Public Disclosure Authorized MINISTRY OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL DUE DILIGENCE ON THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPES FOR RESILIENCE AND DEVELOPMENT IN ZAMBIA Public Disclosure Authorized PROCESS FRAMEWORK Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized November 2018 1 | P a g e EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Transforming Landscapes for Resilience and Development in Zambia (TRALARD-Zambia) be implemented in the Northern Region of Zambia(NRZ). The project will build on the programmatic approach agreed upon by stakeholders for the implementation of the PPCR in Western Province of Zambia and lessons learnt to cover a number of thematic areas including biodiversity, forest, and watershed, among others to support one of the poorest regions in the country by integrating livelihood improvement with natural resource sustainability. The interventions will operationalize landscape approaches to contribute to the national forest landscapes restoration requirements as well as enhance resilience and development in the NRZ and deepen the work in southern region of the country. This Process Framework (PF) has been prepared to contribute to the smooth execution of the Project by providing guidelines to address potential adverse social (particularly, livelihood) impacts. An Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) report and a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) have also been prepared as separate documents. PURPOSE OF PROCESS FRAMEWORK This process framework has been prepared because the TRALARD Project may cause restrictions in access to natural resources in legally designated parks and protected areas. The process framework applies regardless of the number of people affected; whether or not they will benefit from project activities; and whether or not they are fully satisfied with the provisions for compensation, relocation, or rehabilitation, as relevant. The purpose of this process framework is to establish a process by which members of potentially affected communities will participate in the design of Project components, determination of measures necessary to achieve resettlement policy objectives, and implementation and monitoring of relevant Project activities. Specifically, this process framework describes participatory processes by which the following activities will be accomplished: • Project components will be prepared and implemented and briefly describes the Project and components or activities that may involve new or more stringent restrictions on natural resource use. It also describes the process by which potentially displaced persons participate in the Project design; • Criteria for eligibility of affected persons will be determined. It establishes that potentially affected communities will be involved in identifying any adverse impacts, assessing of the significance of impacts, and establishing of the criteria for eligibility for any mitigating or compensating measures necessary; • Measures to assist affected persons in their efforts to improve their livelihoods or restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels, while maintaining the sustainability of the park or protected area will be identified. It describes methods and procedures by which communities will identify and choose potential mitigating or compensating measures to be provided to those adversely affected, and procedures by which adversely affected community members will decide among the options available to them; and • Potential conflicts or grievances within or between affected communities will be resolved. It describes the process for resolving disputes relating to resource use restrictions that may 1 | P a g e arise between or among affected communities, and grievances that may arise from members of communities who are dissatisfied with the eligibility criteria, community planning measures, or actual implementation. Additionally, the process framework describes arrangements relating to Administrative and legal procedures as well as monitoring arrangements. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The development objective of TRALARD is to increase the ecosystem resilience and land productivity within vulnerable landscapes and, in the event of an eligible crisis or emergency, to provide immediate and effective response to the eligible crisis or emergency.The PDO will be achieved through: (a) Institutional Development and Capacity Building for Landscape Restoration and Resilience, (b) Sustainable Landscape Management Practices, (c) Contingency Emergency Response, and (d) Project Management and Monitoring. STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION The PF preparation included stakeholder consultations, and the key Project stakeholders identified for consultations included government ministries, government agencies, NGOs, royal establishments, community leaders and local communities in the study area. Meetings were held with key officials and opinion leaders to gauge the level of awareness and involvement with the proposed Project, concerns of Project implementation, and to obtain relevant documents or baseline information. The consultations also served to gather information on institutional mandates and permitting requirements to inform the development of the project. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL BASELINE The project will be implemented in the Northern region of Zambia (NRZ). This comprises three provinces namely Luapula; Northern; and Muchinga, and covers a total area of 216, 023 square kilometres with a total population of 2, 809, 408. The NRZ lies in the third ecological zone with annual rainfall of about 1200mm. The region is also endowed with natural resources that include rich biodiversity, natural lakes, rivers and national parks and waterfalls among others. Notwithstanding these resource endowments, the region ranks poorly in socio-economic development. The primary economic activities include subsistence agriculture, fishing and exploitation of forest resource. PF PROCESSES The PF was developed by carrying out a number of activities including the following: literature review; stakeholder analysis; analysis of baseline environmental and social data; site visits and field assessments; interviews and focus group discussions; and the analysis of WB safeguard policies and Zambian policies, legislation and international agreements. This PF details the processes, procedures and requirements through which the project activities will be implemented to ensure compliance with WB safeguards and Zambian policies and legislation. It also details the measures through which the livelihoods of the affected persons will be restored, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels, while maintaining the sustainability of protected areas. 2 | P a g e ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS CSA Climate Smart Agriculture CSO Civil Society Organization/ Central Statistical Office DDCC District Development Coordinating Committee DNPW Department of National Parks and Wildlife DPCU District Program Coordination Unit EA Environmental Assessment EAC Environmental Assessment Committee EIA Environmental Impact Assessment EIS Environmental Impact Statement EMA Environmental Management Act EPB Environmental Project Brief EPPCA Environmental Protection and Pollution Control Act ESIA Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ESMF Environmental and Social Management Framework ESMP Environmental and Social Management Plan FD Forestry Department FMP Forest Management Plans FR Forest Reserve GEF Global Environmental Facility GHG Greenhouse Gas GMA Game Management Area GRZ Government of the Republic of Zambia HDI Human Development Index M&E Monitoring and Evaluation MDAs Ministries, Departments and Agencies MDG Millennium Development Goal MLNREP Ministry of Lands, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection MNDP Ministry of National Development Planning MRV Measuring, Reporting and Verification MTEF Medium Term Expenditure Framework NAPA National Adaptation Program of Action NBSAP National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan NCCRS National Climate Change Response Strategy NDCC National Development Coordinating Committee NHCC National Heritage Conservation Commission NP National Park NPIU National Program Unit NRP National Resettlement Policy NWFP Non Wood Forest Product OP Operational Policy PDCC Provincial Development Coordinating Committee PDO Project Development Objective PF Process Framework PIU Project Implementation Unit PPCR Pilot Program for Climate Resistance 3 | P a g e PPCU Provincial Program Coordination Unit PPSC Provincial Planning Sub-committee PPU Provincial Planning Unit RAP Resettlement Action Plan REDD+ Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation REL Reference Emission Level RPF Resettlement Policy Framework SESA Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment SI Statutory Instrument ToR Terms of Reference TRALARD Transforming Landscapes for Resilience and Development UNCCD United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification UNCED United Nations Conference on Environment and Development UNFCCC United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change WDC Ward Development Committee ZEMA Zambia Environmental Management Agency 4 | P a g e Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ............................................................................................................... 1 ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS ............................................................................................ 3 1.

    Living Conditions Monitoring Survey Report (1996), Lusaka, Zambia

    CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW ON ZAMBIA 1.1. Introduction Zambia is a landlocked sub-Saharan country sharing boundaries with Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania. The country covers a land area of 752,612 square kilometers. It lies between 8 and 18 degrees South latitudes and longitudes 22 and 34 degrees East. About 58 percent of Zambia’s total land area of 39 million hectares is classified as having medium to high potential for agricultural production, but less than half of potential arable land is cultivated. The country is prone to drought due to erratic rainfall, as its abundant water resources remain largely untapped. Zambia has some of the largest copper and cobalt deposits in the world. 1.2. Land and the People Zambia’s population was first comprehensively recorded at 5.7 million in 1980. It increased to 7.8 million and 9.9 million in 1990 and 2000, respectively. The population has over the years remained young, with about 45 percent of the population below 15 years (CSO, 2000). The country’s average population density is 13 persons per square kilometer, while Lusaka Province (hosting the capital city of Lusaka) has the highest average of 64 persons per sq km. Although Zambia is endowed with many languages, derived from 73 ethnic groups, there are seven major languages that are used besides English for official purposes (such as broadcasting and dissemination of information). These are Bemba, Kaonde, Lozi, Lunda, Luvale, Nyanja and Tonga. 1.3. Politics and Administration Politically, Zambia has undergone phases of both multi-partism and one party rule.

    Agrarian Changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia

    7 Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia Davison J Gumbo, Kondwani Y Mumba, Moka M Kaliwile, Kaala B Moombe and Tiza I Mfuni Summary Over the past decade issues pertaining to land sharing/land sparing have gained some space in the debate on the study of land-use strategies and their associated impacts at landscape level. State and non-state actors have, through their interests and actions, triggered changes at the landscape level and this report is a synthesis of some of the main findings and contributions of a scoping study carried out in Zambia as part of CIFOR’s Agrarian Change Project. It focuses on findings in three villages located in the Nyimba District. The villages are located on a high (Chipembe) to low (Muzenje) agricultural land-use gradient. Nyimba District, which is located in the country’s agriculturally productive Eastern Province, was selected through a two-stage process, which also considered another district, Mpika, located in Zambia’s Muchinga Province. The aim was to find a landscape in Zambia that would provide much needed insights into how globally conceived land-use strategies (e.g. land-sharing/land-sparing trajectories) manifest locally, and how they interact with other change processes once they are embedded in local histories, culture, and political and market dynamics. Nyimba District, with its history of concentrated and rigorous policy support in terms of agricultural intensification over different epochs, presents Zambian smallholder farmers as victims and benefactors of policy pronouncements. This chapter shows Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia • 235 the impact of such policies on the use of forests and other lands, with agriculture at the epicenter.
  • The Case of Honey in Zambia the Case

    The Case of Honey in Zambia the Case

    Small-scale with outstanding economic potential enterprises woodland-based In some countries, honey and beeswax are so important the term ‘beekeeping’ appears in the titles of some government ministries. The significance of honey and beeswax in local livelihoods is nowhere more apparent than in the Miombo woodlands of southern Africa. Bee-keeping is a vital source of income for many poor and remote rural producers throughout the Miombo, often because it is highly suited to small scale farming. This detailed Non-Timber Forest Product study from Zambia examines beekeeping’s livelihood role from a range of perspectives, including market factors, production methods and measures for harnessing beekeeping to help reduce poverty.

  • The Political Ecology of a Small-Scale Fishery, Mweru-Luapula, Zambia

    The Political Ecology of a Small-Scale Fishery, Mweru-Luapula, Zambia

    Managing inequality: the political ecology of a small-scale fishery, Mweru-Luapula, Zambia Bram Verelst1 University of Ghent, Belgium 1. Introduction Many scholars assume that most small-scale inland fishery communities represent the poorest sections of rural societies (Béné 2003). This claim is often argued through what Béné calls the "old paradigm" on poverty in inland fisheries: poverty is associated with natural factors including the ecological effects of high catch rates and exploitation levels. The view of inland fishing communities as the "poorest of the poorest" does not imply directly that fishing automatically lead to poverty, but it is linked to the nature of many inland fishing areas as a common-pool resources (CPRs) (Gordon 2005). According to this paradigm, a common and open-access property resource is incapable of sustaining increasing exploitation levels caused by horizontal effects (e.g. population pressure) and vertical intensification (e.g. technological improvement) (Brox 1990 in Jul-Larsen et al. 2003; Kapasa, Malasha and Wilson 2005). The gradual exhaustion of fisheries due to "Malthusian" overfishing was identified by H. Scott Gordon (1954) and called the "tragedy of the commons" by Hardin (1968). This influential model explains that whenever individuals use a resource in common – without any form of regulation or restriction – this will inevitably lead to its environmental degradation. This link is exemplified by the prisoner's dilemma game where individual actors, by rationally following their self-interest, will eventually deplete a shared resource, which is ultimately against the interest of each actor involved (Haller and Merten 2008; Ostrom 1990). Summarized, the model argues that the open-access nature of a fisheries resource will unavoidably lead to its overexploitation (Kraan 2011).

    Evaluation of Improving Household Food Security and Nutrition in the Luapula Valley Project (IHFSAN) Report of the Evaluation Mission November 2001 Preface The following draft report represents the views of the independent evaluation mission on the performance and achievements of the IHFSAN (Improving Household Food Security and Nutrition in the Luapula Valley) project. The evaluation was initiated with a view to providing the donor, collaborating agencies and FAO with an independent and objective assessment of the current status of implementation of the project, including a review of problems faced. The mission started on 16 September 2001 and ended on 5 October 2001; nine communities involved in the IHFSAN project were visited and numerous collaborators at field, district and provincial level were met. In addition, the mission visited relevant offices in Lusaka. The evaluation was a challenging task given the complex history of the project, the amount of reports, correspondence etc. produced, as well as the relative scarcity of information available on the project’s outcomes and impact. The evaluation mission is most appreciative of the efforts made by the staff and management of IHFSAN, the GRZ officers in the districts visited, and the FAO representation, as well as a range of other individuals who provided information and discussed issues in a frank and constructive manner. The community groups met provided valuable insights and always gave a warm welcome to the mission. In the districts, brainstorming sessions were organized with district officers and Community Support Staff (CSS), which produced sometimes surprising results. The draft report has also benefited from briefings and discussions with ESNP (nutrition), AGPC (crop production) and AGSM (marketing and rural finance) staff members at FAO headquarters in Rome.
