EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. Project Introduction

In 2009, the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan (the Government) entered into a Financing Framework Agreement (FFA) with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for a multitranche financing facility (MFF) to finance Water Supply and Sanitation Services Investment Program (the Investment Program), in an aggregated amount not exceeding $300 million from ADB's Special Funds resources. On 29 September 2009 the ADB Board of Directors approved the MFF Program with Uzbekistan Agency "Uzkommunhizmat" (UCSA) as the Executive Agency (EA).

For Tranche 2, the Government requested ADB to finance rehabilitation and expansion of water supply and wastewater management systems in Andijan, Fergana, Kokand, and Margilan cities and water supply system in Rishtan city, which are priorities for development.1 Immediate rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of water supply and sanitation (WSS) systems and development of vodokanals' operational capacity is needed to prevent the systems from further deterioration and provide acceptable WSS services to about 1.1 million residents in these cities.

On 16 March 2010, the second Periodic Financing Request (PFR) was submitted to ADB for financing. The period from 2010 to 2013 was the period of gathering documents and social economic information. And on 21 September 2013 was fully updated the LARP and the date is cut of date. On 12 December 2012 was held the bid of rehabilitation of Water Supply Systems of 3 cities (Fergana, Margilan and Rishtan). On 20 September, 2013 the ADB evaluation has confirmed that the above civil works package will need to be re-bid. On 16 April, 2014 the above civil works package was announced in the ADB website to be re-bid and the deadline of submission date was on 28 May, 2014 and the civil works are being evaluated at the moment.

Initial social assessment was conducted to identify social impacts of the proposed water supply subproject for Rishton City. As a result, Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared to mitigate impact of the land acquisition and permanent loss of assets and property caused by the construction of 2 new water wells and other structures to be located at the land owned by “Tayyorlovsavdo” LLC located in Tekstilnaya St., Rishton City.

The objectives of the proposed LARP are: (i) to identify the project impact on the community in terms of loss of assets, livelihood and income; (ii) to outline measures to mitigate the adverse impact; and (iii) provide an estimate for budgetary allocation for compensation of loss of assets and resettlement benefits. And if required, for loss of income & livelihood, according to principles and guidelines provided in the entitlement matrix prepared for UZB: WSS Services Improvement Investment Program.

After final design was completed, minor changes have been made to some components, such as construction of 16.7 km of new water transmission main, and Installation of 2 new wells at existing Topvaldiev site have slightly changed the resettlement plan, As a result, the LARP was updated in September 2013 based on detailed survey and consultation with affected people. Table below lists the main change between original LARP in 2010 and updated one in September 2013.

I. INTRODUCTION

1. Uzbekistan Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) Services Investment Program has been initiated with a view to improving living standard in urban areas with the help of upgrading water supply and sanitation services which, till now, is less than satisfactory. Access to safe water and sanitation facilities have direct impact on poverty reduction and welfare improvement strategy. Apart from investment in physical infrastructure the program also proposes for long term capacity building and institutional strengthening of the executing agency and staff training.

2. The objectives of the proposed LARP are the follows: (i) identify the project impact on the community in terms of loss of assets, livelihood and income; (ii) outline measures to mitigate the adverse impact; and (iii) provide an estimate for budgetary allocation for compensation of loss of assets and resettlement benefits. And if required, for loss of income & livelihood, according to principles and guidelines provided in the entitlement matrix prepared for UZB: WSS Services Improvement Investment Program. The primary purpose of this LARP is to identify steps to restore the living standards of the affected persons (APs) to the pre-project situation within a short period of time without any disruptions of their own economic and social environment.

3. This updated Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared in accordance with the final design and was carried out from September 2013 to July 2014. According to this design estimated amount of required land for construction of a new water intake in Rishtan subproject will be 2.1 ha. From this 1.2 ha will be required permanently and 0.9 ha temporary.

4. Permanent land acquisition will affect Tayorlovsavdo LLC (0.85 ha) and district reserve land (0.35 ha) that acquired lands are presented in Figure 1 below. The land will be used for construction of two new water wells. The land to be acquired is in unused space and the structures to be affected e.g. administration building is no longer being used by the enterprise. According to the Chairperson of the LLC, remaining 0.75 ha of land is sufficient for their company’s business operations and that the compensation for the lost structures will be used as additional capital to their enterprise’s business development. District reserve land will not be compensated since the district directly benefits from the project.

5. Temporary land acquisition will affect 2 orchards and 3 farms land (0.90 ha) by lying down pipelines. The project will impact only trees since no crops are planted on this land. After end of the project land will be given back to the households for further use.

6. The updated LARP was prepared by adopting the following approach:

(i) After final design was obtained from the engineer, field survey was undertaken to identify the impacts of land acquisition that will be required by the Project. (ii) After scope of impacts were identified, consultation with affected people was carried out with the following objectives: (i) to survey the socio economic conditions of affected people, (ii) to explain their right of compensation based on the entitlement matrix, and (iii) provide other information including the planning schedule for implementing the project, the grievance redress mechanism.

The consultation with affected people was also carried out during the period of updating LARP including consultation with other stakeholders.

7. Taking into account the above objectives, there is no change adopted for entitlement matrix and also the institutional arrangement of implementing LARP. Nonetheless, the cut of date was changed due to the new impact of the design on land acquisition. The update date of the cut date applied for this updated LARP is now September 2013.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

8. The subproject is intended to extend and improve water supply access to households by constructing new transmission pipeline and rehabilitation of existing distribution networks and existing boreholes and new wells, specifically:

(i) Rehabilitation of 7 existing wells at Sokh River well field to supply 10,000 m3/day of water; (ii) Construction of new bulk water supply unit, including new pumps and chlorination system; (iii) Construction of 16.7 kms of new water transmission main impacting 2 households route and 3 farms from the well field to WDU-2; (iv) Installation of 2 new wells at existing Topvaldiev site, with capacity of 2,900 m3/day; (v) Rehabilitation of existing WDU-2, including the storage reservoirs structures and buildings, and replace all mechanical, electrical and control systems; (vi) Replacement of 33.8 kms corroded and leaking pipe in the distribution system; (vii) Construction of 20 kms of new distribution lines to expand water system coverage from 70%-100% which is in 2025 the expected number of population reaches to 38,000 people.

9. The assessment of the above works from the land and other property acquisition as well as resettlement standpoint shows the following:

(i) Construction and rehabilitation of existing wells, reservoirs and water distribution lines (points i, ii, v, vi, and vii in the paragraph 8) will be at the same place allocated to the district vodakanal and/or right-of way of the Khokimiyat city, therefore there is no requirement for additional land acquisition and will not have any impact due to land acquisition and resettlement issues.

(ii) Construction of 2 new water wells in Topvoldiev site will require 1.2 ha of land areas. It includes 0.35 ha of community reserve land and 0.85 ha of land areas used by Tayyorlovsavdo LLC which will require compensation for losses of permanent buildings and structures. The land to be acquired will not affect the income of the owner and of the workers since the land to be acquired is an unused space and that the structures to be affected e.g. administration building is no longer being used by the enterprise. According to the Chairperson of the LLC, the remained part of the land is sufficient for their company’s business operations and that the compensation for the lost structures will be used as additional capital to their enterprise. In “Tayyorlovsavdo” there are 10 employees will be affected including 1 woman and 9 men.

(iii) The construction of new trunk mains in Rishtan city also affects 2 households and 3 farms.

10. Assessment of the Rishton’s existing water supply system revealed that out of 34,000 city population, only 21,000 (62%) are being served with water supply. Because various problems such as: storage reservoir is in poor condition, most of the pumps are not working, the chlorination doesn’t work, transmission pipelines are old and leak which are causing contamination, not all households have water meters and if they have, there are not working and water pressure is low.

11. On figure 1 the impacted lands are showed with separate colors.

XII. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

80. All LAR tasks under the program will be subject to internal monitoring. Internal monitoring will be conducted by UCSA’s Social and Environmental Sub Unit (SESU).

81. Internal monitoring will be carried out regularly by UCSA-SESU. The progress of LARP implementation to be carried out by PSC’s resettlement team and Mahalla will be communicated to ADB through the monthly Program Implementation Reports. Indicators for the internal monitoring will be those related to the processes and immediate outputs and results. This information will be collected directly from the field and reported monthly to the PMU. The monthly reports will be consolidated and included in the standard quarterly supervision reports to ADB. Internal monitoring will specifically focus on the status of:

(i) information campaign and consultation with APs; (ii) revise implementation schedule in case of design change (iii) revise AP database in case of design change (iv) compensation and assistance payments for structures and trees / other assets; (v) payments for loss of income for the vulnerable HH; (vi) grievance redress, if any; and (vii) preparing monthly progress report.

82. The above information will be collected by the UCSA-SLAU which will monitor the day- to-day resettlement activities of the Program through the following instruments: (i) review of census information for all APs; (ii) consultation and informal interviews with APs; (iii) in-depth case studies; (iv) key informant interviews; and (v) community meetings.

83. A final evaluation of LARP implementation will be carried out about a year after completion of its implementation. The compelling reason for this study is to find out if the objectives of the LARP have been attained or not. The benchmark data of socioeconomic survey of severely affected APs conducted during the preparation of the LARP will be used to compare the pre and post program conditions. The evaluation will recommend appropriate supplemental assistance for the APs if the outcome of the study shows that the objectives of the LARP have not been achieved
