1. INTRODUCTION

1. The Maritime and Waterways Safety Project (MWSP) is jointly funded by the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through Loan 2978-PNG. The Loan Agreement was signed on the 29th of January 2013. The Executing Agency is the National Maritime Safety Authority (NMSA).

2. The MWSP aims at improving safety and efficiency of international and national shipping in coastal areas and waterways in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by replacing, installing and maintaining navigational aids (navaids), improving maritime safety information infrastructure, improving maritime safety practice of communities, and providing efficient project management and capacity development.

3. The MWSP originally involved the maintenance of 99 existing navigational aids and installation of 33 new ones across the 14 provinces in PNG. However as a result of customary land issues at a number of sites prompted reviews of land acquisition. The total of 104 navaids sites from the last reporting period remained unchanged and are cleared of issues after the last updates. The project is expected to have limited and or minor land acquisition of about 10 meters by 10 meters of mostly of sea-bed, reefs, or foreshore. Also it is unlikely to have displacement of people or resettlement impacts, as most sub-projects are existing infrastructures and rehabilitation works will be undertaken in the sea and within existing location.

4. According to ADB reporting requirement as stipulated in its Safeguards Policy Statements 2009 (SPS 2009), the MWSP Project Management Unit through its community development team prepared a semi-annual monitoring report basis on safeguard matters, although there is no displacement of people or assets for this project.

5. This social safeguard monitoring report covers project activities from July to December 2018. There were no field visits to the navaid sites and or to affected communities during this period, however there were trips under taken by PMU to , and to collect Land Investigation Reports from the provincial land’s office.

6. The following paragraphs describe in brief the project background, social safeguard requirements, resettlement processes and the community engagement programme (CEP), which involves two field visits to each community per navaid site as a minimum and one courtesy visit to the respective provincial government administrations, where the navaids will be installed.

7. Then a short overview is given on implementation of project activities during the reporting period. A table is attached in Appendix A, which provides a summary of the main outcomes and outputs per community, lists all signed agreements in regard to land acquisition and other social safeguard requirements, any land disputes in the communities, planned mediation processes and further steps how to overcome these problems.

8. A monitoring of the consultation process has started whereas resettlement and social assessments in communities have been initiated as a prerequisite for installation of planned navaids. Any socio-economic impact of people’s life in regard to project activities can be monitored after the first installation of the navaid and first installment of land lease payments to customary landowners and Community Lighthouse Committees (CLC).

9. Detailed activity reports with meeting minutes, signed agreements, due diligence reports for resettlement and photos of sites and communities are not attached to this report but were submitted in quarterly progress reports to ADB.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

10. The Project has four main outputs:

I. Originally the project requires the installation of 33 new navaids, replacement of 99 existing navaids, and maintenance of installed and replaced navaids as located in the various Maritime Provinces. As of December 2018, the number of new navaids to be installed and navaids to be replaced has reduced to 76 and 28 respectively.

II. Improvement of safety information, infrastructure, comprising hydrographic surveys, installation of five (5) new AIS transponders and the replacement of three (3) others, and installation of four (4) tide gauges.

III. Improvement of maritime safety practice of communities, comprising of community engagement programs for maritime safety awareness activities and small craft safety training activities.

IV. Provision of efficient project management and capacity development, comprising of establishment of a Project Implementing Unit (PIU), support to manage and implement the project, and engagement and training of staff in operating the safety and hydrographic information infrastructure of NMSA.

11. The impact will be safer and enhanced access to socioeconomic opportunities for communities in PNG and regional and international stakeholders. The project is expected to produce benefits for rural and remote populations as well as the national and international population.

12. The Project has been classified B under ADB SPS (2009) for environment and social category. Framework documents have been prepared to describe the safeguard requirements for the project. NMSA as executing agency has overall responsibility to comply with safeguard requirements.

13. The PIU of the project employed two Community and Land Coordinators (national, whole project duration) and a Gender, Community and Lands Specialist (international, intermittent) as part of the community development team.

1. METHODOLOGY

14. Social safeguards and resettlement in this project include inter alia a community engagement programme (CEP) and land acquisition of customary land both on and at sea. Involuntary resettlement and displacement of people will not be required as most navaids will be installed in the seabed or on locations on land, which mark a cliff or a rock. In most cases, no vegetation or asset is removed.

15. The resettlement process involves land acquisition of customary land on a lease basis for 20 years. Most sites are under water and will be leased from the local traditional landowners. The proposed size of land under water is 20 m x 20 m and on land 10 m x 10 m. The lease is signed between NMSA and respective landowners. The Land Investigation Report (LIR) is initiated by officers from Department of Lands and Physical Planning (DLPP) and provincial land officers. Land acquisition processes follow legal procedures of PNG government as disclosed in the Land Act 1996 (currently under review).

2. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM (CEP)

16. The CEP comprises of several phases of stakeholder consultations, which have to be followed before any installation of the navaid can proceed.

6

17. The first phase includes courtesy visits to the provincial administrations. The main aim of these visits is to introduce the project to the Provincial Administrator (PA), Governor and respective officers from Land, Law and Justice, Planning and Local Level Government. The project team expects to get information from the lands officers about the communities located nearest to the planned site to identify the right landowners.

18. After receiving information from the lands officers and provincial administrations, the team conducts first visits to communities. The main purpose of these visits is to conduct awareness about the installation of the navaid/beacon and the project. The first consultation with communities is done by the community, environment and engineering project teams. Officers from provincial and national lands divisions/department, a surveyor and a valuer also join the team.

19. Whilst the community team conducts the awareness about the project, the engineering team assesses the sites with local permission and attendance. It is crucial that people in villages accept the installation of the navaid and that elder, councilors and landowners gives their permission to the project team to inspect the sites. By accepting and understanding the purpose of the project, community representatives sign a Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), which is a precondition of continuing project activities. The form is pre - signed by NMSA CEO; one original is within the community and the other original remains in the project office.

20. A checklist retrieved from the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) is filled during each community visit and a due diligence report prepared for each site.

21. During community meetings, the MWSP CD team also discloses grievance redress mechanisms and explains further steps of the community programme. All awareness material about the project is prepared by the CD team and distributed in community meetings, which are recorded and filed in the office. Main emphasis is laid on gender balance, when it comes to decision making for the navaid installation, land issues and representation in public discussions.

22. The second phase of community consultations is focused around land acquisition and community representation by forming a Community Lighthouse Committee (CLC). The Community Lighthouse Committee is established to monitor the lighthouse and to ensure that no vandalism acts occur to the lighthouse.

23. The CLC is responsible for the security of the lighthouse and to report any outage or damage of lights. It is bounded by the Community Security and Lighthouse Monitoring Agreement (CSLMA). The term of this agreement is for twenty (20) years.

24. Fees are paid once the lighthouses are installed and are tested to be functioning. Whilst the LIR is conducted by officers from DLPP and provincial/district lands offices with assistance from the CD project team, the whole process around forming of CLC is solely the responsibility of the CD project team. Village Councillors and Ward Recorders assist the team in retrieving information through community profiles and collecting socio - economic baseline data through survey questionnaires.

25. Awareness about safe practice at sea for small craft operators and community members are part of the awareness programme during the second visits. These trips last approximately two to three days per community. Distribution of HIV/AIDS material and a short introduction on transmission, background and social impact is done by Community and Lands Coordinators, who have been trained and certified during the inception phase of the Project.

3. GENDER

26. The project has a Gender Action Plan, which was modified in a workshop with relevant stakeholders in 2015. It lays strong emphasis on developing equal gender participation in

7

decision making processes and consultations on the community, administrative and management level whenever possible. Cultural constraints and differences especially in decision making processes about landownership in matrilineal and patrilineal societies were discussed and appropriate amendments done. The GAP identifies and addresses gender issues in project activities and formulates indicators for outputs and impacts. Regular monitoring is provided and updates on the GAP are submitted in the Quarterly Reports. The CD team implements gender awareness in community consultations and visits to the provincial administrations. Women are encouraged to express their opinions about the proposed navaid installations and are active members of the community lighthouse committee (CLC) and signatories to the committee account. The CLC agreement, which is signed by NMSA and the CLC executive members includes a clause that 20% of funds spent for communal activities must benefit women and girls. At the end of each year, the CLCs have to prepare reports, which then will be monitored by NMSA. So far, the installation of navaids has not been completed. Monitoring of the CLC reports will start after the installation of the first navaids have been completed.

27. According to the GAP a gender policy should be established for NMSA. Consultations took place with external stakeholders and selected NMSA staff before meetings were held within NMSA to solicit views and opinions on a gender policy for NMSA. After the consultation meetings, a workshop was conducted to initiate the first stages of preparing the policy. It was during this time that the name of this policy was agreed upon, namely, National Maritime Safety Authority Gender Equity and Social Inclusive (NMSA GESI) Policy.

4. ACTIVITIES UPDATES FROM JULY TO DECEMBER 2018.

28. As of July 2018, the project has three proposed navaid packages distributed over 12 Maritime Provinces in Papua New Guinea. After the list was updated 104 installations are planned in total. Package 1 includes 48 navaids, 44 in and 4 in Central Province. Package 2 is geographically scattered over the New Guinea Islands Region, which includes Autonomous Region of Bougainville (ARB), New Ireland (NIP) and Manus (MP); East New Britain (ENB) and West New Britain (WNB) Provinces. A total of 20 navaids are listed in package 2. Package 3 involves the main coastline of Papua New Guinea and includes six Provinces. The total number of sites in Package 3 is 36. Package 4 has since been removed from the list.

29. The list of confirmed sites has been changed due to various reasons. The issues in communities, which could not be solved by mediation or during consultations therefore led to cancellation of these sites (see in detail Appendix A). Most navaids are new as they require new structures to be installed thus the increase from 33 to 76 new navaids, while the number of navaids to be replaced has reduced to 28 navaids as these are existing structures.

30. No field visits were conducted in the period covered by this report as all field visits were completed in 2017. The PIU Community and Lands Coordinator travelled to Alotau, Popondetta and Misima to collect the LIRs. The outstanding LIRs that are yet to be collected are from Misima, currently the LIRs are in the Provincial Lands Office, Alotau for correction purposes.

31. Land and resettlement activities in the reporting period focused on follow ups for the Land Investigation Reports (LIRs) for Packages 1-3 and all necessary documents like survey plans and valuation reports. Status of LIRs can be seen in detail in Table 1.

5. OUTPUTS FOR ACTIVITIES JULY – DECEMBER 2018

I) Navaids

32. There is no change to the number of navaids. The CD team met with ADB on 13 June 2018 to discuss further the finalisation of lease agreements. ADB made it as major pre-condition to extend the project to fulfil safeguards requirements as stated in the PAM. The project CD team tried to explain that they have little influence on the land acquisition process as different

8

Departments and provincial administrations are involved. Once the LIRs are initiated and submitted to DLPP, the team can only follow-up with no interference in the land acquisition process. ADB stated that the condition for civil works would be after the appeal period (21 days gazette) and for MWSP to write to ADB showing that there is money available to pay for leases. MWSP drafted a letter and it was signed and sent to ADB stating that there is money (funds) available to pay leases to respective landowners for 65 customary sites.

33. In another meeting with ADB and Project Management on 10 July 2018, GCLS briefed on updates of valuations, which were still pending with DLPP (only 11 out of 65 were signed and received at that time). She advised that after the gazette period of 21 days, DLPP will prepare the leases, which then must be signed by NMSA and respective affected people (landowners).

34. A proposed schedule for execution of 65 lease agreement signing between NMSA and land owners has been prepared by NMSA and submitted to ADB and Lands Department. It is anticipated that the execution of lease signing will happen in January to March 2019. It will coincide with the installation works taking during implementation.

35. PIU Community and Lands Coordinators did a weekly follow-up at DLPP for COAs and valuation reports.

II) Land Acquisition Process

36. By the end of July DLPP submitted 48 valuation certificates, which is a significant number to finalise the lease instruments. The forty-eight valuation reports are for sites in East New Britain (2), New Ireland (5), Autonomous Region of Bougainville (8), Manus (1), East Sepik (1), Morobe (2), Oro (4) and Milne Bay (25). In mid-August, the DLPP again submitted some more valuation reports for package three sites; Milne Bay Province (6) and Morobe (1). Only 10 valuation reports outstanding – Budibudi (1), Central (5), Vanimo (1) and Popondetta (4).

37. During this reporting period, DLPP submitted five Certificates of Alienability (COAs) for Popondetta (4) and Vanimo (1). A total of 57 COAs received so far; package 1 with 22 COAs for Milne Bay Province, (15) COAs for package two and 20 COAs for package 3. The outstanding COA’s are for the 8 sites in package 1 in Milne Bay province.

38. Since the last reporting period, the total number of survey received remained unchanged for all three packages. Outstanding surveys (4) for central Province and (1) for Budibudi Island.

39. As of December 2018, the project has in total 65 LIRs initiated of which 62 are signed and stamped and copies are available in the project office. Those LIRs that are yet to be stamped are for Milne Bay (3). There are also a total 60 registered survey plans and 55 valuation reports signed and stamped which are also in the Project office. Also 57 Certificates of Alienability were awarded, and the copies are in the MWSP office. The table in Appendix A gives details of the status of the land acquisition process.

6. GRIEVANCE REDRESS

40. During the reporting period, the CALC made short trips to six Provinces to collect the LIRs that were still with the PLOs/CLOs and also to make outstanding payments for mediators. Since the last reporting period all the LIRs for Morobe, Vanimo, and Oro were successfully endorsed (signed and stamped) by their respective Provincial Administrators. As for the three LIRs in Misima, the PLO is still amending and correcting the documents for endorsement.

41. The trip to was in the first and second week of November to make outstanding payments for the mediators that provides services for approval mediation agreement in November 2016. The CALC also travel to East New Britain Province to follow up on the sub- lease documents for Pidgeon Island on the 6th.12.2018.

7. CONCLUSION

42. Social safeguard monitoring and reporting follows the same described pattern of activities. The most unpredictable component in the community engagement programme is the land acquisition as landownership is a main cultural identity; families and clans in communities have different opinion and interests, which should be treated sensitively.

43. Part of the land acquisition process which the project is directly involves with have been completed which includes the initial visits for the LIR and site assessments for the surveyors and valuers. All LIRs have completed by the respective PLOs/ CLOs. Now the rest of the process is within DLPP and other line government agencies before the lease instruments can be issued.

8. Recommended Activities:

44. The PMU CALCs will continuously follow-up with respective officers within DLPP with the LIRs and valuation reports. The CALCs will ensure that all documents required by the officers are delivered to them.

45. Work will continue on the NMSA’s GESI Policy.
