I. Background
1. The Government of Azerbaijan and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) have agreed to
implement the Power Distribution Enhancement Investment Program in 3 tranches, starting
in 2016 until 2022, as a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF). On 19 July 2016, ADB
approved Loan 3407-AZE to finance the power program’s $350 million Tranche 1. Of this
amount, $250 is being provided by ADB, while $75 million is government’s counterpart.
Loan 3407-AZE became effective on 2 September 2016 and its closing date is on 30 June
2019. Project construction works are targeted for completion by 31 December 2018.
Subprojects under Tranche 1 include, among others, the rehabilitation and expansion of
aging medium- and low-voltage distribution networks comprising approximately 4 units of
110 kilovolt (kV) substations (SS); 16 units of 35 kV substations; 1,157 units of 6-10 kV
transformer stations; 54 km of 110 kV distribution lines; 124 km of 35 kV distribution lines;
and 1,237 km of 6-10 kV distribution lines.
2. The Azerishig Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC)1 is the executing agency, while the
implementing agencies (IAs) are the respective Regional Energy Supply and Sales
Department (RESSD) of the following cities and rayons2 (districts), namely, Baku, Shimal
Garb, Janub, Garb, Aran, Shimal, and Markazi Aran. Districts covered by the Project are
Absheron, Siyazan, Shamakhi, Oghuz, Gakh, Ganja, Goranboy, Mingechevir, Zardab,
Saatli, Imishli, Neftchala, Salyan, Hajigabul, Masalli, and Lankaran. The Project Supervision
and Management Consultant (PMC) provide day-to-day assistance to the EA.

3. Until the end of the first half of 2017, Tranche 1 was categorized as C for involuntary
resettlement. This categorization was subsequently changed to B in the third quarter of
2017 following two successive ADB safeguard missions in July and August 2017 where it
was learned that a private landholding had been acquired in November 2016 in the
expansion of the 110/35/10 kV Dalimammadli SS and that landholdings had to be acquired
in the second half of 2017 for the footings of 9 steel lattice towers of the 35 kV overhead
line (OHL) that runs from the 110/35/10 kV Udjar SS to the 35/10 kV Zardab SS3, not to
mention temporary use of land and disruption in the farming activities of residents during
the stringing of transmission towers.
4. This social monitoring report covers the period July-December 2017.
1 Referred to hereinafter as Azerishiq. 2 The country is divided into 10 economic regions, 66 rayons and 77 cities. Twelve of the cities, including Baku;
Ganja; and Mingachevir, are directly governed by the central government. 3 These matters are discussed further in Section IV of this report.

II. Objectives of the Social Monitoring Report
5. The project’s Facility Administration Manual (FAM) mandates the PMC to assist Azerishiq in
preparing a semi-annual social safeguard monitoring report to be submitted to ADB for
disclosure.4 As stipulated in the FAM, social safeguard monitoring is intended to ensure that
“all land acquisition and resettlement activities, if any, are implemented in compliance with
(i) all applicable laws and regulations of the Government relating to land acquisition and
involuntary resettlement; (ii) the involuntary resettlement safeguards under ADB's
Safeguards Policy Statement (2009); and (iii) all measures and requirements set forth in the
resettlement plan, and any corrective or preventive actions set forth in the safeguards
monitoring report.”5
III. Methodology
6. Information for this report has been culled from various social safeguard documents that
Azerishiq and the PMC prepared and submitted to ADB in the second half of 2017, in
addition to field reports prepared and submitted by PMC consultants to Azerishiq.
IV. Status of Resettlement Implementation
7. Following receipt of complaints from two persons6 in May 2017 and June 2017, ADB fielded
a safeguard review mission on 2 – 7 July 2017 to look into the status of safeguard
compliance in the Project. During that mission, it was found out that Azerishig acquired 0.36
ha from AP on 29 November 2016 for the expansion of the 110/35/10 kV Dalimammadli SS.
On 21 – 25 August 2017, ADB fielded a follow-up safeguard mission. At the conclusion of
the second safeguard review mission, Azerishig agreed to carry out a due diligence review
(DDR) of each subproject of Tranche 1.
8. Also during the conclusion of the 21 – 25 August 2017 ADB follow-up safeguard mission,
Azerishig agreed to prepare a LARP for 7 households at Qarabork village of Ujar region
region, who were to lose a portion of their landholdings for the footings of lattice towers of
the 35 kV Ujar-Zardab TL. In addition, Azerishig agreed to prepare a corrective action plan
(CAP) to facilitate the belated payment of a special cash allowance to AP, who despite
being a vulnerable project-affected person (AP), was not provided such cash allowance.
Social safeguard specialists from the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of Azerishiq and
PMC, with assistance from the concerned RESSDs and contractors, collaborated in July –
September 2017 in carrying out the DDRs and in preparing the aforementioned LARP and
CAP.

AZE/Project Number 42401-015), May 2016, p. 42. 5 Op cit., p. 52. 6 Mr. Hasanov Suleyman Gubad of Khoylu Village, Goranboy Region, in May 2017 wrote a complaint letter to ADB
Azerbaijan Resident Mission (AZRM) alleging that the project contractor violated his property rights by erecting 4 electric posts (35 kV line) on his farmland. Investigation carried out by Arerishig and the regional energy authorities revealed that the alleged affected farmland did not belong to Mr. Hasanov. More importantly, the contractor transferred the 4 electric poles outside the contested landholding. Relatedly, Mr. Yediyarov Neman Gulam of Galma Village, Zaardab Region, on 19 June 2017 sent a telegram to AZRM complaining the contractor was not erecting electric posts (0.4 kV SIW line) in his village correctly. Site inspection carried out by project authorities on 21 June 2017 proved the allegation of Mr. Yediyarov to be wrong. Both Messrs. Hasanov and Yediyarov are not project-affected persons (APs).

A. ADB concurrence to the DDR reports, LARP, and CAP
9. Starting with the submission to ADB on 9 September 2017 of the revised DDR report for the
35 kV Overhead Line between 110/35/10 kV Sarijali SS and 35/10 kV Saatli SS, to which
the Bank gave its approval on 14 September 2017, Azerishiq submitted in September and
October 2017 four additional DDR reports, 1 LARP, and 1 CAP for ADB’s approval.

10. ADB agreed with the findings of the DDRs that no permanent acquisition of private
landholdings occurred or would happen in the finished, on-going, and planned construction
works of subprojects, except in the expansion of the 110/35/10 kV Dalimammadli SS and
the construction of 9 steel lattice towers of the 110 kV Udjar-Zardab TL. Nevertheless, the
DDRs identified potential temporary resettlement impacts during the construction and/or
dismantling of steel lattice towers, poles, and substations and during the stringing of the
towers. These potential temporary resettlement impacts include, among others, possible
damages to fixed assets (e.g., structures) that are located close to the construction
activities; hampered access to properties during trenching works for underground power
lines; and damaged crops and farmlands during the stringing of steel lattice towers. The
DDR reports identified measures to avoid and/or mitigate the aforementioned potential
resettlement impacts, such as confining construction works within the existing right-of-way
(ROW) of power lines and substations, and payment of compensation for any damages to
private and public assets (See Appendix 1 for a copy of the August 2017 letter of Azerishig
reminding the contractors of their obligation in the construction and dismantling of power
lines in order to avoid adversely affecting any person).7 Site supervision engineers of PMC
that are fielded in all subprojects have been tasked to monitor compliance by contractors to
the mitigation measures spelled out in the DDR reports, in addition to receiving, registering
on a logbook, and facilitating appropriate actions to resolve complaints of APs/AHs (project-
affected households) and other stakeholders.
7 Provisions have been included in the contracts of work contractors that oblige them to negotiate directly with
anybody whose property and/or livelihood would be damaged in the course of the construction, stringing and dismantling of towers and power lines in the project’s ROW.

11. In the case of the expansion of the 110/35/10 kV Dalimammadli SS, PIU personnel that
carried out the DDR confirmed that AP received 1,700 AZN in compensation for the 0.36 ha
that he agreed to sell to Azerishiq in November 2016. However, it was learned during the
DDR that the AP had not been given the cash allowance for vulnerable APs, contrary to the
requirements of the agreed 2015 Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF). A
CAP had to be prepared to address this omission.
12. Although 9 APs that were affected by the loss of land in connection with the construction of
steel towers for the 35 kV Zardab-Udjar TL, the LARP was prepared primarily for 7 of the
APs; these APs were cultivating portions of the ROW land of the existing (old) 35 kV OHL.
The other 2 APs (one of them had land title over his affected property, another one was
using the land plot without legal entitlement with connections to utility services) and they
executed a deed of voluntary donation8 bequeathing a portion of their properties in favor of
Azerishiq for the construction of a tower each on their land.
B. Implementation of the CAP for AP in Dalimammadli town
13. The DDR conducted in August 2017 at the 110/35/10 kV Dalimammadli SS by personnel of
the PIU confirmed that the 1,700 AZN land compensation paid to AP was above market
rates prevailing at the time of land acquisition in November 2016 (i.e., 4,530 AZN/ha or
1,631 AZN for the 0.36 ha acquired land). Relatedly, the DDR found out that the AP, while
having lost the equivalent of more than 40% of his total landholdings, could not be
considered as severely affected per ADB 2009 Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS); the AP’s
land adjoining the Dalimammadli SS had been idle for more than a decade because it was
not productive. Therefore, the household of AP was not deriving any economic benefit from
the subject landholding. The livelihood of the household of AP depends mainly on his 140
AZN monthly salary, in addition to his monthly government pension of 326 AZN being a
veteran of the Garabag War. However, as mentioned earlier, AP was not given his cash
allowance for vulnerability. The AP falls under Group 1 for disability under present
regulations.9
14. Per the agreed LARF, the AP was entitled to (i) a one time cash allowance equivalent to the
prevailing minimum salary in the locality multiplied by 3 months, and (ii) priority for
employment in project-related jobs, training opportunities, self- employment and wage-
employment assistance. None of the aforementioned was provided to the AP. When PIU
personnel met with AP in August 2017 during the DDR, he was informed about his
entitlements. The AP, however, averred that there was nobody in his household who was
capable to work in the project’s construction activities. Thus, the focus of the CAP was to
8 Each of the signed voluntary donation listed the conditions that had to be met to make the donation compliant with
the ADB 2009 Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), paraphrased as follows (i) land loss is marginal; (ii) land loss does not result to relocation or loss of income on the part of the AP; (iii) the AP making the donation would benefit from the project; (iv) land donated is free from encumbrance; (v) AP is well informed about his/her entitlements and consultations with the AP is documented; and (vi) the donation is supported with transfer of land titles.
9 Group 1 covers persons suffering from limitations of vital activity (e.g., motion; self-service; labor activity) as a result of disease, trauma, or congenital defects, and is permanently in need of another person’s help or care. (Corrective Action Plan for Social Safeguards, Power Distribution Enhancement Investment Program, Tranche 1 [ADB Loan 3407-AZE/Project Number 42401-015], September 2017.

ensure that the AP is paid his special allowance for vulnerability amounting to 348 AZN
(i.e., 116 AZN/minimum monthly salary multiplied by 3 months).
15. Following receipt of ADB’s approval of the CAP, the PIU Environmental and Social
Safeguard Specialist, accompanied by site supervision engineers of the PMC, delivered the
348 AZN special allowance for vulnerability to the household of AP. The AP’s wife in the
presence of their son received on behalf of the AP the special allowance of 348 AZN for
vulnerability; the AP at the time of the visit was out of town in Naftalan for his regular
medical treatment.
16. In connection with the preparation of the CAP’s completion report, the PMC’s social
safeguard expert on 1 November 2017 met with AP in Dalimammadli Town to confirm
whether or not PIU had indeed paid his special allowance for vulnerability in the amount of
348 AZN. The AP confirmed to the PMC social safeguard expert that on 5 October 2017 his
wife in the presence of their son received 348 AZN from the PIU’s environmental/social
specialist.
C. Implementation of the Zardab-Ujar LARP
17. The 7 APs whose farming activities in Garabork Village extended into the ROW of the
existing 35 kV OHL did not contest the fact that they were farming inside the OHL’s ROW.
The detailed measurement survey (DMS) that PIU carried out in late August 2017 found
wheat, clover, cotton, and 6 mulberry saplings on the 891 m2 of ROW land that the
construction and stringing of 8 steel lattice towers needed.10

18. Consistent with the agreed 2015 LARF, the 7 APs were not entitled to compensation for the
affected lands they were tilling but for improvements (i.e., crops, including improvements to
make the land productive) found or introduced thereat. For this reason, Azerishig in August
2017 engaged an independent firm to determine the prevailing market rates of lands in the
locality. The market study suggested a rate of between 4,000 AZN (Azerbaijan Manat) and
8,000 AZN per hectare (ha). Azerishig opted to offer 6,000 AZN/ha in compensation for the
permanently and temporarily affected landholdings of the 7 APs. Compensation for crops
found on the affected landholdings were also calculated based on prevailing market rates.
ADB on 26 September 2017 gave its concurrence to the LARP.
10 The 8 steel lattice towers were all suspension towers with a footprint of 5 m2 each. This area had to be recovered
permanently from the 7 APs. In addition, approximately 851 m2 were to be affected temporarily, i.e., standing crops thereat would be destroyed and the cultivated land altered, during the stringing of the 8 towers.

19. The responsibility for implementation of the LARP was assigned to PIU of Azerishig OJSC
through its Environmental and Social Safeguard Specialist who was assisted by the PMC’s
international social safeguard expert. Local authorities (Representative of Ujar region
Executive Power Office in Qarabork village and municipality of Garabork village of Ujar
region) and representatives of Contractor involved in the sub-project were also involved to
the implementation of the LARP.
20. On 2 November 2017, International social safeguard expert of PMC, accompanied by PIU’s
environmental and social specialist (team), travelled to Garabork Village for the purpose of
delivering payment of compensation to the 7 DPs.
21. The team visited representative office of Ujar Executive Power in Qarabork village and met
with head of representation and village municipality asking their assistance for distribution
of payments to the 7 DPs. After phone calls made to DPs head of the representative
clarified that it will be very difficult to find a common time for the DPs to assemble in the
village office or to go their homes as majority of them are engaged in different activities in
neighboring regions.
22. In their capacity as representatives of the District Executive Power, the head of
representative office and his deputy proposed that they would go to the individual
residences of the DPs within the week to deliver their compensation money.11 The team
explained to the head of representative office the compensation method and amount to be
paid to each DP based on the LARP for further delivering of the explanation to DPs by
them.
23. However, the village officials explained that it would be more reasonable and fair to divide
compensation budget equally rather than giving compensation based on crops lost. He
explained that for farmers the main money consuming issue is preparation of land plots for
cultivation, i.e. tilling and harrow works, which cost 35 AZN each and requires involving of
agricultural machinery and this assistance would be more expedient and helpful to DPs. So,
after consultations between the participants it was decided that two of DPs, should receive
125 AZN each, while the 5 other DPs would receive 90 AZN each. The 2 DPs that were

entitled to get 125 AZN each had more farmlands affected (mulberry sapling) than the
others (See Table 3 for details).

24. On 5 November 2017, the head of representative office informed PIU that all 7 DPs had
been paid their compensation money and originals of the receipts were delivered to PIU
office shortly.
25. ADB fielded safeguard review mission of the project on 12-14 December 2017 during which
the mission visited Dalimammadli town for verification of compliance of CAP and LARP
implementation to ADB’s safeguard policies and procedures. The mission met with AP (i.e.
his son, due to absence of AP) in Dalimammadli substation and interviewed him with regard
to receiving payment for vulnerability status, where the receipt was confirmed by AP.
26. The next visit of the mission was to Qarabork village of Ujar region for verification of
compliance of implementation of Zardab-Ujar LARP. The meeting with APs was held in
municipality of the village with participation of village officials. The APs were interviewed by
the mission related the compensation received for damage to their cultivated land plots and
crops, receipt of which was confirmed by all APs. Afterwards the mission visited land plots
of APs affected by transmission line, and 2 households who donated land plot to the project
for placement of towers while having a short conversation with one of donators.
27. Upon completion of the safeguard review mission the PIU of Azerishig prepared and
submitted (December 26, 2017) to ADB final compliance reports for CAP in Dalimammadli
and LARP for Zardab-Ujar regions, where the compliance with the ADB Safeguard Policy
Statement (2009) and the Project LARF (2015), as well as to the active legislation of
Azerbaijan was claimed.

D. Progress of construction works and resettlement issues arising therefrom
28. Construction works on the 110 kV substations have all been completed and considered
closed for resettlement as of submission in September 2017 of the DDR report on these
subprojects (see Appendix 2 for details). The same is true for the 110 kV lines that have all
been completed and considered closed for resettlement as of submission in September
2017 of the DDR report on these subprojects (see Appendix 3 for details). With regards
works on the 35 kV substations, they are at various stages of completion and are to be
finished by end of December 2017 (see Appendix 4 for details). Regarding the 35 kV lines,
all but 2 subprojects have been completed and could be considered as closed for
resettlement as of 16 December 2017. The 2 incomplete subprojects are the (i) 35 kV OHL
between the 110/35/10 kV Imishli SS and 35/20 kV Rasullu SS (94% done), and (ii) 35 kV
OHL between the 110 kV Siyazan SS and 35 kV Siyazan SS (98% done). Works on these
2 subprojects are up for completion by end of December 2017 (see Appendix 5 for details).
29. Meanwhile, works on the 0.4 kV self-insulted wire (SIW) subprojects are at various stages
of completion but are due to be finished by end of December 2017 (see Appendix 6 for
details). Similarly, works on the 10/6 kV distribution line subprojects are at various stages of
completion but are due to be finished by end of December 2017 (see Appendix 7 for
details).
30. A complaint from a resident that claimed ownership over a plot on which a compact
transformer station (CTS) of the 10 kV line from the 35/10 kV Oghuz SS was to be
constructed had been resolved with the prompt transfer by the contractor of the same to a
plot owned by the municipal government (See Figure 2).
10
31. Likewise, a local resident at Alyat Settlement in Baku City complained when the contractor
of the 35/6 kV Alyat Baghlari SS used his empty land to stockpile construction materials
(See Figure 3). The contractor promptly transferred the construction materials and resolved
the complaint.
E. Grievance redress resolution
32. Despite having been provided with logbooks on which to register and track the resolution of
complaints, work contractors and PMC site supervision engineers are not in the habit of
using the logbooks. A visit in November 2017 by PIU staff and PMC consultants to various
subprojects found empty logbooks only (See Appendix 8), notwithstanding, for instance,
the two aforementioned complaints that were promptly resolved. It is fairly safe to presume
that minor complaints come about in the construction of the various subprojects, but these
are promptly and quietly addressed and resolved in situ by the contractors.
V. Conclusion and recommendation
33. In conclusion and as stipulated in the FAM, this report takes the position that resettlement
in Tranche 1 of the Power Enhancement Investment Program is being carried out “in
compliance with (i) “all applicable laws and regulations of the Government relating to land
acquisition and involuntary resettlement; (ii) the involuntary resettlement safeguards under
ADB's Safeguards Policy Statement (2009); and (iii) all measures and requirements set
forth in the resettlement plan, and any corrective or preventive actions set forth in the
safeguards monitoring report”. However, the PIU ad PMC consultants at Azerishiq project
office in Baku should exercise vigilance in regularly monitoring the progress of work of
unfinished subprojects and ensure that complaints from stakeholders, if any, are promptly
resolved and put to closure.
