Summary 1. The Project.
The Road Sector Assistance Project II (RSAP II) aims at improving two road sections of A006 highway. The total length of these road sections is 133km. The road sections run through four provinces of the country. (Sri Lanka is administratively divided into 9 provinces).
A detailed social assessment was carried out for these road sections selected for rehabilitation. An Entitlement Matrix was also prepared to define categories of PAPs and types of mitigation measures.
The Resettlement Plan is prepared in compliance with the Government‟s National Policy on Involuntary Resettlement and World Bank‟s Policies in particular on Operational Policy (OP): 4.12.
1.2 Proposed Road sections of the project
The project will improve and rehabilitate the following two road sections of the A006 highway.

------2. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement.
It has found that small portions (2550m2) of lands (for 19m corridor) are required to purchase or acquire for this road construction at some places. Under this category Sixty eight (68) households will be losing their lands and total population of these households is 188.
As per designs;
Total land requirement : 1885m2 Government owned lands : 1075m2 Privately owned lands : 810m2 Number of affected households : 06 Number of persons of affected households: 22
The lands will be purchased on willing buyer-willing seller basis. It will be at the replacement value at current market prices. The seller will have the option to refuse it. If any acquisition is carried out it will follow normal acquisition procedure without following the section 38A Proviso, which is the emergency procedure of the LAA.
The RDA will follow a transparent process to purchase or acquire required lands for the project as follows;
The lands will be taken on willing buyer-willing seller basis. The RDA ensures that land is appropriate for the intended purpose. It will be at the replacement value at current market prices of the area. The seller will have the option to refuse it. It will be at replacement value at current market prices. It does not negatively impact on the livelihood of any vulnerable group, and if so, the community developed mitigation measures are acceptable to the affectee. There are no encumbrances on the lands. The lands should not belong to any person who is below the poverty line.
The entire project (for 19m corridor) creates impacts on 1099 PAPs. and they belong to 407 families. The details about PAPs and the properties are summarized in Table 2.
As per designs;
The details about PAPs and the properties are provided in Table 3.

3. Socio-Economic Profile and Vulnerability of PAPs
The PAPs belong to 407 households. About 7% of the households affected are reported as women headed households. The rest, 93% of households are male headed units. Only about 1.5% of the affected PAPs have obtained higher education. Majority (25%) have studied up to grade 6 and 10. About 10% of the PAPs have no formal education while 19% is reported as primary level education (Grade 1 to 5). Nearly 74% of PAPs are Sinhala. The 2nd largest ethnic group affected is Muslim (16%) and nearly 10% of PAPs are Tamils.
Only 9% of the families are reported as families getting some small assistance from the government. Nearly 35% of the PAPs are involved in moderate and small business activities.
4. Policy Framework and Entitlements
The policy framework and entitlements in this project have been built upon the requirements of the Government of Sri Lanka, principally the Land Acquisition Act (1950 and revised in 1979) and the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (2001) and also World Bank‟s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (O.P. 4. 12). Provisions and principles adopted in this RAP and are required to meet the standards established in the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy and World Bank‟s policy. The Project entitlements have been designed to provide compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation for lost assets and restore or enhance the livelihoods of all categories of affected people. Detailed project entitlement matrix is discussed in chapter 5.
5. Implementation Arrangements and Budget
The Project Director and the relevant staff of the PMU with the assistance from the RDA will be responsible to implement the project. Most of the issues related to resettlement have been identified and mitigation provided in the RP. The implementation arrangements for implementing the RP and the resettlement budget are provided in chapters 6 and 7. The roles and responsibilities of the different personnel are also identified in the RP.
6. Participation and Grievance Redress Mechanism
The RP suggests establishing a grievance redressal mechanism for redressal and mitigation of the negative impacts. The public will be adequately informed about the grievances redressal mechanism and the RDA will continue informing the new development of the project to the public through the identified communication and public awareness mechanism. Details are provided in chapter 6. The Grievances Redress mechanism is a multi faceted one and aims to respond to the requirements of the project over its life cycle.
5 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------For minor matters the GN and the social staff of the project will be responsible to respond to them. At the next level, complaints can be registered in the office of the RE through entering it in the complaint register. Complaints can be in verbal or written forms but must be entered in the register. The complaints and their resolution status will be closely monitored. At the next level the Grievance Redressal Committee can be called upon to provide resolutions to complaints. Its composition and functions have been laid out in the RP.
7. Information Disclosure
Information disclosure is a very important aspect of the RP and the Project will ensure that all relevant information is available to all stakeholders over the life of the project. Key information on resettlement issues will be provided to the affected persons as well as the other stakeholders, and agency staff in each sub project (road) area. However, during this study all the affected people were interviewed and therefore, the resettlement study team had opportunities to provide the PAPs with further details. The Resettlement Plan will be disclosed to the PAPs and other stakeholder agencies through the existing mechanisms of communication. The executive summary of the RP will be translated into the local languages and disclosed to all affectees, communities and stakeholders. The RDA will use its web-site also to disseminate the information of the RP.
8. Monitoring and Evaluation
A monitoring and reporting system has been provided in the RP. However, the RDA will improve the process of monitoring. The improved monitoring mechanism will help to achieve following specific objectives.
(i) to ensure that the livelihood systems/ activities of the public are not disturbed by the project (ii) to monitor whether the time lines are being met; (iii) to assess if compensation, rehabilitation measures are sufficient; (iv) to identify problems or potential problems; and (v) to identify methods for responding immediately to mitigate problems.
9. Total Cost Plan.
The budget prepared for mitigation of impacts is explained in detailed in Chapter 7. The total cost for social impact mitigation for each package is given below.
Ambepussa-Dambulla road section: SLR 13,611,850.00
Kanthale-Trincomalee road section: SLR 15,576,350.00

Introduction Background and Methodology
1. Background of the Geographic area and the Justification of the Project
The Ambepussa – Dambulla (00km to 90km of A006 road) and Kantale – Trincomalee (157km to 200km of A006 road) road sections of the Road Sector Assistance Project –II traverse over important geographic areas in Sri Lanka in terms of environmental, cultural, economic, social and political spheres.
While these road sections run over diverse geographical areas and connect different regions such as wet and dry climatic zones, production areas with markets and service sectors with industries bringing different races and religious groups together.
It can also be surmised that the Road Sector Assistance Project –II joins urban areas with rural and densely populated urban areas and sparsely populated underdeveloped rural areas (Map 1.1).
Therefore, this project would pave the way to decentralize economic development ensuring balanced regional development of the country.
This would lead for a prosperous future for Sri Lanka accelerating sustainable development process.
1.1 Relief features of the project area Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale - Trincomalee road sections of the proposed project fall into the coastal peniplane in Sri Lanka. Elevation of this region varies from mean sea level to 300m.
A large portion of the land areas where the road runs over almost flat terrain while small segments of this road run over rolling earth surface. Therefore, the slope angle of the long section varies from 3% - 10% degrees.

1.2 Socio -Economic Background of Sri Lanka
1.2.1 Profile of Sri Lanka
The socio – economic background of Sri Lanka as of any other country has been determined by several factors. Geography, history and contemporary political situation of the country are the key aspects of such a background.
The Democratic Social Republic of Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean with a population of about 20.4 Mn in 2009. Sinhalese make up the majority (74%) of the population. Tamils, Muslims and other ethnic groups represent the rest of the population. In terms of religion, majority is Buddhists (78%) and Hindu, Islam, Catholic and others make up 22% of the population.
The end of 25 years long terror conflict has brought about new expectations and confidence to Sri Lanka. The impact of this can be seen in many fronts. The economy posted a significant growth of 7% in the first quarter of 2010, supported by resilient domestic demand and the gradual recovery of the global economic conditions. This growth was established in all the sub- sectors with agriculture (9%), industry (6.9%) and services (6.7%). It is expected that economy will grow at a faster pace of about 7 to 8 % in this year due to favorable macro-economic changes.
Sri Lanka is a middle income country with GDP of about USD 41.9 bi in 2009. This translates into a per capita income of USD 2050. The Government‟s mission is to increase the per capita income from USD 2000 to USD 4000 by 2014.
The literacy rate of the population is 91.3%, and this rate for males is 92.8% and for females is 90.0%. Unemployment rate was 5.7% of the labor force in 2009. Poverty is still recognized as an issue of concern (15.2% people were in poverty category in 2006/07).
Human Development Index (HDI) of Sri Lanka has increased significantly reflecting the overall social development in the country. HDI was 0.759 in 2007, ranking 102 among 182 countries in the world.
1.2.2 Indigenous People: Vaddha Folk
There are indigenous people in Sri Lanka. Local name of them is “Vaddha”. The road sections of the proposed project do not cross over the areas where they dwell. Therefore, indigenous people of Sri Lanka are not affected with any way in regard to their livelihood and routine life by this project.
15 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010

1.2.3 Significance of Social Development and Infrastructure facilities
Sri Lanka has planned to develop vital social sector in compliance with Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations. Accordingly, Social Development and Infrastructure facilities have reached a satisfactory level when compared to other countries in South Asia. Few indicators such as education, health facilities are equal to developed nations. This background is proved well by the Human Development Index (HDI), indicators of education, health, communication system, and supply of electricity, safe water and other vital factors that determine the quality of life of the masses.
1.2.4. Road Net-work
Transportation facilities are a sine qua non to the socio – economic development of any country (Rasanayagam, 1997). The road density, width and the quality of roads would determine the socio – economic background of a society and the rate of over all development. Road density in comparatively developed region in Sri Lanka is higher than the rest (Map 1.2). The road system in Sri Lanka demonstrates this situation as in many other countries.
The history of road development in Sri Lanka dates back to colonial period. Production of coffee, rubber and tea were required to be transported to Colombo for shipment. Therefore, the roads in wet zone of Sri Lanka were older than those in the dry zone. However, when Sri Lanka got independence in 1948, there was a main road system connecting important commercial, administrative and economical hubs of Sri Lanka. But, the road density and quality facilitating social development were poor in terms of road - population ratio, road length, vehicles and passengers. The importance of railway system has been fading away compared to high ways since independence.
The total length of all roads including A, B, C, D and E classes and rural, local and plantation was 94,651km by 1991. This number rose up to 100,000km by 1996. Since the main urban centers of the country are connected by A and B class roads, they have become the critical factor in terms of economic and social development of the country.
It seems that the total length of classes A and B roads have been increasing from 1986 significantly (Table 1.1 and Figure 1.1). The total length of A and B class roads was 8,444kms in 1963 and 8836kms in 1981. But, this figure increased by 26% from 1963 to 1996.

The government has initiated several projects to develop national road system in Sri Lanka. Colombo – Katunayaka, Colombo – Matara, and Colombo – Kandy express ways and other road rehabilitation and improvement and maintenance projects would boost the road system significantly in the near future.
1.3 Scope of the Resettlement Plan: 1. The Bank‟s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement requires the preparation of a Resettlement Plan if more than 200 persons are impacted negatively by any intervention funded by the World Bank. Land acquisition is the trigger for this Operational Policy. The Resettlement Plan needs to be a time-bound action plan with appropriate budget provisions and should be incorporated as an integral part of the project design. Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are people of any age, skill level, or socio-economic circumstances who may be losing land or assets/infrastructure/livelihood etc. Thus OP 4.12 requires a Plan be prepared which sets out all the compensation and rehabilitation support to be provided to any person, family or household who on account of the execution of the project would have his/her or their standard of living adversely affected. It focuses on those who may lose residential house, land including agricultural and grazing land, commercial properties, tenancy, right in annual or perennial crops and trees or any other fixed or moveable assets, income earning opportunities, business, occupation etc. These losses are identified during the process of developing the resettlement plan.
2. Keeping in view the above, the objectives of this Resettlement Plan include the following for the proposed project:
. Identification of affected persons, in order to determine the persons likely to be adversely affected by the project works and the severity and extent of the respective impacts. This also includes an assessment of impact on their assets, infrastructure, livelihood etc. located in the Right of Way (RoW) or in the Corridor of Impact (CoI) of the selected project roads (along with an income and asset survey).
18 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------. Identify poor and vulnerable groups with strategies to ensure that such groups benefit from the project . Ensure adequate stakeholder consultation and participation . Discuss Gender issues, conflicts and Social risk of the project area . Review of the legal and other management framework. . Develop mitigation measures in consultation with affected/stakeholders . Prepare detailed entitlement matrix and implementation plan . M&E and reporting system for the RP . A resettlement budget.
Overall objective of preparation of this RP is to identify and to develop mitigation plan to ensure that all communities are benefited without any discrimination through identifying all kinds of adverse impacts of the project area, its influence on the community during and after the construction of roads.
1.4 Rationale of the project
Socio-economic and cultural growth mainly depends on its speedy, safe, economical, comfortable and efficient transport system and in particular road transport system. About 75 percent of its population is scattered over its rural area.
Absence of a well developed road network has caused lack of basic facilities such as education, medical assistance, banking, recreational, employment potentiality, inter –regional transport of agricultural inputs and consumer goods, outward transportation of agricultural and forestry produce, live stocks and their products in and/or around most of the villages.
The Government of Sri Lanka has embarked on several new rural developments and poverty alleviation programs in the rural areas of the country in the recent years and it was felt necessary that the fruits of development reach even to the remotest areas of the country.
The Road Development Authority of the “Ministry of Highways and Road Development” in Sri Lanka has developed a Road Sector Master Plan with the overall objective of developing a comprehensive strategic plan for the physical development of the road network at national, provincial and local levels. Public consultations have been carried out during the project selection and feasibility studies. The views of the community were taken into consideration for the ear- marking of priority roads.
Considering the views of the consulted communities during the feasibility studies and the Social Assessment survey, following specific development activities were recommended;
- Improve the existing road with standard two lane facility - Improve the existing pavement with AC treatment
19 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------Improve the horizontal alignment at selected locations to reduce acute curves in order to provide safe driving conditions - Widen , repair or reconstruct damaged culverts and bridges and construct new culverts at locations where road will be constructed on new embankments - Remove any irregularities that are on the existing vertical profile - Provide pedestrian footpaths, bus bays and rest bays where necessary
1.5 Benefits to the economy from roads
The proposed project is mainly to rehabilitate and upgrade the existing road sections from, Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale – Trincomalee (A006) which run through Central, Sabaragamuwa, North Western and Eastern provinces. This highway helps a significant segment of traffic flow which includes passenger buses, heavy vehicles and private vehicles. Also the tourists and devotees who visit Trincomalee, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla and Sigiriya areas contribute to the present traffic of this section of the highway. Traffic flow is significant during weekends and on Poya (Full moon) days on these roads.
After ending the 30 year long civil war, the Government of Sri Lanka has launched massive development programmes in these provinces. The overall objective of the government development programs is to uplift the socio – economic status through providing electricity, improving health services, education, housing, transport, industries, agriculture and other infrastructure facilities. The development of roads in this area has been identified as the initial step of upgrading socio- economic levels. Therefore, the proposed project has become a prime development task to be completed before other projects.
Implementation of mega development projects will need a better road infrastructure in terms of providing proper transportation during its implementation stage and operational stage. A006 highway has already being identified as a potential highway that will support this development programme.
A006 road is extensively used by heavy trucks which operate to transport fish, agro- produce and other commodities from Trincomalee harbor to other parts of the country and in return many items to Trincomalee area. It is anticipated that the number of such trucks will further increase once Norochchole coal power plant becomes operational. However, due to poor maintenance the road surface has deteriorated to a level that many vehicles avoid using this route to reach Trincomalee.
If this road is rehabilitated and developed, it could be used by vehicles carrying cement from the main cement production company named “Mitsui Cement Company” in Trincomalee.

1.6 Analysis of alternatives
A. Without the Project
The pavement and many structures from Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale - Trincomalee (A006) road sections are very unsatisfactory due to lack of maintenance. Narrowness at certain sections and black spots have created a high operational and maintenance cost of vehicles. If rehabilitation and upgrading works are not conducted the road pavement will be further damaged to a level when vehicles may not be able to operate along the road. Further it will adversely affect many development projects and the overall development process of the project influenced area.
B. With the proposed project
Through the proposed development project, the intension is to develop the road sections under consideration with two lanes carriageway, space for emergency parking at town sections, improved cross and side drainage , walkways, alignment changes to sharp bends to cater to the designed speed and other road furniture at required locations.
The road surface will be improved with asphalt concrete which is suitable for heavy loading. Finally operational and maintenance cost of vehicles would be reduced and, therefore, the transport efficiency will be increased. The ultimate effect of this would enhance and sustain the development of the project influenced area.
1.7 Justification of the Project
When considering factors mentioned above, the proposed road rehabilitation project of Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kanthale - Trincomalee ( A006) road section may enhance the economic development process of the project area as well as surrounding areas (Map 1.1 and Table 1.2 and 1.3).
Consequently the development of this area would help to increase GDP of Sri Lanka ensuring continuous increase of per capita income.

21 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------1.8.1 Project Background
The Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) has requested financing from the World Bank to assist them to rehabilitate, improve and maintain the national roads network with an objective to achieve improved and sustainable road transport by enhancing the durability, efficiency and economic impact of the national road network. The proposed project will only focus on rehabilitation improvement and maintenance of national roads selected (Table 1.2) through a strategic study, in order to facilitate economic activity in the areas served and provide users with better road safety conditions.
The World Bank is financing the entire project cycle from feasibility study to the construction phase. Projects and Programs financed with IDA resources need to comply with World Bank Operational Policies. Therefore, sub-contracts and components eligible for funding under this project will be required to satisfy the World Bank‟s safeguard policies, in addition to conformity with social policies of the GOSL. The activities to be financed by the project do not have the potential to trigger significant negative social impacts. It is anticipated that social issues and impacts would be minimal in terms of road rehabilitation and maintenance projects.

The details of the project area can be taken from the 1:50000 scale map produced by the Survey Department of Sri Lanka (Map 1.3). Rest of four provinces in Sri Lanka also would benefit indirectly from this project (Annex 03).
Ten districts out of 25, 129 Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSDs) out of 13983 DSDs and 17231 villagers out of 37300 villages also receive direct benefits (Table 1.3) from the proposed Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale – Trincomalee road rehabilitation project ( Table 2 of Annex 03). Out of 6.3 Mn total population of the four provinces in the project area, influencing population is 3.7 Mn. All the most important market centers of the project influenced districts are situated along this road section. Names and the relative location of such centers are given in Map 1.4.

Other than these
26 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------positive results, roads proposed to be rehabilitated provide service to stimulate the entire spectrum of the human activities particularly within the project area as well as adjoining provinces.
New government that came into power in April 2010 has pledged to boost the economy of the country. The proposed road rehabilitation project would help immensely to the success of the plans of the new government.
After improving the proposed Ambepussa – Dambulla (00km to 90Kms of A06) and Kantale to Trincomalee ( 157km – 200Km – A06) road sections, they would join agricultural and other local production yards with markets, main administrative centers with local, urban centers with rural areas, urban, administrative and commercial hubs with other such centers of the other end of the country. Therefore, rehabilitating the existing Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kantale to Trincomalee road section will help to communicate with one another effectively accelerating the development process of entire Sri Lanka.
1.9 Methodology
Research methodology used in this study can broadly be divided into three parts as;
1. Data Collection 2. Data Analysis 3. Presentation of results
1.9.1 Data Collection
According to the Terms of Reference (TOR) of this project, required data were pre-determined. Data already available by means of books, reports and unpublished document and news papers were used as secondary data sources in this study. Field survey method was the main technique applied to collect data of people and properties likely to be affected.
Three ways were applied to collect field data; viz,
1. Set Questioner 2. Interviews/ Case Studies and 3. Observation
All three methods of field data collection were used at the same day traveling along the proposed road sections. Three research assistants with field supervisors plus six helpers were employed to collect field data. Each field assistant was allocated to collect data on one field using questionnaires, interviews or observations (please see Annexure 01 and 02 for questionnaire). The collected data were tabulated according to the requirement of result.

1.9.2 Type of data collected for the survey
Both primary and secondary data collected on the basis of given TOR for the assignment are classified as follows;
a. Baseline Data
Baseline data related to the project area and information about existing condition therein were collected. Priority was given to Population characteristic, Community resources, Livelihood of the community, Individual and family changes, Political and social resources, Community and institutional structures etc.
b. Socio – economic data
The census for PAPs covering socio – economic background was conducted in the proposed road development area. The properties located within the ROW and immediate vicinity of the road that may be affected was enumerated. The study team considered 500m meter strips to both sides to collect socio economic data for the SIA of the project influenced area. The relevant road designs and drawings for the particular road were used to identify persons and properties likely to be affected. The survey includes the following:
- Commercial establishments
- Houses
- Lands
- Minor road access
- Parapet walls, gates, fences
- Cultural centers
- Public utilities such as telephone, electricity, water lines etc.
- Temporary sales outlets, business places
- Three wheelers parking stands
- Trees to be affected
Those are the major areas of impacts to be considered for this study. Direct- affected households were surveyed through a questionnaire survey. Men, women, youth, vulnerable groups were questioned for this survey. Interviews were held to gather socio economic data to determine socio economic background of those concerned.

1.9.3. Stakeholders Consultations
Field investigation launched under Social survey focused on different stakeholders (primary and secondary) making use of a specific methodology. Stakeholder consultation is very important since different types of stakeholders can contribute their valuable ideas, suggestions and capacity, thereby extending their support to the success of the project tasks.
Focus groups discussion were undertaken with the community such as female- headed households, truck drivers, bus drivers, residents in poor clusters, laborers, road side vendors, petty businessmen, men, women, youths, students, farmers, etc.
Before conducting a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), the study team developed checklists unique to them. The consultant paid more attention to identify negative and positive impacts of the project.
All affected householders were specially interviewed and collected information on affected structures, assets, utilities, and land use etc. The socio-economic background of the PAPs was recorded through questionnaire surveys. In addition to that all relevant Government agencies / officials such as Divisional secretaries, heads of pradeshiya sabha, Grama Niladharies, RDA officers, land officers, MOH/midwife, principals of schools, estate developers, religious leaders, leaders of CBOs/NGOs, and, police officers and other concerned parties were interviewed and information was recorded ( Please refer annex 09 and chapter 04 for details).
1.9.4. Data Analysis Both qualitative and quantitative data analyzing methods were used in this study. However, basic statistical techniques along with qualitative data analysis methods were employed to obtain required results.
Following stages were followed to collect secondary data; 1. Review of secondary data
Available primary and secondary data sources (see the list of references for details of these sources) relevant to this project were used to analyze socio economic condition of the project area. Those primary sources were prepared during the project feasibility studies and designing stages. The secondary data sources referred in this study as follows;

POLICIES RELATED TO LEGAL ASPECTS AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS
A series of measures will be implemented with a view to minimizing the negative impact of land acquisition process at national level. These litigator measures include national laws and policies of Sri Lanka along with the policies of World Bank. The relevant policies and laws in this regard are briefly presented in this chapter.
2.1 Law & Policy on Land Acquisition
2.1.1. Land Acquisition Act
The law is “The Land Acquisition Act (LAA)”, enacted in 1950 governing acquisition of land for public purposes. This law has been the subject of several amendments and revisions, the latest being in 1979. The LAA sets out the procedures for acquiring land and payment of compensation to the owners.
A notice is issued specifying that land is potentially required for a public purpose, and accordingly authorized personnel undertake investigations (surveys, boreholes, and setting out of boundaries etc) to determine suitability. If the land is found suitable for the public purpose a written declaration to that effect is made. Subsequently, notices are issued describing the land, the intention to acquire the land, and requiring that persons with an interest in the land to notify (in writing) the acquiring officer of their claim (including the compensation amount expected).
Once the claim is received the acquiring officer holds an inquiry in order to ascertain the market value of the land, the claims for compensation, and the respective interests of the claimants. At the conclusion of the inquiry the acquiring officer at his discretion either makes a decision on the claims or refers the claims to the District Court or Primary Court.
As per the decision made by the acquiring officer fixes an award determining the persons who are entitled to compensation, the total amount of compensation to be allowed for the acquisition, and the apportionment of the compensation among the other persons with interest in the land. If there is a dispute over the determination the claimants may appeal to either the compensation Review Board or Court of Appeal (on questions of law following a decision by the Compensation Review Board). However this appeal is required to be filed within 21 days of receipt of notification of the award.
32 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------Provisions of the LAA allow payment of compensation in installments followed by an initial payment. If the claimant of the land agrees to a land exchange in lieu of cash, the transfer is put into effect. After the awards are made the Minister publishes or gazettes a “vesting order” for the acquirement of the land, after which time occupants of any buildings located on the land to be vested are given notice to vacate.
One of the shortcomings of the LAA is that the onus to prove ownership or interest in, demonstrate clear title, to gather all information and submit a compensation claim in respect of the land to be acquired, is on the Affected Persons (APs). Often APs are not aware of their rights or timeframes to be observed under the LAA, or they are aware but are ill-equipped to deal with the procedures required and are also not experienced in dealing with various officials and documentation. In order to remedy this situation, the project will be required to assist APs in making their claims under the LAA as part of the consultation and participation process.
APs often face serious delays in the land acquisition process due to time consuming inquiries and the fact that they are conducted by Divisional Secretaries who often do not have experience to interpret legal documents.
Ownership issues - The following measures are currently adopted in other road project to minimize these issues:
The Divisional Secretary is assisted by the RDA with inquiries through engagement of a lawyer to look into deeds and issue a title clearance certificate, where required. This enables the acquisition officer to make quick decisions. The lawyer can also advise APs on a case basis;
A daily allowance to be paid to APs who give up a day (or more) of work to attend inquiries required for the land acquisition process;
Recommendation that the surveys required under Sections 2 (including perimeter survey) and 6 (preliminary plan) of the LAA be undertaken simultaneously.
There are also problematic issues related to the payment of compensation.
As noted earlier the LAA provides for an initial payment (Rs25,000) and then the balance amount is to be paid “…in not more than ten equal installments, so that the entire balance compensation is paid before the lapse of ten years from the date of payment of the said sum of Rs 25,000” [Section 29 (ii)]. To enable APs to restore their livelihoods within a short period after the land acquisition, payment of compensation and allowances must be effected in a lump sum to ensure immediate livelihood restoration.
33 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------This will also avoid delays in the award of contract for civil works. ADB insists that the implementation of the resettlement plan be approved before it will sign a letter of no objection to commencement of civil works. A clause included in the other projects in this regard is as follows: “…RDA will not take possession of any private property prior to full payment of compensation entitlements, and where applicable, of relocation arrangements and initiation of income restoration measures.”
No doubt that the compensation process as set out in the LAA remains flawed, APs can receive up to four different payments at different times (the statutory compensation (Section 17 of the LAA), the “top-up” compensation referred to as the LARC payment, the ex-gratia payment, and then interest on any compensation amount not paid) and the statutory payment can be paid in installments therefore, further delaying the payment of full compensation. This delays the land acquisition process and prevents APs from being able to immediately restore their livelihoods.
2.1.2 Road Development Authority Act.
The Road Development Authority Act enacted in 1981 provides for the establishment of the RDA and specifies the powers, functions, duties and responsibilities of the RDA. Declaring areas for „road development‟, which under the meaning of the Act includes the construction of new roads or the maintenance or improvement of existing roads is dealt with in Part II. Improvements include any widening, leveling, provision of footpaths, treatment for mitigation of dust or any other works beyond ordinary repairs.
Carrying out integrated road planning and development, submitting such plans for Government approval, and following approval, implementing the road development plans, works and activities can be considered as the functions and duties of RDA.
Under Section 8 of the Act, the Minister, after taking into consideration the requirements of local and national planning and what is urgently required for the regulation and control of road development, may declare a „road development area‟ following an order or notice (which sets out the requirement and physical boundaries) published in the gazette.
Land acquisition for road development as a “public purpose” is dealt with in section 22. This provides for the acquisition by, and transfers to, the RDA of immovable or moveable property within any declared road development area, for which the RDA will pay any sum payable under the LAA [Section 22 (2)]. Therefore, after the Section 8 notice has been gazetted, if land or other property is to be acquired, the procedures are as set out in the LAA.
34 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------2.1.3 National Policy on Involuntary Resettlement
Road projects require clearance and use of land, land acquisition and resettlement of people and re-building of their dwellings, crops and structures. Resettlement can have a number of adverse social and cultural impacts including:
Poverty of affected people due to landlessness and/or homelessness; Economic marginalization; Loss of Jobs; Higher incidence of mortality and morbidity; Food insecurity; Lack of access to common property and public services; and Disruption of the existing social organization and community networks.
The LAA only provides for compensation for land, structures and crops. The project executing agencies are not called upon to address key resettlement issues such as exploring alternative project options that avoid or minimize impacts on people, compensating those who do not have title to, but are currently using and dependent on land, or implementation of income restoration measures aimed at the social and economic rehabilitation of APs.
The National Environment Act of 1980 also contains some provisions relevant to involuntary re-settlement of the affected people. The Minister has by gazette notification (No. 859/14 of 23.2.1995) determined the types of projects and undertakings for which Central Environmental Authority approval is required under the terms of Part IV (c) of the National Environment Act. The schedule includes item 12, which refers to “…involuntary resettlement exceeding 100 families, other than resettlement resulting from emergency situations”. However, there are no provisions included in the Act which adequately address the key resettlement issues identified above.
To ensure a fair and equitable treatment to the APs and to particularly ensure that people are not impoverished or suffer unduly as a result of implementation of public or private project it was considered necessary for Sri Lanka to adopt a national policy to protect the rights and interests of all people affected by development projects. Thus, in 2001 the Government adopted the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) that was prepared with assistance from ADB.
The key objectives of the NIRP are:
Avoid or mitigate negative impacts of involuntary resettlement by facilitating the resettlement of the affected people on a productive and self sustaining basis;
35 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------ Ensure prompt compensation and proper resettlement; The livelihoods of all persons should be re-established and their standard of living improved; No people could be adversely affected as a consequence of compulsory land acquisition for development purposes by the state; Assist APs in dealing with the psychological, cultural, social and other stresses that could be caused by acquisitions of their lands by the state; Create awareness among all APs of the processes available for the redress of grievances that are easily arisen and immediately responsive; and Set in motion a consultative, transparent and accountable involuntary resettlement process with a time frame agreed to by the project executing agency and APs.
According to NIRP a comprehensive resettlement action plan needs to be prepared where twenty or more families are affected by an acquisition. In cases where less than twenty families are affected the NIRP still requires a plan but states that this can be prepared to a lesser level of detail. The NIRP applies to all projects irrespective of the source of funding.
The overall institutional responsibility for implementing the NIRP falls on Ministry of Lands (MOL), and it has established a Resettlement Division to coordinate implementation. A number of technical guidelines are in place to assist the MOL and project executing agencies in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating all involuntary resettlement consequences.
Copies of the four sets of guidelines are available from MOL. Sinhalese and Tamil translations of the documents are currently being prepared. Over 130 personnel from the government, NGOs, universities, district and divisional administrations, and local authorities have been trained in involuntary resettlement with the support from ADB.
2.1.4 Other Laws and Regulations
The Sri Lankan government has enacted several laws to ensure fair and equitable decisions are taken on various issues related to the people of the country. The key laws in this regard are mentioned below:
Act for labor conflict resolution- Act number 43 of 1950 Industrial Regulation Act of Sri Lanka The Employee Compensation Act Act of Labor Unions The Act of employment of women, teenagers and children Special Act of discontinuation of employees.
36 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------ Maternity assistance act (provisions for maternity leave, Maternity assistance, payments of salaries of mothers after delivering etc, are covered under this act- This is exclusively aimed on women) Act of Employees Provident Fund Act for Payment of Bonuses to the employees Act for Employment of women in mining industry (exclusively aimed on women) Provincial Council Act Act for Labor Conflict Resolution- Act number 43 of 1950 National Child Protection act National Thoroughfares Act Rent Act no 7 of 1972 and the Ceiling on House and Property Law No.1 of 1973
2.2. Social Safeguards Relating to Project
The World Bank Operational Manual contains the environmental and resettlement related regulations and guidelines. For the purpose of this report references have been made to Project Related Operational Policies. The applicable safeguard policies of the Bank are described in the section below based on the field investigations, consultations and surveys undertaken.
Operational Policy 4.01 - The Environmental Assessment
In addition to national laws and regulations, the IEE study should comply with World Bank Operational Policy (World Bank OP 4.01) which is the policy of the International Donor Agency (IDA) of this project. World Bank OP 4.01 requires Environmental Assessment (EA) of projects proposed for World Bank financing to help to ensure that these projects are environmentally sound and sustainable. Considering the work involved and resultant environmental repercussions in road resurfacing and upgrading and/or provision of drainage in non-sensitive environments, this project can be treated as Category B.
World Bank OP 4.01 specifies that for a project in Category B proposed for financing under an IDA credit, the developer must consult project affected groups and local non governmental organizations (NGOs) about the project‟s environment aspects and take their views into account in the design and implementation. In addition the RDA and contractor are expected to consult the stakeholders throughout project implementation, as necessary, to address EMP related issues that affect them. The OP 4.01 also highlights the importance of analyzing alternative designs, technologies and operational strategies systematically in terms of their potential environmental impacts in order to select the most environmentally friendly and economically viable option.
37 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------1.The design of road specifications and works and subsequent operations of the project must be in compliance with environmental safeguard as specified in the EA and EMP. The EAs and EMPs will be available for public review and comment in appropriate locations in Sri Lanka and in International Donor Agencies (IDA‟s), and the public Information Center, in accordance with BP 17.50 requirements of disclosure. Detailed EAs for individual projects will need to be carried out by the implementing agencies and will be monitored and cleared by the designated PAA, as applicable under prevailing national environmental legislation in Sri Lanka and by IDA prior to the approval of disbursement.
Operational Policy-4.04 –Natural Habitat
This Policy (OP 4.04) deals with the conservation of natural habitats. Similar to OP 4.01 the requirements of the OP 4.04 have been addressed in the EA and EMP prepared for the project.
Operational Policy-4.10-Indigenous People
Definition of Indigenous People: The proposed project will use the World Bank‟s guidelines to identify Indigenous People (IPs) in particular geographic areas by examining the following characteristics: . Close attachment to ancestral territories and natural resources therein; . Self-identification by the IPs themselves and identification by others as members of distinct cultural groups; . Use of an indigenous language different from the predominant language (even if they use other languages in dealing with the non- indigenous people); . Presence of customary social and political institutions; and . Ppresence of a primarily subsistence production system.
In fostering full respect for their dignity, human rights and cultural uniqueness, a Bank-financed project has to ensure that indigenous people do not suffer adverse impacts in the development process, and that they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits. The Bank policy (OP 4.10 on Indigenous People) requires that the sub-projects be carefully screened to identify whether there are indigenous people living in the project areas, and that informed participation of the IPs themselves must be undertaken to identify local concerns and preferences through direct consultations with the IPs and incorporation of indigenous knowledge into project planning approaches. This policy contributes to the Bank‟s mission of poverty reduction and sustainable development by ensuring that the development process fully respects the dignity, human rights, economies, and cultures of Indigenous People. For all projects that are proposed for Bank financing and affect
38 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------Indigenous people, the Bank requires the borrower to engage in a process of free, prior, and informed consultation. The Bank provides project financing only where free, prior, and informed consultation results in broad community support to the project by the affected Indigenous People. Such Bank-financed projects include measures to (a) avoid potentially adverse effects on the Indigenous communities; or (b) when avoidance is not feasible, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for such effects. Bank-financed projects are also designed to ensure that the Indigenous Peoples receive social and economic benefits that are culturally appropriate and gender and inter-generation included. As proposed in the project, the roads require only rehabilitation, paving and some widening (but within the RoW) and the consultations held under the Social Impact Assessment did not identify any indigenous people as defined by OP 4.10 in the project area. Hence this Policy is not triggered. However, during implementation, should any such group get identified the Project will prepare an Indigenous Peoples’ Development Plan (IPDP) in conformity with OP 4.10, get it cleared by the IDA and implement it.
Operational Policy 4.11 - Management of Cultural Property
The physical cultural resources, defined as movable or immovable objects, sites, structures, groups of structures, and natural features and landscapes that have archaeological, pale-ontological, historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or other cultural significance are dealt with under this policy. Physical cultural resources may be located in urban or rural areas, and may be above or below ground, or under water. Their cultural importance may be at the local, provincial or national level, or within the international community. The project will not create negative impacts on any cultural property similar to OP 4.11.
When development projects are funded by the Bank, assistance is provided to the countries to mitigate negative impacts on their physical and cultural resources. The impacts on physical cultural resources resulting from project activities, including mitigating measures, may not contravene either the borrowers‟ national legislation, or their obligations under relevant international environmental treaties and agreements. The following project financing policies are followed by the Bank:
The Bank finances only those projects that are cited and designed so as to prevent significant damages to non-replicable cultural property. This policy pertains to any project where the Bank is involved, irrespective of whether the Bank itself is financing the part of the project that may affect cultural property. Deviation from this policy may be justified only where expected project benefits are great, and the loss of or damage to cultural property is judged by competent authorities to be unavoidable, minor, or otherwise
acceptable. The Bank also requires a discussion with specific details for their justification through acceptable documentary evidence.
39 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------The Social survey did not identify any cultural property in the project site, however, should any such site get identified in future, the Project will do the following:
Whenever chance finds are made during the construction of the road, the responsible persons of the site staff will immediately inform the project execution agency which will, in turn, in form the government department concerned with cultural property to take suitable protective measures.
Operational Policy 4.12- Involuntary Resettlement
The issues and concerns related to land acquisition (It has been found that small portions (2550m2) of lands are to be required to purchase or acquired for this road construction at some places). If any acquisition is carried out it will follow normal acquisition procedure without following the section 38A Proviso, which is the emergency procedure of the LAA. The total extent is to be acquired, their compensation for all categories of affecters and affected assets, relocation, resettlement, loss of livelihood, access and related issues are dealt with under this policy.
If involuntary resettlement is not properly addressed it results in severe economic, social and environmental problems. The people will face impoverishment when their productive sources are lost. If people are relocated to such environment where productive skills are not properly utilized, the competition for resources will be increased; the community institutions and local networks will be weakened.
In case of unavoidable resettlement, these activities should be planned and executed as a sustainable development program. Displaced persons should be properly consulted and adequate opportunities should be afforded to them to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programms.
The Bank policy covers direct economic and social impacts that result from Bank assisted investment projects by the involuntary resettlement. The following are the main objectives of policies of the Bank:
o Involuntary resettlement should be avoided up to the possible limit or minimized by exploring other viable alternatives; o Where it is not feasible to avoid, resettlement, such activities should be planned and executed as sustainable development program, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits; o Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least be restored to the extent of pre-displacement levels.
40 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------Displaced persons may be classified into: i). Those with formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the law of the country). ii). Those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets provided that such claims are recognized under the law or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan. iii) Those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. This policy has been triggered and there will be land acquisition along the other negative impacts. Resettlement Plan is being prepared as social mitigation measures for those effects. The prescribed responses to adverse impacts are presented in the form of an Entitlement Matrix which is a part of the Resettlement Plan.
Operational Policy 17.50 - Disclosure of Operational Information
“The Bank reaffirms its recognition and endorsement to the fundamental importance of transparency and accountability of the development process. Accordingly, it is the Bank‟s policy to be open about its activities and to welcome and seek out opportunities to explain its work to the widest possible audience”.1 Therefore, all Bank funded documents are to be widely disseminated and accessible to all affectees and stakeholders. This Policy is triggered: Thus in accordance with the Disclosure Policy of the World Bank, the Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) and Resettlement Plan (RP) will be displayed at the info shop and the Project sites, viz., Project Offices and Public Libraries. The Executive Summary translated into local languages (both Tamil and Sinhala) will also be disclosed at the Project site where it will be accessible to project affected people. The Initial environmental and social Assessments will be disclosed to all types of stakeholders, especially to the project relevant public. The information in this report too will be disclosed to them in the project sites and in other appropriate locations such as Grama Niladharies’ offices in the local area. The executive summary of the RP will be translated into the local languages and disseminated to all affectees and communities. The regional offices of the RDA will be used to disseminate the RP. In addition the web site of RDA will be used for wider dissemination of the RP. Regular formal and informal meetings will be held with APs, Divisional Secretaries, Grama Niladari and other regular agencies to disclose information.

SOCIAL IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT
3.1.0. Introduction
Any development project would generate many positive impacts as well as negative impacts particularly for the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) both in the short-term and the long-term. Therefore, it has become an important requirement to examine about the potential issues of the proposed Ambepussa- Dambulla and Kanthale – Trincomalee road rehabilitation project.
The severity and magnitude of these issues would be controlled mainly by the geographical background, contemporary demographic factors and socio- economic background of the Project Affected Persons.
The project affected persons (PAPs) for 19m corridor of the project are 1099. They belong to 407 families and were interviewed in the household survey during the field studies.
As per designs;
Number of affected households: 174 Number of persons of affected households: 578
The details of affected structures and affected persons are given in the table 3.1. Names of the project affected persons/ properties, assets, magnitude of the impacts and livelihood in this road sections are given in Annex 06A, 06B and 07.
Profile of the project affected persons (such as gender composition, age distribution, ethnicity, education levels, income categories and occupations) is provided in Annex 04.
3.2.0. Potential social issues of the Project area
When analyzing the collected data of the PAPs of the proposed project, complex social issues can be envisaged. However, these, potential social issues of the proposed project can broadly be categorized into two as positive and negative impacts.
During the field investigation conducted for the Social survey, the consultant and the field investigators have conducted small group discussions and individual consultations with different stakeholders of the project. These
42 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------discussions and observations have revealed that there are more positive impacts than negative impacts.
As identified during the field investigation, all beneficiaries are looking forward to several positive impacts after implementation of this project.
3.2.1. Positive Impacts
Positive social impacts of the proposed road rehabilitation project can be grouped into five as follows;
Group 01 – Saving time and money
Reduction of transport cost, Regulation of public transport, Time saving and Reduction of vehicle repair cost.
Group 02 – Increasing Prices of sales items
Increase of land value, good prices for farmers‟ production
Group 3 – Increasing economic growth rate
Improvement of local business, increasing competition in the commercial sector poverty reduction and livelihood development, rural development, reduction of the gap between rural and urban level and better employment.
Group 4 – Increasing Efficiency
Able to attend specific duties and functions on time , enhancement of children‟s education, enhancement of links between urban centre and rural area, better access for other common utilities ,better utilization of existing resources , less traffic congestion, improved communication with other regions.
Group 5- Reduction of Social Risks
Reduction of road accidents happened due to bad road conditions.
3.2.2. Negative Impacts of Road Projects
Negative social impacts of the proposed road rehabilitation project can also be discussed as follows;
* More road accidents and increase of traffic congestion during the construction period.
43 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------* Increasing migrations to the area (Migration of outsiders).
* Disturbances to some groups such as school children, infants and old and sick persons living in close proximity to construction sites.
* Effect on business centers, lands, extended parts of buildings and access to business places, parts of housing structures and extended sections, disturbances to house access, demolition of parapet walls, gates and fences ,utility services and trees.

Chapter 4
Stakeholders Consultation
Stakeholders are defined as individuals or agencies that are either affected by and /or can affect the project. The RSAP II., has direct and indirect stakeholders at national, district, divisional, project and village levels representing different geographical areas as well as different management systems.
In this chapter, an attempt is being made to analyze and assess the stakeholders‟ views and perceptions gathered through field consultations, focus group discussions and meeting with key informants.
4.0. Direct and indirect stakeholders at different hierarchical levels
The most significant stakeholder is the Project Affected Person who is negatively/positively affected by the Project. The most significant and direct beneficiary groups at the local level include all kinds of road users. The groups that frequently benefit from the roads are school children, school teachers, drivers, farmers, traders and all other types of road users. The regional economies as well as household economies will get positively influenced due to improved road net work. The most significant direct affectees are the persons losing land/assets/livelihood etc.
At the national level the major direct stakeholder is the Ministry of Highways and Road Development Authority. This organization is responsible for improving the road network of the country.
District level officers attached to RDA are middle level direct stakeholders because complaints about the problems of dilapidated road systems are frequently brought up by the communities and other politicians with the RDA officers attached at district level organizations.
National Government Agencies and other organizations such as Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), Sri Lanka Telecom & Water Supply & Drainage board are also stakeholders. This is equally applicable to the public and private transport providers (The government - CTB & private bus owners).
In the process of consultation special attention was paid to consult women, youths, ethnic groups and other vulnerable groups.
The most significant indirect beneficiaries of the project are politicians of different levels. The politicians - local, provincial and national levels – such as
50 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------ministers, members of parliament, and members of provincial councils can obtain their popularity and peoples‟ support with the successful implementation of the road net-work. The civil society/NGOs/academia is also included in the indirect group of stakeholders.
The contractors, material suppliers can benefit from the construction work. The local communities can also benefit because of employment generated in their local areas in the construction sites.

Most of these respondents had knowledge about the project such as width of the new road etc. However, it is found that the views expressed by them on project benefits were based on their personal views.
The field data collectors of the study team consulted various stakeholders under different stakeholder categories in order to obtain their views on the road development project. The comments are presented in the following Table 4.2.
Table 4.2 Views of Stakeholders Stakeholders Statements made by stakeholders ( Negative & Positive) Project Affected Persons Expect reasonable compensation payments for all affected properties such as lands, structures, trees etc. We expect that local economy will improve and new job opportunities will be created. Property values will go up in the area and business and economic activities will be improved. Interruption to routine life may occur due to demolition of structures specially in Galewela town. During construction period there can be disturbances due to traffic congestion, dust, noise and vibration. The authorities need to take precautions to minimize disturbances to our day today activities and livelihoods
Management of road and transport system.
RDA Engineers Land acquisition will be a significant issue. The RDA will face lot of difficulties to settle social issues during construction period especially in Galewela & Kurunegala town areas. The officers of the RDA will be busy with the project implementation activities. After completion of the road the transport system will be improved. The annual road maintenance cost will be reduced and it will be a real benefit for the community. Number of road accidents will increase due to fast driving.
Management of Govt. bus We will have to face lot of difficulties during the construction period due to poor road conditions. service, After completion of the road, the transport system will improve. We will be able to operate our busses on time from Ambepussa-Dambulla and Kanthale-Trincomalee. Maintenance cost and fuel cost will go down.
54 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------Private Bus Owners This project is good, as it will improve condition of the road. Currently we face lot of difficulties to drive our buses due to bad condition of roads. Currently our maintenance cost of buses is very high. Improved roads will help us to reduce fuel and maintenance costs. It is a good opportunity for us. We can save money. We will be able to provide a good service to the people after completion of works. We will run our buses on time to the destinations. There is a tendency for accidents to increase due to fast driving after the road improvements.
Road users and general public.
Employees We welcome the project. Now a days traveling on this road is a real headache. We cannot go to our office on time. But after the improvement of the roads there will be speedy driving leading to more accidents. There must be close supervision of contractor’s work to ensure good quality work. Existing drainage system should be improved.
I face a lot of difficulties to drive my car due to poor road condition. I cannot attend my office on time. Once the road is improved we can avoid such difficulties.
Road development is necessary. Many women in this area use bicycles as the mode of transportation. Their safety should be ensured.
Road development will encourage teachers and students to attend their schools regularly.
I have difficulties in riding my bicycle along the road due to a lack of space and there are possibilities for accidents. Road development will be beneficial for the women who are engaged in self employment as it will enable them to transport their produce to the town from the rural areas.
We thank the government. We have a lot of problems to reach schools School children , on time. The buses and school vans also can not travel on time especially on rainy days. We also cannot walk along the road due to poor drainage system. But after improvement of the road, we will be able to come to school on time. But there may be lot of accidents due to fast driving. There should be speed limits, especially near the schools.
During the construction period we may have to face number of problems due to dust, noise, traffic congestions and demolition of structures along the road.
55 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------Doctors People face inconveniences in taking patients to nearby hospitals and medical centers, due to bad condition of roads. In emergency situations, doctors and health workers cannot reach the hospitals. Ambulances can not take patients immediately to the hospitals. These issues will be solved by this road development project.
But during the construction period the project authorities need to take measures to minimize health hazards caused by dust, waste and debris.
Three wheelers Drivers Currently vehicle maintenance cost is very high due to poor road & Other vehicles Drivers conditions. We cannot take our passengers to the destinations on time. The road construction activities should be completed within the scheduled time. There may be traffic congestions, accidents and delays during the construction periods. The project authorities need to take measures to minimize disturbances to our livelihood. After completion of the road we will be better off. Maintenance cost and fuel cost will be reduced.
Farmers We face lot inconvenience to transport our produce to Dambulla and Trincomalee. Transport cost is high due to the poor condition of the road. The improved road will help us to transport our goods to the market at a lower cost.
Transportation of our farm products will be affected during construction period.
Business community and income generation groups.
Shop owner The road sections near the junctions be inundated during the rainy seasons. The road is busy and used by heavy vehicles. This damages the road.
Traffic congestion prevails in the morning and evening. Also vehicle users find difficulty in using the road. Road widening is required.
The project will increase opportunities for tourism development in Dambulla and Trincomalee which in turn will have a positive impact on
56 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------local businesses. Tourist and devotees use this road to visit ancient religious places in this area.
Fish Sellers It is good if the road is developed. This type of development project will improve the businesses in the area. The project will facilitate the efficient transportation of fish from out side areas to this town.
I have the fear that my business will be affected temporarily during the construction period.
Road construction activities will disturb the business activities specially Pavement vendors in Galewela town. The road construction activities should be done by minimizing disturbances to our business.
There may be some obstructions ( concrete steps, access) at the structures of business centers. But it will not be a significant issue once the temporary accesses are provided. The project needs to complete the road construction as soon as possible. Religious leaders. During construction period there may be a lot of disturbances at the religious places.
Specially by creating dust, noise and vibrations.
Access roads will be blocked due to road construction activities.
To overcome and minimize these disturbances precautions should be taken.
The religious groups must be given proper access to the religious centers for their day to day activities. Local Politicians Provincial council members Construction activities will create lot of disturbances to the people in the project area. It is important to take actions to minimize such Pradeshiya Sabha members difficulties. The proposed road development activity will develop the area. The Government can make the people happy. Politicians can bring lot of investors to the area once the road is improved. Politicians can win the support of the people and can improve their popularity among the people in these areas.
As expressed by some of the respondents the newly developed highways tend to increase the incidents of the road accidents as well. These perceptions are summarized in the following Table 4.3

4.6 Remedial measures / Strategies to mitigate the negative impact
Some negative impacts are unavoidable in any of the development interventions and it is therefore vital to understand the situation and take possible measures to minimize such negative impacts. Some measures could be adapted are presented below based on responses of various stakeholders during the Social Survey 2010.
Necessity to provide properly organized drainage systems for the removal of rain water during deluge. Implement some mechanism to reduce dust and noise due to heavy vehicle movement Necessity of proper implementation of traffic rules and regulations to prevent road accidents. Provisions of temporary spaces for the owners of three-wheelers and other small shop outlets to continue their livelihood without interruptions. Make arrangements to keep smooth flow of traffic without unnecessary delays due to road closures. Try to prevent the environment destruction and pollution minimizing the removal of trees by the road. Attempt to undertake part of the road construction work during night or on holidays in order to prevent/minimize disturbances to road users. Adhering to safety measures to prevent any health hazards or safety hazards due to demolition of structures/buildings.

4.7 Consultation Strategies
Stakeholders‟ participation is very vital throughout the project cycle. The project should maintain all records of all stakeholders consultations through a responsible officer attached to the project.
Pre - construction, Construction and Implementation levels of the project are the most suitable stages of stakeholder participation.

Chapter 5
Mitigation Measures
5.0. Introduction
The objective of this chapter is to discuss the mitigation measures to mitigate negative impacts proposed in the Resettlement Action Plan. The principles and guidelines proposed are primarily aimed at avoiding or minimizing, to a possible extent, the hardships and impoverishment that may result from project‟s intervention and mitigation of any adverse impact thereof at the household/community level. All decisions regarding design of construction work will be made, to the extent feasible, to facilitate the attainment of this objective.
Principles of Resettlement policies, principles to be followed by RDA, mitigation principles, mitigation of negative impacts and method and procedures adopted to mitigate negative impacts are discussed below.
5.1. Project Resettlement Principles and Scope of Mitigation
The basic resettlement principles of the RP are as follows: The affected persons (APs) are defined as those who stand to lose land, houses, structures, trees, crops, businesses, income and other assets as a consequence of improvements to/or improvement of the project‟s roads. Cut-off dates will be established to determine compensation eligibility of persons and their assets. These are the dates on which census of the affected persons and their assets will be taken. Any claim for compensation by the affected people after the cut-off date will be not eligible for compensation. For title deed holders – the cut off date will be the date on which section two (2) notification of the land acquisition process is gazetted. For non title holders (encroachers and others) the cut off date will be last day (02.05.2010) of Census survey for the resettlement action plan. All APs are equally eligible for cash compensation and rehabilitation assistance, irrespective of their land ownership status, to ensure that those affected by the Project shall be at least as well off, if not better off, than they would have been without the Project. Absence of a title will not be a bar to receiving compensation and livelihood assistance, (except for land where a title is required). All losses will be compensated at replacement cost, at market prices without deducting depreciation and salvage value for all losses (such as lands, crops,
61 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------The objective of this chapter is to discuss the mitigation measures proposed in the Resettlement Action Plan. trees, structures, businesses, etc.). Alternatively, structures/assets etc. will be rebuilt by the project at replacement cost. Encroachers in this context are defined as people owning lands and occupying legal or customarily recognized properties on public space in the ROW. Squatters are defined as those that occupy space that is legally or customarily someone else‟s, in this case the ROW. Compensation and resettlement will be satisfactorily completed before a No- Objection Certificate can be provided by the Government of Sri Lanka for award of civil works contracts. APs will be systematically informed and consulted about the project, and the RP will be made available in both English and local languages to the affected persons and communities. The consultative process shall include not only those affected, but also the neighboring communities, representatives of the RDA and other government agencies of the areas where the project is located, community leaders, local government, and community-based organizations (CBOs). Vulnerable groups (households below the recognized poverty line; disabled, elderly persons or female headed households) should be identified and included in the consultation process. The Project will purchase or acquire lands for the project. Payment for purchasing of lands or compensation for acquired lands will be made at replacement value at current market prices. Contractors will also follow the same principles (i.e. payment of compensation for all damages incurred etc.) The project will provide alternate access wherever it is blocked during construction. The proposed RP will apply to all Project Affected Persons who may be affected through impacts on private/community land or other assets due to minor realignments. Where community owned facilities or restricting access to common property resources etc., result from project related interventions, the project will rebuild such facilities and provide alternative access. There will be no land donation. The RDA will purchase the required lands at the market value on their willingness. The sellers (owners) will have the option to refuse it. If so, the RDA will implement Land Acquisition Process in Sri Lanka to acquire the required lands under the normal procedure. The Project executing agency will bear the costs of implementing this Resettlement Plan.
62 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------5.2 Impact Mitigation Modalities The following types of losses which are expected to result from Project intervention will be mitigated. Temporary displacement of temporary fish stalls, vegetable stalls , green gram selling stalls, lottery selling stalls and Three- wheelers parking stands and the locations of other small mobile` vendors. The project will ensure that their livelihood is not affected by providing them alternative places (for 4-5 days) to relocate them during the construction phase. They may return to their original place subsequently. Where there are physical assets of affectees (walls, gates, front walls and roof extensions of business places, permanent sales huts and access of business places etc.) in the project area of construction, the owners will be compensated at replacement value at the current market prices. In place of affected access of public venues, minor road access will be rebuilt immediately and temporary access will be provided during construction period at the relevant locations. Affected privately owned trees will be compensated as mentioned in the entitlement matrix. Lands will be purchased or acquired and payment and compensations will be made at replacement value at the current market prices without any delay. The project will identify and implement policies to mitigate any adverse impacts that may appear during implementation of the project.
5.3 Mitigation of negative impacts.
* Names of the project affected persons/ properties, assets, magnitude of the impacts, livelihood in this road sections including sizes for lands and replacing structures are given package wise in Annex 06A and 06B.
* The final cost calculation (as per designs) for social impact mitigation is provided in Chapter 07 in this report. It is based on the methodology provided and discussed in this chapter on mitigation.
The aspects to be mitigated include following:
Mitigation of impacts on front walls of houses and buildings Mitigation of impacts on cement floors /cement steps of business places Permanent fences (Iron poles with concrete columns) Mitigation of impact on gates Mitigation of impacts on parapet walls Mitigation of impacts on front walls / roof extension of business places Mitigation of impacts on permanent sales huts Mitigation of impacts on lands Mitigation of impacts on trees
63 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------For Structures : (front walls of houses and buildings /cement floors /cement steps, permanent sales huts, gates, walls, fences, front walls/roof extensions of business places)
The amounts related to replacement of above structures are figured out on the basis of on- the- spot investigations with engineers of the RDA measuring the length and height of the structures and calculating the number of square feet. In addition, they examined the existing condition and determined the best way to replace these structures during the construction period. Material cost and labor cost are also considered determining unit rates. The engineers have indicated the cost of a unit (SLR) and finally that amount is calculated with the number of required units for each loss. The total cost for each loss is given in Chapter 07 of this report. These costs are calculated without deducting salvage value.
For affected lands
Names of all owners of the land and the amount (plot sizes) to be acquired or purchased are provided in Table 9 of Annex 06A and Table 09 of Annex 06B of this report.
To purchase or acquire required lands the RDA will follow a transparent process as follows;
The lands will be taken on willing buyer-willing seller basis.
The RDA determines that land is appropriate for the intended purpose
It will be at the replacement value at current market prices of the area.
The seller will have the option to refuse it.
It will be at replacement value at current market prices.
If any acquisition is carried out it will follow normal acquisition procedure without following the section 38A Proviso, which is the emergency procedure of the LAA.
It does not negatively affect the livelihood of any vulnerable group, and if so, that community developed mitigation measures are acceptable to the affectee.
There are no encumbrances on the lands.
The lands should not belong to any person who is below the poverty line.
64 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------For Trees ( timber and Fruits trees)
Privately owned Timber trees have been valued at SL Rs. 20,000 per tree while a fruit tree is valued according to the annual income of fruits. It is estimated that annual income of a fruit tree is SL Rs.2000.00. (Sea annex 06c). The project has got assistance from the Divisional Forest Officer and Agriculture Research Development Officer of the area to value the trees. The following factors will be considered for in the valuation process.
Current market value of timber Demand and current price of fruits. The life time of the trees The present age of the trees and potential for productivity.
The total cost for the trees is provided in the Chapter 07 of this report.

6.4 Grievance Redress Mechanism
The RAP identifies a range of potential social impacts of construction of roads selected for rehabilitation and illustrates the measures and procedures needed to redress or mitigate grievances.
The sole purpose of the measures of redresses recommended in RAP is to avoid economic and social hardships to people resulting from the construction effects of the project. In order to accomplish this purpose, it is essential that the mitigation measures recommended in the RAP are followed closely by the project implementing agency. All of the recommended mitigation measures in the RAP are essential and none is significantly more important than the others. Some adverse impacts like resettlement of people are not likely to occur due to the scope of this project. This, notwithstanding, will be essential that certain measures recommended are closely followed prior to actual implementation of the scheduled work.
On the basis of the RAP, the note below provides a draft for the grievance redress measures, steps and procedures to be adopted by the RDA for each project. To assist the implementers, samples of reporting formats and applications are also outlined.
6.4.1. Proposed Grievance Redress Steps and Procedures
Maintaining of complaint register
Care will always be taken to prevent grievances rather than going through redressal system. Grievance can be minimized through careful sub-project design and implementation by ensuring active participation and consultation with APs, establishing rapport between the community and RDA through frequent interactions, transparency and monitoring. As a first step of the grievance redress steps a complaint register will be maintained in each REs office. On receiving a complaint, it will be registered at the RE‟s office and complaint will be given a reference number. Then RE
75 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------will review the complaint received and its documentation and also make arrangements to redress it. If the issue cannot be handled / settled by the RE himself / herself the complaint will be referred to the Grievance Redress Committee.
Establishment of a Grievance Redress Mechanism Committee (GRC) Grievance Redress Committees (GRCs) will be formed by the RDA in each Pradeshiya Sabha or other appropriate project locations consisting of the following members as given in table 6.3.

Creation of Awareness of the Grievance Redress Mechanism - RDA should inform the relevant APs/Communities, Grama Niladharis, Local Samurdhi Officers and Social Development officers of the Divisional Secretariats and Pradeshiya Sabhas of the areas about the existence of grievance redress mechanism.
RDA should prepare flyers indicating:
Project brief including the benefits of the rehabilitated road for the public
Procedures for registering a complaint
Categories of persons, institutions and property/assets affected that can claim compensation
Explanation of those who would not be considered as an affected person, property etc.
The address of the authority to receive and register the application with the name of the officer in-charge, address, and telephone/fax numbers to contact.
Receiving Application for Redress The applications regarding grievances for redressal can be submitted to the Resident Engineer (RE) on week days during office hours. These applications are registered in the RE‟s office with all details such as names of the person, type of grievances etc. The RE along with the social safeguards staff will be responsible for the resolution of the grievance at the local level and if required will request a meeting of the GRC and
77 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------inform the other committee members regarding the grievance registered and actions taken so far.
A copy of the application for redress should be sent promptly to Provincial Director/RDA and Secretary/GRC with the observation of the RE.
6.4.2 Redress Committee Meetings (RCMs), Hearings, Proceedings and Recommendations
Depending on the applications to be considered, Redress Committee Meetings will be held in the Office of the Resident Engineer on the Thursday of every second week of the month at 2.00 p.m. If this day falls on a holiday, the meeting will be held on the following day at 2.00 p.m. In some cases, a need will arise to hold more than one sitting. In such instances, Provincial Director (PD) will schedule additional meetings and inform the applicant early in writing. Schedule must be strictly adhered to. If a member cannot attend a scheduled sitting, a representative should be sent. Minutes of the meetings, including the decisions taken regarding redress or otherwise, will be recorded by the GRC Secretary.
Minutes should be signed by all members of GRC. Applications, investigation reports, minutes of meetings and the decisions of the GRC on each of the application for redress should be maintained in the office of the PD/RDA for future reference.
6.4.3 Implementation of decisions of GRC The minutes of the GRC signed by the GRC members are maintained at the office of the Provincial Director of RDA. The recommendations along with other issues will be sent to the Project Director within a week after the GRC meeting. The same information will also be sent to the relevant applicants for his information. The recommendations will be implemented before the construction work is started in the sections of the road where affected persons have claimed for redress.
6.5 Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanism
Monitoring and evaluation are vital activities of the project. The project has the responsibility to implement all activities identified and on time. The objectives of monitoring of the RP are to: 1.) ensure all activities of the RP are implemented 2.) Ensure that the standard of living of affectees is restored or improve 3) Monitor whether the time lines are being met, 4) Assess whether mitigation efforts are sufficient, 5) Identify construction related problems or potential problems, and 6) Identify methods of responding immediately to mitigate hardships.
78 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------The monitoring and evaluation of the mitigation process is carried out by the RDA. The RSAP II project office and the consultant‟s office are responsible for implementing a suitable program for monitoring and evaluation of the social impact mitigation with active participation of the staff of each RE‟s office in the respective sub-project areas.
The staff attached to the RE‟s offices is involved in supervision of the construction activities and also mitigation of negative impacts. One of the main roles assigned to this group is frequent monitoring of the field condition on impact mitigation.
The reports they prepare based on their monitoring are sent to RSAP project office and the consultants' office located in Colombo.
The monitoring indicators consist of activities, performance and outcome as laid out in the entitlement matrix to ensure that the affected persons are identified in the RP and receive the compensation on time for those that they eligible for (Please see Table 6.4 for monitoring & evaluation indicators).
In addition the GRM will be closely monitored to ensure that all complaints are resolved on time and in a satisfactory manner. The conflict filter, that is a part of the project, will also be monitored. The specific objectives of the M&E program are;
to ensure that the existing livelihood system of APs is not disturbed. to monitor whether the timelines are being met; to assess if compensation, rehabilitation measures are sufficient; to identify problems or potential problems to identify methods of responding immediately to mitigate problems.
Furthermore, the M&E program will (a) record and assess project inputs and the number of persons affected and compensated, and (b) confirm that former subsistence levels and living standards are being re-established.
Internal Monitoring Internal monitoring will be conducted by RDA with the involvement of project office, construction supervisory consultant office and especially the REs office in each sub project area. The resettlement specialists with support from staff of construction supervision and also the environmental officers hired by the contractors will collect information from the project sites and reflect them in the form of a monthly or quarterly progress report to assess the progress and results of RP implementation, and adjust the work program, where necessary, in case of any delays or problems. A set of indicators mentioned in table 6.4 is proposed to

Baseline census, socio-economic survey and the land purchasing and acquisition data will provide the necessary benchmark for field level monitoring. The methods that will be used to carry out field level monitoring include:
(a) Review of census / information for all APs; (b) Consultation and informal interviews with APs; (c) In-depth case studies; (d) Informal sample survey of APs; (e) Key informant interviews; and (f) Community public meetings.
The project will appoint an external social expert on resettlement to carryout field level monitoring.
External Monitoring – Third party validation
External monitoring or third party validation will be conducted by an independent external body. Objective of Third Party Validation (TPV) will be to validate the results of the internal monitoring system and to measure the effectiveness of implementing the RAP on the lives of PAPs. Special attention will be paid on issues of land acquisition. RDA will make arrangement to conduct TPV at two stages. The first TPV will be carried out once the entire land acquisition process is completed. The second one will be done at the end of the project.
Management Information System (MIS)
The RSAP project office in Colombo is maintaining a computer based data base, on all construction activities of the project. Some information on mitigatory actions of social impacts is also included in the data base. However the RDA will enhance the data on resettlement issues and the actions taken for mitigation of such issues. The information reported by each RE office will be used to develop the data base.
81 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------Reporting Requirements
The Project Management Unit of the RSAP office is the overall responsible organization for reporting of the project progress and other aspects to the Bank.
Each RE office will prepare progress reports and submit to Colombo based offices, Project Director‟s office and the construction supervisory consultants‟ office. The Project director‟s office will send progress reports to the Bank based on the report submitted by the supervisory consultant. This reporting will be carried out quarterly or biannually.

6.6 Strategies to obtain community support to minimize negative social impacts through awareness programmes.
The RSAP will provide funds for a wide range of training programmes on social safeguards of the project.
Training programmes will be organized by the project management unit by obtaining services from outside experts for RDA staff, PMU staff, Consultants staff and Contractors to raise their awareness of social safeguards policies. These awareness programmes will help them to deal effectively with negative social issues raised by the public.
The training programmes include public awareness programmes, local seminars and workshops.
87 Resettlement Action Plan for Road Sector Assistance Project II, August, 2010
------
The capacity building programmes on social safeguards will be conducted in each road section. The information related to Resettlement Action Plan will be disseminated for the public information on the project and its implications. Suggested mitigatory measures for negative social impacts will be discussed during the awareness programmes.
All information about the project activities will be provided to help minimize negative impacts and obtain support of the community affected. The Resident Engineers and staff members will closely contacts with the project affected families, the community, community leaders, religious leaders and local politicians of the project area. Several training programmes / awareness programmes will be conducted for the contractors and laborers to make them aware of the project and their role in dealing with social issues.
The contractors will be provided with all information of the project including negative impacts that may emerge during the construction period and entitlement policies to minimize the negative impacts.
6.6.1 Conducting HIV/AIDS Awareness Programmes
The project contract specifies that the contractors shall conduct awareness programmes via an “approved Service Provider” and shall undertake such other measures as are specified herein to reduce the risk of the transfer of HIV virus between contractors‟ personnel and the local community, to promote early diagnosis and assist affected individuals.
The current ratio of HIV-positive men to women in Sri Lanka is reportedly 1.4 to 1, although in reality, there are probably far more men infected than women as in most early phase HIV epidemic. The current estimated HIV prevalence ( the ratio of the number cases of a disease present in a statistical population at a specified time and the number of individuals in the population at that specified time) in the sexually active age group ( between 15-49 year olds) is less than 0.1% which categorizes the status of HIV in Sri Lanka as “low prevalence”.
The proposed programme by contractors will see to raise awareness and generate behavior change amongst all persons involved in commercial sex transaction at the temporary housing sites for construction workers and the surrounding communities of roads construction sites. This includes working with all levels of employees including construction workers (skilled and unskilled), migrant as well as those from the locality and management personnel. The programme will also intend to work with members of surrounding communities who are considered highly vulnerable to engage in risky sex-behavior, particularly the commercial sex activity because of poverty and inexperience of the people living in the project areas.

Chapter 7
Cost Calculation for mitigation of negative impacts – (As per designs)
7.0. Introduction
The overall responsibility for implementing mitigatory measures of the Project Management Unit, created specifically for the RSAP II. The Construction Supervision Unit also plays an active role in the implementation of the resettlement activities.
7.1 Cost calculation for affected structures
The cost calculation is done on the basis of guidelines and methodology discussed in the chapter 05 of this report.
The unit prices and total amounts related to replacement of affected structures are figured out as follows,
1. On- the- spot investigations with engineers of the RDA. 2. Measuring the length and height of the structures and calculating the number of square feet of each of them. 3. Examine the existing conditions and determine the best way to replace these structures during the construction period. 4. Analyzing current prices of building materials in the area. 5. Examine labor cost related to construction industry in the area.
Finally the engineers have indicated the unit price (SLR) and total amount is calculated with the number of required units for each loss. Total cost related to replacement of affected structures is provided in separate tables for each package.
7.2 Cost calculation for affected lands.
Cost calculation for lands is done on the basis of guidelines and methodology discussed in chapter 05 of this report. The project authorities have taken a decision to purchase required lands at the value of market prices of the area.
If any land owner is not willing to sell his/her land to the RDA. The RDA can take actions to acquire the required land under normal acquisition procedure of the land Acquisition Act of Sri Lanka. Total cost related to affected lands is provided in separate tables for each package.

Source – Social Survey for RAP – 2010
Female headed families are the most suffering group among these vulnerable groups. The main income of all such families is conducting small scale business such as selling food items. d. Gender - Many sociologists have identified, Sri Lankan societies comprised of male – headed or father – based families. The proposed project area of Ambepussa - Dambulla falls into rural, economically backward geographical region. Therefore women have to participate in economic activities and other social and personal matters.
The proposed road rehabilitation project of Ambepussa – Dambulla and Kanthale - Trincomalee would be a great step to solve the gender related problems in the project area particular to rural and economically backward project affected people of these road sections.

Government of Sri Lanka Roads Sector Assistance Project II
Terms of Reference for Preparation of Social Impact Assessment
1. Introduction
The Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) has requested financing from the World Bank to assist them to rehabilitate, improve and maintain the national roads network with an objective to achieve improved and sustainable road transport by enhancing the durability, efficiency and economic impact of the national road network. The proposed projects will only focus on rehabilitation1, improvement2 and maintenance3 of national roads selected through a strategic study, in order to facilitate economic activity in the areas served and provides users with better road safety conditions. The Road Sectors Assistance project- II will address rehabilitation of A and B class national roads traversing across Eastern, North Central, North Western Central and Western provinces. The executing agency will be Ministry of Highways and Road Development whilst the implementation will be carried out by the Road Development Authority (RDA). The proposed road sections Nochchiyagma-Anuradhapura-Trincomalee, Kanthale- Trincomalee, Ambepussa-Habarana and Kadawatha-Nittambuwa of 300 km have been prioritized based on the Road Sector Master Plan adopted by the RDA. It is expected that a conflict assessment will be carried out prior to confirmation. The project will build on the lessons learnt from the Road Sector Assistance project ( CR 4138 CE) closing in march 2011 and is expected to address the maintenance of national roads as well as road safety.
Projects and Programs financed with IDA resources need to comply with World Bank Operational Policies. Therefore, sub-contracts and components eligible for funding under this project will be required to satisfy the World Bank’s safeguard policies, in addition to conformity with social policies of the GoSL. The activities to be financed by the project do not have the potential to trigger significant negative social impacts. It is anticipated that environmental and social issues and impacts would be minimal for road rehabilitation and maintenance projects.
1 Rehabilitation: Bringing existing deteriorated roads to previous/original conditions. It will likely to involve improving drainage/slopes/embankments/other structures, strengthening pavements, complete resurfacing and recuperating civil works. All of the work is done on the existing platform or right of way and no additional land acquisition needed. 2 Improvements: Improving road specifications. Most of the work is done on the existing platform or right of way. Additional land acquisition may be needed. Activities include widening lanes and shoulders, adding extra lanes in steep inclines, improving curves and strengthening bridges. 3 Maintenance: Routine or periodic works to maintain the road in working conditions. All of the work is done on existing platform. It may include routine works, patching potholes, clearing drains, etc. and periodic works such as resurfacing, line marking and bridge maintenance. However, if there are improvements such as widening lanes and shoulders, adding extra lanes in steep inclines, etc. depending on the road locality, there may be possible impacts to the environment and people where the existing roads are running through or closer to forested areas, wetlands, settlements, business premises, etc. There may also be social impacts in terms of loss of land and other assets/infrastructure /livelihood located on the land, particularly if the ROW is insufficient to meet the design needs; impact on Indigenous Peoples; and vulnerable. In addition, all IDA funded interventions are required to conform with the “conflict filters” in order to help mitigate the reputational risks to the Bank, and to enhance development effectiveness by ensuring that opportunities for addressing the causes and consequences of the conflict are pursued to the maximum extent.
2. Description of the project components including the selected road list to be covered under this SIA. Also discuss the alternatives reviewed prior to selection of these roads and how these were selected ( consultation should be undertaken for the selection)
3. Potential Social Issues: The roads identified for the improvement is existing A and B class roads. The proposed construction activities involve widening to at least two lane operations with improvement of the surface, construction of side drains, widening or replacement of culverts and bridges, removal of the roadside structures and trees. The project does not envisage acquisition of land but to remain within the existing Row. The critical social impacts are the following: Conflict: Most of the project is emerging out of a long conflict and the Transparent distribution of benefits: ensure that benefits reach all groups in the communities Inclusion: This is another critical issue in this area and there is a feeling of exclusion by some groups. The SIA will make extra efforts to include every ethnic and religious groups including men, women and youth. Vulnerability: The SIA will focus on vulnerability of the groups from the point of view of social and economic vulnerability, and those as a result of physical causes (disability, war injuries, old age, orphans, widows etc.) Gender: Women and children are a major victim of all conflicts. The SIA will focus on this group along with men and bring out the implication of the interventions (both positively and negatively). In addition all information and data will be disaggregated by gender and ethnic and religious groups. Risks: The SIA will highlight the social risks anticipated in the implementation of the project.
From the perspective of compensation, the Report will focus on the following; Land: assess the quantity of land that will be required and the mode of acquisition. Voluntary donation cannot be used for land where the requirement is known at preparation stage. In addition the urgency/emergency clause will not be used in the absence of a situation or urgency/emergency. Encroachers/squatters: There may be encroachers /squatters owning property /livelihood on the roads. Any squatter or encroacher impacted by the project will be compensated for assets/infrastructure under the entitlement matrix. All non title holders are eligible to payment for assets/infrastructure and lively hood restoration. Only for payment of land a title will be required. Assets: There may be privately owned/community owned assets that may be impacted and will need to be compensated at replacement value, market price. Infrastructure; There may be infrastructure privately/community owned or owned by the government on the roads and will be compensated at replacement cost or replaced. Utilities: All utilities impacted will be removed and compensated Access: The project will not obstruct access to households/businesses etc. during construction. Alternate access will need to be provided and should be documented in the Report loss of livelihood : loss to business or loss of livelihood of vulnerable persons will be compensated/restored/ Any other impact not presently envisaged but identified during preparation of the Social Impact Assessment and compensated accordingly.
4. Methodology: The consultant will use a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods.
Qualitative analysis: Stakeholders Consultations will be undertaken with all the communities in the project area while being mindful that road widening and other construction activities might be undertaken in socially and politically sensitive areas, particularly with a record of conflict. The consultant will be particularly cognizant of the conflict situation and prepare robust consultation plan to include all sensitive issues, and groups focusing on the vulnerability of each group. The consultations will focus on ways to ensure that there is no favoritism in the distribution of benefits and transparency has been maintained in all aspects of the projects, and ensure that all consultations send this message out. All consultations must be inclusive of men, women and youth. In addition to the above, the qualitative aspects of the report the consultant will also undertake the following: i). Social Screening: identify in detail, possible social and political impacts (positive and negative) that may arise as a result of the different types of works; Based on the potential impacts identified above, undertake detailed and specific assessments of social impacts for the interventions and prepare derailed and practical social and political impact assessment. ii) Carry out specific consultation with likely affected communities and visit all identified roads to develop strip map and indicate all information on structures, utilities and land use that is likely to be affected within the project impact zone. (List of consultations with identification of groups consulted, date of consultation, issues discussed, etc. to be provided in the annex) iii) Scope out all social issues for which detailed impact assessment would be required and analyze major and minor social impact issues including - identification of congested areas, accident prone zones, loss of assets, livelihood, poverty, gender and health issues and estimate the economic and social impacts on people and land. iv) Establish the likely types of economic and social impact on people including on private land, traditional and customary rights, lease land, common property resources, religious sites, different usage of legal right of way (if and where applicable). v) Identify possible social risks to proposed mitigation measures. Stakeholder consultations will be used at all phases of the study beginning from selection of roads up to preparation of mitigation measures. Consultations will use group meetings, focus group discussions, information provided by key informants etc.
Quantitative analysis: The report will use secondary and primary data/information. The consultant will undertake: a) a socio economic sample survey of the project area. This will include information on socio economic indicators including but not limited to poverty levels, health education indicators along with facilities providing these services, information on income levels and sources of employment, types of hoses and types of families ( nuclear, extended etc), information on sources of drinking water, sanitation, etc. all information will be disaggregated by gender. b) census of all project affected persons and assets. This will include the following i. A census of all affected persons (provide names and ID in the annex) ii. An income and asset survey for all assets/ infrastructure /income impacted both of individuals and community owned (details in the annex with photographs for loss of assets) iii. An engineering estimate of the asset/infrastructure lost iv. An estimate of all utilities to be impacted. v. A cost estimate of all losses (at replacement cost and market prices)
Cutoff date: A cutoff date will be announced by the consultant. This is the date the SIA is initiated. Any person moving into the areas subsequent to the announcement of the date will not be an eligible affectee.
5. Outcome: A social impact assessment report with i) social analysis of impacts and risks along with ii) detailed report laying the magnitude of social impacts ( i.e. number of affected persons, assets infrastructure livelihood etc, of loss of as provided in the methodology) and iii) social mitigation measures.

PMU requested to take maximum effort to prevent any accidents in our Contract Packages. After discussing with the PMU, a new system to be deducted from the IPC has been decided as follows.
Deduction amount Level of poor safety arrangements (Rs.) Rs. 50,000/= At high risk sites/places. Rs. 30,000/= At medium risk sites/places Rs. 20,000/= At low risk sites/places
Above deductions will be double at the second time and treble at the third time of the offences.
The level of the risk will be decided by the Team Leader/Resident Engineer. If there is any unclear thing in this system, the final decision will be taken by the Team Leader where it is necessary.
This new system will be effective from ------.
Please remember that if the safety arrangements are not sufficient, the Contractor should not be allowed to do any works.
Regards,
For and on behalf of the Engineer
