EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background. After the successful implementation of the First and Second Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Projects (UGIIP-1 and 2)1 in 77 elected pourashavas, the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) within the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (MLGRDC) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have planned to implement the third phase of the project. The Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Project (UGIIP III) was initially proposed to be implemented in selected 30 pourashavas over a period of 6 years (2014 to 2020). Implementation of the subprojects is spread over 3 phases covering the entire 6-year project implementation period. Five new pourashavas were added to the list in 2016, under proposed additional financing for UGIIP-3, including Cox’s Bazar, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Kustia and Mymensingh.
The impact will be improved quality of life and living environment in project towns. The outcome will be improved municipal service delivery and urban governance in project towns. A sector-lending approach will be used for the project as it has been successful in UGIIP-1 and 2. LGED and Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) are the executing agencies of the project.
Subproject Description. The list of proposed subproject components involving civil works in Faridpur in Phase II of UGIIP-3 comprises of 62 roads and 24 drains; and improvement of existing 9 solid waste transfer stations. Purchase (through negotiated settlement) of a solid waste management landfill site is also proposed in Phase II. In Phase III of UGIIP-3, construction of the landfill facility is proposed. The total length of the roads and drains are respectively; 55.253 km and 25.862 km comprising of 11 contract packages for the linear components.
The subprojects to be implemented meet the selection criteria (general and technical), underwent environmental and social safeguard screening and conform to the master plan prepared for Faridpur.2
Resettlement Plan. This Draft Resettlement Plan (RP) for Faridpur pourashava is prepared for roads and drainage contract packages (i) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/DR-01/2017, (ii) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/DR-02/2017, (iii) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/DR-03/2017, (iv) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT- 01/2017; (v) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT-02/2017, (vi) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT-03/2017, (vii) UGIIP III- II/AF/FARI/UT-04/2017; (viii) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT+DR-01/2017, (ix) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT+DR- 02/2017, (x) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT+DR-03/2017, and (xi) UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT+DR-04/2017 proposed for implementation in Phase 2 of UGIIP-3 – additional financing. In addition, the RP also addresses involuntary resettlement impacts of the proposed solid waste management facilities. This RP is based on ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009, and Government of Bangladesh laws. This RP will be updated during detailed design based on detailed measurement surveys, and also in case of any changes and latest subproject designs. Safeguard document for Phase 3 works are also prepared as per agreed Resettlement Framework.
1 The Government of Bangladesh with the assistance of ADB has introduced a system whereby funds/loans for development are disbursed in a phased manner based on the successful accomplishment by the recipient pourashavas of a set of performance-criteria in the area of urban governance. UGIIP I and II reflect this approach which aims to incentivize participating pourashavas to become well-managed and maintained towns in a sustainable way through systems of governance ensuring citizen’s participation and inclusion of women, poor and the minority groups in pourashava activities. UGIIP I targeted for 30 and UGIIP II 47 pourashavas. The subprojects were (i) watersupply (ii) sanitation, (iii) solid waste management, (iv) urban drainage, (v) urban transport & communication and (vi) public use facilities. 2 Master plans are prepared under LGED’s District Towns Infrastructure Development Project and Urban Towns Infrastructure Development Project
Scope of Land Acquisition and resettlement. The scope of land acquisition and resettlement is identified based on subproject selection and field visits to each site and/or alignment. No major IR impacts are envisaged as as the roads and drainage components will be located along existing roads and drainage rights-of-way (ROW) and government- owned lands, while the solid waste landfill facility will be created on private land proposed to be obtained through negotiated settlement.3 In case of drainage alignments D-2 and D-23, a disagreement over ownership of RoW between the pourashava and 41 individuals due to anticipated structure loss came to light during census surveys, however, the Mayor of the pourashava, the highest authority, has issued a letter stating all proposed alignments belong to the pourashava, hence no land acquisition is deemed necessary.4
The identified potential involuntary resettlement (IR) impacts based on the subproject designs of roads and drainage improvements include (a) major structure loss to 29 shops and 29 houses, of which only 2 tin shed shops (one each on road scheme ID R-55 and R- 64) is anticipated to suffer permanent relocation impact. All affected persons facing loss of major structures along proposed drains are expected to be able to reestablish the structures either at the same location or along the same alignment. All affected persons (except for 2 tin-shed shops, 1 on R-55 facing 80% loss of structure and another on R-64 with 100% structure loss which will require relocation) facing loss of major structures due to proposed road improvements will continue to have viable remaining structures and will not require to relocate; (b) impacts to minor structures (66 boundary walls and fences, of which 65 are privately owned); and (c) loss of 283 trees, a large number of which belong to government. The need for utility shifting (94 electricity poles) is also identified.
The due diligence report prepared for solid waste management subproject components in Faridpur reveals that 13.53 acres of land is proposed to be obtained through negotiated settlement from 14 landowners (heirs to 5 original landowners with 6 khatians). All the landowners have significant amount of additional lands elsewhere and are not likely to be significantly affected due to purchase of the land. Part of the proposed site is used for paddy cultivation (1 crop per year) and part has been leased out to a brick kiln owner. Livelihood impacts to the brick kiln owner and his 7 permanent employees are anticipated; compensation and mitigation measures for the affected persons due to loss of brick kiln are proposed in the resettlement plan for Faridpur under Phase II and III of UGIIP-3. The pourashava will accord priority to 1 job per affected household facing permanent livelihood loss, if willing and able to take up the same. The pourashava will also be required to ensure that existing 12 permanent and other temporary staff in its conservancy wing are trained and redeployed in the proposed solid waste management scheme; hence no loss of employment to existing pourashava staff is anticipated.
Categorization. The roads and drainage and solid waste management subproject components proposed for implementation in Phase 2 and 3 of UGIIP III are classified as Category B in accordance with ADB SPS, 2009. ADB’s SPS covers both temporary and permanent impacts to both titled and non-titled persons, and includes both physical and economic displacement.
Consultation and Disclosure. Goals and objectives of the project have been disclosed with the affected people and other stakeholders through a total of 12 FGDs and one consultation during July-August 2016. The project cut-off date will be established during implementation and formal disclosure of the RP.
Institutional Setup. LGED and DPHE are the executing agencies of the project.
3 ADB SPS, 2009 makes it obligatory to endorse any negotiated settlement by an independent third party evaluator (e.g. an eminent citizen of the pourashava linked to an institution). 4 The Mayor’s letter will be backed by land records, which will be appended to the updated RP.
Page 7 of 190
Implementation activities will be overseen by a Project Management Office (PMO). The participating pourashavas are the implementing agencies (IA), with a project implementation unit (PIU) within the pourashava structure. Consultant teams5 will provide support (during project implementation) for (i) detailed engineering design, contract documents preparation and safeguards facilitation; (ii) project management and administration support; (iii) assistance in supervising construction; (iii) strengthening of local governance, conducting required studies/surveys and (iv) awareness raising on behavioral change activities. Safeguards officers will be appointed in PMO and PIUs and will be responsible to undertake day to day safeguards tasks and requirements including implementation of project’s grievance redress mechanism.
Resettlement Budget and Financing Plan. The RP cost (including land cost through negotiated settlement as per details provided in solid waste management due diligence report) for the implementation of Phase 2 and 3 subprojects in Faridpur pourashava is estimated at approximately USD 1632000 which will be met from counterpart (government) funds.
5 Consultant teams are composed of Management Design and Supervision Consultants (MDSC) and
Governance Improvement and Capacity Development Consultants (GICDC).
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Introduction
1. After the successful implementation of the First and Second Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Projects (UGIIP-1 and 2)6 in 77 selected pourashavas, the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) within the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (MLGRDC) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have planned to implement the third phase of the project titled the Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Project (UGIIP III) in selected 30 pourashavas over a period of 6 years (2014 to 2020). The implementation of the subprojects are spread over 3 phases7 covering the entire 6-year project implementation period.
2. The impact will be improved living environment in project towns. The outcome will be improved municipal service delivery and urban governance in project towns. Project towns are pre-selected 30 towns to be supported in an integrated manner under the project.
3. A sector-lending approach will be used for the project as it has been well established and successfully practiced in the UGIIP-1 and 2.
1. 4. This draft RP is based on Government of Bangladesh’s Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance, 1982 (ARIPO) and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 requirements for IR category B projects. It also refers to the approved Resettlement Framework of UGIIP 3. This draft Resettlement Plan (RP) for Faridpur pourashava is based on the detailed study and detailed engineering designs prepared during project preparation of phase I. In case of any design or alignment changes or changes in components/works packages prior to implementation, this RP will have to be updated as per approved Resettlement Framework.
B. Proposed subproject components
5. The list of proposed subproject components involving civil works in Faridpur in Phase II of UGIIP-3 comprises of 62 roads and 24 drains; and improvement of existing 9 solid waste transfer stations. Purchase (through negotiated settlement) of a solid waste management landfill site is also proposed in Phase II. In Phase III of UGIIP-3, construction of the landfill facility is proposed. The total length of the roads and drains are respectively; 55.253 km and 25.862 km comprising of 11 contract packages for the linear components. The detailed list of the sub-projects with the estimated IR impacts is provided in the Table 1 below. The existing length and width of a number of drain sub-projects are currently not available. These will be added to the updated RP post measurement surveys. The photo- documentation of each sub-project is provided in Appendix 1.
6. For the proposed SWM landfill site considered for construction in Phase III of UGIIP-
6 The Government of Bangladesh with the assistance of ADB has introduced a system whereby funds/loans for development are disbursed in a phased manner based on the successful accomplishment by the recipient pourashavas of a set of performance-criteria in the area of urban governance. UGIIP I and II reflect this approach which aims to incentivize participating pourashavas to become well-managed and maintained towns in a sustainable way through systems of governance ensuring citizen’s participation and inclusion of women, poor and the minority groups in pourashava activities. UGIIP I targeted for 30 and UGIIP II for 47 pourashavas. The subprojects were (i) water supply (ii) sanitation, (iii) solid waste management, (iv) urban drainage, (v) urban transport & communication and (vi) public use facilities 7Implementation of UGIIP III is split up into 3 phases: (i) 1st phase = 18 months or 1.5 years; (ii) 2nd phase = 30 months or 2.5 years; and (iii) 3rd phase = 24 months or 2 years.

3, a separate “Due Diligence Report” (DDR) is prepared. Figures 1, 2 and 3 show the location map of Faridpur pourashava, alignment of proposed roads and proposed drainage facilities on Google Earth maps as per detailed design.
7. The subprojects to be implemented went through the process of meeting the selection criteria (general and technical), environmental and social safeguard screening8. Locations and sitting of the proposed infrastructures considered: (i) locating components on government-owned land and/or within existing right-of-way (ROW) to reduce acquisition of land, (ii) prioritizing rehabilitation over new construction; (iii) taking all possible measures in design and selection of sites to avoid resettlement impacts; (iv) avoiding where possible locations that will result in destruction/disturbance to historical and cultural places/values; (v) avoiding tree-cutting where possible; and (vi) ensuring all planning and design interventions and decisions are made in consultation with local communities and reflecting inputs from public consultation and disclosure for site selection.

C. Objectives of the Resettlement Plan
8. This Resettlement Plan (RP) for Faridpur pourashava is based on the feasibility study and detailed engineering designs under Phase I prepared during project preparation. Subsequent phases may require preparation of new RPs as per approved resettlement framework (RF).
9. This RP is based on Government of Bangladesh’s Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance, 1982 (ARIPO) and ADB SPS, 2009 requirements for IR category B projects. It is consistent with the RF for UGIIP III and has been prepared to meet the following objectives:
to describe the identified scope and extent of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement impacts as a result of identified project components, and address them through appropriate recommendations and mitigation measures in the RP; to present the socio-economic profile of the population in the project area, identify social impacts, including impacts on the poor and vulnerable, and the needs and priorities of different sections of the population, including women, poor and vulnerable; to describe the likely economic impacts and identified livelihood risks of the proposed project components; to describe the process undertaken during project design to engage stakeholders and the planned information disclosure measures and the process for carrying out consultation with affected people and facilitating their participation during project implementation; to establish a framework for grievance redressal for affected persons (APs) that is appropriate to the local context, in consultation with stakeholders; to describe the applicable national and local legal framework for the project, and define the IR policy principles applicable to the project; to define entitlements of affected persons, and assistance and benefits available under the project; to present a budget for resettlement and define institutional arrangements, implementation responsibilities and implementation schedule for resettlement implementation; and to describe the monitoring mechanism that will be used to monitor resettlement plan implementation.

II. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT
10. The scope of land acquisition and resettlement is identified based on subproject selection, field visits and census survey of each alignment of the proposed Phase 2 roads and drainage. For the SWM landfill site, this was done through field visits and socio-economic surveys, details of which are provided in the due diligence report (DDR) developed separately from this RP. Detailed designs of the proposed infrastructures considered the following to reduce land acquisition and resettlement impacts: (i) locating components on government- owned land and/or within existing right of way (ROW), (ii) prioritizing rehabilitation over new construction, (iii) avoiding where possible locations that will result in destruction/disturbance to historical and cultural places/values, (iv) avoiding tree-cutting where possible; and (v) ensuring all planning and design interventions and decisions are made in consultation with local communities and reflecting inputs from public consultation and disclosure for site selection. As a result, some measures have already been included in the subproject designs.
11. Proposed sub-projects in Faridpur pourasava will have some IR impacts due to proposed land purchase for solid waste management affecting ongoing economic activities (brick kiln) and proposed roads and drainage improvements which are likely to entail structure loss/damage and tree loss. No major IR impacts are envisaged as as the roads and drainage components will be located along existing roads and drainage rights-of-way (ROW) and Page 21 of 190 government-owned lands, while the solid waste landfill facility will be created on private land proposed to be obtained through negotiated settlement. Only in case of RoW ownership for drain alignments D-2 and D-23, the pourashava and adjacent landowners disagree over the status of ownership. During the census survey, it was found that 41 individuals (34 individuals in case of D-2 and 7 individuals in case of D-23) claim to own the land, which the pourashava authority declares as its own. The situation arises from the proposals for improvement of the drains D-2 and D-23, that are likely to affect current standing structures. The Mayor of the pourashava, who is the highest authority, has issued a written letter establishing the pourashava’s claim over the land/RoW ownership which is attached in Appendix 3; hence, no land acquisition is deemed necessary.9 It must be also noted here that the claimants (under 2 sub-projects: D-2 and D-23) could not produce any ownership documents to the census survey team during the survey. The detailed socio-economic profiles of the APs including the estimated IR impacts are also provided in Appendix 2. The list of ‘contested ownership claimants’ against the stand of the pourasava is provided in the Appendix 4. Other than D-2 and D-23 alignments, for all the remaining alignments it was found during consultations that the public strongly support the pourashava’s initiative of the civil constructions under the project as this will raise the standard of civic amenities and their quality of life, although they asked for proper compensation for the dismantling of the current standing structures.
12. In sum, the identified potential involuntary resettlement (IR) impacts based on the subproject designs of roads and drainage improvements include (a) major structure loss to 29 shops and 29 houses, of which only 2 tin shed shops (1 on road scheme ID R-55, belonging to Md. Sanaullah, and another on road scheme ID R-64, belonging to Md. Alamgir who are both not assessed to be BPL/vulnerable) is anticipated to suffer permanent relocation impact. All affected persons facing loss of major structures along proposed drains are expected to be able to reestablish the structures either at the same location or along the same alignment. All affected persons (other than 1 shop on R-55 facing 80% loss of structureand 1 shop on R-64 facing 100% structure loss) facing loss of major structures due to proposed road improvements will continue to have viable remaining structures and will not require to relocate; (b) impacts to minor structures (65 boundary walls); and (c) loss of 283 trees, a large number of which belong to government. The need for utility shifting (94 electricity poles) is also identified. The solid waste management component is anticipated to require purchase of 13.53 acres of land from 14 private landowners through negotiated settlement and is likely to affect livelihoods of a lessee (brick kiln owner) and his 7 employees. Livelihood impacts to existing conservancy staff of the pourashava (of which 12 are permanent staff and details of temporary staff are not yet available, to be added to updated DDR for solid waste management) will be avoided by ensuring their placement in jobs in the new/proposed facilities. The methodology for assessment of impacts and package-wise details of anticipated impacts are given below.
9 The issue will require to be resolved through preparation of a due diligence report for proposed alignments with details of land records/ownership (khatians) prior to start of construction, updating the RP as per results of the due diligence and detailed measurement surveys, disclosure of results of due diligence survey, further consultations with the individuals/claimants on compensation for structures as per the agreed resettlement framework, documentation of resolution of the issue and obtaining ADB and PMO approval on the updated RP with due diligence report, prior to start of construction.
A. Methodology for Assessment of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts
13. Stakeholder consultations: Comprehensive discussions with project preparation technical assistance (PPTA) consultants, Faridpur pourashava, stakeholder agencies were conducted (please see section on public consultation and information disclosure for the details).
14. Census of affected persons and inventory of affected assets: Complete census of affected households and assets, using the forms under Appendix 6 were conducted to identify entitled and non-entitled persons, vulnerable APs, inventory and remaining fixed assets of APs. The results of the census survey were subsequently analysed to determine estimated cost of IR impacts10 and establish the resettlement database to be used during project monitoring and supervision.11
B. Land Acquisition
15. Following the written assertion of RoW ownership by the highest authority of the pourashava, no land acquisition is envisaged. The landfill site (13.53 acres) is proposed to be obtained through negotiated settlement from 14 landowners, who own other land parcels elsewhere. There will be, however, some IR impacts to standing structures, boundary walls and as well as cutting of trees and removal of electric poles and transformers due to roads and drainage components and to livelihoods of 8 persons (1 brick kiln owner and 7 employees) due to proposed land purchase solid waste management facilities. The details about the APs of roads and drainage components and IR impacts to each are provided in the Appendix 2. Details of APs due to solid waste management components and inventory of loss are provided in the SWM Due Diligence Report. The estimated impacts will be further re-assessed post detailed measurement surveys, based on which this RP will be duly updated.
C. Resettlement Impacts
16. A package-wise summary of estimated resettlement impacts is provided below:
17. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/DR-01/2017: It consists of 1 drain sub-project only; D-4. 5 trees and 1 boundary wall belonging to the pourashava/government are anticipated to be affected.
18. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/DR-02/2017: The package includes 6 subprojects – all drains; D-6, D-7, D-8, D-12, D-21 and D-26. 4 subprojects have some IR impacts as follows; 5 tin-shed katcha shops and 1 boundary wall under D-6, 32 trees and 3 boundary walls under D- 8, 2 boundary walls under D-21 and 2 boundary walls and 2 semi-pucca houses (all partially
10A census of all APs with basic demographic and socioeconomic data, such as household size, age, gender (especially of the head of household), ethnicity, occupation, household income, and vulnerability; (ii) an inventory of all affected assets located within the designated alignment of the project facilities, including land of various types (residential, commercial, and agricultural) and other immovable property (buildings, fences, sheds, irrigation canals, wells, and other structures) where quantities and relevant measurements are clearly determined; and (iii) the valuation of these assets at replacement cost according to local market prices and standards of valuation, without deductions for age-related depreciation, recovery of salvageable materials, or registration fees and other transaction costs 11 Detailed measurement surveys will be conducted post finalisation of detailed design in alignment sections/sites ready for construction, and the RP updated with DMS results and ADB and PMO approval obtained on the same, prior to start of construction. Page 23 of 190 affected) under D-26.
19. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/DR-03/2017: It comprises 3 drain sub-projects; D- 3, D-10 and D-11. Of these, D-3 is likely to affect 1 semi-pucca house (partially affected), 1 boundary wall (partially affected) 5 trees and 9 electricity poles. D-10 is likely to affect 1 boundary wall and 1 semi-pucca house (partially affected). D-11 is anticipated to affect 1 boundary wall and 11 trees.
20. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT-01/2017: The package includes 11 road subprojects. Two sub-projects will have some IR impacts; R-2 affects cutting down of 50 trees owned by the government and R-19 is anticipated to partially affect 2 boundary walls.
21. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT-02/2017: The package has 14 road sub- projects, of which 7 are expected to have the following IR impacts; 25 trees to be cut down under R-8; 7 boundary walls (partially affected), 3 semi-pucca house (partially), 17 trees and removal of 3 electricity poles under R-11; cutting down of 2 trees belonging to Government of Bangladesh under R-14; shifting of 7 electricity poles under R-17; cutting down of 6 trees under R-26, shifting of 7 electricity poles under R-28; cutting down of 9 trees and 2 tin-shed shops under R-55, of which 1 belonging to Md Sanaullah (80% affected) is likely to require permanent relocation;12 and, cutting down of 5 trees under R-69.
22. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT-03/2017: The package has 12 road sub- projects. Out o this total, 2 have IR impacts; 7 boundary walls (partial), 44 trees and removal of 2 electricity poles under R-30 and cutting down of 7 trees and removal of 7 electricity poles under R-32.
23. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT-04/2017: The package has 15 road sub- projects, of which the following have IR impacts: removal of 6 electricity poles under R-40; removal of 1 tin fence of a private owner under R-42; demolition of 7 boundary walls and 2 semi-pucca houses (all partially affected) under R-43; cutting down of 25 trees under R-49; dismantling (partial) of 4 semi-pucca houses under R-52; and impacts to 2 tin-shed houses (partial) and 2 boundary walls under R-59.
24. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT+DR 01/2017: The package comprises of 1 road (R-6) and 1 drain (D-1). None have any IR impacts.
25. Contract Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT+DR-02/2017: Similar to the above package, it has 1 road (R-3) and 1 drain (D-2). While the road sub-project does not have any IR impacts, the IR impacts of the drain includes 10 boundary walls (partially affected, 2 tin fences, 15 tin- shed roadside shops, 11 semi-pucca houses (partially affected), 46 trees and 46 electricity poles.
26. Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT+DR-03/2017: The package includes 8 sub-projects; 5 drains and 3 roads. The IR impacts are; 3 boundary walls (fully affected) under R-13; shifting of 7 electricity poles under R-18; 9 boundary walls and 2 semi pucca house partially affected); 1 boundary wall partially affected under D-9; 6 tin-shed kutcha roadside shops and 1 boundary wall under D-23.
12 Since R-55 and R-64 are road subprojects where sufficient space may not be available post implementation, relocation impact is considered in this RP. Need for relocation will be verified during detailed measurement survey, and the RP updated, as required.
27. Package UGIIP III-II/AF/FARI/UT+DR-04/2017: The package includes 12 sub-projects in total; 5 roads and 7 drains. The IR impacts are; 1 tin-shed road side shop under R-64 (belonging to Md. Alamgir) fully affected and requiring relocation; 2 boundary walls (partial) under D-14 and 1 semi-pucca house (partial) under D-25.
28. The due diligence report prepared for solid waste management subproject components in Faridpur reveals that 13.53 acres of land is proposed to be obtained through negotiated settlement from 14 landowners (heirs to 5 original landowners with 6 khatians). All the landowners have significant amount of additional lands elsewhere and are not likely to be significantly affected due to purchase of the land. Part of the proposed site is used for paddy cultivation (1 crop per year) and part has been leased out to a brick kiln owner. Livelihood impacts to the brick kiln owner (who is not assessed to belong to vulnerable group) and his 7 permanent employees (all assessed to belong to BPL category) are anticipated; compensation and mitigation measures for the affected persons due to loss of brick kiln are proposed in the resettlement plan for Faridpur under Phase II and III of UGIIP-3. The pourashava will be required to ensure 1 job per affected household facing permanent livelihood loss, if they are willing and able to take up the same. The pourashava will also be required to ensure that existing 12 permanent and other temporary staff in its conservancy wing are trained and redeployed in the proposed solid waste management scheme; hence no loss of employment to existing pourashava staff is anticipated.
29. There is sufficient space for staging areas, construction equipment, and stockpiling of materials in all the proposed sub-projects. The contractor will, however, need to remove all construction and demolition wastes on a daily basis as per subproject EMP.
30. Road closures are not anticipated during construction phase. Although the civil construction works of the sub-projects involve rather simple techniques, the invasive nature of excavation and the alignments in the built-up areas around the civil construction works and where there are usually a variety of human activities, this may result to impacts on the residents, businesses, and the community in general. Excavation may also damage existing infrastructure (such as water distribution pipes, electricity pylons, etc.) located along the ROWs. However, through strict adherence to the conditions of the EMP, the contractors are required to avoid and limit the disturbance to the extent possible. In this regard, specific mitigation measures included in the EMP will be incorporated into their contracts, and will be closely monitored by Faridpur pourashava PIU and management design supervision consultants (MDSC). The subproject EMP provides the following measures and requirement to be implemented by the contractor to ensure that impacts are mitigated:
a. in coordination with Faridpur pourashava and traffic authority, implement a traffic management plan; b. inform through public announcements, billboards/signage and other form of notice13 the residents, businesses owners and tenants, and other sensitive receptors (schools, places of worship, hospitals/clinics, etc.) along construction alignment 7 days, and again 2 days, prior to commencement of works; c. leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; d. provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles;
13 Information should be understandable to local people and include nature and duration of construction activities and contact numbers for concerns/complaints Page 25 of 190
e. consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in work schedules; f. consider night works in high-traffic and commercial areas; g. ensure there is provision of alternate access to businesses and institutions during construction phase, so that there is no closure of these shops or any loss of clientele; and h. Ensure any damage to properties and utilities will be restored or compensated to pre- work conditions.
31. Temporarily affected mobile hawkers/vendors (if any) will be assisted by contractors in moving to alternative locations during the brief period of construction and allowed to return once construction in the area is declared complete. However, in the event that there are income losses for persons with temporary and/or movable structure/equipment during shifting (anticipated to be for a maximum period of 2 days in most cases), compensation for lost income will be made for the time of disruption. Additional assistance will be provided to vulnerable APs.
32. This RP summarizes potential IR impacts in Faridpur in the Table below. The complete IR impacts assessment with the socio-economic profiles of the APs is provided in Appendix 2.

33. The project will have 123 affected households in total; 5 are Hindus while the remaining are Muslims. There are also 8 women headed households among the APs. 38 APs belong to BPL category and 12 are elderly14.
14The eligibility will follow the Department of Social Service of Ministry of Social Welfare that uses 65 years old for man and 62 years old for woman to define elderly people Page 27 of 190

There is only one woman among the 14 landowners/sellers. Of the APs facing loss of business/employment due to brick kiln closure, all 7 employees at the brick kiln are below poverty line (refer SWM DDR Faridpur for socio-economic profile of SWM APs).
34. The project will have potential minor impacts on female-headed households; in total 8 women headed households will be affected from the project’s civil works (loss of boundary walls or insignificant - <20% - loss of major structure). A pourashava–level gender action plan (GAP), as part of this RP, is prepared to ensure gender equality and social inclusion. The GAP will provide for activities to include active participation of females in (i) project disclosure and FGDs; (ii) decision making capacity in pourashavas, (iii) increasing women-friendly service delivery including the poor and the marginalized, and (iv) building women-friendly infrastructure at all levels of pourashavas.
35. There are no identified indigenous peoples/small ethnic communities (IPs/SEC) in Faridpur pourashava. In course of detailed design as well, no IP has been identified and hence, no such IP will be affected by the project that is likely to impact their identity, culture, and customary livelihoods. However, during project implementation if any IPs/SECs are found, a separate small ethnic community development plan (SECDP) will be prepared with detailed information on their land-use, economic activities, and social organizations.
III. SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE
A. Profile of Affected Persons
36. Impact inventory surveys reveal that for roads and drainage subprojects, 58 affected households face loss of major structures, of which 29 face loss of shops/businesses, in addition to 65 households facing loss of boundary walls/fences. A total of 283 medium size trees (some government owned and some owned by private individuals) which will be affected by the project. Two APs (shops along road alignments, 1 each along R-55 and R64) will require relocation. Among the affected households, 24 may be considered ‘below poverty line’ (BPL). There are 8 women headed households (WHHs) of which one is also BPL; and 24 elderly- headed households, of which 3 are WHH, 10 are BPL and 1 is BPL as well as WHH. The list of APs and loss to each is in Appendix 2; socio-economic details of 6 of the 123 APs of roads and drainage subprojects are not available. The following tables present the summary socio- economic profile of 123 APs of roads and drainage subprojects, 14 land sellers (negotiated settlement) and 8 persons likely to be affected by permanent loss of business/employment.

INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION
Page 29 of 190
A. Public Consultation
37. The public participation process included (i) identifying interested and affected parties (stakeholders); (ii) informing and providing the stakeholders with sufficient background and technical information regarding the proposed development; (iii) creating opportunities and mechanisms whereby they can participate and raise their viewpoints (issues, comments, and concerns) with regard to the proposed development; (iv) giving the stakeholders feedback on process findings and recommendations; and (v) ensuring compliance to process requirements with regards to the environmental and related legislation.
38. A total of 32 Focus Group discussions (FGDs) were carried out as part of the preparation of this RP. Further, 1 public consultation with the attendance of 48 participants was held on 11 August 2016. Finally, 15 interviews were carried out with a cross-section of stakeholders in Faridpur pourasava comprising of pourasava officials, government officials, business persons, educationists, prominent local community members, affected persons etc. The detailed list of the interviewees and the proceedings of the FGDs and the public consultation is attached in Appendix 6.
39. An overwhelming majority of the participants in the FGDs, public consultation and interviews expressed their support and willingness to participate in the project. However, some of the participants, particularly those coming from the low-income groups expressed issues related to disruption of their livelihood and/or the need to move out of their current locations. The issues raised include (i) demolition of structures and cutting of trees for ROW clearing; (ii) temporary relocation during road and drainage construction; (iii) pedestrian safety; (iv) employment opportunity; (v) traffic and access to businesses/shops during construction phase; and (iv) land acquisition. The PPTA team led by the national resettlement specialist provided the following information to address the issues:
(i) demolition of structures and cutting of trees for ROW clearing – this is anticipated as some structures are encroaching the ROWs required for the Phase 1 components. Affected assets, trees and APs will be recorded. IR impacts will be addressed in the RP and the APs will be duly compensated. (ii) temporary relocation of business and mobile vendors/hawkers during construction – Majority of APs facing relocation face only temporary relocation. Faridpur pourashava will identify relocation sites prior to start of civil works. Contractor/s will be required to provide assistance to APs in moving to these sites. The APs will have the right to salvage materials and can go back to their original sites once the construction is completed. APs and livelihood impacts will be recorded. IR impacts will be addressed in the RP. Additional compensation will be provided to vulnerable APs. (iii) pedestrian safety – the measures to ensure Phase 1 components will not compromise pedestrian safety and includes design consideration such as dedicated pedestrian walkways on Phase 1 roads, covering of drainages to serve as walkways, provision of speed bumps in areas where there is high traffic for school children and accident-prone stretches, and provision of safety signs and boards. During construction phase, mitigation measures as specified in the subproject EMPs will be implemented by the contractors and closely supervised by Faridpur pourashava and consultants. (iv) employment opportunity – there will be local employment opportunity for skilled and unskilled laborers. Participation of women is highly encouraged and they’ll have priority in employment under the project’s civil works. (v) traffic – road closure is not anticipated during construction period. The contractor/s will be required to submit a traffic management plan and implement in coordination with Faridpur pourashava traffic authority. Alternate routes will be communicated via public announcements, billboards and notices. (vi) disruption of access to businesses/shops – The contractor/s will be required to factor in their work schedules the timing of operations of business/shops along the alignments. The businesses/shops will be notified 7 days and again 2 days prior to start of construction activities. Access will be maintained through provisions of planks and metal sheets across trenches. (vii) land acquisition – No land acquisition is anticipated as per the written letter of the Faridpur pourasava. Land purchase through negotiated settlement anticipated for the landfill site is dealt with in the separate Due Diligence Report for solid waste management in Faridpur. (viii) Potential permanent livelihood impacts – APs expressed concern over potential permanent livelihood impacts. Loss of employment for 7 employees at the brick kiln is to be mitigated by ensuring jobs for 1 member of each AP household; loss of business for brick kiln owner is to be adequately compensated; and potential permanent livelihood impact to 2 shops due to relocation impacts as a result of 2 roads subprojects to be mitigated through business reestablishment and other transitional support and priority by pourashava for project-related construction and operation and maintenance jobs for 1 member of each permanently economically displaced household. Loss of employment to pourshava conservancy staff will be avoided by training and deploying them in the newly created facilities. (ix) Meetings were also held with Faridpur pourashava engineers and relevant staff regarding IR impacts and how to minimize the issues connected with it.
40. The participants of the consultations not only committed their full support but also guaranteed cooperation during project implementation. Almost all the participants in the census survey responded that they agreed to provide every kind of support and cooperation in any effort to develop the area as well as pourashava. However, many of them also made a request for proper compensation for the demolition of the structures. They also further requested additional supports in the form of business and livelihood restoration grants for the APs belonging to low income groups.
41. The issues raised were communicated to Faridpur pourashava and PPTA experts to further fine tune the detailed design of the components. This means that the impacts and their significance have already been reduced.
B. Continued Consultation and Disclosure
42. This RP and other relevant documents will be made available at public locations in the pourashava and posted on the websites of LGED, ADB and the Faridpur pourasava. Furthermore, The consultation process will be continued and expanded during the project implementation to ensure stakeholders participate fully in project execution, as well as to implement comprehensive information, education, and communication plan.
Page 31 of 190
43. Public consultation and disclosure with all interested and affected stakeholders will remain a continuous process throughout the project implementation, and shall include the following: i. consultations during detailed design stage: (a) public meetings with affected communities to present final design and alignment of the components; (b) smaller- scale meetings with APs to discuss IR impacts and RP implementation. ii. consultations during construction phase: (a) one-on-one meetings with affected people prior to start of civil works to discuss relocation site, project schedule and RP implementation; (b) public meetings with affected communities to discuss and plan work programs and allow issues to be raised and addressed once construction has started; and (c) smaller-scale meetings to discuss and plan construction work with individual communities to reduce disturbance and other impacts, and to provide a mechanism through which stakeholders can participate in project monitoring and evaluation; and iii. project disclosure: (a) public information campaigns (via flyers, billboards, and local media) to explain the project to the wider city population and prepare them for disruptions they may experience once construction is underway; (b) public disclosure meetings at key project stages to inform the public of progress and future plans, and to provide copies of summary documents in local language; (c) formal disclosure of completed project reports by making copies available at convenient locations in the study areas, and informing the public of their availability; and (d) providing a mechanism through which comments can be made.
44. A consultation and participation plan is prepared for UGIIP III; consultation activities will be coordinated by the PMO, PIU (Faridpur pourashava) and consultant teams to ensure that the communities are fully aware of the activities at all stages of the project implementation.
45. To provide for more transparency in planning and for further active involvement of APs and other stakeholders, relevant information from this RP will be translated to Bangla and made available at (i) offices of LGED and Faridpur pourashava, (ii) area offices, (iii) consultant teams’ offices; and (iv) contractor’s campsites. It will be ensured that the hard copies of this RP are kept at places which are conveniently accessible to people, as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. An electronic version of this RP will be placed in the official website of LGED and Faridpur pourashava, and ADB’s website after approval of the RP by ADB.
V. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
46. A project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) is established to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The GRM aims to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project. The GRM is in place at PMO level and Phase I project tows of UGIIP-3; GRC needs to be established in each new project town taken up in subsequent phases.
47. Common GRM. A common GRM is in place for social, environmental, or any other grievances related to the project; the RPs and IEEs will follow the GRM described below, which is developed in consultation with key stakeholders. The GRM provides an accessible and trusted platform for receiving and facilitating resolution of affected persons’ grievances related to the project. The multi-tier GRM for the project is outlined below, each tier having time-bound schedules and with responsible persons identified to address grievances and seek appropriate persons’ advice at each stage, as required. 48. Pourashava-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign. The PIU designated safeguard focal person and governance improvement and capacity development consultants (GICDC) will conduct pourashava-wide awareness campaigns to ensure that poor and vulnerable households are made aware of grievance redress procedures and entitlements, and will work with the PMO and management, design and supervision consultants (MDSC) to help ensure that their grievances are addressed.
49. Affected persons (APs) will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes that have already been installed by project pourashavas or through telephone hotlines at accessible locations, by e-mail, by post, or by writing in a complaints register in pourashava offices. Appendix 6 has the sample grievance registration form. Careful documentation of the name of the complainant, address/contact details, date of receipt of the complaint, location of the problem area, and how the problem was resolved will be undertaken. The project management office (PMO) safeguard officer will have the overall responsibility for timely grievance redressal on environmental and social safeguards issues and for registration of grievances, related disclosure, and communication with the aggrieved party through the PIU designated safeguard focal person.
50. Grievance redress process. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, the contractor and consultants’ on-site personnel will provide the most easily accessible or first level of contact for quick resolution of grievances. Contact phone numbers and names of the concerned PIU safeguard focal person and contractors will be posted at all construction sites at visible locations. (i) 1st Level Grievance. The phone number of the PIU office should be made available at the construction site signboards. The contractors and PIU safeguard focal person can immediately resolve on-site in consultation with each other, and will be required to do so within 7 days of receipt of a complaint/grievance. (ii) 2nd Level Grievance. All grievances that cannot be redressed within 7 days at field/ward level will be reviewed by the grievance redress cell (GRC) headed by Panel Mayor of the pourashava with support from PIU designated safeguard focal person and MDSC regional environment and resettlement specialists. GRC will attempt to resolve them within 15 days.1610 The PIU designated safeguard
16 Grievance redress committees (GRC) will have been formed at Pourashava-level. For example in Lalmonirhat pourashava, the GRC comprises Panel Mayor as Chairperson, and 1 councilor, the pourashava Executive Engineer, Secretary pourashava and pourashava administrative officer, as members. All pourashava-level GRCs shall have at Page 33 of 190
focal person will be responsible to see through the process of redressal of each grievance. (iii) 3rd Level Grievance. The PIU designated safeguard focal person will refer any unresolved or major issues to the PMO safeguard officer and MDSC national environmental and resettlement specialists. The PMO in consultation with these officers/specialists will resolve them within 30 days.
51. Despite the project GRM, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage, and accessing the country's legal system can run parallel to accessing the GRM and is not dependent on the negative outcome of the GRM. In the event of the established GRM not being in a position to resolve the issue, the affected person also can use the ADB Accountability Mechanism (AM) through directly contacting (in writing) the Complaint Receiving Officer (CRO) at ADB headquarters or the ADB Bangladesh Resident Mission (BRM). The complaint can be submitted in any official language of ADB’s DMCs. The ADB AM information will be included in the PID to be distributed to the affected persons, as part of the project GRM.
52. Record keeping. Records of all grievances received, including contact details of complainant, date the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were effected, and outcome will be kept by PIU. The number of grievances recorded and resolved and the outcomes will be displayed/disclosed in the PMO office, pourashava office, and on the web, and reported to ADB in semi-annual monitoring reports.
53. Periodic review and documentation of lessons learned. The PMO safeguard officer will periodically review functioning of GRM in each pourashava and record information on its effectiveness, especially on the project’s ability to prevent and address grievances.
54. Costs. All costs involved in resolving the complaints (meetings, consultations, communication and reporting/information dissemination) will be borne by the concerned PIU at pourashava-level; while costs related to escalated grievances will be met by the PMO. Cost estimates for grievance redress are included in resettlement cost estimates.
least one-woman member/chairperson and AP representative or independent NGO as committee member. In addition, for project-related grievances, representatives of APs, community-based organizations (CBOs), and eminent citizens must be invited as observers in GRC meetings.

VI. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK
55. ADB Safeguards Policy Statement, 2009.ADB SPS, 2009 applies to all ADB- financed and/or ADB-administered sovereign projects and their components, regardless of the source of financing, including investment projects funded by a loan, a grant, or other means.
56. The three important elements of the ADB SPS, 2009 are (i) compensation to replace lost assets, livelihood, and income; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation to achieve at least the same standard of living with the project as without it. In addition, the absence of legal title to land should not be a bar to compensation. ADB SPS, 2009 requires compensation prior to actual income loss.
57. ADB SPS also applies when the land acquisition process has begun or been completed and/or population has already been moved in anticipation of ADB support. Involuntary resettlement actions in anticipation of ADB support generally refer to actions that preceded ADB support. In such cases ADB’s due diligence will identify if there are any outstanding grievance or resettlement actions in noncompliance with ADB SPS requirements. If such outstanding issues are identified, ADB will work with LGED and PIUs to ensure appropriate mitigation measures are developed and implemented with an agreed timeline. It is also important for ADB’s due diligence to assess potential risks associated with the project, even if the government’s previous resettlement actions are not done in anticipation of ADB support.
58. Government of Bangladesh Laws and Policies: The Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO), 1982 and its subsequent amendments in 1993 and 1994 are the applicable Government of Bangladesh legal and policy framework. ARIPO does not cover non-titleholders, such as encroachers, informal settler/squatters, occupiers, and informal tenants and leaseholders without documents. ARIPO also does not provide for replacement cost of the property acquired, and has no provision for resettlement assistance for restoration of livelihoods of displaced persons, except for legal compensation for land and structure. Further, in a majority of the cases, the compensation paid does not constitute market or replacement cost of the property acquired.
59. Appendix 9 provides a comparison of ARIPO and ADB SPS, 2009 principles and provides a gap analysis. Gaps between ARIPO and ADB, SPS 2009 were identified, and bridging measures are specified the project’s RF. The RF also specifies that in case of discrepancy between the policies of ADB and the government, the policy of ADB will prevail.
60. This draft RP and entitlement matrix therein represents a uniform document agreed upon by both the Government of Bangladesh and ADB to ensure compliance with their respective rules and policies.
VII. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS
A. Types of Losses and Affected Person (AP) Category
61. The types of losses – permanent or temporary, total or partial due to the project include (i) loss of land; (ii) loss of residential/commercial/community structure; (iii) loss of trees; (iv) loss of crops; (v) loss of business; (vi) loss of work days/incomes, and relocation of households and businesses; and (vi) loss of access to premises for residence and trading.
62. According to ADB SPS, 2009 of ADB in the context of involuntary resettlement, APs are those who are physically relocated, or lose residential land, or shelter and/or economically displaced (with loss of structure, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood). The absence of formal and legal title to the land should not prevent the AP to receive compensation and resettlement assistance from the project.
63. The following categories of APs are likely to be impacted due to the implementation of the project:
i. APs whose structure are to be demolished – APs whose structure (including ancillary and secondary structure) are being used for residential, commercial, community, or worship purposes which are affected in part or in total; ii. APs losing income or livelihoods – APs whose crops, trees, business, employment, daily wages as source of income, or livelihood (including tenants, businesses, employees, laborers, etc.) are affected, permanently or temporarily; iii. APs facing relocatin impacts, temporary or permanent, and iv. vulnerable APs – APs included in any of the above categories who are defined as low-income people (BPL), physically or socially challenged, landless or without title to land, female-headed households, elderly, vulnerable IP (tribal), or ethnic minority group.
B. Principles, Legal, and Policy Commitments
64. The RP has the following specific principles based on ARIPO and ADB SPS, 2009:
i. land acquisition and resettlement impacts on persons displaced by the project would be avoided or minimized as much as possible through alternate design/engineering options; ii. where the negative impacts are unavoidable, the persons displaced by the project and vulnerable groups will be identified and assisted in improving or regaining their standard of living; iii. information related to the preparation and implementation of this RP will be disclosed to all stakeholders in a form and language understandable to them; and people’s participation will be ensured in planning and implementation; iv. displaced persons who do not own land or other properties, but have economic interests or lose their livelihoods, will be assisted as per the broad principles described in the entitlement matrix of this RP; v. before starting civil works, compensation and resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) assistance will be paid in full in accordance with the provisions described in RP; vi. an entitlement matrix for different categories of people displaced by the project has been prepared. People moving into the project area after the cut-off date17 will
17The project cut-off date was established during the formal disclosure of the RP on (6.12 2013).A cut-off date is set to establish displaced persons who are eligible to receive compensation and resettlement assistance by a project. The aim is not to inflict losses on people. Any person who purchases or occupies land in the Page 37 of 190
not be entitled to any assistance vii. for non-titleholders such as informal settlers/squatters and encroachers, the date of completion of detailed design-relevant survey are the cut-off dates. This stands to be declared by LGED, viii. appropriate GRM will be established to ensure speedy resolution of disputes; ix. all activities related to resettlement planning, implementation, and monitoring will ensure the involvement of women and other vulnerable groups; x. consultations with the APs will continue during the implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation works; and xi. a clause in the contract agreement that the construction contractor/s will be required to repair to pre-works condition or compensate any loss or damage caused by his execution of works.
C. Entitlements
65. In accordance with the UGIIP III RF, all displaced households and persons will be entitled to a combination of compensation packages and resettlement assistance, depending on the nature of ownership rights on lost assets, scope of the impacts including socioeconomic vulnerability of the displaced persons, and measures to support livelihood restoration if livelihood impacts are envisaged.
66. The entitlement18 matrix (Table 8) specifies that any displaced person19 will be entitled to (i) compensation for loss of land at the replacement cost; (ii) compensation for loss of structure (residential/commercial) and other immovable assets at their replacement cost (without counting the depreciation value); (iii) compensation for loss of business/wage income; (iv) compensation for loss of crops and/or trees; (iv) assistance for shifting of structure; (v) rebuilding and/or restoration of community resources/facilities; and (vi) if vulnerable APs, livelihood/transitional cash assistance for vulnerable displaced persons (head of the affected family) at official minimum wage of the appropriate AP’s occupation.
D. Cut-off Date
67. The date of disclosure of this RP to project-affected persons will be considered the cut-off date for determining eligibility for compensation.
demarcated project area after a cut-off date is not eligible for compensation or resettlement assistance. Fixed assets such as built structures, crops, fruit trees, and woodlots established after this date, or an alternative mutually agreed on date, will not be compensated. 18Resettlement entitlements with respect to a particular eligibility category are the sum total of compensation and other forms of assistance provided to displaced persons in the respective eligibility category. 19In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced persons are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas.

VIII. COMPENSATION MECHANISM
67. The project will ensure that the properties (structure and non-structure assets) to be displaced for the project will be compensated at their full replacement cost, determined by legally constituted bodies like the property valuation advisory committee (PVAC), and joint verification committee (JVC), and resettlement advisory committee (RAC). The principle for determining valuation and compensation for assets, incomes, and livelihoods is replacing the loss of affected assets and restoring the loss of income and workdays experienced by the displaced households. Livelihood rehabilitation assistance will be required to all APs who will experience significant impacts on their livelihood activities regardless of their poverty status. Additional assistance will be required for AP categorized as poor and vulnerable.
68. This RP ensures compensation at replacement cost for all the displaced people/APs due to implementation of Phase 2 and 3 components in Faridpur pourashava.
A. Cash Allowance to Support Lost Income
69. Displaced persons will be eligible for assistance for loss of employment/workdays (in the case of wage earners) owing to dislocation and relocation. Assistance for lost income based on 3 months’ minimum wage rates to permanently displaced shop owners will be paid. For temporary disruption to income during the demolition and reconstruction of the partially affected commercial structure, the owners as well as the workers will receive one- time assistance for lost income for the actual period of disruption at income/tax statement, minimum wage rates, or based on actual income (whichever is higher), verified through incomes of comparable businesses in the area.
B. Assistance to Re-establish Business
70. APs will be provided 7 days advance notice, followed by a reminder 2 days before construction to ensure none or minimal disruption in livelihood. If required, they will be assisted to temporarily shift for continued economic activity; for example, they will be assisted to shift to the other side of the road where there is no construction and then assisted to shift back, post- construction. Special care will be taken to ensure that these temporarily affected shop owners will set up their business once again either in the same location or elsewhere of their own choice.
71. Ensuring there is no income or access loss during civil works is the responsibility of contractors. Consistent with the EMP, contractors will ensure access is maintained by making sure that space is left for access between mounds of soil, walkways and metal sheets provided to maintain access across trenches for people and vehicles where required, increased workforce is available to finish work in areas with impacts on access, timing of works is such that it reduces disruption during business hours and periods of peak business activities e.g. festivals, phased construction schedule is followed and work undertaken on one segment at a time and one side of a road at a time.
72. Any interruption (full or partial) of access to any facility or service will be restored as soon as the construction is completed. Necessary provisions particularly interrupted water supply to the poor during the construction period is the responsibility of the PIUs and contractor.
Page 44 of 190
C. Assistance for relocation
73. All affected persons facing relocation impacts including encroachers and squatters will be entitled to a lumpsum cash assistance of Rs. 10,000, to meet any transport/shifting/labour costs involved in relocation. One person from each household facing relocation will be given priority in unskilled labor opportunities under the project. D. Additional Assistance to Vulnerable Groups
73. The following categories of displaced persons have been identified as vulnerable groups in the project: female-headed, elderly-headed, disabled-headed, as well as IP/minorities and BPL households. In addition to the provisions in the entitlement matrix for compensation of loss of assets and livelihood, additional allowance equivalent to 2 months’ income at minimum wages to each of these vulnerable groups households affected is included towards enabling improvement of their socioeconomic status. Vulnerable persons will be given priority in unskilled labor opportunities under the project. ID cards will verify vulnerability status, and the PIU will present the list of vulnerable persons to contractors.
E. Compensation for Temporary Affected Persons
74. Temporary loss of incomes of APs will be compensated based on replacement cost of income losses or a transitional allowance for the period of disruption up to 6 months, as detailed in the entitlement matrix. Preferential employment in project-related work will be offered to local people, with priority to vulnerable persons. APs will be provided 7 days advance notice, followed by a reminder 2 days before construction to ensure none or minimal disruption in livelihood. If required, they will also be assisted to temporarily shift for continued economic activity; for example, they will be assisted to shift to the other side of the road where there is no construction and then assisted to shift back, post-construction. Compensation and assistance to APs must be provided prior to start of civil works
F. Payment of Compensation to Affected Persons
75. The following steps are envisaged in payment of compensation to APs:
Step-1. PIU, with assistance from PMO and MDSC resettlement specialist will distribute identity cards to affected persons, including those facing income losses and those requiring assistance, and vulnerable APs. MDSC resettlement specialist fills up a prescribed form for each AP, listing down the name, location, and business type of the AP, including signature; MDSC resettlement specialist takes passport-size photograph of each AP with digital camera; MDSC resettlement specialist prepares a database of the APs with digital photographs; MDSC resettlement specialist issues ID cards to APs with corresponding ID serial number to match with database and AP photo; and MDSC resettlement specialist NGO determines income loss of the vendors/small shop owners based on the socio-economic survey.
Step-2. Affected persons can then access the compensation, assistance, and allowances provided from PIU.
Page 45 of 190
Step-3. PIU will pay compensation, assistance, and allowances prior to displacement in sections ready for construction (as required). The project director will closely monitor these activities. PIU opens a bank account with a bank, including an MOU to make payment from the account to ID-card holders of affected persons only. PIU issues checks to affected persons. Bank pays an affected person as bearer of the check; on the reverse side of the check, the bank puts a seal containing a box, notes the ID serial number of the AP, and checks the bearer’s ID and photograph. PIU collects the bank statement and submits to PMO included in the RP implementation report. Step-4. PMO will keep accounts-record of affected persons; amounts paid, and receipts record-for accounting purposes.
76. IR impacts in anticipation of ADB support. A tracer study will be conducted for any households/persons displaced in anticipation of ADB support. The principal objective of the tracer study is to locate all affected households/persons and to find out their present socioeconomic situation. A set of guide questions that focused on the following will be used:
(i) when was the structure set up, when was it dismantled; (ii) was this the first time that the AH dismantled its structure on orders by local authorities; (iii) who carried out the dismantling and rebuilding, if any of the structures; (iv) how much did the affected household/persons spend on the dismantling and rebuilding of its structures; (v) where has the AH relocated; and, (vi) what are the livelihood activities and level of daily income of the AH before and after relocation.
77. A corrective action plan will be developed to include specific assistance and timing of provision of assistance set out in this RP will be provided to all affected households. Displaced households/persons in anticipation of ADB support will also be entitled to (i) compensation for loss of land at the replacement cost; (ii) compensation for loss of structure (residential/commercial) and other immovable assets at their replacement cost (without counting the depreciation value); (iii) compensation for loss of business/wage income; (iv) assistance for shifting of structure; (v) rebuilding and/or restoration of community resources/facilities; (vi) livelihood/ transitional cash assistance for 6 months for all physically displaced persons at official minimum wage of the appropriate AP’s occupation for each head of the affected family.
IX. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN
A. Unit Costs
78. As per UGIIP III RF the following were considered in determination of replacement cost of immovable properties to be affected by implementation of Phase 2 components in Faridpur pourashava:
i. houses and buildings - the value of the houses, buildings and other immovable properties of APs included the cost of labor and transfer of the construction materials; ii. timber bearing trees – the value is based on the market price of timber and as determined by the Forest Department; iii. fruit-bearing trees – the value is based on the market value of products multiplied by number of productive years remaining. If the trees are yet to reach age of maturity for calculating economic value, the cost of seedlings, saplings, and agricultural inputs are added to the compensation valuation. Valuation of fruit- bearing trees has been done by the Department of Horticulture.
79. Business owners’ loss of income will be compensated using maximum daily income earned during the duration of impact or number of days the shop/s will remain closed.
80. All temporarily affected APs will receive subsistence/transitional allowances and shifting assistance during the duration of impact which is expected for a very short period (2 days maximum for Phase 1 components and may even be shortened by judicious planning of construction program, such as, night time or expedited construction). Special care will be taken to ensure that these temporarily affected APs will set up their livelihood once again either in the same location or elsewhere of their own choice.
81. For computation of unit cost for temporary income loss, results of the survey of affected businesses are used. The business surveys reveal affected businesses in Faridpur pourashava earn highest daily profit of BDT 500 per day, which is used as the unit rate for tentative computation of compensation. Actual loss will be compensated as the entitlement in the RF.
B. Resettlement Costs
82. Table 9 presents the resettlement cost estimate for Phase 2 and 3 components in Faridpur (assessed contract packages). The resettlement cost includes (i) replacement cost of affected structures; (ii) assistance and allowances for relocation; (iii) cost of trees; (iv) sums for potential income losses to vendors and (v) additional provisions for vulnerable APs. The resettlement cost has been prepared using market survey price of the impact but the total amount could come down as a result of actual support the community would offer during implementation. The resettlement costs also included other costs to RP implementation such as (i) public consultations and disclosure; (ii) grievance redress mechanism; (iii) safeguards capacity building; (iv) PMO, PIU, and consultants personnel; (v) updating of RP including survey costs during detailed design; and (vi) contingencies to cover damages to properties, if any.
83. The resettlement cost will be updated based on IR impact assessment during detailed design. All resettlement costs (including provision of sites for temporarily affected APs), unless otherwise specified in the table will be borne by counterpart funds.

APPENDIX – 10: SUGGESTED PROJECT INFORMATION DISCLOSURE (PID) LEAFLET
I. Background
Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have planned to implement UGIIP III in selected 30 pourashavas over a period of 6 years (2014 to 2020).
UGIIP III outcomes are improved access to municipal services and strengthened pro-poor and gender-responsive urban governance in target pourashavas. UGIIP III outputs are municipal infrastructure improved and made sustainable in target pourashavas, community participation, accountability, and financial management systems strengthened with emphasis on gender equity and social inclusion and project management. UGIIP III will improve existing and provide new municipal infrastructures including (i) roads; (ii) drainages; (iii) water supply system; (iv) solid waste management facilities; (v) slaughterhouses; (vi) markets, community center/auditorium, bus and truck terminals and river ghats; (vii) public toilets; and (viii) others such as provision for street lighting and improvement of slums.
II. Executing and implementing agencies
LGED and the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), will be the executing agencies of the project. The participating pourashavas are the implementing agencies.
Subproject Description. The list of proposed subproject components involving civil works in Faridpur in Phase II of UGIIP-3 comprises of 62 roads and 24 drains; and improvement of existing 9 solid waste transfer stations. Purchase (through negotiated settlement) of a solid waste management landfill site is also proposed in Phase II. In Phase III of UGIIP-3, construction of the landfill facility is proposed. The total length of the roads and drains are respectively; 55.253 km and 25.862 km comprising of 11 contract packages for the linear components. The subprojects to be implemented meet the selection criteria (general and technical), underwent environmental and social safeguard screening and conform to the master plan prepared for Faridpur.
III. Project safeguard category as per ADB SPS, 2009
During project preparation stage, alignment and sites of proposed subprojects in Faridpur were assessed and results indicate that it is considered to be a low risk category project with safeguard category B (environment and involuntary resettlement) and C (indigenous people).
Involuntary resettlement impacts due to the subproject are addressed in the resettlement plan (RP) prepared for Faridpur pourashava as per Government of Bangladesh’s ARIPO and ADB SPS, 2009. The RP will be updated during detailed design based on detailed measurement surveys, and also in case of any changes and latest subproject designs and will be disclosed to affected persons. A Resettlement Framework (RF) has been prepared to provide guidance in the updating the RP. In case of any discrepancy between the policies of ADB and the government, ADB SPS, 2009 will prevail.
IV. Involuntary resettlement impacts
UGIIP III considers involuntary resettlement22 due to physical and economic displacement
22ADB SPS considers resettlement involuntary when the displaced persons have no right to as a result of (a) involuntary acquisition of land, or (b) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas; (ii) permanent or temporary displacement; (iii) full or partial displacement; (iv) all affected persons (APs) with land to be affected permanently or temporarily due to any project activity, including purchase and temporary use during construction.
No major IR impacts are envisaged as there is no requirement for private land acquisition as the roads and drainage components will be located along existing roads and drainage rights- of-way (ROW) and government-owned lands, while the solid waste landfill facility will be created on private land proposed to be obtained through negotiated settlement. ADB SPS, 2009 makes it obligatory to endorse any negotiated settlement by an independent third party evaluator (e.g. an eminent citizen of the pourashava linked to an institution).
The identified potential involuntary resettlement (IR) impacts based on the subproject designs of roads and drainage improvements include (a) major structure loss to 36 shops and 29 houses, of which only 1 tin shed shop (on road scheme ID R-55) is anticipated to suffer permanent relocation impact.; (b) impacts to minor structures (65 boundary walls); and (c) loss of 283 trees, a large number of which belong to government. The need for utility shifting (94 electricity poles) is also identified.
For the solid waste management subproject components in Faridpur, 13.53 acres of land is proposed to be obtained through negotiated settlement from 14 landowners (heirs to 5 original landowners with 6 khatians). Part of the proposed site is used for paddy cultivation (1 crop per year) and part has been leased out to a brick kiln owner. Livelihood impacts to the brick kiln owner and his 7 permanent employees are anticipated; compensation and mitigation measures for the affected persons due to loss of brick kiln are proposed in the resettlement plan for Faridpur. The pourashava will also be required to ensure that existing 12 permanent and other temporary staff in its conservancy wing are trained and redeployed in the proposed solid waste management scheme; hence no loss of employment to existing pourashava staff is anticipated.
V. Eligibility
APs are those who are physically relocated, or lose residential land, or shelter and/or economically displaced (with loss of structure, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood). The absence of formal and legal title to the land should not prevent the AP to receive compensation and resettlement assistance from the project.
UGIIP III will recognize three types of displaced persons, including: (i) persons with formal legal rights to land lost in its entirety or in part; (ii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part who have no formal legal rights to such land, but who have claims to such lands that are recognized or recognizable under national laws; and (iii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part who have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to such land. The budgetary provision is specified in Faridpur RP.
VI. Entitlement
The entitlement matrix (Table 1 of the RF and also included in Faridpur RP) summarizes the main types of losses and the corresponding nature and scope of entitlements in accordance with government and ADB policies. Where the entitlement refuse the land acquisition by the state that result in their displacement. This occurs when land is acquired through (i) expropriation by invoking the eminent domain power of the state, or (ii) land is acquired through negotiated settlement when the pricing is negotiated in a process where expropriation will be the consequence of a failure in the negotiation
Page 185 of 190 matrix does not cover a particular impact, it can be enhanced in the RPs based on the findings of the socioeconomic assessment and detailed census survey. Standards described will not be lowered, but can be enhanced in the subproject RPs as required.
VII. Institutional Arrangement
A PMO will be established in LGED headed by a Project Director from LGED. The PMO will be staffed by a safeguard officer to oversee safeguards implementation and monitoring of the project. The PMO will be responsible for implementing and monitoring safeguards compliance activities, public relations activities, gender mainstreaming activities, and community participation activities. The participating pourashavas will establish a PIU within the pourashava structure. The PIUs will each designate a safeguard focal person. Consultant teams (management, design and supervision consultants [MDSC] and governance improvement and capacity development consultants [GICDC]) will be engaged to provide assistance to PMO and PIUs. MDSC will have one national resettlement specialist and three regional resettlement specialist. GICDC will support PMO and PIUs in implementing urban government improvement action plan (UGIAP). GICDC will provide capacity development, community mobilization and other facilitation services.
The contractor/s will be required to designate a resettlement supervisor to (i) ensure compliance with RP and RF during civil works, and to (ii) carry out all mitigation and monitoring measures outlined in the environmental management plan and their contract. Contractor/s will be required to repair/rehabilitate damaged properties to pre-work condition or compensate properties which cannot repaired/rehabilitated.
VIII. Grievance Redress Mechanism
A project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) will be established in each PIU to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The GRM will aim to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project.
Pourashava-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign. The PIU designated safeguard focal person and governance improvement and capacity development consultants (GICDC) will conduct pourashava-wide awareness campaigns to ensure that poor and vulnerable households are made aware of grievance redress procedures and entitlements, and will work with the PMO and MDSC to help ensure that their grievances are addressed.
APs will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes that have already been installed by project pourashavas or through telephone hotlines at accessible locations, by e-mail, by post, or by writing in a complaints register in pourashava offices. Figure 1 shows the grievance redress process and further explained in the RF and Faridpur RP:
In the event that the established GRM is not in a position to resolve the issue, the affected person also can use the ADB Accountability Mechanism (AM) through directly contacting (in writing) the Complaint Receiving Officer (CRO) at ADB headquarters or the ADB Bangladesh Resident Mission (BRM). The complaint can be submitted in any of the official languages of ADB’s DMCs. The ADB Accountability Mechanism information will be included in the PID to be distributed to the affected communities, as part of the project GRM.
IX. Disclosure
The project RF and other relevant documents will be made available at public locations in the pourashava and posted on the websites of LGED and ADB. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during the project implementation to ensure stakeholders participate fully in project execution, as well as to implement comprehensive information, education, and communication plan. Public consultation and disclosure with all interested and affected partied will remain a continuous process throughout the project implementation.
A consultation and participation plan is prepared for UGIIP III; consultation activities will be coordinated by the PMO, PIU and consultant teams to ensure that the communities are fully aware of the activities at all stages of the project implementation. To provide for more transparency in planning and for further active involvement of APs and other stakeholders, relevant information from this RP will be translated to Bangla made available at (i) offices of LGED and pourashava, (ii) area offices, (iii) consultant teams’ offices and (iv) contractor’s campsites. It will be ensured that the hard copies of this RP are kept at places which are conveniently accessible to people, as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. An electronic version of this RP will be placed in the official website of LGED and pourashava, and ADB’s website after approval of the RP by ADB.

IX. Monitoring and Reporting
Internal monitoring. The internal monitoring by PMO and PIUs will include: (i) administrative monitoring to ensure that all compensation as per RP is paid, implementation is on schedule, and problems/grievances are dealt with on a timely basis; (ii) socioeconomic monitoring during and after the relocation process to ensure that people are settled and are better off at the new locations; and (iii) overall monitoring as to whether recovery has taken place successfully and on time.
External monitoring. ADB requires that the borrower retain qualified and experienced external experts to verify monitoring information for projects with significant impacts and risks. An external resettlement monitoring expert18 will be engaged by the PMO to undertake resettlement monitoring and evaluation during RP implementation.
Reporting. The PIUs will submit monthly progress reports to PMO. The PMO will review and send semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB during the project implementation period.
Appendix - 11: Sample Template for Semi-Annual Social Monitoring Report
