I. INTRODUCTION

1. The Government of Bangladesh is developing secondary towns to improve living standards, particularly in the poorer areas, and to provide an alternative destination for rural dwellers that would otherwise join the migration to larger metropolitan centres, through Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement (Sector) project (UGIIP-III). UGIIP-III is being implemented as a sector loan approach. After the successful implementation of Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Projects (UGIIP I and II) in the selected Pourashavas, the Local Government Engineering Department(LGED) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) have planned to implement a similar project (UGIIP-III) in pre-selected 31 Pourashavas over a period of 6 years (2014 to 2020).

2. The impact will be improved living environment tin project towns. The outcome will be improved municipal service delivery and urban governance in project towns. UGIIP-III will improve existing and provide new municipal infrastructures including (i) roads; (ii) Drainages; (iii) water supply system; (iv) solid waste management facilities; (v) slaughterhouses; (vi) markets, community centres/auditorium, bus and truck terminals and river ghats;(vii) public toilets; and (viii) others such as provision for street lighting and improvement of slums.

3. A sector-lending approach i s be ing used for the project as it has been well established and successfully practiced in the UGIIP-I and II. In accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 requirements a Resettlement Framework (RF) have been prepared.

4. During project preparation, resettlement plans (RPs) were prepared for 3 sample Pourashavas covering roads, drainage, kitchen market and solid waste management Sub- Projects. The RPs concluded that the project will have only temporary impacts and therefore, UGIIP-III has been categorized as resettlement Category B as per ADB SPS 2009. As a basic development principle, significant resettlement impacts (Category A type project) should be avoided to the extent possible in future Sub-Projects. For any components, the social and resettlement assessments documents will be formulated and approved by ADB before any physical activities start.

5. This Resettlement and Social Impact Assessment Report has been prepared for Roads and Drainage Improvement Sub-Project of Magura Pourashava. In Phase-2, the Pourashava has 03 (Three) Packages consist of 40 schemes (37 Nos. of roads and 03 Nos. of drains) without acquisition of land, affecting any structure and livelihood. After selection and completion of the designs of the proposed schemes, the safeguard team of the Management, Design and Supervision Consultants (MDSC) conducted resettlement and social impact assessments through thorough investigation of different social safeguard issues including land acquisition and resettlement requirements as per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009). The resettlement and social impact assessment report for Magura Pourashava has been prepared based on the feasibility study and detailed engineering designs.

6. During investigations, it was revealed that the roads and drains proposed for improvement under Packages will be implemented on the existing alignment of roads and drains and due to the improvement/ construction of the aforesaid roads are not expecting to have neither any physical nor any economic displacement of any people. As a result, there is no possibility of land acquisition and no structure affected, none found to require relocation, and consequently no involuntary resettlement (IR) impact are anticipating thus the Sub-Project is classified as Category C for IR. Under the circumstances, this report may be treated as due diligence report (DDR) with respect to social safeguard issues for the concern Sub-Project.

B. Institutional Set-up

7. The Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) and the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), both under the Local Government Division (LGD) of the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (M/O LGRD&C) and having experience in managing urban and water supply projects financed by ADB, are the executing agencies of the project. The participating Pourashavas are the implementing agencies (IAs) with a project implementation unit (PIU)) within the Pourashava structure. Implementation activities would be overseen by a Project Management Office (PMU). Management, Design and Supervision Consultants (MDSC) and Governance Improvement and Capacity Development (GICD) consultants are supposed to provide support for (i) detailed engineering design, contract documents preparation and safeguards facilitation; (ii) project management and administrative support; (iii) assistance in supervising construction; (iv) awareness raising on behavioural change activities. Safeguards officers have been appointed in PMU and PIUs and responsible to undertake day to day safeguards tasks and requirements including implementation of project’s grievance redress mechanism.

II. SUB-PROJECT DESCIPTION

8. Location: Magura Pourashava is an A class Pourashava, consists of 09 (nine) wards situated in Magura District under Khulna Division.

10. The Sub-Project went through the process of meeting the selection criteria (general and technical), environmental and social safeguard screening and conforming to the municipal infrastructure development plan (PDP) and drainage master plan prepared for in UGIIP-II. Locations and sitting of the proposed infrastructures considered: (i) locating components on government-owned land and/or within existing right-of-way (ROW) to reduce acquisition of land, (II)prioritizing rehabilitation/ improvement over new construction; (IIi) taking all possible measures in design and selection of sites to avoid resettlement impacts; (iv) avoiding where possible locations that will result in destruction/disturbance to historical and cultural places/values; (v)avoiding tree-cutting where possible; and (vi) ensuring all planning and design interventions and decisions are made in consultation with local communities and reflecting inputs from public consultation and disclosure for site selection.

11. The components of the Sub-Project seek to upgrade and expand the urban services. The roads and drains are located in different wards of the Pourashava. The proposal is concerned with activities, which address the most acute needs for better urban services and facilities to inhabitants of the town/Pourashava. Figure 1 shows the location of Magura Pourashava and Figure 2 shows the location of Sub-Project’s schemes alignment of roads and drains proposed under the Sub-Project. No road needs resettlement, replacement or relocation. Strip diagrams of roads and drains are given as sample in Figures 3.

12. The roads proposed are all existing internal service roads. Most of the roads are lower than the houses beside them. So, water from houses flow over the roads and as a result, the roads damage. There are low lying areas and ditches by the side of many roads needing retaining walls for protection of road embankments including shoulders. The Pourashava is subjected to flood. All the roads will be improved by Dens bituminous carpeting (DBC) CC& RCC.

13. The Sub-Project contains drains to be constructed along the edge of the roads. All the drains will be constructed with RCC. 14. Appendix-06 provides photographs of proposed road and drains alignments of Magura Pourashava under Phase 2 of UGIIP-III.

15. Implementation Schedule. Substantial time is required spanning the continuum of Sub-Project preparation, approval, survey, design & estimate, contract award and contract execution. Efforts need to be made to follow the schedule of timely implementation of work. Normally the construction work season in Bangladesh runs from October through May (eight months). The Construction works are sometimes impeded for the following reasons:

 Early floods in April/May,  Late floods in September/October,

 Natural calamities (cyclone/tornado, excessive floods) occur in April/May and October/November.

16. Normally, the best construction period is only for 6 months a year (October to March). The construction period is sometimes squeezed to 4 months due to natural calamities. However, sometimes, based on time constraint or expediency, construction work may even need to be carried out in the monsoon. Whenever possible, parallel activities can be implemented and consequently, quantum of work can be maximized through efficient planning and adoption of best available practices.

17. Considering the above facts, it has been estimated that the implementation of phase 2 roads and drains of Magura Pourashava will cover 12-months period, and major works are advisable to take place between November, 2016 and November, 2017. A tentative time- schedule for implementation (only as an indication) is shown in Figure 4 below for period July, 2016 to December 2017 and Figure- 5 shows the typical cross sections of roads and drains.

B. Methodology used for Assessing Land Acquisition and Resettlement

19. Data collection. Necessary data regarding social, economic and gender information has been collected primarily through desk work, field visits to the proposed Sub-Projects item and one-on-one interviews with stakeholders.

20. Stakeholders and public consultations. Comprehensive discussions with MDSC consultants, Magura Pourashava officials, community people living near by the proposed Sub- Projects schemes, public representatives and other stakeholders to identify different issues, problems/ constraints and prospects and feedback from the participants in connection to roads

DDd dd

and drains construction under the Sub-Project. The consultation covers mainly information dissemination about the project/ Sub-Project and its scope, possible positive and negative impacts, involvement of local people in different activities of the project and employment in project works, etc. The public participation process included (i) identifying interested parties (stakeholders); (ii) information and providing the stakeholders with sufficient background and technical information regarding the proposed development; (iii) creating opportunities and mechanisms whereby they can participate and raise their views (issues, comments and concerns) with regard to the proposed development; (iv) giving the stakeholders feedback on process findings and recommendations; and (v) ensuring compliance to process requirements with regards to the environmental and related legislations.

21. The safeguard team of MDSC Visited Magura Pourashava From 17th August 2016 to 18th August 2016 and have a meeting with, Executive Engineer, councillors, Assistant Engineer, M.E, community local public representatives and different stakeholders at Pourashava office and at Sub-Project areas with local people, community leaders and local government representatives. Mayor of the Pourashava welcomed the team and stated ensuring all cooperation for investigation & data collection. During field visits, the consultants investigated about the existing condition of the roads and drainage alignments and emphasized on the issues like land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation., grievance redress mechanism and so on. The participants were also informed of the Sub-Project cut-off date of 30TH September 2016 (date of completion of census survey). The consultant team also talked to the local people living nearby the Sub-Project and nobody found affected. The required land for construction work is owned by Magura Pourashava and nobody found affected.

22. Relevant consultants and Pourashava officials arranged meetings at Pourashava office and different locations nearby subprojects. Four formal meetings were arranged by the Pourashava officials with the stakeholders. The meeting sites were at Parla uttar para (ward-04), Abalpur Mirer Bottola (ward-01) and Moulobi Bazer (ward-07) Doarpar shop of Rampodo saha (ward-08), at Magura Pourashava. About 60 participants were present in the consultation meeting. The subprojects are related to improvement, rehabilitation and reconstruction of roads and drains. There is no possibility of any adverse impact in terms of losing income or livelihood. Local residents, pedestrians who might be disturbed during construction work, community leaders and other stakeholders were also consulted through group meetings and one on one meeting. The subprojects are intensively visited to verify the likely impacts on the people with respect to land acquisition & resettlement, and other social safeguard issues. During site visits, concern Pourashava Assistant Engineer, Sub-Assistant Engineer, and a Surveyor accompanied by the consultants to assist identifying the locations of the roads & drains alignments. The Pourashava officials also facilitated to organizing consultations/ meetings.

23. During consultations and field visits, the issues and concerns raised were addressed by the Pourashava officials and MDSC safeguard team by informing the participants mainly that as per detailed designs private land would not be required. However, if in the course of Sub-Project implementation private land is needed to be acquired / purchased then the entitlement of the affected persons will follow the RF which has been developed based on government rules & laws and ADB safeguard policy. The participants were also informed that there would be no tree cutting, relocation of business, and mobile vendors/hawkers as the improvement works would be

DDd dd

done on the existing ROWs. The pedestrian safety would be taken care of by the contractors during construction period by providing alternate roads, safety signs & boards, and providing speed breakers where required. Moreover, mitigation measures as specified in EMPs would also be implemented by the contractors which would be closely supervised by the Pourashava officials and consultants. The participants were also informed that there would be local employment opportunity for skilled and unskilled labourers. Participation of women would be highly encouraged.

24. During discussions, the local people mentioned about the insufficiency of civic facilities, conditions of existing roads and coverage of drainage facilities, etc. The people expressed their happiness for getting project assistance for improvement of the Pourashava facilities. The roads and drain proposed under the Sub-Project were a long demand of the people of the Pourashava. The records of public consultations have been shown in Appendix-1.

25. Transect walks. The MDSC Regional Resettlement Specialist together with Magura Pourashava engineering staff conducted transect walks during June- August 2015 to do rapid appraisal of the proposed locations and alignments of Sub-Projects using a standard IR checklist annexed with this report as Appendix-2.

26. Reconnaissance Survey. The project social safe guard team (MDSC) visited Magura Pourashava during April -June 2016 to measure the widths of proposed roads and drains under Packages count the number of trees, structures, natural resources, mobile vendors/ hawkers, and other facilities, etc. along ROWs, conduct informal discussions with local communities, formal discussions with Pourashava engineers, and visual assessment of IR impacts. The output of the survey was discussed with the design engineers of the project to incorporate into the designs to minimize the IR impacts (if any).

27. Census of affected persons and inventory of affected assets. As nobody was found who may be affected by the sub-project activities, no structures to be removed/ relocated/demolished the census was not required. However, the social safeguard team found mobile hawkers/vendors within ROW who have been informed about the construction work to be implemented by Pourashava.

28. Social Safeguard Unit of MDSC, UGIIP-III has verified the roads and drains through the questionnaire that is titled” Initial Evaluation Assessment Format”. Through this format, the team members have organized consultation with users and gathered feedback on the sub projects. Finally, it has been concluded that there is no impacts on involuntary resettlement. scope of involuntary resettlement thus no impact would be occurred.

IV. FINDINGS

29. Involuntary Resettlement. As per results of the data gathering, detailed survey of the sites and alignments together with review of land records, the Sub-Project is considered as Category C, i.e., the Sub-Project does not require temporary or permanent land acquisition, and there are no impacts involving the loss of land, structures, crops and trees, businesses or income.

30. All roads components, drains under Packages will be used for construction work is duly owned by Pourashava itself. The character of the subprojects is improvement on existing roads. No new road construction or change of alignment would be involved in the subprojects. There are sufficient land within the ROWs required for widening the proposed roads and construction drains as mentioned in Table-1. MDSC together with PMU has confirmed ownership and land records of Magura Pourashava of the existing road and drain required widths in the ROWs therefore no land acquisition is required. Land ownership certificate is shown in Appendix-5.

31. In Phase-2, Magura Pourashava has 03 (Three) Packages consist of 40 schemes (37 Nos. of roads and 03 Nos. of drains). The road schemes have been proposed for rehabilitation that would be implemented as improvement in the existing ROW and 03 Nos. of drains would be constructed in the existing damaged drains. All drains’ outfalls are connected to the river Nabaganga & the natural cannels.

32. The Social Safeguard Unit of MDSC for UGIIP-III further verified and checked the roads and drains through the questionnaire that is titled “Initial Evaluation Assessment Format”. Through this format, the team members have organized consultation with the sub-project users and gathered feedback on the sub-projects. There are no encroachers and squatters found but some mobile vendors and hawkers along the proposed roads and drains ROWs are found. They are noticed about the development works have been taken up by the Pourashava and they have given their consent to move to other suitable places. For recording and documentation purposes, the following are the socio-economic information and profile of survey participants.

(i) no BPLs along the proposed drain and roads alignments sites (ii) no indigenous people (IP) along roads and drain alignments sites

33. There is sufficient space along the ROWs for staging area, construction equipment, and stockpiling of materials. Besides, there is no possibility of affecting any structure needing relocation by the Sub-Project activities as per detailed design of the components. Moreover, there is no possibility of loss of livelihood, neither permanent nor temporary due to loss of land/ assets occupied or squatting by anybody, is expected for the proposed development. Therefore, the potential impact of the Sub-Project on privately owned land/ assets has been fully eliminated, and correspondingly, no issues relating to involuntary resettlement will occur during implementation of the Sub-Project. Thus, it has been concluded that there is no IR impact and the Sub-Project is classified as Category C for IR.

34. Since full road closures are not expected during construction, it might be occurred to halt movement of pedestrians and vehicles during the road construction and curing in relatively narrower roads to divert vehicles and pedestrians towards the alternative roads/ pathways. There are several roads in the locality. While a road is in full closure, there are others roads to be used. Digging of road and drain also interrupt pedestrians accessing their home/shop along-side the ROW. The contractors/authority have already been addressed the issue and redressing the grievances using alternative roads. Showing signboard for using alternative roads, deploying 42

persons, setting steel/wooden platform for helping vehicles and pedestrians to go on to the destination or another road are means for mitigating the problem.

35. Residents and businesses along the sub-project sites may experience temporary impacts such as increased noise, vibration, dust and restriction of vehicles movement during construction phase which can be mitigated through good construction practices as documented in the subproject’s initial environmental examination (IEE) report and environmental management plan (EMP). However, the construction/improvement of the sub-project components may cause minor temporary disturbances limited to dust and noise, movement of people, etc. which will be limited to the construction period only, and can easily be mitigated by quick and timely completion of works, taking dust suppression measures, removal of debris regularly, providing alternate roads and access to houses during construction, erecting different road furniture where required, to make the vehicular movement safe and to minimize road accidents. For mitigating noise pollution, brick crushing yards, bituminous hot mix plants and concrete batching plants shall be located sufficiently away from habitation. Workers at the vicinity of strong noise shall wear earplugs.

36. Table-2 summarizes the findings of the data collection, field visits and surveys. If in the course of Sub-Project implementation land will be required and stakeholders are willing to donate any land, donation procedures will follow the RF and to be endorsed by an independent third party evaluator (e.g., civil society and non-ex officio representatives of the TLCC) to ensure there is no significant social and economic impact due to land donation.

VI. MITIGATION OF SOCIAL CONCERNS

56. Although the road and drainage schemes under the Sub-Project of UGIIP-III construction/improvement is not expecting any land acquisition and involuntary resettlement, physical or economic displacement, or temporary restrictions to land use. However, some assumptions were made that during civil works for different schemes, pedestrians, residents and shop keepers/different business operators carrying out different economic activities particularly beside the road; customers might face temporary disturbances in connection to movement and operate their business. In order to avoid even minor temporary disturbances during the construction activities, the following measures are suggested to eliminate such impacts:  Informing all the residents, local households and traders about the nature and duration of works in advance, so that they can make necessary preparation to face the situation.

 Providing wooden walkways/ planks across trenches for pedestrians and metal sheets where vehicles access is required.  Increasing the workforce and using the appropriate equipment to complete the work in a minimum timeframe.  Suggest people to wear musk to protect from dust problem during construction.  Other social concern, if any, shall be properly solved by the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) under the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) of the project to be formed by the PIU.  Any other preventive measures to be adopted as required considering the situation during construction. 57. The above mitigation measures during construction activities will ease the temporary disturbances in connection to movement and operation business of the local residents, pedestrian customers and clients from shopping locally or using the usual services from local business.

VII. CONCLUSIONS

58. Important findings of the study in connection to social safeguard issues are (i) improvement of the roads will be carried out on the existing alignments and will not require land acquisition; (ii) no roads need resettlement, dislocation or relocation. So only08 (eight) strip maps are provided as a sample. (iii) there is no structure, houses, shops, trees or any other establishments on the ROWs of the proposed roads and drains alignments; (iv) the required land for construction work is owned by Magura Pourashava; (vi) the local people unanimously welcomed the project and showed positive attitude to the improvement of the proposed Sub-Project. None was found to oppose the Sub-Project; (vii) urban residents and the rural residents in surrounding hinterland will benefit from improvement of the propose roads for creating better access to urban markets & social services provided in the project town; (viii) no potential negative impact could be identified and (ix) business or economic activities will not be impeded resulting losses in income or asset.

59. A due diligence process was conducted for the Sub-Project to examine the IR issues particularly with respect to the requirements of the ADB’s SPS (2009) and ARIPO. The roads, drains and Street lighting proposed under the Sub-Project will be of straightforward construction on the existing ROWs. So, implementation of the Sub-Project will neither affect any land or structure. Any disturbances will be limited to construction period only. The likely impacts are short-term, localized and could easily be avoided or mitigated. The results of the study suggest that the impact of this Sub-Project does not incur any land acquisition, resettlement or economic displacement.

60. The Project Director (PD) will carry out internal monitoring through the PMU and PIUs with the support of the MDSC. For this Sub-Project, PIU will provide PMU on updates on (i) GRM establishment; (ii) report of public consultations and disclosures conducted; (iv) complaints/grievance received, if any, and resolutions conducted; and (iv) unanticipated IR impacts during Sub-Project implementation not included in this due diligence report.

61. Based on the findings presented in this due diligence report, the Magura Sub-Project Packages will not require land acquisition and will not cause involuntary resettlement impacts. No IP was identified in the Sub-Project area. Thus it has been concluded that the Sub-Project is Category C for IR and Category C for IP as per ADB SPS 2009.
