A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. The project aims to replace temporary bailey bridges and other badly deteriorating bridges on the National Highways in PNG with permanent bridges. The old bailey bridges will be used on Provincial and District roads to provide access to rural areas. The Project covers 27 replacement bridges on five priority National Highways and 22 reusable bridges on provincial, district and local roads connecting rural communities within the corridor of influence of these five priority national highways.
2. The contract package along the Hiritano highway involves the replacement of 2 steel truss bridges and one Bailey bridge. These bridges will be de-launched and located at DOW base camps at Brown River and Bereina. The Central Provincial Government and DOW will discuss and decide on where to re-deploy them within the impacted areas.
3. The replacement of these bridges will require land on which gardens, human settlement exist and the river banks utilized for both social and economic activities such as fishing, sand mining, washing and swimming. DPs will not access these activities when the State acquires 11.4348 hectares of land for the project, thereby displacing 278 persons. Loss of assets will include 28 residential houses, 4 market shelters, 3 trade stores and 17 grave yards. Other economic plants and trees will also be displaced which entitles DPs to receive compensation payments at replacement cost. Total Costs of displacement at replacement cost will amount to Six Hundred and Thirty Seven, Three Hundred and Sixty Five Kina Thirty Toea (K637, 365.30).
4. The number of HHs and DPs identified and recorded in the initial RP (2011) was substantially reduced from 85 HHs to 48 and DPs from 469 to 278 with an average occupation rate of 5 persons per HH. Two of these HHs are headed by two females and in two sites 3 female DPs are entitled to receive compensation for loss of garden crops. Despite the males heading majority of the HHs, females do all the hard work to feed every household. The DPs originate from 4 ethnic groups, mainly from Mekeo (Inaoae tribe), Varagadi tribe (Koiari), Goilala (Goilala District) and the three Highlands Provinces.The initial RP noted Koiari as a clan of the Goilala tribe; however, Koiari is a distinct ethnic group in the Kairuku/Hiri electorate, whereas Goilala tribe is a different ethnic group in the Central Province.
5. In terms of education and health services, the DPs unfortunately lack the drive to send school age children to school, despite good schools nearby. Due to poor water quality and food intake their health status is poor where many people die out of dysentery related diseases before they reach the nearest hospital.
6. All DPs at Brown River and Angabanga bridges relay on subsistence agriculture while those at Laloki relay heavily on cash generated from sand and stone extraction at the Laloki River and from road side sales of store goods. A good number of DPs at Brown River are employed by a Logging company and a Sand and Gravel Company which are operating in their village. The Angabanga DPs rely heavily on their betel nut sales where every DP generates K300 – K500 daily. Cash income from garden produce, coconut, sand and rock sales support their livelihoods.

7. The acquisition of land at Brown River and Angabanga River will significantly affect DPs, mainly of Goilala origin and the Lopia Fa’a clan of Inaoae tribe residing within the bridge alignment and ROW. The Varagadi tribe of Koiari tribe, who are principal customary Land owners agreed to provide land with no cost to the State or the Goilala DPs in order for their Goilala friends to relocate. The Angabanga DPs living within the ROW have also agreed to remove their residential houses and relocate at least 1-5 metres south west of their current location.
8. The following table shows the criteria being applied to determine eligibility to receive an entitlement:

9. Both male and female DPs expressed full support for the construction as they want to have safe access because the bridges are deteriorating. Immediate replacement would be more of greater benefit to DPs including Affected Persons (APs) mainly those who ply the Hiritano Highway between Port Moresby and Kerema in the Gulf Province. An initial MOA has been signed by DPs giving their consent to the State to proceed with project implementation. A total of six contracts of sales between the state and DPs in consideration of physical displacement have been signed to give effect to land acquisition in lieu of cash payment.
10. DOW will commence compensation payment in July Nov-Dec. 2014 based on the LIR and Valuation commissioned by DOW as per Valuation and Contracts of Sales of land between the State and Landowners. Compensation payment will proceed as there are no land disputes between DPs. Resettlement of DPs will take place immediately after the payment by DOW. The DPs expressed their willingness to relocate upon receipt of compensation payments. ADB will be constantly updated on the relocation progress. B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 2 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
11. The Project aims to replace aging and single lane bailey bridges and other badly deteriorated bridges on the National Highways in Papua New Guinea (PNG) with double lane permanent bridges. The old bailey bridges will be dismantled and re-deployed to Provincial and District roads to provide access to rural areas. The Project covers replacement of 27 bridges which include: 17 bailey bridges, two steel truss bridges, three steel plate girder bridges, two log bridges and three cause ways. Twenty two (22) of these bridges are reusable on the five priority National Highways.
12. It is anticipated that improving access for rural communities will have positive impacts in relation to having access to better social and economic services, and therefore improve living standards. Importantly this project should contribute to improved flow of traffic, less traffic congestion at bridge sites, and a safer road transport service.
13. Expected overall outcome is improved and safer access to markets and social services for rural population living along the selected road corridors and expected specific outputs are: (i) Reduced bottlenecks on the National Highways, (ii). Safer journeys for both motorized and non-motorized transport users on the roads, (iii). Improved capacity of the road agencies especially Department of Works (DOW) and National Roads Authority (NRA) to manage bridge assets but also to provide greater levels of accountability and transparency; and (iv) maintenance of the bridges by beneficiary communities”
14. The project is aligned and consistent with the long and medium term national development plans, goals and strategies. One of the targets of the National Governments Strategic Development Plan 2010-2030 is that by 2030 eighty five percentages (85%) of rural communities will have access to better and safer road transportation. This project will contribute towards achieving that target. In addition, it should have positive impact on rural industries such as Mining, Petroleum, Logging, Agro-forestry, Agriculture and other downstream processing projects.
15. The Project is estimated to cost US$100 million and will be funded by an ADB loan of US$90 million comprising a US$50 million ADF loan and US$40 million OCR loan, and counterpart funding of US$10 million from the GoPNG.
16. The Hiritano component of the project will cost around US$21.1m based on detailed engineering design (DED) and current exchange rates. Table 2 provides details of the bridge length, 2011 cost estimate and the current estimated costs:

The universal cost for construction

and implementation of RP therefore will be US$21,378,659.84 (K60,425,578.98).
17. The Existing Steel Truss Bridges (STBs) at Laloki and Brown River are badly deteriorated. These two STBs will be dismantled, transported to and stored at DOW base Camp 300 metres from Brown River towards Port Moresby and 300 metres away from the existing Hiritano Highway. DOW will make a decision in consultation with CPG whether or not to reuse them on provincial or district roads in Central Province.
18. The Bailey bridge at Angabanga will be dismantled, transported to and stored at DOW Base camp at Bereina, 7km from Angabanga Bridge for re-use on one of the feeder road bridges in the Kairuku-Hiri Electorate which is yet to be decided by the Central Provincial Government administration in consultation with DOW.
19. This resettlement plan (RP) relates to this sub-project and the bridge site communities that will be affected and displaced as a result of the construction of the three new bridges.
C. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT
i. Projects Potential Impact
20. The 2011 RP stated that the Project does not require physical displacement of DPs; however, based on the detailed engineering design, the Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) confirmed that the State will acquire 11.4348 hectares of land for bridge alignment and road approach which becomes the ROWs on all three bridge sites. The ROWs land currently accommodates: gardens, plants, houses and other physical structures accommodating women and children who will be physically displaced. The physically displaced people will lose more than 10% of their garden crops and 100% of 30 houses, trade stores, and other physical structures. The DPs at Angabanga and Brown River bridge sites are relatively worse affected than the DPs at Laloki Bridge site.
ii. Scope of Land Acquisition
21. Table 3 shows the extent of land to be acquired as per the Cadastral Survey Plans for Land acquisition (see Appendices III, IV & V) which are located within customary land at Brown River and Angabanga, while Laloki Bridge is located within the state land under Portion numbers: 257, 256, 255, 210, 633, 634, and 137 M/I Granville and is reserved for Agriculture purpose. Two portions of the Land towards Port Moresby side are owned by two Land Lords namely Ms. Annie Panchan and Ms. Imelda Heni Elly. Niure Badia occupies the vacant land for his residence and gardening that supports his livelihood.

Due to space limitations on thistable,the word “Various” isused to denote many plants including vegetables, betel nut, coconut, banana trees, rain trees & other plants, refer to Appendix IX, X & XI.
iii. Effects of Assets Lost
22. Consequently, the number of economic and privately owned residential dwellings, gardens and properties will be foregone. DPs at Laloki River will be deprived of daily income generation from sand mining as their access to the river banks will be denied due to the construction and extension works of the embankment at both downstream and upstream of the river. The Residents physically occupying the ROWs Brown River and Angabanga bridges will be removed and relocated to a new location, approximately within 2-5 metres away from the ROW. Despite the knowledge of loss of accommodation and food gardens including markets and trade stores, the DPs are willing to relocate as long as they are compensated well in lieu of assets lost.
23. Loss of land, vegetables, cash crops and other trees will affect DPs daily food intake and income. Although Angabanga and Brown River people have adequate supply of food for daily consumption, the Laloki households will suffer significantly, as most depend heavily on income from sand hauling which are quite high relative to other income sources.
24. There are four mini markets located near the three bridge sites that enable APs to sell their local produce, mainly betel nut and vegetables to generate cash income. These are in the ROWs and will be removed during the bridge construction. DPS who own these market stalls will be paid to relocate to new market sites during the course of construction as these are vital economic establishments that sustain livelihoods.
iv. Common Property Resources 25. The river banks at Laloki are extensively used for sand extraction using manual tools such as spades and shovel to fill out bags to supply to the National Capital District city residents. While sand is regarded as commonly accessed, other common properties within that site are not easily recognizable. In the Brown River and Angabanga bridge sites, fish has been generally mentioned as a common property but whether or not actual fishing occurs has not been clearly revealed.
D. SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 5 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
i. Demographic features of affected peoples
26. Users of the Hiritano Highway are mainly the indigenous people of the Kairuku-Hiri and Goilala Districts of the Central and the Gulf Provinces. The 2011 national census estimates that the Gulf Province has a population of 158, 197. The Hiri-Kairuku District and Goilala Districts have a population of 121, 580 and 36,092 respectively. The 278 DPs of the sub-project sites are the regular pedestrian users of the bridges. Of course not everyone uses the road but most of the population from the villages East of Kerema and the villagers in the Kairuku-Hiri districts are regular users of the road for transportation of passengers and goods. The Goilala ethnic groups are also regular users of the road.
27. It has been identified that a total of 48 households housing 278 persons with an average household size of 5.8 heads will be displaced. The number of persons per household ranges from a high of 5-7 at the Angabanga bridge site to 4 at the Laloki bridge site. It is however not an uncommon practice for households of 14-16 persons in the Central Province. The Hiritano Highway area has the following demographic composition:
. 20 years and under - 58.7 % . 21 – 40 years - 33.0 % . > above 40 years - 8.3 %
28. It is obvious from the above data that more than half the population are young people. It was noted from recent statistic that female population along the Hiritano Highway are slightly lower. This demographic composition is said to be attributed to marriages at very young age. The general practice among the communities in the Central province is that girls get married as early as 17 years. It also became evident that most girls marry before they complete Grade 10 & 12.
29. Education level in the affected region is quite poor compared to other areas despite an enrolment rate of 61.71%. Completion rates are quite poor as well with 45.65% completing Grade 6; 15.2% completing Grade 10, 6.5% completing Grade 12, and only 2.3% completing a University degree. It was sad to realise that attaining higher levels of education is not the desire of households at the bridge sites hence the low rates of university graduates. This is attributed and constrained mainly by social structures of the clans and beliefs that all should be equal and subservient to the elders.
30. Most households’ heads of persons to be displaced are men except in three households, where two (2) at Laloki and one (1) at Angabanga whose husbands have been deceased. Six female DPs, three at the Laloki bridge site and three at the Angabanga bridge site, will have their gardens destroyed. They are entitled to receiving replacement costs as compensation payments. Female population were noted to be hard workers than their male folks. All females ranging from children to adults make it their customary business to work hard to provide food on the table for the whole family. This is one of the factors that attributes to poor education on female folks in the sub-project region.
31. The HH membership is usually comprised of extended members from both paternal
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 6 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
and maternal kinship. Distant relatives visit them from time to time but do not reside permanently, although at Laloki it was noted that among the Highland settlers, there are some distant relatives living with HHs for over two years. There is one Highlander who married the sister of the village Chief and was given permission to settle near the bridge at Brown River in a permanent house.
32. The occupants of the sub-project bridge sites are from three distinct ethnic groups in Central province; namely: Goilala from Goilala District, Koiari from Hiri, and Lopia Fa’a from Mekeo. Other migrants are from 3 Highlands provinces. Laloki bridge site is vacant state land being occupied by settlers, mainly from the Koiari, Goilala and the Highlands Provinces. Majority of the DPs at Brown River are from Goilala who have settled right at the Northern end of the bridge and also within the 20 metre right-off way. There is a mixture of ethnic groups occupying the Angabanga Bridge, mainly migrants from Yule Island and the original Lopia Fa’a clan of the Inaoae Tribe in the Mekeo Region.
ii. Impacts of Land & Assets Acquisition on affected peoples
33. Income: DPs at the three bridge sites generate cash income from a variety of sources, primarily from: sale of garden foods, betel nuts, sand mining, trade stores, PMVs, remittance from relatives who work in formal jobs in urban centres, and royalties which is further elaborated below:
The Laloki settlers depend mainly on hauling sand, builders mix, and rocks using manual tools such as spades, shovels, wheel barrows and empty rice bags. Each person earns at least K500 a day during good weather and supply to the ever increasing building construction market in the National Capital District. There is a growing market as a result of the demand from construction firms which is sufficient to sustain their livelihoods. The negative impact is that DPs will not be able to generate similar levels of income during construction period because the access road to sand and gravel digging sites will be blocked off by 55 metres downstream and 48 metres upstream embankments. Income from vegetable sales is minimal compared to sand mining and moreover the very small market establishment will need to be relocated. It should be noted that two HHs towards Port Moresby side will also need to be relocated because they are on the ROW boundary.
The DPs at Brown River generate revenue through a number of business and subsistence activities. The Goilala settlers depend mainly on vegetables sales and scone baking activities on the road side, while actual traditional owners (Koiari’s) primary source of revenue is from: a) vegetable sales at the road side markets and at Gordens Market in the National Capital District, b) from a logging operations by a company called Unicom Timbers, and; c) from a Quarry operations by company called ‘Central Sand and Gravel’. The Sand and Gravel Company pay them monthly royalties of K5, 000 depending on their cash turnover. The 6 Directors of the Company earn up to K2,000.00 a fortnight. These earnings will not be affected by the bridge construction. Revenue from Land acquisition and crop payments including contract work on site will be an added bonus and have a positive impact in their level of cash income.
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 7 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
The DPs at Angabanga Bridge rely on betel nut sales as their main source of income and are currently severely affected by the recent betel nut ban in Port Moresby. Prior to the ban the individual DPs earned on average K450 per day. Other sources of income are from sales of coconut, vegetables, banana and remittance (cash handouts) from friends and relatives working in Port Moresby and other parts of PNG. These sources of income will be affected.
34. Annual income per head ranges from K3,368. 62 at Laloki to K2,974. 00 at Angabanga to K1,805.31 at Brown River. These annual income levels per year are relatively higher compared to other villages throughout PNG. The sub-project will also inject a substantially higher amount of income through wages, purchase of goods at local markets, temporary land rentals and sub contracts.
35. Benefits for Land acquisition are expected to be paid to the clans through the clan leaders. The village leaders from Brown River and Angabanga bridges confirmed their desire of having land acquisition monies paid directly to them so that they would be responsible for distribution. The Paramount Chiefs as well as members of the clans expressed their views with no uncertain terms that they want DOW to pay DPs directly instead of the common practice of making payment through Central Provincial Administration as they have experienced some bad practices by officers from the Central Provincial Administration, A case in example was a K65,000. 00 payment earmarked for river training expenses was distributed to unknown recipients. They do not wish for the same practice to be repeated.
36. Compensation payments to individuals with garden plots and cash crops will be paid directly to owners as provided in the list in (Appendix VI, VII & VIII). A separate MOA will be signed to formalize the consent by the DPs to forego improvements and relocate as agreed and to undertake not to make further demand from the state for compensation payments in the future. These compensation payments are considered as benefits in lieu of foregoing their assets to pave way for the construction of the three bridges.
37. DPs will receive compensation for Land purchase as per the Contract of Sales executed between the State and Landowners (see Appendices XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI & XVII) and Improvements (crops, planted and natural trees, physical structures, i.e., houses, trade stores, markets, grave yards, and kitchen houses) (see Appendices VI,VII & VIII).
38. Land Ownership: Landownership rights in the sub-project region are usually transferred from generation to generation through the patrilineal lineage system. Through time and age, that ownership is transferred through the legal process or customary process. The legal process is termed Crown Land or State Land, while the customary transfer is by mutual understanding, and it can be for “permanent use” or for “user rights” as described below: Laloki bridge site is owned by the State. The Southern part of Laloki bridge site towards Port Moresby was alienated by the State during the colonial period and it was apportioned into portions. The Northern side of the bridge towards Brown River was purchased from the customary owners in 1991. The Six HHs settled in each of the State Portions of land is considered caretakers, without having proper
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 8 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
legal land titles. Only two are considered legal owners as they have leases over two portions towards Port Moresby. One person claims to have full ownership over the entire vacant area and he insists that he is entitled to receiving benefits. LIR has confirmed that he is due for receiving because of the many generations of occupation on the land. In the initial stage it was reported that no one will be paid for land ownership, but further investigations revealed that there are legal owners and persons with default user rights and therefore this report recommends that based on humanitarian grounds, one Niure Badia be paid together with Annie Panchan and Ilmelda Heni Elly.
Brown River bridge site is owned and occupied by Vagaradi O’oro number 1 & 2 clans of Koiari Tribe. Part of their land is occupied by settlers from the Goilala region and they have been given “user rights” to settle right next to the road at the Northern part of the bridge. Goilalas are not eligible to receive part or whole of the Land purchase monies.
Angabanga Bridge is owned exclusively by Lopia Fa’a clan members of the Inaoae Tribe. The Yule Island migrants (Iso Clan members) initially disputed the traditional owners on the ownership of Angabanga bridge site in 2013, where they went to the extent of securing a “temporary restraining order” dated 28 August, 2013. This dispute was quashed by the Bereina District Lands Court in recognition of Lopia Fa’a clan as legitimate land owners. The Iso clan has “user rights”. The list of DPs on each bridge site are listed and attached as (Appendix XVIII)
39. Livestock: DPs at Angabanga and Brown River own between 2 to 4 pigs. Other than pigs, there have been no visible signs of cattle grazing, goats or sheep farming. There was however stories of one household venturing in to chicken broilers at Angabanga which was not sustainable and therefore ceased to continue farming.
40. Common Property Resources: Laloki bridge settlers consider sand and gravel produced by the Laloki River as common properties, while the Brown River and Angabanga people consider fish as their common properties. The rain trees and fish in the Brown River area are also considered as common properties. In the areas around Angabanga Bridge betel nut trees is primarily the most common property apart from Coconut although ownership remains with individuals. Fishing is a common property but considered risky given allegations of river pollutions by mining waste presumably caused by Tolukuma Gold Mines and the continuous flooding of the Angabanga Bridge.
41. Estimated total expenditure: The annual income described in paragraph 33 and 34 has not translated into improving living standards but are said to be spent on less important goods. From the interviews it was noted that about 70% of total annual income is spent on processed goods, 10% on alcohol, 10% on school fees and clothes and 10% on cultural and religious commitments. As a result of their cultural believes, the concepts of saving or using such revenue to venture into businesses or building permanent houses are not considered. Their existence is to make money now and spent on consumables all at ones without savings for future use. This practice is exacerbated by their customary believes that any endeavour to construct a permanent house or buying a PMV truck would lead to death of the principle
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 9 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
owner. Everyone in the villages must settle and remain as equal apart from their paramount chief.
42. Occupational Structure: Most DP households are engaged in subsistence agriculture, primarily from their garden patches to provide for their daily food consumptions. Commercial agriculture, especially rubber, coconut and cocoa are not evident in the affected villages. Small-scale subsistence farming in banana, coconut, and vegetables are mainly for HH consumption with surplus production sold at mini markets for cash. Betel nut farming appears to be a major farming activity in the Angabanga area. DPs at Laloki are predominantly engaged in sand mining while some members of the same HH are involved in other income generating activities like selling betel nuts. These income earning opportunities are considered more profitable than working as a fulltime construction worker. There are however about 16.5% of the total population (both male & female) from Brown River and Angabanga project sites have fulltime occupations either in the private or public sector in urban centres throughout PNG. DPs are quite excited that they believe this project will provide windows of opportunity for paid jobs and increased demand for market produce. The Logging operation at Brown River and the Central Sand Supplier that operates the Quarry provide casual employment opportunities for local youths. It was noted that none of the DPs are involved in artisan or handicraft production, arguing demand only exists for handicrafts produced in the Highlands, Sepik regions or Milne Bay Province.
43. Operating trade stores and PMVs are business ventures pursued by some DPs. Two DPs, one from Brown River and another from Angabanga own and operate Public Motor Vehicles (PMVs) which serves the Bereina to Port Moresby travelling public. The PMVs provide regular income for the drivers and crew members and of course the owners of the PMVs. One DP stocked up a trade store recently but lost all the goods to rodents and was forced to discontinue the business.
44. Access to Public Services: Health care amenities, though not up to standard, are within their reach. Angabanga DPs have access to two Health Centres, one at Bereina and the other at Veifa. Both are run by the Catholic Church at Bereina. The Brown River DPs have access to the Kuriva, Laloki and Port Moresby Health facilities. Laloki DPs are regarded as City dwellers and in effect access services provided in the City. Rural Health Centres named above provide services for immunization, awareness on communicable diseases and HIV/AIDs. These rural health centres also provide treatments for Malaria, cough, water borne diseases such as diarrhoea and dysentery and associated skin diseases. Cases of Typhoid, TB and other chronic deceases are normally referred to Port Moresby General Hospital.
45. Water borne diseases and deaths are prevalent at the Angabanga and Brown River bridge sites due to unboiled drinking waters. Water extracted from the rivers is generally not boiled. DPs reported that the highest rate of death is caused by water-borne deceases like diarrhoea and dysentery due to drinking dirty water, followed by Malaria, Typhoid and TB. Laloki APs obtain water from the City’s reticulated water system and therefore do not have water problems.
46. Educational facilities from elementary to lower secondary level are within walking distance from the villages. Laloki APs access City Schools while Brown River Children attend
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 10 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
St. Margaret Catholic Primary School and children at Angabanga attend Bereina Primary School and St. Michaels’ Elementary in the village. Grade 9 students are sent to Secondary Schools in the Central Province including the Bereina Secondary School. While educational facilities are within proximity of DP households, children at the Angabanga bridge sites and surrounding villages do not attend classes as the children are required to farm and climb betel nut trees to harvest nuts for sale. This was particularly evident especially among the Inaoae Tribe.
47. Access to micro-finance is only available in Port Moresby making it relatively difficult for DPs to access let alone the stringent collateral requirements of the banks1. Agricultural extension services has not been provided for years although there is a Community Development Officer based in Bereina who said due to funding constraints such extension services cannot be provided.
iii. Projects Impacts on poor, Different Ethnic groups, and other vulnerable groups
48. Poverty is a relativity term and a monetary definition, therefore does not really apply in a rural setting. Given the strong culture of extended families caring for each other, it is difficult to define and label one as being poor at present. What is possible however in the medium term is to use present data and living standards of the DPs as the base point to measure increments of attainment such as annual incomes, increased value of assets and improved health and education conditions of the DPs pre-commencement of the project and post completion of the project. And maybe then poverty will be more obvious than at present time.
49. There are a few migrants from other ethnic groups living with the DPs who are very much likely to benefit from the positive impacts of the bridge program. For example; at Laloki the settlers (Goilala) and Highlands DPs will be paid compensation for crop displacement and payment for denying their right to access the river to haul sand. In the Brown River another group of Goilala DPs will be displaced from their houses as they are located right on the ROW. They are eligible to benefit in terms of receiving replacement costs to relocate. The Paramount Chief of Lopia Fa’a clan will decide whether or not to distribute parts of the Land compensation payments with the migrants from Yule Island. He has a prerogative because in the custom, the Paramount Chief is the ultimate and supreme authority to decide on such matters. This rule of hierarchy is highly accepted and respected by all APs in the area.
50. Similar to the poor persons, the vulnerable groups could not be easily identified. It is quite normal for the DPs to cater for persons with disabilities, the elderly, the widows, and the sick. Again the extended family culture diminishes traits of vulnerability. When asked about vulnerability and desegregation of persons living with HIV/AIDs, the informants were reluctant to expose any such stories except in expressing that persons living with HIV/AIDS reside in Port Moresby, not at the villages impacted by the project. However, women DPs can be classified as vulnerable groups who may be subjected to abuse by contract workers when construction commences but presently they are well protected. The project may need to offer special incentives to women such as job opportunities and scholarships for girls.
1 Banks do not accept land at villages as collaterals for micro-financing
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 11 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
iv. Gender & Resettlement Impacts
51. Woman DPs when asked about the management and handling of large amount of cash during the payment of compensation for land and crops forfeited for the construction of the bridges, openly expressed their views that management and distribution of income from any source are responsibilities of men. They expressed that although they would like their voices heard in the decisions to be made, they would remain silent out of respect for their custom, and to avoid family conflicts.
52. Being paternalistic societies, decisions relating to family and village welfare are determined by men and passed on to women and children. It is the view of male DPs that employment of casual workers be restricted to men however, it should not prevent the contractor from employing women. Women are equally capable of doing any job whether it be lifting metals, timbers, stone piling, digging using spades, cooking, washing or security guards, or any other job because the SIS survey noted that women in all of Central Province work harder than their male counterparts. Men are generally perceived as boastful and lazy. Women DPs pointed out that if men folks work hard on their land, all arable land would be cultivated.
53. The possibilities and incidents of family violence, marital problems, promiscuity and alcohol related problems are inevitable and cannot be ruled out, as these have been observed in many other similar projects in PNG. Continuous awareness on the effects and impacts of these incidences including HIV/AIDs will contribute to mitigating these social and health problems. Whilst it may be difficult to control these social disorders, preventative and precautionary measures will be taken to cater for and attend to these social misconducts. Where incidents relates to a contract worker and a member or members of the local community, the Community Liaison officer (CRO) will facilitate meetings to ensure amicable resolutions are reached and there is minimum disruption to construction work.
E. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION
i. Project Stakeholders
54. Primary project stakeholders are the Landowners who own and occupy the three bridge sites. The nearby clans of the same tribe(s) are not regarded as party to this group although they are members of the broader community in which they share common believes and values and partake in social events such as cultural shows, church gatherings, and land matters.
55. Secondary stakeholders are neighbouring clans, commuters from Goilala, Koiari, Kairuku/Hiri and the Gulf Province, respective local and provincial Governments. The bridges after construction will have many secondary stakeholders, especially PMV owners, business houses and commuters. With assistance from the World Bank, sections of the highway have been upgraded and sealed but the bridges have remained unchanged. Table 4: List of ethnic Stakeholders at bridgesites

ii. Consultation & Participation Mechanisms
56. Meetings with individuals and group consultations were the main mechanisms used for consultation. Several meetings were convened with the DPs at various locations to discuss the likely impacts of Land acquisition and forfeiture of personal and community assets such as gardens where food crops, betel nut and coconut trees and cultural establishments are located. Consultations commenced July, 2013 – April 27, 2014. A meeting was also held with the Kairuku Hiri District Administrator at the DOW office to discuss management of issues.
57. Additional meetings were held with the Bereina District Administration Officers at Bereina district office. CPG Lands Officer and Surveyor were invited to meetings at DOW office and engaged to assist in mapping out each bridge site and to do Land Investigation Report (LIR). The District management expressed their utmost desire to assist the contractor to ensure there is no lost time during implementation.
iii. Activities undertaken to disseminate Project Information and Resettlement Information
58. Disclosure of information of the project, the construction of the bridges and its implications including loss of land and assets commenced in March 2013. All stakeholders were aware of the replacement of bridges and the need to forego land and gardens (assets). Information was disseminated during the PPTA and during the DMS and SIS consultations, DPs were fully informed of the project and its implications.
59. Details of these meeting dates and times are listed hereunder in Table 5:

Every DP was informed about the need to acquire land and pay compensation for all assets at replacement cost.
iv. Results of Consultations with affected people
60. The Primary stakeholders acknowledged the State’s right to build roads and bridges for the good and interest of the Public. There was overwhelming support with little objection to the loss of assets and resettlement. Following are some of the remarks from the DPs at some of the meetings.
That all Land compensation payments be made to clan leaders. The Leaders will then discuss with respective beneficiaries and decide whether to distribute evenly, equitably or invest in small and sustainable businesses. That all crop payments be made direct to owners of garden plots.
That DOW should handle all cash payments instead of Central Provincial Lands or Provincial Works due to: mismanagement, demand for commissions, travelling allowances, or delaying payments. Any deposits into District office for disbursement to DPs will be a complete disaster. All third parties should be eliminated to ensure transparency in cash distribution.
Well qualified welders, stone wall builders, carpenters, plumbers, drivers, cooks, cleaners and all other trades are available in each village. They asked DOW to direct all contractors to consider employing local labour (both male and females) instead of recruiting from other places.
Access to clean water supply was a major concern raised by all the DPs. The provincial and national governments have not provided any assistance over the years and with the population increase in the area, there has been increased demand for clean and safe drinking water. DPs were advised that the DOW in collaboration with
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 14 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
the LLG would facilitate the possibility of the contactor providing assistance in this regard.
Women expressed their desire to participate in the bridge construction as workers along-side their male counter parts. They were advised that the contractors will be obligated to ensure that special considerations be given to women DPs for employment opportunities.
DPs have been managing the issue on HIV/AIDS at the village level and they said it’s not a major issue of concern, however, the State expects the Contractor to have a contingency plan to carry-out awareness campaigns through community meetings, delivery of pamphlets, posters and erect bill boards and issue condoms on site.
Kairuku-Hiri District Administration was particularly impressed with the briefing and pledged their support during construction phase. The District Management also expressed their desire to decide on the use of old bridges because they know the priority areas under their district infrastructure plan. DOW and District Management need to discuss this matter further to reach some compromise.
v. Disclosure of the Resettlement plan
61. Initial information about the project, its negative and positive impacts including displacement and resettlement were verbally relayed to the District Administration. They were also engaged in the detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) which enabled them to know the exact parcel of land that would be acquired, and subsequently the loss of gardens and garden crops and other trees of economic value.
62. Relevant information contained in this report has been disclosed to key persons at each site, especially where it relates to land acquisition, crop and vegetation damage, payment schedules, and beneficiaries; and strategies involved in providing equal job opportunities for all gender groups.
63. The Community Liaison officer (CLO) will advise DPs of additional land acquisitions for the contractor’s site camp office, accommodation and water source. In consultation with the DOW, the CLO will from time to time inform DPs through brochures and leaflets of progress of the project.
64. Communication with DPs was less of an issue as nearly all DPs speak and understand English and pidgin. For the Motu speakers, fortunately there were pidgin speakers who were able to interpret to the Motu speakers. The Official languages for this particular component of the project should be English and pidgin.
vi. Planned information disclosure measures during project implementation
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 15 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
65. Maintaining regular flow of information on progress status of the project and issues on a regular basis will mitigate disruptions and enable smooth progress. Mechanisms that will be employed will include newsletters, leaflets, radio announcements, and periodic consultations with DPs. DOW will endeavour to disclose all necessary information to all stakeholders through mandatory progress reports.
F. GRIEVANCES REDRESS MECHANISM
66. With regards to Land Disputes, the Central Province DOW will establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and address project related concerns and to resolve land related concerns that may arise during project implementation. DPs will be informed by DOW on how they can access to the grievance redress mechanism. Other than disputes relating to landownership rights are legally contestable in a court of law as per the Land Disputes Settlement Act 2000, it is anticipated that most grievances will be resolved through traditional mediation process.
67. The Project in collaboration with the Central Province Lands Officer, who may be assisted by the District Lands Officers, will institute a process to resolve disputes and grievances based on the accepted procedures of mediation. As required the participation of the appointed and traditional leaders will be facilitated to achieve a satisfactory resolution of issues at the local level.
68. In general it is anticipated that customary mediation will yield satisfactory results although in accordance with the Gender Plan prepared for this project, every attempt will be made to ensure that women DPs, irrespective of traditional constraints, will be included and not excluded from the mediation processes outlined here. However, it also needs to be noted that this process varies from clan to clan including those DPs at the three bridge sites included in this RP.
69. DPs can also lodge a complaint with the PIU in Port Moresby. Although the DPs on each bridge site are closer to Port Moresby, they are at liberty to lodge such complaints with the Project Safeguards Staff and Project Supervision Consultants who will also assist in registering their complaints with the PIU. This will include assisting aggrieved DPs to prepare their specific grievances and the PIU Project Manager will consider the complaint and within 15 working days convey a decision to the DPs. The Safeguards Staff as well as Local Government Officials will assist at the Project Manager in reviewing and addressing the complaint. The Safeguards Team will also facilitate communication between the DPs and PIU in this process. If the DPs are not satisfied with the decision, they may then take the grievance to the PNG Judicial system.
70. If the grievance is to be taken to the PNG judicial system as per the Land Disputes Settlement Act 2000, the following three steps in the dispute resolution are part of this process:
(a) Local Lands Court (LLC): The case is heard before the Local Court Magistrate for determination. If the litigants are not successful, they may appeal to a higher court.
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 16 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
(c) District Lands Court (DLC): The case is heard before a District Land Court Magistrate. If the litigants are not successful, they may appear to a higher court.
(d) Provincial Lands Court (PLC): The case is presided by a Provincial Land Court whose decision is final.
71. It needs to be noted that if recourse to the PNG judicial system is necessary because of the failure of other means of grievance redress and the courts at any stage find in favour of the litigants all costs associated with this form of dispute resolution will need to be paid by the Project. Therefore this process should only always be used as a very last resort.
72. In the event that grievances that cannot be resolved through legal redress, the DOW and DLO will hold the compensation amounts in escrow. Compensation will be paid in full upon final resolution of the case through other means of mediation for an agreed upon amount by the aggrieved parties (DPs) in accordance with the entitlements of the affected persons.
73. Grievances with regards to wages, employment opportunities, sub-contracts, and social issues caused by construction workers will be dealt with at the sub-project level. Any issue of criminal nature will be referred to Police. The Contractor will deal with such grievances on site because they have an obligation to address community issues. Usually, DPs would want to refer grievances through DOW if they are not satisfied with response from the Contractor. Should such occur, DOW will intervene to mediate and resolve such disputes. Based on the nature and severity of the case, DOW has the power to direct the contractor to resolve disputes to ensure construction is completed unhindered.
G. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
i. National & Local Laws & ADB Policy requirements
74. The policy framework and resettlement entitlements are based on the laws and regulations of the GoPNG and ADB’s Safeguard policy. Appropriate PNG Laws include: (a) the 1996 Lands Act, and (b) the 2000 Land Dispute Settlement Act. The Resettlement Framework for the project provides description of the relevant laws. Relevant ADB policies include the 2009 Safeguard Policy Statement and the 1998 Gender and Development Policy”.
75. The GoPNG does not have any specific resettlement policies at the National, Provincial or local level for relocating and resettling people which would apply to the DPs being relocated. PNG however does have relating to acquisition of land and assets by the state for public purposes (eminent domain), and related legal procedures, compensation payable, and the legally defined procedures for receiving and facilitating the resolution of affected persons’ concerns and grievances are all incorporated in the Land Act of 1996.
76. Apart from Laloki Bridge site being owned by the State, Angabanga and Brown River land and properties are on customary land tenure for which this Land Act has processes that
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 17 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
address the issue of customary land to be used for development purposes. The Act covers customary land rights, which includes land owned, used or occupied by a person or community in accordance with current customary usage. Access to land and resources in embedded in social relationships and expressed as customary land rights to utilise resources. Small clan based groups live in the villages, managing their own resources, and exercising their rights to utilise them. These groups (clans which are composed of sub-clans, lineage groups, and at the lowest level extended households) are typically made of “primary right holders” – the leaders of the group – who collectively have the authority to allocate user rights through their spokesperson. The rest of the lineage typically possesses “secondary right”. Such rights maybe inherited or gained through marriage to a primary rights holder and are strongly influenced by forms of matrilineal descent.
77. ADB 2009 SPS includes the following policy principles of relevance to a project of this nature that does not involve the physical displacement of affected persons but rather the need to relocate some physical structures, and secure suitable replacement land for gardening based activities, which inter alia will also apply to the sub-project along the Hiritano Highway:
(i) Screen the Project early on to identify past, present and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. (ii) Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned non-governmental organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of the vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, landless, elderly, women and children, and indigenous peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. (iii) Improve or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (a) land based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods; (b) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value; (c) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored; and, (d) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible. (iv) Provide physically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following (relevant to the subprojects in the Hiritano Highway): (a) secure land use tenure on land identified for new garden sites and (b) if necessary transitional support and development assistance such as land development, credit facilities, training or employment opportunities. (v) Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards and provide access to land and other resources that is both legal and affordable. (vi) Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlement will maintain the same or better income and
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 18 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
livelihood status. (vii) Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation of loss of non- land assets. (viii) Prepare a draft resettlement plan and disclose a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time bound implementation schedule. (ix) Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement and implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation. (x) Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and results of resettlement monitoring and disclose these monitoring results.
78. The ADB 2009 SPS also states that where there are indigenous peoples; their identity, dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, and cultural uniqueness must be safeguarded so they can receive culturally appropriate social and economic benefits. However, not all people living along the New Britain highway (NBH) are indigenous to the region having originated from other regions of PNG, while indigenous peoples’ development issues might not seem relevant in the PNG context of this contract package involving the NBH corridor. However, as the SES to date demonstrates it is the rights of DPs indigenous to the villages of this corridor whose right to access to land needs to be safeguarded.
79. The other policy of relevance to this project is the ADBs 2003 Policy on Gender and Development, which requires that all ADB financed projects ensure where possible and practicable special design features and strategies will be built into projects to facilitate and encourage women’s involvement and ensure tangible benefits for women.
80. There are some gaps between GoPNG policies and procedures and those of the ADB. The main gaps relate to: (i) carryout meaningful consultations that also ensure people living below poverty line, landless, elderly, women and children are consulted; (ii) requirement to improve or at least restore livelihoods of all displaced persons by ensuring all displacement costs of assets lost is paid; (iii) provision of economically displaced persons with necessary assistance to improve upon or restore their existing livelihoods at least to national minimum standards of living; (iv) ensuring that displaced persons without recognizable rights to land are eligible for compensation for loss of non-land assets; and, (v) monitoring and assessment of resettlement outcomes.

ii. Resettlement Policy Principles for the Project
82. DOW as the EA has prepared this RP and hereby unequivocally states that it will abide by national and local laws applicable to resettlement and the policy requirements of the ADB. Specifically DOW states that it will ensure affected landowners are paid fair compensation for land and other productive assets acquired at agreed upon replacement cost; and be responsive to grievance processes; and act in an accountable and transparent manner; and will ensure that women will also be entitled to benefit during the resettlement processes. The principles on land acquisition, compensation and resettlement that DOW will commit itself to in the Central Province include:
a) Land acquisition and resettlement has been minimized through careful detailed engineering design but in accordance with GoPNG policy where, a 40 meter ROW is required. In the case of Hiritano Highway a total of 30 HHs, 3 trade stores (2 with houses), 4 markets, 17 grave yards, including crops and trees will be displaced. The displacement is considered necessary as the DPs reside or have gardens right on the middle of the ROWs because safety of the DPs could not be compromised by adopting some form of engineering design to avoid resettlement.
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 20 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
b) DPs were consulted during the inception stage of the project through to the completion of RP and will continue to be consulted during project implementation stage. This RP was updated with full participation of the DPs. Effective mechanisms will be established for hearing and resolving grievances.
c) DPs will receive compensation at replacement cost for their loss of productive assets and this should ensure they will be as well off if not better off than if the Project did not proceed.
d) All compensation will be fully paid to DPs prior to the commencement of site clearance at each of the three bridge sites.
e) Absence of formal title is not a bar to compensation and assistance and particular attention will be paid to women and other vulnerable people.
f) Land acquisition and the relocation of market structures will be conceived as part of the Project and costs related to these forms of involuntary resettlement will be included in and financed out of the Project cost as part of the GoPNG contribution to the Project as cost.
g) The impacts of these three sub-project bridges, including unforeseen losses and damages that may occur during either bridge construction or realignment of the approaches to these three bridges will be carefully monitored and remedial steps taken as required.
iii. Principles and Methodologies for Determining Valuations and Compensation Rates
83. DPs co-operated with DOW in identifying land boundaries, land for acquisition and physically quantified their productive assets list for forfeiture and its estimated cost. A fair market value was determined by DOW using the DPs estimates, and the 2013 Valuer Generals price Schedule, the general market and price trend in property development along the project road corridor, as well as the following information:
Information about recent land transactions; Land value by types; Cropping patterns and crop production; and, Availability of land in the sub-project areas.
84. It was anticipated that there would be some disputes but recent consultations and assessment indicated that disputes were very minor and have been resolved. DOW is obliged by law to accept the Valuer-General’s assessment and this has already been conveyed to affected landowners and land-users at each of the three bridge sites.
iv. Description of Land Acquisition Process
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 21 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
85. Based on the 1996 Land Act the DOW has applied the following procedures when acquiring at least a 40 meter right-of-way at the three bridge sites:
DOW in consultation with Central Provincial Administration engaged surveyors and Lands Specialists to determine boundaries, location, size and area of the land to be acquired in accordance with the detailed design of each of these three bridge sites. Surveyor-General’s office was requested to vet, approve and register the surveys, which have already been approved, signed and registered.
DOW had requested the Department of Lands and Physical Planning (DLPP) and Office of Provincial Administration (OPA) in the Central Province to do the investigation for land acquisition.
The Central Province Lands Officer was asked to conduct the land investigation and prepare a Land Investigation Report (LIR) including ownership, genealogy, rights and interests held in the land, and, estimated value of improvements to land in consultation with the landowners and Kairuku/Hiri District Lands Officer and other relevant government offices.
The Survey Plan and LIR were then submitted to the OPA in Central Province for his recommendation for the surveyed land to be purchased. The OPA will prepare a certificate of alienability confirming that there is no impediment to land acquisition.
The LIR was sent to the DOLPP for approval of the land and improvements that includes physical structures, garden crops, food trees, and other trees. The Valuer- General vetted the valuation based on the 2013 Valuer Generals Price Schedule.
DOW will receive the valuation report and certificate of alienability, raises checks and prepares purchase documents. DOW will use the signed documents and checks for execution and payment to landowners, because DPs have insisted that DOW must handle the payments to avoid fraudulent activities.
The DOW, in consultation with Central Province Land Office will make the offer to the landowners. The forms are executed and money is handed over in accordance with the requirements of the landowners. If rejected, it then goes to the Minister of Lands for a negotiated settlement.
86. The DOW acknowledges that where land has been acquired for roads in areas such as the Highlands region there have been many problems that have delayed project implementation but on the Hiritano Highway it does not envisage problems of such magnitude.
H. Entitlements, Assistance and Benefits
i. Displaced Person’s Entitlements and Eligibility
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 22 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
87. Detailed identification of DPs, assessment and valuation of affected assets and negotiations for land acquisition at the three bridge sites has been completed. Completion was successful following consistent and effective dialogue between DOW and DPs since 2013 through participatory meetings. The Cadastral survey and LIR was done in coordination with the District Land Officers (DLOs) to collect relevant information. The date of signing of the land investigation report by the DLOs will be the “cut-off” date for eligibility for compensation and any rehabilitation assistance. The following are the procedures summarizing eligibility for compensation and other assistance to DPs:
Landowners and land users that have either documented claims to the affected land or are able to demonstrate that this land belongs to them to the satisfaction of the DOW as with the crops, cassava crops, yam plants, banana plants, coconut trees, betel nut plants, sand miners, and the properties at each Bridge site as of the cut-off date which is May 2014 will be eligible for compensation and/or rehabilitation assistance as per this RP.
Any person or group that occupies or uses the land identified for the Project after the cut- off date will not be eligible for any compensation and/or assistance. They will be required to move from the land as per the provisions of the Land Act.
Landowners and land users who have satisfied the DOW that they either have documented claims to the affected land and/or other productive assets or through the DOW investigation can demonstrate that they are the rightful owners or users, will receive compensation for land acquired by the Project. Those DPs who cannot satisfy the DOW that they are the rightful users but are using the land anyway will receive compensation for productive assets attached to the land and other assistance as required.
88. Eligibility and entitlement for compensation and other assistance is summarized in the following Entitlement Matrix:
Table 7: Summary of Eligibility and Entitlement CriteriaMatrixforDPs.

ii. Assistance to Vulnerable Groups
90. The SES undertaken for this RP indicates that there are 33 households that are
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 24 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
significantly affected that can be classified as vulnerable as they are displaced from their current shelters of residence; therefore it is only with careful and focused interventions that these households quantified below can become worse off than they are at present. DOW expects the successful bidder to compulsorily undertake to employ at least one to two members from each HH depending on the population per HH on construction related activities on a full-time basis. iii. Opportunities for Affected Persons to Derive Appropriate Development Benefits
91. There are a number of both quantifiable and non-quantifiable development benefits APs will be able to leverage as a result of this Project. Benefits include:
Employment opportunities can be afforded to APs by the contractors that not only ensure a stable waged income over two years but an opportunity to acquire non- agricultural skills without having to leave the local community. Women will be offered the same types of employment-based opportunities as men and of equal importance will be able to actively participate alongside men in other resettlement-based activities thereby also having an indirect impact upon the patrilineal structures of male domination in traditional PNG society. Social risks associated with HIV/AIDS and other STIs will be mitigated to some extent by employing as many people on bridge construction activities locally as possible and awareness and prevention programs designed to empower women. There will be opportunities to provide a range of goods and services to outside bridge construction workers that will enhance the local economy because such workers will generally have greater purchasing power than local villagers. Improvements to overall bridge design, including pedestrian walkways, and changes to bridge approach alignments geared to improve road safety standards and render NMT users’ safer than hitherto has been possible. The opportunity to learn experientially how to diversify crop production possibly with newer higher yielding varieties or different cropping regimes and improve upon traditional land management practices. The bridges as part of a longer term developmental strategy to enhance connectivity between rural and urban PNG will ultimately result in improved market links and access to a wider range of goods and services. The opportunity to invest compensation monies in clan-based activities such as social support for pre-school children and elderly clan members to ensure greater levels of social inclusion and maintain clan social cohesiveness.
I. Relocation of Physical Structures
i. Options for Relocating Physical Structures
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 25 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
92. DOW through a thorough DMS has confirmed precisely thirty dwelling houses and two trade stores with 2 houses and one stand-alone trade store to be relocated to new sites identified by DPs themselves. The two houses at Laloki are just at the end of the road approach towards Port Moresby. Fate of these two will be determined subject to construction convenience and traffic flow considerations as well as safety of the concerned DPs. All graveyard owners did not want the human remains excavated and relocated because by doing so will greatly disturb their spirits. The markets will be relocated to new sites as agreed to by DPs. The physical structures to be removed and relocated just before construction are tabulated in the next page:
Table9: Physical Structuresforrelocation Bridge Name Crops/ Loss of Kitchen Open Trade Grave Market Total Trees Houses House house Stores yards stalls structures Loss Laloki Various Nil Nil Nil 0 Brown River Various 16 1 1 2 12 3 35 Angabanga Various 12 1 5 1 19 Total 28 1 1 3 17 4 54
ii. Consideration of Alternative Relocation Sites
93. There are number of alternative relocation sites that DPs and other clan members have agreed to relocate immediately after payment of compensation. DPs at Angabanga are all customary owners and they have sufficient land adjacent to their current sites that they would like to relocate. The Goilala settlers at the Northern end of Brown River bridge site will relocate to the Southern end of their current location. Some of their current houses are built of soft and low quality materials and therefore paying cash payments will enable them to build some more quality and permanent homes. The Laloki DPs will also relocate 5 meters inwards from their current locations after receiving payment because they are titled DPs.
iii. Timetable for Site Preparation and Transfer
94. As per the Implementation Schedule outlined in Table 10 all land must be acquired between the months of July – September 2014 before civil works commence in October 2014. DPs will relocate to their new sites between September and October before construction commences.
iv. Legal Requirements to Regularize Tenure and Transfer Title
95. The Land Act (No. 45 of 1996 and ratified on 20/12/96), specifically Section 13 (6) states that GoPNG may acquire the land in question and the DOL at the provincial level (in relation to Hiritano Highway reference is to Central Province) is able to issue the Native Dealing Number (NIT) that regularizes tenure and enables title to be transferred. However, the process of acquiring customary land and transferring titles to DPs will take at least two years for the process to be completed. The process is also tenuous and contagious in the sense that if DOW contemplates land acquisition on behalf of the State and then transfers to
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 26 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
the affected DPs, the very objective of trying to construct the said bridges will be delayed by years. In other words there will be a diversion of focus from the bridge construction to the customary land acquisition and title transfer. To avoid this problem, DOW will pay them compensation fees at market rate and they will relocate to their new sites as agreed by DPs identified and consulted for relocation. Discussions with DPs at Angabanga and Brown River confirmed their willingness to relocate only on the premise that they are paid at the current market price. DOW has assessed and calculated the values of each property to be removed and relocated and the DPs have agreed to accept payment, hence signed signatures in agreement.
v. Measures to Assist Displaced Persons
96. DPs will be assisted by the Project to dismantle the existing structures and re-erect them at the agreed upon site. Assistance to DPs will be to pay for the costs of: demolition of their current physical structures and provide transport to move materials from their current location to new site more than 1km. During consultations with these DPs it was suggested that the Project should finance the construction of some more modern markets, including the creation of better public hygiene, water and sanitation facilities. This they argued would make the markets more attractive both to local users and to passing customers. DOW will consider this request during additional consultations although to comply with the request of these DPs would add considerably to resettlement and associated costs. The market stalls, however are small and may not accommodate the whole community.
J. Income Restoration and Rehabilitation
i. Possible Livelihood Risks
97. APs on all three bridge sites will be temporarily exposed to resettlement risks in that their place of residence will be demolished and relocated. Their daily income generation from fine sand hauling at Laloki and sales of food crops sourced from the affected ROWs at all bridges sites will cease as well because after acquisition, DPs will be denied access. Women DPs and other disadvantaged groups will also be exposed to other social risks such as shortage of HIV/AIDs, sexual harassment by construction workers, and alcohol abuse by local construction workers due to increased flow of cash income in the project areas, which is also likely to cause disharmony among family members.
98. Regular income from vegetables sales will be affected as they said but based on further assessment income earned from sales is not quite significant compared with compensation payments they will receive. Betel nut sales are their primary source of income at Brown River and Angabanga. With the betel nut ban in Port Moresby, the Mekeos including the Lopia Fa’a clan members are adversely affected. The HHs will have the choice to decide whether to replant the young shoots in other gardens they have or destroy them together with medium to matured trees. Note that the State is not obligated to secure a new location to resettle these vegetables and betel nut trees because the state pays for damage as per valuation.
99. Although there aren’t any organized markets on the three bridge sites DPs are likely
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 27 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
to establish temporary markets on all construction sites. These will enable them to generate more income during construction period because contract workers will buy items such as betel nuts, coconut, cigarettes, soft drinks, etc.
100. Some livelihood risks that might impact upon clan members who had not experienced loss of access to productive land might relate to road side betel nut gardens shown in the attached photographs which will be removed during construction. DPs access to fine sand hauling at Laloki will also be affected. This also relates to the nature of fishing during actual bridge construction. The impact per se is not on a critical habitat upstream from the bridges but in close proximity to where fish are typically caught. However, this indirect impact has not been quantified as part of this RP although by making reference to the IEE for each of these bridge sites it can be noted that it is thought the impacts will be minimal. Nevertheless, this is a livelihood issue that DOW is prepared to flag because it is seeking to embrace better practices with resettlement planning processes that it implements.
ii. Income Restoration Program
101. Income expected to be generated by the DPs as a result of foregoing land and vegetation are significantly higher compared to other villages not affected that are in the same region. With the anticipated income they are able to improve food security and improve personal hygiene. DPs were unable to feel the impact of income generated from the sales of vegetables from their gardens at each bridge site but with the payment of land and crop compensation, they certainly will feel the positive impact of having access to huge amount of money at any one time.
102. The GAP based on the Social Assessment undertaken as part of the Project concluded that incomes would be enhanced to purchase local foods at the markets if APs were employed as construction workers. It is estimated that each of the three bridges will take up to three years to construct and during this time waged labour opportunities should be made available as a priority to DPs. Such employment opportunities on their own do not ensure sustainable livelihoods but being paid at least the minimum wage and enjoying working conditions as per ILO Core Labour Standards (a recognized requirement for ADB financing of the Project). DOW is confident that DPs will be considerably better off financially as a result of the Project. This is the experience DOW has found elsewhere in PNG when waged employment opportunities are offered locally. It should also be noted that experience with waged employment on a relatively long-term basis will be a new experience for most of the DPs based on consultations facilitated as part of preparing this RP.
iii. Special Measures to Support Vulnerable Groups
103. The Contractor will conduct special training and counselling programs that emphasis on fostering cordial relations with APs. Most important lessons relates to outside workers relationship to APs where such relations should not disadvantage vulnerable APs. Other specific vulnerable APs were not identified but the contractor will ensure that strategies are in place to identify and assist any specific group that needs special attention from the contractor.
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 28 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
iv. Specific Gender Considerations
104. DOW recognizes that specific gender considerations apply to all public infrastructure projects it both executes and manages. As part of this RP women DPs have been consulted both in mixed groups with men DPs but also in groups just consisting of women with consultations being facilitated by a woman. The measures proposed in this RP to enhance the positive impact of the Project on women DPs and other women living in the Project area are as follows:
Iterative consultations with women at all stages of the Project cycle and importantly in the preparation of the RP. Via the RP ensuring that women clan members not just men clan members are compensated for loss of land and other productive assets. Facilitating processes whereby women DPs can lodge grievances with the DOW and ultimately ADB if they are dissatisfied with any aspects of the RP. Ensuring that women DPs and not just men DPs are offered priority waged employment on the Project and are afforded equal pay and on-the-job training opportunities. Addressing concerns women DPs might have with safety and security issues in contexts where they have to relocate their gardening activities. Ensuring that all livelihood outcomes on socio-economic data is gender disaggregated to analyse impacts at the intra-household, the intra/inter clan, and where relevant inter-tribal level.
v. Suggested Training Programs
105. Training of APs will be considered as one of the critical tools of fostering mutual relations with construction workers. DPs, especially from Angabanga queried whether the project will provide some form of training on agriculture. Although DOW does not try to duplicate roles of another government function, it will be one of ADB policy to ensure training is provided to enhance skills and knowledge that they would use to improve their livelihoods. DOW will work either with agricultural outreach officers from the government or the NGO sector or both to provide training. The Construction Company will hire trainers from HIV/AIDS council to provide to APs and Construction workers.
106. DPs that will be offered priority employment on the Project where some of whom have never been involved in similar projects. The Construction Company will provide on- the- job training to all DPs recruited to work. Such training will include but not be restricted to activities such as pile-driving, concreting, and welding and community relations officers; taking into account occupational health and safety issues and the lack of real experience by most APs, especially women APs. The contractor will also be required to offer practical training in bridge maintenance to APs as DOW is considering the employment of local communities to undertake routine maintenance on bridge assets. K: Resettlement Budget and Financing Plan
i. Itemized Budget for Resettlement Activities
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 29 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
107. Budget for this RP involves three cost centres which are: Land acquisition, Crop payment and relocation of physical structures.
108. The implementation of the RP and construction schedule may progress unhindered if due care and consideration is given to RP. According to DOW’s IOL the total cost for this sub- project will amount to approximately PGK 637,365.30 and an additional K150, 000.00 to support the implementation of this RP as indicated in tables 10 & 11 respectively. The universal costs therefore amount to K787, 365.30. Table 10: Resettlement Budget

ii. Flow of Funds
109. Funds earmarked for compensation payments for: Land, Crops and Physical structures will be paid directly to DPs from DOW once it has been paid to this Office by the Department of Finance in Port Moresby. DOW prepares the funds for disbursement based on DMS and the funds will be drawn down as part of the GoPNG contribution to this Project. Payment for temporary use of land is made directly by the Contractor to local DPs based on an agreement between the two parties as to the actual amount. This will not involve the DOW or other parties unless DPs are dissatisfied with the amounts offered by the contractor.
110. Funds for remaining activities will be paid directly by the DOW once disbursement has been made by the Department of Finance to DOW in Port Moresby. An alternative arrangement might be for the DOW Central Province to be paid directly by the Department of Finance but DOW is not generally agreeable to this alternative because it does not necessarily guarantee the level of accountability and transparency required as disbursements are not guaranteed by law unlike the payment of compensation to DPs.
iii. Justification for Calculating Compensation Rates and Other Cost Estimates
111. Compensation rates were based on replacement cost calculated by a registered Valuer and approved by the Valuer-General. Calculation of these rates took into account the opinions of DPs, especially the ones that were able to demonstrate rates based on recent land transactions in land of equivalent value in their village or nearby villages. Replacement costs also took into account some likely escalation in land values as a result of this Project contributing to a general rise in land values along the Hiritano Highway.
112. Other cost estimates will be based on cost norms the DOW has applied to other infrastructure projects involving the construction of bridges that it is responsible for implementing. However, some of the cost norms for activities (ii) to (v) inclusive will be based on consultations with DPs and civil society groups who are more familiar and experienced in estimating the costs of such activities than the DOW. Government departments familiar with agricultural and forestry based activities were also be consulted in relation to activities (iv) and (v) prior to deriving at the final figures.
iv. Sources of Financing
113. The GoPNG is financially responsible for all resettlement activities with the exception of ADB agreeing to the financing of TA Consultant services to oversee the resettlement based activities during detailed design and RP implementation, monitoring and evaluation of these resettlement activities.

i. Responsibilities and Mechanisms for Carrying out Resettlement Plan 114. DOW is both the Executing and Implementing Agency for this Project. DOW in collaboration with Central Province’s Lands Office and DOL day-to-day activities related to land acquisition and assessment of losses of other productive assets were carried out. These activities included: Collaborate with and assisted by District Lands Officer at each of the three bridge sites to undertake work to comply with the Project’s policies and ADB requirements. Provided resources, including where necessary DOW, Central Province Lands Office and DOL expertise, to carry out the Inventory of Loss (IOL) and Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS). Collaborated and assisted by District Lands Officer in negotiations and agreements with affected landowners or land-users. Facilitated consultations with affected communities and ensured that all stakeholders were informed about the Project, its policies and procedures; ensured that all requirements concerning public disclosure of the provisions for land acquisition and compensation; and, overseeing and monitoring the grievance redress process. Reviewed, updated and endorsed the RP prior to submission to the ADB for approval, ensuring that all matters related to land acquisition and other forms of compensation were complete and correctly reported upon. Monitoring the process of allocation and disbursal of funds for compensation at both the national and provincial levels and ensure that funds are available and compensation is paid in a timely manner. Undertake all other activities including the monitoring of land acquisition and other productive assets’ compensation payments.
115. DOW in consultation with OPA, including the PLO and DLO executed work plan, implement, and monitor land acquisition activities at the sites of the three bridges. The responsibilities included: Undertook cadastral surveys of land required permanently for these three bridges and measured out the area of land required for acquisition by the Project Negotiated and signed Memorandum of Agreements (MOAs) for the acquisition/use of customary land with the clan leaders and affected landowners and/or land-users. Temporary land leases required for the three bridges will be done by the successful contractor. Consulted and advised affected communities about the Project, the policies and procedures when land is required and the rights and responsibilities of directly affected people and other indirectly affected peoples.
116. The Provincial Governor and Provincial Administrator have been regularly advised of the progress on consultation with DPs and they will also be advised of the disbursement of all
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 32 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
funds allocated to pay compensation. Local Level Government Ward Councillors have assisted in helping DOW to facilitate all consultations with local communities, affected people, and other stakeholders to pave way for compensation payments. They will also be able to assist during payment of compensation to DPs and monitoring of project implementation.
ii. Institutional Capacity Building Program
117. As part of the preparation of the RP it has been concluded by DOW in Port Moresby that governmental staff who will be involved in implementing this RP require more training in the ADB’s social safeguard policies and procedures because this Project will be the first one to be implemented by DOW after the 2009 Safeguard Policy Statement that became operational in January 2010. It is also considered necessary by DOW to review GoPNG policies and procedures for the acquisition of land and other forms of involuntary resettlement. Finally, while some DOW staff have limited training in survey tools and techniques that are necessary to prepare a RP there is still considerable room for improvement. Officials to be targeted will include DOW, PDOL and DDOL, relevant staff of the Valuer-General’s office, and any other organizations that might be involved in land acquisition and compensation activities, including civil society groups.
118. A Land Acquisition Officer from DOW was supposed to be assigned within the PIU based in Port Moresby to implement the RP but did not eventuate due to manpower shortage. The Project also provided consultancy support via a Safeguards Specialist to build capacity within DOW and local governments to prepare, implement, and monitor the RP.
iii. Role of Civil Society Groups
119. While there are some civil society groups in the Project area most of them are religious-based and are less than satisfactory for the purposes required as part of the RP. However, there are at least two Port Moresby based NGO groups that have worked with DOW in the past. These two NGOs are the Centre for Environment, Law and Community Rights (CELCR) and Environment Law Centre (ELC). Both these NGOs are non-sectarian in nature and have a good understanding of both gender and indigenous people’s development issues and in the opinion of the DOW are able to work more effectively with local communities than other NGOs: they are also more cost effective. Subject to satisfactory negotiations either NGO or both will be contracted by DOW to undertake external monitoring and evaluation of the RP.
iv. Involvement of Women’s Groups in Resettlement Planning and Management
120. The DOW is mindful of the important role women who are affected by involuntary resettlement in resettlement plans, and the Gender Action Plan prepared for the Project, based on consultations during the preparation of this RP, outlines in detail how the resettlement planning and management processes will be implemented to ensure affected women are not disadvantaged as a result of the Project. Principally compensation payments will be made in such a way that affected women rather than simply men will receive an equal share of compensation payable based on severity of loss and women will also be encouraged
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 33 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
to seek grievance redress if deemed necessary.
M: Implementation Schedule
121. The implementation schedule for resettlement activities to (i) update the RP; (ii) implement the RP; and, (iii) monitoring activities is arranged as follows:
Table 12: Implementation Schedule (PPTA Report)

N. Monitoring and Reporting
122. DOW will implement and monitor all activities associated with land acquisition and payment of compensation to DPs. The scope of monitoring includes: (i) compliance with the agreed policies and procedures for land acquisition; (ii) prompt approval, allocation and disbursement of compensation payments to DPs, including if necessary supplemental compensation for additional and/or unforeseen losses; and, (iv) remedial actions, as required. The monitoring will also cover the social impacts of the three bridges and whether DPs are able to restore, and preferably improve, their pre-project living standards, incomes, and productive capacity. A monitoring and evaluation program utilizing the following indicators has been drafted on the understanding it can be subject to change, including by DPs who will be afforded the opportunity to suggest indicators they consider of more relevance to their livelihoods than are considered relevant by other stakeholders. These draft monitoring and evaluation indicators are shown in Table 10.
123. The SIS undertaken of DPs for this RP together with the Social Assessment undertaken for the Corridor of Influence along the Hiritano Highway will be used as the baseline to monitor and evaluate the above indicators. They will also be used in conjunction with monitoring and evaluation indicators prepared for both the GAP and EMP for these three bridges. The DOW will prepare and submit semi-annual progress reports to ADB as part of project performance monitoring. The DOW will also submit a subproject land acquisition
Package 1: Sub-project II: Three Bridges along Hiritano Highway 35 L 2783/2784 PNG: BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FOR IMPROVED RURAL ACCESS PROJECT (BRIRAP)
completion report to ADB when compensation has been paid.
124. To ensure that there is adequate accountability and transparency with monitoring and evaluating the outcomes of this RP, an external Consultant paid for by DOW will be appointed to undertake independent monitoring and evaluation. Such reports together with those prepared by DOW will be submitted to ADB at six monthly intervals as per the Implementation Schedule. On completion of the sub-projects this external Consultant will prepare a report highlighting its assessment of resettlement outcomes for all three sub- projects in the Hiritano Highway Corridor.
