I. INTRODUCTION

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

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

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

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

5. LGED will ensure that no physical displacement or economic displacement will occur until (i) compensation at full replacement cost has been paid to each displaced person, and (ii) other entitlements listed in the RPs have been provided.

6. This Resettlement and Social Impact Assessment Report has been prepared for water supply Improvement Sub-Project of Sherpur Pourashava taken up under Package Nr. UGIIP- III-2/SHER/WS/01/2016 in phase-2. After selection and completion of the designs of the proposed schemes, the safeguard team of the Management, Design and Supervision Consultants (MDSC) conducted resettlement and social impact assessments through investigation of different social safeguard issues including land acquisition and resettlement requirements as per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009). The resettlement and social impact assessment report for Sherpur Pourashava has been prepared based on the feasibility study and detailed engineering designs.

7. During investigations, it was revealed that the water supply Sub-Project proposed for Sherpur Pourashava under Package Nr. UGIIP-III-02/SHER/WS/01/2016 that will be implemented on the Pourashava’s own land and it is expecting that the construction of the aforesaid water supply Sub-Project will cause neither physical nor economic displacement of any kind. There is no possibility of land acquisition and no structure will be affected, none need

to be relocated, and consequently no involuntary resettlement (IR) impact are anticipating and thus the Sub-Project is classified as Category C for IR. Under the circumstances, this report may be treated as due diligence report (DDR) with respect to social safeguard issues for the concern Sub-Project.

B. Institutional Set-up

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

II. SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION

9. Location: Sherpur district is located at the foot of the Garo Hill 190 km north of capital city Dhaka. It is in Mymensingh Division. It is bounded on the north by Garo hills of Meghalaya (india), on the south by Sarishabari Upazila of Jamalpur district, on the east by Haluaghat, Dhobaura and Fulpur Upazila of Mynmensingh district and on the west by Bakshigonj, Deowangonj, Islampur and Melandah of Jamalpurpur district. It is about 70 km and 18 km away respectively from Mymensingh and Jamal district. It lies between 24018 and 25018 north latitudes and 89053 and 90091 east longitudes. Sherpur town is well connected by roads with Greater Mymensingh district and national capital Dhaka. Area of Sherpur PS spreads over 24.74sq km, with a population of 97.979(49.622 male and 48.357 female) as per BBS census 2011.The PS is split into 9 wards and has 22,665 households. Literacy rate is 59.2%.The density of population is 4189 persons per sq.km which is relative high.

10. The Components: In Sherpur Pourashava 11 Nr. PTW had been installed earlier. At present only 8 PTWS are functioning. Around 110 km pipelines (dia. 75 mm to 200mm ) is available of which around 9.5 km is transmission and remaining 100.5 km is distribution pipelines. About 9 km pipeline (dia. 100 mm) is undersized and pressure is insufficient in the distribution lines which need to be replaced by higher dia. Pipes (dia. 150 mm and 200 mm). There are 1,942 service connections out of which 1,906 is domestic and remaining 36 are commercial connections. 1,716 connections are metered and 226 connections are non- metered. 28nr. of street hydrant also exists in the Pourashava. Due to replacement of pipelines, 500 service connections will be required to reconstruct. 500 new service connections will also be installed with meter, 02 PTWs will need to be regenerated. In addition 03 PTW has been proposed in order to meet up the demand after 2030. Under the circumstances, this Sub- Project has been proposed comprising the sub -components in Package. Nr.UGIIP-III- 2/SHER/WS/01/2016. Table-1 shows the Sub-Project components including possible social impact and ownership of land.

11. The components of the sub-project seek to upgrade and expand the urban services. The water supply scheme is located in different wards of the Pourashava. The proposal is concerned with activities, which addresses the most acute needs for better urban services and facilities to inhabitants of the Pourashava. Participatory process, involving the stakeholders, has been adopted in selecting the Sub-Project components. Figure-1 shows the location of Sherpur Pourashava, Figure- 2 shows the Proposed Water Supply Area in Sherpur Pourashava and figures 3, show the strip maps of water supply Sub-Project.

12. The Sub-Project contains installation of 03 Test Tube-Well, 03 production Tube Well, constriction of one over head tank (capacity 680 m3), regeneration of 02 (two) existing PTWS, replacement of 9.0 km pipe lines from lower diameter to higher diameter, Reconstruction of 500 Service connection, and construction of 500 new connections with water meter and necessary Mechanical & Electrical works etc. Appendix-7 Shows the photographs of Sub- Project Component Sites. All subsequent designs have been done according to the Pourashava/ PMU demand, recommendations and suggestions.

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

14. Implementation Schedule. Substantial time is required spanning the continuum of Sub- Project preparation, approval, survey, design & estimate, contract award and contract execution. Efforts need to be made to follow the schedule of timely implementation of work. Normally the construction work season in Bangladesh runs from October to May (eight months). The Construction works are sometimes impeded for the following reasons:  Early floods in April/May,  Late floods in September/October,  Natural calamities (cyclone/tornado, excessive floods) occur in April/May and October/November.

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

16. Considering the above facts, it has been estimated that the implementation of phase- II, water supply of Sherpur Pourashava will cover 12-months period (tentative) and major works are advisable to take place between May, 2016 and November, 2017. This tentative time should be implementation (as an indication) is shown in Figur-4.

B. Methodology used for Assessing Land Acquisition and Resettlement 18. Data collection. Necessary data regarding social, economic and gender information have been collected primarily through desk work, field visits to the proposed Sub-Project sites and one-on-one interviews with stakeholders.

19. Consultations with public and stakeholders: Comprehensive discussions with MDSC, Sherpur Pourashava officials, community people living near by the proposed Sub-Project schemes, public representatives and other stakeholders to identify different issues, problems/ constraints and prospects and feedback from the participants in connection to water supply schemes to be constructed under the Sub-Project. The consultation covers mainly information dissemination about the project/Sub-Project and its scope, possible positive and negative impacts, involvement of local people in different activities of the project and employment in project works, etc. The public participation process included (i) identifying interested parties (stakeholders); (ii) informing and providing the stakeholders with sufficient background and technical information regarding the proposed development (iii) creating

opportunities and mechanisms whereby they can participate and raise their views (issues, comments, and concerns) with regard to the proposed development; (iv) giving the stakeholders feedback on process findings and recommendations and (v) ensuring compliance to process requirements with regards to the environmental and related legislation.

20. The safeguard team of MDSC visited Sherpur Pourashava on 25/01/2016 and on 26/01/ 2016 and conducted public meeting with community leaders, local public representatives, different stakeholders, including Mayor, Executive Engineer, Assistant Engineer, Sub Assistant Engineers, Councilors of the Pourashava at different places . The purpose of these meetings was public consultations as outlined above. During field visits, the consultants investigated about the existing condition of the water supply alignments and emphasized on the issues like land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation. The participants were also informed of the Sub-Project cut-of date of 15th March 2016 (date of completion of census survey).

21. As a part of public consultation, relevant consultants and Pourashava officials arranged meetings at Pourashava office and at different places of Sub-Project locations. Four formal meetings were arranged by the Pourashava official with the stakeholders. The meeting sites were at New Cow Market, New Bus Terminal (Madtha Gouripur, Pachim Gouripur, Old Arsenic and Iron Removal Plant (AIRP) Compound, Sherpur bus terminal and Sherpur Pourashava from 25.01.16 to 26.01.16. Near about 45 participants were present during the consultation. The main agenda was installation of production tube-well repair & maintenance of production tube-well, installation of water supply pipe line. The potential affected persons and local residents/ community leaders and other stakeholders were also consulted through group meetings and personal contract. During field visits, consultants physically visited the above mentioned scheme sites to verify the likely impacts on the people with respect to land acquisition & resettlement, and other social safeguard issues. During site visits, concern Executive engineer, Assistant Engineer, one Sub Assistant Engineer, and a surveyor of Pourashava accompanied the consultants to assist to identify the locations of proposed water supply sub projects and organized consultations/ meetings with the local representatives and people of the Sub-Project area.

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

23. During discussions, the local people mentioned about the insufficiency of civic facilities, conditions of existing water supply facilities. The people expressed their happiness for getting project assistance for improvement of the Pourashava facilities including water supply. The water supply proposed under the Sub-Project were a long felt demand of the people of the town. The records of public consultations have been shown in Appendix-1

24. Transect walks. The MDSC Regional Resettlement Specialist together with Sherpur Pourashava engineering staff conducted transect walk during January 25 and 26, 2016 to do

rapid appraisal of the proposed locations and alignment of sub-projects using a standard IR checklist annexed with this report as Appendix 2.

Consultation with Mayor & officials of Sherpur Public consultation at Sherpur Pourashava Pourashava

25. Reconnaissance Survey. The project MDSC social safeguard team visited Sherpur Pourashava on July 13, 2015 for preliminary safeguard assessment of water supply subproject to observe and count the number of trees structures, natural resources, mobile vendors/hawkers, and other facilities etc. along ROWs, conduct informal discussions with local communities, formal discussions with Pourashava engineers, and visual assessment of IR impacts. The output of the survey was discussed with the design engineers of the projects to incorporate those into the designs to minimise the IR impacts.

26. Census of affected persons and inventory of affected assets. As nobody was found who may be affected by the Sub-Project activities, no structures to be removed/relocated/demolished, and no mobile hawkers/vendors in the Sub-Project alignments, the census was not required.

27. Social Safeguard Unit of MDSC has verified the proposed water supply sub project through the questionnaire that is titled “Initial Assessment Format”. Through this format, the team members have organized consultation with water supply sub project users and gathered feedback on the sub projects. Finally, it has been concluded that there is no impacts on involuntary resettlement.

IV. FINDINGS

28. Involuntary Resettlement: As per results of the data gathered, detailed survey of the sites and alignments together with review of land records made, the IR Checklist has been completed (Appendix 2). The results show the Sub-Project is considered as Category C, i.e., the Sub-Project does not require temporary or permanent land acquisition, and there is no impact involving the loss of land, structures, crops and trees, businesses or income.

29. The Sub-Project under Package Nr. UGIIP-III-2/SHER/WS/01/2016 will involve construction/ installation of water supply schemes as mentioned in Table-1. MDSC together with PMU has confirmed ownership and land records of Sherpur Pourashava therefore no land acquisition is required. Land ownership certificate is given in Appendix- 6.

30. The Social Safeguard Unit of MDSC for UGIIP-III further verified and checked the water supply sub project through the questionnaire that is titled “Initial Evaluation Assessment Format”. Through this format, the team members have organized consultation with sub project users and gathered feedback on the Sub-Projects. There are no encroachers, squatters, mobile vendors and hawkers along the ROW of proposed water supply sub project. Thus, it has been concluded that there is no IR impact and the Sub-Project is classified as Category C for IR. For recording and documentation purposes, the following are the socio-economic information and profile of survey participants.

i. no BPLs along the proposed water supply alignment ii. no indigenous people (IP) along the proposed water supply alignment.

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

32. Full road closures are not expected during construction phase of the water supply Sub- Project under discussion, and thus will not affect businesses. For narrow road by 3m or less in Widths Classing to the roads will be required after the roads /Pathways will be needed to direct vehicles & pedestrians during the Period of construction and curing. Residents and businesses along the Sub-Project sites may experience temporary impacts such as increased noise, vibration, dust and restriction of vehicles movement during construction phase which can be mitigated through good construction practices as documented in the Sub-Project’s initial environmental examination (IEE) report and environmental management plan (EMP).

33. Although concerned water supply Sub-Project schemes unlikely to have any IR or resettlement impact, however, the construction/ installation of the Sub-Project components may cause minor temporary disturbances limited to dust and noise, movement of people, etc. which will be limited to the construction period only, and can easily be mitigated by quick and timely completion of work.

34. All the above measures will be taken by the contractors during construction as per conditions included in the contract documents. The contractors shall avoid congested areas and narrow roads for carrying construction materials and equipment to site and schedule transportation to avoid peak traffic period on certain roads and sequence activities to minimize disturbances. The contractors shall also maintain vehicles and construction machinery and prohibit the use of air horns in settlement areas. Thus impacts during construction phase can be mitigated through good construction practices as documented in the Sub-Project’s initial environmental examination report and environmental management plan (EMP).

35. Table-02 summaries the assessment of social safeguard impacts. If in the course of Sub-Project implementation land will be required and stakeholders are willing to donate any land, donation procedures will follow the RF and to be endorsed by an independent third party evaluator (e.g., civil society and non-ex officio representatives of the TLCC) to ensure there is no significant social and economic impact due to land donation.

VII. MITIGATION OF SOCIAL CONCERNS

56. Water supply schemes under the Sub-Project of UGIIP-III construction/improvement is not required any land acquisition and involuntary resettlement, physical or economic displacement, or temporary restrictions to land use. However, some assumptions were made that during civil works for different schemes, pedestrians, residents and shop keepers/different business operators carrying out different economic activities particularly beside the road; customers might face temporary disturbances in connection to movement and operate their business. In order to avoid even minor temporary disturbances during the construction activities, the following measures are suggested to eliminate such impacts:  Informing all the residents, local households and traders about the nature and duration of works in advance, so that they can make necessary preparation to face the situation.  Providing wooden walkways/ plank across trenches for pedestrians and metal sheets where vehicles access is required.  Increasing the workforce and using the appropriate equipment to complete the work in a minimum timeframe.  Suggest people to wear musk to protect from dust problem during construction.  Other social concern, if any, shall be properly solved by the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) under the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) of the project to be formed by the PIU.  Any other preventive measures to be adopted as required considering the situation during construction.  The above mitigation measures during construction activities will ease the temporary disturbances in connection to movement and operation business of the local residents, pedestrian customers and clients from shopping locally or using the usual services from local business.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

57. Important findings of the study in connection to social safeguard issues are (i) improvement of the water supply will be carried out following the existing alignment of the roads and will not require land acquisition; (ii) most of the pipeline will be constructed in the road side shoulder along the edge of the road (iii) there are no structures, houses, shops, trees or any other establishments on the ROWs of the proposed water supply alignments; (iv) as a result no dislocation, demolition of houses or structures will be required due to the development activities; (vi) the local people unanimously welcome the project and showed positive attitude to the improvement of the proposed Sub-Project. None was found to oppose the Sub-Project; (vii) urban residents and the rural residents in surrounding hinterland will benefit from improvement of the propose water supply Sub-Project for making available of the pure drinking water; (viii) no potential negative impact could be identified and (ix) business or economic activities will not be impeded resulting losses in income or asset.

58. A due diligence process was conducted for the Sub-Project to examine the IR issues particularly with respect to the requirements of the ADB’s SPS (2009) and ARIPO. The Water supply schemes proposed under the Sub-Project will be of straight forward construction on the existing ROWs. So, implementation of the Sub-Project will neither affect any land nor structure. Any disturbances will be limited to construction period only. The likely impacts are short-term, localized and could easily be avoided or mitigated. The results of the study suggest that the

impact of this Sub-Project does not incur any land acquisition, resettlement or economic displacement.

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

60. Based on the findings presented in this due diligence report, the Sherpur Sub-Project Package Nr.UGIIP-III-02/SHER/WS/01/2016 will not require land acquisition and will not cause involuntary resettlement impacts. There is also no IP identified in the Sub-Project area. Thus it is concluded that the Sub-Project is Category C for IR and Category C for IP as per ADB SPS 2009.

Consultation near Production Tube-well at New Cow Market

Key Issues of Discussion

Key issues Major Findings 1 Water Supply situation The existing water supply system has 11 production tube wells (PTWs) in sherpur pourashava of which 5 were installed in 1982 and 1999 and the remaining 6 were installed in 2011- 2013. At present only 7 PTWs are functioning. Total pipe length is 106 km. with 1 overhead tank. Ground water is the only source. The quality of water is acceptable with proper treatment of iron and manganese content in water. Existing PTWs are not sufficient to meet the present demand of the pourashava. The present water supply system covers about 60% of the HHs. To increase pressure in the pipe line, about 9 km pipeline need to be replaced with construction of service connections and with provision of water meters. To ensure safe drinking water, as per demand of the people, pourashava has given priority in improvement or rehabilitation and expansuon works of water supply system by installation of additional PTWs, optimization of pressure in the existing pipelines, providing service connections with the provision of water meters.

The water supply improvement activities will not need any land acquisition as the activities will be carried out on the existing ROWs and as such there will be no resettlement impact.

2 Service and tax of Most of the residents of the community give tax. But the services they get are not adequate. Pourashava The conditions of roads are not good, drains are not cleaned regularly, water supply system does not cover whole pourashava. The community people are very much willing to pay water tax when service will be provided. When provision of services will be improved, more people will be inspired to pay tax.

3 Local people’s opinions Improvement of water supply system is very essential in Sherpur Pourashava. Some areas on improvement of the people use water from hand tube wells having excessive iron; people also use water from condition of water supply ponds and canals for some domestic purposes. So people sometimes are attacked by water borne diseases. The people opined that, they would be benefited with pure drinking water if water supply system is developed.

4 Community’s willingness to support Pourashava The community people will support the subproject as the water supply improvement activities will not need any land acquisition as the activities will be carried out on the existing ROWs and as such there will be no resettlement / rehabilitation, no private structure will need to be demolished; rather people will be benefited by having pure drinking water.
