1. Executive Summary

Introduction and background

1. The Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan (the Government) has applied for financing from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the form of a loan toward the cost of the North-West Region Power Transmission Project (NWRTLP) and the State Joint-Stock Company National Electric Grids of Uzbekistan (NEGU) is the executing agency of the project.

2. NWRTLP was split into seven sections to accelerate the construction works. Out of seven, five sections triggered Involuntary resettlement and updated LARPs have been prepared for these sections. This Social Compliance Audit Report (SCAR) has been prepared for Section 5: ” The power line section between “Khorezm” Substation and 3rd river-crossing of the transmission line with the Amudarya River (Khorezm region)

3. In December 2019, an updated Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared by NEGU based on the final design for Section 5. According to updated LARP, the NWRTLP was classified as Category B for involuntary resettlement.

Summary of Audit findings

4. The overarching aim of this audit is to understand and assess the extent to which the activities undertaken by NEGU to date as part of Section 5 of NWRTLP are consistent with the updated (final) LARP that was prepared in December 2019 per requirements of ADB’s SPS on Involuntary Resettlement.

5. This audit comprised of broad sets of activities. These activities included assessment of the land acquisition process and its validation through a detailed review of secondary data and validation of paid compensations to AHs and assessment of their satisfaction level.

6. The major audit findings are that construction works have been started without receiving a notice to proceed for construction from ADB, compensation payments were done partially. However, the majority of delayed compensations were paid by NEGU until March 2021.

7. This audit report has been prepared in consideration of verification letters by affected households, analysis of bank transactions on compensation payment, land for land compensation documents, and crop loss reports.

Status of impacts on Land

8. Construction works in Section 5 of the NWRTLP had both temporary and permanent agricultural land acquisition impacts. Permanent impacts were related to the erection of Tension and Suspension towers. All the details of the permanently impacted lands were similar to the details given in the updated LARP. There was no changes in the size of permanent land areas and the land was allocated for towers per LARP. Therefore, details on permanent land impacts were not included in this report.

9. The audit found that in terms of permanent land impacts there was no changes. All affected residential lands in Khazorasp district received land for land compensation while Masharipova Saodat in Bogot district did not yet receive land for land compensation. Bogot District Hokimityat did not issue yet a Land Allocation Decree for a new land plot which shall be issued as soon as possible. NEGU shall enforce Bogot District Hokimityat on the issuance of the Land Allocation Decree for Masharipova Saodat.

Status of impacts on Crop

10. The audit found that before commencing the construction works Contractor for Construction concluded Crop Loss Reports that were signed by AHs, Representative of NEGU, and Khorezm Branch of the Uzdavyerloyiha Institute (Land Use Planning Institute) based on the actual crop losses. Desk review of the available Crop Loss Reports and Letter of Consents showed that in some of the affected lands there were crops as stated in the updated LARP, in some of the lands there were other types of affected crops, and some of the affected lands there was no crop loss at all. AHs were mostly among household plots (dehkan farms), therefore most of the AHs whose dehkan farms were affected were entitled to compensations. There are also AHs who expressed their consents on received compensations and also expressed that there were no crop losses. Therefore, the type of impacted crops and compensation amounts were subject to revision. These revisions were verified by the AHs during the interviews.

Status of impacts on Trees

11. According to the valuation report and per updated LARP in total 918 fruit and timber trees belonging to 4 AHs were estimated to be impacted which are located in Khazorasp district. During the consultation with the AHs, an audit found that during the construction works in total 918 trees were impacted. NEGU paid so far in total 17,822,916 UZS or 47% of the total compensation to the paid-for for the affected trees belonging to the 3 AHs. However, per updated LARP and based on the audit, compensation in the amount of 38,180,301 UZS shall be paid for 918 affected trees belonging to 4 AHs. During the audit, the AHs whose trees were affected verified that they did not receive the full amount of entitled compensations for affected trees bur partially. Therefore, NEGU shall pay compensation for those 4 AHs for their affected trees per LARP remaining 20,357,385 UZS.

Impact on residential structures

12. In terms of impacts, there was no change on impacts to structures and lands. All 7 residential structures were affected as stated in the updated LARP. No other AHs other than these 7 AHs were found to be affected. Compensations for affected residential structures were paid in full (100%) per updated LARP and Valuation Reports at replacement rate. During the interview, AHs expressed their satisfaction with the provided monetary compensation and land for land compensations. The paid compensations were verified through bank transactions to the accounts of the AHs, the letter of consent of AHs, and personal interviews during the consultations.

Relocation, allowance, and additional assistance

13. According to the updated LARP and SPS 2009, AHs shall be entitled allowances for vulnerability status such as i) Woman headed household without any support in working-age people in the family, ii) Household headed by physically/ mentally challenged person, iii) Elderly headed household without any support in working-age people in the family, iv) severely affected households, and additional assistance for i) reimbursement of valuation fee, ii) relocation assistance.

14. According to the audit findings and interviews with the AHs, there were no payments made for vulnerability status, and no payments were made as additional assistance for Ahs. Per updated LARP, 14 AHs were entitled to allowances and assistances and according to the audit findings now in total 13 AHs are eligible to receive in total 14,696,000 UZS as a one-time allowance and assistance to be given per updated LARP. One AH did not have an impact on his crops, therefore, accordingly, he has not been considered eligible for vulnerability 7 assistance. Letter of Consent and personal interview with AH verified no crop loss. Other remaining 13 AHs shall be entitled to allowances and assistances per updated LARP.

Summary of Land acquisition and resettlement impacts

15. The summary of this chapter concludes that in terms of the number of affected households Section 5 was properly categorized as “B” with less significant impacts in terms of ADB’s SPS on Involuntary Resettlement as stated in updated LARP.

16. Section 5 of the NWRTLP included both temporary and permanent land acquisition impacts to AHs. Land acquisition activities and construction works started without receiving a notice to proceed from ADB. Compensation payments were done partially. Construction works were carried out from November 2019 to March 2020. Therefore, in some of the affected lands, there was crop loss while the majority of farms had no crop impacts due to construction works. Details of the status of the paid and unpaid compensation amounts are given in Table 1.1 below. Table 1.1: Summary of total paid compensations per household

3.3 Description of Land Acquisition 26. Section 5 passes through the Urgench, Honka, Yangiarik, Bogot, and Hazorasp districts. In December 2019, an updated Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared by NEGU based on the final design. According to updated LARP, the NWRTLP was classified as Category B for involuntary resettlement.

27. Updated LARP identified in total 238 AHs, including 68 private farms, household plots, and 5 business entities will be impacted for a permanent and temporary period while 7 residential households will have a permanent impact on their lands and structures. Additionally, updated LARP included the State governed lands as well.

28. The final LARP was disclosed on the websites of NEGU and ADB in local and English languages in December 2019. Public disclosure meetings have been carried out for AHs and leaflets were distributed to AHs and local stakeholders in December 2019. 7

29. The major audit findings are that land acquisition activities and construction works started without receiving a notice to proceed from ADB. Compensation payments were done partially. 3.4 Objectives of the audit 30. The overarching aim of this audit is to understand and assess the extent to which the activities undertaken by NEGU to date as part of Section 5 of NWRTLP are consistent with the updated (final) LARP that was prepared per requirements of ADB’s SPS on Involuntary Resettlement. Specific audit objectives were:  To verify and provide an assessment of whether all land acquisition, compensation and 23

livelihood restoration activities undertaken to date are consistent with the updated Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for Section 5  to identify if necessary resettlement assistance has been provided to AHs based on document review and interviews with external and internal stakeholders  to assess the land acquisition (LA), rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) process, its adequacy with ADB SPS,  identify any other additional land acquisition and involuntary resettlement risks, if any;  develop a Social Compliance Audit Report on the implementation of LARP aligned to the applicable framework requirements given compliance gaps and risks identified.  To provide conclusions on compliance of actions undertaken by the NEGU regarding the LAR activities in the frame of NWRTLP to date.

31. In fulfillment of the above-stated objectives, the scope includes a detailed review of the steps taken to implement LARP, a survey among AHs to assess their satisfaction with the LA process, and identifying the issues.

32. The preparation of SCAR is guided by the outcomes of updated LARP, a survey among AHs, a review of various applicable state legal and policy frameworks, ADB SPS, assessment and validation of land acquisition processes, stakeholder meetings, and public consultations. Specific focus includes whether vulnerable affected households received adequate assistance.

33. This audit comprised of broad sets of activities. These activities included assessment of the land acquisition process and its validation through a detailed review of secondary data and validation of paid compensations to AHs and assessment of their satisfaction level. 3.5 Approach and methodology 34. This assignment comprised of broad sets of activities. These activities included assessment of the land acquisition process and its validation through a detailed review of secondary data and survey among AHs for validation of paid compensations. The approach followed by the consultant in the preparation of this audit document is described in brief below:

a. A detailed review of the land acquisition process and legal provision under which land acquisition was carried out; b. Assessment of the adequacy of the LARP implementation process including identification of gaps (if any concerning governing legal framework and ADB SPS) and risk identification; c. The social compliance audit process diligently focused on identifying any legacy issues or ongoing risks to the project and its successful implementation (including any legal challenges); d. Vulnerability lens has been used to identify if any PAP is vulnerable and suggest measures to reduce project induced vulnerabilities; e. Stakeholder consultations with the affected community/persons, and documentation of the same; f. Documentation and assessment of site visit findings, review of secondary data to present overall findings to identify compliance gaps and suggest measures for - mitigation of these gaps/risks that include potential livelihood restoration measures, an effective grievance redress mechanism, and related implementation arrangements to manage the same. g. A detailed review of the land acquisition process and legal provision under which land acquisition was carried out; h. validation of paid compensations through desk review and survey among AHs. 24

3.6 Desk review and site visits 35. The audit incorporated two phases. The first phase included a desktop documentation review that was undertaken from October to November 2020. The following documents have been reviewed:  Bank transactions on payment of compensations that were made to AHs and consistency with the LARP  Land allocation documents were allocated to AHs who lost their residential structures and lands. The second phase included site visits, consultations with stakeholders, AHs that were undertaken in December 2020.The field visit included the following activities:  Meeting with NEGU’s local branch in Khorezm to discuss the LAR and construction of TL status  Detailed interviews with the affected landowners whose lands were acquired for the construction of TL through personal and telephone interviews.  Brief interviews with the local community-based organization - mahalla regarding grievances and any land acquisition.

3.7 Limitations 36. The compliance review and data collection exercise were constrained by a set of limitations as mentioned below.  Due to the pandemic situation with COVID-19, personal interviews with AHs were limited. Most AHs were contacted with telephone conversations.  At the time of the development of this report, 100% of land acquisition (physical possession of land) was already completed.  Compensation payments are still going on and some of the compensation payments still need to be done.

4. STATUS OF LARP IMPLEMENTATION

37. This chapter discusses the implementation of land acquisition and resettlement in Section 5 of NWRTLP and findings of the social compliance audit concerning provided entitlements to affected households.

4.1 Summary of impacts per updated LARP

38. Per the updated LARP that was developed in December 2019 the route of Section 5 starts at the Khorezm substation and ends near to 3rd river-crossing of the Amudarya River which impacts farmers' land, forest land, the state reserve lands, and residential lands with the total 83,467 meters of length route.

39. According to the inventory of loss done in 2019, there were in total 238 AHs, and out of the total 204 AHs entitled for the compensation which comprises private farms, household plots, business entities, and residential households with temporary and permanent land impacts. All AHs are located in Urgench, Honka, Yangiarik, Bogot, and Hazorasp districts of the Khorezm region.

40. Temporary land acquisition for the RoW of TL is approximately 124 ha whereas for permanently land acquisition about 2.33 ha of land will be required. Table 4.1 below summarizes both permanent and temporary total land acquisition and land allocation in Section 5.

Table 4.1: Summary of Impacts per updated LARP

Scope of Type of Impact Impact Permanently acquired land area (ha) - Total 2.33 - agricultural land from AHs (ha) 1.35 1 - residential land from AHs (ha) 0.30 - other lands from State-governed Lands 0.68 Temporary acquired land area (ha) – Total: 124 - agricultural land from AHs (ha) 71.88 2 - Ditches, canals, roads, and other lands from AHs 8.94 - other lands from State-governed Lands 43.18 3 Number of affected crop types 5 4 Number of severely AHs 7 Total affected Trees: 918 5 - Total affected fruit trees 909 - Total affected wood trees 9 6 Number of AHs losing residential and other structures 7 7 Number of Business entity losing agricultural land 5 8 Total number of AHs (APs) 238 (1369) 9 Total number of AHs entitled to compensation 204 10 Number of Tension (Suspension) towers 36 (228) 11 The total length of section 5, (meters) 83,467

4.1.1 Right of Way

41. According to the Design Institute - SAESP a safety zone of 60 meters width (30 meters from the center of the tower to each side) will be established for 220 kV TL. So Right of Way (RoW) was taken with a width of 60 meters to consider AHs whose structures, and lands for the residential purpose were impacted. To calculate the temporary land impacts the RoW with the width of 12 meters was considered. The safety zone of TLs is a land plot from the surface to the bottom, on which a special procedure is established for the ownership and use of a land plot.

42. The Project is classified as Category B for involuntary resettlement consistent with the definition in para. 8 (ii) of the Bank’s OM Section F1/OP (04 March 2010), which states that: “A proposed project is classified as Category B if it includes involuntary resettlement impacts that are not deemed significant1.

43. To mitigate the impact on crops realigning of the design was applied during the construction works. As a result, the size of the affected lands in some sections decreased which resulted in a reduction of compensation amount for crop loss. In some land plots construction was carried out after harvesting the crops. In these types of affected lands with no crop loss, Crop Loss Reports concluded by AHs, representative of NEGU, and representative of Land Use Planning Institute. These findings of the Crop Loss Reports were verified by the AHs during the interviews.

4.2 Status of impacts

44. Land acquisition activities and construction works started without receiving a notice to proceed from ADB. Compensation payments were done partially.

45. The audit found that the construction of TLs in Section 5 has been carried out from November 2019 to March 2020. Therefore, in some of the affected lands, there was crop loss while the majority of farms had no crop impacts due to construction works.

4.2.1 Impact on land

46. Construction works in Section 5 of the NWRTLP had both temporary and permanent agricultural land acquisition impacts. Permanent impacts were related to the erection of Tension and Suspension towers. All the details of the permanently impacted lands were similar to the details given in the updated LARP. There was no change in the size of permanent land areas and the land was allocated for towers per LARP. Therefore, details on permanent land impacts were not included in this report.

47. However, there is a minor change to the temporary land impacts, which resulted in a decrease of temporary land impacts due to a realigning of design. As a result, some of the affected lands were decreased in size which highlighted in red in summary Table 4.2 below.

1The involuntary resettlement impacts of an ADB-supported project are considered significant if 200 or more persons will experience major impacts, which are defined as (i) being physically displaced from housing, or (ii) losing 10% or more of their productive assets (income generating).

4.4 Summary of Impacts

55. Section 5 of the NWRTLP included both temporary and permanent land acquisition impacts to AHs. Land acquisition activities and construction works started without receiving a notice to proceed from ADB. Compensation payments were done partially. Construction works were carried out from November 2019 to March 2020. Therefore, in some of the affected lands, there was crop loss while the majority of farms had no crop impacts due to construction works. Summary details are given in Table 4.6 below. The summary of this chapter concludes that in terms of the number of affected households Section 5 was properly categorized as “B” with less significant impacts in terms of ADB’s SPS on Involuntary Resettlement as stated in updated LARP.

5. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION

5.1 General

56. Consultation meetings and audits were carried out by telephone interviews and personal interviews carried out with affected households, relevant stakeholders, including the cadastral office, land use engineer, design engineers, transmission line operators of the project.

57. During consultation meetings, the opinions of the AHs have been studied among affected households, their satisfaction level on paid compensations studied. A questionnaire containing questions to verify the paid compensation, satisfaction level of AHs have been filled. A sample of the questionnaire form is attached in Annex 3.

58. Consultations and meetings among affected households have been undertaken from December 2020 - February 2021.

59. The consultations and audit focused on whether entitlements set per updated LARP fulfilled, if any additional impacts on households, farmers, business community buildings, and lands, as well as temporary disruption of livelihood, occurred. Opinions and grievances of affected households regarding impacts have been studied.

6. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

60. Project Implementation Unit under NEGU already established GRM within its branches in Khorezm and Karakalpakstan. The regional branch of NEGU which is the KMPN is responsible for collecting complaints and grievances from AHs and people living near construction sites. KMPN is also collecting complaints made by AHs through contractors working directly on the sites. Additionally, people in village areas used to apply directly to 43 mahalla and Hokimiyat. Hokimiyat currently receives complaints verbally and in writing form and both methods following national legislation are officially recognized and documented. Therefore, the Safeguard specialist at PMU regularly contacting with the Hokimiyat if AHs made complaints.

61. The GRM developed for this subproject is available to AHs and people living or working in nearby construction areas. The Project GRM was disseminated via the LARP disclosure meetings in the leaflets that were distributed to people through local Hokimiyat, the mahalla, village assembly of citizens, or farmers' councils. In case there will be any person impacted by or concerned about the project activities he/she has the right to participate in the GRM.

62. During the audit, no officially made grievances were found on established GRMs. During the consultations affected households also verified that they did not make their grievances on relating issues. However, during the consultations, they have expressed their grievances on affected crops and trees. Based on these complaints, we have concluded that AHs whose crops and trees are affected shall be fully compensated based on the valuation reports and crop loss reports. The Table below elaborates the summary of the grievances made by AHs during the consultations.

Table 6.1: Summary of Grievances made by AHs Type of AHs Means of The content of the Resolution status grievances grievance and Date Raxmatullaev AH received 54% of Otajon farm compensation at replacement cost for affected trees.

The details on crops there was land of the entitled Affected compaction due to compensation amounts Household construction works which are mentioned in the Plots resulted in a decrease in verification of paid the crop yields. AH compensation section. required that compensation is needed for that loss.

7. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE, AND BENEFITS

63. This chapter details the eligibility and entitlements for compensation for assets affected by Section 5 of NWRTLP. 7.1 Independent Valuation Company 64. Independent valuation companies were involved to evaluate the fair market value of the lost trees, assets, and structures. This independent valuation company was also agreed with AHs. Independent valuation company “Estimation Standard” evaluated lost trees and structures in Khazorasp district while Independent valuation company “Mezon Baholash” evaluated lost structure in Bogot district. Thus, all the fees concerning the valuation of trees were paid by NEGU, while fees concerning the valuation of structures were paid by AHs. The compensation for trees will be free of the deduction for the value of the wood left to the AH. The estimation results of the Independent valuation company for the valuation of assets were used as a reference to pay compensation to AHs. Compensation for affected structures is based on the results of the market estimation of the cost of the specified object, including all the related payments, depreciation and transaction costs, and relocation costs. 7.2 Compensation estimation process 65. ADB’s SPS requires that compensation for the acquired land, housing, and other assets be made at full replacement cost before displacement for project components or sections which are ready for construction. Compensation is deemed to have been paid when the amount in cash or cheque has been provided to displaced persons or deposited into their bank account. It is good practice to deposit the compensation amount in a joint account of the husband, wife, and the borrower’s project-level representative to ensure that the compensation is used to pay for replacement assets.

VERIFICATION OF PAID COMPENSATION

66. This chapter provides a comparison of entitled compensation per updated LARP and paid compensations to AHs. In case of discrepancies, the main reasons will be analyzed and presented.

67. NEGU has paid in total 427,321,336 UZS to 50 AHs. There are still standing compensation and allowance payments that were not paid due to an impact trees, and structures. Table 8.1 below summarises the total paid compensations per household.

7.3 Compensation for land impact

69. Compensations for permanent and temporary land acquisition were paid before the development of the updated LARP. The details of the justifications were described in the budget section of the updated LARP, therefore in this audit report, no verification of paid compensations for land impacts is foreseen. The audit found that in terms of permanent land impacts there was no change. All affected residential lands in Khazorasp district received land for land compensation by the Decree of Khazorasp District Hokim (Annex 21 ). Masharipova Saodat in Bogot district was entitled as part of the income restoration measures, a new land of equal size in a neighboring territory which enables to enlarge her territory. The audit found that Bogot district Hokimityat did not issue yet a Land Allocation Decree for a new land plot. A decree of Bogot District shall be issued. All the transaction costs in relation to registration and obtaining new cadastral documents shall be paid by NEGU.

70. Due to realigning of the design, there was a decrease in the total temporary land impacts. The audit verified that no additional lands were acquired for a permanent and temporary period.

7.4 Compensation for crops

71. According to the updated LARP, compensation payment for affected crops is subject to revision in case of i) all crops harvested, ii) no crops at all on the affected lands, or iii)change of crop type at the time of commencement of construction works

72. Loss income from crops planted on the affected land was calculated in monetary value at replacement cost based on average net income computed based on the annual average income over the past 3 years to restore the lands for an affected portion of land. Crop Loss Reports based on the above-described method were applied for AHs whose crops were impacted. During the interviews, some compliance issues were identified to non-payment of compensation for crop losses. These AHs were mostly among household plots, therefore most of the AHs whose dehkan farms were affected were entitled to compensations. There are also AHs who expressed their consents on received compensations and also expressed that there were no crop losses. Therefore, the type of impacted crops and compensation amounts were subject to revision. Table 8.2 below summarises paid and to be paid compensations for crop loss.
