Institutional Roles and Responsibilities for Social and Resettlement Safeguards Project Administration Manual Purpose and Process The project administration manual (PAM) describes the essential administrative and management requirements to implement the project on time, within budget, and in accordance with the policies and procedures of the government and Asian Development Bank (ADB). The PAM should include references to all available templates and instructions either through linkages to relevant URLs or directly incorporated in the PAM. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) and Department of Public Works and Transport (DPWT) are wholly responsible for the implementation of ADB-financed projects, as agreed jointly between the borrower and ADB, and in accordance with the policies and procedures of the government and ADB. ADB staff is responsible for supporting implementation including compliance by MPWT and DPWT of their obligations and responsibilities for project implementation in accordance with ADB’s policies and procedures. At loan negotiations, the borrower and ADB shall agree to the PAM and ensure consistency with the loan agreement. Such agreement shall be reflected in the minutes of the loan negotiations. In the event of any discrepancy or contradiction between the PAM and the loan agreement, the provisions of the loan agreement shall prevail. After ADB Board approval of the project's report and recommendations of the President (RRP), changes in implementation arrangements are subject to agreement and approval pursuant to relevant government and ADB administrative procedures (including the Project Administration Instructions) and upon such approval, they will be subsequently incorporated in the PAM. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Summary 1. The project will improve urban environmental services in Battambang, Serei Saopohoan and Stung Saen, three of Cambodia’s provincial cities located around the Tonle Sap lake. The project will also improve institutional effectiveness to provide sustainable services and support an improved policy and planning environment for wastewater and solid waste management. B. Impact and Outcome 2. Impact: Sustainable, inclusive, equitable and resilient growth achieved. 3. Outcome: Urban services improved in participation cities C. Outputs 4. Output 1: Urban infrastructure improved. The project will finance (i) a new 4,800 cubic meters (m3)/day capacity WWTP, 87 kilometers (km) of new sewers and a 350,000 m3 landfill in Battambang; (ii) a new 2,300 m3/day capacity WWTP, 39 km of new sewers, 17 km drainage network and a 48,000 m3 landfill in Stueng Saen; and (iii) a new 2,500 m3/day capacity WWTP, 78 km of new sewers, 8.5 km drainage network and 130,000 m3 landfill in Serei Saophoan.1 It will also finance free house latrines for 760 poor households. The design of the WWTP, access roads, and drainage network will factor disaster and climate risk considerations. 5. Output 2: Institutional effectiveness improved. The project will strengthen institutional effectiveness through improving staff capacity in critical areas (including improved urban service delivery, O&M of urban facilities, public private partnerships and other institutional arrangements), supporting the establishment of urban service units, and dedicated consultant support for project management. 6. Output 3: Policy and planning environment improved. The project will develop urban development strategies and master plans for all three cities. It will develop a road map for financial sustainability for wastewater and solid waste (including a proposed road map and arrangement for tariffs, and mechanism for ensuring household connections). It will build community awareness on the benefits of proper sanitation and separate sewage systems and safe disposal of solid waste. 1 The service area for the sewerage network includes the core town areas in each city, covering 20%–30% of each city’s population. The project will finance free household connections to the sewer system (i.e., the line from the sewer to the boundary of the property). It also allocates financing for on-site plumbing (i.e., plumbing needed within the boundary of the property), which it will provide as a subsidy to identified poor households. The government may choose to recover all or part of this cost from the remaining households. The service area for solid waste covers 50%–75% of each city’s population. 2 II. IMPLEMENTATION PLANS A.
