QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA This social monitoring report collected data utilizing both quantitative and qualitative tools and techniques to draw inference related to safeguard issues and implementation. The quantitative data are collected to measure the status and change of a specific variable which are quantifiable such as affected households, acquired land, compensation distribution status, total structure loss, total crop loss etc.

The qualitative data are also collected in order to identify the issues as well as get detailed information during the implementation process through observation, open-ended interviews, meaningful consultation meetings, GRC meetings, discussions, formal meetings with project staffs, project affected families, local communities, and other stakeholders etc.

SASEC-PSEP 5 NEA-ESSD 8th Semiannual Social Monitoring Report July-December, 2020 4. MONITORING PARAMETERS/INDICATORS AND METHODS The consultant has deployed social safeguard officers in each subproject under the authorization of Environment and Social Studies Department (ESSD), NEA. The officers have collected the necessary information and data by consulting senior technical officials, representatives of the district, local authorized persons, affected people, contractors and locals to prepare this progress report. The report is based on following parameters/indicators: (i) type of acquisition impacts, (ii) extent of impacts, (iii) measures adopted to minimize the impacts, (iv) implementation status of mitigating measures, (v) consultation and participation, (vi) grievance redressed, (vii) compensation payment and (viii) resettlement and rehabilitation etc. 5. SEMIANNUAL MONITORING RESULTS This Semiannual Social Monitoring work is essential for proper implementation of social safeguard measures. The results of monitoring are summarized in the following sections:

5.1 Documentation and Approval Combined Resettlement and Indigenous People Plan (RIPP) for the Project was prepared by NEA and approved by the ADB in June 2011 at appraisal. The first draft of updated RIPP was submitted to ADB in April 2018, which included updated impact assessment of all substations and all tower foundation of DKTLP and partial tower foundation of MKTLP. The household survey for the structure loss household under RoW of MKTLP and RoW of DKTLP has been completed. The updated RIPP report including update of MKTLP and DKTLP along with RoW information (information of structure loss HHs) has been prepared and submitted to ADB in December 2020 incorporating ADB’s comments. The ADB sent further comments on December 2020 version and under revision in PMD and PSC. The household survey of Parbat, Palpa and Syangja Districts has been completed in KNBTLP whereas household survey in remaining districts is ongoing. Similarly, household survey of Lamjung District has been completed in UMBTLP whereas household survey in remaining districts is ongoing. 5.2 Land Acquisition and Compensation Distribution Land acquisition of Dana and Kushma substations under Kali Gandaki Corridor and Markichowk & Matatirtha substations under Marsyangdi-Kathmandu section has been completed. Comparatively, the land acquisition data differs from original RIPP, because the entire land requirement presented in original RIPP was based on estimation. Whereas, this prepared report is based on actual land acquired after check survey and detailed design. The compensation distribution for the APs is under process. With regards to land acquisition for tower foundation, 6.68ha and 9.93ha land has been acquired for Dana-Kushma 220kV subproject under Kali Gandaki corridor and Marsyangdi-Kathmandu 220kV subproject respectively. The details of proposed land in original RIPP and actual land acquired are mentioned below in Table 3:

5.2.10 Livelihood Restoration Program For any loss of livelihood, restoration measures have been identified in the updated RIPP. ESSD has been planning to implement livelihood restoration and enhancement skill development training as a part of safeguard measures of the project. The proposed training will be conducted following the curriculum of Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) 1st level skill development training. PSC consultant will facilitate the trainings.

SASEC-PSEP 25 NEA-ESSD 8th Semiannual Social Monitoring Report July-December, 2020 Till this reporting period altogether 23 trainings have been organized and successfully completed in SASEC TL sub-projects. In this semiannual reporting period two trainings have been started. Some training programs scheduled for the implementation have been postponed due to the impact of COVID-19 pandamic. The details of implementation status of Livelihood Restoration Program in SASEC TL projects are given in Table 15.

5.2.10.1 Effectiveness of Trainings Implementation of livelihood restoration program is ongoing throughout the project affected area as a part of safeguard measures of the project. ESSD has been implementing mitigation activities as identified in RIPP and IEE. Skill development training programs like Beautician, Tailoring, Driving, Computer training has already been completed to restore livelihood and enhancement of skills among 136 project affected families in MKTLP till the end of July, 2020. While implementing skill development training Curriculum of Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT), level 1 is used by trainers. While carrying monitoring works in project-affected areas, effectiveness of livelihood restoration programs is being assessed by consultation meetings, telephonic conversations, door-to-door visits, etc. During such monitoring works, participants are asked about application of skills after training programs. In case of tailoring training trainees, none of them was able to establish own enterprise and enrolled in jobs in the nearby market but found that many trainees are applying their skills at home and generating little bit income for supporting their livelihood, which is found possible due to provision of distribution of tailoring machines among tailoring trainees. While site visit and conversation it was found that if trained trainees are linked with credit facilities then they might do very well in the future by establishing their own enterprise. In case of driving training trainees, some of them are applying their skills, starting new job, and generating the income after training. Some of them have faced challenge to get the driving license and trying to get job after license. After training, some trainees have started their job as an assistant driver in different vehicles and now some of them are working as a driver and some of them are still working as an assistant driver. The detils of Training Participants have been attached in Annexure 7.

SASEC-PSEP 26 NEA-ESSD 8th Semiannual Social Monitoring Report July-December, 2020 Effectiveness of computer training is yet to be assessed and results will be presented in upcoming monitoring reports.
