-economic baseline study, which would be an integral and ongoing instrument of the project's M&E system, would monitor the project's impact on poverty. The surveys would collect economic data (e.g., the cost of traveling to the nearest market town, prices of consumer goods and basic staples) as well as socio-development data (e.g. number of children completing primary school, incidence of diseases, and assistance of agriculture extension workers.) The studies would also collect information about the quality of life in communities.

2 Environmental impacts

2.1 General description Based on the overall assessment of the project, the following environmental impacts are examined in greater detail: * soils: erosion, sand encroachment * fauna: habitat loss * flora: deforestation, reforestation Negative impacts are likely in areas of great biodiversity. Roads crossing or facilitating access to such a zone are described in this report under the summary of the consulting firms' notes and clarifications. The size of these areas is indicated on the NEO map presented below.

Measures to mitigate negative impacts during the implementation phase are, in general, similar for all the roads, with specifications differentiated according to the placement or nature of critical spots. The measures are documented in the environmental management plans for each road, which are partially completed (see example in annex), to be completed at the time of the detailed designs and included in the bidding invitations and resulting contracts. The most important measures include the rehabilitation of borrow pits, construction of the necessary deviations while road works are occurring, defining and preventing access to sensitive areas, and measures to monitor the virgin forests with the relevant institutions.

2.2 Environmental impacts and abatement measures

2.2.1 Province of Antananarivo The province belongs to the Central ecological region, according to NEO's classification. Practically all the region's natural vegetation has been cleared or modified by human activity. Roads mainly traverse agricultural areas.

The environmental chapters of the consulting firms' preliminary designs are not yet available. In order to identify the sites with potential negative environmental impacts, maps of the roads under consideration and of the sensitive areas have been superimposed. The result shows that no road passes through a sensitive area. Most of the roads traverse areas of savanna-type vegetation (whether wooded or not), as indicated in the list attached as an annex.

2.2.2 Province of Fianarantsoa The province's terrain belongs to the ecoregions of the Center (like Antananarivo) and East. The latter region includes low- and medium-altitude virgin rain forest and mossy forest. It consists of a discontinuous band of natural habitats running from north to south in a strip ranging in width from 30 km at the widest point to only a few kilometers towards the south. According to NEO, the most severe pressure is being exerted on the low-altitude forest, with a large portion of the original natural habitats having been transformed, through human activity, into secondary habitats. Most of the medium-altitude forest is protected, to a certain extent, by its inaccessibility. Some of the project's roads will facilitate access to this region, and these have been examined more closely.

Information provided by the consulting firm's environmental specialists indicates that the impacts of rehabilitation works are generally deemed low (see table in annex). Information provided by the consulting firms was merged with, and supplemented by, environmental databases such as the <>.Eighty-eight percent of the roads have low or non-existent environmental impacts, and 9 percent are judged to have moderate impact.

2.2.3 Province of Taomasina The province is part of the ecoregions of the Center and East. A wide band of low- and medium-altitude virgin rain forest exists, mainly in the northern part of the province.

The consulting firm has not yet provided data on impacts on the physical milieu (i.e., soils and erosion), but the Province of Toamasina includes areas presenting high risk of rain erosion, as well as areas said to be susceptible to the formation of lavaka. The available information has thus been merged with, and supplemented by, environmental databases such as <(Priorities in Biodiversity Conservation in Madagascar>> and «State of the Environment in Madagascar»>. The impacts of rehabilitation works are generally deemed to be low to moderate (see table in annex. Thirty-nine percent of the trunk roads present little or no environmental impact, 43 percent present a moderate impact since they affect areas of virgin forest or priority sites for research and conservation of avian and aquatic species One thoroughfare (N°31309 in the fivondronana ) has a high impact.

2.2.4 Province of Mahajanga The province's terrain descends from the central highlands (Center ecoregion) to the western coast (West ecoregion according to NEO's classification). The 'West' ecoregion consists of seriously damaged and fragmented natural habitats that are still under severe pressure. The roads being studied under the project do not cross any park or preserve.

Of the 31 trunk roads, 17 have had environmental reports done by the consulting firm as of early October 2001, including 8 socio-economic studies. Analysis of these reports indicates that the roads having moderate impact require surveillance since they are being developed in proximity to sensitive areas or areas at risk of non-negligible socio-cultural impacts. Information supplied by the consulting firms has been merged with the environmental database on <>.

The required abatement measures are set out in detail in the consulting firms' reports and contain in particular an environmental management plan indicating measures to be carried out during the phases of preparation, implementation and operation/maintenance of the trunk road (see annex.) Responsibilities are clearly indicated. Estimated costs of the environmental measures are on the order of FMG 1 billion, included in the total cost of rehabilitation of FMG 320 billion.

2.2.5 Province of Toliary The province's terrain is part of the South ecoregion, which is naturally protected to a great extent by its aridity and shallow soils. However, vast tracts that were previously protected are now being invaded by human and bovine migration and by land clearing. According to NEO, biodiversity is relatively low in the South ecoregion, in comparison to other regions of Madagascar.

The roads sometimes cross lowlands and/or marshy areas with submerged road crossings. According to those responsible at the consulting firms, no change in the road path has been envisaged and the issue of population displacement will not arise. Some roads are located close to sensitive areas, but do not affect them directly. The negative environmental impacts of the road rehabilitation project are low or negligible.

However, an inventory of the current situation points up the injurious effects of natural scourges from which this region suffers, such as drought and endemic insect pests, and population pressure on the environment (as manifested by rapid acceleration of erosion caused by brushfires, deforestation and uncontrolled mining of precious stones and sapphires). The establishment of measures to prevent damage and protect the environment during the rehabilitation phase, which is a hoped-for environmental improvement effect of the project, will not be easy since it will require raising awareness of the need to change longstanding practices, and therefore a long-term program. Nevertheless, the possibilities for local contribution in the form of reforestation (climate, siting, organization) will be evaluated concretely at the time of the detailed designs.

2.2.6 Province of Antsiranana This province consists of several ecoregions of great value and importance in terms of preserving the country's biodiversity. Some roads are located near sensitive areas and sometimes cross them. These are semi-arid erosion- prone areas, forest stands, mangrove swamps and special preserves. The consulting firm's report mentions that these areas are currently subject to heavy population pressure. The practice of tavy (i.e., slash-and-bum rice cultivation), the growing of qat, illicit forest use (e.g., for lumber or wood fuel), and sapphire mining are the main activities causing environmental deterioration in the region. Several organizations (such as the Association Nationale pour la Gestion des Aires Protegges (ANGAP), WWF, LDI, etc.) are active in the region, trying to slow the spiral of environmental degradation. Roads contribute to the expansion of this process by facilitating access to sensitive areas, and rehabilitation of these roads could accelerate the process. Nevertheless, these roads are deemed necessary in order to interconnect the villages located in these regions.

The consulting firm classified the roads according to their environmental impacts. Eight of the 17 roads studied are rated as "very high impact" and 3 as "high impact". These roads were examined more closely and reclassified if necessary depending on the nature of the impacts. They are described in greater detail in the following table, which indicates the abatement measures envisaged. The group's environmental specialist recommends the strengthening or creation of so-called GELOSE (Gestion Locale Securisee) structures in order to ensure the sustainability of environmental protection activities. The plan is for these structures to regulate and monitor the use and exploitation of land and forests, particularly by means of zoning and annual usage limitations.

For all the roads mentioned below, the creation and implementation of an Environmental Management Plan is very important, especially to identify measure to be carried out during the rehabilitation works (demarcation of preserve areas, use of minimal equipment, etc.).

One problem mentioned by the consulting firm is the lack of respect for laws pertaining to the roads. Lands adjacent to roads are often used for agriculture (tree crops) right up to the road shoulder. This poses a problem in marshy areas, since the roads do not dry out sufficiently due to the trees' shade. Since brush clearing is necessary for rehabilitation and maintenance, this conflict of interest must be handled with care, and the local population consulted and informed prior to the works (to be included in the road management plans).

3 Social impacts

3.1 Improved access

3.1.1 Summary estimate of project impact It is estimated that the Rural Transportation Project will improve access for about 5.5 million rural inhabitants, or about one third of Madagascar's rural population. About half of the country's rural population currently lacks year- round access between their villages and the outside world, whether by road or other means of transport (river, ocean), and has a road or other transportation channel usable only during the dry season and more or less non- existent during the rainy season. The project will improve this situation significantly for about 2.5 million inhabitants, or for about a third of those currently lacking year-round transportation access.

Access problems are the following: * Western coast (Antsiranana, Taomasina, Fianarantsoa): difficult roads for travelling from the coast to villages and fertile areas located on lands rising up in a westward direction, with very heavy rains (cyclones) and rough terrain. * Highlands and central plains (Mahajanga, Taomasina, Antanananrivo, Fianarantsoa, Toliary): roads difficult in some places (in hilly areas) with degraded and very erosion-prone terrain. * Western coast (Antsiranana, Mahajanga, Toliary): long distances between villages, crossings of wide rivers with highly variable water levels. In general, road rehabilitation costs per inhabitant served are higher in the coastal areas and fairly low in highland areas. The tables and graphs show that the population is concentrated mainly in the central part of the country,

17.01.02 Projet de Transport Rural. Madagascar - Evaluation des impacts environnementaux et sociaux 14 particularly in the highlands and along the eastern coast. By distributing its resources in a balanced fashion over the country and among the provinces, the project can reach somewhat more people in the highlands, without neglecting the coastal areas.

3.1.2 Current status and characteristics of transportation in the provinces a) Antananarivo This province has the country's highest population density, and not only because of the high concentration in Antananarivo. The rural road network is correspondingly dense and heavily used. Traffic counted on the roads amounts to about 300 vehicles per day (VPD) on average, and sometimes even exceeds 1,000 VPD, of which 80 percent, on average, are intermediate means of transport (IMT). This rather high figure is attributable in particular to 15 roads studied that have vehicular traffic exceeding 100 VPD. However, access for a large percentage of the population of the hills is not guaranteed on a year-round basis. Roads are often cut off during the rainy season, and rehabilitation carried out under the project will eliminate many of these service interruptions. The roads studied are located in regions of high potential and traverse agriculturally productive areas in which the evacuation of products is still a significant problem because of the poor condition of road infrastructures.

b) Fianarantsoa This province is heavily populated and located partially in the highlands (in a situation comparable to that of the province of Antananarivo) and on the country's eastern coast. Isolated villages are found especially in the area rising from the coast up towards the highlands, an area that is at the same time fertile and difficult to reach. The region's traffic averages 125 VPD, of which 25 motor vehicles and 100 IMT (80 percent). Average daily motorized traffic ranges from 0 vehicles for road No. 21703 (fivondronana of ) to 579 vehicles for road No. 20402. The communities (communes) affected by roads Nos. 21301,21302, 21303, 21304 (fivondronana of Farafangana), 20905 (fivondronana of ), 21102 (fivondronana of ), 21207 (fivondronana of ), 20801 (fivondronana of Ambohimahasoa) have stated a willingness to build and maintain the infrastructures. These roads represent 9 percent of those studied. On average, the roads in this region serve 1,489 inhabitants/km, a relatively high ratio in comparison to other provinces (e.g., 487 inhab/km in Mahajanga). Available manpower makes up about 7 percent of the population served, on average.

c) Taomasina

17.01.02 Projet de Transport Rural, Madagascar - Evaluation des impacts environnementaux et sociaux 15

The province is located on the coast, with the same access constraints already described for Fianarantsoa. A fairly large portion of the roads studied are located in the region of Ambatondrazaka, located at somewhat higher altitude to the west of Taomasina and characterized by high agricultural production. The province's roads serve an average of 5391 inhab/km. Other socio-economic information, including traffic counts, has yet to be received from the consulting firms. d) Mahajanga This province is traversed by wide rivers that pose a considerable obstacle to access on the part of the communes, particularly along the coast. Distances between villages are usually rather long, and traffic light in general. Average traffic in the region amounts to 170 VPD, of which 23 are motor vehicles and the rest (85 percent) IMT. Counts of motorized traffic on the roads studied range from 56 vehicles for road No. 41201 in the fivondronana of Befandriana to 2 vehicles for road No. 40801 in the fivondronana of Tsaratanana. The project will improve accessibility for a number of villages, especially on the plains. Given the high costs (both in absolute terms and in terms of cost per inhabitant served) of the road studied along the coast headed southward (roads Nos. 40201, 42101, 42103, and 42001), improving access to the southwestern portion of the province may not become a part of the Rural Transportation Project but deserves to be considered from the standpoint of the national road network. The dossiers of the consulting firm indicate that some communes have already demonstrated their willingness to contribute actively to development. Indeed, the communes along roads N°41201 (fivondronana of Befandriana) and N°41004 (fivondronana of Mandritsara) have made great contributions to the construction of the existing infrastructures. e) Toliary The area crossed by the roads studied is a semi-arid region with a dry climate, characterized by savanna and brushlands, and with sedimentary soils predominating, especially in the west. The region has some potential, but has difficulty obtaining supplies of basic staples and evacuating agricultural products. Production sites and agricultural lands are relatively scattered, but are located within the area of impact of the roads studied. Moreover, ox-drawn carts with iron-rimmed wheels, the only means of transport capable of ensuring year-round exchanges between communes, also contribute to the rapid deterioration of roads. The main activities in the environs of the roads studied are related to agriculture (cotton, tobacco, rice, maize, groundnuts, sisal, cape peas, sweet potatoes, fish), livestock (cattle, goats, sheep, poultry), mining (mica, sapphires, fossilized wood) and tourism. The province is characterized by very low population density, and therefore by fairly great distances between villages. Roads often consist of sandy paths that pose no great navigability problems but which become impassable during the rainy season. Traffic on the roads studied is usually quite light: between 3 and about 60 VPD at most, of which 40 percent on average is motorized and 60 percent non-motorized (IMT). On average, roads in this region serve 274 inhabitants/kin, a fairly modest ratio compared to other (e.g., 1,489 inhab/km in Fianarantsoa and 487 inhab/km in Mahajanga). f) Antsiranana The province includes lands with characteristics of the eastern coast (i.e., heavy rains) and of the western coast (dry climate.) The roads studied are generally located in an area of high agricultural potential (rice, sugar cane, coffee, vanilla, clove, cocoa, pepper, etc.) and mining possibilities (gold, sapphires.) However, the lack of water in some areas, and the flooding and destruction of produce resulting from cyclones in other areas, as well as the poor condition of road infrastructures, are major problems for the region's population. This last factor, if one takes the average stated in the consulting firm's socio-economic report, forces people to make trips of over three hours on foot to reach the nearest town or commune. The project will improve this situation. Traffic counts on the roads studied average 450 VPD, of which about 40 are motor vehicles (10 percent of traffic) and 90 percent non- motorized transport. It should be noted here that the consulting firm also counted pedestrians carrying goods as non-motorized traffic. Seven of the 15 roads studied (Nos. 60601, 61001, 61102, 61202, 61203 and 61705) are impassable for motorized traffic but still bear considerable IMT traffic.

3.2 Job creation It is estimated that about 500,000 person/months of employment will be created during works execution, which translates into short-term work (i.e., an average of about five months) for about 100,000 people living along the improved roads. If these figures are translated into permanent employment terms, about 10,000 jobs of 5 years' duration will be created, mainly due to the use of labor-intensive techniques where possible.

17.01.02 Projet de Transport Rural. Madagascar -Evaluation des impacts environnementaux et sociaux 16

A comparison of available manpower and project needs shows that the use of labor-intensive methods is generally feasible. A shortage of manpower is possible in some cases, however, particularly if the road crosses a depopulated area (e.g., in the southern part of the country). The situation will be evaluated on a road-by-road basis in the detailed designs.

4 Summary and conclusion

4.1 Financial package and project scope Financial package The Rural Transportation Project, financed by various sources (e.g., such donors as IDA, ADB, EU, NORAD and IPPTE, etc.) is estimated to come to a total of FMG 750 billion (US$ 115 million) (see Aide-memoire of June/July 2001 pre-appraisal mission) over the next five years, of which about 30 percent (US$ 34 million) would be financed under the APL-2 credit of the World Bank Transportation Project.

Project scope Under the project, 350 road itineraries, totaling 8,500 km of rural roads, were studied. It is estimated that about 6,000 - 7,000 km of these roads will be rehabilitated, representing about one third of Madagascar's rural roads network, which totals about 20,000 km.

4.2 Impacts General The general assessment of impacts resulting from road rehabilitation indicates that impacts are of a more or less positive nature, especially as regards the socio-economic milieu. Potential negative impacts of moderate to high intensity relate to the physical milieu (i.e., soils, flora, fauna, habitat loss, deforestation) and the social milieu (e.g., lifestyle disruption, displacement, loss of cuttural sites.)

Impacts on the physical environment The potential impact of the roads on the soils, flora and fauna were studied for each road, especially in the ecoregion that possesses great biodiversity. Five of the 350 trunk roads improve access to sensitive areas (i.e., preserves), and this could increase existing pressures on virgin forests and indigenous fauna. However, these potentially high impacts are deemed to be mitigated by measures such as the establishment and support of local management entities (Gestions Locales de S&urite, GELOSE) or similar structures for environmental protection. About 25 trunk roads cross sensitive areas that are either already highly deteriorated or close to virgin forests, with impacts deemed moderate, particularly during the works implementation phase (positive in the former case, negative in the latter.) The measures planned for these roads consist of preparing and implementing a detailed environmental management plan. This plan regulates the precautions to be taken, including responsibilities and follow-up. For roads crossing areas that are already degraded, options for including environmental measures (e.g., reforestation, stabilization of catchment areas) will be assessment concretely during preparation of detailed designs. These measures are also planned, albeit in less elaborate form, for all other roads rated as having low environmental impacts. In conclusion, the few potential negative impacts on the physical environment can be adequately offset by the proposed measures, in such a way that the rehabilitation of all the roads studied becomes acceptable.

Displacement and cultural sites The project will in general improve existing or old roads, many of which are in poor condition and have navigability problems that impede passage during the rainy season, or even in any weather. Therefore, the road paths exist

17.01.02 Projet de Transport Rural. Madagascar -Evaluation des impacts environnementaux et sociaux 17 already. Preliminary designs available thus far for most of the project roads confirm that very little routing change required and, if this is the case, that it can be done without displacing people or causing damage to cultural sites.

Improved accessibility It is estimated that the Rural Transportation Project will improve access for about 5.5 million rural dwellers, or about one third of Madagascar's rural population. The project will improve access significantly for about 2.5 million inhabitants who currently lack year-round access, i.e., for about one third of the population currently lacking year-round access. At this stage of project processing, the hypotheses that there is a link between improved access and poverty reduction can only be supported by project studies carried out in other countries. In-depth socio-economic surveys have been done in 87 communes scattered throughout the country. These baseline data will make it possible to assess transport-related, social and economic indicators during project implementation and upon completion, with a view to supporting the hypothesis.

Job creation It is estimated that about 500,000 pcrson/months of tcmporary employment will be crcatcd during works execution. These figures, translated into permanent job terms, mean that about 10,000 jobs will be created for five years, mainly due to the use of labor-intensive methods wherever possible.

PST Comments: Total of inhabitants served slightly exceeds rural population inthe province, and is therefore probably overestimated. Even considering that the roads cover almost the entirety of the province, figures sometimes appear to be inflated.

According to the coordinator of the environmental team, the impacts mentioned in the project briefs relate only to positive impacts anticipated from the road rehabilitation project. Th e levels of these impacts were established based on the volume of agricultural production and the number ol people served. It was emphasized, during the interview, that the project's negative socio-economic impacts will probably be negligible. The environmental impacts of the roads were verified in a cursory manner by the PST and by the NGO Lalana, and no strong negative impact was noted.

PST comments: Indicated socio-economic impact is considered to be positive.

Environmental impact: Trunk road 40501 linking Amabto Boeni and Madirovalo. It is located between the Ankaranfantsika Forest Preserve and the Antsitondraindahy Classified Forest. Direct impact of works is therefore minimal since the ;i j does not cross these two areas. An Environmental Management Plan will be prepared in the context of the detailed Environrnental impact: Trunk road 41003 linking Besakana and Ambalakirajy. The thoroughfare does not cross any preserve or classified forest. An Environmental Management Plan will be prepared in the context of the detailed designs.
