I. Introduction

1. This Project Paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to provide an additional Credit in an amount of SDR 21.2 million (US$32 million equivalent) to the Republic of Mozambique Water Resources Development Project (P107350: Credit Number 5307).

2. The proposed additional Credit includes SDR 21.2 million (US$32 million equivalent) from the IDA 16 Crisis Response Window to help finance the costs associated with new activities included as part of project restructuring to support the Government of Mozambique’s response to the sudden and extreme flooding in southern Mozambique in 2013.

3. The proposed additional Credit is intended to finance the costs of emergency rehabilitation of civil works in the Limpopo River basin and longer-term interventions informed through integrated flood management and mitigation studies. In particular, emergency rehabilitation works on prioritised dykes and levees, along with short-term emergency measures on the Macarretane Barrage, are required immediately to ensure a minimum flood protection platform in preparation for the next flood season (October-March). Longer-term interventions will support the re-design and re-construction of existing flood-protection infrastructures along with the longer-term measures required for the rehabilitation of the Macarretane Barrage on the Limpopo River.

4. The Results Framework has been updated to reflect the additional activities under the additional Credit.

5. The disbursement categories under both the original Credit and the additional Credit are to be consolidated as much as possible. This will allow flexibility in allocation of funds to enable a more effective response to the emergency context.

6. The additional Credit is part of a concerted, multi-donor partnership that includes various parallel co-financing. The Netherlands is providing Technical Assistance (estimated to be around US$260,000) to assist in expediting technical specification, procurement documentation and providing support to implementation and oversight of civil works. The African Development Bank is providing US$1 million for early response financing with longer term support within the context of developments in the Limpopo River basin through rehabilitation of the Massingir Dam (roughly US$34 million) and associated small holder irrigation scheme, complimented through resources under the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (US$15.75 million) and US$3 million for assessing the feasibility of Mapai Dam. The United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID)1 has indicated its interest in providing around US$20 million in parallel co-financing to the flood recovery response through the World Bank administered Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR). This includes an estimated US$3.5 million for enhanced digital terrain mapping to inform spatial planning, modelling and climate-resilience infrastructure development within the Limpopo River basin.

1 Proposed DFID support is subject to formal approval by the UK Secretary of State for International Development – expected October 2013.

2

II. Background and Rationale for Additional Financing in the amount of $32 million equivalent 7. The proposed Additional Financing has been allocated as part of the Bank’s crisis response to support the Government of Mozambique’s efforts after the sudden and extreme flooding in the Lower Limpopo valley and other areas of Mozambique in 2013. Over 170,000 people had to be evacuated and 113 lives were lost, making this the worst disaster to hit Mozambique since the 2000 floods. An assessment carried out by the Bank in response to the disaster estimated the short-term reconstruction needs at approximately US$403 million, of which immediate physical restoration costs primarily in roads, water infrastructure (dykes, weirs and levees) and agriculture-related infrastructure are estimated at US$127 million. Initial estimates are that the floods would result in GDP growth 1.4 percentage points lower than pre-flood estimates, to an estimated 7% for 2013. Inflation is projected to accelerate to 7.1% towards the end of the year, 2 percentage points higher than pre-floods projections.

8. The response is consistent with the Country Partnership Strategy FY12-15 discussed by the Executive Directors on February 08, 2012. The CPS is aligned with the theme of inclusive and broad-based growth articulated in the Government’s Plano de Acção de Redução de Pobreza (PARP) and has two cross-cutting pillars with a supporting foundation. Acknowledging the high vulnerability of Mozambique to extreme weather events and the economic impacts associated with recurrent floods and droughts, the CPS includes a “Vulnerability and Resilience” pillar. Mozambique ranks third among African countries most exposed to risks from extreme weather events with as much as 58% of the population and more than 37% of GDP at risk from two or more hazards. Each major shock can reduce GDP growth on average by 5.6%, an annual average of around 1.1%. Observed trends and future scenarios suggest climate change will increase the extremity of weather patterns. The CPS recognises the country’s susceptibility to idiosyncratic and exogenous shocks and aims to encourage climate change adaptation in order to reduce vulnerability to natural disasters. The additional Credit therefore forms an important part of a comprehensive range of interventions being supported around water resources, climate change, and disaster risk reduction and recovery.

Original Project: National Water Resources Development Project (P107350)

9. The National Water Resources Development Project (NWRDP) is a SDR 43.8 million (US$70 million equivalent) IDA operation that was approved on August 19, 2011 and declared effective on January 31, 2012. The Implementing Agencies are the National Directorate for Water (DNA - Direcção Nacional de Águas) and the five Regional Water Authorities (ARAs - Administrações Regional de Águas). The Project Development Objective is to strengthen the development and management of national water resources and increase the yield of the Corumana Dam to augment water supply for the greater Maputo metropolitan area. There have been no changes to the original project’s objectives, design or scope, including the following four components:

• Component A - Water Resources Management (US$11 million equivalent) supports improved planning of water resources; increased capacity for negotiations, monitoring and compliance with international water agreements; strengthening capacity of Mozambique’s

3

water authorities to develop strategies and studies for sustainable and equitable water resources development (e.g. Zambezi River); facilitating water allocation, licensing, revenue and compliance work; and development of hydro-climatic information management systems (supported through the Mozambique Climate Resilience: Transforming Hydro-Meteorological Services Project, P1310492).

• Component B - Completion of the Corumana Dam: Civil & Hydro-Mechanical Works (US$42 million equivalent) finances the completion of the Corumana Dam through the installation of spillway gates with repair works of concrete pillars/abutments; construction of a saddle dam with an emergency spillway; development of a monitoring system; provision of safety equipment; and adoption of dam safety measures.

• Component C - Completion of the Corumana Dam: Environmental and Social (US$5.5 million equivalent) finances the implementation of the Environmental Management Plan and the Resettlement Action Plan with a Community Livelihood Plan.

• Component D - Water Resources Development (US$7 million equivalent) supports feasibility studies; tender designs, strategic assessments and basin plans; development of a pipeline of future water resource investments; and environmental and social assessments.

Status of Implementation of Original Project (P107350)

10. The Project is considered to be performing satisfactorily and thus eligible for Additional Financing in line with the OP 10.00 definition. The ISR ratings over the past 12 months have consistently been rated moderately satisfactory or better; and there is substantial compliance with the loan covenants including audit and financial management reporting requirements.

11. Progress towards achieving the project development objective has been consistently rated satisfactory since project effectiveness. Implementation progress was also rated satisfactory, although downgraded to moderately satisfactory in the most recent supervision mission due to delays in procurement of key contracts.

12. Given progress to date the Project is expected to achieve its development objectives. The PDO-level project indicators are:

Indicator Three: Incremental reservoir yield available from Corumana Dam for GMMA

The procurement for the Detailed Design and Supervision Contract for completion of the Corumana Dam is in the final stages of procurement with the Request for Proposals being launched in May 2013. Rehabilitation works will begin thereafter.

13. There are no outstanding fiduciary issues relating to the NWRDP. All project audits have been received on time. The project is following World Bank procurement procedures and other than delays acknowledged during the last implementation support mission, no procurement issues have been identified.

14. There are no outstanding legal covenants related to project implementation. The disbursement conditions associated with Category 2 of the Financing Agreement relating to environmental permits and licenses from MICOA prior to initiating any civil works are not yet due and have been retained in their original format.

15. Key Risks are outlined in Annex 1: Operational Risk Assessment Framework (ORAF). The overall risk rating at this stage of implementation is Moderate.

Rationale for Additional Financing

16. This additional Credit is being provided under the provisions of paragraph 11 of OP/BP 10.00 Investment Project Financing to include new emergency activities, including rehabilitation of damaged flood-protection infrastructures and technical studies for improved flood management and mitigation in southern Mozambique. The additional Credit of SDR 21.2 million (US$32 million equivalent) will be allocated to the following two existing components of the Original Project:

• Component A - Water Resources Management (US$4 million IDA). Activities will include Integrated Flood Management and Mitigation Studies for the Limpopo River basin in Mozambique to inform longer-term infrastructure investments and planning.

• Component D - Water Resources Development (US$28 million). Activities will include: (i) emergency civil works to rehabilitate and reconstruct prioritized dykes and levees; (ii) rehabilitation of the Macarretane Barrage on the Limpopo River, including hydro-mechanical works, gate control system, reinforcement of foundations, and the rehabilitation of office buildings; (iii) technical assistance and supervision associated with the emergency civil works; and, (iv) other improvements to the existing infrastructure of dykes and levees associated with the on-going scheme of flood-protection in order to increase resilience to flooding by “building back better”.

Implications of triggering OP/BP 10.00, Paragraph 11

17. As part of the Bank’s support under the IDA Crisis Response Window, this Additional Financing triggers Paragraph 11 of OP/BP 10.00 as a “Project in Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance”, where the Recipient is in “(i) urgent need of assistance because of a natural disaster”. The processing implications of this are outlined below.

18. Pursuant to Paragraph 11 of OP/BP 10.00, certain fiduciary, environmental and social safeguards requirements have been deferred to the project implementation phase in compliance with the procedures for “Projects in Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance (i)”. The applicable requirements are those under: OP/BP 4.01 Environmental Assessment (for Environmental Category A and B projects), OP/BP 4.11 Physical Cultural Resources, OP/BP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement, and OP/BP 11.00 Procurement.

19. Safeguards. The Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF) outlines the application of the safeguards policies for implementation and is referred to in the Appraisal ISDS. Site specific Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) will be prepared in accordance with BP 10.00, Paragraph 47a. An Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) may be prepared, as necessary, during project implementation. The civil works financed by the AF will also conform to the Bank’s dam safety requirements.

20. Procurement. Special procurement arrangements provided for in OP/BP 11.00 Paragraph 20 are being applied to the Additional Financing. These allow for support to rapid work rehabilitation and studies procured in a manner that satisfies the considerations of economy and efficiency (including national procurement procedures of the borrower, and direct contracting).

21. Retroactive Financing. Pursuant with OP/BP 10.00, Paragraph 14, provisions will be included to allow for retroactive financing of up to 40% of the additional Credit for payments made by the Recipient for eligible expenditures incurred not more than 12 months before the date of legal agreement signing. Procurement of emergency works have been launched under National Competitive Bidding to allow for interventions before the next flood season (October to March). Disbursements for civil works will take place pending the Recipient’s adherence with safeguard documents including completion of environmental and social safeguards due diligence (preparation of plans or audits).

III. Proposed Changes

22. The Project Development Objective remains unchanged. Flood management and mitigation covered by the additional financing are an integral part of water resources development and management, provisions for which are included in the original PDO which remains: to strengthen the development and management of national water resources and increase the yield of the Corumana Dam to augment water supply for the greater Maputo metropolitan area.

23. The implementation arrangements remain unchanged. The Project Management and Administration Team (PAMT) within the National Directorate for Water (established as part of

6

the Original Project, NWRDP) will support the technical teams in DNA, ARA-Sul, INAM and INGC in the implementation of the priority activities under the Additional Financing.

24. The environmental category of the Original Project remains a Category A. The environmental category of the additional Credit is therefore retained as a Category A, despite the fact that the works envisaged would be considered Category B if assessed independent of the Original Project.

25. The Results Framework has been updated to reflect the additional activities under the additional Credit.

26. The disbursement categories in the Financing Agreement have been revised for both the Original Project and the additional Credit. . This will allow greater flexibility in the allocation of funds and enable a more effective response to the emergency context.

27. The project closing date remains unchanged (December 15, 2017).

IV. Appraisal Summary

Economic and Financial Analysis

28. Mozambique is the third country most at risk from water and weather-related hazards in Africa. As much as 58% of the population and more than 37% of GDP risk exposure to two or more natural hazards - translating into 1.1% annual average loss in GDP. With more than 60% of the Mozambican population living in low-lying, topographically flat areas and in coastal zones, exposure to floods and cyclones is high and even small changes in sea level or river flow have far reaching impacts. In economic terms, floods have direct and negative impact on GDP growth by affecting agriculture, electricity generation, mining, transport, and communications. On average, floods cause annual losses of US$17.5 million in damaged household/shelter, US$0.7 million in damaged roads and US$42.5 million in loss of staple crops.

On average, floods cause annual losses of US$17.5 million in damaged household/shelter, US$0.7 million in damaged roads and US$42.5 million in loss of staple crops.

30. In January and February of 2013, extreme floods hit southern Mozambique in the lower stretches of the Limpopo and Incomati Rivers basins. The impacts have been mostly felt in rural communities in the Province of Gaza, destroying livelihoods of many communities. Over 170,000 people had to be evacuated and 113 lives were lost3, making this the worst disaster to hit Mozambique since the 2000 floods. The floods destroyed almost all crops along 89,000 ha of cultivated land, affecting food security and livelihoods of the entire population, and especially of more than 48,000 smallholder farmers and their families who are largely reliant on agriculture for their subsistence requirements. In addition, the floods caused substantial losses to commercial agriculture.4 The floods in the Limpopo River valley hit one of the most productive agricultural areas of the country, damaging the country’s largest irrigation scheme (47,700 ha). The floods also severely damaged health and education systems, transport infrastructure, irrigation schemes, municipal water supply systems, urban drainage and sanitation, and flood protection dykes in the Lower Limpopo valley. In addition to damaging the Chokwé Hospital (which still remains closed) and 8 health centres, the floods destroyed 238 classrooms and damaged 450 more, further increasing health and educational challenges – for example by elevating the incidence of malaria and water-borne diseases. Substantial damage was also inflicted on transport infrastructure, from the railway line linking Maputo Port to Zimbabwe, to bridges, main national roads, as well as the unpaved road system across the Limpopo Valley.

3 The 2000 floods had caused over 700 deaths. The lower mortality in 2013 is due largely to improved early warning systems linked to disaster preparedness contingency planning and based on an alert system introduced after the 2000 floods. Similarly, many of the structures rehabilitated after 2000 incorporated better hydrology and drainage designs, so they resisted the 2013 floods more effectively.

4 For example, the MozFoods processing plant in Chókwe lost 3,500 tons of rice and may be unable to reopen.

31. An assessment carried out by the World Bank in response to the disaster, estimated that short-term5 physical damages alone were in the order of US$403 million, of which immediate physical restoration costs are estimated at US$127 million, primarily in roads, water infrastructure (dykes, weirs and levees) and agriculture-related infrastructure. The GDP growth forecasts for 2013 fell from 8.4% to 7%, and inflation is projected as high as 7.1% by the end of 2013 (a 2 percentage point increase from the pre-floods projection).

Technical Analysis

32. The additional Credit is intended to support a series of short-term, emergency interventions in response to the impacts of flooding in southern Mozambique and longer term activities to increase the resilience and reduce the vulnerabilities to recurrent flooding. Emergency rehabilitation works have been identified as part of a multi-stakeholder response to the floods in 2013. This process was led by Government and involved the support of various cooperating partners, NGOs, and community organisations. This resulted in a series of assessments and a prioritized list of interventions. The UN issued a Response and Recovery to cover the estimated needs of the initial humanitarian and early recovery phases, but did not include any reconstruction of damaged assets. The World Bank undertook a multi-sectoral assessment supplemented by a team of experts from the Netherlands. These assessments focused on prioritisation of the reconstruction and rehabilitation of dykes and levees, as well as the short-term emergency measures on the Macarretane Barrage, in the Limpopo River basin in order to restore existing infrastructure and ensure a minimum flood protection platform in preparation for the next flood season from October to March. The activities include three elements to address the following:

i. The immediate emergency rehabilitation works on prioritized dykes and levees, as well as emergency measures on the Macarretane Barrage, in the Limpopo River basin required to restore the existing infrastructure and ensure a minimum flood protection platform in preparation for the next flood season from October to March;

ii. Strategic studies to inform longer-term interventions that will inform infrastructure investments and planning, as well as strengthening of early warning systems and monitoring of extreme water and weather events, to improve flood management and mitigation; and,

iii. Support the re-design and re-construction of flood-protection infrastructures, along with the rehabilitation of the Macarretane Barrage on the Limpopo River, as part of a series of interventions to “build-back-better”.

33. Flood Protection Dykes (US$12 million). The majority of the dykes and levees are situated in and around Chókwe and Xai-Xai and were established as an integral part of the primary canal system associated with various irrigation schemes and to provide protection to the population. These were developed in the 1950s with limited hydrological information to assess the return period associated with major hydrological events. The extended duration of the hydrological

record, particularly the series of large flood events over the past few decades have shifted the average return period. Similar damage was observed during the 2000 floods and a comprehensive program was implemented to restore these to their pre-2000 flood condition. The Government has financed a preliminary evaluation within the context of the extended hydrological information now available to inform appropriate design standards that can ensure an adequate degree of protection against future flood events.

34. Rehabilitation of the dykes and levees is being pursued through a series of phased activities in an effort to expedite the emergency works to provide a minimum platform in preparation for the flood season (October to March). The Government as allocated an initial MZN60 million for the first phase construction and supervision. The additional IDA Credit will be used to finance five initial small works contracts and three supervision contracts under phase 2, with a similar number envisaged under phase 3. Procurement has been launched through a National Competitive Bidding process with five works contracts for rehabilitation of the dykes and levees advertised locally in Mozambique. Proposals are currently under evaluation with a combined value envisaged at around US$5 million. Procurement for Consulting Services to provide Technical Assistance and Supervision of the works has also been launched. This includes consultants for supervision of civil works in the dykes in the Chókwe area, supervision of works in the dykes of the Xai-Xai area.

35. Rehabilitation of the Macarretane Barrage (US$16 million). The Macarretane Barrage is a 650 meter long barrage across the Limpopo River 50 km upstream of the Chókwe irrigation scheme. It consists of 40 piers and 39 gates that serve to regulate water levels in the Limpopo River in order to supply irrigation water to the Chókwe Irrigation Scheme. An extensive rehabilitation program on the barrage was undertaken from 2002 to 2008 with support from a US$10.2 million loan from the Islamic Development Bank approved in 1999. This included modernisation and renovation of the hydro-mechanical equipment, rehabilitation of stop-logs and their hoisting mechanism, hinged gates control system and power supply panels.

36. Emergency equipment is required, along with associated works, to repair and replace the hydro-mechanical equipment to ensure that it continues to assist in regulating floods and securing water flows for irrigation purposes. The floods destroyed the electrical works associated with control of the hydro-mechanical system necessitating manual operation of the 39 gates. This limits the utility and operation of the system to ensure water levels needed to secure supply for the irrigation scheme, undermines response times and increases the associated risks with response to recurrent floods. A National Competitive Bidding process has been launched.

37. Civil works are required to stabilise the downstream terrace of the Macarretane Barrage. Hydraulic changes resulting from the earlier rehabilitation efforts and operation of the gates have accentuated downstream scouring resulting in scour holes in the river bed as deep as 9m. These have the potential to undermine the downstream terrace and the safe operation of the barrage. Re-enforcement of the downstream terrace will be supported following the conclusion of more detailed assessments to be financed under the project. Interim rehabilitation measures will also be financed. This includes measures to fill the scour holes to provide short term stabilisation of the downstream terrace to avoid further scouring during the next flood season. Works are also being procured to re-enforce the left bank.

38. Integrated Flood Management and Mitigation (US$4 million). The additional Credit would finance a basin plan that would review, identify, and prepare a series of strategic, integrated multi-sectoral investments aimed at improving the resilience and reducing the risk of damage from flooding to communities, infrastructure and livelihoods in the lower Limpopo River basin. This would build on the previous work undertaken following the floods of 2000 (e.g. the EU financed flood study) and would complement on-going initiatives at the basin level, such as the basin monograph being financed by GIZ, the AfDB PPCR program (which includes two investment projects in the lower Limpopo valley) and the USAID financed RESLIM Program.

39. The plan would be based on the principles of giving the river room and incorporate an assessment of alternative and complementary non-structural, spatial planning measures to increase the resilience of the basin to future flood events. These would seek to spatially integrate natural systems with artificial interventions, balancing incentive-based and supply-driven measures with minimum footprints and externalities to provide sustainable water services and management of related climate risks. This would build on the existing topographic survey work undertaken for river sections, the flood plain, and major hydraulic structures along with the hydrologic studies of the Limpopo River floods.

40. High resolution, digital topographic data will be supported through a parallel initiative financed by DFID through the GFDRR. This will include Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) surveys and associated applications, coupled with high resolution orthophotos. This is subject to formal approval by the UK Secretary of State for International Development, which is expected in October 2013. These will be integrated with the outputs from ongoing efforts with support from the GFDRR, and earlier data available for the Elefantes River, to provide the basis for a range of tools. Coupled with the parallel investments directed toward strengthening the hydrological and meteorological networks under the PPCR, these high resolution tools will improve hydrological and hydraulic models, and the assessment of flood risks and identification of areas at risk from inundation. The data and images will also inform spatial planning and emergency response measures to enhance climate resilient, multi-sectoral planning, particularly for urban areas, development of road networks and the agricultural sector. The data and applications will be made available through public domain platforms to ensure access and availability to a range of stakeholders and encourage further refinement of tools.

41. The Integrated Flood Management and Mitigation Plan would evaluate a range of potential flood management options and provide pre-feasibility level assessments for identified structural interventions to define an optimal solution to improving flood prevention, mitigation and management. “Building-Back-Better” is intended to capitalize on the post-flood opportunities to integrate enhanced flood protection measures in the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure. These measures are aimed at supporting the re-design and re-construction of flood-protection infrastructures in order to reduce vulnerability and enhance the resilience to future flood events. Potential flood management investments could assess:

- the benefits of the Mapai Dam on the main stem of Limpopo River in advance preparation for the feasibility studies envisaged under the African Water Facility;

12

- conjunctive operation with the Massingir Dam on the Elephants River in flood management, including with the Macarretane Barrage;

- opportunities for an improved network of dedicated dykes, levees, river bunds, and off channel diversions/storage for flood protection;

- role and contribution of inflows from the Changane River sub-basin to the flood dynamics; - patterns and projections of human development in the basin; and, - the potential for an integrated road network that could also serve to increase resilience and

routing of flood waters.

42. Enhanced international cooperation and the implementation of alternative interventions to reduce flood severity and damage would also be assessed and incorporated into the recommendation actions for addressing the systemic long-term challenges associated with the flooding of the lower Limpopo River. These include improved benefits from further enhancement of the early warning systems, supported under the PPCR-financed Climate Resilience: Transforming Hydrological and Meteorological Services Project (P131049).

Social Analysis

43. The proposed emergency civil works will reinforce the infrastructure capacity of the Government to manage water flows and mitigate flooding. These works are not expected to require the acquisition of land or the displacement of population. An Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF) has been prepared to guide the development of appropriate instruments in accordance with World Bank safeguard policies during implementation (see Annex 3). Environmental and social management for the civil works will be done in compliance with an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) which will reflect both World Bank Operational Safeguards Policies and guidelines and the applicable laws and regulations of the Government of Mozambique. The ESMP is under preparation by the National Directorate of Water and will be disclosed in-country and through the Bank’s InfoShop.

44. Major negative social impacts are not foreseen as resulting from the planned civil works. However, the ESMP will include a screening, checklist and remedial procedures and requirements should negative impact be identified (such as land acquisition or limitations to access to land).

45. An Environmental and Social Service Provider is in the process of being contracted under the Original Project to support implementation of the environmental and social management plan for the Corumana Dam rehabilitation. This is being complimented through a Technical Assistance contract aimed at providing an on-call facility to support just-in-time strategic interventions in support of the projects overall objectives. This includes the provision for social expertise and will be available to support implementation oversight on the emergency civil works as required.

Environmental Analysis

46. The proposed emergency works are to support the rehabilitation, redesign and reconstruction of flood protection infrastructure, including dykes, levees and the Macarretane barrage damaged

13

in the 2013 floods. These works are not expected to have any negative environmental impacts. An Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF) has been prepared to guide the development of appropriate instruments in accordance with World Bank safeguard policies during implementation (see Annex 3).

47. The emergency civil works associated with the rehabilitation and reconstruction of flood protection infrastructure, including dykes, levees and the Macarretane Barrage in the lower Limpopo River basin, could have temporary impacts on the bio-physical environment during implementation. To manage and mitigate these potential impacts site specific Environment and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) will be prepared by the National Directorate of Water to be implemented by the contractors in execution of the civil works.

48. The ESMPs will be guided by the Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework and prepared through a process of stakeholder consultation to ensure that it covers the necessary steps to manage and mitigate any potentially negative impacts. These could include but are not necessarily limited to:

a) mitigate risks of erosion and sedimentation around watercourses; b) restrict water and soil contamination on work sites and around work camps (including

littering and waste disposal); c) restrict generation of dust during construction; d) reduce risk of fire, cutting of trees for firewood, and trapping by construction workers; e) implement HIV/AIDS awareness programs; f) ensure sustainable water management at worksites and construction camps; g) ensure use of “chance find” procedures under OP 4.11; h) minimise risk of accidents and ensure occupational safety of workers on construction

sites; and, i) where applicable, ensure the works include dam safety measures.

49. The Integrated Flood Management and Mitigation Plan is intended to capitalise on the post-flood opportunities to integrate enhanced flood protection measures and promote the principle of “building-back-better”. The plan would evaluate a range of potential flood management and mitigation options aimed at supporting the re-design and re-construction of flood-protection infrastructures in order to reduce vulnerability and enhance the resilience to future flood events. Implementation of any measures would be subject to full environmental and social assessments in accordance with World Bank safeguard policies.

50. An Environmental and Social Service Provider is in the process of being contracted under the Original Project to support implementation of the environmental and social management plan for the Corumana Dam rehabilitation. This is being complimented through a Technical Assistance contract aimed at providing an on-call facility to support just-in-time strategic interventions in support of the projects overall objectives. This includes the provision for environmental expertise and will be available to support implementation oversight on the emergency civil works as required.

International Waterways

51. The new Project activities will be implemented within the Limpopo River basin, an international waterway shared by Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Mozambique is the downstream most riparian state. OP 7.50 is therefore applicable to the additional Project activities. An “Agreement on the Establishment of the Limpopo Watercourse Commission” (the LIMCOM Agreement) was signed on November 27, 2003 by Ministers responsible for water from the four riparian states. The LIMCOM Agreement provides for establishment of a Commission to “advise the Contracting Parties and provide recommendations on the uses of the Limpopo, its tributaries and its waters for purposes and measures of protection, preservation and management of the Limpopo”. However, the proposed works relate to “additions or alterations that require rehabilitation, construction, or other changes” to existing levees and dykes with no expansion or major redesign anticipated. Furthermore, given Mozambique is the downstream most riparian state these new Project activities will therefore not adversely change the quality or quantity of water flows to the other riparians and will not be adversely affected by the other riparians’ possible water use. On this basis it was determined that the Project falls under the exception to the riparian notification requirement under paragraph 7(a) of OP/BP 7.50 (Projects on International Waterways).

52. Risk: Moderate There are a number of short-term risks related to the predictability of the forthcoming flood season (October to March), the timing of the emergency rehabilitation civil works on priority infrastructures and the ability of regional mechanisms to support the efforts of the GoM to engage more effectively in the management and monitoring of water resources with upstream riparian states.

53. Delays in implementation of the procurement and execution of the emergency rehabilitation works has the potential to limit the resilience to possible flooding during the next flood season from October to March. The long-term regional weather forecast is predicting below-normal levels of precipitation until October.

54. The timing of implementation of the emergency rehabilitation works in relation to the flood season could pose significant risks to inundation during the works. This could result in delays, impacts on the works themselves and unforeseen cost escalations due to additional works.

55. Delays in processing and approval of the IDA resources coupled with limited Government resources to advance the works could undermine the efforts to secure the minimum works required to ensure flood protection prior to the onset of the flood season.

56. The emergency nature of the works could increase the governance risks associated with implementation. Additional support will be provided to ensure acceleration of implementation and oversight in execution of the various activities. A multi-donor partnership provides an effective mechanism to coordinate the technical assistance to provide additional support to government agencies to increase technical assurance in the quality of the works.

57. The risk of negative social and environmental impact is mitigated by the staffing and technical assistance being established under the Original Project. An Environmental and Social

15

Service Provider is in the process of being contracted under the Original Project to support implementation of the ESMP and the RAP for the restoration of the Corumana Dam. The Provider will be reporting to the National Directorate of Water and the Regional Water Authority for Southern Mozambique who are responsible for the civil works proposed with the Additional Financing. An ARAP may be prepared for the works financed under the AF. The AF will also ensure that the works, where applicable, include dam safety measures.

58. The service provider is being complimented through a Technical Assistance contract aimed at providing an on-call facility to support just-in-time strategic interventions in support of the projects overall objectives. This includes the provision for environmental expertise and will be available to support implementation oversight on the emergency civil works as required.

Project Stakeholder Risks

Stakeholder Risk Rating Low

Risk Description: Local communities: The completion of Corumana Dam will require relocation of households and farming plots in the project affected area. Consumers in the Greater Maputo Metropolitan Area: Failure to secure additional water supply before 2015 will result in additional and entrenched water shortages in the Greater Maputo Metropolitan Area (GMMA). NGOs & Conservation Groups: At a FSL of 117 mASL, riparian vegetation along the river channel extending 730 m into KNP in South Africa will be inundated by the extended reservoir inlet. Inundation is estimated to be confined to the river channel. A FSL of 117 mASL is expected at 10% of the time. The affected stretch will be reduced to 450 m if the reservoir is operated at 115 mASL.

Risk Management:

Local communities: An Environmental and Social Impact Assessments has been completed. The Resettlement Action Plan with a Community Livelihood Plan, include key interventions for income restoration, enhanced livelihood among hosting communities, and grievance mechanisms. A dedicated Environmental and Social Management Team will support implementation of the EMP and RAP. Labour provisions will increase employment opportunities during construction period. Grievance mechanisms based on local administrative and traditional mechanisms will support dialogue between implementing agencies and project affected communities.

Additional Financing: There is a risk of ineffective compliance with environmental and social safeguards requirement because: i) measures are deferred to implementation because of emergency processing, and ii) rehabilitation works of dykes and levees is under time-constraints to build flood management capacity before the next rainy seasons.

Risk Management: The implementing agencies, both DNA and ARA-Sul, have well-trained technical staff who are familiar with the Bank’s safeguard policies and requirements. The ESIA, EMP and RAP developed under the Original Project include detailed information and instructions on compliance. (The civil works supported by the Additional Financing would be classified as Environmental Category B if the works were financed under a stand-alone operation. The Original Project is classified Category A due to investments into a large dam).

Program and Donor Rating Moderate


There are a large number of partners involved in the water sector at the national level with inherent risks of coordination, duplication of efforts and over use of government resources. Additional Financing: With the floods of January 2013, the donor engagement increased dramatically for southern Mozambique. This has elevated the risk of uncoordinated efforts on the ground.

Collaboration within the sector and alignment to the sector framework essential through the existing working group. Active dialog with cooperating partners through DNA and Country Office will be maintained to ensure alignment with the MoU for donor coordination and identification of co-financing opportunities. GoM envisages project support as mechanisms to crowd in additional co-financing during implementation. For the Additional Financing, the Bank has actively worked with the other major donors in the water sector (the Netherlands and DFID in particular) and financing from DFID is being streamlined with Bank procedures through the GFDRR.

Annex 3: Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework

Mozambique: National Water Resources Development Flood Response Additional Financing (P146098)

I. Objectives

The Environmental and Social Screening and Assessment Framework (ESSAF) provides general policies, guidelines, codes of practice and procedures to be integrated into the implementation of World Bank supported flood response operation in Mozambique. The objective of the abbreviated ESSAF is to help ensure that activities will be in compliance with the national legislation of Mozambique and the World Bank’s operational safeguards policies. II. General Principles

As part of the Bank’s support under the IDA Crisis Response Window (CRW), this Additional Financing triggers Paragraph 11 of OP/BP 10.00 as a “Project in Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance”, where the Recipient is in “(i) urgent need of assistance because of a natural disaster”.

Pursuant to Paragraph 11 of OP/BP 10.00, specific environmental and social safeguards requirements will be deferred to the project implementation phase in compliance with the procedures for “Projects in Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance … in (i) urgent need of assistance because of a natural disaster”.

The applicable requirements are those under: OP/BP 4.01 Environmental Assessment, OP/BP 4.11 Physical Cultural Resources, OP/BP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement, and OP/BP 4.37 Safety of Dams. The original project has also triggered OP 4.04, but the works financed in the AF will not affect or involve natural habitats, and critical habitats are on the negative list (see Attachment 1). The project has been categorized as a Category A, due to the Original Project’s category. However, the screening of proposed activities suggests that this Additional Financing will finance investments conforming to Category B.

Recognising the emergency nature of the proposed operation and need for immediate assistance, while equally ensuring due diligence in managing potential environmental and social risks, this abbreviated Framework is based on the following principles:

• The environmental and social screening and mitigation efforts will be informed by the Safeguards documentation that was completed as part of the Original Project. Under the National Water Resources Development Project, a full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment was finalised and approved by the Bank, along with an Environmental Management Plan and a Resettlement Action Plan with Community Livelihood Plan. The documentation was discussed through public consultations and disclosed in-country and through the Bank’s InfoShop in 2011.

27

• The proposed Additional Financing will support civil works necessary for the rehabilitation of dykes and levees (water infrastructure to manage water flows and mitigate flooding). At the time of Appraisal, the full technical details of the civil works are still under preparation. The ESSAF provides guidance on the short-term approach to be taken during implementation for selection and design of the works, whilst also planning for any necessary mitigation measures.

• The Original Project of this Additional Financing is classified Environmental Category A due to its investments into the Corumana Dam. The civil works proposed with the Additional Financing can be classified as matching Environmental Category B provisions. The proposed investments are not foreseen to cause high-risk or significant environmental impact, nor requiring land acquisition affecting 200 people or more. Consequently, no full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment or Resettlement Action Plan is foreseen for the Additional Financing (should the screening not identify such need). Site-specific ESMPs will be prepared for the civil works financed in the AF. An ARAP may be prepared, as necessary. Where applicable, the AF will ensure dam safety measures are also in place. Because the Additional Financing follows the category of the Original Project, it maintains a Category A operation.

• The ESSAF will be disclosed and consulted upon. In those cases, where civil works have begun, the AF will disburse funds when environmental and social safeguards due diligence (plans or audits) has been completed.

III. Project Scope and Environmental and Social Safeguards considerations for the proposed Additional Financing

The additional Credit to the National Water Resources Development Flood Response Project is being provided under the provisions of paragraph 11 of OP/BP 10.00 Investment Project Financing to include new emergency activities, including rehabilitation of damaged flood-protection infrastructures and technical studies for improved flood management and mitigation in southern Mozambique. The additional Credit of SDR 21.2 million (US$32 million equivalent) will be allocated to the following two existing components of the Original Project:

• Component A: Water Resources Management (US$6 million). Activities will include: i) Integrated Flood Management and Mitigation Studies for the Limpopo River basin in Mozambique to inform longer-term infrastructure investments and planning.

• Component D: Water Resources Development (US$26 million). Activities will include: (i) emergency civil works to rehabilitate and reconstruct prioritized dykes and levees; (ii) rehabilitation of the Macarretane Barrage on the Limpopo River, including hydro-mechanical works, gate control system, reinforcement of foundations, and the rehabilitation of office buildings; (iii) technical assistance and supervision associated with the emergency civil works; and, (iv) other improvements to the existing infrastructure of dykes and levees associated with the on-going scheme of flood-protection in order to increase resilience to flooding by “building back better”.

28

The proposed civil works under this Additional Financing include rehabilitation of existing infrastructure – namely dykes damaged in the 2013 flooding and the Macarretane Barrage. These works are expected to have limited negative environmental and social impacts. Environmental and Social Management for all planned restoration works will be undertaken through the preparation and implementation of site specific Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs), which will follow both World Bank Operational Policies and guidelines and the applicable laws and regulations of the Government of Mozambique. Due to the emergency nature of the proposed AF, the ESMPs will be prepared during the project implementation.

The ESMPs will include Environmental Rules for Contractors and cover all necessary steps to mitigate potential negative impacts. These include, but are not restricted to: a) mitigate risks of erosion and sedimentation around watercourses; b) restrict water and soil contamination on work sites and around work camps (including littering and waste disposal); c) restrict generation of dust during construction; d) reduce risk of fire, cutting of trees for firewood, and trapping by construction workers; e) implement HIV/AIDS awareness programs; f) ensure sustainable water management at worksites and construction camps; g) ensure use of “chance find” procedures under OP 4.11; and h) minimize risk of accidents and ensure occupational safety of workers on construction sites.

An ARAP may be prepared during project implementation where land acquisition leading to involuntary resettlement and/or restrictions of access to resources or livelihoods occurs. The ARAP will follow the entitlement matrix set out in the RAP for the original project.

The Limpopo River is an international waterway shared by Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Mozambique is the downstream most riparian states. The emergency rehabilitation works will not therefore adversely change the quality or quantity of water flows to any of the other riparian states. The emergency rehabilitation works will not be affected by upstream riparian states. Similarly, any measures identified under the Integrated Flood Management and Mitigation Plan would be subject to due process of notification under the “Agreement on the Establishment of the Limpopo Watercourse Commission” (the LIMCOM Agreement) that was signed on November 27, 2003 by Ministers responsible for water from the four riparian states. The LIMCOM Agreement provides for establishment of a Commission to “advise the Contracting Parties and provide recommendations on the uses of the Limpopo, its tributaries and its waters for purposes and measures of protection, preservation and management of the Limpopo”. The resources available under the additional financing would be limited to civil works associated with minor additions to the existing network of flood management and mitigation measures (such as dykes, levees, flood ponds etc.) that would not adversely change the quality or quantity of water flows to the other riparian states.

IV. Responsibilities for Safeguard Screening and Mitigation

Responsibility for screening and mitigation is with the implementing agencies, the National Directorate of Water (DNA) and the Regional Water Authority for Southern Mozambique (ARA-Sul). Both agencies are part of the Ministry for Public Works and Housing. DNA and ARA-Sul have qualified staff responsible for environmental and social management, and who are familiar with the safeguards requirements of the World Bank (several have also received safeguards training).

To strengthen the environmental and social management capacity in DNA and ARA-Sul, recognising the added resources needed with the Original Project, an Environmental and Social Service Provider is in the process of being contracted to support implementation of the EMP and the RAP for the restoration of the Corumana Dam. The said Provider reports to DNA and ARA-Sul and will also be able to provide on-demand support for the civil works.

The service provider is being complimented through a Technical Assistance contract aimed at providing an on-call facility to support just-in-time strategic interventions in support of the projects overall objectives. This includes the provision for environmental expertise and will be available to support implementation oversight on the emergency civil works as required.

The selection, design, contracting, monitoring and evaluation of subprojects will be consistent with the following guidelines, codes of practice and requirements. These guidelines as part of the ESSAF will be published in the Bank InfoShop and in Mozambique as a stand-alone document.

(g) Attachment 7: Environmental and Social Screening Form. (h) All of the dam structures being repaired under the AF are considered as small dams under OP 4.37 (Dam Safety). The policy was triggered in the original Project due to investments into restoration of the Corumana Dam to its original height. However, the height of the Macarretane Barrage that will be rehabilitated with the Additional Financing is less than 15m and the reservoir capacity less than 1Mm3. A Panel of Expert on Dam Safety is in place under the Original Project and will advise on measures proposed for rehabilitation of the Macarretane Barrage. Where applicable, activities under the Additional Financing will also draw on the safety measures set out in the by the FAO “Manual on Small Earth Dams” 2010, available at http://www.fao.org/docrep/012/i1531e/i1531e.pdf V. Capacity Building and Monitoring Of Safeguard Framework Implementation

The Project will work with the Implementing Agencies to strengthen hydro-meteorological services funded by the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience – P131049). The Implementing Agencies (the National Directorate for Water (DNA - Direcção Nacional de Águas) and the five Regional Water Authorities (ARAs - Administrações Regional de Águas) have some experience with implementation of the World Bank safeguards policies, based on the implementation of the Original Project – National Water Resources Development Project. The project will draw on the experience and expertise of the Original Project. The Project Team will also be reinforced with an Environmental and Social specialist (ESS) who will be responsible for handling on the daily basis the implementation safeguards aspects of the project. The specialist will work closely with the Regional Water Authorities and project beneficiaries. If needed, further support will be provided through the recruitment of consultants. As part of the capacity building program to be

financed through the additional Credit, the relevant staff of the concerned Implementing Agencies, and contracted service providers will receive training in the application of the ESSAF. The capacity building program also includes training on longer-term environmental and social due-diligence for the project, focusing on implementation of ESMPs. When supervising the project, the World Bank task team will assess the implementation of the relevant safeguards instruments and recommend additional strengthening measures, if required. Information sharing with the public will be part of the capacity building plan, to be accomplished with the help of local media. VI. Consultation and Disclosure

This ESSAF has been prepared in consultation with the implementing agencies and safeguard specialists. It will be disclosed and made publicly available in the Bank InfoShop and in Mozambique in compliance with disclosure requirements and Access to Information Policy of the WB.

Attachment 1: List of Negative Project Attributes Subprojects with any of the attributes listed below will be ineligible for support under the proposed Additional Financing operation (P146098).

Attributes of Ineligible Subprojects Natural Habitats

Concerning Activities that involve significant conversion or degradation of critical natural habitats, regardless of their formal legal protection status. Such habitats may e.g. include:

• Wildlife Reserves

• Ecologically-sensitive marine and terrestrial ecosystems

• Parks or Sanctuaries

• Protected areas, natural habitat areas

• Forests and forest reserves

• Wetlands

• National parks or game reserves

• Any other environmentally sensitive areas

Physical Cultural Resources Damage physical cultural resources, notwithstanding the type of PCR and the scale of the damage. Such PCR may e.g. include, but would not be limited to:

• Archaeological sites, structures or objects

• Religious monuments or structures

• Works of art, artefacts

• Natural sites or objects, e.g. trees, rocks, rock formations, hills, forests, rivers (or their sources) or lakes with cultural or religious values

• Cemeteries, graveyards, and graves

• Sites of any other cultural or religious significance

Dams Construction or rehabilitation of large dams. Note: dams that are between 10 and 15 meters in height are treated as large dams if they present special design complexities--for example, an unusually large flood-handling requirement, location in a zone of high seismicity, foundations that are complex and difficult to prepare, or retention of toxic materials. Dams under 10 meters in height are treated as large dams if they are expected to become large dams during the operation of the facility.

Irrigation New large scale irrigation and drainage schemes, as well as the significant expansion of irrigated agricultural areas.

33

Attributes of Ineligible Subprojects Income Generating Activities

Activities involving the use of fuel wood, except when harvested from sustainably managed existing plantations. Activities involving the use of hazardous substances. Activities involving the collection of natural products (e.g. non timber forest products) on a commercial scale.

Pesticides Requiring pesticides that fall in WHO classes IA, IB, or II.

Solid Waste New disposal site or significant expansion of an existing disposal site.

Forests Activities that have the potential to have impacts on the health and quality of forests or the rights and welfare of people and their level of dependence upon or interaction with forests.

Roads Construction of new road out of existing road networks

34

Attachment 2: Guidelines for preparation of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)

Under the ESIA process, once the potential impacts of the relevant activities have been identified, the next step of the ESIA process involves the identification and development of measures aimed at eliminating, offsetting, and/or reducing impacts to levels that are environmentally acceptable during implementation and operation of the Project. The ESMP should describe the identified negative environmental and social impacts, proposed mitigation measures, responsibilities for implementation of these measures, timeline for implementation and indicative budget for each item. Annex C of OP 4.01 on Environmental Assessment8 provides generic guidelines for development of an ESMP. Description of mitigation measures Feasible and cost effective measures to minimize adverse impacts to acceptable levels should be specified with reference to each identified impact. The plan includes compensatory measures if mitigation measures are not feasible, cost-effective, or sufficient. Specifically, the ESIA/ESMP should:

• Identify and summarize all anticipated significant adverse environmental impacts, including those involving involuntary resettlement;

• Describe each mitigation measure, including the type of impact to which it relates and the conditions under which it is required;

• Estimate any potential environmental impacts of these measures; and • Provide linkage with any other mitigation plan (e.g. for involuntary resettlement)

required for the Project. Monitoring program In order to ensure that the proposed mitigation measures have the intended results and comply with national standards and donor requirements, an environmental performance monitoring section should be included in the ESMP. The ESMP identifies monitoring objectives and specifies the type of monitoring, with linkages to the impacts assessed and the mitigation measures described in the ESMP. The monitoring program should give details of the following:

• Monitoring indicators to be measured for evaluating the performance of each mitigation measure (for example national standards, engineering structures, extent of area replanted, etc.);

• Monitoring mechanisms and methodologies; • Monitoring frequency; • Monitoring locations; and • Monitoring budget.

35

Capacity development and training The ESMP will draw on the existence, role and capability of environmental units on site or at the implementing agency and ministry levels. If necessary the ESMP will include actions to strengthen environmental and social capability in the agencies responsible for its implementation. Institutional arrangements Institutions/entities responsible for implementing mitigation measures and for monitoring their performance should be clearly identified. Where necessary, mechanisms for institutional coordination should be identified, as monitoring often involves more than one institution. Implementing schedules and cost estimates The ESMP provides timing, frequency, and duration of mitigation, monitoring and capacity development measures with links to overall implementation schedule of the Project, as well as related capital and recurrent cost and sources of funding. The RAP will include an evaluation of population's assets to be compensated and a budget for the compensation, training needs, monitoring and evaluation. The plan for the ESMP should be specific in its description of the individual mitigation and monitoring measures and its assignment of institutional responsibilities. The Project's overall planning, design, budget and implementation must integrate the cost of the plan and the budget of the RAP to ensure that funds will be secured for the implementation of the ESMP's plan, the payment of the RAP's activities, supervision, monitoring and evaluation of these activities.

36

Attachment 3: Guidelines for Land and Asset Acquisition, Entitlements and Compensation I. Objectives Resettlement and land acquisition will be kept to a minimum, and will be carried out in accordance with these guidelines. Activities that would require demolishing houses or acquiring productive land should be carefully reviewed to minimize or avoid their impacts through alternative alignments. No land or asset acquisition may take place outside of these guidelines. A format for Land Acquisition Assessment Data Sheet is attached as Attachment 3(i). These guidelines provide principles and instructions to compensate negatively affected persons to ensure that they will be assisted to improve, or at least to restore, their living standards, income earning or production capacity to pre-project levels regardless of their land tenure status. II. Categorisation A full Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) must be produced even if only one person is affected due to land acquisition and/or physical relocation. As the RAP cannot be prepared prior to project appraisal as the project is under OP10.00, paragraph 11, it was agreed that it will be prepared once the technical design and the rehabilitation scope of the works are known. III. Eligibility PAPs are identified as persons whose livelihood is directly affected by the project due to acquisition of the land owned or used by them. PAPs deemed eligible for compensation are: (i) those who have formal legal rights to land, including recognized customary and traditional rights; (ii) those who do not have such formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins, but have a claim to such land or assets - provided such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan; and (iii) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to land they are occupying. Persons covered under (i) and (ii) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance (e.g. moving allowance; residential housing or housing sites; agricultural sites, as required; and, other support and development assistance). Persons covered under (iii) are provided resettlement assistance (which may consist of land, other assets, cash, employment, etc. as appropriate) in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objectives set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date established by the Borrower and acceptable to the Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in (i), (ii), or (iii) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land. IV. Compensation Principles Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs. Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities

37

should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs. Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. The involuntary resettlement policy covers direct economic and social impacts that both result from Bank-assisted investment projects, and are caused by

(i) the involuntary taking of land resulting in (a) relocation or loss of shelter; (b) loss of assets or access to assets; or (c) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons

must move to another location; or (ii) the involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas

resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the displaced persons. This policy applies to all components of the project that result in involuntary resettlement, regardless of the source of financing. It also applies to other activities resulting in involuntary resettlement that in the judgment of the Bank, are

(i) directly and significantly related to the Bank-assisted project, (ii) necessary to achieve its objectives as set forth in the project documents; and (iii) carried out, or planned to be carried out, contemporaneously with the project.

The project implementation agencies will ensure timely provision of the following means of compensation to affected peoples:

(i) Project affected peoples losing access to a portion of their land or other productive assets with the remaining assets being economically viable are entitled to compensation at a replacement cost for that portion of land or assets lost to them. Compensation for the lost assets will be made according to the following principles: (a) replacement land with an equally productive plot, cash or other equivalent

productive assets; (b) materials and assistance to fully replace solid structures that will be demolished; (c) replacement of damaged or lost crops and trees, at market value; (d) other acceptable in-kind compensation; (e) in case of cash compensation, the delivery of compensation should be made in

public, i.e., at the Community Meeting; and (f) in case of physical relocation, provision of civic infrastructure at the resettlement

sites.

(iii) Project affected peoples losing access to a portion of their land or other economic assets rendering the remainder economically non-viable will have the options of

38

compensation for the entire asset by provision of alternative land, cash or equivalent productive asset, according to the principles in (i) a-d above.

In projects involving involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas, the nature of restrictions, as well as the type of measures necessary to mitigate adverse impacts, is determined with the participation of the displaced persons during the design and implementation of the project. In such cases, the borrower prepares a process framework acceptable to the Bank, describing the participatory process by which:

(i) specific components of the project will be prepared and implemented; (ii) the criteria for eligibility of displaced persons will be determined; (iii) measures to assist the displaced persons in their efforts to improve their livelihoods,

or at least to restore them, in real terms, while maintaining the sustainability of the park or protected area, will be identified; and

(iv) potential conflicts involving displaced persons will be resolved. V. Consultation Process The PCU will ensure that all occupants of land and owners of assets located in a proposed subproject area are consulted. Community meetings will be held in each affected district and village to inform the local population of their rights to compensation and options available in accordance with these Guidelines. The Minutes of the community meetings shall reflect the discussions held; agreements reached, and include details of the agreement, based on the format provided in Attachment 3(ii). VI. Complaints and Grievances Initially, all complaints should be registered by the PCU, which shall establish a register of resettlement/compensation related grievances and disputes mechanism. The existence and conditions of access to this register (where, when, how) shall be widely disseminated within the community/town as part of the consultation undertaken for the sub-project in general. A committee of knowledgeable persons, experienced in the subject area, shall be constituted at a local level as a Committee to handle first instance dispute/grievances. This group of mediators attempting amicable mediation/litigation in first instance will consist of the following members: (i) Head of District; (ii) Legal advisor; (iii) Local Representative within the elected Council; (iv) Head of Community Based Organisation; and (v) Community leaders. This mediation committee will be set up at local level by the implementation agency on an "as-needed" (i.e. it will be established when a dispute arises in a given community). When a grievance/dispute is recorded as per above-mentioned registration procedures, the mediation committee will be established, and mediation meetings will be organized with interested parties. Minutes of meetings will be recorded. The existence of this first instance mechanism will be widely disseminated to the affected people as part of the consultation undertaken for the sub-project in general. It is important that these mediation committees be set up as soon as RAP preparation starts. Disputes documented e.g. through socio-economic surveys should be dealt with by appropriate mediation mechanisms which must be available to cater for claims, disputes and grievances at this early stage. A template form for claims should be developed and these forms be collated on a quarterly basis into a database held at project level.

39

VII. Verification The Mediation Meeting Minutes, including agreements of compensation and evidence of compensation made shall be provided to the Municipality/district, to the supervising engineers, who will maintain a record hereof, and to auditors and socio-economic monitors when they undertake reviews and post-project assessment. This process shall be specified in all relevant project documents, including details of the relevant authority for complaints at the municipal/district or implementing agency level.

Attachment 4: Protection of Physical Cultural Resources Physical cultural resources include monuments, structures, works of art, or sites of significance points of view, and are defined as sites and structures having archaeological, historical, architectural, or religious significance, and natural sites with cultural values. This includes cemeteries, graveyards and graves. The following procedures for identification, protection from theft, and treatment of discovered artefacts should be followed and included in standard bidding documents as provided in Attachment 6. Chance Find Procedures Chance find procedures will be used as follows: (a) Stop the construction activities in the area of the chance find; (b) Delineate the discovered site or area; (c) Secure the site to prevent any damage or loss of removable objects. In cases of removable

antiquities or sensitive remains, a night guard shall be present until the responsible local authorities and the Ministry of Culture take over;

(d) Notify the supervisory Engineer who in turn will notify the responsible local authorities and the Ministry of Culture immediately (within 48 hours or less);

(e) Responsible local authorities and the Ministry of Culture would be in charge of protecting and preserving the site before deciding on subsequent appropriate procedures. This would require a preliminary evaluation of the findings to be performed by the archaeologists of the Ministry of Culture (within 4 days). The significance and importance of the findings should be assessed according to the various criteria relevant to cultural heritage; those include the aesthetic, historic, scientific or research, social and economic values;

(f) Decisions on how to handle the finding shall be taken by the responsible authorities and the Ministry of Culture. This could include changes in the layout (such as when finding an irremovable remain of cultural or archaeological importance) conservation, preservation, restoration and salvage;

(g) Implementation for the authority decision concerning the management of the finding shall be communicated in writing by the Ministry of Culture; and

(h) Construction work could resume only after permission is given from the responsible local authorities and the Ministry of Culture concerning safeguard of the heritage.

These procedures must be referred to as standard provisions in construction contracts, when applicable. During project supervision, the Site Engineer shall monitor the above regulations relating to the treatment of any chance find encountered are observed. Relevant findings will be recorded in World Bank Implementation Status Reports (ISRs), and Implementation Completion Reports (ICRs) will assess the overall effectiveness of the project's cultural property mitigation, management, and activities, as appropriate.

The Contractor shall not be permitted to unnecessarily strip clear the right of way. The Contractor shall only clear the minimum width for construction and diversion roads should not be constructed alongside the existing road. 3. Remedial actions which cannot be effectively carried out during construction should be carried out on completion of each Section of the road (earthworks, pavement and drainage) and before issuance of the Taking Over Certificate:

• these sections should be landscaped and any necessary remedial works should be undertaken without delay, including grassing and reforestation;

• water courses should be cleared of debris and drains and culverts checked for clear flow paths; and

• borrow pits should be dressed as fish ponds, or drained and made safe, as agreed with the land owner.

4. The Contractor shall limit construction works to between 6 am and 7 pm if it is to be carried out in or near residential areas. 5. The Contractor shall avoid the use of heavy or noisy equipment in specified areas at night, or in sensitive areas such as near a hospital. 6. To prevent dust pollution during dry periods, the Contractor shall carry out regular watering of earth and gravel haul roads and shall cover material haulage trucks with tarpaulins to prevent spillage. II. Transport 7. The Contractor shall use selected routes to the project site, as agreed with the Engineer, and appropriately sized vehicles suitable to the class of road, and shall restrict loads to prevent damage to roads and bridges used for transportation purposes. The Contractor shall be held responsible for any damage caused to the roads and bridges due to the transportation of excessive loads, and shall be required to repair such damage to the approval of the Engineer. 8. The Contractor shall not use any vehicles, either on or off road with grossly excessive, exhaust or noise emissions. In any built up areas, noise mufflers shall be installed and maintained in good condition on all motorized equipment under the control of the Contractor.

47

9. Adequate traffic control measures shall be maintained by the Contractor throughout the duration of the Contract and such measures shall be subject to prior approval of the Engineer. III. Workforce 10. The Contractor should whenever possible locally recruit the majority of the workforce and shall provide appropriate training as necessary. 11. The Contractor shall install and maintain a temporary septic tank system for any residential labor camp and without causing pollution of nearby watercourses. 12. The Contractor shall establish a method and system for storing and disposing of all solid wastes generated by the labor camp and/or base camp. 13. The Contractor shall not allow the use of fuel wood for cooking or heating in any labor camp or base camp and provide alternate facilities using other fuels. 14. The Contractor shall ensure that site offices, depots, asphalt plants and workshops are located in appropriate areas as approved by the Engineer and not within 500 meters of existing residential settlements and not within 1,000 meters for asphalt plants. 15. The Contractor shall ensure that site offices, depots and particularly storage areas for diesel fuel and bitumen and asphalt plants are not located within 500 meters of watercourses, and are operated so that no pollutants enter watercourses, either overland or through groundwater seepage, especially during periods of rain. This will require lubricants to be recycled and a ditch to be constructed around the area with an approved settling pond/oil trap at the outlet. 16. The contractor shall not use fuel wood as a means of heating during the processing or preparation of any materials forming part of the Works. IV. Quarries and Borrow Pits 17. Operation of a new borrow area, on land, in a river, or in an existing area, shall be subject to prior approval of the Engineer, and the operation shall cease if so instructed by the Engineer. Borrow pits shall be prohibited where they might interfere with the natural or designed drainage patterns. River locations shall be prohibited if they might undermine or damage the river banks, or carry too much fine material downstream. 18. The Contractor shall ensure that all borrow pits used are left in a trim and tidy condition with stable side slopes, and are drained ensuring that no stagnant water bodies are created which could breed mosquitoes. 19. Rock or gravel taken from a river shall be far enough removed to limit the depth of material removed to one-tenth of the width of the river at any one location, and not to disrupt the river flow, or damage or undermine the river banks.

48

20. The location of crushing plants shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer, and not be close to environmentally sensitive areas or to existing residential settlements, and shall be operated with approved fitted dust control devices. V. Earthworks 21. Earthworks shall be properly controlled, especially during the rainy season. 22. The Contractor shall maintain stable cut and fill slopes at all times and cause the least possible disturbance to areas outside the prescribed limits of the work. 23. The Contractor shall complete cut and fill operations to final cross-sections at any one location as soon as possible and preferably in one continuous operation to avoid partially completed earthworks, especially during the rainy season. 24. In order to protect any cut or fill slopes from erosion, in accordance with the drawings, cut off drains and toe-drains shall be provided at the top and bottom of slopes and be planted with grass or other plant cover. Cut off drains should be provided above high cuts to minimize water runoff and slope erosion. 25. Any excavated cut or unsuitable material shall be disposed of in designated tipping areas as agreed to by the Engineer. 26. Tips should not be located where they can cause future slides, interfere with agricultural land or any other properties, or cause soil from the dump to be washed into any watercourse. Drains may need to be dug within and around the tips, as directed by the Engineer. VI. Historical and Archaeological Sites 27. If the Contractor discovers archaeological sites, historical sites, remains and objects, including graveyards and/or individual graves during excavation or construction, the Contractor shall: (a) Stop the construction activities in the area of the chance find. (b) Delineate the discovered site or area. (c) Secure the site to prevent any damage or loss of removable objects. In cases of removable

antiquities or sensitive remains, a night guard shall be present until the responsible local authorities and the Ministry of Culture take over.

(d) Notify the supervisory Engineer who in turn will notify the responsible local authorities and the Ministry of Culture immediately (less than 24 hours).

(e) Contact the responsible local authorities and the Ministry of Culture who would be in charge of protecting and preserving the site before deciding on the proper procedures to be carried out.

(f) This would require a preliminary evaluation of the findings to be performed by the archaeologists of the Ministry of Culture (within 72 hours). The significance and importance of the findings should be assessed according to the various criteria relevant to

49

cultural heritage, including the aesthetic, historic, scientific or research, social and economic values.

(g) Ensure that decisions on how to handle the finding be taken by the responsible authorities and the Ministry of Culture. This could include changes in the layout (such as when the finding is an irremovable remain of cultural or archaeological importance) conservation, preservation, restoration and salvage.

(h) Implementation for the authority decision concerning the management of the finding shall be communicated in writing by the Ministry of Culture; and

(i) Construction work will resume only after authorisation is given by the responsible local authorities and the Ministry of Culture concerning the safeguard of the heritage.

VII. Disposal of Construction and Vehicle Waste 28. Debris generated due to the dismantling of the existing structures shall be suitably reused, to the extent feasible, in the proposed construction (e.g. as fill materials for embankments). The disposal of remaining debris shall be carried out only at sites identified and approved by the project engineer. The contractor should ensure that these sites (a) are not located within designated forest areas; (b) do not impact natural drainage courses; and (c) do not impact endangered/rare flora. Under no circumstances shall the contractor dispose of any material in environmentally sensitive areas. 29. In the event any debris or silt from the sites is deposited on adjacent land, the Contractor shall immediately remove such, debris or silt and restore the affected area to its original state to the satisfaction of the Supervisor/Engineer. 30. Bentonite slurry or similar debris generated from pile driving or other construction activities shall be disposed of to avoid overflow into the surface water bodies or form mud puddles in the area. 31. All arrangements for transportation during construction including provision, maintenance, dismantling and clearing debris, where necessary, will be considered incidental to the work and should be planned and implemented by the contractor as approved and directed by the Engineer. 32. Vehicle/machinery and equipment operations, maintenance and refuelling shall be carried out to avoid spillage of fuels and lubricants and ground contamination. An oil interceptor will be provided for wash down and refuelling areas. Fuel storage shall be located in proper bounded areas. 33. All spills and collected petroleum products shall be disposed of in accordance with standard environmental procedures/guidelines. Fuel storage and refilling areas shall be located at least 300m from all cross drainage structures and important water bodies or as directed by the Engineer.
