EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The City Region Development Project (CRDP) (the Project) will be financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB) and is being formulated as a project loan using the sector approach to be implemented over a 6-year period (January 2011 to December 2016). This document is a draft Resettlement Plan (RP) prepared for the Ashulia Industrial and Residential Clusters subproject. It is based on a feasibility level study and preliminary engineering design and will be updated at the final detailed engineering stage. The RP is prepared in accordance with the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 (SPS), Government of Bangladesh’s (GOB) policy, i.e., the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance, 1982 (ARIPO), and the Resettlement Framework (RF) adopted for CRDP. It is classified as Category B according to ADB’s SPS as minimal land acquisition and resettlement is required for this subproject. 2. The Ashulia subproject consists of three components including (i) water supply and sanitation (five production tube wells and 30 km distribution pipeline); (ii) improvement of two access roads (7.15 km); and (iii) road side drainage system (6 km). Design measures were adopted to minimize involuntary resettlement taking into consideration available Right of Way (ROW) for roads, drainage, and pipelines. 3. Summary of Resettlement Impacts. A total of 11 households are affected by the subproject. The five proposed production tube wells will be constructed on private land amounting to 182 square meters (sqm) and affecting 5 households with 11 fruit bearing mango trees. There are no buildings/structures affected. These five households are considered to be economically displaced households (DHs). A total of 6 hawkers and squatters will also be affected and the impacts are limited to temporary economic displacement and relocation. Of the 11 affected households, five are considered vulnerable as they earn incomes below the poverty line. The five vulnerable households are hawkers. The resettlement cost estimate includes eligible compensation, resettlement assistance, as outlined in the entitlement matrix, and support cost for RP implementation. 4. Public consultations. Consultations were carried out during RP preparation and will continue throughout the subproject cycle. A grievance redress mechanism will be made available as explained in this RP. 5. Implementation Arrangements. The subproject will be managed and implemented through a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) based in Savar Upazila Parishad with the overall support and guidance of the Project Management Coordination Unit (PMCU) based at LGED Headquarters in Dhaka. The detailed design, preparation and implementation of the capital investments will be supported by: (i) consultancy support (both international and national); and (ii) technical support from LGED and the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE). The PIU will implement the RP with support from the PMCU and consultants. The PIU will provide adequate and appropriate replacement structures or cash compensation at full replacement cost, adequate compensation for partially damaged structures, and relocation assistance, as per the entitlement matrix within this RP. Income restoration assistance to the affected persons includes both short and medium term strategies. The Government will provide all funds for land and resettlement in a timely manner. 6. RP Implementation and Monitoring. All compensation is to be paid prior to displacement (both physical and economic) however, ongoing income rehabilitation activities will continue after construction begins. Written confirmation of full compensation to DPs must be made to ADB prior to commencement of civil works in sections ready for construction. The estimated total period of the implementation of the RP is 13 months. Monthly monitoring reports will be submitted by PIU to PMCU. PMCU will consolidate monthly reports into quarterly monitoring reports and will submit to ADB.

RESETTLEMENT PLAN: ASHULIA

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Overview 1. The CRDP emphasizes economic growth in Dhaka and Khulna city regions of Bangladesh through (i) creation of an enabling environment towards improved governance and capacity building of the local governments; and (ii) prioritized investments in infrastructure sectors in the two regions. The objectives of CRDP are: (i) to improve the regional economic and social context through long-term development plans and investment programs, set within an institutional and regulatory context that will ensure implementation and review; (ii) to improve the capacity and mandate of local government to govern and to invest in improved economic activity at local level; (iii) to improve the economic context for sustainable commercial and industrial growth; and (iv) to improve the economic and social needs of the urban population, as an inclusive aspect of the CRDP. The subprojects are largely built around ‘integrated area planning’ principles which enhance economic activity in the regional context and provide opportunities for investment. The vision of the Ashulia subproject is to optimize the economic potential of the Ashulia (Industrial and Residential) Cluster in a way that is sustainable and to the benefit of industrialists, traders, local businesses, residents and workers in the Clusters and the neighboring area. B. Subproject Components 2. The subproject identifies targeted capital investments in the Ashulia Industrial and Residential Cluster located in Savar Upazila referred to here as the Ashulia Cluster. The Cluster consists of three urban centers formed from the Ashulia, Yearpur and Damsona Unions. Ashulia is located next to Uttara (a residential model town) within Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) boundary near Yearpur and Damsona. The subproject components aim at priority upgrading and expansion of urban services, including: (i) water supply and sanitation; (ii) drainage and flood protection; and (iii) roads and highways. The proposals are entirely concerned with activities which address the most acute needs for better urban services. Figure 1 contains a map of the Ashulia project area and illustrates proposed road and drainage works.

1. Water Supply and Sanitation 3. Based on the results of preliminary design, it is proposed to install five production/tube wells as a priority, together with 30 km of distribution pipelines serving a population of approximately 80,000 persons, with the assumption that one production well will serve about 15,000 or more people. In selecting the sites for the five priority production wells, cluster communities with low-income residents living in sub-standard and informal housing were given highest priority. The five proposed productions tube wells are situated at Basaid Bazar (Ashulia), Khejur Bagan (Ashulia), Modhupur/Faruk Nagar (Dhamsona), Vadail (Dhamsona) and Montos (Yearpur). A brief description of the proposed five production tube wells are described below in Table 1.

2. Drainage

4. There are two interlinked priority areas for drainage and road investment as identified in Table 2. Nearly 6 km of drains will be constructed along the two identified roads which become inundated by the rainwater and industrial wastewater. Design of the drains will be prepared by the project consultant as part of the detailed design work.

3. Access Roads

5. A package of two roads is recommended for road and drainage improvements. These two roads make an important contribution to the economic development of the Clusters in the Ashulia area. Improvements include widening within Right of Way (RoW), strengthening, and resurfacing. Road safety measures will be integrated in the design to ensure safety to pedestrians. The two access roads are (i) Dhaka-Aricha (RHD) at 20 Mile-Jerabo Bazar Yearpur UP Road; and (ii) Nabinagar-Kaliakoir (RHD) Road at Sreepur-Kashimpur GC Road, as described further below.

6. Road 1: Dhaka-Aricha (RHD) at 20 Mile-Jerabo Bazar Yearpur UP Road. The road length is 5.65 km and existing width is 6 m and connects Dhaka-Aricha RHD National Highway at the 20 mile marker to Tongi-EPZ road at Jerabo Bazar. Large and medium industries like Incepta, DEKKO, Maskot Group and many others are located alongside the road. The condition in some parts of the road is poor and requires immediate improvement. Due to movement of heavy traffic, the road is proposed to be strengthened up to 40 mm bituminous carpeting with a 6 m double lane carriageway pavement. To protect the road from inundation by industrial waste water and rainwater, new drainage (4 km) alongside the road will be provided, which will include the length from Jirabo to Kondul Bag (1.5 km) and Koturia to Kondul Bag (2.5 km).

7. Road 2: Nabinagar-Kaliakoir (RHD) at Sreepur-Kashimpur GC Road. The total road length is 6 km and existing width is 4.9 m and connects Nabinagar-Kaliakoir RHD Road with Kashimpur GC, and Norsinghapur - Konabari RHD Road. Many large and medium industries like Samsher Knit, Square Textile, Mother Textile and the Atomic Energy Commission are located along the roadside. Of the length, 1.5 km up to Biman Poultry is proposed for inclusion as part of the subproject. Due to heavy traffic the road is proposed to be strengthened up to 40 mm bituminous carpeting with the 6m double lane carriageway pavement. To protect the road from inundation by industrial waste water and rainwater, drainage (2 km) along the proposed section will be constructed.

II. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT 8. There are 11 households affected by the subproject activities – 5 landowners from proposed tube wells, and 6 hawkers/vendors within the RoW. A summary of impacts on land acquisition and resettlement are described below in Table 3 and Table 4. 9. Tube Wells. Minimum land acquisition is required for the proposed production tube wells which have small land requirements. The five proposed production tube wells will be constructed on private land amounting to be a total of 182 square meters (sqm) which will be required for permanent acquisition affecting five households, 11 fruit bearing mango trees and no buildings/structure. These five households are considered to be economically displaced households. The 30 km of distribution pipelines will not require land acquisition. The distribution pipe lines neither will have permanent nor temporary impact on land acquisition and resettlement. The distribution pipeline will be laid under the ground and will not have any impact on structures except some minor inconvenience during construction. Minor disturbance will be avoided by keeping the night time construction and works during off-peak hours. Further measures to avoid and minimize access disruptions to businesses will be implemented as per the subproject environmental management plans.1 10. Roads and Drainage. The proposed interlinked components of road improvement (7.15 km) and drainage improvement (6 km) will not require any permanent land acquisition and resettlement as all construction activities will be confined to the existing RoW. However, there will a affected few hawkers and vendors though these are limited to temporary economic displacement. A total of six hawkers were identified in preliminary surveys. These hawkers are mostly small shop vendors having temporary structures (e.g., bamboo sheds and small wooden kiosks).

1 Environmental management plans form part of the civil works contracts are aim to provide continued access to

local businesses to minimize impacts.

III. SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE 11. Structured census survey questionnaires (Annexures 1 and 2) were used to collect detailed information on the impact of permanent land acquisition and temporary impacts hawkers and vendors in the subproject area. The surveys were conducted in June 2010.2 12. A total number of 11 households are being economically displaced by the subproject which consists of 5 households losing a small piece of agricultural land and 6 hawkers/vendors. Each is considered to be economically displaced as they will be losing some basic economic activities. The land owners are mostly occupied in agriculture, while hawkers in small business. Socioeconomic details of landowners are in Table 5. None of the displaced households belong to any Indigenous People or ethnic minority group as most of the DPs are Muslims. The census survey revealed that five hawkers fall under the vulnerable category as they earn income considered below the poverty line. Following section provides a socioeconomic profile of the displaced persons. 13. The total land required for proposed five production tube well is 2.52 katha (or 182 sqms). The land contains no structures and is characterized as agricultural and unirrigated. There are five landowners affected, each holding legal title. The requirement of land for each production well is minimal and no land owners will lose more than 10% of the productive asset and hence, none of the five households are significantly affected. There will be a total of 11 fruit bearing trees (mango) affected. There are no encroachers and squatters present in the affected land.

Table 5: Socioeconomic Details of Affected Land Owners

Source: Census Survey June 2010. 14. Sex. The total number of Displaced Persons (DPs) is 44 out of which 21 (38.89%) are male and 33 are female (61.11%). The average family size is 4.90. 15. Average Monthly Income of the DPs. A majority of households earn between 9,000 Tk to 11,000 Tk per month. Details of average monthly income are in Table 6 below.

2 The survey team was trained by the international resettlement specialist consultant and the survey was closely

monitored on a regular basis. The census survey included various aspects including (i) assessment of land including quantity and typology; (ii) Inventory of physical assets; (iii) potential income loss; (iv) impact on trees; (v) household characteristics, including social, economic and demographic profile; and (vi) temporary impacts on the hawkers’ business activities.

3 Below Poverty line (BPL) has been calculated on the basis of general formula which is 1$ per day per person. The average family size in the subproject area is 4.9 and the 1$= 72Tk. Therefore, the threshold for poverty line has been considered as 10,584 Tk incomes per month per household.

The types of temporary structures are classified based on the type of construction, their usability and the age of the structure. There is no permanent foundation or construction materials being used except some bamboo pillars, tripol/plastic or thatched structures, and corrugated iron sheets. Details on the type of materials are given in Table 7. The total area of these temporary structures is 41 sqm and the average area has been calculated to be 7 sq. m. for each structure. Therefore, these can be easily shifted to other locations without much disruption. It is found that the age of most structures are below ten years old, with most being less than five. Out of the total surveyed hawkers/vendors, it is noted that five are fully affected and only one structure is partially affected.

18. Gender. During disbursement of assistance and compensation, priority will be given to female headed households. Joint ownership in the name of husband and wife will be offered in case of non-female headed households where the asset was acquired during their marriage.

IV. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION A. Public Consultation 19. During subproject preparation, consultations were held with the official representatives of the Savar Upazila, apart from the communities in the project area. The issues covered during these consultations included selection of subprojects and identification of key issues including addressing the current gaps in provision of basic services and improvement of urban environment conditions in the Savar urban area. These consultations (Table 9) provided an understanding of the needs and concerns of the project communities and the relevant stakeholders. Additionally, focus group discussions were also conducted with the local community especially with the DPs and the summary of these consultations is given in Annexure 3.

B. Information Disclosure 20. Project information will be continually disseminated through disclosure of resettlement planning documents. Resettlement information leaflets containing information on compensation, entitlement and resettlement management adopted for the subproject will be made available in local language (Bangla) and the same will be distributed to DPs. The PIU the Resettlement Support staff (RSS) will keep the DPs informed about the impacts, the compensation and assistances proposed for them and facilitate addressing any grievances. The information will also be made available at a convenient place especially, the market place which will be easily accessible to the DPs. The summary of the RP and the entitlement matrix will be translated into the local language; disclosed to the DPs; and made available at PIU, local offices and libraries (or other pubic places, and at the LGED and DPHE offices. A copy of the RP will be disclosed on the LGED and ADB website. C. Continued Consultation and Participation 21. For continued consultations, the following steps are to be taken:

(i) The PMCU and the PIU will organize public meetings and will apprise the

communities about the progress in the implementation of resettlement, social and environmental activities.

(ii) There will be a Grievance Redress Committees (GRC). The DPs will be associated with such committee along with their representatives.

(iii) PMCU and PIU will organize public meetings to inform the community about the compensation and assistance to be paid. Regular update of the progress of the resettlement component of the project will be placed for public display at the PCMU and PIU offices.

(iv) All monitoring and evaluation reports of the resettlement components of the project will be disclosed in the same manner as that of the RP.

(v) Key features of the entitlements will be displayed along the project corridor. (vi) The PMCU and PIU will conduct information dissemination sessions at major

intersections and solicit the help of the local community leaders to encourage the participation of the DPs in RP implementation.

(vii) Attempts will be made to ensure that vulnerable groups understand the process and to take their specific needs into account.

22. The details on consultation process and disclosure at various phases of project development including the responsible agency are described in Annexure-5.

V. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISMS 23. A grievance redress mechanism will be established in Ashulia soon after project commencement. The first level and most accessible and immediate venue for the fastest resolve of grievances is the PIU, chiefly through the RSS and Project Manager, with assistance from the Resettlement Specialist (National and International-NRS and IRS) of the Management, Design and Supervision Consultants (MDSC). The contact phone number will be posted in the project areas. Grievances will be resolved through continuous interactions with affected persons and the PIU will answer queries and resolve grievances regarding various issues including land acquisition, structures acquisition, livelihood impacts, entitlements, and assistance. Corrective measures will be undertaken at the field-level itself within seven days. All grievances will be documented with full information of the person and issue.

Page 15: City Region Development Project - Ashulia: Industrial and

12

24. Should the grievance remain unresolved, the PIU's Project Manager, will activate the second level of the GRM by referring the issue (with written documentation) to the local Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) of the Upazila, who will, based on review of the grievances, address them in consultation with the RSS of the PIU and PMCU, and affected persons. A hearing will be called, if necessary, where the affected person can present his/her concern/issues. The process will promote conflict resolution through mediation. The local GRC will consist of the following persons: (i) Chief Executive Officer of the Upazila (GRC Chair); (ii) Representative of the head of the Upazila; (iii) Representative of the affected persons; (iv) Official of the land registry department; (v) Official of the Department of Environment (DoE)’s divisional office; (vi) Town planner of the Upazila; and (vii) Environmental Specialist/ RSS of the PIU. The local GRC shall meet twice a month, unless the Project Director informs that there are no grievances to address, or they shall meet as needed as per the severity of the grievance. The local GRC will suggest corrective measures at the field level and assign responsibilities for implementing its decisions.

25. The functions of the local GRC are as follows: (i) Provide support to DPs on problems arising from land acquisition (temporary or permanent); asset acquisition; and eligibility for entitlements, compensation and assistance; (ii) Record grievances of DPs, categorize and prioritize them and provide solutions within a month; and (iii) Report to the aggrieved parties about developments regarding their grievances and decisions of the GRC. 26. Should the grievance still remain unresolved, the PIU Project Manager, will activate the third level of the GRM by informing the PMCU Project Director who will, based on review of the local GRC minutes and consultation with the PIU Project Manager, activate the PMCU level GRC. This committee shall comprise the following representatives:(i) Project Director PMCU, (ii) Environmental / Resettlement Officer of the PMCU; (iii) Representative from Land Ministry; (iv) Representative from DoE; (v) Representative of the DPs; and (vi) Environmental / Social Safeguards officer of the PIU. 27. The GRC at the PMCU level shall meet based on the receipt of grievances, and the meeting shall be convened within 7 days of receipt of the grievance by the PMCU, and grievances redressed with 15 days. The Environmental / Resettlement Safeguards Officer of the PMCU will be responsible for processing and placing all papers before the PMCU GRC, recording decisions, issuing minutes of the meetings and taking follow up action to see that formal orders are issued and the decisions carried out. 28. In the event that a grievance is not addressed by the PIU, local GRC, or the PMCU GRC, the DP can seek legal redress of the grievance in the appropriate Courts (the fourth level of the GRM). A grievance redressal mechanism and procedure is depicted in Figure-2.

VI. LEGAL FRAMEWORK

29. This RP is prepared based on all applicable legal and policy frameworks of GOB (i.e., the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance 1982 (ARIPO)) and ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). A summary of applicable acts and policies is presented provided in the Project's Resettlement Framework. 30. The Government's policy through ARIPO does not cover project-affected persons without titles or ownership record, such as informal settler/squatters, occupiers, and informal tenants and lease-holders (without document) and does not ensure replacement value of the property acquired. The ARIPO has no provision of resettlement assistance for restoration of livelihoods of affected persons except for the legal compensation. Gaps between national law and ADB policy are identified and bridging measures are included in the Entitlement Matrix for the project, described below. ADB will not finance the project if it does not comply with its SPS nor will it finance the project if it does not comply with its host country's social and environmental laws. Where discrepancy between the ADB and Government policies exist, the ADB policy will prevail. Moreover, the SPS applies to all ADB-financed and/or ADB-administered sovereign projects, and their components regardless of the source of financing, including investment projects funded by a loan; and/or a grant; and/or other means.

VII. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS A. Eligibility 31. All DPs who are identified in the project-impacted areas on the cut-off date4 will be entitled to compensation for their affected assets, and rehabilitation measures (as outlined in

4 The cut-off date for title holders is based according to the formal notification, and for non-titleholders the date

Page 17: City Region Development Project - Ashulia: Industrial and

14

the entitlement matrix below) sufficient to assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-project living standards, income-earning capacity and production levels. The project will recognize both licensed and non-licensed vendors. Compensation eligibility is limited by a cut-off date as set for this project on the day of the beginning of the detailed census during the detailed design. DPs who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation. They, however will be given sufficient advance notice (60 days), requested to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. B. Entitlements 32. The entitlement matrix in Table 10 summarizes the main types of losses and the corresponding entitlements in accordance with GoB and ADB policies. C. Assessment of Compensation Unit Values 33. Land. All lands proposed to be acquired under CRDP will be compensated as per replacement cost consistent with both Government and ADB’s SPS. The design consultants will prepare site plan overlays (based on detailed designs) on the cadastral map to define the area and parcels to be acquired. This is to form part of the application to the Ministry of Land (MOL).5 The MOL will then assign the task to the concerned Deputy Commissioner (DC) in the project areas. The DC will then decide the cost of land through its property valuation advisory committee6 which will serve as the valuation committee.

of the census survey during the detailed design. Those who encroach into the subproject area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to compensation or any other assistance. The PIU will take video and photo documentation to ensure entitled persons on the cut-off date.

5 The application to MOL includes a detailed statement specifying whether the land mentioned in the application is needed for public or private purpose, the area of the land, sketch-map, purpose for which it could be used.

6 Under the Project, a representative from the displaced persons is required to be a member of the property valuation advisory committee to ensure compensation for assets is at replacement value.

34. The land.valuation process will consist of two different values—(i) the sale deed record, and (ii) expected price. The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will be responsible for providing the recorded rate from the Local Land Registry Office (LLRO) (i.e., the sale deed record). The PIU will consult with willing buyers/sellers of the area to collect the expected price of land. The PIU will then submit the two rates to the valuation committee. Based on these rates the valuation committee will derive a price which will be called as the current market rate. Additionally, the cost for tax and stamp duties etc will be added to the current marker as derived by the valuation committee which will finally be considered as the replacement cost. 35. Private Building and Structure. The compensation for houses, buildings and other immovable properties will be determined on the basis of replacement cost as on date without depreciation. The PIU with assistance from the Public Works Department (PWD) will determine the replacement cost of structures. PIU will engage experts form PWD and the experts will carry out on the field assessment of each property and will submit the report to the DC office. PIU will ensure that the assessment is done keeping in consideration the market price and consultation with the owners by assessing sources, types and cost of materials, usage of the building and the cost related to labor and transportation etc. 36. Trees and Crops. The PIU will conduct the survey on unit prices of trees and crops affected by temporary or permanent land acquisition, in consultation with agriculture/horticulture experts. The compensation for crops will be calculated based the current market rate. The PIU will collect data on crops in the project area from the local department of agricultural extension. Subsequently, the unit/market rate for each crop will be determined in consultation with the department of agricultural extension. The unit prices for compensation of different species of fruit trees will be based on the market values of their fruits. For trees producing timber their unit prices will be based on species type, age, and quality. The cost for such trees will be collected after consultation with the divisional forest office. 37. Business or Sources of Income. The PIU will conduct a detailed census survey which is to include actual monthly income of the DPs followed by a verification of the income data based on the tax payment (for titled business owners). In the absence of the authentic income proof, the unit price will be collected from the DP during the survey.

VIII. INCOME RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION A. Basic Provision for Relocation 38. The basic provision for loss of land has been taken as the cash compensation at market price which is equivalent to replacement cost. Advanced notice (60 days) will be provided for harvesting crops, or if harvesting is not possible, then the farmers will be compensated at replacement cost for such crops. Trees will be compensated at market value. All compensation is to be paid before displacement occurs. The land owners losing a small piece of land will not require any relocation as they will not be physically displaced nor they will be severely affected. The PIU will attempt to find suitable alternative locations for hawkers including creating potential formal market spaces where feasible. The PIU will provide adequate and appropriate replacement structures or cash compensation at full replacement cost, adequate compensation for partially damaged structures, and relocation assistance, as per applicable according to the entitlement matrix. The PIU will compensate non-title holders for the loss of assets other than land, such as dwellings, and also for other improvements to the land, at full replacement cost. The entitlements to the non-titleholders will be given only if they occupied the land or structures in the project area prior to the cut-off date. The preliminary number of displaced hawkers is quite minimal (only 6) in the subproject area and the consultation with these hawkers and vendors revealed that they will

Page 21: City Region Development Project - Ashulia: Industrial and

18

be willing to shift on their own provided they get some compensation. To help the hawkers losing structures in getting entitlements and relocating themselves, a relocation strategy will be adopted in the subproject including (i) all compensation will be paid and other resettlement entitlements will be before physical displacement; (ii) at least 60 days advance notice will be given; (iii) the PIU and Resettlement Support Staff will assist DPs during verification of assets and will provide necessary counseling on payment of compensation and assistance; (iv) in close consultation with the DPs, the PIU Resettlement Support Staff will fix the shifting dates agreed with the DPs in writing and the arrangements desired by the DPs with respect to their entitlements; and (v) in case of self relocation, the PIU will assist the DPs in finding alternative site within the area if so desired by the DPs. B. Income and Livelihood Rehabilitation 39. Income restoration assistance to the displaced persons includes both short and medium term strategies. Short term income restoration strategies are for immediate assistance during relocation and include the following:

(i) Compensation for land, structures, crops, fruit bearing trees, and all other lost assets is paid in full before displacement occurs;

(ii) Assistance in finding replacement land or alternate location for continuation of livelihood/living arrangements;

(iii) Where provision of alternative sites is not feasible (for temporary impacts), compensation of lost income for period of disruption (if less than three months) or lump sum for three months lost income (at replacement cost) or minimum wage rates (whichever is higher);

(iv) Shifting allowance for reestablishing business elsewhere based on actual cost of moving/unloading;

(v) 60 days’ advance notice to shift business or harvest standing seasonal crops (if harvest is not possible, compensation for share of standing crops at market rates);

(vi) One time assistance for lost income based on three months lost income (at replacement cost) or minimum wage rates (whichever is higher);

(vii) Consideration for project employment; (viii) For vulnerable households, additional subsistence allowance equivalent to Tk

10,000/HH for restoring or enhancing their livelihood. Vulnerable households will be prioritized in any project employment;

(ix) Provision of temporary access where possible to continue business; and (x) Restoration of affected land, structure, utilities, common property resource for

continuation of business after construction is completed. 40. Medium-term income restoration activities will include skill development training based on need. The PIU will identify suitable local training institutes and pay fees directly to the training institution and provide the names of entitled person(s). 41. Where necessary, training may include (i) capacity building, enterprise training, and facilitating economic activities to landowners; and (ii) training for self employment to agricultural laborers. Training for self-employment and skill development which may include but not limited to (i) plumbing; (ii) electrical; (iii) automobile repair; and (iv) electronic repair and service, etc. Training will be imparted to any willing DP losing income or livelihood. 42. During the construction stage the DPs, especially vulnerable DPs, will be given preference over others in being engaged in project activities suitable to their skills. In order to make the DPs employable, the PIU will identify the required skills for the construction activities prior to the commencement of the construction and provide the required training to the DPs.

X. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS A. Project Management Coordination Unit

44. The Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) will be the Executing Agency (EA) responsible for overall guidance and project implementation. A PMCU headed by a Project Director will implement the project investments and will be responsible for overall planning, management, coordination, supervision and progress monitoring of the CRDP in the two regions. The PMCU will ensure compliance with assurances, including

Page 23: City Region Development Project - Ashulia: Industrial and

20

safeguards and preparing and submitting reports, resettlement plan monitoring updates. To ensure effective implementation of the land acquisition and resettlement aspects, two full time PMCU resettlement safeguard officers will be recruited, including one Resettlement Compliance Officer primarily responsible for compliance with legal requirements of GoB, and one Resettlement Surveyor responsible for overseeing PIU preparation of the RP for subprojects and data collection. The MDSC will recruit one international and one national resettlement specialist to assist the PMCU in this regard. The PMCU will review monthly reports submitted by PIUs and will consolidate them into quarterly reports to ADB. Corrective actions to be taken when necessary based on close monitoring and results of grievance redress process. B. Project Implementation Unit 45. The subproject will be managed and implemented through the PIU based in Savar Upazila Parishad The PIU will be responsible for carrying out the detailed design of the subprojects and updating RPs for the sample subprojects and prepare new RPs for future subprojects under the sector approach The PIU will ensure compliance with safeguards requirements of the Government and ADB. The PIU will be responsible for day-to-day monitoring of the project progress, including the implementation of the resettlement provisions in the project. 46. The capacity to implement safeguards planning and implementation at the PIU level is not currently adequate. Therefore, it is proposed that resettlement support staff (or facilitators) at the PIU level will be recruited. The number of resettlement support staff at each PIU will be commensurate to the scale of IR impacts (e.g., the greater the impact, the greater number of support staff needed). All PIU and PMCU safeguards staff will undergo training conducted by the consultant team’s resettlement specialists. Each PIU will prepare monitoring reports on all aspects concerning to resettlement planning and implementation of the land acquisition and resettlement issues and report to the PMCU on a monthly basis.

C. Management, Design and Supervision Consultants 47. The MDSC will hire one International Resettlement Specialist (IRS) and one National Resettlement Specialist (NRS). They will be responsible for updating/finalizing the RPs of sample subprojects in accordance with this RF and based on the detailed engineering design. These specialists will also prepare new RPs for future subprojects under the sector approach consistent with this RF. This will be done in close coordination with PIU resettlement support staff and PMCU resettlement officers. The IRS and the NRS will assist in the overall supervision of the projects and ensure all plans are implemented in a smooth and timely manner in accordance with the provisions of the RP. They will also prepare and implement training and capacity development programs for resettlement planning for the PIU and PMCU safeguards staff (see section below on Training and Capacity Building), and will closely work with the PMCU and PIUs to ensure displaced persons are compensated before displacement occurs, including ongoing rehabilitation measures. The Terms of Reference (ToRs) along with the specific tasks are attached in Annexure-5. Further details on agencies responsible for RP activities are in Table 12 and the organization chart for RP implementation is depicted in Figure 3.

XII. MONITORING AND REPORTING 49. The extent of monitoring activities will be commensurate with the project’s risks and impacts. Monthly monitoring reports to be submitted by PIU to PMCU. PMCU to consolidate monthly reports into quarterly monitoring reports to ADB. These reports should form a part of the project progress reports submitted by PMCU to ADB. 50. The objectives of monitoring are to: (i) ensure that the standard of living of DPs are restored or improved; (ii) ascertain whether activities are progressing as per schedule and the timelines are being met; (iii) assess if compensation, rehabilitation measures are sufficient; (iv) identify problems or potential issues; and (v) identify methods to rapidly to mitigate problems. The above information will be collected by EA/IA through its PMCU and respective PIU which is responsible for monitoring the day-to-day resettlement activities of the project through the following instruments:

(i) Review of census information for all DPs; (ii) Consultation and informal interviews with DPs; (iii) In-depth case studies; (iv) Sample survey of DPs; (v) Key informant interviews; and (vi) Community public meetings.

51. Internal Monitoring. The internal monitoring by PMCU/PIU will include (i) administrative monitoring to ensure that implementation is on schedule and problems are dealt with on a timely basis; (ii) socio-economic monitoring during and after the relocation process to ensure that people are settled and recovering. See Annexure-7 for a sample monitoring report template. This will utilize the baseline information established by the socio-economic survey of DPs undertaken during subproject preparation; and (iii) overall monitoring whether recovery has taken place successfully and on time. Monitoring will also include the following:

(i) Communication with and documentation of reactions from DPs. (ii) Information from DPs on entitlements, options, alternative developments, etc. (iii) Valuation of properties. (iv) Usages of grievance redress mechanism. (v) Disbursement of compensation amounts and all assistance. (vi) Physical progress of the RP implementation which will include relocation of

DPs and affected community properties. 52. The indicators for achievement of objectives during RP implementation are of two kinds such as (i) Process Indicators (Indicating project inputs, expenditure, staff deployment,

Page 27: City Region Development Project - Ashulia: Industrial and

24

etc.) and (ii) Output Indicators: Indicating results in terms of numbers of DPs compensated, area of temporarily occupied lands restored with topsoil (and other pre-project features), number of DPs provided with skills training, etc. Input and output indicators related to physical progress of the work will include items such as:

(i) Training of EA/IA and other staff completed. (ii) Census, assets inventories, assessments and socio-economic studies

completed. (iii) Grievance redress procedures in-place and functionality. (iv) Compensation payments disbursed. (v) Relocation of DPs completed. (vi) Project employment provided to DPs. (vii) Infrastructure rehabilitated or constructed. (viii) Income restoration activities initiated. (ix) Skills training of DPs initiated. (x) Number of households displaced and resettled.

Most of the participants have heard or informed about the CRDP Project. But many of them think development of roads is necessary. In some location it is essential due to industrialization and roads are being used for different purposes. Besides some walk ways are needed for a number of workers of the industries as because everyday thousands of female and male workers also use same roads. Beside, in some area people claimed for the development of drainage system. Also some community people also want water supply at home.

Therefore community people have demanded redevelopment of the road and drainage system for the betterment of the community as well as economic development of the country.

5 Any critical issue or concern by the local people regarding the project?

No, there are no critical issues related to this project. In general the entire roads in Ashulia are very wide and there is no need for acquisition. Only few trees and a very small number of structures will be temporarily affected during construction. Besides, for the construction of production tube wells/ pump house the private lands will be required and community people are eagerly like to provide those lands for bundling water pump.

6 Any criteria you would like to see considered during project design, construction and operation stage?

Some participants have requested to serve water to every house hold and in some extent to the poor community in law rate. Also asked for some water point in the road sides for the vulnerable people who would not be able to pay change for water.

Tube-well water is the main drinking water sources of the community. In the Ashulia area. But most of the household owners installed own tube-well and provided connection to the tenants’. After industrialization of the area, local people constructed one room house for the migrant labor (at least built 10 rooms in each house). In summer, most of these water pumps can not provide sufficient water due to underground water scarcity. Most of these tube wells are 150-200 meters in depth. So there is always water scarcity in summer season.

There will be few permanent loss of land due to the project especially construction of water pump. But there will be very few losses of trees and temporary structure for wading road only one location.

Almost 80% people migrant labor and work in the different impurities. Local people are mostly involved in land buying and selling business and the most common income earning sources is rental house /room for the migrant labor. Besides some shops, transport business has been increased due to highly increasing tendency of industrialization.

19 Do you face any problem regarding the exiting water supply/solid waste management/river port/Drainage/Traffic system?

Yes, lack of drainage system is a serious problem. In the rainy season many of the roads go drown under water. And another problem is water scarcity during the dry season. Some participant said if the roads and drainage the drain problems get solve the land pries will be high and more development prospect will be addressed from government and private sector.
