1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1. The Program

1. The Sustainable Highlands Highway Investment Program (SHHIP), otherwise referred

to as the Investment Program, aims to rehabilitate, upgrade and maintain the Highlands

Highway (HH) through physical investment. Additionally, aligned with provisions and policy

framework of National Transport Strategy (NTS), the Investment Program provides capacity

development for the broader transport sector using the HH as a pilot project for

implementing the envisaged holistic approach to sustainable maintenance. It promotes

national cooperation and integration and widen access to social and economic opportunities

via improved land transport infrastructure in PNG through the nation’s most important road.

2. Impact and Outcome: The expected impact of the program is aligned with national

strategies1, 2, 3 where: (i) opportunity for equality and prosperity in rural areas is increased;

(ii) well integrated; safe; socially, financially and environmentally sustainable transport

systems is attained; and (iii) access to health, education and other services and living

standard of the people of PNG is improved. The expected outcome is efficient and safe

increased movement of people, goods and services between the Highlands region and the

markets.

3. The SHHIP is a 10-year Program and implements in three tranches as following:

• Tranche 1 is being implemented between 2019 and 2022 and includes (i) road

maintenance and road improvement works, (ii) drainage and slope protection

works, (iii) road safety improvements as well.

• Tranche 2 shall be implemented between 2023 and 2025 and includes (i)

continue road maintenance and road investment works, (ii) widen all 29 single

lane bridges to two lanes with pedestrian footpaths, (iii) repair, reinforce and

reconstruct as appropriate all (40) two-lane bridges.

• Tranche 3 shall be implemented between 2026 and 2028 and includes (i)

continue road maintenance and road improvement works, (ii) build a new two-

lane bypass to divert heavy and through traffic around Goroka because the

dense urban fabric cannot accommodate a four-lane highway, (iii) build about 20

km of truck climbing lanes in the steep slopes of the Kassam and Daulo Passes,

(iv) build two truck weigh stations in Jiwaka and Goroka; and build two logistics

platforms for the trade of fresh produce in Jiwaka and Goroka.

8 A written notice of any unanticipated environmental risk

There was no major environmental risk during construction phase

9 Applicable laws and regulations related to environment, health and safety

All related laws and regulations were applied during the preparation and construction phases

26. Environmental Baseline Survey: To assess the current status of environmental

quality, the SHHIP’s Team has undertaken environmental monitoring in March and April

2019 as follows:

• Air Quality: The parameters of PM10 and PM2.5 were sampled and analyzed

at 22 locations of sensitive receptors along the corridor including schools and

residential areas. As the monitoring results, the parameter of PM10 in 8 locations

were from 118 – 125 (µg/m3) and higher that WHO Standards (50 (µg/m3). The

parameter of PM2.5 in 5 monitoring locations were from 83-84(µg/m3) and

higher that WHO Standards (25 µg/m3). These locations are in the Town center

and the business areas. Additional, dust generation and resuspension also

resulted from vehicles passing over unsealed roads particularly in the Highlands

Highway section traversing Simbu Province and make the value of PM10 and

PM2.5 higher than the standards.

• Noise Level: In-situ noise level measurements were conducted in the same

location as the selected air quality measurement. Results of monitoring indicate

16

that the noise levels in 2 locations of Kundiawa Town and Waghi Market were

75 dBA and higher than WHO Standards (70 dB or less in daytime).

• Surface Water Quality: Parameters of temperature, pH, turbidity were sampled

in-situ by portable sampling equipment. Parameters of Biochemical Oxygen

Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Nitrogen, Total

Phosphorus, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Oil and Grease, and Total Coliform

Bacteria were sampled and analyzed at Laboratory. According to surface water

analysis results, the parameters such as pH, BOD5, COD, Nitrogen, and Total

P were satisfied WHO Standards. However, the parameters such as DO, TSS

and Oil and Grease were higher than the permissible value of the regulation.

The reasons were that there were flooded in some areas during the monitoring

time and local communities are using river water for bathing, laundry, fishing and

recreational activities.

• Ground Water Quality: Parameters of temperature, pH, turbidity were sampled

in-situ by portable sampling equipment. Parameters of Total Coliform Bacteria,

E. Coli, Arsenic, Chloride, Flouride, Total Dissolved Solids, Nitrate, Nitrite,

Hardness, Sodium, and Iron were sampled and analyzed at Laboratory.

According to groundwater analysis results, the parameters of ground water were

satisfied the permissible value of WHO.

• Terrestrial and Riparian Ecosystems: Inventories of terrestrial flora and fauna

species were undertaken in 24 sites along the Highlands Highway from Nadzab

airport turnoff to Kagamuga airport turnoff. Each of these sites were surveyed

for mammals, birds, frogs and reptiles, invertebrates, insects, riparian

biodiversity and plants in general. The habitat types are modified with coffee

trees, food gardens, and patches off forests. There were no wildlife management

or protected areas along the corridor.

27. Updated IEE and EMP of SHHIP-Tranche 1: The IEE and EMP of SHHIP-Tranche 1

have been updated based on the detail civil works of SHHIP-Tranche 1 and the results

of Environmental Baseline Survey. The main updated are:

• Detail description of civil works of SHHIP - Tranche 1;

• Updated current environmental status of the project area based on the

environmental baseline survey results;

• Revised the impacts of the SHHIP Tranche 1;

• A new section referred to cumulative impacts of SHHIP-Tranche 1;

• Revised Environmental Management Plan.

5.0 SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS MONITORING

35. Almost all Tranche 1 activities (road maintenance, upgrading and rehabilitation works) are

mostly limited to the current road alignments and within the 40-meter widths - considered as

State Land according to the legislative provisions of the Government of Papua New Guinea

(GoPNG). There are no Involuntary Resettlement (IR) impacts or impacts on the Indigenous

Peoples – both within the definitions of the applicable Standards, Procedures, Policies and

Guidelines of SHHIP Co-Partners, viz. GoPNG, ADB and the DFAT. Thus, Tranche 1 has been

appropriately categorized as “Category C” Program for IR while Indigenous Peoples Policies,

Procedures, Guidelines, etc. have not been triggered so far (not applicable) in PNG

circumstances.

36. Implementation of social safeguards during the reporting period (Jan - Jun ‘19) has been found

to be compliant with all applicable social safeguard requirements. Following sections provide

further details in this regard.

5.1. Compliance with Loan Covenants

37. SHHIP is following relevant social safeguards covenants overall during this reporting period

(Summary Table is attached as Appendix 1). The relevant safeguard provisions as required

have been also integrated into the contract documents while their overall implementation is

being monitored by safeguard team.

38. SHHIP has been also been compliant with monitoring and disclosure as a requirements. The

initial social safeguards DDR was posted on ADB website in Mar’17. Other safeguards

documents that have been posted on ADB website include Land Acquisition and Resettlement

Framework, Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework and Gender Action Plan, etc.

5.2. Implementation of Due Diligence Report

39. Due Diligence Report (DDR) has been prepared for Tranche 1, indicating 17 identified locations

and five potential ones as resolution pending legacy issue localities. The resolution of legacy

issues has been completed in seven of such sites: (i) Keranga, Simbu; (ii) Tem Nike Creek,

Simbu; (iii) Magi, Simbu; (iv) Kuglame, Simbu; (v) Avani Culvert, Eastern Highlands; (vi)

Kolwara, Eastern Highlands; and (vii) Kassam Pass area, Eastern Highlands. Likewise,

Engineering(river/drainage management) solution is found to be preferred solution for four of

the sites: (Orange/Fruit Market, Jiwaka; (ii) Waghi, Jiwaka; (iii) Ba Creek, Simbu; and (iv) Kongo

Coffee area, Simbu. Legacy issue resolution process is ongoing for the remaining such sites

and two newly identified ones. The time-taking steps and with engagement of multiple agencies

for the purpose makes the resolution of legacy issues complicated – especially for those

pending for decades. Validating the integrity of the claims made is another challenge

contributing to the extensive efforts and time required for completion of the entire process.

PMO team has been providing supports to DoW teams in expediting the resolutions.

27

40. Updating the DDR with more comprehensive details on the assessment of legacy issue sites

is being undertaken by PMO and is scheduled to be completed by Jul’19. It will be further

updated in tandem with completion of joint surveys and finalization of site-specific engineering

designs/work scopes as may be recommended by the Geo-Engineering studies currently

ongoing especially in the RIC (Simbu) section.

41. Resolution of legacy issues, specially designed Memorandum of Agreements (MoAs) with the

affected persons/people (APs) or voluntary land donation (VLD) approaches are planned to

precede locality-specific civil works, ensuring adherence to applicable social safeguards

standards/legislative provisions of the ADB and GoPNG. Required templates for the MoAs and

VLD have been prepared and consultations with the communities/private asset owners have

been ongoing.

42. For any unanticipated adverse social impacts on landowners due to involuntary resettlement

and/or on Indigenous People (IP), inter alia, required documentation, appropriate corrective

action plan (CAP) preparation and implementation shall be done, if so, triggered during

implementation of SHHIP works.

5.3. Implementation of Gender Action Plan

43. Implementation of the Gender Action Plan (GAP) is ongoing as planned. While the required

contract-linked GAP provisions have been integrated in the contract documents including local

employment generation, ongoing works include preparation of relevant plans, viz.,

HIV/AIDS/STI Awareness plan, Workers Management Plan, Community Livelihood

Enhancement Plan, etc. – aimed at their implementation in parallel with the civil works.

44. Local Employment Generation by the Contractors for female workers in road construction and

maintenance activities has been found to be challenging for all Contractors. Though this has

been reported to be so due to the traditional job-division system of local communities where

mostly male members perform construction-sector jobs, Contractors have been advised and

are being supported to make concerted efforts to hike the participation of female members of

the societies in the upcoming periods adhering to SHHIP norms in an endeavor to meet 30%

female workers out of the total local workers engaged in road construction and maintenance

activities during overall SHHIP implementation period. Table 15 below shows the current status

of local (PNG) employment generation by respective Contractors as per SHHIP requirements

for the reporting period.

45. Social Infrastructure Plan (SIP) preparation works are ongoing- adhering primarily to SHHIP

GAP provisions. Such social infrastructure under SHHIP include market stalls, bus bays,

gender-segregated public sanitary facilities, pedestrian paths, etc. Survey works for

determining their appropriate locations and numbers based on needs and demands of the

communities have been completed within the reporting period (Jun ’19) for all three CW

sections as planned. Works are currently ongoing on data analysis, designs, costings, etc. The

demands of the communities have been found to be significantly high (preliminary analysis

indicates more than double of the current number of bus shelters, for instance). The ongoing

analysis, design and costing works will lead to finalization of the numbers and types of the

social infrastructure, culminating into a comprehensive Social Infrastructure Plan (SIP) for

SHHIP - planned to be finalized within Dec’19.

46. HIV/AIDS/STIs Awareness Plans have been prepared by the Contractors for all three SHHIP

sections. They have been reviewed/vetted by PMO and approved by the Construction

Supervision Consultant. Adhering to GAP requirements, such plans are prepared with

schedules for conducting awareness programs for the Contractors’ personnel (staff and

workers) and communities (students, general public, drivers, Church groups, etc.) living along

the Highway section under each Contractor’s jurisdiction. Implementation and monitoring

supports are ongoing.

47. Implementation of road construction safety activities is also progressing. While PMO-based

road Safety Specialist is expected to be mobilized in the beginning of the next Quarter,

counterpart Specialists engaged with the CS2 have started with road construction safety

awareness activities. One of such awareness and training programs has been organized by

Bonifica Renardet (CS2) for China Harbour teams on 02 May’19 in Simbu.

29

6.0 CONSULTATION AND AWARENESS ACTIVITIES

48. During the reporting period, five different community consultation activities have been with

SHHIP communities at Yang Creek, Kolwara, Wara Simbu, Alta Creek/Orange Market and

Kuligap. Female participation in community consultations on an average remained at about

39% during the reporting period, just on the margin to make it 40% as per GAP indicator. The

highest (50%) participation of female members has been in the Orange Market community

consultation whereas the lowest (36.80%) in Yang Creek community consultation program.

Efforts continue to enhance the participation to at least above 40 percent as per GAP

provisions.

49. SHHIP general public awareness program has been launched for the entire 430km SHHIP

Highway during 14-18 Feb’19. Likewise, four different events for SHHIP awareness and

consultation have been organized targeting all three different (Provincial, District and Local)

levels of the Public Administrators during the reporting period - encompassing all five SHHIP

Provinces.

50. Multiple consultations with other SHHIP stakeholders conducted during the period include

those with the police and Defense Force representatives, DoW Provincial teams, and Daulo

and Four-mile Area Landowners’ Association representatives, amongst others. Summary of

such key activities is presented in Table 16 below.

7.0 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

51. The process for establishing Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) has been completed by

26 Jun ‘19 in all five provinces involving SHHIP – namely Morobe, Eastern Highlands, Simbu,

Jiwaka and Western Highlands. Headed by the respective Provincial Administrator, each

Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) thus formed has representatives from concerned Local,

District and Provincial authorities and is expected to be an effective platform for resolution of

grievances performing acceptance, investigation, mediation, and advisory functions, amongst

others.

52. SHHIP GRC orientation and consultation program has also been successfully conducted for all

committees. Provincial Administrators (except for Morobe where the Deputy Administrator

participated in), Provincial Police Commanders, Provincial Deputies, Works Managers, District

and Local level representatives, amongst others, participated in the orientation and

consultation program at each venue.

53. The Program Management Office (PMO) has been supporting the GRCs in their smooth

functioning working together with the Construction Supervision Consultants’ and Contractors’

teams. Table 17 presents further information on the GRCs formed for SHHIP.

Western Highlands Joseph Neng 21 Jun’19 26 Jun’19

54. Probably due to the fact that SHHIP Tranche 1 major civil works activities are yet to start, no

grievances have been received during the reporting period (Jan-Jun’19). However, each

periodic report originating from the Contractor is planned to have a dedicated GRM section and

be submitted to the PMO through the Engineer with required inputs. Further detailed section

on GRM with brief analysis matrix is planned for the upcoming report to be shared with the

ADB, GoPNG and DoW.

55. Target has exceeded from required 2 to actual 4 female GRC members within the initial

implementation year (2019) as one of the Gender Action Plan implementation monitoring

indicators.

8.0 SUMMARY OF MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS FINDINGS

56. Implementation of SHHIP activities have been compliant with SHHIP applicable environmental

and social safeguard standards, policies and procedures of the Program Co-Partners, viz.,

GoPNG, ADB and the DFAT.

8.1 Key environmental challenges encountered during the reporting period

57. Human resources: Although the environmental staff of the Contractors and the Consultants are

almost 100% mobilized, they need time to study and get familiar with the Program. Additionally,

most of the mobilized staff is lacking experience in ADB environmental safeguards standards

resulting in the poor quality of documents prepared, not meeting the requirements of the

Program and demanding a lot of effort and time for revision as per the Consultants’ and PMO’s

comments. Furthermore, the resignation of the international environmental staff of CSC1 is

causing many difficulties to the management and implementation of environmental works of

the CSC1 and CW1 as well.

58. CEMP approval: CEMPs of CW1, CW2 and RIC have been prepared, and revised as per the

comments of the Consultants and PMO and have been approved. However, The CEMPs shall

be revised throughout the construction period in response to, and whenever there are any

changes in conditions such as: design, construction procedures and methods, schedule, terms

and conditions of permits and approvals, mitigation measures, and other requirements.

59. Quarry areas: Quarry areas of CW1 (Singsing Creek Extraction) and RIC (Ganigle) have got

environmental permits from CEPA and have prepared the Quarry Management Plans as well,

being submitted to the Consultants for review. The CW2 have recently secured an agreement

with the Landowner of the Quarry Area at Bena, and the application for environmental permit

is to be submitted to CEPA.

60. Application of mitigation measures at site: During the current monitoring period, the Contractors

were basically preparing the campsites, were working on vegetation control, de-silt side drain,

road maintenance and emergency works. However, the safety measures were not properly

applied such as some driver’s licenses were expired, high visibility safety vests and PPE were

not fully provided to all workers and unsafety issues in fuel storages of campsites, lack of safety

devices in sections of campsites and quarry areas, were observed.

8.2 Key social challenges encountered during the reporting period

61. Delayed mobilization of the contractors’ and Construction Supervision Consultants' social

personnel: This required enhanced engagement of the PMO social team in implementation

monitoring, plan preparation and other supports for compliance assurances and preparatory

works. Multiple interactions and follow ups have been made with each CS Consultant and

Contractor. While CS1 team is yet to have the required Social Safeguard Officer onboard, the

33

other teams have been progressing with their recruitments during the end of the reporting

period. Required follow up and support is being provided by the PMO.

62. Resolution of legacy issues remains challenging: The time-taking steps and works from multiple

agencies make the resolution of legacy issues complicated – especially for those pending for

decades. PMO team has been providing supports to DoW teams in expediting the resolutions

while consultations for MOAs with in-kind supports to legacy-issue-affected landowners are

also ongoing.

63. Women/female participation in community consultation activities: Though female participation

has been progressing with each subsequent community consultation meeting, it is yet to meet

the 40% target. Efforts are being made through enhanced information dissemination and

awareness on part of the key stakeholders to hike the current 39% participation figure to meet

the target during overall SHHIP implementation period as required.

64. Meeting local employment targets remains challenging: In order to enhance local community

participation in SHHIP works, Contractors are required to engage community workers for road

construction and maintenance activities, with 30% of the local manpower engaged as female

workers. However, it remains low (below 9%) as of the reporting period. Though this has been

found to be so due to the traditional job-division system of local communities where mostly

male members perform construction-sector jobs, PMO and CSCs has been supporting

Contractors in developing their Manpower (Human Resource) Plans with concerted efforts to

increase the current overall Program-wide participation of female workers during the reporting

period to 30% as is required according to contract provisions during SHHIP implementation

period, overall.
