EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A total of nineteen subprojects have been assigned for the preparation of a Resettlement Plan as of 30 June 2014. Five Resettlement Plans were prepared and implemented in-house (by PMO/PIC) before the recruitment and contracting of an INGO to carry out the work. Subsequently fourteen subprojects have been assigned to the INGO for the preparation of Resettlement Plans; ten Resettlement Plans have been approved by ADB and four have been implemented while a further three are under implementation. At three subprojects preparation of the Plan is pending because of social conflict in the WMCA that has yet to be resolved. One subproject was assigned in May 2014.

In the reporting period one (1) Resettlement Plan for Bokrabari Subproject was implemented while three (3) Resettlement Plans for Gouripur, Volda Beel and Kumira Beel subprojects were approved by ADB in May 2014. Implementation of these Plans should be started in the immediate future.

At Santoshpara-Chatra, Adabaria and Kothurakandi subprojects implementation of the Resettlement Plan is on-going.

A total of eighty-three (83) Socio-economic Survey Reports had been submitted to ADB for record by the 30 June 2014, including twenty-one in the reporting period. A further twenty- three (23) are under process either at the district level or in the PMO while the socio- economic survey is pending at seven (7) subprojects until social conflict within the subproject is resolved.

Eight resettlement training courses were held during the reporting period. Four 2-day courses on Resettlement Planning and Implementation for LGED Upazila Engineers and Assistant Engineers attended by 116 participants (all male) and four 2-day courses on Orientation on Resettlement for LGED Community Organizers attended by 120 participants including four females (3%).

SOCIAL MONITORING REPORT OF THE PARTICIPATORY SMALL SCALE WATER RESOURCES SECTOR PROJECT (PSSWRSP)

1. Background

1. The Participatory Small-scale Water Resources Sector Project (PSSWRSP) intends to reduce poverty through increase agricultural production in subproject areas through a sustainable stakeholder driven Small-scale Water Resources (SSWR) management system; and to internalize participatory development processes through the strengthening of the Local Government Engineering Department’s (LGED) Integrated Water Resources Management Unit (IWRMU) to plan, implement, monitor and support sustainable SSWR development. LGED is the Project Executing Agency (EA).

2. The Project builds on lessons from previous ADB investments in the small-scale (less than 1,000 hectares) water resources sector: especially the Small Scale Water Resources Development Sector Project (SSW 1) which was implemented from 1996 to 2002 and developed 280 subproject in the western part of Bangladesh; the Second Small–scale Water Resources Development Sector Project (SSW 2) which commenced in 2002 and was completed in 2009 after developing 275 subproject in 61 of 64 districts of Bangladesh. SSW 3 is the Participatory Small Scale Water Resources Sector Project (PSSWRSP) or the Project.

3. The Project will, by June 2017, develop 270 new subprojects in 46 out of 61 districts of Bangladesh, excluding three districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), and 15 districts in which a similar project is being financed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Based on the agreed subproject selection criteria, the Project will undertake subproject of four types:

 Flood Management, rehabilitate and construct of embankments and/or sluice gates to reduce the depth and duration of farm land flooding;  Drainage improvement, re-excavate of drainage canals to increase the capacity of the drainage systems to benefit agriculture and cultured fisheries;  Water Conservation, to develop the water retention capacity of existing haors, beels and khals to increase availability of irrigation water; and  Command Area Development, to improve existing irrigation systems by providing better distribution systems to increase efficiency and productivity of irrigation water. 4. Water Management Cooperative Association (WMCA) will be established at each subproject and provided with substantial institution support before and during infrastructure development and after subproject construction completion.

2. Resettlement Framework, Legal Obligations of Loan Agreement

5. The Resettlement Framework (RF) is based on the national land acquisition and requisition laws (especially Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance, 1982), the draft National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation (NPRR), 2007 and ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement policy (1995). Note that in July 2009, ADB’s Board of Director approved the New Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) for the governance of the environments and social safe guard of ADB‘s operations. The SPS aims to avoid, minimize or mitigate harmful environmental impacts, social cost, and to help borrowers/clients strengthen their safeguard systems. The SPS’s supersedes ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy (1995), Policy on Indigenous People (1998) and Environment Policy.

Safeguards Monitoring 1 PSSWRSP 6th Semi-Annual Social Safeguards Report January – June 2014

6. However, in accordance with the SPS, the previous policies apply to all projects that were reviewed by ADB management before 20 January 2010. As the loan agreement of the PSSWRSP was signed on 10 September 2009, the PSSWRSP will remain under the 1995 Involuntary Resettlement Policy and the 1998 policy on Indigenous Peoples.

7. The RF provides guidelines for the formulation of subproject Resettlement Plans under the Project and will apply to all subprojects to be prepared under the Project. The RF ensures that all Affected-Persons (APs) tilled, or non-titled, will be eligible for appropriate compensation packages under the Project. The RF confirmed that, considering the high level of beneficiary participation in the project and relatively minor land acquisition at a few subprojects a negotiated settlement for land acquisition will be preferred option to the formal land acquisition processes.

8. Indigenous People (IPs) live in some district of Bangladesh especially those boarding India and Myanmar. No major impacts on them are anticipated. Since at the time of project preparation the subprojects were not identified, the project was Classified B. Feasibility studies will investigate and prepare IP plans, if necessary. If IPs are adversely affected by subprojects they will be compensated according to the RF and according to the ADB’s policy on Indigenous People (1998). In addition to the RF, an Indigenous Peoples Development Framework (IPDF) was prepared for the PSSWRSP and seeks to ensure that IPs, if present in the subproject villages, are informed, consulted and mobilized to participate in subproject preparation.

9. The IPDF was intended to guide selection and preparation of additional subprojects under the project where impacts on IPs are identified to ensure better distribution of the Project benefits and to promote development for IPs found to be within the subproject areas. The ADB’s policy on IP aims to protect ethnic minorities from the adverse impact of development, and ensure that ethnic minorities benefit from development projects. The need for an Indigenous Peoples Specific Plan (IPSAP) will be established on the basis of the criteria set out in the ADB’s policy on IPs. The IPSAP will ensure that project affected IPs are at least as well off with the project as without it.

10. As there is limited number of IPs living in the districts under the Project, in most subprojects no IP communities will be affected. Further, as the project procedures are designed to ensure the participation of all local stakeholders including IPs, and since the subprojects will improve the overall environment and agricultural production, no adverse impact on IPs is likely where they are found in subproject areas. If the impact on IP are determined to be insignificant, then specific actions in favor of the IPs will be integrated in Resettlement Plan developed for subprojects or a common Community Action Plan including IPs and non-IPs will be developed.

3. Semi-annual Social Safeguards Report

11. This report is the 6th Semi-annual Social Safeguards Report covering the period January – June 2014. Overall progress is summarized in Table 1 below and detailed in Appendix 1. Table 1 summarizes the progress, as of 30 June 2014. The table sets out projected targets for subprojects requiring a Resettlement Plans by Year of Project and Batch Number. At subprojects where an RP is not required the socio-economic survey carried by the district LGED staff with assistance from the PMO is used to produce a Socio-economic Survey Report (SESR) that is submitted to ADB for record.

5. Socio-economic Survey Reports

34. After completion of the detailed design the PMO socio-economist organizes a Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) that includes a census and socio-economic survey (SES) at the subproject4. The SES is carried out to identify any adversely affected-persons (APs) and to what extent, if any, they are impacted including an assessment of their residential properties/assets in the locality. Conversely it can also establish there are no adversely affected-persons in the subproject. The survey team consists of WMCA representatives, local government representatives, district socio-economist, Upazila Engineer and Community Organizer, representative of district executive engineer of LGED. Focus group discussions are organized. Each member of the socio economic survey team certificates the information collected. The survey forms are cross checked by the PMO socio-economist who prepares the Socio-economic Survey Report with assistance from the PIC Team Leader taking into account the finding of the survey data, field visit, focus group discussions, and meeting with different stakeholder. The SESR is submitted to ADB along with sample copies of the socio-economic survey forms for record.

6. Consultation and Disclosure

6.1 Consultation and Stakeholders Participation

35. Consultation with the affected-persons and communities were carried at all stages by PMO/PIC/INGO. The detail information regarding the formation of Property Valuation Advisory Team (PVAT), Resettlement Advisory Committee (RAC) and Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) was communicated to the subproject beneficiaries. After approval of the Resettlement Plan by ADB it was published on LGED website. Subsequently the salient feature of Resettlement Plan was translated into Bangla and produced in the form of a brochure. The brochure includes the Entitlement of the affected person and structure of committees and their terms of reference. The brochure was distributed to the beneficiaries and affected persons of the subproject area. It was made available to WMCA office and Union Parishad office for public access to the document.

6.2 Grievance Redress Mechanism

36. The Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives through gazette notification formed two committees namely Property Valuation Advisory Team (PVAT) and Grievance Redress Committee GRC vide no 40.068.004.00.00.002.2011-161 dated 10-03- 2011 for implementation of subproject Resettlement Plans. The GRC was formed for resolving any grievance involving resettlement benefits, relocation and other assistance. The scope and responsibility of the Grievance Redress Committee has been clearly defined in the gazette.

37. The GRC consists of the local Representative from LGED who will chair the GRC. Members will include APs representatives, including one male and female, representative of Union Parishad and one member from the INGO, who will act as member secretary. The GRC is formed immediately after approval of Resettlement Plan.

4 The SESR methodology has been presented in detail in previous reports for example “No. 4: Semi Annual Social Monitoring Report July 2013” and is not repeated in this report

Safeguards Monitoring 10 PSSWRSP 6th Semi-Annual Social Safeguards Report January – June 2014

38. Prior to the using GRC, all efforts will be made to reach informal resolution of an AP grievance. If this fails only then will the GRC be approached by an AP having a grievance. Grievance cases from the APs will be received in the office of the chair person. Upon receipt of complaint, the GRC will organize a hearing and pass verdict, which will be formally conveyed to the concerned APs. The GRC will settle the disputes within 15 days of receiving the complaints from an AP If not resolved at the GRC or project level, the matter may be deferred to a Court of Law.

7. Training

39. In the reporting period eight (8) resettlement training courses were held, Table 9, four (4) courses in Resettlement Planning and Implementation and four (4) courses in Orientation on Resettlement. The courses were attended by 116 and 120 participants respectively; four females Community Organizers (3%) attended the courses on Orientation in Resettlement.

40. Course coordinators are encouraged to evaluate the efficiency of course delivery where appropriate through pre- and post-course evaluation. Participants complete questionnaires before the course to determine their entrance level knowledge. This is followed by a post-training evaluation questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. Evaluation was carried out at the two (2) of the Orientation on Resettlement courses, the results of the evaluation tests are shown in Table 10. The pre-training test scores ranged from sixteen (16) per cent to almost twenty-two (21.7) per cent suggesting that knowledge of resettlement was generally limited. Post-training scores showed substantial increases, with average marks increasing to almost seventy (70) per cent and just over sixty eight (68.2) per cent. The increased test scores indicate that the trainers

Safeguards Monitoring 11 PSSWRSP 6th Semi-Annual Social Safeguards Report January – June 2014

succeeded in communicating the course content and participants had an increase understanding of resettlement. However, the post course marks strongly suggest there is scope for improving the participant’s knowledge of resettlement.

41. It should be noted that pre- and post-testing only measures short-term change in understanding of the subject matter. They do not measure changes in behavior or job performance. Nevertheless, they do provide a form of quantitative feedback to the resource persons, which can facilitate adjustments to the training courses and program.

42. The details of training courses are shown in the Appendix 2 including the course program, a summary of the content and resource persons and a list of participants.

8. Indigenous People

43. To date, no Indigenous People (IP) has been recorded in any subproject feasibility study reports. The ADB’s policy on IPs aims to protect ethnic minorities from the adverse impacts of development, and to ensure that ethnic minorities benefit from development projects. The need for an Indigenous People Specific Action Plan will be established on the basis of the criteria set out in the ADB’s policy on IPs.

9. Gender Issues

44. As per Entitlements Matrix female headed households as vulnerable APs are entitled to additional cash grants. There is a provision to undertake training programs for the poor and vulnerable for livelihood restoration, where possible female are employed in the project during construction. In the reporting period the three Resettlement Plans approved identified thirty (30) households headed by females.

10. Supervision and Monitoring

45. LGED is holding regular meeting which are attended by the project personnel of CCDB. Moreover, the area managers and supervisors are attending the meetings when required. In these meetings both the monthly progress and problems are reviewed, analyzed and necessary instructions are given.

46. LGED district staff will carry out follow-up monitoring at subprojects where Resettlement Plans have been implemented to ensure the compensation has been adequate in maintaining the livelihoods of adversely impacted households.

11. Conclusions

47. Stakeholders’ participation in resettlement of the adversely affected-persons is a major concern of the RP implementation. The Project has placed high priority on such participation. The Project is extending its expertise to make it a success. However, a number of constraints and challenges have been identified in implementation of RP. Considerable time is taken for release of compensation funds from AG office to the Executive Engineer. During rainy season the subproject remains under water and SES and PVAT operations should not be carried out to avoid and inaccuracy in the data collected.

48. A total of eighteen (18) subprojects have been assigned for the preparation of a Resettlement Plan as of 30 June 2014. Five (5) Resettlement Plans were prepared and implemented in-house (by PMO/PIC) before the recruitment and contracting of an INGO to carry out the work. Subsequently thirteen (13) subprojects have been assigned to the INGO for the preparation of Resettlement Plans; four (4) have been implemented, three (3) are under implementation, three (3) have been prepared and approved by ADB and are awaiting implementation and three (3) are pending because of social conflict in the WMCA that has yet to be resolved.

49. In the reporting period one (1) Resettlement Plan for Bokrabari Subproject was implemented while three (3) Resettlement Plans for Gouripur Subproject, Volda Beel Subproject and Kumira Subproject were approved by ADB in May 2014. Implementation of these Plans should be started in the immediate future.

50. A total of eighty-three (83) Socio-economic Survey Reports had been submitted to ADB for record by the 30 June 2014, including twenty-one in the reporting period. A further twenty-three (23) are under process either at the district level or in the PMO while the socio- economic survey is pending at seven (7) subprojects until social conflict within the subproject is resolved.
