    Section 4 – Financial Proposal – Standard Forms1 Section 5. Terms of Reference Public Disclosure Authorized for the Preparation of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The prospective site of Rogun hydro power plant (HPP) is located about 110 km (by road on M41) ENE of Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. Construction at an existing site was started during Soviet times, thus the proposed location is defined by already existing built assets (esp. underground works) and auxiliary infrastructure, such as office buildings, construction camps and access roads, some of which have deteriorated since construction was halted in the early 1990s. Public Disclosure Authorized 2. The World Bank has accepted the request of the Government of Republic of Tajikistan (the Government) to finance an assessment of the Completion of the Rogun Hydroelectric Project (HPP), which the Government considers as an important element of the country‘s economic development strategy. 3. The Assessment would comprise two complementary parts – (i) Technical-Economic and (ii) Environmental-Social including riparian issues and cross border impacts. Consulting services will be rendered by two separate firms for these two parts, while the work is to be carried out in parallel and in an interactive manner. The two sets of Assessment studies would be professionally reviewed on a running basis by two International Independent Panels of Experts (PoE), one for techno-economic and Public Disclosure Authorized dam safety, the other for environmental/social aspects. 4. The work would include assessment of all the previous work done to date. The most relevant reports/documents that need to be reviewed are: Rogun HEP Technical Project, 1980, by Hydroproject Tashkent, technical projects/documents done in 2008-2009 by design institutes Hydroproject and Moshydrostal.

This Social and Gender Impact Assessment Report has been prepared for the Obigarm- Nurobod Road Project. The project road is approximately 75 km and replaces a section of the existing M 41 highway which will become congested due to the construction of the Rogun Hydropower (HPP) project. The Project road passes through mountainous terrain, traversing Rogun and Nurobod districts. It directly affects 17 villages in these two districts (Hukumats). 2. The proposed Project will restore and improve connectivity between Dushanbe, the northeast region of Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic via the M41 highway, which is located on Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) corridors 2, 3, and 5. The proposed project will also serve 17 villages and communities located along the proposed bypass road and other villages and settlements that are located away from the main road but presently rely on the existing M41 highway for access to economic opportunities and social services.

    Rapid Emergency Assessment & Coordination Team | Tajikistan REACT Earthquake in Rasht valley, Direct Rule Districts Tajikistan Situation Report № 4 29 May 2012 Situation Overview A 5.7 Richter scale earthquake occurred on the night of May 13th, 2012 in the Rasht valley, central Tajikistan. The earthquake affected the three districts of Nurabad, Rasht and Tavildara (at least 12 villages), killing 2 and affecting an estimated of 1,591 people. On May 27th, at 21:24 another earthquake of 4 Richter scale occurred, with an epicenter 15 km north‐west from Tavildara district. Fortunately, earthquake did not cause any further causalities or damages to property. Assessment of all the affected locations has been completed by district level Commissions on Emergency Situations (Commission), chaired by the relevant Head of the district and consisting of representatives of the relevant civil services. The finalized damage information indicates that total of 103 houses and 3 schools were destroyed/severely damaged (unsafe for residence) and 117 houses, 7 schools, 3 hospitals/medical points were partially damaged. SHELTER The Government (State Reserve Agency) provided a total of 232 tents (132 summer and 100 winter tents) to the residents of the destroyed and damaged houses immediately after the earthquake. Nonetheless, due to unfavorable weather conditions (low weather temperature and intensive precipitation) majority of the affected families are hosted by their relatives and neighbors or within the local mosques during the nighttime. Currently, State Agency for Construction and Architecture has been tasked to develop designs and estimations for (re)construction of damaged/destroyed houses, schools and hospitals. Based on the finalized designs and estimations, required quantity of construction materials will be provided by the national authorities to the affected households for further (re)construction of the houses.
