A. Summary of Proposed Changes

Two additional safeguard policies OP/BP4.04 (Natural Habitats) and OP/BP4.12 (Involuntary

Resettlement) are being triggered as a precaution. The restructured project is expected to have positive

indirect environmental impacts, given the focus on capacity building of key institutions of the Government

of Rio de Janeiro including the State Institute of the Environment, and may include policy changes or

actions for disaster risk management that entail temporary or permanent preventive evacuation. The

safeguard policy Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01) was triggered in the original project. An

Environmental Management Framework and a Resettlement Policy Framework prepared by the Borrower

are publicly available.

B. Project Status

Implementation progress has accelerated with the completion of major procurement processes and is now

satisfactory. The project has disbursed to date USD 7.1 million and with the completion of several

activities the Government of Rio de Janeiro anticipates that another USD 5.5 million would be disbursed

by December 2014, reaching 67 percent of the loan disbursed.

C. Proposed Changes

Development Objectives/Results

Project Development Objectives

Original PDO

The objective of the project is to support the State of Rio de Janeiro to introduce performance-based

management and information technologies to drive service delivery improvements in key public services,

including secondary education and hospital care.

Change in Project's Development Objectives

Change in Results Framework

Explanation:

The Results Framework is being revised to reflect the changes in subcomponents and the removal of

indicators related to transferred subcomponents that were eliminated as they could no longer be financed

with the project’s resources. Other indicators have been changed to allow for better monitoring of project

activities, improving methodologies used to calculate them and clarifying responsibilities for data

collection and reporting.

Compliance

Change in Safeguard Policies Triggered

Explanation:

Given the focus on capacity building of key institutions of the GORJ, including the State Institute for the

Environment, the restructured Technical Assistance Project is expected to have positive indirect

environmental impacts. The fourth component "Development of Institutional and Technological Capacity

for Preventing and Performing during High-intensity Weather Events," which entails the strengthening of

disaster risk management systems and the acquisition of two weather radar systems may have indirect

environmental implications.

The restructured Project would finance technical assistance activities for disaster risk management and the

preparation of an Action Plan that may include policy changes and actions that may entail temporary or

permanent preventive evacuation. OP/BP 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement ) and OP/BP 4.04 (Natural

Habitats) are being consequently triggered in a precautionary mode to ensure that actions for handling

adverse events through preventive evacuation will: (i) take into consideration the impacts on the

preventively relocated population, the population that may continue living at the sites because the areas at

high risk that cannot be controlled by any other measure but relocation is not always entirely coterminous

7

with the territory of the community settled at the sites, and the host population in the neighboring

communities of the new settlements; and, (ii) include proper principles and guidelines to be applied by the

Borrower when any land acquisition might be undertaken for the preventive relocation of people living in

risk-prone areas and/or for the post-disaster relocation of affected people in places other than their original

residences and places of business; and, abandoned lands that reverted to the state for relocation were

encumbered by pre-existing use claims.

Additionally, the project's Environmental Assessment category has been revised from "C" to "B".

Operational Policy 4.01 (Environmental Assessment) was triggered under the original project to ensure

that proper consideration is given to potential future negative environmental impacts, as well as to positive

ones that may result from the adoption of sustainable environmental practices (particularly in relation to

management of health and other wastes). In 2010, the borrower prepared a document entitled "Protection

and Guarantees" describing the project components and the potential safeguards issues concerning hospital

waste management. The document summarizes the international hospital facility accreditation

methodology that was to be applied under the project to ensure the proper management of medical wastes.

The subcomponent dealing with hospital accreditation and, consequently medical waste management, was

removed from the project under this restructuring as it could not longer be financed with the existing

resources.

An Environmental Management Framework (EMF) was prepared by the Borrower for the Additional

Financing, later approved as a separate project, the "Strengthening Public Management and Integrated

Territorial Development" Technical Assistance Project (P126735). This EMF covers activities of the

original and the new project, including the activities for the strengthening of disaster risk management

under Component 4. A Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) was also completed by the Government of

Rio de Janeiro to set the principles and guidelines to be followed by the project and during the preparation

of the Plan for Disaster Risk Management. The EMF and the RPF were disclosed on the Bank's website on

December 19, 2011 and disseminated in Brazil on December 20, 2011.

The Environmental and Social Safeguards Specialists assigned to the project verified during the last

mission of September 2014 that the Borrower's safeguards performance continues to be satisfactory and

that both the EMF and the RF continue to be suitable to guide the implementation of activities related to

disaster risk management under Component 4. The updated Integrated Safeguards Data Sheet discusses

the specific risks involved triggering the safeguard mentioned above.

Change of EA category

Current EA Category: Not Required (C) Proposed EA Category: Partial Assessment (B)

Explanation:

As part of the preparation of the Additional Financing, later approved as a separate ("Strengthening Public

Management and Integrated Territorial Development Technical Assistance Project" P126735), a new

Environmental Assessment was conducted for both the original and the new project. The Environmental

Assessment was carried out by the Borrower, assessing all sub-projects for potential environmental

impacts. The assessment identified potential positive but indirect environmental impacts resulting from the

strengthening of the State's disaster risk management system which includes the acquisition and

installation of two meteorological radar systems.

The installation of the radars would involve construction activities with limited adverse environmental

impacts. The project does not include conversion or degradation of critical natural habitats, and no

significant impact on natural habitats is expected. However, due to potential unforeseen activities OP/BP

4.04 (Natural Habitats) is being triggered on a precautionary basis.

No direct negative social impacts are expected from project activities. Nevertheless, due to activities

related to the proposal of a Plan for Disaster Risk Management, OP/BP 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement

Policy) is being triggered to ensure that proper consideration is given to proper principles to guide

handling actions that may require the preventive relocation/evacuation of people living in high-risk areas.

For these reasons, the project's Environmental Assessment has been re-categorized from "C" to "B". An

Environmental Management Framework and a Resettlement Policy Framework (publicly available at:

http://www.progestao.rj.gov.br/salvaguardas_ambientais.asp) were prepared by the Borrower to address

activities' screening and eligibility and to provide guidelines for the effective and timely implementation of

environmental and social safeguards during project implementation.

Financing

Change in Loan Closing Date(s)

Explanation:

The extension request is justified for the unexpected delays in the initiation of activities encountered as a

result of the Borrower’s limited capacity to manage technical assistance and international tendering

processes and the capacity building activities required to overcome this limitation. The time needed to

implement activities related to the acquisition and installation of complex weather radars and information

systems for strengthening disaster risk management, which were introduced under the first restructuring of

2011, was underestimated and 24 additional months are needed to finalize them. An extension from June

30, 2015 to June 30, 2017, if granted, would allow for enough time to complete and deliver ongoing

contracts and activities related to disaster risk management. With this extension, total implementation

period would be 6 years and 6 months, below the average project range.

Change to Components and Cost

Explanation:

The Level 2 restructuring is introducing two new components to better organize the activities and

objectives added in the first restructuring. The new components are (i) Component 4, titled “Development

of Institutional and Technological Capacity for Preventing and Performing during High-intensity Weather

Events”, with US$7.1 million (the activities corresponding to disaster risk management currently under

component 1 will be transferred to this component), and (ii) Component 5, titled “Project Management”,

with US$ 0.2 million.

Component 4 would support the strengthening of the State’s early warning system for high rainfall events.

Activities supported by this component include: (i) the development and implementation of institutional

and operational arrangement for the disaster risk management; and (ii) the acquisition and installation of

two weather radar systems. The activities aim at substantially improving the State’s early warning system

through the use of meteorological radars. This hardware will enable the tracking of storms (volume, speed,

and direction) before it reaches areas at risk. While the ultimate goal is to prevent and reduce the negative

effects of disasters, these activities would also help improve critical service delivery and strengthen public

financial management by reducing the fiscal impact generated by extreme weather events. This component

would support the GORJ in developing a core management system for disaster risk management as well as

to acquire needed equipment. The component would be the responsibility of the State Institute for the

Environment (INEA).

Component 5 would support activities related to the overall management of the project. Under the original

project, US$0.6 million had been allocated to the expenditure category “operating costs” in order to cover

project management activities associated with strengthening of the GORJ’s capacity for project execution,

monitoring, supervision and evaluation. However, some of the required expenditures are related to goods,

consultant services, non-consultant services, and training. Therefore, a new component is being created

and part of the operating costs reallocated to adequately reflect the project’s management needs. The

component would be the responsibility of the State Secretariat of Planning and Management (SEPLAG)

and managed by its Project Management Unit.

Three subcomponents are being eliminated as they could no longer be financed with the loan proceeds.

These include subcomponents 2.2 “School-level Performance Targets for State Schools”, 3.1.

“Accreditation System for UPAs”, and 3.2 “Cost-Accounting Methodology for UPAs and Hospitals”.

The project's budget allocations have been revised to reflect the changes made to accommodate the

introduction of the disaster risk management activities and the transfer of activities that could no longer be

financed by this project to the second Technical Assistance Project "Rio State Strengthening Public

Management and Integrated Territorial Development," which was originally designed as an Additional

Financing to this project, but later approved separately.

Explanation:

The schedule was extended by two years to provide sufficient time to complete the implementation of

activities related to the acquisition and installation of complex weather radars and information systems for

strengthening disaster risk management, which were introduced under the first restructuring of 2011.

Other Change(s)

Explanation:

In addition to the proposed Level 1 restructuring triggering two additional safeguard policies, a Level 2

restructuring has been approved. The Level 2 restructuring includes: (i) the introduction of two new

components; (ii) the elimination of three subcomponents; (iii) the reallocation of loan proceeds across

components and expenditure categories; (iv) the reduction of the counterpart funding from US$ 9.16

million to US$ 0.047 million; (v) the change of the Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01) safeguards

category from "C" to "B"; and (iv) the extension of the closing date resulting in a new date 24 month

beyond the original closing date and the corresponding adjustment of disbursement estimates.

RENOVATING AND STRENGTHNING PUBLIC MANAGEMENT

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT

A. SUMMARY

1. This restructuring paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to trigger

two additional safeguard policies, Operations Policy 4.04 Natural Habitats and Operational

Policy 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement. The project’s development objective is to assist the

Government of Rio de Janeiro (GORJ) to introduce performance-based management and

information technologies to drive service delivery improvements in key public services,

including secondary education and hospital care. This objective is being achieved through the

adoption of core government systems and management tools, strengthening of the education

management capacity, improvement of health management and information systems, and the

development of institutional and technological capacity for preventing and managing high-

intensity weather events. Operations Policy 4.04 (Natural Habitats) and Operational Policy 4.12

(Involuntary Resettlement) are to be triggered during the implementation of activities to

strengthen the Borrower’s disaster risk management practices. An Environmental Management

Framework and a Resettlement Policy Framework prepared by the Borrower to guide the

implementation of these activities are publicly available.

2. In addition to the proposed Level 1 restructuring, other changes have been

approved. The changes include the following: (i) the introduction of two new components; (ii)

the elimination of three subcomponents; (iii) the reallocation of loan proceeds across components

and expenditure categories; (iv) the reduction of the counterpart funding from US$ 9.16 million

to US$ 0.047 million; (v) the change of the safeguards category from “C” to “B”; and (iv) the

extension of the closing date resulting in a new date 24 month beyond the original closing date.

3. There are no changes to PDO, institutional arrangements or overall design.

B. PROJECT STATUS

4. The loan supporting the project, in the total amount of US$ 18.673 million, became

effective on December 27, 2010 and has to date disbursed US$7 million, or 38 percent of the

total amount. Project implementation progress is satisfactory. The GORJ expects to have

concluded all major tendering processes and several subcomponents by the end of December

2014. The GORJ estimates that an additional US$6 million would be disbursed by December of

2014. Overall, the implementing team is very committed and prepared to conduct the project’s

activities.

5. The original operation was restructured for the first time in February 2011 in

response to an emergency request of the GORJ to introduce activities to improve the State

14

capacity to reduce disaster risks. New intermediate outcome indicators to measure the effects

of the added activities were included at that time. These activities were designed in the wake of

unprecedented disasters caused by extreme weather events that exposed weaknesses in the

State’s disaster risk management system. With the restructuring, the State Environmental

Institute (INEA) was incorporated as an executing agency of activities aiming to strengthen

disaster risk management. However, adding the new activities reduced the resources available to

complete the original activities.

6. The preparation of an Additional Financing to the loan was initiated in 2011 to

supplement funding and incorporate the changes proposed in this restructuring, which was

later approved as a separate project. As part of the preparatory work, an Environmental and

Social Assessment of all activities of the original project was completed by the Borrower with

World Bank support. The Assessment identified the need to trigger additional safeguard

policies. At the request of the Borrower, the Additional Financing was approved as the stand-

alone project “Rio State Strengthening Public Management and Integrated Territorial

Development Technical Assistance Project” in February 12, 2014, making necessary the

proposed restructuring.

C. PROPOSED CHANGES

New Safeguard Policies

7. The restructured loan is expected to have positive indirect environmental impacts,

given the focus on capacity building of key institutions of the GORJ, including the State

Institute for the Environment. The fourth component “Development of Institutional and

Technological Capacity for Preventing and Performing during High-intensity Weather Events”,

which entails activities for the strengthening of disaster risk management systems and the

acquisition of two weather radar systems, may have indirect environmental implications.

8. Operational Policy 4.04 (Natural Habitats) and Operational Policy 4.12 (Involuntary

Resettlement) are being triggered in a precautionary mode. An Environmental Management

Framework (EMF) was prepared by the Borrower for the Additional Financing. The EMF

covers the activities for the strengthening disaster risk management in the State of Rio de Janeiro

included under Component 4. The EMF was disclosed on the Bank’s website on December 19,

2011 and disseminated in Brazil on December 20 of the same year. A Resettlement Policy

Framework (RFP) was also prepared by the GORJ to set the principles and guidelines to guide

the preparation of the Action Plan for implementing the new institutional arrangements for

disaster risk management. The RPF has been published and disseminated at the same time as the

EMF. The updated Integrated Safeguards Data Sheet (ISDS) of Setember 26, 2014 discusses the

specific risks involved and the features of the policy environment and capacity of the State to

implement the principles and guidelines. During the update of the ISDS, the Bank’s Safeguards

team verified that both the EMF and the RF continue to be suitable to guide the implementation

of activities related to disaster risk management.

9. The acquisition and installation of two meteorological radar systems involve

construction activities with limited adverse environmental impacts. For this reason, the

project Environmental Assessment has been re-categorized from “C” to "B". Operational

15

policy OP/BP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment) was triggered under the original project to

ensure that proper consideration is given to potential future negative environmental impacts, as

well as to positive ones that may result from the adoption of sustainable environmental practices.

In 2010, the Borrower prepared a document entitled "Protection and Guarantees" describing the

project components and the potential safeguards issues concerning hospital waste management.

The document summarizes the hospital facility accreditation methodology that was to be applied

under the project to ensure the proper management of medical wastes. The subcomponent

dealing with hospital accreditation and, consequently medical waste management, was removed

from the project under the present restructuring as it could not longer be financed with the

existing resources.

10. The project would not include conversion or degradation of critical natural habitats,

and no significant impact on natural habitats is expected. However, due to potential

unforeseen activities related to disaster risk management Operational Policy 4.04 is being

triggered on a precautionary basis.

11. The project would support technical assistance for improving disaster risk

management and the preparation of an Action Plan that may include policy changes or

actions entailing temporary or permanent preventive evacuation. Operational Policy 4.12

(Involuntary Resettlement) is being triggered as a precaution to ensure that actions for handling

adverse events through preventive evacuation would: (i) take into consideration the impacts on

the preventively relocated population, the population that may continue living at the sites

because the areas at high risk that cannot be controlled by any other measure but relocation is not

always entirely coterminous with the territory of the community settled at the sites, and the host

population in the neighboring communities of the new settlements; and, (ii) include proper

principles and guidelines to be applied by the state when any land acquisition might be

undertaken by the state for the preventive relocation of people living in risk-prone areas and/or

for the post-disaster relocation of affected people in places other than their original residences

and places of business; and, abandoned lands that reverted to the state for relocation were

encumbered by pre-existing use claims.

12. The safeguard performance continues to be satisfactory and the Government of Rio

de Janeiro is making significant progress to improve its environmental management system

and involuntary resettlement framework. The EMF proposes institutional capacity

strengthening measures and institutional arrangements to implement the project. The State

Environmental Institute (INEA), the agency that is responsible for implementing Component 4,

is fully capable of overseeing the implementation of the Framework and the resulting plans.

Additionally, the State of Rio de Janeiro has notably improved its involuntary resettlement

legislation and procedures in recent years and is capable of handling, monitoring, and

implementing the social safeguards issues that may indirectly arise from future projects and

programs or changes in the disaster risk management policy that involve resettlement of

populations living in areas at high risk of landslides. Decree 41,148/2008 introduces as its main

guidelines: (i) the participation of the affected people in all states of the resettlement process; (ii)

the provision of resettlement options; (iii) strong mechanisms of communication with the

population; and (iv) extensive consultation processes with the main stakeholders to address their

concerns during implementation. These procedures are in accordance with most of the provisions

of the Bank's resettlement policies.

16

Other Changes

13. Project Components. The Level 2 restructuring is introducing two new components

to better organize the activities and objectives added in the first restructuring. The new

components are (i) Component 4, titled “Development of Institutional and Technological

Capacity for Preventing and Performing during High-intensity Weather Events”, with US$7.1

million (the activities corresponding to disaster risk management currently under component 1

will be transferred to this component), and (ii) Component 5, titled “Project Management”, with

US$ 0.2 million.

14. Component 4 would support the strengthening of the State’s early warning system

for high rainfall events. Activities supported by this component include: (i) the development

and implementation of institutional and operational arrangement for the disaster risk

management; and (ii) the acquisition and installation of two weather radar systems. The

activities aim at substantially improving the State’s early warning system through the use of

meteorological radars. This hardware will enable the tracking of storms (volume, speed, and

direction) before it reaches areas at risk. While the ultimate goal is to prevent and reduce the

negative effects of disasters, these activities would also help improve critical service delivery and

strengthen public financial management by reducing the fiscal impact generated by extreme

weather events. This component would support the GORJ in developing core management

system for disaster risk management as well as to acquire needed equipment. The component

would be the responsibility of the State Institute for the Environment (INEA).

15. Component 5 would support activities related to the overall management of the

project. Under the original project, US$0.6 million had been allocated to the expenditure

category “operating costs” in order to cover project management activities associated with

strengthening of the GORJ’s capacity for project execution, monitoring, supervision and evaluation.

However, some of the required expenditures are related to goods, consultant services, non-

consultant services, and training. Therefore, a new component is being created and part of the

operating costs reallocated to adequately reflect the project’s management needs. The component

would be the responsibility of the State Secretariat of Planning and Management (SEPLAG) and

managed by its Project Management Unit.

16. Three subcomponents are being eliminated as they could no longer be financed with

the loan proceeds. These include subcomponents 2.2 “School-level Performance Targets for

State Schools”, 3.1. “Accreditation System for UPAs”, and 3.2 “Cost-Accounting Methodology

for UPAs and Hospitals”.

17. The Results Framework is being revised to reflect the changes in subcomponents. In

addition, several indicators are being changed to improve the capacity of the Government and the

World Bank to assess the impact of the project activities, refining methodologies used to

calculate them and clarifying responsibilities for data collection and reporting.

18. Changes to Allocation of Resources. Table 1 below presents the proposed

reallocation. Component 1 has a total allocation of US$11.87 million to support core

government systems and management tools for improved performance and efficiency, including

disaster risk management. With the restructuring, activities to strengthen the performance of the

disaster risk prevention system would be included in Component 4, leading to a reallocation of

17

US$7.1 million from components 1, 2, and 3 to component 4. The funding of Component 2 and 3

would be reduced to US$ 2.39 and 1.89 million respectively, as activities have been eliminated

in each of them. Component 5 would receive US$ 0.2 million dedicated to project management.

D. APPRAISAL SUMMARY

21. Two additional safeguard policies OP/BP4.04 (Natural Habitats) and OP/BP4.12

(Involuntary Resettlement) are being triggered as a precaution. The restructured project is

expected to have positive indirect environmental impacts, given the focus on capacity building of

key institutions of the Government of Rio de Janeiro including the State Institute of the

Environment, and may include policy changes or actions for disaster risk management that entail

temporary or permanent preventive evacuation. The safeguard policy Environmental

Assessment (OP/BP 4.01) had been triggered in the original project. An Environmental

Management Framework and a Resettlement Policy Framework prepared by the Borrower to

guide the implementation of thease activities are publicly available.

Risk Description: Risk Management:

If the State Government changes as a result of the October

2014 elections, there is a risk of a loss of political support

for the project from State government. Given the

advanced stage in the implementation of all activities this

risk is low.

State Secretariats of Planning (SEPLAG) is strongly committed to managing and

implementing project activities and has created a technically strong Project Management

Unit, staffed with civil servants. The Unit has been active in defining project activities

and indicators and is committed to reporting on progress throughout the project life. The

Operation Manual clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of each implementing

agency and those of the Coordination Committee. The Vice-Governor’s Office oversees

the Coordination Committee responsible for coordinating deliverables and

communication with the Bank. The World Bank is working closely with the

implementing agencies to ensure that the necessary transition arrangements are made to
