Displaced Person: Any person who have full or partial, permanent or temporary physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) or economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) resulting from (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. Compensation: Payment in cash or in kind at full replacement costs of the acquired or affected assets. Cut-off-date: Date when people, particularly those who have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to such lands, are considered eligible to be compensated for their non-land assets and receive rehabilitation assistance. Entitlement: Range of measures comprising compensation, income restoration, transfer assistance, income substitution, and relocation, which are due to APs, depending on the nature of their losses, to restore their economic and social base. Income Restoration: Re-establishment of income sources and livelihoods of APs. Involuntary Resettlement: Land and/or asset loss which results in a reduction of livelihood level. These losses have to be compensated for so that no person is worse off than they were before the loss of land and/or assets. Improvements: Structures constructed (dwelling unit, fence, waiting sheds animal pens, utilities, community facilities, stores, warehouses, etc.) and crops/plants planted by the person, household, institution, or organization. Land Acquisition: The process whereby a person is compelled by a government agency to alienate all or part of the land a person owns or possesses to the ownership and possession of the government agency for public purpose in return for a consideration. Market Value: Market value is based on market rates assessed through a survey of prevalent land prices in the project areas. The price assessment will be made by the revenue authority. Determination of market rates should be backed by authentic legal documents, based on average actual transactions recorded officially by the respective Land Acquisition Collector within one year prior to the issuance of notification under Section-4 in the respective mouzas. It is more broadly defined as "the price which a willing vendor would reasonably expect to obtain from a willing purchaser. It is the value to the seller of the property in its actual condition at the time of expropriation with all its existing advantages and with all its possibilities excluding any advantage due to the carrying out of a scheme for which the property is compulsorily acquired." Rehabilitation: Compensatory measures provided under the ADB SPS 2009 other than payment of the replacement cost of acquired assets.

vii

Replacement Cost: The value determined to be fair compensation for various types of agricultural and residential land, crops, trees, and other commodities based on the following elements: (i) fair market value; (ii) transaction costs; (iii) interest accrued, (iv) transitional and restoration costs; and (v) other applicable payments, if any. Where market conditions are absent or in a formative stage, the borrower/client will consult with the displaced persons and host populations to obtain adequate information about recent land trans actions, land value by types, land titles, land use, cropping patterns and crop production, availability of land in the project area and region, and other related information. Baseline data on housing, house types, and construction materials will be collected. Qualified and experienced experts will undertake the valuation of acquired assets. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account.

Vulnerable Groups: Distinct group of people who may suffer disproportionately from resettlement effects. The policy defines vulnerable groups as households below the poverty line, the elderly, those without legal title to assets, landless, women, children and indigenous people.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. The Siri Toi Dam subproject is one of the 3 core subprojects under the Balochistan Water Resources Development Project (BWRDP) proposed for financing by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through a sector loan. The subproject involves land acquisition. This land acquisition and resettlement plan (LARP) has been prepared based on the tentative alignment and feasibility study.

2. The scope of command area is not confirmed at this stage therefore; the cost for this component is not estimated and will be carried out during detailed design of the project. This draft LARP will be updated once the final alignment has been approved during the detail design stage and will be based on the detailed measurement survey (DMS).

3. This draft LARP based on field surveys conducted from January 2017 to August 2017. Information was taken from the cadastral record of the Revenue Department GoB established in 1969, socioeconomic survey, 3 consultations covering about 54 participants comprising of potential DPs and beneficiaries. The route alignment was verified using GPS on site covering the left and right bank irrigation canals, main dam axis, reservoir area, access road alignment, dyke and spillway.

4. Round 768.86 acres (311.15 ha) of land will be permanently affected. Most of which (725.34 acres) are unsettled land that are considered state land. Around 43.10 acres are settled land belonging to 142 landowners. Land needed for tertiary canals/water courses will be determined at a later stage as part of command area development which is expected to be provided by the beneficiaries/WUA members as their counterpart for the subproject. The overall land to be acquired is barren and hill toes and currently there is no economic activity. No impact on crops, trees and structures have been identified. Affected entities include 142 households with plots on settled land and two clans (Ahmadkhel Karezai and Irabzai) with customary claim to land needed for the dam and its components and the irrigation canals. No household or person is expected to lose 10% or more of productive land or be physically displaced from housing. The affected land and displaced persons (DPs) will be firmed up following the notification of Section- IV under the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) by the Revenue Department.

5. Most of the 142 registered owners are deceased. Compensation for deceased DPs will be provided to their heirs following mutation of inheritance based on the LAA. For land where Ahmadkhel Karezai and Irabzai clans have customary claims, compensation procedures and distribution for improvements on land and benefit sharing scheme will be done following established procedures for traditional decision making within these clans.

6. The compensation and rehabilitation entitlements are summarized in the Entitlement Matrix. Compensation for affected land and non-land assets will be based on replacement cost following ADB SPS 2009 requirements. The cut-off date for eligibility to compensation will be the date of publication of Section-IV of the Land Acquisition Act (1894). Any fixed assets such as built structures; crops, fruit trees, and woodlots established after this date will not be compensated.

1 7. The Balochistan Irrigation Department (BID) is the Executing Agency. The office of the Project Director is likely to be in place by June 2018 to deal with all the preparatory activities associated with the LAR activities. The office of the Director PIU will be responsible for the preparation and implementation of LARP and also ensure the availability of funds for LARP’s implementation. The PIU headed by a Project Director will be responsible for project execution and implementation. The Project Director PIU, with the assistance of Social & Environmental Safeguard Unit (SESU) staff (including resettlement, gender, grievance redress, social mobilizers, LAR database/MIS and M&E) and Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will be responsible for the timely updating, implementation and monitoring of LAR activities.

8. The resettlement budget is estimated at Rs. 16,817,075. LAR activities will be monitored both internally and externally. Internal monitoring will be conducted by the PIU-SESU with the support of Project Design and Supervision Consultant (PDSC, while external monitoring will be carried out by a qualified external monitoring agent (EMA) to be hired by the PIU after approval by ADB.

1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 BWRDP Background

9. The Balochistan Water Resources Development Project (BWRDP) aims to support the Government in water sector planning, management and investment on water sector infrastructure in selected river basins. It will assist the government for investment to improve water storage and supply infrastructure at the Zhob and Mula River basins and improve agricultural farm productivity. The water resource and infrastructure development works will be implemented in territorial jurisdictions of Killa Saifullah, Zhob and Khuzdar districts along Zhob and Mula River Basins, respectively.

10. The project will (a) construct new small dams and flood irrigation (spate) systems; (b) improve 300 km of canals, drains, and karezes (subsurface water channels); (c) develop a satellite- based water information system; and (d) build capacity of the local communities, the Balochistan Irrigation Department (BID), and the Agriculture and Cooperative Department (ACD). The indicative outcome of the BWRDP project will be to improve land and water resources, agricultural production and farm income of 10,000 rural households by (i) bringing 10,000 ha of new land under cultivation; (ii) improving 20,000 ha of irrigated land; and (iii) protecting 1,500 ha of watersheds. BWRDP is a five (05) year project, where Asian Development Bank (ADB) provides $100 million sector loan while the Government of Balochistan funds $ 15 million.

11. The Balochistan Irrigation Department (BID) is the executing agency (EA) as well as Implementing Agency (IA) and the On-farm Water Management (OFWM) Directorate General of the Balochistan Agriculture and Cooperative Department (ACD) is the implementing agency (IA) while implementing the On-Farm Water Management Component (OFWM) of each sub- project. The roles of both the EA and IA are well defined in the TA Concept Note and the PPTA Assignment. The same role is described for EA/IA in the BWRDP.

12. Eleven candidate subprojects (5 in Zhob and 6 in Mula) have been selected for inclusion in ADB’s Sector loan including 3 core subprojects. Sri Toi/Tangi War Dam is one of the 3 core sub projects for which this draft land acquisition and resettlement plan (LARP) is prepared as a requirement for ADB appraisal of the project. 1.2 Sri Toi/Tangi War Dam Subproject Description

13. The Sri Toi/Tangi War Dam subproject will store 36.49 MCM, providing irrigation supplies to 4,027 ha (9,951 acre) command area. The dam will supply 3.5 cumec to the command area through an intake structure and outlet arrangement. The irrigation network consists of a 43.8 km trapezoidal main canal.

14. About 100% of the proposed Sri Toi-Tangi War Dam Project area falls in Mouza Ahmadkhel District Zhob. The whole area is spread over on right and left bank of Sri toi River. Location map of the subproject is presented in Figure 1 while the subproject components are shown in Figure 32.

15. Main components of Sri Toi/Tangi War Dam core subproject include:

• An earth-fill dam, 66 m high on Siri Toi River, at latitude 31° 35' 56.35" N and longitude 69° 16' 8.6" E. The dam top elevation is set at EL 1462 m. The main dam is 231 m long. A 236 m dyke towards the left abutment of the main dam to close the reservoir rim at EL. 1456 m.

• A 135 m ogee spillway with a discharge capacity of 2,158 cumecs at the left of the dyke for protection against a probable 10,000 year return period flood. • An intake structure, outlet arrangement and a 43.8 km trapezoidal main canal.

• Command area development works. 1.3 Location and Access to the Subproject

16. The subproject is located on the Union Council of Mir Ali , tehsil and district Zhob, about 62 km north-east of Zhob on Siri Toi river, the main tributary of Zhob river near Kili Gul Khan. The latitude and longitude of the sub-project are 31° 35’ 52” North, 69° 15’ 58” East and the mean altitude of the command area is 1350 m above mean sea level. The location of the proposed dam, shown on the Location Map is given as Figure 1.

17. Access from Zhob to the dam site is via Zhob-Wana road. Initially in the direction of north-east for a distance of 42 km then turning to Samabza road in south-east direction up to Kili Hazrat Sahab by a 10 km link metaled road, followed by 10 km katcha shingle/gravel track to the dam site. The journey takes about 2.25 hours from Zhob town. 1.4 Command Area of the Subproject

18. The population in the area is poor, with subsistence farming as the main economic activity. The subproject is expected to have a major impact on the welfare of the local people. Agriculture and livestock are main sources of income of the local people. The communities in the sub-project area is composed mainly of Mandokhel tribe of Pashtoons. These communities are relatively remote and have very low income levels. However, there are significant markets within reach and the area has potential for wheat and vegetables which offer good rates in the market.

19. The subproject will cover a command area of 4,027 ha which is presently cultivated on a seasonal basis for vegetables and grains. The proposed reservoir would recharge the subsurface flow of karezes, shallow wells and tube wells, protect the agriculture land and human settlements from devastation of floods during flood seasons and develop grazing zones for livestock. The stored water will support drinking, agriculture and other domestic uses.

20. The subproject involves land acquisition due to the inundation of land in the reservoir, construction of dam axis, dyke, spillway, left and right bank irrigation canals as well as water courses. This draft land acquisition and resettlement plan (LARP) has been prepared based on the proposed alignment to identify the nature and types of social impacts of the subproject and prepare a rough estimate of cost for the acquisition of land. The final LARP will be

1.5 Objectives of the LARP

21. The objective of this LARP is to ensure that livelihoods and standards of living of displaced persons (DPs) are improved, or at least restored to pre-subproject levels and that the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups are improved. This LARP assesses the type and magnitude of LAR impacts, establishes the eligibility and entitlement of compensation; and describes the institutional arrangements for the implementation of LAR activities including redress of community complaints, cost, implementation schedule and monitoring. This draft LARP is prepared based on preliminary design. A final LARP will be prepared based on the detailed design and final route alignment. 1.6 Alternative Options for Minimizing the LAR Impacts

22. Appropriate efforts and all possible engineering design options have been considered while identifying the preliminary alignment to avoid, or if not possible, at least minimize LAR impacts. This alignment has been done through review of Google imagery and topographic surveys carried out during the feasibility study. The proposed layout of the dam and irrigation network has been set considering existing topographical features.

23. The subproject command area is sparsely populated. The major settlement exists at Killi Hazrat Sahab Village, which is about 1 km to the left of the main canal. The detailed topographic survey indicated that no settlement exists along the proposed canal network. Similarly, there was no human activity found in the reservoir area during the topographic survey. 1.7 RoW Requirement for the Dam, Reservoir and Irrigation Canals

24. The proposed dam axis and canal route alignment is designed by PPTA Engineers in a way to minimize the impacts on the surrounding communities. The subproject will require 768.86 acres of land for the main dam, reservoir, dykes, spillway, irrigation canals, access road, and irrigation canals. It will also temporarily need 8.22 acres for the contractor’s camp. ROW requirement for the subproject is as below and demarcated in Figure 3. i. dam axis : 14.33 acres ii. dykes: 9.28 acres iii. spillway: 9.32 acres iv. reservoir/ the areas to be inundated: 413.5 acres v. left and right bank irrigation canals: 271.04 acres (for 15 m ROW) dam site vi. access road: 51.39 acres vii. temporary site for the contractor’s camp: 8.22 acres

2 SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT 2.1 Methodology

25. Field data was collected through several site visits conducted from January to August 2017. The PPTA resettlement team visited the subproject route alignment and collected revenue record and data regarding unit prices from the Revenue Department (RD) at Zhob GoB.

26. Primary data was collected through individual interviews, focus group discussion and consultations with local community, while secondary data was collected from cadastral map and land price records from the Zhob RD.

27. The team collected socioeconomic data of potential DPs, held meetings and focus group discussions and prepared impact location profile. Questionnaires were prepared to collect data on the above four aspects. The methodology for data collection is described below: ➢ Interview methods – individual household/DP interviews were conducted for a sample population. ➢ Recording/ documentation – A walk-through survey was conducted jointly with the ‘patwari’ of the Revenue Department to identify the potentially affected land plots. On-way side discussions with local community/ general public were also carried out while conducting the field survey. ➢ Group discussions – focus group discussions/scoping sessions were conducted with the DPs. ➢ Participatory rapid appraisal methods (PRA) – PRA tools and techniques were used for conducting the impact location profile and public consultations. Probing, cross questioning and open discussions with the target population.

28. Under the supervision of the PPTA Social & Resettlement Expert, the sub-consultant hired for the integrated survey with assistance of Zhob RD carried out a detailed impact assessment survey along the determined RoW for the proposed dam and irrigation canals. 2.2 Impacts 2.2.1 Impact on Land

29. Around 768.86 acres (311.15 ha) of land will be permanently affected. Of these, 106.38 acres is part of the river bed (of which, around 15 acres is river plain used to be cultivated by members of the Ahmdkhel Karezai clan more than 5 years ago), and 0.03 acre is under the C&W Department along Wanna Zhob road. The remaining 662.45 acres comprised of household plots and unsettled land. In addition, 8.22 acres are required temporarily for establishment of contractor’s camp. The subproject component-wise summary of land to be acquired is given in Table 1. Details on the affected land is given in Annex - I and Annex - II.

10

30. Land will also be needed for the tertiary canals/water courses as part of the command area development. This will be determined at a later stage and is expected to be provided by the beneficiaries/WUA members as their counterpart for the subproject.

Table 1 - Summary of Land required for Siri Toi Dam S# Subproject Component Estimated Land Requirement (in Acres) Permanent Temporary Private Public1 Total (Public) 1 Main Dam Axis - 14.33 14.33 - 2 Dyke - 9.28 9.28 - 3 Spillway - 9.32 9.32 - 4 Reservoir Area - 413.50 2 413.50 - 5 Left Bank Canal 43.10 106.14 149.24 - 6 Right Bank Canal - 121.80 121.80 - 7 Access Road - 51.39 51.39 - 8 Contractor’s Camp - - - 8.22 Total 43.10 725.76 768.86 8.22

31. Only 43.10 acres (5.6%) of the permanently affected land is settled and registered to 142 landowners3. The other 725.34 acres (94.3%) is unsettled land and considered as public land. However, customary claim by 2 clans of the Mandokhel tribe over this unsettled land is reflected in the land records. Ahmadkhel Karezai has customary claim on 497.82 acres required for the main dam components (reservoir area, spillway, dyke, main dam axis and road) and 43.60 acres for the left bank canal, while Irabzai clan has customary claim on 121.78 acres at the right bank canal and 62.14 acres at the left bank canal. Ahmadkhel Karezai clan also has customary claim on the proposed 8.22 acre site for the contractor’s camp required temporarily for the subproject. The remaining 0.03 acre is under the C&W Department. The project affected land is uncultivable waste land with customary usufruct rights having no cultural/spiritual significance for the local community. However, the recognition of the claim entitlement of a clan establishes which households can be included in the distribution of land once the land is settled/distributed.

32. During site visit by the PPTA team, the Patwari and Qanoongo of the Revenue Department Zhob confirmed that the proposed dam axis point and reservoir area as unsettled. As reported by the community of Hazrat Sahib village, this piece of land is called Bagheecha, Hazrat Sahib Bandat or Sara Kach and currently claimed by Qari

1 Except for 0.03 acres of land which is under the C&W Department of Balochistan, two clans (Ahmadkhel Karezai and Irabzai) of the Mandokhel tribe have customary land claim on the public land required for the subproject. 2 This includes approximately 15 acres of the river plain which used to be cultivated by Mr. Hazrat Sahib of the Ahmadkhel Karezai clan more than 5 years ago. 3 Exact number of affected landowners will be identified during the detailed measurement survey (DMS) at final design. A full census and DMS will be conducted during detail design stage after notification of Section-IV of the Land Acquisition Act by the Revenue Department. The LARP will be updated accordingly by the Implementation Consultants. Many of the registered owners in the cadastral records are deceased. For these cases, mutation of ownership to the legal heirs will be required to process compensation payments.

11

Sana-ul-Haq (Hazart Sahib Family). The Hazrat Sahib family has no objection to the construction of the proposed Sri Toi Dam Project on their claimed land in response of the anticipated benefits from the subproject. Proper procedure and documentation for land donation will be followed as per LARF.

33. The land to be acquired is generally barren and hill toes and currently there is no economic activity. Around 15 acres of land along the riverbank at the reservoir area were reportedly previously cultivated but have been idle for the past 5 years. The lone contributor (Hazrat Sahib) who was cultivating the land has stopped cultivation with the expectation that their earlier request to BID to construct the dam to meet the drinking water and irrigation demands of the community has been considered. Nearest village to the dam site is Killi Hazrat Baba, located around 6.5 km from the dam axis. There is no settlement in the reservoir area. The existing land features are shown in Figure 4 and Annex-II.

2.2.2 Impact on Structures

34. Based on the tentative alignment and findings of the baseline survey completed in August, 2017, there are no structures in the subproject corridor/primary impact zone.

2.2.3 Impact on Crops & Trees

35. Based on the baseline survey conducted in August, 2017, there are no trees and standing crops or cropped area in the primary impact zone and location of the proposed infrastructures. The land is barren and no cultivation has been made on the affected plots for the past 5 years. 2.3 Affected Households (AHs)

36. Based on the field survey and cadastral record of the revenue department, 142 potentially affected households (AHs) with claim on 43.10 acres of settled land and 2 clans (Ahmadkhel Karezai with customary land use claim on 541.42 acres and Irabzai clan with claim on 183.92 acres). Approximately 8.22 acre will also be needed temporarily from the land claimed by Ahmadkhel Karezai. AHs and the affected clans do not rely on the affected land for their livelihood. Hence, it is not anticipated that loss of land will significantly impact their livelihoods. On the other hand, remaining land of the AHs and the 2 clans are expected to become viable for cultivated agriculture which can provide additional income to them. The reservoir area also has the potential for aquaculture activities which may benefit members of the Ahmadkhel Karezai clan. None of the AHs/DPs are expected to be physically displaced from housing. The number of AHs and DPs are not yet known at this time and will be confirmed and updated once the notification of Section-IV of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 has been

3 SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE 3.1 General

37. Except for the few settled land that was recorded in 1969, most of the land in the project corridor is unsettled and considered as state land as defined in the Land Revenue Act of 1967. The land owners documented in the revenue record of 1969 are mostly deceased and at this time their children or grandchildren are the heirs of the deceased property owners. The Ahmadkhel Karezai and Irabzai clans of the Mandkhel tribe claim 621.21 acres of the land required permanently for the subproject. The overall land is barren, not cultivated and has not been distributed by the clans to their members. Therefore, there are no specific households claiming specific plots on the unsettled land that may be required for the subproject. For the draft LARP preparation, the socio- economic baseline survey and consultation with the communities carried out for the feasibility of the Siri Toi Dam subproject was used. The socio-economic information will be updated based on the census and updated socio-economic profiling of the DPs to be carried out during the detail design and finalization of the LARP. The detailed methodology for primary and secondary data collection is discussed in Section 2.1 of this LARP. 3.2 Administrative Setting

38. The proposed subproject involves the construction of an irrigation system on the right and left bank of the Sri Toi River. The subproject area falls in the jurisdiction of of Balochistan Province. The geographical area of Zhob district is 12,400 square km and there are two tehsils and 24 union councils. 3.3 Population

39. The average household size in Zhob district is 7.90. The projected population (2010) of Zhob district based on the 1998 census was 253,557, the annual population growth was 2.28%. Household size was 8.1 and housing units were 34294.4 The population density is 9.50 persons per square km and dependency ratio is 111.90.

40. Households from 17 villages are expected to benefit from the subproject. Pushto is spoken as the major language in the area while small number of the people can speak Urdu. The communities belong to Muslim religion group.

41. Around 64.8% of the households live in a nuclear family system, while 35.2% lives in a joint/extended family system. There are about 2-3 earning male family members. The average family size is 14.15, male and female ratio is 7:8.

4 The detailed/village breakdown of the results of ’s 6th census (2017) have not been released at the time of this draft LARP preparation. The statistics will be updated once the detailed 2017 results have been made available to the public.

3.4 Community/Clan Distribution, Structure and Decision Making

42. The Siri Toi Dam core subproject is located in Zhob District of Balochistan. The Zhob District is bordering with District of Balochistan and North Wazirstan area of FATA in the North, Afgahanistan in the West, Qila Saifullah District in South and Districts of Lorali and in East. Mandokkhel is the main tribe in the Zhob District where the subproject is located. Most of the population of the Mandokhel tribe reside in Zhob city and also extend up to the borders of District Shirani and North Waziristan in the north. This tribe is further subdivided into six clans - Shaikhan, Mamayazai, Sonhkhel, Apozai, Irabzai and Ahmadkhel Karezai.

43. Out of the six clans of Mandokhel tribe, only the Irabzai and Ahmadkhel Karezai clans reside and claim customary land rights in the Siri Toi Dam subproject area. Most households belonging to the Ahmadkhel Karezai clan are settled on the left bank of Siri Toi River while those belonging to the Irabzai clan are settled on the right bank of the Siri Toi River. Admadkhel Karezai clan comprises of 161 households (3,857 persons) residing in 5 villages. There are 703 households (9,054 persons) belonging to Irabzai clan distributed in 12 villages. All 864 households belonging to these 2 clans are expected to benefit from the subproject. The clan and village-wise distribution of households in the subproject area is summarised in Table 2.

44. The Jirga involving respected community representatives and clan leaders is the commonly accepted method in community decision making and conflict resolution in the villages of Zhob district. The Hazrat Sahib family is the dominant family in the Ahmadkhel Karezai clan and is well respected in the entire Mandokhel tribe. The family’s patriarch is Hazrat Sahib and is considered a spiritual leader. After his death, Qari Sana-ul-Haq, being the eldest family member, assumed the leadership in the Hazrat Sahib family. Qari Sana-ul-Haq is an influential person within. He is trusted to make decisions about clan matters and resolve inter or intra clan conflicts. In case of Siri Toi Dam, the Qari Sana-ul-Haq has been granted the lead role by his co-clan members in distributing land among the male Ahmadkhel Karezai clan members and in tackling matters with the Irabzai clan.

45. Within the Irabzai clan, there are nominated persons who had empowered by their clan to take any decision with respect to land distribution with Ahmadkhel Karezai and within their own clan. The persons nominated in the committee are heads of the clan or villages having background of the same clan, had influence in the tribal setup and are considered the representative elders of the clan and villages. Most of the committee members have ancestral background of being village or clan leaders for resolving the intra and inter clan’s conflicts. 3.5 Land Ownership, Customary Land Claim and Communal Land Distribution

46. The Ahmadkhel Karezai clan have customary land use claim on the left bank of the Sri Toi River and upstream of the proposed dam axis, while the Irabzai clan have customary land use claim in the entire land on the right bank of the river and some blocks on the left bank like Nikhal, Mullakhi, Suri Qamar and Spin Wah.

47. Settled land. As per revenue record, the settled land on right bank of Siri Toi River was recorded in 1969. Records reveal that the total registered (settled) land in the subproject area is 3,981 acres and 34 poles. The irrigated land is 91 acres and 38 poles while unirrigated land is 3878 acres, 3 rods and 38 poles. Due to absence of agriculture activities in the area, further settlement has not been carried out. Most of the land owner’s as shown in the revenue record are deceased. The proposed Siri Toi Dam has increased value of the land and the heirs have shown interest to arrange for the mutation of land records to reflect the distribution among the existing heirs before

17

commencement of the physical works. As per local practice, each male member of the deceased landowner will have equal inheritance right on the land.

48. Customary claims/use rights on unsettled/state land. Unsettled land is presumed to be public land whereupon limited customary use rights are accepted under local legislation and customs. Customary land use claim by Ahmadkhel Karezai and irabzai clan on unsettled land in the subproject area is recognized by the government and reflected in the land records. Unsettled land claimed by the Ahmadkhel Karezai and Irabzai clans is distributed in 24 awaras or land blocks of varying measurements and sizes. Out of these, 2 awaras are located upstream of the dam axis while 22 awaras (7 along right bank and 15 along left bank of river) are downstream of the dam axis and will be developed as irrigation command of left and right bank canals. The blocks or Awaras claimed by the clans are discussed in Table 3. Table 3 - Clan Wise Land Claim in the Command of Siri Toi Dam

49. Although the land is segmented into awaras with accepted use rights for the occupying clans, further distribution of land parcels to the individual households in each community has not been done due to non-availability of water needed for cultivation. During consultation with the communities, the shareholders were sensitized to get legal possession/registration of land in the revenue record and distribute/allocate it as individual land share before commencement of the physical works. According to the prevalent legal and customary systems, generally, two types of land distribution for agriculture is practiced in Balochistan province as follows: • Permanent land distribution- in case of permanent land distribution, when the piece of communal land or unsettled land is registered5 with the revenue department, immediately, the land is distributed among the individual clan member by the clan elders either by adopting allocated shares for earlier settled land or by an agreed distribution mechanism. During the community consultations, it was indicated that all the male married members of the Irabzai and Ahmadkhel Karezai clans are considered to have equal rights on the unsettled land claimed by the community. A lottery system will be used to determine which plot will be allocated to married male members of both clans.

• Temporary/rotational land distribution. In case of temporary land distribution, the land is distributed on temporary basis till the time of permanent land distribution. In this case, the common practice in Balochistan province is the block rotation system6. Under this system, each family has been given a land title in the communal land but plots of land are not permanently allocated. Normally, one specific awara or block of land is earmarked for cultivation at the beginning of the main cropping season and a lottery system determines which farmer will utilise which specific plot of land. The main reason to utilise a lottery system is to spread the risk among the clan members of getting a less fertile plot of land or to have a plot of land at the tail of the command area. 3.6 Settlement Pattern

50. The rural population of the Zhob district are settled in 774 7villages. The subproject area is also consisting of rural population lives in compacted clusters. Majority of the population live in small settlements of five to twenty houses scattered all over the subproject area. All houses are made of stone masonry and built without layout or plan and without any regard to blocks. All mud houses usually have a boundary wall enclosing enough space for cattle and storage. The roof of a mud house consists of 81% mud and 19% tiles. Houses are mainly constructed of locally available impermanent materials, typically mud or sub-baked bricks fused with baked mud

5 The application for the settlement of unsettled land has been submitted by the clans to the Revenue Department Zhob. After review, the RD will declare the land as claimed by the clans and may be distributed among its members. Accordingly, the clans will commence the distribution of land further among the individual members of the clan. After completion of the land distribution at the individual level, the clans will again approach the RD for documentation of the land in the name of an individual households to whom specific parcels of land are allocated. 6 HALCROW Community Irrigation System in the Province of Balochistan, report for Balochistan Community Irrigation and Agriculture Project, 1998.

The multi-dimensional poverty in District Zhob is 82.8%. Based on the field survey, the poverty line12 at the Zhob River Basin is estimated at 84%. These findings indicate that AH are likely to be generally living below the poverty line. 3.8 Literacy Rate in the Subproject Area

53. According to the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement Survey (PSLM) survey, 2009-10, the literacy rate in Zhob district is 10+41.

3.9 Electricity Connection & Electricity Appliance Ownership

56. Villages in the command area of the subproject has access to electricity. Commonly owned electric appliances include television, radio, fans, electric heaters, fridges and cookers. 3.10 Transport Facilities in the Subproject Area

57. Most villages in the subproject area have village tracks or unpaved (kacha) roads and are linked with Zhob city through Simbaza Zhob black top road. The condition of kacha village road is almost in good condition. The major forms of human transport are motorcycles, bicycles, pickups and tractors 0.59. 3.11 Livestock in the Subproject Area

58. Livestock is one of the allied fields of agriculture. The total livestock in District Zhob were recorded at 2493940.14 There are 7 veterinary hospitals and 58 veterinary dispensaries. Most common livestocks are sheep and goats. Households on an average of 28.4 sheep and 14.9 goats. This shows that sheep and goats are the preferred farm animals that people like to keep and grow as compared to any other livestock species probably due to the suitable weather conditions and the ease of keeping it. The other ruminants are cows and donkeys. The donkeys are commonly used for fetching water and woods from the mountains.

59. The average weight of goat is 10.7kg. The average weight of cow is 50.3 kg and average weight of sheep is 14.2 kg. The average value of goat, sheep, cow and donkey Rs. 9,529,Rs.13,471, Rs. 50,588 and Rs.11,471, respectively. 3.12 Households Income by Sources

60. The three primary income sources15 of households in the subproject area include wage labour (31.6% of households), livestock rearing (28.2% of households), and employment in government (22.5% of households). The remaining primary sources of income are small businesses, agriculture, government contractors, legal consultants and employment in NGOs.

61. Secondary sources of income include agriculture (61.5% of households), wage labour (19.7% of households) and livestock rearing (16.78% of households). The remaining secondary source of income is employment from government. 3.13 Major Source of Drinking Water

62. The ground water, springs and perennial flow of the rivers are major sources of water for drinking in Zhob District. There are 95 water supply schemes in Zhob district16 As

21

per MICS survey, 2010, 70% of households reported that quality of water is improved, while 30% says it remains unimproved. The main sources of water in the subproject corridor are household-based hand pumps and small springs. 3.14 Gender Issues and Analysis

63. Primary and secondary information was also reviewed to assess gender situation at the district level. Consultations were made with female members of the surveyed households to assess the socio-economic status of women and document gender differences and discussed. Nominal number of women are involved in agriculture/farming activities outside their homes.

64. Tribal norms and traditions are deep rooted in the area with little involvement of women in decision making. The male child is preferred over the girl child in education, health, etc. The females play a limited role in income generating activities and their work is undervalued. As reported in Pakistan Social And Living Standards Measurement Survey (PSLM), in 46% of cases in urban areas and 28% cases in rural areas, parents did not allow the girls to attend school. In 23% cases, the girl child did not attend school because she had to help at home against only 5 percent boys.

65. The entire society of Zhob district is male and tribally dominated. Men decide on politics and the fate of the family and tribe. Therefore, they assume a predominant role in both the community and family decision making. The rate of literacy amongst women is very low. Female participation in elections has increased since 1985. Previously, women were discouraged to vote. Women play a minor role in decision-making in the community, but they play an important role in the household and agricultural affairs of the household. According to MICS Balochistan 2010, female literacy rate (15 years and above) is 9.3%.

3.14.1 Subproject Impacts on Women’s Mobility and Access

66. The women occasionally travel outside their villages, mostly for visiting doctors, shopping and social events. Very few girls travel for education or to access vocational

22

facilities located in the urban centers of Zhob. Interviewed women were concerned that during the subproject execution, their travel time. privacy, and social networking may be affected.

67. In this context, a proper mitigation measures need to adopted to avoid or minimize such temporary disturbances during the construction. There would not be a significant mobility issues for women during this irrigation project execution as no or a minimal number of women are working in farm fields and out of their houses/villages.

3.14.2 Women’s Participation in the Decision making at the Household

68. During consultations, it was found that the majority of decisions are taken by both men and women at the household level. However, the decision for women to work outside home is 100% taken by men. This also indicates restricted mobility of women outside the village. Women shared that women’s participation in decision making is more encouraged and common in educated families and younger generation. Educated couples believe in sharing and taking joint decisions.

3.14.3 Livelihood Source & Economic Activities of Women

69. The ownership of sewing machine is a source of income for the women in the subproject area. 100% of the households own sewing machines.

70. Chicken rearing is another economic for women. Approximately 97% of the women in the subproject area own poultry. The women do not sell chicken in the market but only use it for domestic consumption. The major economic activities of women in the subproject area included:

• Poultry rearing (100% of women) • Embroidery (89.1% of women) • Handicraft (19.8 of women) • Tailoring (12.4% of women) • Government employment (6.4% of women)

71. The women in the subproject area do not play a role in the agriculture and watershed management activities. 3.14.4 Women Role in Livestock Rearing

72. Both men and women are engaged in livestock activities; men are responsible for the animal’s health as this entails outside activity. Women are involved in watering, feeding and milking. Most women are also engaged in processing dairy products including whey and butter for home consumption.

73. None of the women interviewed own livestock or authorized to sell animals. Women have no rights in land ownership and there is no female headed household in the

23

subproject area. As per Islamic law, the women are not given their due share in from the paternal side and share in case the husband dies. 3.14.5 Potable Water

74. As per field findings of the integrated survey, 100% of the interviewed women fetch water from hand pumps17 located inside their compound. Water from these sources is also used for washing dishes and clothes. Women and girls are responsible for fetching water for domestic purposes. Most women have some notion of the need for clean drinking water but drinking water is neither filtered nor boiled in any of the respondent’s household.

75. Majority of women (68.1%) store water in bottles. Others store their water in plastic containers (29.2%), goat skin (9.3%), and iron containers (2.3%). 3.14.6 Health & Hygiene

76. No modern health facilities are available in the subproject area. Women rely on a traditional birth attendant. Knowledge of the nutritional value of food and the importance of balanced diet is very limited. Respondent women reported a prevalence of various health problems including diarrhoea, abdominal pain, malaria and skin diseases. Most children suffer from skin disease. There are 12 lady health visitors (LHVs), 250 lady health workers, and 52 midwives covering 38% of the population of Zhob district.18

77. 100% of the interviewed women reported that they do not boil water before drinking. Water storage container were kept covered. There are no standard toilets. Common pits are used. There is no sewerage system in the subproject area.

78. As per MICS survey, 2010, 62.10% of the households have aces to the toilets. As per integrated survey for the core sub-project. 97% of the women were observed washing their hands before eating and after using common pit toilets, kneading floors and cooking while remaining did not permitted the team for survey. 3.14.7 Women Role in Agriculture

79. Two-thirds of the women interviewed were not involved in agriculture activities in the fields of their husbands or relatives. Women do not grow vegetables for home consumption inside their compound.

3.14.8 Women Priority Needs

80. During the survey, the following needs of women in the subproject area were noted; • Training in health and hygiene;

17 Hand pumps are manually operated pumps; they use human and mechanical power to extract the groundwater for drinking and other domestic use. 18 National Program for Family Planning and Primary Health, 2010.

24

• Provision of female education facilities; • Employment; • Kitchen gardening; and; • Development of water collection and Washing Ghats under the project. 3.15 Vulnerable DPs

81. The actual DPs have not been determined. The census and socio-economic baseline survey will be carried out during detailed design and finalization/update of the LARP which will be used to identify vulnerable DPs. However, using the general poverty data in Zhob as initial reference, it is estimated that 83% of the 142 AHs losing land may likely be considered as poor and therefore vulnerable. 3.16 Indigenous Peoples (IP)

82. No impacts on Indigenous Peoples (IP) are expected as the subproject will be implemented in Zhob District, where none of the population fall in the category of Indigenous Peoples as defined in the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement. 3.16.1 Impact on Historical, Cultural and Religious Structures

83. No graveyards, cultural and religious structures are located within the alignment of the proposed system.

4 INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION 4.1 Project Stakeholders

84. There are two types of stakeholders, i.e. primary and secondary stakeholders. In accordance with the ADB guidelines, the primary stakeholders are the initial stakeholders including beneficiaries, DPs and the general public in the subproject area. Accordingly, the public consultation was made with the local community/general public along the subproject alignment to note the general response of the people, although detailed disclosure will be made after final design of the subproject alignment and components.

85. Under this subproject, the secondary stakeholders are the representatives of Government Departments/agencies involved in the planning, design, implementation and operation of the subproject, including various government departments such as the Irrigation Department, Revenue Departments, and District Administration including the Deputy Commissioner of Zhob District. 4.2 Public Consultations along the Subproject Alignment

4.2.1 Consultation with Communities

86. Socio-economic baseline survey and consultation with the target communities was carried out from 27 to 31 January, 2017 and from 23 to 24 May, 2017. The team of PPTA also interacted with the Deputy Commissioner Zhob, representatives of Revenue Department Zhob and communities/beneficiaries within in the command of the proposed Sri-Toi/Tangi War Dam. A second round of consultations was carried out with the communities on 7 July, 2017 to get their updated views about the subproject. A third round of consultation was carried out in August, 2017 to record and address community concerns. A main concern raised was on the equitable distribution of land once the subproject becomes operationalized.

87. During consultation with the communities, it was learnt that the subproject beneficiaries of the Siri Toi Dam project include two clans of Mandokhel tribe who have formed a committee to deal any matter with respect to Siri Toi Dam project. The persons nominated in the committee are heads of the clan or villages having background of the same clan, had influence in the tribal setup and are considered the representative elders of the clan and villages. Most of the committee members have ancestral background of being a village or clan leaders for resolving the intra and inter clan’s conflicts. The following committee (maraka/jirga) members are nominated from the Irabzai and Ahmadkhel Karezai clans of the Mandokhel for the Siri Toi Dam project. This committee is responsible for the distribution of land among the households of the clans and settle any conflict/grievance arises during the detail design, construction and O&M phases of the project. The consultation undertaken with the clan leaders with regard to customary land are given in the following Table 5 while the summary of key findings are given in the Table 6;.

The village elders, representatives of nominated committees and village communities participated in the consultations. The list of participants along with their signatures/thumb impression are given as Annex-IV.

4.2.2 Consultation with the Public at Large in the Subproject Area

89. A total 3 consultative (54 participants) discussions with local community were made along the subproject route alignment.19 More intensive consultations and disclosure of information will be made after the detailed design of the subproject has been prepared. During detailed design and finalization of LARP, BID will ensure that additional meaningful consultation with the affected households and women is conducted and documented. The total number of consultations, agreements reached and participants will be reflected in the final LARP.

90. During the survey, people were asked about their views regarding the proposed subproject. In general, people have positive views and good hopes about the subproject as according to them it will be beneficial for their agricultural land and eventually this canal will raise the productivity of their land. Some general concerns of the people are shown in Table 6:

19 The inhabitants/representatives of all villages were gathered on these three locations keeping in view their close proximity to the consultation venue.

4.3 Concerns Regarding the Subproject

91. During the preparation of the subproject, a concern was registered by (i) Muhammad Karim, (ii) Haji Muhammad Khan and (iii) Haji Shah Baz Khan on the proper distribution/division of land plots in the command area prior to starting the works to ensure

28

that there will be no conflict among the beneficiaries. Consultations were held with the Deputy Commissioner Zhob and the Patwaris/Qanoongo of Revenue Department Zhob office to clarify the land settlement status in the area. It was confirmed that the command area is mostly unsettled land but claimed by certain clans. Plots will be subdivided among members of the clan following procedures accepted in the community. The project is envisaged to establish Farmers Organization (FO) as an umbrella community based organization for Siri Toi Dam Project and Water Users Associations for each canal in accordance to the BIDA Act, 1997 and CIFO Regulations 2000. These organizations are to be established by the PMU with the support of PDSC. The establishment of these community based organizations are helpful for the smooth and timely distribution of land among the members of Irabzai and Ahmadkhel clans are expected to be completed before the completion of detail design and finalization of LARP. 4.4 Information Disclosure

92. This LARP (draft and final) will be translated into Urdu and disclosed by the PMO to the DPs and placed in accessible places and in a form understandable to DPs and other stakeholders, including the relevant tehsil offices of the respective district. The LARP will also be disclosed in English and Urdu on ADB and BID’s websites before appraisal of the project. Any corrective action plan (CAP), if required, prepared during subproject implementation will also be disclosed to DPs and on ADB’s website. Internal/external monitoring reports of LARP implementation will be disclosed to the DPs and on ADB’s website.

93. The office of the PIU BWRDP will keep the DPs informed about the impacts, the compensation and assistance proposed for them in this plan and facilitate in addressing grievance (s) of the DPs as well as other locals. Finally, there will be on-site consultations to ensure the entitled disbursement of the compensation to the entitled DPs. A copy of the information disclosure (brochure) will be placed in the offices at field level (PIUs), Revenue Department (office of LAC) and in the office of PIU for ready reference if somebody (DPs/ local community) like to review.

5 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM

94. Generally the LAA 1894 provides a grievance redress mechanism starting at early stage of the land acquisition process until compensation is paid, but it is limited to the DPs having established interests as per land holding records and the DPs with informal land use are those without title are left unattended. Nevertheless the mechanism provided under the law will be available but in parallel, the project level Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) will be set up for all subprojects to address grievances arising from social and LAR impacts. This LARP determines the structure, roles and functions of the GRM, through grievances arising due to LAR related impacts can be addressed in each subproject. These will be further elaborated and specified as per requirements in each subproject LARP. The GRM aims to receive, review and resolve grievances from physically and economically displaced persons and ensure smooth and fair implementation of subproject LARPs.

95. Proper consideration will be given to avoid grievances rather than going through a redressal process. The community concerns on the subproject, land acquisition and resettlement process that may lead to potentially grievous issues and problems will be resolved through a strong consultation, participation and information disclosure strategy during planning, preparation and implementation of the LARP. For problems that cannot be resolved through CPID actions and at informal level of the grievance resolution system, DPs will require an accessible and effective GRM. Therefore, a project based a gender sensitive GRM will be placed from very beginning of project implementation. The GRM will start functioning as soon as activities for detailed project design and LAR planning commence and will continue during preparation, finalization and implementation of the LARP and the civil works for the subproject.

96. The GRM will explain how the grievance redress system and procedures are accessible to affected persons and gender. The BID will arrange resources and necessary logistic support for the DPs to have an easy access to the grievance resolution system for raising their concerns or appealing any disagreeable decision, practice or activity arising from land or other assets compensation. DPs will be fully informed of their rights and of the procedures for addressing complaints whether verbally or in writing during consultation, survey, and time of compensation. Effective involvement of the local communities at local level (informal level of grievance redress system) can be obtained ethrough extensive communication and coordination between the community, the PMO, the DO (Revenue)/ LAC and other line departments and by ensuring full participation and consultation with the DPs. If the grievances remain unresolved at the local level, those will be elevated to the formal level of GRM available at the BID (project level) and PMU/PIU (subproject level).

97. Informal Level of GRM. SESU will closely coordinate with the DPs to consult them on their concerns, identify and resolve matters of disagreement or disputes on impact assessment, compensation eligibility and entitlements. Farmers’ organizations and village DPC can be notified to provide an informal level of grievance redress mechanism. The project safeguards and engineering staff will coordinate with DPs and village level committees to review and resolve the issue or concern related to LAR planning or implementation

30

preferably within 15 days of communication of the grievance. The process on informal grievance resolution will be documented and presented in the project progress and internal monitoring reports. If the issue remains unresolved at the informal level, it will be referred to the formal Grievance Redress Mechanism.

98. Formal Level of GRM: A Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will be established constituting the representatives of PIUs, Social Safeguards staff of ESU, representatives of District BID (XEN/SDO), representatives of Revenue Department (DOR/or LAC), local community and representatives of concerned FO (if any). In the case of Siri Toi Dam, the committee composed for the subproject by Ahmadkhel Karezai and Irabzai clans shall be an integral part of the GRC. The GRC will convene its regular meetings preferably once in a month and as and when the need arises. The GRC will review grievances involving all LAR planning and implementation and social issues including, compensation, relocation, and other assistance as well as social issues that may arise due to restricted access to the resources and amenities. GRC will perform the following functions: record grievances of DPs, categorize and prioritize the grievances that needs to be resolved by the Committee and solve them within a month;

• Summon and hear aggrieved persons/parties to produce the evidence of their claims and record their view point.

• Communicate its decisions and recommendations on all resolved disputes to Project executors and the aggrieved persons for implementation.

• Forward the unresolved cases to PMU within an appropriate time-frame with reasons recorded and its recommendations; and

• Develop an information dissemination system and acknowledge the aggrieved parties about the development regarding their grievance and decision of PMU.

• Maintain a complaint register accessible to the stakeholders with brief information about complaints and GRC decision with status report.

• Maintain complete record of all complaints received by the GRC with actions taken.

99. This Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will work both at the project and field level. The project safeguards and engineering staff in coordination with district level BID staff will inform the DPs about GRC and its mechanism through consultations, focus group discussion and by posting the information at prominent places. The complaints received through any media will be screened by type and category and registered in a community complaints register (CCR), where the name & address of complainant, date, description of complaint and action taken will be recorded. The complainants will be informed/acknowledged about their complaints within 5 days of receipt of complaints and the GRC will review available records and if required will advise the safeguards/engineering staff to conduct fact finding in consultation with aggrieved person, local community and the

31

land revenue staff and submit fact finding report. Preferably the fact finding will be completed within 15 days of receipt of complaints.

100. The GRC in its formal meeting to be conducted within 30 days of receipt of complaint will hear and clarify the complainant (if required so) about the issue and shall conclude and communicate its recommendations for further implementation. Complainant will be kept informed during the process and the GRC decision will be communicated to him in a language and form understandable to him. The GRC proceedings will be documented step by step and all record will be maintained and presented as summarized form in project progress and internal monitoring reports. Nonetheless, the complainant will be at liberty to access the formal legal course if he is dissatisfied with the GRC findings and recommendations or opts to go through formal legal course. However, if GRC fails to conclude its recommendations either due to some technical or legal constraint, the GRC will immediately report the issue to BID and will request guidance and support it deems necessary and will ensure to resolve the grievance in the next 30 days. In case of any delay, the complainants will be kept fully informed on the progress and process about their grievances.

101. Grievances pertaining to the land acquisition process, compensation awarded and paid under LAA will be resolved following the procedures provided in the LAA. Any complaint received will be registered in the GRM and the DPs will be clarified on the process and supported to access the legal system. Other issues will be resolved through the project based GRM. as The process for grievance redressed is described in the following Error! Reference source not found..

6 LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK 6.1 LAR Legal and Policy Framework

102. This LARP has been prepared in light of Pakistan’s laws relevant to land acquisition and resettlement and ADB’s SPS 2009 for Involuntary Resettlement (IR) and Indigenous Peoples (IPs). To resolve any gaps between the two sets of instruments, i.e. Pakistan’s Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LAA) and ADB’s SPS 2009 the framework provides measures to reconcile and address the gaps in a manner consistent with SPS’s requirements. 6.2 Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LAA)

103. In Pakistan, the LAA (1894) governs land acquisition. The LAA regulates the land acquisition process and enables the federal and provincial governments to acquire private land for public purposes through the exercise of the right of eminent domain. Land acquisition is a provincial responsibility and Balochistan will invoke the Act with successive province specific amendments21 for acquiring land. The LAA and its implementation rules require that following an impact identification and valuation exercise, land and crops are compensated in cash at the current market rate to the titled landowners. The LAA mandates that land valuation is to be based on the last 3 to 5 years average registered land-sale rates. However, in several recent cases, the median rate over the past 1 year, or even the current rates, has been applied with an added 15% compulsory acquisition surcharge according to the provision of the law. In addition to assessed compensation, the Act also provides additional compensation calculated @ 15% per annum for a period from the day of publication of notification under Section-4 to the day when compensation is awarded to avoid inordinate delays in land acquisition process.22

104. The LAA lays down definite procedures for acquiring private land for projects and payment of compensation. For entering private land or carrying out surveys and investigations, specified formalities have to be observed and notifications to be issued. Damage to any crops during survey and investigations has to be compensated. The DPs, if not satisfied, can go to the Court of Law to contest the compensation award of the Land Acquisition Collector (LAC).

105. The law deals with matters related to the acquisition/ or temporary occupation of private land and other immovable assets that may exist on it when the land is required for public purpose. The right to acquire land for public purposes is established when Section 4 of the LAA is triggered. The LAA specifies a systematic approach for acquisition and compensation of land and other properties for development projects. It stipulates various sections pertaining to notifications, surveys, acquisition, compensation and apportionment

21 The LAA 1894 with successive amendments incorporated in some provisions through land acquisition (Balochistan Amendment) Act, 1985 and Land Acquisition (Balochistan Amendment) Ordinance 2000 is governing law for acquiring land for public purpose projects in Balochistan, 22 Through land acquisition (Balochistan Amendment) Act, 1985, the Section-28 replaced as “Additional Compensation. In addition to the compensation fixed on the basis of market value as prevailing on the date of notification under section-4, an additional amount of fifteen percent per annum of the compensation so fixed shall be paid from the date of the notification under section-4 to the date of payment of compensation”.

35

of awards, along with disputes resolution, penalties and exemptions. The surveys of land acquisition are to be disclosed to the DPs. However in practice, only “legal” owners of property supported by records of ownership such as deeds, title or agreements are usually compensated. Other interested persons and impacted third-parties are not always considered.

106. Compensation for infringement of rights of third parties other than registered owners is also considered even on state land if it is substantiated with acceptable evidence at the time of taking of possession. The Land Revenue Act of 1967 explains the mechanism for compensation of infringed third-party rights over government claimed land under Section 51. 6.3 ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement

107. In the context of involuntary resettlement, SPS defines displaced persons (DPs) are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas.

108. SPS covers losses whether losses and/or involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary. SPS is based on the following XII basic principles. The most significant from the perspective of this LARF are the principles that require; early screening of the projects to determine scope of resettlement planning; meaningful consultations with and participation of the affected communities in resettlement planning, implementation and monitoring and disclosure of information; compensation eligibility and entitlements to the extent of non-land assets for displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land; provision of resettlement assistance for vulnerable in addition to compensation for their lost assets; and ensuring income restoration measures and livelihood support for restoring living standards of DPs at least to pre project level if not improved.

• Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks.

• Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all DPs 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 vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the 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. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase.

36

• Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all DPs 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.

• Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (a) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (b) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (c) civic infrastructure and community services, as required.

• Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing.

• 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 settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status.

• Ensure that DPs without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets.

• Prepare 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.

• Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other stakeholders.

• Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project’s costs and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation.

• Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation.

• 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

37

achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions, and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports, and disclose monitoring reports. 6.4 Project LAR policy

109. The subprojects will be screened at early stage to avoid, minimize or mitigate involuntary LAR impacts causing physical and/or economic displacement. For subprojects and schemes involving LAR impacts, a comprehensive assessment of social impacts, involving (i) a census of all displaced persons (titled and without title), and an inventory of their lost assets (ii) a sample based socio-economic survey of displaced persons, and (iii) a detailed measurement survey and valuation of all lost assets including lost incomes sources will be carried out and accordingly comprehensive LARPs will be prepared for every subproject with LAR impacts under the Sector Lending.

• Meaningful consultations will be carried out throughout project LAR planning, implementation and monitoring periods and displaced persons and other stakeholders will be consulted and informed as well as given an opportunity to participate in LAR planning and implementation activities.

• Each draft or updated/final LARP duly endorsed by the borrower/client and cleared by ADB will be disclosed on the ADB’s and BID’s websites while hard copies translated into language understandable to local community will be placed at accessible place in project area. The LARP provisions, particularly those on impact assessment and valuation, eligibility and entitlements, compensation delivery and grievance redress mechanisms will be disclosed to the DPs by the BID through dissemination of information brochures, placing information boards/banners at conspicuous places in affected villages around the project corridor.

• A project based grievance redress mechanism with representation of all stakeholders will be established at the time of project inception and will be kept intact and functional throughout project implementation period to address the social issues related to project design, resettlement planning and implementation, restriction of access to resources and basic amenities during construction and any other social matter that arises during implementation of the project. While, in case of land acquisition, the GRM provided under law (LAA 1894) will be followed to address concerns on land acquisition process, land title, land compensation assessment and apportionment issues/disputes etc.

• Compensation eligibility will be limited to cut-off date announced as such by the government. In case of land acquisition under law, notification under section-4 of LAA 1894 will be the cut-off date, while for compensation entitlement not covered under law cut-off date will be established and declared as the day of commencement or completion of social impacts assessment survey and census of DPs.

• Legal title will not bar compensation under the project, and all titled and non-titled DPs occupying required land and land based assets on or before the cut-off date will be eligible for compensation, relocation and rehabilitation measures, as applicable, regardless of nature and type of impacts (permanent or temporary, full or partial). Non-titled DPs without legally recognizable claims to land will be eligible for all compensation to the extent of affected assets other than land as well as relocation and rehabilitation support under LARP provisions and entitlements.

38

• Compensation of land and structures will be at full replacement value, either through the replacement of land or structures23 of equivalent or higher value and quality or through cash compensation at replacement cost24. The value of structures will not be depreciated for age and the salvage will be allowed to DPs. It will be ensured that DPs are not displaced physically or economically before payment of compensation and other entitlements for their lost assets and income and livelihood restoration program is in place.

• Incomes and livelihood sources lost, including but not restricted to crops and trees or interruption of business activities and employment, will be fully compensated at replacement cost. DPs permanently losing incomes and livelihood sources as well as poor and vulnerable DPs will be entitled to credit, training and employment assistance to maintain or improve their livelihoods.

• All lost civic infrastructure and community services will be either restored at site or established at replacement land and the DPs will be provided opportunities to share development benefits of the Project, if feasible.

• In case of project based resettlement sites for relocation, the DPs will be entitled for secure tenure to replacement land, better housing, transitional support and access to civic infrastructure and services at resettlement site.

• The LARP implementation progress and effectiveness of the implementation of each subproject LARP and livelihoods restoration measures in place for DPs will be monitored during and evaluated after LARP implementation and Social/LARP monitoring reports will be compiled and shared with ADB biannually. 6.5 Cut-off-Date

110. The Cut-off-date for eligibility for compensation for affected structures and improvements for the Siri Toi Dam subproject will be the date when detailed land measurement survey is completed which will be announced to the community. The communities were informed that any person who enters in the subproject land after the announced cut of date, will not be eligible for compensation and any fixed assets such as built structures; crops, fruit trees, and woodlots established after this date will not be compensated.

111. The cut-off date for land will be the date of publication of section-4 under LAA 1894 or any other date as fixed as such by the government.

23 For replacement of land or structures all transaction costs will be paid by the project or included in compensation payments to the DPs. 24 Full replacement cost involves fair market value, transaction costs, interest accrued, transitional and restoration costs and other applicable payments without depreciation.

39

7 ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE, BENEFITS AND RELOCATION 7.1 Compensation Eligibility and Entitlements 7.1.1 Eligibility

112. The DPs will be eligible for compensation or rehabilitation assistance/ allowances as discussed below:

• All land-owning DPs losing land by legal title or traditional land rights, whether for temporary or permanent acquisition. • DPs losing the use of structures and utilities, including titled and non-titled owners, registered, unregistered, tenants and lease-holders; and encroachers/ squatters. • Loss of communal property, lands (shamlat) and public infrastructure. • Vulnerable DPs identified through the social impact assessment survey/ analysis. • For relocation, all DPs will receive transitional and other support to re-establish livelihoods.

113. Eligibility for compensation will be based on the “cut-off date” in order to avoid an influx of outsiders. Anyone who settles in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation. For this subproject, the cut-off date will be the date of notification under Section 4 of the LAA. 7.1.2 Entitlement for Compensation

114. The entitlements are applicable for DPs losing land, houses and incurring income losses. These displaced persons are eligible for rehabilitation subsidies and for the compensation of lost land, structures and utilities along with loss of livelihood. Moreover, there will also be special provisions for vulnerable DPs including women/women headed households.

115. The following will be the entitlements applicable for DPs: I. Land Impacts: A. Permanent Land Acquisition: Registered landowners of settled land will be compensated at replacement value (i) in cash at current market rates25 free from taxes & transfer cost, interest accrued, transitional and restoration costs, and other applicable payments plus a 15% compulsory acquisition surcharge, or (ii) through replacement land equal in value/ productivity to the land lost. When >10% of a DP’s income or agricultural land is affected, DPs (owners/leaseholders and sharecroppers) will get an additional allowance for severe impacts equal to the market value of one year’s gross yield of the land lost (inclusive of both winter and summer harvest). For

25 Market rates will be assessed through a survey of prevalent land prices in the project areas. The price assessment will be made by the revenue authority Revenue Department GoB). Determination of market rates should be backed by authentic legal documents, based on average actual transactions recorded officially by the respective Land and meet the replacement cost requirements at the time of compensation payment as per ADB SPS.

40

the unsettled land (state land) where the Ahmedkhel Karezai and Irabzai clans have customary landuse claim, no compensation will be made for land. Compensation will be made for improvements made on the land and non-land assets. Benefit sharing schemes under the subproject will also be agreed with clans having claims on unsettled land.

B. Temporary Land Loss: Landowners26 will receive cash compensation equal to the average land rent value of Rs.5,000 per acre during 3 years construction period for temporarily occupied privately-owned land. The land will be restored to its original condition after completion of works. The rental payment will be made to the landowners during the duration of the use as per LAA 1894. However, based on initial assessment, no privately-owned land will be occupied temporarily by the subproject.

II. Vulnerable People Livelihood Assistance

116. For vulnerable affected HHs i.e. households below poverty line, landless, female headed households and disabled persons, a lump sum one-time livelihood assistance allowance for three months (Rs. 15,000/month27) will be provided. All vulnerable affected households (adult DPs) will also be given preference to provide jobs in the project-related activities. Vulnerable households will be documented during the finalization of LARP and the specific LAR impacts on their livelihood will be identified in the census and socio- economic survey. The displaced vulnerable persons will be consulted and measures for rehabilitation and enhancement of their livelihood and living standard will be provided in the LARP and ensured during LARP implementation and project execution.

7.1.3 Entitlement Matrix for Compensation

117. The compensation and rehabilitation entitlements20 are summarized in the Entitlement Matrix presented as Table 8 below:

8 RELOCATION, REHABILITATION AND INCOME RESTORATION 8.1 General

118. The subproject is not expected to result in physical displacement and loss of livelihood. No residential or commercial structure will be affected and no DP is expected to lose 10% or more of his or her productive (income earning asset). Focus is therefore made on identifying and assisting vulnerable households to improve their living conditions and livelihood and in exploring benefit sharing schemes for the clans having customary claim on the unsettled (state owned) land. 8.2 Livelihood Assistance to Vulnerable Households

119. Vulnerable households will be provided with a lump sum one-time livelihood assistance allowance for three months (Rs. 15,000/month) and given preference in jobs in project-related activities. If feasible, basic training on relevant basic skills will be provided to enable members of vulnerable households to get employed in the civil works and operations of the irrigation system. 8.3 Benefit-Sharing Schemes

120. Benefit sharing scheme in the form of engaging clans with customary claim portions of the state land in watershed protection activities, support to aquaculture activities at the reservoir, employment in project-related jobs, and hand-over of contractor’s facility for community use after the completion of civil works will be explored during the detailed design phase and finalized at the early stage of subproject implementation. The PMU will conduct detailed consultations with the DPs during detail design and LARP updating phase and shall discuss opportunities available for benefit sharing through watershed management, development of aquaculture activities as alternative income source and project related job opportunities. Accordingly, the benefit sharing schemes will be agreed with the affected communities and included in the updated LARP on detail design stage.

121. In case of Siri Toi Dam Project, the DPs are the beneficiaries of the project as well. As discussed in section 4.3, the DPs will be given opportunity to join the formation of Farmers Organization (FO) and respective Water Users Associations (WUAs). The benefits of the proposed project was shared with the DPs as well as beneficiaries during the feasibility stages by PPTA consultant and again frequent consultations are envisaged to be carried out by the EA/Project Design and Supervision Consultant (PDSC) during the detail design, construction and monitoring phases of the project by taking on-board both the DPs and beneficiaries. The procedure for benefit sharing will further be elaborated in the final LARP.

127. In addition to the implementation of LAR activities above, the SESU at PMU/PIU will monitor day to day progress on LAR implementation activities and ensure smooth and timely implementation of LARPs and execution of sub-project works in a manner consistent with the LARP and LARF provisions. The PIU will share LARP implementation status through monthly project progress reports, while separate LARP and social monitoring reports (internal) will be prepared and shared with ADB biannually or following reporting frequency (depending on the scale and sensitivity/complexity of the project impacts) agreed in ADB cleared LARPs for each sub-project. Besides, the SESU assisted by the safeguards staff mobilized by the DSCS/PIC will report to ADB on any unforeseen impact and will prepare and implement corrective action plan or addendum to sub-project LARPs under ADB’s guidance to ensure project implementation is fully consistent with the ADB’s safeguards requirements. Any corrective action plan or addendum to LARP prepared and cleared by ADB shall be disclosed 9.3.1 External Monitoring Agent:

128. BID will engage a qualified individual/firm as external monitor to review and assess the LARP implementation. The main objective of the EM process is to provide a third-party independent review of LARP implementation and provide necessary recommendations. The External Monitor shall prepare and share biannual social monitoring reports with BID and the ADB for review and acceptance. All ADB cleared biannual social monitoring reports will be disclosed on ADB and BID’s websites and monitoring results will be shared with the DPs and local communities.

9.3.2 Project Design and Supervision Consultants/Project Implementation Consultant

129. The PIU BWRDP will be assisted by the Project Design and Supervision Consultants/Project Implementation Consultant who will be responsible for preparing/reviewing the detail design of the subprojects and will assist the PMU/PIU during

46

preparation, updating, implementation and monitoring of the LARP. The PDSC/PIC will hire the services of the following qualified and experienced staff to augment capacity of the SESU staff in delivery of the LAR tasks and will provide on job assistance and coaching to the EAs staff for their better understanding on the safeguards requirements and management. The PDSC/PIC safeguards staff (1 resettlement specialist, 1 gender specialist and 2 junior sociologists) will be on full time basis and will closely coordinate with the SESU staff to assist them in delivering the LAR management tasks

9.3.3 Local/District Government

130. The Zhob district officer revenue/deputy commissioner is the land acquisition collector at district level while his assistants/deputies are the LAC for the sub districts they are appointed to. All land acquisition affairs, including publication of notifications under LAA provisions, identification and assessment of land, determination and delivery of compensation for land acquired under law rest with the LAC. To deliver its functions the LAC has number of other supporting officials, most notably the Patwaris, (the land records keeper) who retains the land management record and carry out specific roles in land acquisition process that include measurement of land and preparation of land maps and record identification, verification and updating of land titles, and issuance of land title documents to be used at the time of processing of compensation claims etc. So keeping in view the role of local land administration authorities, they will be engaged and coordinated throughout project implementation to ensure the project ROW lands are made available adequately and timely.

131. Besides, land administration authority discussed above, other line department of local/district government that will play a vital role in LAR plaining include, Buildings and Roads department, Agriculture Department and Forest Department. The assessment of affected asset different from land, i.e. structures, crops, and trees fall under preview of these departments, so during LARP planning these local government departments will be closely coordinated to get the updated assessment rates to ensure the compensation of acquired assets is fully reflective to replacement cost. 9.3.4 Civil Society Organizations

132. The relevant CSO (if any in the project area) will be engaged to cooperate with PIU’s SESU staff and consultants deputed to the subproject in the required LAR impact assessment including census of DPs as well as socio-economic surveys (SES). 9.3.5 Civil Works Contractors

133. Contractors are obliged to commence civil works only at sites where subproject LARPs have been fully implemented and confirmed as such by EMA and will have no direct role in LAR implementation. However, during execution of civil works, it is likely that some construction related activities may require quarrying from borrow sites beyond project corridor causing temporary displacement due to occupation of land on mutually agreed

47

terms and conditions with the land owners for borrows or some accidental damage to access or route may result in some temporary and reversible social management issues. The civil works contractors selected for subprojects will be tasked with managing such temporary displacement at sites because of his actions or omissions at and around the construction area. He will ensure to make arrangements with DPs for payment of compensation and restoration of affected land to its original state as agreeable to the DPs. The contractors’ supervisory staff will be engaged to participate in LAR capacity building provided by the LAR consultants of the project/facility. These requirements will be included in the works contracts and loan covenants. 9.3.6 ADB

134. ADB will review all LARPs and confirm their responsiveness to ADB’s safeguards requirements. In cases where these do not meet ADB’s requirements, ADB can advise for additional assessment and improvement of the LARPs to comply ADB’s safeguards requirements. ADB will also conduct periodic social safeguards reviews, to verify that LAR planning and implementation is being carried out as agreed in this LARF and the subproject LARPs.

9.3.7 Coordination Initiatives

135. The land acquisition for public interest projects is responsibility of the provincial government through the Provincial Board of Revenue and its subordinate land administration offices at district level, i.e. the District Land Revenue offices assisted by the other line departments of local Government. With the effective coordination of departments/ agencies involved in land acquisition under LAA provisions, the assessment of LAR impacts and compensation can be completed smoothly and eligible and entitled DPs can be paid timely. By making timely payment to the DPs, a smooth and timely project implementation could be ensured. The guidance and support by provincial government including, BOR and its subordinate offices at district level, provincial communication and works department, agriculture and cooperative department will be critical to implement the project and may require coordination at management level and working level. For improved coordination among the government departments involved in land acquisition process the government will constitute two coordination committees including LAR steering committee at provincial level and LAR coordination committee at district/river basin level. A LAR Steering Committee at the BID, and a LAR coordination committee at the district level will be constituted for the project. 9.3.8 LAR Steering Committee:

136. The LAR steering Committee at provincial level will be constituted as highest forum to take decisions on land acquisition issues and provide a coordinating node for all line departments. The LAR steering committee will meet periodically to discuss and review the progress on project LAR activities and shall decide on land acquisition issues being faced by the project and guide the land acquisition and resettlement coordination committee and

48

district level government offices responsible for land acquisition on land acquisition mode to be followed, impact assessment and valuation of assets on replacement cost basis and compensation entitlements etc. The process for notification of LAR steering committee formation will be initiated by the PMU BWRDP. The composition of the LAR Coordination Committee will include the PD PMU BWRDP, Secretary Settlement Board of Revenue Balochistan, Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner for respective division/district, representatives (not below the level of Deputy Secretary) for the Secretaries of Balochistan Irrigation Department (BID), Forest Department, Agriculture & Cooperative Department (ACD) and Communication and Works (C&W) Departments and Planning and Development Board Balochistan. The committee will meet periodically, more preferably on quarterly basis to review the project LAR progress and all its meetings will be documented, meeting minutes will be prepared and circulated and meeting records will be fully maintained.

9.3.9 LAR Coordination Committee:

137. At PIU level a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Coordination Committee will be constituted consisting of Director/Deputy Director Social SESU, Additional Deputy Commissioner/LAC for respective district, representative (not below the level of deputy district officer) of Irrigation, Agriculture, Forest and C&W departments with resettlement specialist (mobilized through PIC) as secretary to the LARCC. The LARC will support and guide the PIU team in i) assessment of LAR impacts, census and socio-economic surveys, ii) review the on-going market rates of land and assist PIU/LAC in determining the replacement cost for land and land based assets. The LAR Coordination Committee will meet regularly to review the progress on assessment of impacts, valuation of assets on replacement cost basis and acquisition of land and resolution of grievances on impact assessment and determination of compensation during LARP planning and preparation stages. Such review meetings will be conducted on monthly basis, however, if required the LARCC can call additional issue specific meetings to ensure proper and timely implementation of the subprojects. 9.3.10 Capacity Building of BID/ACD

138. The capacity of BID/ACD in particular the SESU will be enhanced under the project with respect to implementation of LARP and EMPs under the project and also to improve BID/ACD capacity in planning, development and operation of water resources management systems with proper consideration to environmental and social issues and participation of stakeholders in order to make water systems sustainable in the long run and generate higher benefits.

10 RESETTLEMENT BUDGET

139. The resettlement budget was estimated considering the potential impacts, which included the loss of land, and allowances/ livelihood restoration. Thus, the total amount of resettlement budget is computed at Rs. 16,817,075. The resettlement/land acquisition budget will be sourced from the counterpart fund to be contributed by the Government of Balochistan and loan proceeds will not be utilised for acquisition of land. BID will ensure the timely payment of compensation and allowances, in order that the LARP could be implemented after update on the final design/alignment with respect to implementation schedule. The budget presented below is therefore provisional and will be finalized in the final LARP. The break-up of resettlement budget by component is presented in Table 9.
