I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background

1. In 2012, the Myanmar government commenced bold efforts to advance evidence-based reforms of the education sector. This included the Comprehensive Education Sector Review (CESR), led by the Ministry of Education (MOE), which culminated in the National Education Strategic Plan, 2016-2021 (NESP). NESP lays out a series of transformational shifts, strategies, and programs. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has proudly served as one of Myanmar’s key development partners (DPOs) in supporting these evidence-based reforms, including via a series of successful grant-based technical assistance projects (TAs) starting in 2012 that supported the CESR process and formulation of the NESP, preparations for secondary education subsector (SES) reforms, and pilot testing of new approaches to technical and vocational education and training (TVET) based on CESR findings.

2. Building on TA-based support, Loan 3472-MYA: Equipping Youth for Employment Project (EYE) supports national reforms laid out in the NESP to realign SES and TVET to Myanmar’s evolving workforce needs, helping strengthen the country’s education and skills base and promoting economic modernization, job creation, inclusive growth, poverty reduction, and other national goals. EYE aims to contribute to the longer-term impact of enhanced education and skills base for inclusive growth. It will directly support the targeted outcome of secondary education and TVET realigned to evolving labor force needs and equitably expanded.1 EYE is principally national in scope, including support for enhanced policies and institutional capacity for cohesive SES and TVET reforms, as well as implementation of SES curriculum reforms and expansion of competency-based modular short courses (CBMSCs) as a critical new TVET modality in Myanmar. EYE will also support selected geographically targeted interventions focused on expanding SES and TVET access for underserved populations.2 Following ADB approval on 28 November 2016, EYE’s Loan Agreement was signed on 22 March 2017 and EYE became effective on 19 June 2017. EYE is currently expected to be implemented from June 2017 - 31 December 2022 (the planned physical completion date), with loan closure by 30 June 2023.3

B. Project Objectives

3. Impact (the longer-term objective to which the project contributes): Enhanced education and skills base for inclusive growth.

4. Outcome (key objective to be achieved by project closure): Secondary education and TVET realigned to evolving labor force needs and equitably expanded.

5. Outputs: EYE supports a set of linked and coordinated interventions that are closely aligned with Myanmar’s national reform agenda and are structured into three core outputs:

(i) Policy frameworks and capacities for cohesive, workforce-responsive SES and TVET enhanced—to anchor subsector-specific interventions under outputs

1 Specific indicators and targets at the outcome and output levels are identified in design and monitoring framework (DMF) and will be tracked periodically. 2 In addition to targeting large numbers of dropouts from post-primary education, geographically targeted initiatives generally prioritized areas lying on the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) economic corridors running through Myanmar, which are vital to Myanmar’s economic development. 3 EYE was originally expected to start from February 2017, but signing and effectiveness were slightly delayed. 2

2-3, output 1 will advance cross-cutting reforms to rationalize and better link SES and TVET and reorient them to demand-driven, competency-based approaches, and will build related capacities within MOE, MOPFI (see next footnote), MOLIP, and related agencies;

(ii) New SES curriculum delivered and access expanded—EYE output 2 represents the main direct DPO support to SES under the NESP, complemented by sizeable EU budget support for SES reforms. Output 2 will focus on supporting MOE’s implementation of curriculum reforms aimed at improving SES quality and relevance (which appear to be the lead factor undermining SES completion and learning outcomes), with focused support for access-related interventions (e.g., civil works and social marketing); and

(iii) New TVET programs introduced and access expanded—output 3 will support the expansion of labor market-responsive TVET programs, focusing on replication and diversification of competency-based modular short courses (CBMSCs) piloted with support under ADB/JFPR TA 8634. It will provide related equipment and minor civil works, as well as support for stipends, social marketing, and other demand-side interventions.

6. Each of the 3 project outputs is further broken down into sub outputs and (within each sub output) activity areas. The detailed design—as well as institutional arrangements (see below), financing, safeguards, and other dimensions are detailed in the Project Administration Manual (PAM)—which may be updated by joint agreement by MOE and ADB.

C. Institutional Arrangements

7. MOE serves as the Executing Agency (EA) for EYE, in coordination with other agencies as needed. As EA, MOE shall ensure that relevant staff involved in implementation are fully aware of, and comply with, relevant Government and ADB procedures including, but not limited to, those for implementation, safeguards, procurement, use of consultants, disbursement, reporting, monitoring, and prevention of fraud and corruption. The MOE Executive Committee (chaired by the Union Minister) provides senior-most supervision, guidance, and cross-agency coordination to EYE, particularly on policy level issues. MOE has established a Project Management Unit (PMU) housed within the MOE Department of Educational Research, Planning and Training (DERPT), which provides overall management of all aspects of implementation of the EYE, ensuring compliance with loan covenants, relevant ADB policies, and PAM (including the detailed design, safeguards dimensions, gender action plan [GAP], etc.). Specific areas of responsibility include but are not limited to: (i) overall planning; (ii) monitoring and evaluation including periodic reporting; (iii) safeguards; (iv) administration, including procurement, disbursement, and accounting; and (v) ensuring independent auditing. The PMU, reporting to the Project Director, will supervise and be supported by project-financed consultants, and will coordinate the work of technical implementing units (IUs) within the MOE as well as the Ministry of Planning, Finance and Industry4 (MOPFI) Directorate of Industrial Collaboration, which act as technical lead units for implementation of specific clusters of project activities.

D. Project Safeguards Categorization

4 The Ministry of Industry was merged into the Ministry of Planning, Finance and Industry in November 2019. 3

8. Following ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009), ADB has classified the project as category C for involuntary settlement, and as category B for environment and indigenous peoples (termed “ethnic groups” in Myanmar).

9. Involuntary resettlement (category C). The project will not entail involuntary resettlement. Civil works will be restricted to existing school sites on government-owned land that is free of any encumbrances. DBE has reconfirmed this and obtained copies of land ownership documentation.

10. Environment (category B). Civil works will be minor in scope and restricted to existing government school sites, and will have minor or no adverse potential environmental impacts (which principally relate to health and safety risks to students during construction to upgrade existing primary and secondary school sites), with measures in place to prevent or mitigate such potential impacts. As all civil works will be located within existing school sites, new structures of each school will have less than 80 rooms,5 and none of the sites lie in environmentally protected or fragile areas, Myanmar’s Environmental Impact Assessment Procedures does not require an IEE or an environmental impact assessment (EIA). As reconfirmed by Director General, Environmental Conservation Department (ECD) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC) in September 2019, there will be no need to secure environmental clearances from ECD: i.e., MOE Department of Basic Education (DBE) has authority to oversee civil works under EYE output 2.

11. At the same time, MOE and ADB recognize that civil works under EYE output 2 will be conducted at existing 48 basic education school sites (e.g., provision of additional classroom blocks, dorms, and toilets to upgrade existing post-primary schools to full-fledged middle schools), which will have young children present during at least part of the construction period. If not properly managed, construction activity could thus pose a health and safety risk to young children. In view of this, and in accordance with ADB’s SPS (which includes health and safety risks under environmental safeguards), MOE and ADB agreed to categorize EYE as “B” for environment and to prepare an IEE focused on school upgrading civil works under output 2. The IEE includes measures to help MOE (in particular DBE) minimize and mitigate modest health and safety risks to young students, as well as any other potential minor environmental impacts (e.g., dust and noise) of school upgrading at the 48 sites. These measures are laid out in a generic Environmental Management Plan (EMP) included in the IEE, and contractors will be responsible developing site- EMPs based on the generic EMP (see IEE paragraph 32 and Table 8).

12. Indigenous peoples/ethnic groups (category B). The project will not have significant adverse impacts on ethnic group youth or adults. Conversely, improved access, learning, and employment outcomes are expected to particularly benefit ethnic group youth. Consistent with ADB’s SPS, EYE is categorized as “B” and an Ethnic Group Plan (EGP) was agreed to enhance project benefits to ethnic group youth, teachers, and other stakeholders. The EGP lays out actions across all 3 EYE outputs, including measures to (for example) ensures that (i) analysis, policy and institutional capacity development, and project-wide monitoring and evaluation include ethnic group dimensions; (ii) the new national SES curriculum and SES and TVET learning materials are sensitive to ethnic group dimensions; (iii) ethnic group youth are prioritized for SES and TVET dormitory support and TVET stipends.

E. Summary of Overall Implementation Progress

5 Infrastructure and service development category, EIA procedures (2015). 4

13. EYE has gained momentum following start-up delays. As of 30 June 2020, measured against the period from loan effectiveness (19 June 2017) to scheduled closure (30 June 2023), the elapsed period is 54%. Out of the total loan amount of $98.49 million, EYE has achieved confirmed cumulative contract awards of $41.4 million (42.0%) and cumulative disbursements of $19.2 million (19.5%).6

14. Since loan effectivity in June 2017, EYE has supported some important achievements. Among these, during May-July 2019, under EYE output 2, MOE successfully trained nearly 157,000 teachers and head teachers (doubling the DMF target for the entire project) and rolled out new grade 6 curriculum (with new textbooks and teacher guides) in middle schools nationwide. The new materials are textbooks and teacher guides are more sensitive to ethnic group, gender, disability, and other dimensions, and more relevant to Myanmar’s “soft skill” needs. During recently completed school year SY2019/20, roughly 910,000 grade 6 students benefited from improved pedagogy and textbooks. EYE has also supported MOE’s preparation of textbooks and teacher guides for grade 7 and grade 10, nationwide teacher training (currently ongoing), and other preparations for nationwide introduction of the new grade 7 and 10 curricula nationwide in SY2020/21 (delayed by COVID-19). As part of EYE’s output 3 support to TVET, DTVET and MOPFI-DIC have completed civil works to construct new workshop buildings and dorms to support expansion of TVET short-courses.

15. At the same time, EYE has made mixed progress in recovering from start-up delays and has faced some implementation challenges. Among these, design and procurement of output 2 civil works to upgrade 48 existing schools (which is the focus of EYE’s IEE) was delayed: contracting for 45 of 48 sites was completed on 30 March 2020, and MOE is preparing to rebid civil works for 3 remaining sites. Although contracts for all 45 sites were signed on 30 March 2020, to varying degrees by site, construction was delayed at least modestly due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, including restrictions on travel and mobilization of laborers to the sites. Following confirmation of work planning in April, civil works commenced in May 2020. Some other EYE interventions have also faced delays. For example, under output 3, delays in procurement of equipment, social marketing activities, and other interventions have meant that only 5 of 15 TVET schools have commenced offering competency-based modular short courses, and the launch of programs at 10 additional schools has now been further delayed by COVID-19. As a result, progress against targets for total numbers of trainees, female trainees, and ethnic group trainees is lagging.

16. Discussions between MOE, MOPFI-DIC, and ADB during a 4-10 December 2019 ADB Special Administration Mission for EYE and follow-up discussions have identified a series of agreed actions to help build on achievements to date, address pending challenges, and accelerate overall progress.

II. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD MONITORING

17. At the time of the previous EMR report, construction activities for output 2 civil works (the focus of the IEE) had been targeted to start in Februrary 2020. However, this timeline slipped due to time required to respond to ADB comments on the bid evaluation reports (ADB provided no- objection on 11 February), time required for contract signing (on 30 March), and subsequent delays due to the COVID-19 situation and travel restrictions, which also led to postponement of

6 Confirmed contract awards and disbursements refer to figures confirmed in ADB’s official Loan Financial Information System (LFIS). For example, they exclude contracts signed by the PMU but not yet submitted to ADB and validated in LFIS, while they include the full amount of advance fund advances upon release from ADB. 5

field visits by the Environmental Specialist and other PMU team members. The PMU and PIC will ensure timely submission of quarterly reports in the future.

18. As noted above, EYE-supported civil works is relatively minor in nature and confined to existing school sites. ADB required preparation of an IEE linked to civil works for upgrading of 48 existing schools under EYE output 2 to address potential risks to young children on-site during the construction period. Measures are laid out in the IEE, which includes a generic EMP that will provide the basis for site-EMPs to be developed by contractors following contracting. Post- approval discussions confirmed that the generic EMP included in the IEE were appropriate with only minor editorial revisions: the final generic EMP is in Appendix 1. Monitoring is based on Generic EMP (Appendix 1) and monitoring checklist (Appendix 11).

19. Grievance redress mechanism (GRM) updates. The GRM continues to function and there have been no complaints related to the project (submitted via the GRM or otherwise) in the current reporting period or during the entire project to date. Within the project’s overall GRM, MOE has set up a specific mechanism to handle any grievances that may arise linked to output 2 civil works. Per Appendix 2 (which elaborates on IEE Section VIII), this GRM principally consists of 2 tiers7: (i) GRM Tier 1 (Site-level). Grievances will initially be raised at the site-level. The contractor will establish a telephone hotline and focal point staff, and will promptly discuss complaints with the school authorities (typically the principal). The school principal may also discuss issues, as needed, with the village administrator and township education school upgrading coordinator (TESUC). (ii) GRM Tier 2 (Central-level). If a grievance cannot be resolved at the site-level within 15 days, the school principal will report the case to the PMU, which will call a meeting of the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) that MOE has established for output 2 civil works. This GRC consists principally of the Project Director, Project Manager, and representatives of DBE.8 If necessary, the GRC will convene a hearing including the affected person and contractor. The GRC will make all due efforts to identify corrective measures within fifteen (15) working days. For complex issues, where the GRC is unable to expeditiously reach a clear decision within 15 working days and needs to seek guidance from the MOE Executive Committee or other entities, the GRC will inform the parties (typically via the school principal) that more review is needed and will provide an estimated timeline for reaching a decision.

20. On 30 March the PMU oriented contractors for the 45 awarded sits on grievance redress and other aspects of the IEE, EGP (included in the contract), etc. As noted in Section II.A below, contractors for all 45 sites have (as required in the contract) established and prominently posted a telephone hotline to receive any community concerns.

21. Other loan covenants. EYE continues to substantively comply with safeguard-related covenants in the Loan Agreement, as outlined in Appendix 3. These include covenants related to implementation of environmental safeguards, which is elaborated in the paragraphs below.

22. Environmental safeguard measures in the IEE and generic EMP principally refer to actions to be taken by contractors after contract award. As noted, 17 contracts spanning 45 of 48 sites

7 Beyond these 2 formal tiers, if a grievance cannot be resolved directly by this two-tier process, or the affected person is unsatisfied with the GRC’s decision, he/she may seek alternative redress (e.g., via court). 8 As needed, the GRC may also request participation by representatives of the TEO and school (e.g., the TESUC and school principal) and invite the contractor with observer status. 6 were signed on 30 March 2020, as tabulated in Appendix 4, while tendering for 3 remaining sites is targeted to commence in July 2020. Appendix 5 outlines safeguard-related activities prior to contracting the 45 sites (as reported in the last EMR). Section II.A below updates safeguard implementation for the 45 contracted since the last EMR, and Section II.B reports on pre- contracting preparatory activities for the remaining 3 sites.

A. Updated Safeguard Monitoring for 45 Contracted Sites

23. The PMU and DBE have confirmed all tasks shown below have been completed.

(i) The school principal has appointed a staff member for day-to-day supervision of civil works activities; (ii) The contractor has developed a site-EMP complying with the generic construction EMP) and responding to contract clauses and specifications; (iii) The contractor has secured all required permits for construction and rehabilitation; and (iv) The contractor has assigned a qualified person to coordinate site-EMP implementation, established a hotline, and disclosed civil works and site-EMP related information in and around the construction site.

24. Local supervision structures. Consistent with the IEE, each of the 48 Township Education Offices (TEOs) have assigned 1 focal staff—typically the Deputy Township Education Officer (Administration/Finance)—to serve as the TESUC.9 In addition, Township Construction Committees have been established to support ongoing monitoring during the construction stage per approved terms of reference (TOR).10 The PMU promptly informed the TEOs and TESUC that contracts were signed for 45 sites on 30 March, while rebidding is targeted to commence in July for 3 remaining sites. A planned central-level SES civil works orientation meeting with all the stakeholders (contractors, QC team, TEOs, Principal, PMU, DERPT, DBE and MOE’s quality control committee) was postponed due to COVID-19. However, as noted below, contractors of the 45 school sites conducted the consultation meetings with Township Construction Committee Members (TEO, DTEO, Village administrator, PTA and Principal) at their respective school sites in April 2020.

25. Contractor mobilization, preparation of site-EMPs, and GRM implementation. Upon site mobilization, contractors also met in April 2020 with the township construction committees, which include (among others) representatives of the Township Education Office, school principal, village-level local administration, and representatives of the school’s parent-teacher association (PTA; including at least one female PTA member). Like community consultations conducted prior to contracting11 (see Appendix 6), these meetings in April 2020 (see Appendix 7) confirmed strong support for EYE assistance and no grievances or other significant concerns have been raised. For the 45 contracted sites, the Environmental Specialist delivered a session on construction- related safeguard measures to all contractors on 30 March 2020. Based on the generic EMP (see Appendix 1), each contractor then developed a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for each site. All CEMP were submitted by contractors by 9 April 2020 and certified by DBE and approved by Project Director, EYE-PMU by 29 April 2020 (see illustrative example in Annex 1). Contractor health and safety plans for COVID-19 were submitted for all sites by 27

9 This term will be used in place of “PMU local project coordinator” used in the IEE. 10 The DBE-approved TORs of TCC and TESUC (both English and Myanmar version) have been disseminated to all the Township Construction Committee members as well as contractors for the 45 contracted school sites. 11 During 2018-19, DBE, the PMU, township education office (TEO) staff, and consultants conducted a series of consultations and site visits at the state/region, township, and community level, including a final round of site visits and community consultations at the 48 sites in September-October 2019 by TEO. 7

April 2020, and certified by DBE and approved by Project Director, EYE-PMU on 30 April 2020 (see illustrative example in Annex 2). In addition, the contractors have submitted the site mobilization reports along with the work programs, method of statements, personnel and equipment lists as required by the contractual terms and conditions which have been reviewed and approved by DBE and Project Director on 2nd April 2020.

26. Contractor meetings with Township Construction Committees (TCCs) at school sites in April 2020 led to TCC approval for the commencement of civil works at all sites: DERPT, DBE and PMU recorded all these TCC approval letters (see Appendix 7). These meetings also briefed TCCs and other community members on the GRM.

27. Contractors for all 45 sites have (as required in the contract) established, staffed, and prominently posted a telephone hotline to receive any community concerns (see Appendix 7).

28. Implementation of the site-EMP. Contractors for all 45 contracted sites are taking overall responsibility for the site EMP implementation and covering the costs for mitigation and protection measures (see Appendix 7). For each site, contractors have assigned a qualified person to coordinate the site-EMP implementation (see Appendix 9). In terms of potential noise pollution, only relatively light machinery has been used (e.g., small-scale concrete mixer used in casting works). No significant dust pollution occurred, and contractors regularly spray water to prevent dust from site activities and road access. No complaints have been received so far

29. As an extension of site-EMPs, following ADB’s memo dated 21 May regarding risks from COVID-19, per PMU memo to ADB dated 29 June 2020, DBE reviewed all the site health and safety plans (HSPs) submitted by the contractors and found them acceptable and in line with MOHS health guidelines for construction works during the COVID-19 period. Contractors have commenced HSP implementation, and based on MOE assessment, no significant risks of infection and spread of virus is observed since the project areas are not in the infected zones as reported by the MOHS. The PMU will continue ensuring that risk assessment and risk mitigation measures will be reflected in future quarterly project progress reports and environmental safeguards monitoring reports.

30. Site inspections, monitoring, and public consultation by the school principal, TESUC, and external quality control team. Principals and TESUC for the 45 contracted sites have commenced regular monitoring and public consultations, and will submit formal reports following the site inspection and monitoring checklist developed for that purpose (Appendix 11) starting in July 2020: these will be reported in the next Environmental Monitoring Report. An external quality control team subcontracted under the PIC to conduct site monitoring (including quality control, construction progress, and environmental safety and health implementation) has commenced site inspections, though COVID-19 travel restrictions have caused delays in visiting some sites. In addition, DBE has established a dedicated viber group for this EYE civil works to support regular communication and real-time updates of progress and/or any issues linking DBE, the PMU, the external quality control team, contractors’ authorized representatives, and site managers/engineers.

31. Monitoring and reporting by the environment specialist. The PMU and EYE consultants, on the day of contract signing (30 March 2020), oriented contractors on EMP implementation, grievance redress and other aspects of the IEE, EGP (included in the contract), and have finalized the noted dormitory management guidelines. The environment specialist has had to postpone visits to most sites due to COVID-19 travel restrictions but will visit all sites as noted in Section III.B. 8

32. Further actions for the 45 awarded sites that are planned as of 30 June 2020 are outlined in Section III.B below.

B. Preparatory Activities for Contracting of 3 Remaining Sites

33. As noted above, 3 sites require rebidding: (i) BHS (Kyaung U) in Padaung Township in Bago (West); (ii) BEPPS (Pay Pin) in Kangyidaunt Township in Ayeyarwady; and (iii) BEPPS (Kha Mauk Maw) in Ngapudaw Township in Ayeyarwady. The PMU prepared ICB bid documents and draft contracts that include relevant contents of the IEE and attach the IEE and generic EMP (as well as the EGP), which will form part of the contract—Update note: ADB provided the NOL for the ICB bidding documents on 9 July 2020.

34. As with the original ICB bidding, the PMU will arrange a pre-bid meeting briefed bidder on the generic EMP and the need for contractors to prepare and ensure implementation of site-EMPs based on this after contract award but before construction commencement (per paragraph 39 of the IEE).

III. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

A. Overall Conclusions

35. Environmental safeguards in the IEE (which covers upgrading of 48 existing schools) are being implemented in the 45 existing school sites that were contracted on 30 March 2020, despite some challenges due to COVID-19. Rebidding for the 3 remaining sites is targeted to commence in July, and preparatory activities have ensured compliance with the IEE. Among these, as in the case of the 45 contracts signed to date, draft contracts include the IEE and Generic EMP, based on which contractors will prepare site-EMPs prior to commencing civil works. Follow-up actions are identified below. The report is up to June so July/August activities will be added in the next EMR report.

B. Follow-up Actions

36. For the 45 sites contracted (in 17 contracts), post-contracting steps are generally well underway (though at early stages), with some follow-up actions noted above. Following COVID- 19-related delays in site visits, the PMU has planned an initial round of SES civil work monitoring site visits in August 2020 to 19 school sites with relatively quick progress visit (see Appendix 10)— Update note: these were completed in August. PMU will develop the SES civil work monitoring site visit plan for the remaining 26 school sites in early October 2020. In addition:

(i) Throughout the construction period, contractors will continue assuming overall responsibility for the site-EMP implementation, and will submit to the PMU, TESUC and the school principal updated work program/progress reports that include a section on the site-EMP implementation, every 60 days as required by the contractual terms and conditions. The updated work program/progress report will be checked and verified by the QC team, DBE and PMU and approved by the Project Director; (ii) At least quarterly during the construction period, the TESUC and school principal will conduct regular site inspections to oversee the contractor’s compliance with the site- EMP, using the site inspection and monitoring checklist in Appendix 11, for submission to the PMU. The PMU to summarize findings in quarterly environmental monitoring 9

reports to ADB (which will be publicly disclosed), and will ensure prompt response to any emergent issues; (iii) At least twice (at the beginning of civil works, and at completion stage), the environment specialist will conduct site visits to each output 2 civil works site, with findings incorporated in the site visit reports which will also be shared with the contractor for corrective actions (if any) as needed. In addition, the summary of the site visit findings related to contractors’ implementation of the site EMP will also be presented to DBE, Contractors and QC team at the civil works coordination meeting planned every 60 days after the receipt of the program update and site inspection and monitoring checklist; and (iv) The PMU and EYE consultants will support DBE in conducting the additional activities linked to school upgrading including (a) further briefings for selected contractors; (b) further capacity development for TEOs, principals, and other school staff; (c) further dissemination of the GRM to communities; and (d) reporting in EYE quarterly progress reports.

37. The PMU will submit the next quarterly environmental monitoring report by end October 2020. Progress in implementing environmental safeguards will also be jointly reviewed as part of the ADB Midterm Review Mission for EYE (date to be set after the COVID-19 situation is clearer). 10

V. APPENDIX 2: GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM (GRM) FOR EYE OUTPUT 2 CIVIL WORKS

MOE has established a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) specifically to handle any grievances that may arise linked to output 2 civil works. This GRM principally consists of 2 tiers at the site- and central-levels.

38. GRM Tier 1 (Site-level). Per the IEE, the contractor shall (i) disseminate in timely manner information on the construction progress, including anticipated activities that might cause safety risk; (ii) establish a telephone hotline to receive community complaints, staffed at all times during working hours; and (iii) assign a qualified person to coordinate the site-EMP implementation and the complaint hotline. Hotline and other relevant contact details shall be prominently displayed at the sites. Community members should raise any grievances through this hotline, to ensure such grievances are systematically recorded by the contractor. In addition to reporting via the contractor’s hotline, community members may also discuss issues directly with school staff (typically the principal). Contractors will promptly discuss complaints with the school principal. The school principal may also discuss issues, as needed, with the village administrator, TESUC, and/or township construction committee. The complaints received shall be resolved with the support of the school principal and contractors’ representative within 15 days of the receipt of the complaint. The contractor shall maintain a log of the complaints received specifying the key details of the complaint as well as resolution details. These should be forwarded to the PMU office on a quarterly basis. In cases where issues cannot be resolved within 15 days, the school principal should promptly report such cases to the PMU via the environmental specialist.

39. GRM Tier 2 (Central-level). Per above, if the complaint is not resolved at the site-level, the complaint will be escalated to the PMU level. The PMU will then organize an initial meeting(s) of the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) that MOE has established for output 2 civil works. This GRC consists principally of the Project Director, Project Manager, and representatives of DBE.13 As needed, the GRC may also request participation by representatives of the TEO and school (e.g., the TESUC and school principal) and invite the contractor with observer status. If necessary, the GRC will convene a hearing including the affected person and contractor, where the affected person can present his/her concern/issues. The process will facilitate resolution through mediation. For complex issues, the GRC may also seek guidance from the MOE Executive Committee. The GRC will suggest corrective measures at the field level and assign clear responsibilities for implementing its decision. The GRC will make all due efforts to provide such decision within fifteen (15) working days. For complex issues, where the GRC is unable to expeditiously reach a clear decision within 15 working days and needs to seek guidance from the MOE Executive Committee and/or other entities, the GRC will inform the parties (typically via the school principal) that more review is needed and will provide an estimated timeline for reaching a decision.

40. Additional recourse. In the event that a grievance cannot be resolved directly by this two-tier process, or the affected person is unsatisfied with the GRC’s decision, the existence of the GRC shall not impede the complainant’s access to the Government’s judicial or administrative remedies: e.g., the affected person can seek alternative redress through an appropriate court.

13 Per the IEE, the GRC functions with regards to environmental concerns are as follows: (i) resolve problems and provide support to affected persons arising from various health and safety and environmental issues including hampering of utilities, power and water supply, waste disposal, traffic interference and public safety; (ii) reconfirm grievances of affected persons, categorize and prioritize them and aim to provide solutions within a month; and (iii) report to the aggrieved parties about developments regarding their grievances and decisions of the GRC. 18

41. Quarterly environmental monitoring reports shall include the following aspects pertaining to progress on grievances: (i) number of cases registered with the GRC, level of jurisdiction, number of hearings held, decisions made, and the status of pending cases; and (ii) lists of cases in process and already decided upon may be prepared with details such as Name, ID with unique serial number, date of notice, date of application, date of hearing, decisions, remarks, actions taken to resolve issues and status of grievance.

VIII. APPENDIX 5: IEE-RELATED ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO CONTRACTING OF 45 SITES AWARDED ON 30 MARCH 2020

The PPTA (TA 8915) supported MOE’s identification of a provisional list of 48 existing school sites in 48 townships for upgrading support under EYE output 2, as well as additional candidate school sites in each township. Per paragraphs 25 and 29 of the IEE, “The final list of schools to be targeted under the EYE project will be decided after full consultation between the PMU and DBE and approval from the GOM, and fully aligned with GOM prioritized programs for upgrading of SES schools… following completion of the 2016 MOE school mapping exercise (supported by UNESCO): any revisions in the list will be mutually agreed by MOE and ADB, with additional site investigations conducted and documented in summary site reports, which will include assessment of health, safety, and other environmental risks and mitigation measures.”

Consistent with the IEE, updated analysis and consultations informed finalization of the site list (see Appendix 2). Since the UNESCO-supported school mapping exercise was delayed, ADB staff and TA 8915 consultants supported DBE to update school network mapping and analysis of school-level dropout in the 48 townships using 2018 DBE data (see Appendix 8). In parallel, during 2018-19, DBE, the PMU, township education office (TEO) staff, and consultants conducted a series of consultations and site visits at the state/region, township, and community level. A final round of site visits and community consultations at the 48 sites in September-October 2019 by TEO and the consultation meetings with contractors and Township Construction Committee Members (TEO, DTEO, Village administrator, PTA and Principal) were held for confirmation of work schedule also included a briefing for communities on the grievance redress mechanism. Another round of consultations for the 3 remaining existing school sites to be rebid is planned soon after the rebidding process is underway, assuming no COVID-19 outbreaks.

As summarized in Appendix 6, various community consultations and summary site reports to date confirmed (i) strong community support for school upgrading; (ii) health and safety risks communities are modest and can be addressed by EMP implementation; (iii) there are no other significant environmental issues.

Per updated government procedures, since EYE is a centrally-managed project and all sites were reconfirmed to be within existing DBE-administered schools, DBE obtained necessary clearances from the village, township, and state/region levels and subsequently approved school upgrading plans at each site. Following endorsement by DG, DBE, the MOE Executive Committee endorsed the final detailed school upgrading designs, which are compliant with relevant building codes and MOE’s Safe and Child-Friendly School Construction Guidelines, are disaster-resistant, and accommodate design features to support access by disabled students. The Ministry of Planning, Finance and Industry approved MOE’s budget proposal for EYE output 2 civil works in the FY2019/20 budget. In addition, for each site (1 per township), a township construction committee has been established to support preparations and to periodically review the progress and quality of works during the construction stage. Each township construction committee is chaired by the Township Education Officer, and includes at minimum the Deputy Township Education Officer, school principal, village-level local administration, and representatives of the school’s parent-teacher association (PTA; including at least one female PTA member).

Based on this and following MOE Executive Committee endorsement and ADB reviews, the PMU proceeded with tendering using international competitive bidding (ICB) in accordance with ADB’s Procurement Guidelines (2015). School upgrading at 48 school sites was divided into a total of 18 lots. Bid documents and draft contracts included relevant 32

contents of the IEE and attach the generic EMP and IEE, which form part of the contract. In addition, the pre-bid meeting briefed bidders on the generic EMP and the need for contractors to prepare and ensure implementation of site-EMPs based on this after contract award but before construction commencement (per paragraph 39 of the IEE).

Bidding was generally successful for 17 of 18 lots, resulting in 30 March 2020 awarding of 17 contracts spanning 45 of 48 sites, as is tabulated in Appendix 2. Rebidding is targeted to commence in July for 3 sites in Padaung, Kangyidaunt, and Ngapudaw Townships (revised draft ICB bidding documents submitted for ADB review on 7 July): (i) BHS (Kyaung U) in Padaung Township in Bago (West); (ii) BEPPS (Pay Pin) in Kangyidaunt Township in Ayeyarwady; and (iii) BEPPS (Kha Mauk Maw) in Ngapudaw Township in Ayeyarwady.

IX. APPENDIX 6: SUMMARY OF FINDINGS FROM COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO CONTRACTING 45 SITES

1. During 2018-19, DBE, the PMU, township education office (TEO) staff in the 48 selected townships, and consultants conducted a series of consultations and site visits at the state/region, township, and community level. This included a final round of site visits and community consultations at the 48 sites in September-October 2019 by TEO. Consultations confirmed strong support for EYE assistance to upgrade facilities at existing school sites. Key findings are highlighted below.

2. Community support for school upgrading. All 48 communities showed strong overall support for the provision of classroom blocks, dormitories, and toilet facilities. They hope civil works can proceed as quickly as possible, as improved teaching and learning facilities are urgently needed to reduce dropout and improve education quality. In particular, the introduction of student dormitories will allow students from more remote areas to continue schooling, have more time to study, and live in a safer/better environment. Consultations assured community members that facilities were designed in compliance with relevant construction standards and high-quality specifications. Communities also look forward to EYE’s planned provision of equipment and resources for classrooms, and requested EYE also provide materials for support sports and other activities.

3. Health and safety risks and mitigation mechanisms. Local officials, principals/teachers, and community members are aware of potential risks to health and safety, particularly for young students during the construction phase. However, they are not overly concerned and are confident such risks can be mitigated by implementation of EMPs (e.g., fencing off excavation areas, etc.). School staff and village committee members confirmed they will actively supervise and work together with the contractor to prevent health and safety risks of students. Consultations also confirmed that construction would be periodically monitored by TEOs, PMU officers, and quality supervision consultants being mobilized under the EYE PIC contract. For all sites, classroom blocks and dormitories include disaster resilient design features to withstand both earthquakes and cyclone-level winds. Designs for geographical locations categorized as at high risk of flooding are additionally flood resistant. Site inspections also confirmed that there is no presence of hazardous materials such as asbestos or asbestos containing materials (ACM) or toxic paints. Road access to the school construction site is confirmed available, with adequate measures to be taken to ensure safety of students.

4. Other environmental dimensions. As civil works is relatively minor and confined to existing school sites, and none of the sites is in or immediately adjacent to protected or environmentally fragile areas, further site investigations and consultations confirmed that there are no significant issues. Minor issues are principally dust and noise during construction, which contractors will minimize as part of the site EMPs. All sites are confirmed free of unexploded ordinance (UXO). Site drainage and construction waste disposal will be adequate, with no risk of flood or landslide.

5. Other issues. No major concerns were raised, but some community members requested that (a) contractors and construction workers be respectful of communities and avoid drug use, gambling, etc.; and (b) contractors try to hire and fairly compensate local labor.

XI. APPENDIX 8: ILLUSTRATION OF TOWNSHIP SELECTION AND SCHOOL NETWORK MAPPING

The project-preparatory technical assistance (TA 8915) for the Equipping Youth for Employment Project (EYE) supported the Ministry of Education in prioritization of states/regions and townships based on criterial including high total dropout after primary school (large numbers of rural youth completing primary school but never entering or completing middle school), including due to lack of facilities at middle and high school levels in rural areas. From the list of candidate townships, randomization was used to select the final 48 townships. This is illustrated in Figure 1 below and detailed at https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/linked-documents/48431-003-sd-01.pdf

Figure 1

ADB staff and TA 8915 consultants subsequently supported DBE to update school network mapping and analysis of school-level dropout in the 48 townships using 2018 MOE Department of Basic Education (DBE) data. This included quantitative analysis to estimate school-level dropout after grade 5, as well as further geographic information system (GIS) mapping to identify areas in townships with large catchment areas with many children underserved by middle or high schools: e.g.,  areas with numerous primary and post-primary schools (BEPPS) nearby, but without middle or high schools nearby, that could benefit from upgrading of a BEPPS to a middle school and provision of sex-segregated dormitories;  areas with numerous primary, post-primary, and middle schools nearby, but without full-fledged high schools (BEHS), that could benefit from upgrading of branch high school (BHS) to a BEHS and provision of sex-segregated dormitories (Figure 2). 41

Implement temperature screening and recording daily attendance of all the construction workers and visitors before access to the site. Access to the site will be restricted to anyone with high fever of 38°C or more and symptoms. They will be requested to consult a doctor or health specialist at the clinic immediately. Encourage the workers to stay at home as much as possible after work and advise them not to work at site if they are sick. Ensure that the construction workers and visitors properly wash their hands installed at the guard post before access to the site. Ensure that all construction workers wear the facial masks at all time and maintain social distancing of 2 meters (6 feet) from each other and avoid large group of workers and unnecessary overlap of the construction workers and any physical contact with each other. All the construction engineers and workers shall avoid any physical contact with people outside the site area. Maintain that the project site area is clean at all times and the waste (other than the construction materials) are properly disposed at the designated area. Report to the local health office/authorities if any suspected case with COVI D-19 symptoms are observed at site. And in such cases, all the construction activities shall be delayed and only be resumed with the approval from local school and health authorities. Ensure that the assigned EHS at site monitors the implementation of the HSP and provides implementation updates in updated work program every 60 days.
