Improved Rural Connectivity Project Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Improved Rural Connectivity Project REHABILITATION OF PRIMARY FEEDER ROADS IN NORTHERN PROVINCE Public Disclosure Authorized ABBREVIATED RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN FOR PACKAGE I EASTCONSULT/DASAN CONSULT - JV Public Disclosure Authorized EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) has received financing from the World Bank (WB) towards the cost of implementing the Improved Rural Connectivity Project (IRCP) for the six (6) provinces of Zambia. The financing of the remaining four (4) provinces will come from GRZ. The project will be implemented for a period of five (5) years from 2017 to 2021 using the Output and Performance Road Contract (OPRC) approach. Under the OPRC concept, the service provider is paid not for ‘inputs’ but rather for the results of the work executed under the contract i.e. the service provider’s performance under the contract. GRZ is thus seeking to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the management and maintenance of the of the Primary Feeder Roads (PFR) network. Brief Description of the Project Thus, the OPRC has been designed to provide emphasis on the rehabilitation and maintenance of gravel roads which hitherto remain unpaved due to very low traffic volume and/or lack of funds to adequately improve the sub- grade and base. The roads earmarked for rehabilitation are currently being used. However, due to lack of maintenance and repair, the unpaved roads are potholed, embankments eroded away, rattling in a number of places, drainages eroded or blocked with sand. In some instances, the roads are inaccessible. During the construction period, much of the work will include rehabilitation while during the operational period, focus will be on maintenance. Rehabilitation is the work performed on the road which extends beyond routine maintenance. Generally, this involves loosening of a significant amount of material and changing part of, or much of the geometry of the roadway including fore-slopes and ditches. Maintenance is the work done routinely on a road surface, generally no more than light shaping to keep the road smooth, removing slight defects and making sure the crown is maintained to allow water to flow off the driving surface. Project IRCP Objective The overall objective of the project is to improve rural accessibility for communities in the selected areas. Project Area, Cost and Implementation Date The rehabilitation of Package I PFR of total length 112.9km in Mungwi District of Northern Province, is estimated to cost US$6.36million. Civil works will commence once ZEMA approval has been obtained. iv Improved Rural Connectivity Project ARAP for Road Package I – Northern Province Improved Rural Connectivity Project – Prioritised road in Northern Province – Package I SN Road No District(s) Length (Km) 1 RD027 Mungwi 78.6 2 RD025 Mungwi 34.3 Total 112.9 Rationale for Preparation of Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan The rural roads are planned to have a right-of-way (ROW) of 18m width and a carriageway width of 5.5m. It was observed that the 6.25m width (road reserve) on either side of the road has been encroached in a few selected sections by trading facilities, residences or agricultural fields. Objective of the ARAP To ensure that all the persons affected by land acquisition are properly consulted, made available to affordable and accessible grievance mechanisms and are timely compensated at replacement cost their lost assets. Scope of the ARAP This abbreviated plan covers the following minimum elements:1 ▪ identification of project impacts and affected populations; ▪ a legal framework for land acquisition and compensation; ▪ a compensation framework; ▪ a description of resettlement assistance and restoration of livelihood activities; ▪ a detailed budget; ▪ an implementation schedule; ▪ a description of organizational responsibilities; ▪ a framework for public consultation, participation, and development planning; ▪ a description of provisions for redress of grievances; and ▪ a framework for monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. POLICY, LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK Institutional Framework ▪ The President ▪ Cabinet ▪ Parliament ▪ Office of the Vice President – Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit 1 In case some of the displaced persons lose more than 10% of their productive assets or require physical relocation, the plan also covers a socioeconomic survey and income restoration measures. v Improved Rural Connectivity Project ARAP for Road Package I – Northern Province ▪ Government Valuation Department ▪ Office of the District Commissioner ▪ The Local Authority ▪ The Zambia Environmental Management Agency ▪ Public Social Welfare Assistance Scheme ▪ Non-Governmental Organisations Policy Framework ▪ Vision 2030 ▪ The National Policy on Environment, 2008 ▪ Involuntary Resettlement Guidelines from the OVP Legal Framework ▪ The Constitution of Zambia (Amendment), 2016 ▪ The Lands Acquisition Act, 1994 ▪ The Urban and Regional Planning Act, 2015 ▪ The Lands Act (Cap 184) ▪ The Local Government Act, Cap 22 of 1991 ▪ The Land Survey Act – Cap 188 ▪ The Environmental Management Act (EMA), No. 12 2011 ▪ The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations, SI 28 of 1997 ▪ The Arbitration Act, No. 19 of 2000 International Standards ▪ World Bank Resettlement Guidelines ▪ International Finance Corporation Guidelines METHODOLOGY The following activities formed the methodology that was used to prepare the ARAP: ▪ Inventory and identification of affected assets ▪ Census survey of affected PAPs − Enumeration and Registration − Identification of Affected Land Users − Beneficiary Capping ▪ Data analysis vi Improved Rural Connectivity Project ARAP for Road Package I – Northern Province The completion of the census represented a provisional cut-off date for eligibility for resettlement assistance. The cut-off date is the date of completion of the census and assets inventory of persons affected by the project. The inventory was completed on 22 March 2019 and was thus set as the cut-off date. PROJECT IMPACTS The identified impacts are summarised in the table below: Summary of project impacts Impact Total Number Roadside shop 2 Signpost 1 Wall fence 1 Communication tower 1 The relocation of the roadside shops, signpost and, wall fence and tower will be avoided by realigning the road to the other side or confining road works to within the ROW. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND SCHEDULE The summary Resettlement Implementation Budget is presented below. The budget to implement the ARAP is K31, 600.00 as indicated in the table below. ARAP Budget Cost Item Cost Loss of business K600 Signpost K1000 Fence K30,000 Total K31,600.00 CONCLUSION This Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan has detailed the potential impacts of the road upgrade project on the affected communities and presents a mitigation plan for the economic and physical displacement caused by the project. RDA has committed to implementing this Plan according to its internal procedures and within the budget that has been allocated for this project. ________________________________________________ Chief Executive Officer Roads Development Agency vii Improved Rural Connectivity Project ARAP for Road Package I – Northern Province Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ..................................................................................................................

  • Report on Public Campaigns: Time to Learn Radio Programs
    Report on Public Campaigns: Time To Learn Radio Programs Time To Learn developed a focused public campaign on literacy through radio programs to primarily target parents of young learners who are in their early stages of learning how to read and write. The focus of these programs was to encourage and instruct parents on how they can be more involved in their children’s education, predominately literacy in local language. These radio programs conveyed the message using short dramas, lectures and dialogues. For example, in some of the radio program episodes, a chief or a head teacher addresses a community to sensitize parents on the importance of literacy. In another radio program episode two mothers exchange ideas on how they can get involved with helping their children practice reading. Strategies were also discussed on how to support a child’s reading when parents do not know how to read themselves. A complete list and description of the 8 public campaign spots (radio episodes) were as follows: Episode 1: Two mothers discuss how they help their child read at home and recognize that it is not solely the teacher’s responsibility to teach and help with reading. Episode 2: A chief is addressing a village community and encouraging them to be more involved in their children’s education. Episode 3: Parents are listening to a child read out loud and are discussing the importance of knowing how to read at a young age. Episode 4: A child is unable to read and make proper sounds and a parent talks about how it is the parent’s responsibility to assist with reading.
