I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. Urban Water Supply and Sanitation (Sector) Project (UWSSP) is supporting Nepal in expanding access to community-managed water supply and sanitation (WSS) in 20 project municipalities by drawing on experiences and lessons from three earlier projects funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The project is financing climate-resilient and inclusive WSS infrastructure in project municipalities and strengthen institutional and community capacity, sustainable service delivery, and project development. It is being implemented by, Project Management office Kathmandu under the Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Management, who will address any resettlement impacts, permanent or temporary, during project implementation

2. This semi annual report presents the Social Safeguard Documents; Resettlement Plan (RP)/ DDR implementing status till December 2020.The overall project is classified as Social Safegurds category B in accordance with ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009. ADB's SPS covers both temporary and permanent impacts implementation.

3. 14 projects are under implementation in three geographic regions of Nepal. No land acquisition is required for the proposed projects. Measures to avoid and minimize private land acquisition and involuntary resettlement impacts were adopted. No significant livelihood and income related impacts are anticipated. Adequate vacant government land is available at each project sites. Temporary impact to local residents and pedistrians due to pipe laying work is avoided by good traffic management plan. Efforts are continuing to avoid adverse impact.

4. A total of 54 major consultative/orientation/Trainings/ meeting were held in community to disseminate project information and project entitlements. The meeting covered issues of community participation as well as and other project related activities. The regular meeting with sub projects town community members and stakeholders is continuous. Grievance Redress Committees has been formed in all 12 subprojects.

5. The GRCs have been addressing grievance recorded during implementation of subprojects. During this reporting period 36 cases of grievances have been filed in subprojects. All grievances are resolved by field level GRC. One grievance recorded in Siddhanath- Baijanath subproject is resolved verbally through interaction with complainant, local user and WUSC ; perhaps the minutes of meeting will be included in next QPR.

6. The Project Management Office (PMO) and Regional Project Management Office (RPMO) have set up institutional requirement for the implementation of Resettlement Plan and the Resettlement Plan implementation is continuous.

7. All the 14 subprojects are being monitored regularly in terms of social safeguard and resettlement perspective. Most of the water supply structures are built either on a public land or land already owned by concerned WUSCs. The issues of temporary affected persons during implementation (digging of trench for pipeline) are being dealt as per GRM and EMP.

8. Follow up Actions, Recommendation and Disclosure

9. The implementation of OBA provisions as per the agreement made between PMO and WUSC needs to speed up in applicable remaining subprojects.

10. Due to continuous effects of COVID-19 in different forms, alternative modalities should be adopted to continue monitoring of the sub-project implementation to assess the Involuntary Resettlement impacts and accordingly mitigate the issues. • Emphasize to conduct stakeholder consultations, FGDs, Meetings and site visits by using preventative measures at the subproject locations.

Semi-Annual Social Monitoring Report (July to December 2020)

• Assess the need of additional awareness program on grievance redress mechanism and carry out the necessary awareness programs among the community people/stakeholders in subproject implementation locations. • Social Safeguard Specialist and Social Mobiliser of CRDSMC, ERDSMC and WRDSMC shall coordinate and facilitate the social safeguards activities in subproject areas. Mitigation measures, monitoring works as well as awareness raising activities shall be implemented with the involvement of the contractor and WUSC. • Required support shall be provided to safeguard desk in each subproject with the help of WUSC. • The regular follow up and monitoring of safeguard compliance will be continued. The project team will be involved in monitoring and providing instruction to contractors, if, they fail to comply with the safeguard compliance.

II. BACKGROUND OF THE REPORT AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

11. The Urban Water Supply and Sanitation (Sector) Project (UWSSP) is supporting Nepal in expanding access to community-managed water supply and sanitation (WSS) in 20 project municipalities by drawing on experiences and lessons from three earlier interventions projects funded by the Asian Development Bank. The project will finance climate-resilient and inclusive WSS infrastructure in project municipalities and strengthen institutional and community capacity, sustainable service delivery, and project management. It will also contribute in strengthening sector policy, regulatory capacity and project development.

12. Since the establishment of 276 urban municipalities in 2015, 58% of Nepal’s population out of 29 million is urban. Rapid urbanization resulting from migration, reclassification and natural growth— has widened the urban infrastructure deficit. Unmanaged urban growth and lack of improved WSS has led to environmental degradation, public health risks, increased vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and natural hazards, a rise in urban poverty, and hampered economic growth. Since 2000, Nepal has made strong efforts to improve access to WSS. It increased water supply coverage from 73% to 84% and basic sanitation from 30% to 81% between 2000 and 2015. Yet, in 2016 only 34% of water supply was reported to be safe and only 15% complied with the national water quality standards. More efforts are also needed to achieve improved sanitation; only 34% of urban households have septic tanks and only 15% have sewer connections. Faecal sludge management and sanitation for marginalized groups, especially for women headed households and poor households remain a challenge. Overall, municipalities find it difficult to provide adequate, cost-effective services because they lack funds, skilled personnel and sufficient operation and maintenance budgets (PAM-UWSSP, Feb 2019).

13. The government targets for WSS services focus on inclusive development to improve functionality, enhance service levels, and expand municipal sanitation. The government has defined institutional responsibilities and service delivery mechanisms in the sector. The Ministry of Water Supply (MOWS) is responsible for planning, implementation, regulation, and monitoring of WSS; its Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Management (DWSSM) supports the provision of WSS facilities in municipalities where service level improvement is required, and these are operated by water users and sanitation committees (WUSCs) or municipalities.

14. Extending water supply and sanitation services to areas dealing with hardship is still a priority in Nepal. However, there are other issues; migration from hinterland to road centre is very common in Nepal.This has created many small towns, urban areas especially along the highways in Terai and hills as well. In these urban areas/towns, the improvement of the water supply and sanitation service level is most desirable; moreover, the quality of water has to be assured. Quality of drinking water in Nepal was overlooked in the past due to various reasons.

Semi-Annual Social Monitoring Report (July to December 2020)

15. UWSSP ensure both in terms of quantity and quality of drinking water and sanitation as well as the Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI), social and environmental aspects.

16. The scope of services of the project is to improve health and quality of life of the people living in the project areas by facilitating water supply, drainage and sanitation facilities as well as by providing health and hygiene education programmes in the project areas of urban towns/municipalities in the country.

2.1 Goal and Objectives of the Project 17. The objectives of the project are: • To support Nepal in expanding access to community-managed water supply and sanitation (WSS) in 20 project municipalities by drawing on experiences and lessons from three earlier projects funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).and • To finance in climate-resilient and inclusive WSS infrastructure project municipalities and strengthen institutional and community capacity, sustainable service delivery, and project development. 2.2 Project Impact and Outcome 18. The project is aligned with the following impact: quality of life for urban population, including the poor and marginalized, improved through the provision of sustainable WSS services. The project will have the following outcome: inclusive and sustainable access to WSS services in project municipalities achieved. It has 2 major outputs as envisaged by the project. The first output is improved water supply and sanitation infrastructure, second is strengthened institutional and community capacities.

2.3 Monitoring Requirements 19. Monitoring is very important for ensuring social safeguard compliance. Three RDSMCs are involved in UWSSP for overall project monitoring. ERDSMC in east, CRDSMC in Central and WRDSMC in West are responsible for overall project management and monitoring in respective region.

20. DSMCs prepare monthly, quarterly and semi-annual progress reports of each town projects. Resettlement activities of the projects are generally incorporated in the reports submitted to each RPMO. RPMO with assistant from DSMC specialist consolidate their reports into semi-annual monitoring report and submit to PMO. PMO with assistant from PMQAC social safegiards specialist consolidate their reports into semi-annual monitoring report and submit to ADB. This report describes the progress of the implementation of resettlement activities, grievance redress mechanism, compliance issues and corrective actions. Any problems or issues identified will be followed-up (including recommendation of mitigation measures and supplementary budget); and learning from such issues will be recorded which will help to deal with issues in future.

2.4 Key Sub Project Components Works 21. The project infrastructures are intakes, deep well borings, overhead reservoir tanks, sump wells, collection wells, ground reservoir tanks, transmission and distribution pipe lines, water treatment plants, office buildings, tube wells, public toilets, electrical and electro-mechanical works (SCADA) including other associated works.

2.5 Reporting Period 22. This semi-annual social safeguard monitoring report includes the status of safeguard implementation activities in three region, 14 projects Municipalities under UWSSP covering the period of July to December 2020.Two Sub projects; Katahariya Storm Drainage Project and Tikapur Storm Drainage and Faecal slued Treatment Plant Project's contract are awarded recently and work has not started yet. Progress of these two projects shall be covered in next reporting period.

V. COMPENSATION, REHABILITATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES

32. Land acquisition activity is not associated under the Loan 3711-NP for Urban Water Supply Sanitation (Sector) Project.The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) 2034 (1977A.D) sets out compensation standards and benefits such as compensation for lost assets at market value, provision for alternative land and compensation for standing crops and trees. To cover resettlement related requirements of the Project Affected Persons (PAP's), under Loan 3711-NP, a Resettlement policy Framework is in place. The policy ensures benefits to non-titled persons such as encroachers, squatters, shared croppers and informal tenant with appropriate displacement allowances for relocation and income restoration assistance. The Compensation Determination Committee (CDC) headed by Chief District Officer is responsible for evaluation of property and its compensation.The resettlement framework emphasizes that compensation should enable project affected people to maintain the existing to better standard of living.

33. As per the monthly reports and resettlement due diligence reports prepared by DSMC of each subproject no affected person or households are found.

34. Most of the subprojects under UWSSP are/will be implemented either on government lands (owned by government roads) or within the RoW of Public Road owed and maintained by respective municipalities. WUSCs or Local governments have assured that required land will be provided to use to the project.

35. Temporary impacts to traffic/access to shops and residences due to digging and excavation of trenches for laying of water supply pipe line are mitigated by ensuring access to properties, through provisions of pedestrian wooden walkways, provision of adequate signage, and careful traffic management. In some areas, traffic diversions with prior planning and proper traffic management plan by the contractors in consultation with the traffic police authorities and the community were required. The community people were duly informed about the subprojects and consulted before start of civil work. The mitigation measures were implemented at the sites. The photographs are attached in Appendix 3.

36. Compensation and mitigation measures include the following: 37. During the reporting period updating of RP/DDR of all sub projects under construction phase and contract awarded were completed and approved by ADB. During previous reporting period compensation worth NRs.49, 789 to one of the informal land user was processed for payment but it was delayed due to pandemic and countrywide lockdown.

38. Mr. Bhim Raj Gharti Magar, 65 years old, resident of Gurbhakot Municipality, ward no 6 was possessing public land/Gurbhakot Municipality a total area of 7-0-0-0 (Seven Ropanis, that is, 3561.0 square meter) land within the Municipality. Out of this possessed area, Bhim Raj Gharti, had provided Subhaghat Water Users and Sanitation Committee 440 sq m. land for construction of physical structures including road tracks, tanks and generator house under Shubhaghat Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project. Although he was entitled to receive NPR 49,789.00 (In words forty-nine thousand seven hundred eighty-nine rupees only) from Subaghat UWSSP as compensation to permanent loss of agriculture land, compensation for crop loss, income restoration and permanent loss of agriculture based livelihood. He and his family didn’t want to receive the amount as compensation and they decided to voluntarly donate the compensation amount to the subproject. Furthermore, they assure not to claim compensation in future too. They have provided a consent letter for voluntary donation of compensation amount for the subproject. The detail third party verification/recommendation is attached in Annex-6.

A. Regarding the advance of Rs. 1500/- per household from the users of Ward No.7 mentioned in point no. 1 of the agreement; it has been decided to collect the advance amount of Rs. 1500/- from 258 households of the area. The rest are being collected from the remaining households. B. As the users of Ward No. 7 are already using water supply from various sources and the Charikot Water Supply and Sanitation Users Committee has decided to impose a minimum tariff of up to 12,000 liters after the Charikot Water Supply and Sanitation Project comes into operation, the Committee seems to be committed to this as per the agreement. C. As per the agreement mentioned in point 3 of the agreement, the households added as users of Charikot Water Supply Project in Ward No. 7, Makaibari area have become members.The Committee has decided to charge 50 percent less connection fee for the additional houses than the users of other Wards.

In the meeting, it was agreed in the presence of the representative of the Town Development Fund to deposit 5 percent amount in the Water Resource Management Fund and to collect additional 5 percent amount from the users after the completion of the project. The Charikot Water Supply Users Committee seems to be committed in this regard as it has already decided to collect additional 5 percent from the users and set aside the amount for the Water Resource Management Fund after the completion of the project. E. As per the suggestion of the concerned technicians of Charikot Water Supply Project regarding the agreement mentioned in point no. 5 of the agreement, it is not necessary to use other existing water sources of ward no.7. And it seems that a decision has been made by that committee. F.

And two persons of this Ward, Ms. Samjhana Basnet and Mr. Kumar Basnet have been found working as employees of the project. G.

There are some essential items for the project but not included in the BOQ and some items are added so various items to be included in variation order –I were discussed and recommended on the following topics: a. Soil work: Pankot–Golai area is included in this project, therefore extra quantity of pipeline is included & some location of structure is changed to Bhopur station.

In reinstatement of concrete roads: Concrete road length in Chainpur bazaar has to be dismantle for laying the water supply pipeline work as well as for re concreting by M15 grade of concrete, In actual BoQ quantity was less. Therefore total quantity is increased & included in VO-01. c. Miscellaneous: In order to provide protection for two sump well in Seti river Gabion quantity was calculated less in actual BoQ, therefore extra required quantity is included in VO-01 d. Regarding the pipeline: During the design of the project, the pipeline required in different was not taken accurately in the BOQ and inclusion of Pankot- Golai area was added to the variation order –I. e. Stone Wall: Since different structure of the Chainpur Water Supply and Sanitation Project are located on a sloping slope, almost all the structures have to be protected with stone masonry retaining wall in order to reduce the probability of landslide, so extra quantity is included as per site condition in VO –I. f. Regarding Tractor: The tractor to be provided is 45 HP in BOQ but project site is in a hilly area, tractor of that capacity will not be able to meet the demand. So at least 65 HP tractor to be added to variation order –I, but in final discussion with RPMO team this consideration is omitted therefore in revised final VO-01 original contract value & specification of tractor is taken.
