I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. The SASEC Road Improvement Project (SRIP) is rehabilitating and upgrading 160 kilometers (km) of one of Nepal’s strategic road networks, which comprises a critical section of the country’s main East–West highway 115 km of Narayanghat – Butwal section, and the feeder road 45km Bhairahawa – Lumbini – Taulihawa road. The project will contribute to poverty reduction and support the economic development of rural communities through (i) improving connectivity and accessibility of markets, headquarters and other centers of economic activity; (ii) year-round all-weather road connections; and (iii) improving DOR capacity for managing road construction/ improvement and maintenance.

2. The road connects Bhairahawa, Rupendhi district to Taulihawa, headquarter of Kapilvastu district. It serves the access road to Lumbini, birth place of Gautam Buddha, which is also the cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO. It connects Gautam Buddha International airport in Rupendehi district. 3. The Bhairahawa-Taulihawa Section, designated as a feeder road (No. F44 up to Lumbini and No. F45 up to Taulihawa) as DoR starts from Buddha Chowk at Bhairahawa in Rupandehi District, in the Province no five, which lies approximately 274 km west of Kathmandu. The road passes mostly through the plain section of Rupandehi and Kapilbastu districts and ends at Hospital Chowk in Taulihawa. The Bhairahawa- Lumbini - Taulihawa road was constructed by the Government of Nepal in 1973. The project road crosses the Lumbini heritage place, agricultural land, rivers, and settlements.

• The Narayanghat – Butwal road section of the East – West Highway will be widened/ improved to 4 lane road, except the Daunne Section (chainage 67+822 – 75+000 km) which will have 3 lanes including a climbing lane from present 2 lane road.

• Bhairahawa - Lumbini - Taulihawa (BLT) road section will be widened/ upgraded to 4 lane road from 2 lanes up to Lumbini (Parsa) junction (Chainage0+000 – 18+130 km). The remaining section from Parsa junction to Taulihawa will have 2 lane road widened from single lane.The following table shows details of the Contract-wise project packages.

21. As per the detailed measurement survey report, a total of 13 private structures and 8 community structures are affected. The affected 11 HHs and 2 nos oil filling stations are informal settlers without legal title to the land which is part of RoW. 22. The Project Manager have forwarded the list to the Compensation Determination Committee (CDC) for valuation of the assets. The CDC has decided the compensation amount for affected structures and compensation payment is under process.

Progress in Payment of Affected Households

23. The Detail Measurement surveys have been completed in January 2018. There is not required private land acquisition as the available ROW of the road is sufficient for construction activities. The Compensation determination committee has decided the compensation amount of affected structures of BLT road. The project manager Office is preparing and verifying the documents of affected structures owners for compensation payments. In Narayanghat- Butawal Road, the compensation determination process is yet to be started.

Assistance to Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Allowances

24. The reconstruction and rehabilitation allowance cover the housing displacement and business displacement allowances. The Entitlement matrix (EM: B-2) provisions a reconstruction and shifting allowance for households whose houses need to be relocated will receive a reconstruction and shifting allowance equivalent to 10 % of replacement cost of structure or

9

equivalent to the actual cost of the transportation allowances. The affected owners will get such allowance during compensation payment.

Additional Assistance to the Vulnerable Groups

25. Based on the census data, there are 7 vulnerable households of different categories. The Entitlement matrix (EM: B-1-E-1. E-2, E-3.and F-1-b,c) provisions cash compensation for such vulnerable households, equivalent to three Months wage. Additional assistance to such vulnerable groups need to be distributed only after the finalization of resettlement impact and its extent, and confirmation of the vulnerability of the households in close collaboration with the local communities and CDC. The census survey found that 7 households are vulnerable. The additional assistance for vulnerable people is under process.

Compensation for loss of Livelihood

26. The entitlement matrix has various provisions for the loss of income, loss of business income, loss of wages, loss of crops and loss of fruit trees. According to the survey, 10 shop owners will lose their income as their commercial structure will be affected. These households will be eligible to one month of monthly income (EM : E-2).

Livelihood/Skills Enhancement Program

27. The Livelihood/Skills Enhancement Training will be provided for one member of each of the vulnerable households. Training courses will be identified through a needs assessment of the participants. Examples of training courses are vegetable farming (Off seasonal vegetable production) poultry farming, cattle rising, sewing classes, etc. The CSC livelihood expert will conduct the assessment and facilitate the training program implementation through coordination with line agencies. 28. In addition to the compensation to the affected assets, The AP will receive assistance in income generation and livelihood restoration activities. The project shall provide short-term training packages to the affected households in livelihood restoration and skill enhancement activities. The progress on training packages will be covered in next semi-annual safeguard monitoring reports.

Status of Other Social Activities

29. Other social impacts related to the project and their associated mitigation measures are regularly being monitored by the CSC team. These include: campsite management, health and safety measures, wage rates and child labor. During site visits, the contractors have been made aware of maintaining compliances of the social activities as per social safeguard documents of the project. The contractors are paying greater attention to social safeguard issues during road construction.

V. MONITORING

30. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MoPIT), is the Executing Agency (EA) and Project Management Unit (PMU) is the Implementing Agency (IA) for this project. The PMU is coordinating social safeguards planning and implementation and ensures that the resettlement plans are properly implemented at the field level. The PM office in Bhairahawa implements and monitors the resettlement plan with the support from the Resettlement Specialist from the

10

construction supervision consultant. The PM is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the resettlement plan, ensuring that this is carried out in compliance with the project resettlement principles, the resettlement framework, and with the loan agreement. The CSC will provide capacity-building orientation and skills training, as needed to concerned personnel of the PM. The CSC will ensure that the contractors adhere with the terms of their contract relative to avoiding and/ or minimizing resettlement impacts. The PMU and CSC will monitor the grievances records at the field level.

VI. REASONS FOR DELAY IN RP IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS

31. The RP implementation has been delayed for the following reasons:

• Due to the local and provincial elections in November and December 2017, it was difficult to get time from the Chief District Officer (CDO) and CDC members.

• The construction of the Narayanghat Butawal road has not yet to be started. The PD office has cancelled the first bidding process and second time bidding process is under process.

• The confusion caused by the delay in mobilizing the NB road contractors caused delay in recruiting Social Mobilizers.

• Normally resettlement activities are supposed to be completed before the beginning of civil work. The activities in the project started only after the mobilization of the contractors. Delay in the finalization of the Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) caused delay in the overall RP implementation. Delay in the mobilization of officials in related governmental agencies further slowed down the process.

• The resettlement activities incorporate survey of land, measurement of structure and trees, engineering design development, valuation of structures trees, crops, and compensation disbursement etc. These activities require the cooperation, coordination and mobilizations of numbers of government stakeholder organizations including District Survey Office, District land Revenue Office, District Forest Office, District Technical Office, Division Office for Urban Development and Building Construction, and District Administration Office. These offices are busy with their own tasks and often fail to allocate the time required for resettlement activities.

• Civil societies and community people are involved in grievances redress, compensation distribution, resettlement and livelihood activities through project level committees, grievances redress committees, and others. The process consumes time.

• The non-title holders of affected structure owners lack documents to prove that the structure belongs to them. The DOR requires justification before paying compensation, which can be difficult to obtain. The justification process takes time.

VII. GESI ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

32. Gender is a cross-cutting intervention integrated in all project components for the safeguard and sustained development impacts. The Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Action Plan has been accordingly developed. The GESI team led by the gender key expert includes road safety expert, resettlement specialist, environment specialist, transport economist, resident engineers and support staffs, social development officer, human trafficking officer, and 6 social mobilizers

Responsibility Implementation Arrangement and Progress Update

Output 1. Road network rehabilitated and upgraded

Activity 1.1: Integrate road design features that are friendly to elderly, children, women, and persons with disabilities. Responsibility: DOR, CSC, Contractor

1.1.1) 11 zebra crossings with ramps and gender inclusive warning signs in major intersections and 95 pedestrian crossings with warning signs in minor intersections constructed.

Consultations showed that there is confusion among the stakeholders, (i.e. civil contractors, supervision consultants, clients, and design consultants) about the GESI-friendly design features. The draft guidelines of the gender and social inclusion requirements for the zebra crossings with ramps, pedestrian crossings, walkways, bus stops, & service lanes with drainage and safety measures making friendly to women, children, elderly, and people with disability as per performance indicators have been drafted by undertaking the consultation with the Road Safety Specialist, taking into safety requirements. Draft guidelines have been prepared to guide all stakeholders for their undertakings as to the GESI-friendly design requirements. It is planned to discuss the draft during the upcoming Consultation Workshop of PD (ADB), GESU, and related staffs of DOR. Safe pedestrian facilities (e.g. zebras, footpaths, bus stops, etc.); Construction of universally accessible pedestrian facilities and bus stops; Installation of gender inclusive warning signs, pedestrian facilities, intersection at appropriate strategic sites. Further walkover surveys and participant observations have been carried out in BLT road with BLT road contractors’ staffs including the Contract Manager, Social and Environmental Focal Persons, and Site Engineers during. This time the focus has been on public consultations with local political and social leaders, women, community people, local workers and stakeholders covering the issues and aspects of :

• The road design features relating to the requirements of activities and construction works including zebra crossing, pedestrian crossing, walk-ability, and needs of pedestrians including women, children, elderly people, and people with disability

• With the increase in access to vehicle road, and the growth in vehicle movements and transportation, the internal and external movements and migration of local and external people within and outside the communities increases. The outmigration and in-migration of transport and construction workers increase during the period of road construction. Under such circumstances, the intimate relationship and other risk behaviors of the people with HIV positive, who might be hidden, non-tested or undiagnosed, may spread the HIV and STI. Taking into the consideration of such risk factors, this project has designed and implemented the awareness and capacity building activities for their prevention and control.

The child labor has immediate and long term adverse impact on development of the family, society, and country as whole. The practice of child labor by the contractors in the past road projects have been recorded. Often the contractors have been pressurized by the poor in the community to employ their children.

• The project has planned to address the child labor prevention and control in all GESI awareness trainings of all target groups including stakeholders, labors and project affected people together with the project influence people.

The SRIP has ensured and caused to ensure through contractual provision in the contract of the civil contractors that the civil contractors comply with all applicable labor laws and regulations; and non-employment of child labor in construction and other activities. They were monitored through the requirement of reporting of the workers by mentioning of the age of the workers every month, which were regularly verified in the field by the social mobilisers and during the site visits by the RE’s field staffs and Specialists team.

• Provision has been made in contract documents on core labor standards including the equal wages of men and women for work of equal value, and prohibition of child labor.
