Indigenous Peoples Impact Categorization Report under Participatory Small Scale Water Resources Sector Project (PSSWRSP), LGED.

1. Introduction The Asian Development Bank (ADB) recognizes the rights of Indigenous Peoples to direct the course of their own development. Indigenous Peoples are increasingly threatened as development programs infringe into areas that they traditionally own, occupy, use or view as ancestral domain. Special efforts are needed to engage Indigenous People in the planning of development programs that affect them, in, particular, development programs that are supposedly designed to meet their specific needs and aspiration. Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) is implementing 270 new subprojects being aware of safeguard issues of Indigenous Peoples in Bangladesh.

2. Background The Participatory Small-scale Water Resources Sector Project (PSSWRP) is the outcome of lessons learned from previous ADB, Dutch and IFAD investments in First & Second Small Scale Water Resources Development Sector Projects from 1996 to 2010 which has developed 580 subprojects in 61 districts of Bangladesh. The Project aims to develop sustainable, stakeholder-driven small-scale water resources management systems. It has three outputs: (i) institutional strengthening of government agencies at all levels to support small scale water resources (SSWR) development, (ii) participatory subproject development, which will include poor and vulnerable groups and will enable WMCA to plan, implement, operate and maintain subprojects; and (iii) construction and maintenance of 270 new subprojects and performance enhancement of 150 subprojects (out of 580 completed from SSW-1 & SSW-2 subprojects).

During identification, preparation of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), Feasibility Study (FS) and Detail Design (DD) the subproject beneficiaries were consulted about the presence of Indigenous Peoples within the command area. Moreover, while preparing Socio economic survey report and Environmental Mitigation Plan the aspect of Indigenous Peoples were investigated. Though there are habitations of Indigenous People in the many districts of Bangladesh but in the subprojects under study within PSSWRSP the existence of Indigenous Peoples are not found. There are subprojects where the benefits of infrastructure development and institutional activities are influenced to the area where there are habitations of Indigenous Peoples.

The Project is jointly funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The total project cost is USD119.797 million: The loan (L2542-BAN) was approved by ADB on 4 September 2009 for USD55.0 million. IFAD provides two loans amounting to USD32.0 million, and domestic contributions amount to USD 32.8 million. The first IFAD loan (loan no.786) was approved by IFAD’s Executive Board on 15 September 2009 and became effective on 6 November 2009. The second loan (loan no.808) was approved on 22 April 2010 and became effective on 18 October 2010. Project completion and closing dates are 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018 respectively.

3. ADB’s Policy for Safeguards on Indigenous Peoples An agreement with the ADB on Principle of action adopted about Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 during implementation/ operation of the Subprojects, if it has been transpired that the Indigenous People have been identified within the Subproject catchment areas, however the project will prepare an indigenous peoples development framework (IPDF) in accordance with in a manner of corresponding to ADB,s Policy on Indigenous People (April 1998) and will be presented as supplementary Appendix.

The Indigenous people development framework (IPDF) will guide selection, screening, categorization, assessment and preparation by IWRMP of additional subprojects under the Project where impacts on IPs are identified to ensure better distribution of the Project benefits and to promote development of any IPs found within the Project area and to facilitate compliance with the requirements specified in ADB SPS Safeguard Requirements 3: on Indigenous People.

4. Indigenous Peoples in Bangladesh In Bangladesh Native to a reason were more than 4000,000 ethnic households in 2004 and spread all over the country at about 11,000 villages/places and constituted about 1.5% percent of total population of the country. However, ethnic group has been year marked/identified as IP group by the Bangladesh Bureau of statistics (BBS) and identified 30 IP groups in Bangladesh in 1991 census (Latest available relevant data). They are belonging from different ethnic communities and commonly identified as representatives of different tribes and the Bangladesh Population Census identified them as Tribal people. Distribution of different ethnic (IP) population within the Division is shown in Table 1.

5. Indigenous Peoples in Project area The Feasibility and Socioeconomic study ascertained that the interventions in the subproject will not directly cause any adverse impact of the IPs. Most of the SPs catchment area is isolated and maroon type of landscape like water bodies, Khal, Beel and cultivable lands with object to conservation of irrigation water and improvement of drainage systems to grow more production of crops. There may be less affected inhabitants/squatters within the SPs which are relevance to LA, RP and voluntary RP, so no economic and physical displacement would occur due to implementation of the SP.

There is no adjacent affected IP to the SPs identified, who will lose homestead, crops, trees in the titled or non-titled area as a result of SP construction activities. There are no Indigenous people resident or employed in the locality and there is no negative social impact and adverse affect due to SP implementation.

Project implemented within the six Divisions (Dhaka, Chittagonj, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Rangpur) under forty three (43) districts of two hundred seventy (270) subprojects, there is no Indigenous People have been identified and live at the project sites, however an account of imaginary, an IP’s Frame Work (IPF) has been prepared and presented as supplementary Appendix. The IPF presents guidelines for addressing issues relating to IP whenever they are found to be taken into consideration near future candidate of the subprojects. This narrated story/brief may be treated as justification “No Indigenous People/Small Ethnic Communities lives in the Subprojects areas.”

Table 2: Indicates identification of Indigenous Peoples living in the subproject area.

To describe about the current status of IPs in the Project location categorization forms of forty three (43) project districts have been filled in and attached in Annexure. Based on the assessment of Design, Location, feasibility and socioeconomic study reports on safeguards requirements of Indigenous Peoples, the Project may be treated as ‘C’ category.

6. Recommendations: The PMO and PIC recommends that due to Project/Subproject interventions, if any negative impact identified on IP family to the accumulated impacts would be effectively dealing with object to remove the hindrance in accordance with the ADB’s Safeguard Policy on Indigenous peoples guideline. However, during Project implementation period the PMO/PIC will adopt close monitoring on IPs with object to find out any impacts; that Indigenous Peoples Impact Categorization Report 3 PSSWRSP September, 2016

would be solved through Resettlement Plans implementation. In addition, the Grievances Redress Committee (GRC) has been formed for resolving any grievances involving about IPs. GRC will have the power to resolve and settle the issues preemptive to their being addressed through the legal system and as per charter duties and responsibilities of the GRC.

7. Conclusion: This report reflects the scenario of IPs inhabitations in the subproject catchment area which have been identified all over the 270 SPs of 43 districts within the six (06) divisions. To find out the IPs in the SPs, different methods and process were applied of by Focus Group Discussion (FGD), face to face interview etc. Primary data was collected by interviewing various stakeholders from the villages/communities inside the SP area, in process of performing feasibility study of the SP including hydrological, engineering, agricultural, fishery, and environmental, social analyses etc. There are very few Indigenous People (i.e. Rakhain/ Sautal) resident or employed in the locality and there are no negative social impacts on IPs.

Project Team Comments: BRM Comments:  The Project will implement about 270 subprojects in 43 districts of the country, excluding three districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts from 2010- 2017 to reduce the poverty level of the country by increasing agricultural and fishery production. 

12 Subprojects were designed in 5 districts of Division as per the list attached (ATTACHMENT-1):  Although in some of the project districts (i.e. Gazipur, Manikganj etc.) there are scattered habitats of Indigenous Peoples (IP)/Small Ethnic Communities (SEC), but “No IP/SEC” lives in the subproject areas, according to the feasibility studies and socio-economic surveys conducted within the catchment areas of each of the subprojects. As the subprojects are small scale water resources structures related to agriculture and fisheries development, they will not have indirect negative impact on the neighboring SECs, if there is any. The subproject will also not directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of the neighboring IP/SECs or affects the territories or natural or cultural resources that IPs own, use, occupy, or claim as their ancestral domain.  So, all the subprojects of the above list under Dhaka division are categorized as “C” for IP safeguards.
