EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ES.1 BACKGROUND ON THE PROJECT

The Federal Government of Nigeria has commenced with the implementation of the Rural Access and

Mobility Project (RAMP) in Enugu State with support financing from the World Bank and the Agence Francaise

De Developpment (AFD) and guided by the Government’s Rural Travel and Transport Policy (RTTP). The

objective of the consultancy services is to carry out detailed engineering design including cost estimates as

well as environmental and social studies, resettlement action plan and to prepare the bidding documents for

prioritized rural road rehabilitation works in the state of Enugu. This component involves the rehabilitation works

for an indicative 203.45kM of rural and state roads which are divided into four prioritized clusters of roads with

lengths of 59.26km, 57.16km, 42.22km and 44.81km of roads. This is an Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan

(ARAP) for the proposed Enugu State RAMP rural road projects.

Nigeria’s rural transport infrastructure has been identified as a crucial component for the economic

development of the country and this can be achieved by designing and implementing a rural roads network

and linking the rural communities to the urban areas. Most of the rural roads are in poor condition, and impose

significant cost to the national and state economies especially to the agricultural activities due to increased

vehicle operating costs and travel times. As a result of this, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has given

priority to the provision of adequate transport facilities to meet the needs of the rural population.

ES.2 Objectives of the ARAP Study

The objective of the ARAP is to clarify the principles and procedures that will govern the mitigation of adverse

social impacts induced by project operations. Specifically, the ARAP is designed to ensure:

All types of losses are identified, clearly defined and properly categorized to reflect the nature of the

loss.

A standard or measure for defining eligibility and entitlement in order to have a fair basis for assessing

compensation for the loss or impact suffered.

Compliance with provisions of the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and World Bank

Operational Policies (OP 4.12, paragraph 2(b)): that resettlement activity would be conceived and

executed as development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the PAPs to

share in project benefits.

Displaced persons will be compensated for their losses at full replacement cost and provided

assistance for disturbance prior to the beginning of civil works.

A comprehensive database, based on which values will be assessed, validated in the event of

disputes and more importantly serve as the database for monitoring and evaluation of the

resettlement instrument.

The project affected persons would be consulted and given the chance of participating in the

design, implementation and monitoring of the resettlement.

ES.3 Methodology

The following approach and methodology was adopted for the study

i. Research Reports and Surveys

ii. Compliance with the National, State and International Land-use and Resettlement Standards

iii. Public Consultations

iv. Identification, Selection and Survey of Project-affected Persons (PAPs)

v. Inventory of Potential Losses

vi. Methodology for the Valuation of Assets

vii. Assessment of Project Alternatives

viii. Calculation of ARAP Costs

x. List of PAPs, their Affected Structures and Compensation

ES.4 Public Consultations and Justification for ARAP

Two project roads, Road #13: UNTH-Enuguagu Ndiagu-Umuaniagu-Obe Amuri Road (11.88kM) and Road #12:

Adani-Asaba-Igga-Ojor Road (9.94kM) have been identified to have potential environmental and social

impacts that will involve compensation to and relocation of project affected persons (PAPs) at Umuaniagu

and Ojor respectively. Public Consultation is a requirement for RAP study by the Federal Ministry of the

Environment and the World Bank. The Consultant through the support of SPIU and community leaders held

consultations with the two identified project affected communities and persons living adjacent to the road

alignments during the site visits. During these meetings, the affected communities were informed on the

extent of encroachment of the proposed roads on their farmlands, shrines and communal facility. The

Consultant’s public consultation was done in two stages.

Meetings/Consultations were held with the communities where 148 community members were present

at Umuaniagu (Ozalla) and 58 community members were in attendance at Ojor. The two communities

were notified of the meetings on 23rd May, 2012 through the SPIU and were reminded by text messages

and phone calls. While the Umuaniagu consultation was held on 29th May, 2012, that of Ojor was held

on 30th May, 2012. One major decision at these meetings was the acceptance by the people of the

communities for the roads to pass through their communities. Men and women from both communities

attended these public consultations.

After the community consultation, specific meetings were held with identified project-affected persons

and the extents of encroachment, resettlement and compensation were determined. One hundred

(100) PAPs (49 Males and 51Females) were surveyed in Umuaniagu (Ozalla) Community; forty (40) PAPs

(20 Males and 20 Females) in Ojor Community.

The economic and social screenings/surveys as indicated by Tables ES.1 and ES.2 below have shown that the

projects will not involve significant land acquisition because the projects will be carried out for most part on

the existing right of way (RoW) and footpaths with minor land acquisition. Only two communities i.e.

Ozalla/Umuniagu on Road #13 and Ojoo on Road #12 will be affected. Temporal farm lands and cultural

sites and communal facilities along the RoW of the roads corridors will be displaced affecting access to

means of livelihood. The total area of land to be acquired is 9,300 square metres, affecting 129 households

and 140 people. The World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement) is therefore triggered.

This abbreviated RAP has been prepared in line with the Resettlement Policy Framework.

One hundred (100) PAPs (49 Males and 51Females) were affected by the project in Umuaniagu (Ozalla)

Community and forty (40) PAPs (20 Males and 20 Females) were affected by the project in Ojor Community.

Two project roads, Road #13: UNTH-Enuguagu Ndiagu-Umuaniagu-Obe Amuri Road (11.88kM) and Road #12:

Adani-Asaba-Igga-Ojor Road (9.94kM) have been identified to have potential economic and social impacts

that will involve compensation to and relocation of project affected persons (PAPs) at Umuaniagu and Ojor

respectively. There are altogether one hundred and forty (140) PAPs affected by the projects in the two (2)

communities. Therefore, an Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) has been prepared for the project.

ES 4.1 Assessment of Project Alternatives

The following four project alternatives were examined in the course of this study;

No Project Alternative: This would mean that the rural areas will not be linked and the anticipated rural

access and associated socio-economic development will remain elusive.

Delayed Project Alternative: This alternative would lead to increase in estimated project cost and would

hinder the full implementation.


11

Alternative Route: The alternative routes identified during the prioritization study would not achieve the

required rural road network and are more expensive.

Planned Project Alternative: This alternative will link the rural areas, and the anticipated rural access and

associated socio-economic development will be achieved. They are economically and socially viable.

ES.8 RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING

Budgetary provisions have been made in the proposed rural road project to ensure that the mitigation

commitments, including compensation and the monitoring programs are fully implemented. FPMU/SPIU shall

make direct payments to all project affected persons and this will be done after an audit of eligible PAPs

would have been carried out. This audit is a physical verification exercise to further confirm the actual

number of PAPs by requesting them to appear physically for identification, to confirm the number of PAPs

that are still alive as of the time of compensating them, to check against multiple registrations and to issue

them identification cards. In a case, where a PAP is demised as of the time the compensation would be

paid, their children will be identified and paid the deceased’s compensation. The overall budget for the

resettlement action plan is presented in Table ES.5.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND ON THE PROJECT

The Federal Government of Nigeria has commenced with the implementation of the Rural

Access and Mobility Project (RAMP) in Enugu State with support financing from the World Bank

and the Agence Francaise De Developpment (AFD) and guided by the Government’s Rural

Travel and Transport Policy (RTTP). The lead agency for the Federal Government is the Federal

Department of Agriculture (FDA) of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development

(FMARD). The Federal Project Management Unit (FPMU) is overseeing the project on behalf of

FDA, while the Enugu State Government is expected to implement it. The administrative map of

Enugu State is shown in Figure 1.1.

The overall objectives of RAMP is to support participating state and local governments in

providing improved all-weather access roads in selected and prioritized rural intervention

areas, rehabilitate prioritized river crossings and support the institutional reforms in the transport

sector leading to optimization and improvement of the sector management in Enugu State.

This component involves the rehabilitation works for an indicative 203.45kM of rural and state

roads in Enugu State as well as the related design studies and external supervision activities.

1.2 Objective of RAMP 2

The objective of RAMP 2 is to provide rural communities with improved access to social services

and economic opportunities, and to enhance the capacity of relevant government institutions

to better manage rural transport infrastructure. The indicative objective is to rehabilitate

203.45km of rural roads in Enugu State. Road standards will be determined as part of the road

design studies, with proper economic justification. Considering traffic levels observed on rural

roads in Enugu state (current average daily vehicle traffic (AADT) of less than 50 vehicles per

day (vpd) and typical current motorcycle traffic of 50 to 100 cycles per day), it is expected

that the RAMP-2 project will rehabilitate existing roads, without any paving/asphalt treatment

involved. The list of the high priority roads in six (6) intervention areas in Enugu State is detailed

in Table 1.1 and the sub-division of the state into intervention areas is shown in Figure 1.2.

1.3 General Objective of the Consultancy Services

The objective of the various consultancy services is to carry out detailed engineering design

including cost estimates as well as environmental and social studies and to prepare the

bidding documents for prioritized rural road rehabilitation works in the state of Enugu. The

different assignments therefore involve survey of the roads, soil and materials testing, detailed

Engineering design, drainage structure design, preparation of detailed working drawings and

bidding documents as well as Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation (BEME) and

confidential cost estimate. Also conducted was an Environmental and Social Impact

Assessment (ESIA) for the selected road rehabilitation works- together with the associated

Environmental Management Plan, and, where appropriate, a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).

One set of studies and bidding documents will have to be prepared for each of the four

prioritized clusters of roads in Enugu State, for respectively 59.26km, 57.16km, 42.22km and

44.81km of roads. (See Table 1.1).

1.4 Objectives of the ARAP Study

The objective of the ARAP is to clarify the principles and procedures that will govern the

mitigation of adverse social impacts induced by project operations. Specifically, the ARAP is

designed to ensure:

All types of losses are identified, clearly defined and properly categorized to reflect the

nature of the loss.

A standard or measure for defining eligibility and entitlement in order to have a fair basis

for assessing compensation for the loss or impact suffered.

Compliance with provisions of the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and World Bank

Operational Policies (OP 4.12, paragraph 2(b)): that resettlement activity would be

conceived and executed as development programs, providing sufficient investment

resources to enable the PAPs to share in project benefits.

Displaced persons will be compensated for their losses at full replacement cost and

provided assistance for disturbance prior to the beginning of civil works.

A comprehensive database, based on which values will be assessed, validated in the

event of disputes and more importantly serve as the database for monitoring and

evaluation of the resettlement instrument.

The project affected persons would be consulted and given the chance of participating

in the design, implementation and monitoring of the resettlement.

1.5 Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan Objective

The resettlement action plan for the road project is driven by the objectives of the World Bank

OP 4.12 to avoid involuntary resettlement where feasible, or minimise, explore all viable

alternative project designs. Land acquisition along the route will be minimal and restricted to

the existing right of way. The project will require the acquisition of new lands due to

encroachment of the roads’ rights of way on farmlands and virgin lands in two villages but the

acquisition will not extend beyond the required space in the right of way and setbacks.

Eligible people for resettlement and assistance are the Project Affected Person (PAP) identified

in locations where there is encroachment into the RoW. Permanently displaced persons and

properties shall be relocated to other vacant spaces within the project area, while temporarily

displaced persons will be required to shift backwards, away from the RoW.

This Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) aims at developing resettlement and

compensation criteria as well as institutional arrangements to meet the requirements of the

people who may be affected by the proposed project. The anticipated impacts on people

include land acquisition, loss of physical structures, loss of access to livelihood and loss of

access to economic resources. The ARAP is prepared to the standards and specifications of

relevant legislations of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Enugu State Government, and the

operational policy of the World Bank, OP 4.12. This ARAP will assess (quantify and qualify) the

presumed adverse impacts of its road rehabilitation operations and suggest mitigation

measures including budget to address the issues.

1.7 Description of the Proposed Works

1.7.1 Description of the Proposed Works

The project will involve works at the pre-construction phase, construction phase and

operational phase. Pre-construction phase activities involved investigation of:

Location of borrow pits, PAPs and the affected natural and human resources

Location of sources of water to be used in construction activities; and

Road alignment survey, traffic survey along the roads and engineering design.


19

Construction phase activities will involve the following:

Construction of all roads listed on Table 1.1 of a total length of 203.45km;

Placement of road signs along the road.

Construction of the roads in communities will also require the provision of some basic road

infrastructures such as road signs etc other activities will include:

Haulage of materials;

Construction of temporary work camps;

Earthworks; and Construction supervision and monitoring.

After road reconstruction, the following measures will be undertaken:

Landscaping on specific sites where necessary;

Tree planting along the corridors, and

Road safety measures, such as bumps and signage.

1.8 Site Visits and Survey

To understand the biophysical nature of the roads alignment area the field team visited the

site. A survey along the roads alignment was done and observations made of human habitat,

vegetation and existing ecosystems and places of cultural significance among others. The site

was visited between 19th and 23rd March, 2012 for route alignment identification, confirmation

and conduct baseline studies. A detailed site investigation for social and environmental studies

was then carried out from 16th to 20th April, 2012 and a census of PAPs from 28th to 30th May,

2012. The outcome of the census of PAPs are detailed in Chapter 3.0: Socio-economic survey

of Project Affected Persons of this report. During the site visits, the team held consultations with

members of the community and project affected persons.

1.9 Public Consultations

Two project roads, Road #13: UNTH-Enuguagu Ndiagu-Umuaniagu-Obe Amuri Road (11.88kM)

and Road #12: Adani-Asaba-Igga-Ojor Road (9.94kM) have been identified to have potential

environmental and social impacts that will involve compensation to and relocation of project

affected persons (PAPs) at Umuaniagu and Ojor respectively. Public Consultation is a

requirement for RAP study by the Federal Ministry of the Environment and the World Bank. The

Consultant through the help of SPIU and community leaders held consultations with the two

identified project affected communities and persons living adjacent to the road alignments

during the site visits. During these meetings, the affected communities were informed on the

encroachment of the proposed roads on their farmlands, shrines and communal facility. The

Consultant’s public consultation was done in two stages.

Meetings/Consultations were held with the communities where 148 community members

were present at Umuaniagu (Ozalla) and 58 community members were in attendance at

Ojor. The two communities were notified of the meetings on 23rd May, 2012 through the

SPIU and were reminded by text messages and phone calls. The Umuaniagu consultation

was held on 29th May, 2012; the Ojor consultation was held on 30th May, 2012. The


20

consultation informed the communities of the proposed project; the feedback from these

meetings included the acceptance by the people of the communities for the roads to

pass through their communities. Men and women from both communities attended these

public consultations.

After the community consultation, specific meetings were held with identified project-

affected persons and the extents of encroachment, resettlement and compensation

were determined. The PAPs were constituted by both men and women. One hundred

(100) PAPs (49 Males and 51Females) were surveyed in Umuaniagu (Ozalla) Community

and forty (40) PAPs (20 Males and 20 Females) were consulted in Ojor Community.

1.10 Potential Economic and Social Impacts

Though during project preparation, the exact locations for project activities were known in

sufficient details, the real economic and social impacts, in terms of land acquisition, loss of

economic activities and who the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are were not known.

Subsequently, Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and Resettlement

Policy Framework (RPF) outlining the principle and procedures that would be followed in

preparing site specific Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Abbreviated

Resettlement Action Plans (ARAPs) were prepared by FPMU and disclosed by the project in

Nigeria and at World Bank InfoShop prior to appraisal in May, 2011. The ESMF and RPF have

screening mechanisms/checklists for screening subproject for their EA category, potential

environmental and social impacts as well as the needed mitigation measures. The two

safeguard instruments as noted in the RAMP PAD provided the mechanisms to identify impacts

for which standard mitigation measures are suggested and will be applied during the

implementation phase.

The economic and social screenings/surveys as indicated by Tables 1.2 and 1.3 below have

shown that the projects will not involve significant land acquisition because the projects will be

carried out for most part on the existing right of way (RoW) and footpaths with minor land

acquisition. Only two communities i.e. Ozalla/Umuniagu on Road #13 and Ojoo on Road #12

will be affected. Temporal farm lands and cultural sites and communal facilities along the RoW

of the roads corridors will be displaced affecting access to means of livelihood. The total area

of land to be acquired is 9,300 square metres, affecting 129 households and 140 people. The

World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement) is therefore triggered. This

abbreviated RAP has been prepared in line with the Resettlement Policy Framework.

Hence, the need to prepare an abbreviated resettlement action plan (ARAP) in line with World

Bank OP 4.12 to ensure that the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are adequately compensated

or provided assistance. The goal of this Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan is to provide

actual resettlement plan for the projected affected people in Enugu State.

One hundred (100) PAPs (49 Males and 51Females) were affected by the project in Umuaniagu

(Ozalla) Community and forty (40) PAPs (20 Males and 20 Females) were affected by the

project in Ojor Community. Two project roads, Road #13: UNTH-Enuguagu Ndiagu-Umuaniagu-

Obe Amuri Road (11.88kM) and Road #12: Adani-Asaba-Igga-Ojor Road (9.94kM) have been

identified to have potential economic and social impacts that will involve compensation to


21

and relocation of project affected persons (PAPs) at Umuaniagu and Ojor respectively. There

are altogether one hundred and forty (140) PAPs are affected by the projects in the two (2)

communities.

Therefore, from the above, the project would qualify for Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan

(ARAP).

vi. World Bank Operational Policy (OP 4.12) on Involuntary Resettlement;

vii. World Bank Rural Roads Checklist;

.

1.11.2 Public Consultations

1.11.2.1 Methodology for the Identification and Selection of Project-affected Persons (PAPs)

In each of the villages affected, as soon as the economic and social impacts of the proposed

road projects were determined and the affected land, farms, shrines and structure were

identified, the traditional ruler of the community was contacted and was briefed of the project,

its importance and the need for the project to acquire land, involuntarily displace people and

their livelihood, shrines and communal structures. Thereafter, the traditional leader

communicated this development to his council of chiefs at a meeting they held after our first

visit in April, 2012. The outcome of the combined meeting of the elders and the traditional

leader was that the proposed road project was welcomed with enthusiasm and they pledged


25

on their part to fully support and participate in the implementation of the project. They also

decided to convene a meeting of all project affected families and persons in order to properly

identify those actually affected by the project to the combined team of the Consultant and

SPIU. In each village, a meeting of all potentially affected persons and their village traditional

council was held on May 28th, 2012 prior to the project team meeting with them on May 29th

and May 30th, 2012. It was at this meeting, that the traditional council screened all the

potentially affected people and came out with a final list of those that are actually affected.

Individual PAPs and families confirmed these lists and ensured that all potential PAPs were on

the lists. Officials of the SPIU also verified the authenticity of the lists before final submission to

the project team. These lists were passed to the visiting project team in Umuaniagu on May

29th, 2012 and in Ojor on May 30th, 2012. The lists of PAPs for Umuaniagu and Ojor are given

under Annexes 1A and 1B of this report.

The project team had meeting with the identified PAPs in Umuaniagu and Ojor on May 29th,

2012 and May 30th, 2012 respectively and had a joint visit to the areas of economic and social

impacts. (See Annexes 2A and 2B for minutes of meetings).

A survey of PAPs and associated project-affected properties was carried out between 29th and

30th May, 2012 after identifying PAPs. Observations made of human habitat, vegetation and

existing ecosystems and places of cultural significance among others. A preliminary visit was

made to the site between 19th and 23rd March, 2012 for route alignment identification,

confirmation and conduct baseline studies. Further site investigation for social and economic

studies was carried out from 16th to 20th April, 2012. During the site visits, the team was also able

to meet other relevant stakeholders such as the traditional rulers, local government officials,

women organizations and youth organisations. The list of stakeholder groups consulted are

provided in Annex 4 of this report.

1.11.3 Project Alternatives

For the proposed roads rehabilitation project, a number of alternatives were considered and

these include: a no-project alternative; delayed project alternative; an alternative site and the

planned project alternative. A summary of these alternatives is presented below:

1.11.3.1 No-Project Alternative

This alternative assumes that the entire project concept will be cancelled and scrapped. This is

an inferior alternative when compared to the option of going ahead with the project.

Although if this option is taken, it would mean that the negative economic and social impacts

of the project would be completely avoided, not implementing the project will also lead to:

(i) Continued lack of rural access and mobility

(ii) Continued lack of economic empowerment, development and transformation in the

rural areas.

(iii) Failure to generate employment opportunities as anticipated;

1.11.3.2 Delayed Project Alternative

This option means that the project will not be implemented at this time; rather, a delay will be in

effect until such a time when certain conditions are met or requirements fulfilled. This kind of

option is usually adopted when there are regulatory requirements that need to be met, when


26

the political and economic climate is inclement for project implementation or in a period of

war. Presently, the country is not at war. Similarly, the government of Nigeria is encouraging

and courting foreign direct investment (FDI) and socio-economic development. The planned

project can attract foreign investment, in addition to all the added values indicated earlier.

Therefore, delaying the project will in turn delay the realization of the positive benefits

expected from the project. In addition, given the very high level of inflation in Nigeria’s

economy, a delay of 1 year could potentially cause up to a 25% increase in project costs.

Therefore the option of delaying the project is not an optimal one.

1.11.3.3 Alternative Project Location

A prior study identified the current routes as being one of the priority roads under RAMP. While

there are other route options from the initial prioritization study, the costs, especially in terms of

resettlement and compensation are quite high and would render the entire project unfeasible.

Therefore, the current project routes appears to be the most expedient, based on the various

considerations and as such, an alternative location will not be optimal.

1.11.3.4 The Planned Project Alternative

This alternative assumes that the planned project will proceed as conceptualized. This means

that the rural roads will be reconstructed and will cover a total distance of 203.45km. This

alternative will also include the construction of drainage along the route.

This alternative involves a lot of construction work, along with the associated positive and

negative impacts. The essence of a project of this nature is to ensure that activities are

undertaken in a way that minimizes the negative impacts while enhancing the positive

impacts. To this end, there is a need for detailed description of the project, so that any activity

that can result in negative impacts on the environment (biophysical and socio-economic) can

be easily identified and remedial measures planned for them.

1.11.4 Inventory of Potential Losses

The combined team of the Consultant and SPIU have visited each section of the roads to

identify any assets and people who may be negatively affected by the proposed road-works.

An inventory of potential losses has been developed for each section and had formed the

basis of the ARAP. Discussions with affected persons and communities regarding compensation

options and grievance redress procedures have been completed for the affected roads.

1.11.5 Methodology for the Valuation of Assets

This valuation was carried out by the Consultant’s Contract/Procurement Specialist. Part of his

duty is to prepare cost estimates for all items of work under the current contract. In appraising

the properties affected by the road project, a combination of the Replacement Cost and the

Direct Capital Comparative Methods were used in arriving at the open market capital value of

the structures, plantation and land. Market research of current prices of similar assets was

carried out in the vicinity of the project and the agreed final prices were adopted in

consultation with the PAPs. The PAPs were adequately involved in the negotiations that

produced and in agreement with the rates and figures that were applied in computing the

final compensation costs. (See Annexes 2A and 2B for minutes of meetings with PAPs and Table


27

4.12-Entitlement Matrix). More detailed information on the two methods of valuation are

available in Chapter Four of this report.

1.11.6 Calculation of ARAP Costs

The ARAP budget for Enugu RAMP Roads is provided under Table 9.1 in Chapter 9 of this report.

1.11.7 Implementation Schedule

The schedule of implement the ARAP is given under Table 10.1 in Chapter 10 of this report.

1.11.8 List of PAPs, their Affected Structures and Compensation

The list of PAPs, their affected structures and computed compensations are available in

Annexes 2A and 2B for Umuaniagu and Ojor respectively

1.12 Communication Principle

The main objectives of the communication plan are to provide sufficient and accessible

information to the PAPs, communities along the routes of the project roads, women

organisations, youth organisations and other stakeholders in an objective manner in order

to allow them to know and be sensitised about the project and consequently to be

actively involved in project implementation. The communication plan is also supposed to

promote awareness of the project-associated ARAP to the PAPs and affected

communities.

1.12.1 Project Phases

The various phases of the project identified for communication purposes include:

i. Preparation and design;

ii. Implementation (i.e. preconstruction and construction); and

iii. Post construction and evaluation.

1.12.2 Communication Stages and Tools

The communication strategy to be used during three phases of the project involves a three-

step approach:

i. Stakeholder sensitization;

ii. Public education; and

iii. Evaluation.

This three-step approach is directly linked to the phases identified above i.e. (1)Preparation

and design; (2) Implementation (i.e. preconstruction and construction); and (3) Post

construction and evaluation.


28

(i) Stakeholder Sensitization

The stakeholders will be informed about Enugu State rural road projects under RAMP2, the type

of roads to be provided and create a mechanism for interaction with stakeholders in general,

including those based in the project affected communities, communities along project routes

and intervention areas, NGOs, youth organisations, transport unions, farmers association, local

government administrators, state institutions, students, women organizations, traditional rulers

and custodians of community cultural heritage. Stakeholder sensitization will continue

throughout the three stages of project implementation, but will be very significant during

Preparation and Design phase.

A number of communication tools that has been identified and will be used to disseminate

information include but not limited to: Workshops Consultation and Educational materials

(ii) Public Education

Sensitizations at this level will be targeted at the general public who are the ultimate

beneficiaries of the project. The Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan will be disclosed and

publicly displaced as. Disseminate information on the criteria for selecting the PAPs, economic

and social impacts of the projects were determined and continue to spread information

regarding the type of projects to be funded under RAMP2. FPMU/SPIU will place the ARAP in

designated places and at least through the construction phase. These will consist of Local

Government Area headquarters in the two intervention areas, Enugu State Government

secretariat, palaces of traditional rulers, Federal Ministry of Environment, FPMU office, SPIU office

and any other public place as directed by the World Bank. FPMU/SPIU will run public

advertisement in the electronic media on the availability of the ARAP report in designated

places. FPMU will advise its public relations and legal units to maintain contact with the

relevant Ministries, other public agencies, local representatives and communities. A channel of

interaction with stakeholders will be consolidated. Public education will be more pronounced

during Implementation (i.e. preconstruction and construction) phase. .

The focus will be on communication through the media. The strategy to be employed will

include: Radio and television interviews, Newspaper advertisements, Radio and television

advertisements and documentaries, Billboards, Handbills and other published materials.

Additionally, there will be a series of seminars and public consultations to educate the general

public. However, it must be noted that the Enugu RAMP State project office have already

conducted some sensitization on the project.

(iii) Evaluation

The assessment process during this phase includes but not limited to: Evaluation of participation

in and feedback from workshops/conferences/discussions/ presentations, Evidence of strategy

implementation, Evidence of translation of strategy into work operations, Tracking media

coverage including volume and nature of coverage, Tracking Parliament/Government and

social discussions on the project and Monitoring website usage (eg. search hits).


29

This stage of communication will be necessary the third phase of project implementation i.e.

Post-construction and Evaluation.

The communication tools will be print and electronic media. The strategy to be employed will

include: Newspaper advertisements, Radio and television advertisements and documentaries,

and Handbills and other published materials.

2.0 LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

2.1 Introduction

The Federal Government of Nigeria and the World Bank are committed to ensure that the

involuntary resettlement of people and their economic activities and disruptions of economic

activities of PAPs in the project zone does not result in socio-economic hardship for the

affected persons. Nigeria recognizes that improving safety in the road corridor by modifying

existing land use within the safety corridor in the road reservation (i.e. partial or complete

demolition of sheds, building and farmlands) requires the application of both national policies

and laws and the relevant policies of the World Bank- the financing institution of the RAMP

project.

Resettlement of PAPs will be carried out in accordance with an abbreviated RAP prepared in

accordance with the RAMP2-specific Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF).

2.2 Identification and Categorisation of Loss and Impact

The implementation of RAMP II project will lead to some degrees of land acquisition which in

turn, could lead to physical displacement from land (e.g. denial of access to usual means of

livelihood). It must be noted that project affected persons will be identified by the types of

losses they suffer or the impact of the project on them.

Project implementation personnel will:

i. Ensure that identification and categorization of the likely loss or impact is undertaken

during the planning and design stages of each sub-project;

ii. Establish the magnitude and coverage of impacts early in the project planning in order

to justify the resettlement instrument to adopt. General categorization of losses will be

done to reflect extent of loss in terms of the following: Permanent or Temporary Loss; Full

or Partial Loss; Minimal or Significant Loss

iii. Determine specific losses or impacts to reflect the exact nature of loss whether visible

and tangible or intangible and categorize into the following losses: Physical loss of assets

which will be determined by assessing the interest or right to ownership, occupation and

possession; Loss of income, loss of livelihood and opportunities to employment; Impacts

arising from disturbance/disruptions.

2.2.1 Project Affected Persons (PAPs)

Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are those who stand to lose as a consequence of the project,

all or part of their physical and non-physical assets, landed properties, farmlands or productive

lands, economic crops, important cultural sites such as shrines and community facilities. Such

impacts may be permanent or temporary. In this ARAP, the PAPs consist of; individuals who

have their land acquired as part of establishment of RoW, individuals who carry out livelihood

activities in the RoW, individuals who are custodians of historical cultural sites and individuals

(traditional) rulers who are custodians of communal facilities.


31

Essentially, the PAPs may be classified into two groups: Those who have formal legal rights to

the land they occupy; Those who do not have formal legal rights to land, but have a claim to

land that is recognized or recognizable under the national, local, or traditional laws including

those measures put in place by the land policy.

2.2.2 The Screening Process

Each project proposed for inclusion in the RAMP II projects was screened and classified

according to its economic and social impact. A reconnaissance survey was carried out by

inspecting and detailing each road’s existing conditions, facilities, structures and features. The

roads were screened for the following; environmentally sensitive areas, displacement and

resettlement of livelihood activities, historical cultural sites, economic assets, general positive

impacts, general negative impacts and communal facilities. The outcome of the screening

exercise are given under Tables 1.2 and 1.3.

Therefore, the steps undertaken for the ARAP study included a screening process as described

above; a socioeconomic census and land asset inventory of the area; and identification of

Project Affected Persons (PAPs). This was followed by the development of a Abbreviated

Resettlement Action Plan. Thereafter the ARAP will be approved by the Bank, implemented

and monitored. The goal of screening is to identify and consider resettlement issues as early as

possible.

2.3 Eligibility of PAPs

2.3.1 Eligibility

Irrespective of their status or whether they have formal titles, legal rights or not, all PAPs are

eligible for some kind of assistance if they occupied the project area before the cut-off date.

Persons who occupied the area after the socio-economic study (census and valuation) are not

eligible for compensation or any form of resettlement assistance. All persons residing,

conducting activities or earning income within the project affected areas at the cut-off-date

i.e. May 31, 2012, which is the last day of inventory of loss will be entitled to compensation and

resettlement assistance. To determine their eligibility, PAPs are classified as follows:

i. Person who have formal right to land (including customary and traditional rights

recognised under Nigerian law);

ii. Persons who do not have formal legal right to lands or other assets at the time of the

census, but who have claim to such legal rights by virtue of occupation or use of those

assets.

2.3.2 Cut-Off Date

In order to avoid an influx of outsiders to project areas and misuse of the compensation policy,

the date of the census will serve as the cut-off date for eligibility and no new PAPs will be

eligible for compensation after this date. The Cut-Off Date for eligibility for compensation or

resettlement under this project is 31st May, 2012. This cut-off date has been agreed upon with

the PAPs and announced to them by SPIU and SPIU is also expected to make it public through

appropriate means of reach-out such as radio and television announcements during the


32

regular community awareness campaigns. The detailed census of PAPs has been be

appended to this ARAP. (See Annexes 1A and 1B). Table 2.1 below provides information on the

agreed time table for eligibility, compensation and site take-over.

2.3.3 Proof of Eligibility

The FPMU/SPIU will consider various forms of evidence as proof of eligibility to cover:

i. Affected persons with legal/formal legal rights, documented in the form of certificates of

occupancy, tenancy agreements, rent receipts, among others.

Unprocessed/unregistered formal legal documents will not bar eligibility and procedures

for confirming authenticity of such documents will be established in the ARAP.

ii. Affected persons with no formal or recognized legal rights .

iii. Criteria for establishing non-formal, undocumented or unrecognised claims to eligibility

shall be established paying particular attention to each situation and its peculiarities.

2.3.4 Eligibility for Community Compensation

Communities permanently losing land and/or access to assets and or resources under

statutory/customary rights will be eligible for compensation. Example of community

compensation includes the shrines at Umuaniagu and Ojor and the transformer at Ojor. The

rationale for this is to ensure that the pre-project socio-economic status of communities

adversely impacted is also restored. The local community leaders will play a crucial role in

identifying users of land

2.4 Method of Valuation and Compensation

This valuation was carried out by the Consultant’s Contract/Procurement Specialist, whose duty

it is to prepare cost estimates for all items of work under the current consultancy contract. In

appraising the properties affected by the road project, a combination of the Replacement

Cost and the Direct Capital Comparative Methods were used in arriving at the open market

capital value of the structures, plantation and land. Market research of current prices of similar


33

assets was carried out in the vicinity of the project and the agreed final prices were adopted in

consultation with the PAPs. Calculations of the budgeted figures are provided in the Section

4.9, Section 4.10 and Table 9.1 of this report .

The decisions about costs and rates of compensation were arrived at in conjunction with the

PAPs after having consultation with them.

2.4.1 Method of Valuation

In ensuring that during the project implementation, PAPs will be provided full replacement cost

of lost structures and other impacted assets and are able to rebuild or replace their

structures/assets without difficulties. The valuation involves asset compensation rates based on

full replacement cost without depreciation. The replacement cost approach is based on the

premise that the costs of replacing productive assets is based on damages caused by project

operations. These costs are taken as a minimum estimate of the value of measures that will

reduce the damage or improve on on-site management practices and thereby prevent

damage. The approach involves direct replacement of expropriated assets and covers an

amount that is sufficient for asset replacement, moving expenses and other transaction costs.

The basis of valuation complies with the stated legal provisions and this necessitate that the

basis of valuation must assess the "Open Market Capital Value” which is usually the

Replacement Cost. It must be emphasized that this valuation was be based on comparisons to

recent comparable transactions/costs and comparable assets or land and not simply on

general tables that may be out of date and may be based on non-comparable assets or

land.

2.4.2 Methods of Compensation

Individual and household compensation will be made in cash, in kind, and/or through

assistance in the knowledge and presence of both man and wife and adult children or other

relevant stakeholders where applicable. When land holdings necessary for the livelihood of

affected persons is taken away or reduced in size by project works, OP4.12 clearly states that

the preferred form of compensation is to offer an equivalent parcel of land elsewhere, i.e.

“land for land.” Such land is not always available, but cash compensation is not the preferred

form of compensation in such cases. Thus in such case it is suggested that the following options

be adopted, in order of :Land for land, Compensation of land and cash or When it becomes

inevitable cash compensation.

2.4.4 Procedures for Delivery of Compensation

The procedure for delivery of compensation has been provided in this ARAP under Chapter 4.

However, the FPMU/SPIU are expected follow approved procedures whilst ensuring that:

i. Full payment of compensation is carried out before possession of acquired sites

ii. FPMU/SPIU formally make offers to affected persons and allow persons to accept or

reject offer, offer a counter claim and seek redress under the grievance procedures

established


34

iii. Land/Asset valuation committee communicates the amount to be paid to the acquiring

agency and the Ministry of lands will ensure that the amounts are fair and adequate.

iv. Cash shall be the preferred and first mode of payment; however payment may be by

banker’s draft where the amounts involved are substantial. FPMU/SPIU shall make

arrangements with nearest bank to effect payments by banker’s draft;

v. Payments are made to the affected person personally by the State Agency in the

presence of Land/Asset Valuation Committee and an independent witness of the

affected person/opinion leader

vi. Proper receipts are issued and copies given to the affected person, the Finance

Department of the State Agency and the Land/Asset Valuation committee;

vii. Comprehensive reports on payment made are submitted for review by Management of

the FPMU/SPIU and the Land/Asset Valuation committee.

2.5 Grievance Redress Mechanisms and Procedure

A Grievance Redress Committee will be set-up for each of the two affected communities, to

address complaints from ARAP implementation. This committee will be directly under the

National Coordinator, RAMP and its members will include State Coordinator, Enugu RAMP,

Legal Department, Accounts Department, traditional rulers, women organizations and NGOs.

The legal expert from RAMP shall be the secretary of the committee and they shall meet twice

every week to address pertinent issues raised. The functions of the Grievance Redress

Committee are:

i. Report to the aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievances

and the decision of the Project authorities.

ii. Provide support to affected persons on problems arising from loss of business area

and/or eviction from the RoW; and

iii. Record the grievance of the affected persons, categorize and prioritize the grievances

that need to be resolved by the Committee; and

iv. publicize within the list of affected persons and the functioning of the grievance redress

procedure established;

v. evaluate grievances from affected persons concerning the application to them of the

Entitlement Policy;

vi. recommend to the Social Officer, PIU as the case may be, solutions to such grievances

from affected persons;

vii. communicate the decisions to the Claimants;

viii. hear appeals from persons, households or groups who, not being affected persons,

believe that they are qualified to be recognized as affected persons, to recommend to

the PIU whether such persons should be recognized as affected persons, and to

communicate the decision of the PIU in that regard to the Claimants;

ix. ensure that all notices, forms, and other documentation required by Claimants are

made available in Local language understood by people.

The main objective of the grievance redress procedure will be to provide a mechanism to

mediate conflict, allow aggrieved PAPs to go to Grievance Redress Committee before

approaching the judiciary and cut down on lengthy litigation, which often delay such

infrastructure projects. It will also provide people who might have objections or concerns about

their assistance, a public consultation to raise their objections and through conflict resolution,


35

address these issues adequately. The committee will undertake a highly consultative process

for rural road construction. The committee will provide ample opportunity to redress complaints

informally, in addition to the existing formal administrative and legal procedures. However, the

major grievances that might require mitigations include:

i. Dispute about ownership;

ii. Delay in disbursement of assistance; and

iii. Improper distribution of assistance.

iv. Affected persons not enlisted;

v. Losses not correctly identified;

vi. Inadequate assistance or not in line with entitlement matrix

2.6 Important Principles in Project Implementation

The project will adhere to the following important principles in its implementation:

i. No civil works contracts for proposed projects site will be initiated unless land free of any

encumbrance is made available; this could be done in phases.

ii. No construction should be undertaken unless PAPs are compensated for their losses, and

have received their resettlement entitlements. That is, before any project activity is

implemented, PAPs will need to be compensated in accordance with the ARAP.

iii. For activities involving land acquisition or loss, denial or restriction to access, these

measures will include provision of compensation and of other assistance required for

relocation prior to displacement.

iv. Taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation has been

paid and where applicable, resettlement sites and moving allowances have been

provided to displaced persons.

v. Information sharing and consultation with PAPs will continue throughout the planning

and implementation phase of the program, including the relocation and the restoration

of livelihoods.

vi. A completion survey of the delivery of compensation and resettlement entitlements will

be undertaken as per the RPF requirement.

vii. The schedule for the implementation of activities will be agreed to between the

Resettlement Committee and the PAPs. These include the

target dates for start and completion of civil works,

timetables for transfers of completed civil works to PAPs, and

dates of possession of land that PAPs are using.

The dates will be after transfer date for completed civil works to PAPs and payments of all

compensation. How these activities are linked to the implementation of the overall subproject

will also be agreed between the parties.

2.7 Mechanism for Consultation and Participation of Displaced Persons

The consultation process has ensured that all those identified as stakeholders have been

consulted. Subject to FPMU’s approval, information about the project will be shared with the


36

public, to enable meaningful contribution, and enhance the success of RAMP II. Road

construction works are expected to commence in January 2013 and completed in June, 2014.

There are many vehicles that could be used for communication and consultation such as listed

below:

Meetings, filling in of questionnaires/ application forms, public readings and explanations of

project ideas and requirements making public documents available at the national, local and

community levels at suitable locations like the official residences/offices of local elders,

announcement In various media, newspapers announcements placement in more than one

paper, preferably all local papers , notice board near project site, posters located in strategic

locations and many public places frequented by community and radio and local television.

Any of these means to use will take into account the low literacy levels prevalent in the rural

communities by allowing enough time for responses and feedback and putting messages in

the language readily understood by such people. Further participatory process can start in

October, 2012 and end in December, 2012. Information about the project may be translated

into and broadcasted through radio and television in the local languages of the beneficiary

communities such as Igbo, Igallamela and Pidgin English. Consultation meeting should also be

held in these three local languages in addition to the English language. For effective

consultation, the SPIU should hold specific events (preferably community-level meetings) at

which affected people will feel comfortable expressing their views. Similar events on this

project have been carefully documented and the minutes of these meetings together with

attendance lists have been included in this ARAP to demonstrate that consultation has taken

place. Generally, the SPIU are not required to accept every suggestion or demand made, but

they should take each reasonable suggestion into account as a matter of good faith.

2.8 Income Restoration Strategy

A participatory approach will be utilized in the development of an income generation

programme in order to ensure that the ideas, wishes and needs of the stakeholders are

included. The programme will support income generating activities with commercial potential

in the agricultural and non-farm sectors.

2.8.1 Income from Construction Activities and Other Measures

The remunerative involvement of stakeholders and in particular of the affected persons, in the

construction project has three main objectives.

i. Firstly, the income thus generated would produce a direct positive impact by injecting a

financial stimulant into the local economy.

ii. Secondly, the direct involvement of the population will develop a sense of belonging

and strengthen their appreciation of the project, and

iii. Thirdly, it should prove that small to medium sized channels and drains can effectively

be cleaned, deepened and widened with simple labour intensive methods.


37

2.8.2 Gender Issues in Resettlement Plans

Gender analysis has been part of the social assessment and the analyses have been based on

findings from gender specific queries during primary data collection process and available

secondary data. Quantitative and qualitative analyses have brought out sex disaggregated

data and issues related to gender disparity, needs, constraints, and priorities; as well as

understanding whether there is a potential for gender based inequitable risks, benefits and

opportunities. Women have been given adequate consideration in this ARAP as 51% and 50%

of the PAPs in Umuaniagu and Ojor respectively are women. They were also fully engaged in

the consultation process. During the period of construction, women should also be considered

for skilled and unskilled labour-based construction works and other livelihood opportunities such

as provision of food, supply of water and cleaning services to the Contractor and Contractor’s

staff.

2.9 Arrangements for Monitoring by Implementing Agency

The WB’s safeguard policy (OP 4.12) states that the project sponsor (FPMU/SPIU in this instance)

are responsible for adequate Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the activities set forth in the

resettlement instrument. Monitoring will provide both a warning system for the project sponsor

and a channel for the affected persons to make known their needs and their reactions to

resettlement execution. The sponsor’s M&E activities and programmes should be adequately

funded and staffed. Details of M&E activities, frequency and staffing are provided in Chapter 8

of this report.

The safeguards officer of the FPMU is expected play a key role in reporting the progress of

implementation as well as its compliance to the requirements of SPIU, FPMU and the World

Bank.

The FPMUs will institute an administrative reporting system that:

i. Provides timely information about all resettlement arising as a result of RAMP II project

activities;

ii. Identifies any grievances that have not been resolved at a local level and require

resolution through the involvement of the PMU; and

iii. Documents the timely completion of project resettlement obligations (i.e. payment of

the agreed-upon sums, construction of new structures, etc.) for all permanent and

temporary losses;

iv. Evaluates whether all PAPs have been compensated in accordance with the

requirements of this ARAP, and that PAPs have living standards that are equal to the

living standards before physical or economic displacement. Section 8.4 of this report

provides for impact monitoring and the Safeguard Officer of the FPMU/SPIU will be

responsible for impact monitoring. This exercise will be conducted twice (one every nine

months) during construction activities and funding will be provided byFPMU/SPIU.

In-house monitoring may need to be supplemented by independent external monitors to

ensure complete and objective information. Thus the project has developed an extensive M&E

system that includes:


38

i. Internal monitoring, in particular reporting by government officials and field consultants,

community participatory monitoring;

ii. External monitoring, with NGOs and journalists providing independent monitoring; and

iii. Impact evaluation.


39

3.0 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PROPERTIES OF AFFECTED POPULATION

3.1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY OF AFFECTED POPULATION

A survey was undertaken of the PAPs in Umuaniagu and Ojor on 29th May, 2012 and 30th May,

2012 respectively with the purpose of documenting existing land use activities within the RoW

and the status of PAPs along the road corridors. The socio-economic survey was conducted on

the PAPs with a view to determining their existing socio-economic conditions, and how the

project impact may affect them. The survey outcomes of the following thematic socio-

economic indicators which were examined are provided under Tables 3.3 to 3.7 in this

chapter: Gender, Marital Status, Level of Education, Nature of trade/Occupation of PAPs,

Number of Dependants and Income Levels.

This chapter therefore presents the outcome of the survey that was conducted for the project.

The socio-economic survey was carried out to identify the following:

i. Public infrastructure and social services that will be affected

ii. Social and cultural characteristics of displaced communities in terms of gender,

professions etc.

iii. Current occupants of the right-of-way;

iv. Standard characteristics of displaced persons (baseline information on livelihood,

economic and social information, etc);

v. The magnitude of the expected loss (total or partial);

vi. Information on vulnerable groups or persons (for whom special provision may have to be

made)

3.2 Survey Methodology

Socio-economic data were collected during the survey using the census method which

entailed interviewing all persons living or operating within the right of way of the two affected

proposed routes using the survey instrument .

Mobilization of Staff: 5 enumerators comprising of 4 males and 1 female were

mobilized for the enumeration exercise. The project enumerators were carefully

selected, taking into consideration educational qualification, gender and research

experience, as well as language proficiency for effective communication with the

vendors.

Training of Field Staff: A training programme was organized for one day for the field

staff prior to the fieldwork, using the survey instrument. The purpose of the training was

to ensure a common understanding of the objectives of the study and the content of

the survey instrument, as well as to enhance the capacity of the researchers to

conduct the fieldwork, with a view to ensuring uniform administration of the research

instruments. In addition to the training, a rapid assessment was conducted and test

questionnaires were administered to ensure that enumerators perfectly understand

the survey procedures and documentation of information. In-house role plays were

also organized as part of the training for the research team.


40

Fieldwork Logistics and Sampling Design: For the purpose of quick coverage, the

survey team worked as one big team, moving in a coordinated manner from one

location to another along the study axes.

Language of Communication: The interviews were conducted mainly in Igbo

(language of Umuaniagu Village of Ozalla) and Igallamella (language of Ojor

Village), followed by English and Pidgin (broken English).

Quality Control: In order to ensure the integrity of the data, all project activities were

conducted under close supervision. Appointed field supervisors provided round-the-

clock supervision for the fieldwork and conducted spot-checks on the interviewers.

Completed interview schedules were first screened by the supervisors and subjected

to a second level of screening in the office, prior to data entry.

3.3 Project Area Population

There are four (4) communities namely Enuguagu Ndiagu, Umuaniagu, Obe and Amuri on

Road #13 but only Umuaniagu is affected. There are also four (4) communities namely Adani,

Asaba, Igga and Ojor on Road #12 but only Ojor is affected. Ojoo and Umuaniagu (Ozalla) are

communities with permanent and temporal structures that will be affected by the road

projects. The populations of Umuaniagu and Ojor are summarized in Table 3.1.

3.4 Demographic Characteristics of Enugu State

Population Structure and Distribution: Based on the 2006 National Population and Housing

Census Figures, Enugu State has a population of 3,267,837 (1,596,042 males and 1,671,795

females) within a total area of 7,737.6 sq. km. This gives a population density of about 429

persons per sq. km., which is high when compared with the average national density of about

154 persons per sq. km. See Table 3.2 for more details on population statistics. Expectedly,

population concentration is highest in the urban centres, with densities ranging between 300

and 600 per sq.km. In a state where the great majority of the people are rural, densities affect


41

the intensity of land use and productivity of the land. Four population density regions are

recognised. Areas with over 600 persons per sq. km and between 400 and 600 persons per sq.

km. make up the congested rural districts.

Farmland is scarce in these two high density areas. The medium density areas support between

200 and 400 persons per sq. km, while the sparsely settled areas have an average density of

less than 200 persons per sq. km. The reason for the limited land acquisition in an area with high

land pressure and density is because the project roads have existing alignments and the

proposed upgrading do not require re-alignments. Based on this fact and the observation that

for most part, the rights of way of the roads do not infringe on the rights of the communities,

then there is limited land acquisition.

The six intervention areas have a total population of 1,459,533 according to the 2006

population census. As shown in Table 3.2 population distribution varies within LGAs with Udi

having the highest of 234002 (2006) and Uzo-Uwani having the least of 124480 (2006). The

projected population shows that by 2011 Udi will have grown to 271273.

3.5 Results of Socio-economic Survey of Project Affected Peoples (PAPs)

3.5.1 Gender

Women groups exist in some of the Intervention areas; these groups promote women’s

economic empowerment through marketing of farm produce such as oil and foodstuffs. The

bulk of women in the areas either engages in petty trading or supports their male counterparts

and guardians in farming and marketing of farm produce. See Tables 3.4 and 3.7 for details on

the socio-economic statistics of the PAPs.

3.5.2 Land Ownership, Tenure and Use

The customary rights to the land within the project catchment are either the community

ownership or the family ownership. Individuals or families may acquire land usually for building

or agriculture.

3.5.3 Employment

Agriculture is the major occupation with over 55% of the labour force in the two intervention

areas involved in crop cultivation and livestock rearing. Crops cultivated include maize,

sorghum, groundnuts, cassava, yam, beans and vegetable. Apart from retail trade and

services, males dominate in the other occupations. This is because custom and tradition tend

to regard these occupations as the preserve of males.

Petty trading and farm produce marketing account for 35%-40% per cent of all economic

activity, making this combined sector the second largest source of employment in all two

affected areas. These petty traders either hawk their produce by moving by foot from street to

street or sell their produce in designated village markets that are sufficiently outside the rights of

way of the proposed roads. They do not have to shift before, during and after construction.

3.5.4 Historical, Aesthetic and Cultural Resources

Few cultural sites such as shrines were identified. The rights of way of the two roads (Road#13

and Road #12) encroach on the current positions of major and minor shrines at Umuaniagu

(Ozalla) and Ojor respectively.

3.6 Project Affected Persons and Properties

The project affected persons are those individuals that will be physically displaced from their

work or business locations as a result of the proposed road projects. This means that the

individuals directly located within the portions of land designated for road construction and

drainage shall be entitled to assistance or compensation. These categories of project affected

persons are presented in Table 3.8 with some categories overlapping.

3.6.1 Fully Affected Persons

In ensuring that the project impacts are reduced to the barest minimum, demolition of

structures either residential or commercial within the proposed route has been avoided. To this

end, FPMU will not demolish any residential or commercial structure along the proposed route.

Only four (4) major shrines with permanent structures and forty (40) minor shrines with

temporary (make-shift) structures will be shifted backwards/relocated off the rights of way of

the roads. Therefore, the fully affected persons are owners of landed properties whose crops

and land will be acquired and compensated for the costs of both land and crops. The shrines

are the village’s historical property under the custodianship of either the community traditional

ruler or the high priest. Either of the two is the sole authority or decision maker on the shifting of

the shrine. These shrines were established by the ancestors or founders of the communities.

Depending on the religious order of each village, the compensation for the shifting of the

shrines will either the received by the traditional ruler of the high priest.


44

3.6.2 Partially Affected Persons

There are no partially affected persons or groups on the projects corridor.

3.6.3 Non-Affected Persons

This group of persons are those that are outside the RoW of the proposed routes and are not

affected by the project activities. They are market traders who do not have to shift away from

the sides of the road during construction. Their livelihoods will not be affected before, during

and after construction.

4.0 VALUATION AND COMPENSATION PROCEDURES

4.1 Introduction

This chapter presents valuation procedure of estimates of assets and other costs to the people

who will be affected and the mode of restitution that can be followed. The valuation was done

by our Safeguard Specialist with support from the FPMU and the World Bank.

4.2 Eligibility Criteria for Project Affected Persons

To be described as a project affected person (PAP), the property or activity of the potential

PAP must fall within the RoW of the road(s) as indicated on the planning scheme of the area or

project road design. All activities being carried out in the right-of-way which existed prior to

their being marked for displacement are to be compensated for. Those eligible for

compensations are occupants and owners of properties that will be displaced.

All properties to be affected by construction and rehabilitation have been valued and

assessed according to laid down procedure. Details of extent of displacement and

compensation due PAPs for affected properties are provided in Annex 1C. Owners of affected

properties have been notified in several ways.

Farmlands, plantations, shrines, transformer and parcel of land to be affected by

construction have been identified.

Public consultations have been held in each of the affected communities. See Annex 1D

for minutes of the consultative meetings held with the affected communities.

A compensation valuation of all affected properties has been carried out to assess

commensurable values.

However only PAPs registered during the baseline survey were considered to be eligible for

compensation and the SPIU has notified the PAPs on this. Compensation will be made on or

before August 31, 2012 after the approval of this ARAP by the Bank.

4.3 Consultations

Consultations were held with all PAPs with farmlands, plantations, shrines, transformer and

parcel of land within the RoW on issues of their compensation. All properties that fall within the

right of way have been captured by measurements s as provided in the engineering drawings.

Project Affected Persons have been notified in several ways. These include identification of

farmlands, plantations, shrines, transformer and parcel of land by the Consultant and the

project team and in consultation with PAPs. During the exercise . the SPIU explained to all

affected persons about its readiness to implement the project. In addition to these two actions,

a survey of affected persons was initiated to collect data and at the same time to inform them

about the project. An initial compensation valuation of all affected properties was carried out

in April 16-20, 2012 and confirmed on May 29-30, 2012 to assess commensurable values.


46

4.4 The Valuation Process

As per the planning scheme of the road corridor, land survey was carried out by the

Consultant’s Senior Highway Surveyor under the consultancy contract. Part of the duties of the

Senior Highway Surveyor is to carry out a survey of the RoWs of the roads, identify properties

that are within the RoWs in conjunction with SPIU and ascertain the level of encroachment.

Marking and numbering of all structures within the RoW have been done by the Senior

Highway Surveyor and the highway survey support team. In addition, the affected property

owners have been requested to furnish the RAMP/SPIU office with any relevant document

relating to their interest in the properties.

4.5 Basis of Valuation

The appraisal exercise was based on the Open Market Value which is defined as the best price

at which the sale of an interest in a property might reasonably be expected to have been

completed unconditionally for cash consideration on the date of the final valuation, which was

31st May, 2012.

The valuation was premised on the following;

i. A willing seller and a willing purchaser capable of purchasing a particular property in a

predetermined location or condition at a particular point in time;

ii. That prior to the date of valuation there had been a reasonable period (having regard

to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the agreement of price

and for completion of terms;

iii. That the values will remain static during that period; That the property will be freely

exposed to the open market; and

iv. That no account will be taken of any higher price that might be paid by a purchaser

with special interest.

v. The open market value of the property is arrived at by the under listed methods based

on the purpose of valuation, the availability and reliability of basic data for the

valuation.

4.6 Method of Valuation

This valuation was carried out by the Consultant’s Contract/Procurement Specialist, whose duty

it is to prepare cost estimates for all items of work under the current contract. In appraising the

properties affected by the road project. A combination of the Replacement Cost and the

Direct Capital Comparative Methods were used in arriving at the open market capital value of

the structures, plantation and land. Market research of current prices of similar assets was

carried out in the vicinity of the project and the agreed final prices were adopted in

consultation with the PAPs. The PAPs were adequately involved in the negotiations that

produced and in agreement with the rates and figures that were applied in computing the

final compensation costs. Details of the how the compensation rates were calculated are


47

provided under Sections 4.9 and 4.10 of this Chapter (See Annexes 2A and 2B for minutes of

meetings with PAPs and Table 4.12-Entitlement Matrix). The two methods have been briefly

described below.

4.6.1 Replacement Cost Method

The Replacement Cost Method, which is used in estimating the value of the building/structure,

is based on the assumption that the capital value of an existing development can be equated

to the cost of reinstating the development on the same plot at the current labour, material and

other incidental costs. The estimated value represents the cost of the property as if new.

4.6.2 Direct Capital Comparative Method

The value of bare land is determined by the comparison of market evidence of recent sale of

plots in the vicinity or similar neighbourhood. Comparable data are collected and analyzed to

determine the unit rate per acre taking into consideration, statutory use, alternative use, size of

plot, nature and terms of interest, proximity of the land to utility services, peculiar advantages

of location, the trends of redevelopment and construction.

The appropriate adjustments are made to reflect the differences between the comparable

data and the affected land and the appropriate rate adopted for the assessment of the

current open market value of the affected land.

4.7 Disturbance and Other Incidental Contingencies

The project has impacted on properties to make room for the road reservation. Depending on

the extent to which a property is affected, the occupants will have to resettle elsewhere after

being compensated. Based upon the level of inconvenience these are quantified and

expressed as percentage of the total reinstatement cost of the property. The summation of the

above estimated values of the structure, land and the disturbances, gives the adequate and

fair amount of compensation payable to the affected person.

4.8 Modes of Restitution

Owners of permanent structures whose properties are affected by the project are protected

by law and would receive adequate compensation for their properties. In situations where the

beneficiary is not satisfied with the amount of compensation payable to him, he is at liberty to

seek redress with the grievance redress committee. However, the property cannot be

relocated until the issue is resolved.

4.9 Value of Land

Land is scarce in the South East of Nigeria and therefore is a high competition for land among

the people. This scenario makes land to be expensive, even in the rural areas. The standard

plot size of 18m x 36m has been taken as the basis of valuation in this report. It was agreed with

the PAPs in the two communities that a sum of N500,000 (Five hundred thousand Naira) should

be the monetary value for a standard plot of 18m x 36m dimensions after taking into

consideration current market values of standard plots in the same area. This comes down to a

land value of N925.926 per Square Metre. The following land area will be acquired.


48

i. 4,500 Square Metre of Cassava Farmland @ Umuaniagu

ii. 1,200 Square Metre of Cassava Farmland @ Ojor

iii. 3,600 Square Metre of Virgin Land @ Ojor

4.10 Value of Affected Structures and Crops

There will be no demolition of structures hence structures will not be valued since PAPs will be

allowed to dismantle their structures and shift them a bit off the right of way of the proposed

roads. Under this section, the following structures and crops will be affected.

i. Transformer @ Ojor

ii. 3 Major Shrines (3m x 3m) @ Umuaniagu

iii. 3 Major Shrines (3m x 3.5m) @ Ojor

iv. 40 Small Shrines @ Ojor

v. Cassava Crops (4,500 Square Metres @ Umuaniagu)

vi. Cassava Crops (1,200 Square Metres @ Ojor)

vii. 63 Palm Trees @ Umuaniagu

viii. 54 Other Trees/Trunks @ Umuaniagu

The following decisions about costs and rates of compensation were arrived at in conjunction

with the PAPs after having consultated with them.

Transformer: The community transformer at Ojor will be moved a little backwards on the side of

the road it is currently located from the right of way of Road #12 at a cost of N750,000. This cost

estimate include the costs of dismantling the existing 5m x 5m x 2m protective blockwall, the

cost of preparing a new foundation for the transformer at a very nearby location, the cost of

temporarily disconnecting the village from the national grid, the cost of physically moving the

transformer to its new location, the cost of re-connecting the village to the national grid and

the cost of building a new 5m x 5m x 2m protective blockwall.

Major Shrines: There are 3Nos. (3m x 3m) major shrines and 3Nos. (3m x 3.5m) major shrine at

Umuaniagu and Ojor respectively. These major shrines will be moved and relocated off the

rights of way of Roads 13 and 12 at a cost of N250,000 per major shrine. They are enclosed with

makeshift structures. This cost estimate includes the cost of dismantling and moving the shrine

to their new locations, the cost of traditional sacrifices and rites to be performed and the cost

of erecting new makeshift walls around them.

Minor Shrines: These 40 minor shrines at Ojor will be shifted at a rate of N2,000 per minor shrine.

This estimate includes the cost of basic sacrifices to be performed.

Cassava Crops: It has been estimated that one (1) basket of cassava will be harvested per 16

square metre of cassava farm. Therefore, for the 4,500 square metre and 1200 square metre of

cassava farmland at Umuaniagu and Ojor 75 and 281 baskets of cassava crops will be

harvested respectively. The economic cost of a basket of cassava is estimated at N1,500.


49

63 Oil Palm Trees: There are 63 palm trees at Umuaniagu and the economic cost of a tree has

be estimated at N18,000.

54 Other Trees: There are 54 other valuable fruit trees at Umuaniagu and the economic cost of

a tree has be estimated at N15,000.

4.11 Compensation and Other Assistance

Land taking will entail compensation for land, crops, and other structures on that land, as well

as other assistance in order to mitigate the adverse consequences that affect people and

communities when they give up property for public good. The form of resettlement agreeable

to the PAPs for both the permanent properties and temporary structures affected by the road

project is rehabilitation with monetary compensation. The process of mitigating the project

impacts on PAPs will therefore involve only rehabilitation, where the PAPs will continue to live

and carry on their livelihood in the project communities. It will not involve physically relocating

the PAPs by the FPMU/SPIU. Therefore the option for resettlement site identification, selection

and preparation for relocation is not envisaged.

4.11.1 Payment of Compensation

In accordance with the World Bank operational policy on involuntary resettlement (OP 4.12),

FPMU/SPIU will ensure that the conditions of the PAPs are restored to the status that is at the

minimum commensurate to their pre-project status. List of all PAPs has been documented in

the PAP register and will be provided to FPMU/SPIU. In addition, every person affected by the

project will be issued an identity card for easy identification and possible compensation. The

identity cards will serve as the major identification for restitution.

The ARAP implementation will verify the correctness of each PAPs as stated in the register and

ascertain that every person to be issued an identity card holder is correctly documented in the

register. On completion of the PAP audit list, the National Coordinator, RAMP will setup a

committee that will carry out payment and compensation. This team will consist of FPMU’s

accountant, legal and a social safeguard expert, traditional ruler, NGO and representatives of

women organisations. Payments will be made according to locations and adequate

information will be made available to all affected persons before payment. Such information

will include.

1. dates and locations of payment

2. list of eligible people and amount

3. mode of payment

4. location of payment etc.

Payment will be made directly in cash to each PAP. The decision to pay cash is hinged on the

probability that most of the PAPs have no bank account and have no formal education to be

able to carry out bank transactions. In the event that an individual is absent during payment,

the compensation committee will immediately communicate a new date of payment to such

PAP(s).

5.0 PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS

5.1 Project Affected Persons

During the baseline socio-economic data collection from project affected persons in the

project zones on the affected roads on May 28-30, 2012 consultations were held with individual

PAP. During these consultations, the impacts of the project and proposed mitigation measures

were explained to them and they individually gave the assurance that they will cooperate to

ensure smooth implementation of the projects on the two roads. Annex1A and Annex 1B show

that 100 PAPs (49 Males and 51Females) were consulted in Umuaniagu (Ozalla) Community

and 40 PAPs (20 Males and 20 Females) were consulted in Ojor Community.

Prior to the commencement of the ARAP study, detailed consultations and public disclosure

were undertaken to disseminate to the people the intentions of federal and state government

through FPMU/SPIU towards the implementation of the road project. Key stakeholders that

were consulted for this RAP are local government administrations, traditional rulers and

communities sharing boundaries with the roads, community women groups, farmers etc..

The consultations, which were conducted prior and during the ARAP study is a follow-up to the

continuous consultations that FPMU/SPIU has been doing since the conceptualization stage of

this project.

5.1.2 Issues Discussed

Proposed road alignment;

Effects of project on properties falling within the ROW;

Environmental concerns for flora and fauna;

Effects of project on existing utilities;

Pedestrian-vehicular conflicts during construction and operation;

Historical and cultural areas of concern;

Resettlement and compensation process;

Means of evaluation of compensation; and

Grievance redress mechanism

5.2 Future Consultations

These will be held prior to the payment of compensations to the individual PAPs. They will be

notified about compensations due them and where to collect the compensation. They will also

be notified of the start date of civil works.

Work will not start on any roads until every PAP has been adequately compensated in

accordance with World Bank policies.


52

6.0 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

The potential for disputes over relocation of structures to allow for working space during road

construction have been reduced. All affected persons have been consulted and an

agreement has been arrived at between the PAPs and the FPMU/SPIU on the suitable

compensation to be paid to the PAPs.

Each individual PAP has the right to refuse the compensation proposed and take his/her case

to the court of justice if he or she finds the compensation to be inadequate and unfair under

the replacement cost. However in the event of disagreement, the affected party may first seek recourse Grievance Committee under the Project Management Unit (FPMU) for that purpose.

6.1 Grievance Redress Mechanisms

Considering the challenges associated with grievance redress, it is advisable for FPMU/SPIU to

hire and co-opt an NGO to be a part of grievance redress. Grievance redress committee will

be set-up to address complaints from ARAP implementation. This committee will be directly

under the National Coordinator, RAMP and its members will include State Coordinator, Enugu

RAMP, Legal Department, Accounts Department, traditional rulers, women organisastions and

NGOs. The legal expert from RAMP shall be the secretary of the committee and they shall meet

twice every week to address pertinent issues raised. The functions of the Grievance Redress

Committee are:

Report to the aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievances

and the decision of the Project authorities.

Provide support to affected persons on problems arising from loss of business area

and/or eviction from the RoW; and

Record the grievance of the affected persons, categorize and prioritize the grievances

that need to be resolved by the Committee.

The main objective of the grievance redress procedure will be to provide a mechanism to

mediate conflict, allow aggrieved PAPs to go to Grievance Redress Committee before

approaching the judiciary and cut down on lengthy litigation, which often delay such

infrastructure projects. It will also provide people who might have objections or concerns about

their assistance, a public consultation to raise their objections and through conflict resolution,

address these issues adequately. The committee will undertake a highly consultative process

for rural road construction. The committee will provide ample opportunity to redress complaints

informally, in addition to the existing formal administrative and legal procedures. However, the

major grievances that might require mitigations include:

vii. Dispute about ownership;

viii. Delay in disbursement of assistance; and

ix. Improper distribution of assistance.

x. Affected persons not enlisted;

xi. Losses not correctly identified;

xii. Inadequate assistance or not in line with entitlement matrix


53

It is the responsibility of the grievance redress committee to satisfactorily address all complaints

brought by the project affected persons. On the condition that an affected person is not

satisfied with the decisions of the committee, such person has an opportunity to seek the

intervention of the National Coordinator, RAMP to address his/her grievance. Where any of

these informal options is not satisfactory, the complainant may take recourse to the

administrative and legal systems for satisfaction. Two grievance redress committees are being

proposed under this ARAP. Tables 6.1 and 6.2 show the proposed membership structure of the

grievance redress committees. The compositions of the committees fully represents the

different stakeholder groups that are relevant to the project.

6.2 Grievances and Redress Procedure

Cash compensation will be paid to all PAPs whose property will be affected by the project.

Should a PAP refuse the compensation suggested, litigation is settled by the courts. Each

individual PAP has the right to refuse the compensation rate proposed and take his case to

court if he/she finds the compensation to be inadequate and unfair under replacement cost;

however in the event of disagreement, the affected party may first seek recourse through

Grievance Redress Committee under FPMU for that purpose. The PAP is allowed to engage


54

his/her own valuer (at his own cost) to determine the compensation due. The Valuer and the

Grievance Committee together with other stake holders will negotiate a settlement. If the PAP

is still not convinced with what has been proposed, as stated above, he/she can take the case

to the court for redress. Section 2.5 provides additional details about this.

The objective of the grievance procedure stated above is to address the following: Provide

PAPs with avenues for making complaint or resolve any dispute that may arise during the

course of land, structure and any assets acquisition, including the process of moving homes;

Ensure that appropriate and mutually acceptable corrective actions are identified and

implemented to address complaints; Verify that complainants are satisfied with outcomes of

corrective actions; and Avoid the need to resort to judicial proceedings.

If appropriate, the individual grievances and corrective actions will be received in the light of

the project policy and procedures to determine if any changes to the current system are

warranted. This review will aid in avoiding similar grievances in the future.

7.0 INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

7.1 Introduction

A number of institutions exist that are involved either in development or implementation of

transportation policies in Enugu State. Such institutions include the Ministry of Works and

Infrastructure, State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU) Enugu State RAMP, Local Government

Councils and the traditional institution. The aforementioned institutions including Ministry of

Lands, Ministry of Housing, Physical Planning and Urban Development and Ministry of the

Environment have been identified as some of the institutions for resettlement. Most of the

institutions are related in function and some other cases have overlapping functions but are

duly recognised by law or customary norms of Enugu State. While most of them do not have

direct links with resettlement, some of them, by operation or functions, have related

responsibilities with resettlement.

7.2 Implementation Roles and Responsibilities

The roles and responsibilities of FPMU/SPIU and other agencies with regard to ARAP

implementation are detailed below.

7.2.1 FPMU/SPIU

The FPMU has ultimate responsibility for clearing and certifying the RoW prior to the

commencement of civil works in the project zone. FPMU has an implementation unit known as

the Project Management Unit that has the ultimate responsibility for the implementation of this

ARAP. Though various government agencies have a role to play to ensure the successful

implementation of this ARAP, the institutions that are responsible for ensuring the

implementation of this ARAP under RAMP2 are the FPMU, SPIU and The World Bank. FPMU will

work through the SPIU, Consultant and the Contractor to implement the clearance

programme. The SPIU will inform the project affected persons of the date to begin clearance

of the RoW.

Responsibilities for commitments proposed in the ARAP exist within FPMU/SPIU and are

delegated internally to other units in the agency as well as other government agencies. SPIU is

responsible for implementation in the state while the FPMU oversees the activities of the SPIU.

Perfect understanding of the proposed project exists in the agency as all units and staff

assigned to specific roles associated with resettlement, including impact minimization,

inventory preparation and confirmation, consultation and feedback, compensations,

monitoring and reporting.

Environmental and Safeguard Unit is responsible for facilitating liaison with communities as

well as government agencies and local government department to facilitate stakeholder

consultations. This unit reports directly to the National Coordinator of RAMP on the process

of resettlement of affected people. This unit also liaises with the trade and market women

unions in ensuring that members of the union are appropriately informed on the

resettlement plan. It is the responsibility of the unit to adequately implement the

resettlement and provide all information to the World Bank as and when required. The unit is


56

also responsible for the identification of environmentally sensitive areas that are likely to be

affected by the project.

construction of facilities and ensure strict adherence to project design specifications and

land acquisition. They also identify alternative project sites that will have minimal impacts on

socio-economic variables in affected project areas.

• Legal unit oversee all legal functions including resolution of grievances. It also provides

advice to the Resettlement implementation manager, including verification of

compensation and drafting of legal agreements with affected parties, local government

authorities etc.

• Accounts processes payments to the affected people and ensure proper accountability

throughout the project circle.

7.2.2 Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development

The Enugu State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development Law, 2005 provides for

the administration of Physical Planning, Urban and Regional Development Agencies and for

connected purposes. The Ministry of physical Planning is given the ministerial responsibility for

advisory and allocation committee shall work with the FPMU/SPIU to ensure that affected

people are compensated as stated in this report. They will also ensure FPMU/SPIU’s

compensation and assistance programme are in conformity with the provisions of the Land Use

Act where necessary.


58

7.2.6 Local Government Authorities

The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria approves the creation of Local Government

Councils in each of the 36 States of the federation. The local governments councils in the

intervention areas were created by the federal government to carry out their functions as

stated in the constitution. Since the local governments are directly involved in the allocation of

markets, it is imperative that they are part of the resettlement plan. Therefore, the roles and

responsibilities of the local authorities (physical planning or works department) in this

resettlement plan shall not be limited to the following.

Liaising with the FPMU/SPIU to verify adequacy of resettlement location and provide

approval for such sites.

Implement policies developed by FPMU/SPIU for project sustainability.

Liaise with FPMU/SPIU and participate in consultations with the communities.

7.2.7 Traditional Institutions

Traditional rulers in the community of impacts will be involved in the institutional arrangements

for project planning, implementation and operation. The will assist to;

ensure that activities of their subjects do not contravene the policy of FPMU/SPIU on the

project.

provide resettlement assistance in areas where necessary

participate in consultations and enlightenment of members and other affected people

participate in dispute resolution arising from resettlement activities

7.3 Measures for Strengthening Organizational Capability

There is supposed to be Safeguard Unit in FPMU/SPIU with well trained personnel in ARAP. It is

the responsibility of this unit to ensure that all identified members of the implementation team

are trained prior to implementation of resettlement and compensation. The training includes

the following.

The OP 4.12 of the World Bank and other World Bank operational policies on

environment,

Relevant Nigerian laws and policies relating to land acquisitions and resettlement,

Brief on the socio-economic survey report on the roads and junctions,

Compensation and supplementary assistance in the report,

Discuss implementation plan and adopt the implementation plan in the RAP report,

Designate specific roles and responsibilities for all members.

The safeguard unit will ensure that over zealousness of implementation team is curtailed

through adequate monitoring and any officer found wanting in his responsibility is replaced. It is

the responsibility of the National Coordinator therefore to:

Provide adequate logistics for the ARAP implementation team.


59

Keep accurate records of resettlement and compensation data and ensure consistent

update of the information.

Strengthen report system and internal monitoring and solve the problems promptly.

Strengthen the independent monitoring and evaluation. The independent monitoring

and evaluation institution should report promptly to project director about the problems

and provide suggestions to solve them.

8.0 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

8.1 Objectives

The World Bank operational policy (OP 4.12) states that the project sponsor, FPMU is responsible

for adequate M&E of the activities set forth in the resettlement instrument. Monitoring will

provide both a warning system for the project sponsor and a channel for the affected persons

to make known their needs and their reactions to resettlement execution. FPMU’s monitoring

and evaluation activities and programs shall be adequately funded and staffed. In-house

monitoring may need to be supplemented by independent monitors to ensure complete and

objective information. Accordingly, the primary responsibility for monitoring rests with FPMU.

Interestingly, FPMU is expected to have an Environmental and Social safeguard team, and an

implementation-monitoring unit. These different groups, in cooperation with each other and

with guidance from the External Relations Unit of FPMU will internally monitor the project.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) procedures establish the effectiveness of all land and asset

acquisition and resettlement activities, in addition to the measures designed to mitigate

adverse social impacts. The procedures include internal track keeping efforts as well as

independent external monitoring.

The purpose of resettlement monitoring for the proposed road project will be to verify that:

Actions and commitments described in the ARAP are implemented;

Eligible project affected people receive their full compensation prior to the start of the

rehabilitation activities on the corridor;

ARAP actions and compensation measures have helped the people who sought cash

compensation in restoring their lost incomes and in sustaining/improving pre-project

living standards;

Complaints and grievances lodged by project affected people are followed up and,

where necessary, appropriate corrective actions are taken;

If necessary, changes in ARAP procedure are made to improve delivery of entitlements

to project affected people.

8.2 ARAP Monitoring Framework

There are three components of the monitoring framework for the proposed road construction

projects:

• Internal monitoring by FPMU/SPIU;

• Impact monitoring commissioned to specialized firms; and

• RAP Completion Audit.

The scope of each type of monitoring is briefly described in the following sections and in Table

8.1. The roles and responsibilities for internal and external monitoring are discussed along with

the reporting, staffing and resources needed for the monitoring program.

In order to effectively report on the effectiveness of ARAP implementation, FPMU/SPIU, as the

project sponsor, will monitor the following key indicators, in keeping with World Bank

requirements on involuntary resettlement:

• The timely disbursement of compensation;

• Compensation disbursement to the correct parties;

• Public consultation and grievance procedures in place and functioning; and

• The physical progress of resettlement and rehabilitation, where applicable.

FPMU/SPIU’s monitoring will provide the ARAP management team with feedback on ARAP

implementation and help ensure that adverse impacts on affected people are mitigated in a

timely manner. M&E will be the main mechanism to alert management of any delays and

problems and will help FPMU/SPIU measure the extent to which the main objectives of the


62

resettlement plan have been achieved. ARAP monitoring and evaluation activities will be

adequately funded, implemented by qualified specialists and integrated into the overall

project management system.

FPMU/SPIU’s ARAP monitoring and evaluation activities will be supplemented and verified by

monitoring efforts of an independent Panel of Experts specialized in resettlement issues.

The establishment of appropriate indicators in the A is essential since what is measured is what

will be considered important. Indicators will be created for affected people as a whole, for key

stakeholder groups, and for special categories of affected groups such as women. Key

performance indicators for monitoring are commonly divided into five categories for World

Bank financed activities:

• Input indicators include the resources in terms of people, equipment and materials that

go into the ARAP. Examples of input indicators in the ARAP are the sources and

amounts of funding for various ARAP activities.

• Output indicators concern the activities and services, which are produced with the

inputs. Examples of output indicators in the ARAP include (i) a database for tracking

individual compensation; and (ii) the payment of compensation for loss of assets.

• Process indicators represent the change in the quality and quantity of access and

coverage of the activities and services. Examples of process indicators in the RAP

include:

i. The creation of grievance mechanisms;

ii. The establishment of stakeholder channels so that they can participate in

ARAP implementation; and

iii. Information dissemination activities.

• Outcome indicators include the delivery of compensation and other mitigation to

avoid economic and physical displacement caused by the Project. They measure

whether compensation is paid and received, whether the affected populations who

preferred cash compensation to in-kind resettlement assistance offered to them was

able to use compensation payment for sustained income.

The most important indicators for the ARAP in the near term concern outputs, processes and

outcomes since they define whether the planned level of effort is being made and whether

early implementation experience is being used to modify/redesign ARAP features. Over the

medium to long term, outcome and impact indicators are critical since they are the ultimate

measure of the ARAP’s effectiveness in restoring people’s livelihoods.

Monitoring indicators may have to be defined or re-defined during the course of project in

response to changes to project-related conditions. Consequently, implementation and

mitigation measures may have to be adopted to incorporate these changes into the M&E

plan.


63

8.2.1 Reporting

ARAP monitoring reports will be prepared in accordance with World Bank guidelines. Progress

will be reported for the following tasks:

• Internal monitoring;

• Expert monitoring;

• Completion audit and;

• Compensation;

FPMU/SPIU will use a device such as a bar chart/Gantt chart or MS Project table to assess and

present information on progress of time bound actions.

8.2.2 Staff and Monitoring

The FPMU/SPIU ARAP management team will oversee all aspects of monitoring and evaluation,

and will provide high-level review of internal performance and impact monitoring and

associated reports. The management team will be supplemented by staff with appropriate skills

to carry out:

ARAP project resettlement requirements as defined by this ARAP;

Gathering and presentation of monitoring indicators to be used;

Design and implementation of basic techniques to be used for collecting information

and feedback from project affected people; and

Reporting requirements and formats.

8.3 Internal Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is an internal management function that will allow FPMU/SPIU to

measure physical progress against milestone input, process, output and outcome indicators

established in the ARAP. To ensure independence of internal monitoring arrangements within

the ARAP Management Team are made so that the roles of the monitoring staff are separated

from the other roles.

8.3.1 Types of Information/Data Collected

The information used in internal performance monitoring will include assessment of the

milestones outlined in Table 8.2 below.

FPMU/SPIU will check the type of grievance issues and

the functioning/effectiveness of grievance redress

mechanisms by reviewing the processing of appeals at

all levels, the outcomes of grievances and PAP

satisfaction with grievance procedures. As part of this,

FPMU/SPIU will interview aggrieved affected people.

Monitoring and evaluation reports submitted.

8.3.2 Source of Information/Data Collection Methods

Performance monitoring of the ARAP will be integrated into the overall project management to

ensure that ARAP activities are synchronized with all project implementation activities. Various

methods will be used to monitor progress against the milestones established in the ARAP, such

as:

Interviews of random sample of affected people, using open-ended discussions to

assess their knowledge and concerns regarding the displacement, their entitlement

and rehabilitation measures;

Up-date of baseline survey within 18 months of displacement;


65

Case studies of grievances.

Information will be collected and compiled in the quarterly narrative status and compensation

disbursement reports.

8.3.3 Responsibility for Data Collection, Analysis and Reporting

The FPMU/SPIU ARAP Management team supported by other departments will have primary

responsibility for the implementation of all internal monitoring activities. Designated staff will

collect relevant data in a standardized format.

8.3.4 Frequency/Audience of Reporting

Performance monitoring reports for the FPMU/SPIU ARAP management team will be prepared

at regular intervals (weekly), beginning with the commencement of any activities related to

resettlement, including income restoration. These reports will summarize information that is

collected and compiled in the quarterly narrative status and compensation disbursement

reports and highlight key issues that have arisen. As a result of the monitoring of inputs,

processes, outputs and outcomes of ARAP activities, project management will be advised of

necessary improvements in the implementation of the ARAP.

8.4 Impact Monitoring

Impact monitoring assesses the effectiveness of the ARAP and its implementation in meeting

the needs of the affected population. FPMU/SPIU will commission social and economic impact

monitoring studies in consultation with the external and independent Panel of Experts including

the Federal Ministry of Environment and the Enugu State Ministry of the Environment. Results will

be reviewed by FPMU/SPIU ARAP management team as well as by the Panel. The results of

impact studies as well as internal monitoring efforts will be available through the regular

information outlets of FPMU/SPIU. Impact monitoring will enable FPMU/SPIU to do the following:

Verify internal performance monitoring; and

Identify adjustments in the implementation of the ARAP, as required.

FPMU/SPIU will include the affected persons in all phases of impact monitoring, including the

identification and measurement of baseline indicators. One baseline has already been

established through the preliminary socio-economic studies of the population and area

affected by the project. Impact monitoring will also review consultation and grievance

mechanism outputs such as the types of grievances identified and the outcomes.

8.4.1 Type of Information/Data Collected

In order to measure the project impact and to assess the effectiveness of project impact

mitigation measures, FPMU/SPIU will evaluate various categories of quantitative economic,

public health and social indicators at the individual level as appropriate.

In addition to quantitative indicators, impact monitoring will be supplemented by the use of

qualitative indicators to assess client satisfaction and the satisfaction of the affected people


66

with the choices that they have made in re-establishing themselves. Tracking this data will allow

FPMU/SPIU to determine the following types of information:

• The extent to which quality of life and livelihood has been restored; and

• Whether Project Affected Persons have experienced any hardship as a result of the project.

8.4.2 Source of Information/Data Collection Methods

Impact monitoring data will be collected at appropriate intervals through qualitative and

quantitative surveys, and include a review of grievance mechanism outputs. FPMU/SPIU intends

to directly consult with the affected populations through regular public meetings.

8.4.3 Responsibility for Data Collection, Analysis and Reporting

FPMU/SPIU ARAP team will have primary responsibility for the implementation of all internal

monitoring activities. Designated staff will collect and review relevant data in a standardized

format.

8.4.4 Frequency/Audience of Reporting

Impact monitoring data will be reported to the ARAP management team and relevant

external agencies annually, or more frequently as required. The monitoring will continue for six

months beyond the completion of displacement process.


67

9.0 RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING

Budgetary provisions have been made in the proposed rural road project to ensure that the mitigation

commitments, including compensation and the monitoring programs are fully implemented. FPMU/SPIU shall

make direct payments to all project affected persons and this will be done after an audit of eligible PAPs

would have been carried out. This audit is a physical verification exercise to further confirm the actual

number of PAPs by requesting them to appear physically for identification, to confirm the number of PAPs

that are still alive as of the time of compensating them, to check against multiple registration and to issue

them identification cards. In a case, where a PAP is demised as of the time the compensation would be paid,

their biological off-springs will be identified and paid the deceased’s compensation. The overall budget for

the resettlement action plan is presented in Table 9.1.

10.0 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULES

10.1 Introduction

To ensure an effective and successful implementation of the expropriation/compensation

program there is the need to put in place an efficient system of planning and coordination. In

order to achieve this objective, public consultations have been organized with the various

stakeholders and other relevant government agencies, at the commencement and other

stages of project.

The implementation schedule for this ARAP covers the periods from the preparation of the

ARAP to the conclusion of the proposed rural road construction to the completion and the

time that the road will be fully available to full use. It is important to note that the procedure in

the schedule starting from notification of the PAPs before their displacement through

compensation and resettlement will be carried out in phases to synchronize with the various

phases of the project. The ARAP Implementation schedule defines the duration and timing of

the key milestones and tasks. The major component tasks for the schedule include:

Preparation of ARAP

Consultation and Disclosure of ARAP

Final Investment Decision and effectiveness of Credit

Formation of Project Implementation Committee

Education and awareness creation about ARAP procedures and compensation

payment

Notification of PAPs prior to the activities that will affect them

Space Acquisition and Compensation.

Commencement of project operations.

Grievance Redress Measures

Monitoring and evaluation, including baseline update

The implementation schedule for major activities relating to both permanent and temporary

structures is presented in Table 10.1.

Table 10.1 shows the implementation schedule, this however will be developed in further details

and timeline after the World Bank Review and Final Investment Decision.

10.2 Plan Preparation

Development of the formal ARAP was carried out in May, 2012 with socio-economic surveys in

the field. Prior to the survey, SPIU had consultations with the relevant stakeholders of project

areas to inform them of the project and its purpose and benefits. Public disclosure of the final

document and restitution will be concluded in July, 2012 subsequent to review by World Bank

authorities before the final investment decision.

10.3 Consultation and Disclosure

Consultations with stakeholders, was initiated very early with preliminary meetings with local

government chairmen and community groups. To date, RAMP/SPIU have conducted series of

consultations.

Broad ranges of stakeholders, including state and local authorities, traditional ruling authorities,

non-governmental organizations, Community-based Organizations, youth organizations and

trade unions in the project areas have been contacted. The consultations were aimed at

identifying the best ways to mitigate the impacts the project is likely to have on the affected

people.

FPMU/SPIU alongside the Consultant conducted open consultations with the PAPs to inform

them of the proposed road projects and the need for some of them to either shift or get

relocated away from the Right of Way (RoW) of the proposed route.

Disclosure of the ARAP continues with the public consultation process by communicating the

plan for implementation of RoW acquisition and relocation assistance, as well as monitoring

and evaluation of the mitigation measures.

10.4 RoW Acquisition and Construction

RoW acquisition activities will be synchronized with the project construction. Specific RoW

acquisition negotiations and contract preparation began in April, 2012 following the survey of

the quantity of RoW occupied and their valuation.

As part of the negotiations it will be emphasised that the acquisition of properties will be

aligned with the construction schedule. Though the final schedule for construction is not yet in

place, however, it is envisaged that site work will commence in January, 2013 after payment of


70

compensation. The commencement date of the schedule for the project is dependent on the

final investment decision (FID). Construction activities are expected to occur over a 1-month

period after commencement.

10.5 Monitoring and Evaluation

These activities will occur over the construction period and will continue for approximately 4

months following completion of the construction phase.

10.6 Update of the Baseline Data

Based on the monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the project on the PAP population,

an update of the baseline date will be produced to assess the overall impact of the project on

the population along the project route.


71

11.0 DISCLOSURE

This Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan will be disclosed in Nigeria by the FPMU which will

make copies available at its head offices and on its website and copies distributed to the

project affected persons, the press, palaces of traditional rulers and the offices of the Local

Government Areas overseeing these zones on August 15, 2012. The World Bank will also

disclose this Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan electronically through its website prior to

processing the project.

The following process will be used to disclose the ARAP:

FPMU will place the ARAP in designated places and at least through the construction

phase. In Nigeria, these will consist of Local Government Area headquarters in the two

intervention areas, Enugu State Government secretariat, palaces of traditional rulers,

Federal Ministry of Environment, FPMU office, SPIU office and any other public place as

directed by the World Bank.

FPMU/SPIU will run public advertisement in the electronic media on the availability of

the ARAP report in designated places.

FPMU will advise its public relations and legal units to maintain contact with the relevant

Ministries, other public agencies, local representatives and communities.

Furthermore, during project implementation, the ARAP consultant and the SPIU State

Coordinator will prepare and conduct information and stakeholders program in the project

areas.

The main objectives are to:

1. inform and explain the entitlement policy and various options to the affected people

(APs) prior to financial assistance;

2. socially prepare the affected persons for relocation;

3. help counter rumors and prevent unnecessary distress;

4. bring clarity on issues that might be raised by the affected persons about their

entitlements and benefits through question-and-answer sessions;

5. solicit help from local government administration, Traditional rulers, community groups,

and others and encourage their participation in RAP implementation; and

6. attempt to ensure that vulnerable groups understand the process and their needs are

specifically taken into consideration.

Moreover, participation of project-affected people is also ensured through their involvement in

various local committees such as Resettlement Advisory Committees and Grievances Redress

Committees. FPMU/SPIU will establish and continuously maintain an ongoing interaction with

the affected persons to identify problems and undertake remedial/mitigation actions.

According to the requirements of the World Bank, the ARAP must be submitted for their review.

Once approved for public disclosure purposes, the ARAP will be made available via the World

Bank Info Shop. In addition, short brochures will be printed and distributed to inform people of

the ARAP implementation arrangements.

ANNEX 3A: RELOCATION OF A MAJOR SHRINE: Procedure and Costs

A3.1 Procedures for Relocation of a Major Shrine

The high priest will supernaturally consult with the gods and the ancestral spirits behind the

shrine and its particular location. This will take seven days or more depending on the time of

response of the gods. The high priest would have to persistently intercede on behalf of the

community. This intercession will involve sacrifices to appease the spirits of the gods behind

the deity. The gods will not ordinarily accept to be shifted going by traditions but with

consistent intercession the prayers of the high priest may be accepted with a high cost of items

of sacrifice such as goats, tubers of yam, palm oil, fowls, assorted drinks, kolanuts, pepper etc..

The source of power of the high priest is not what anybody can ask him to divulge as divulging

such information on power and incantations is an abomination and an infringement on the

authority of the cult order he subscribes to. There are some personal sacrifices the high priest

must carry out on himself by himself in order to spiritually fortify himself against reprisals and

other spiritual attacks that might come upon him and his family as a result of venturing into an

unusual exercise of this nature. Therefore, this process is at the risk of the high priest’s life. For this

aspect of the procedure to relocate the shrine the high priest will offer sacrifices with items such

as are listed above. He will also be without food for seven days and sleep alone in the shrine at

his current location for as long as it takes for the sacrifice to be accepted by the gods without

having his bath or being exposed to daylight. He must neither sleep with his wives nor

communicate with any human being during this period of appeasement.

After, the appeasement must have been accepted by the gods, the high priest will come out

of the shrine, make a clarion call to all members of the community to gather around him, pour

libations, release a spotless white cock into the air and the community will erupt in joyful

celebration as this is a sign that the proposal to shift the shrine has been accepted by the gods

and there will be no evil repercussion on any member of the community.

Thereafter, the high priest will select seven men from the community who belong to the order

of the cult of the shrine and who he will sanctify to embark on the relocation exercise. These

seven men will be fortified spiritually by the high priest and they must not have had any sexual

contact with any woman or their wives seven days prior to the day the shrine will be relocated.

The exercise will be carried at midnight of a major market day under the cover of darkness and

when the shrines and their objects of worship are being moved, no member of the community

must come out for any reason and if anybody does, the repercussion will be very severe. The

person might die within forty days of this error or be spiritually attacked with a sickness that he

will nurse for the rest of his existence on earth.

Once the relocation has been successfully achieved, the high priest will invite the traditional

ruler and the entire community to worship at the new shrine and to celebrate with their

personal items of food and drinks.

No written documentation on the above processes are available with the Enugu State Ministry

of Culture and Tourism. These processes are the exclusive preserve of the traditional religious

institution of the community. They were obtained as oral tradition from the traditional ruler of

each community.

ANNEX 3B: RELOCATION OF A MINOR SHRINE: Procedure and Costs

Minor shrines are personal shrines belonging to individuals for the purpose of personal contact

with their gods. They do not have permanent locations or physical structures like the major

shrines and can be moved from place to place depending on the interests of the owners. They

are usually in form of a calabash by the road side with sacrifice items inside or a piece of cloth

tied to the bottom of a tree.

To move this type of shrine, the owner will identify a new location outside the RoWs of the

roads, prepare the place, pour libation, chant some incantations and move the shrine.

No written documentation on the above processes are available with the Enugu State Ministry

of Culture and Tourism. These processes are the exclusive preserve of the traditional religious

institution of the community. They were obtained as oral tradition from the traditional ruler of

each community.

ANNEX 5:

TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) ON CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR THE DETAILED ENGINEERING, SAFEGUARDS

STUDIES AND PREPARATION OF BIDDING DOCUMENTS FOR PRIORITIZED ROADS IN ENUGU STATE UNDER

RAMP II

1.0.0. INTRODUCTION

The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has received a Project Preparatory Advance

(PPA) from the World Bank and a Project Preparation Fund from the French Development Agency (AFD)

towards the cost of the preparing the Rural Access and Mobility Project II (RAMP II), and intends to apply

part of the proceeds for Consultancy Services for the preparation of Detailed Engineering Studies, Social

and Environmental Safeguards Studies and Bidding Documents for Prioritized Roads in four (4) selected

states.

1.0.1 Project Background

Nigeria’s rural transport infrastructure has been identified as a crucial component for the economic

development of the country by linking the rural communities to the urban areas. Most of the rural roads

are in poor condition, and impose significant cost to the national economy especially to the agricultural

activities due to increased vehicle operating costs and travel times. As a result of this, the Federal

Government of Nigeria (FGN) has given priority to the provision of adequate transport facilities to meet

the needs of the rural population.

To achieve this, a National Policy on Rural Travel and Transport Programme (RTTP) was prepared by the

Federal Government as an integral part of the National Transport Policy. The Federal Ministry of

Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) is responsible for the overall coordination of the RTTP in the

country through the Federal Project Management Unit (FPMU). The proposed RAMP is to be guided by

and will be supporting the implementation of the RTTP. The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the

Federal Ministry of Finance, requested the assistance of donors in financing the implementation of RTTP.

The successful implementation of the first phase of the project in Kaduna and Cross River States paved

way for the expansion of the project under RAMP 2 to cover additional four (4) states and additional

Eight (8) states will be prepared for an eventual future scaling up in the project.

The four states that were selected based on the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) State Governance

criteria and the technical readiness criteria are:

1. Adamawa

2. Enugu

3. Niger

4. Osun

The second phase of the project (RAMP II) includes the following three (3) components:

Component 1: Rehabilitation of Rural and State Roads - This component would finance rehabilitation

works for an indicative 500km of rural roads and state roads in each of the initial four states as well as the

related design studies and external supervision activities. The prioritization of roads is based on the

following principles:

Road Classification: The project considers mostly local government and state roads link.

Federal roads are excluded.

State of Roads: Links that are inaccessible due to impassable terrain (collapse or

damage culverts, marshy areas) and difficult topographical terrain. The project focuses

on recreation of basic access and on roads in poor state.

Traffic: The project focuses on roads with current average daily vehicle traffic (AADT) of

less than 50 vehicles per day (vpd).


92

Connectivity: The project prioritized feeder roads that link to paved state and federal

roads. To major market places, to areas of medium to high agricultural and mining

production potentials.

Environmentally sensitive areas: The project in as much as possible avoids creating

access to protected areas (national parks; protected forests) to minimize the risk of

excessive logging, illegal hunting, forest clearing (cut and slash burning) for agriculture

and to protect Plant and animal.

The road works will include earthworks, laterite materials, construction of new pipe and box culverts as

well as repairs and extension of existing culverts.

Horizontal Alignments: The improved link will follow existing road alignment. Minor deviations

(short cuts) will be permitted for track reopened to vehicle traffic.

Vertical Alignments: They will follow essentially the existing topography. Only in sections of

excessive gradients minor cuts and fills will be considered. In sections liable to flooding and

marshy areas the road embankment will be raised to a minimum height of + 0.5 m above

maximum water level. Crossing of zones consisting of subsoils of insufficient strengths (e.g CBR <

10: clayey soils). If these zones are limited in length, building up of road embankments on

geotextiles shall be preferred to soil replacement. If such crossings are excessive in length,

alternative and more cost efficient horizontal alignments shall be sought (ridge road).

Components 2: Roads Maintenance and Local Development – This components would finance road

maintenance activities on rehabilitated roads and support state mechanisms for maintenance funding.

The models to be use in the maintenance mechanism involve community-based approach to among

others.

Components 3: Capacity Building and Project Administration – This components would finance

Institutional Strengthening activities at state level as well as project administration costs. The components

would be split in two subcomponents:

Subcomponents 3.1 (capacity building and project administration in the initial four states will be

implemented by the State Project Implementation Units (SPIU).

Subcomponents 3.2 (institutional strengthening for other participating states and Federal Project

Management Unit (FPMU) project management costs) would be implemented by the FPMU. This

component could also address capacity building at federal level to improve the sector strategy.

If each of the four selected states, about 200 km of rural roads have been prioritized, based on the

outcome of prioritization studies as well as on the conclusions from a revalidation study. The proposed

assignment aims at preparing the detailed engineering and safeguards studies and the bidding

documents for the rehabilitation works on 158.64 km of rural roads in Enugu State, packaged in three

clusters. The assignment also includes a conditional tranche for an additional cluster packaging 44.81 km

of rural roads’ rehabilitation works. The complete list of prioritized roads is provided below.

1.0.2. Understanding the Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP) and the Federal Project

Management Unit (FPMU)

The “Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP)” emerged from the RTTP as the rural transport strategy to

support the implementation of the National Policy on Rural Travel and Transport (NPRTT). RAMP is being

implemented in selected States, while the RTTP which is broader in scope is the umbrella of the Federal

Government designed to take RAMP to all the States of the Federation. Under this arrangement the role

of the Federal Government is to coordinate, support the States and ensure the implementation of the

policy while the responsibility for implementation of the projects rests with the States.


93

1.0.3. Objective of RAMP 2

The objective of RAMP 2 is to provide rural communities with improved access to social services and

economic opportunities, and to enhance the capacity of relevant government institutions to better

manage rural transport infrastructure. The indicative objective is to rehabilitate about 500km of rural

roads per initial participating state. Road standards will be determined as part of the road design studies,

with proper economic justification. Considering traffic levels observed on rural roads in Enugu state

(current average daily vehicle traffic (AADT) of less than 50 vehicles per day (vpd) and typical current

motorcycle traffic of 50 to 100 cycles per day), it is expected that the RAMP-2 project will rehabilitate

existing roads, without any paving/asphalt treatment involved.

The list of the prioritized roads in Enugu State is detailed below:

1.0.4 Objective of the Services:

The objective of the consultancy services is to carry out detailed engineering design including cost

estimates as well as environmental and social studies and to prepare the bidding documents for

prioritized rural road rehabilitation works in the state of Enugu.

The assignment will therefore involve survey of the roads, soil and materials testing, detailed Engineering

design, drainage structure design, preparation of detailed working drawings and bidding documents as

well as Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation (BEME) and confidential cost estimate. It will also

include Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the selected road rehabilitation works –


94

together with the associated Environmental Management Plan, and, whenever needed, a Resettlement

Action Plan (RAP).

One set of studies and bidding documents will have to be prepared for each of the three prioritized

clusters of roads in Enugu State, for respectively 59.26 km, 57.16 km and 42.22 km of roads. A third cluster

is included, as a conditional tranche, for 44.81 km of additional roads.

2.0.0. SCOPE OF SERVICES:

For each of the three clusters of rural roads (as well as possibly on the fourth cluster included as a

conditional tranche to the proposed assignment), the Consultant will prepare the following set of studies

(five copies to be provided for each document):

(a) Preparation of detailed road inventory and collection of road condition data.

(b) Full topographic survey of the road using Total station and GPS over a width of 6m on either side

of the center line. In addition to the data required for preparation of plan and profile drawings of

the road, the topographic survey shall provide information on the presence of housing units,

commercial and administrative buildings, trees, entrances to roadside properties, watercourses

and any other features that will affect the design of the rehabilitation works. The Consultant shall

carry out the necessary detailed topographic surveys for the road in order to establish the

accurate centerline. The centerline shall then be set out, cross-sectioned, with vertical controls

established where this has not already been done. The allowable tolerance of the survey and

leveling should be of the order of 0.01%. The Coordinates of all intersection points shall be tied to

the National Survey Grid and all levels related to the National Bench Marks. All survey data shall

be stored in AutoCAD compatible format (DWG/DXF) or equivalent and shall be compatible with

the software used for detailed road design.

(c) Geometric design following existing profile, except where safety factors necessitate some

adjustments. Road standards will follow standards and practices in Nigeria for rural roads (6

meters platform + 2 x 1 meter sides + 2 x 0.5 meter for drainage or as directed by the FPMU). The

horizontal alignment of the road centerline, tangent points and other critical points shall be fully

defined relative to stations on the baseline by coordinates and offsets suitable for setting out the

centerline. All points shall be coordinated to the National Survey Grid. Cross-sections shall be

taken along the length of the road centerline at 25 meter intervals and at any changes in the

topography. The vertical alignment shall take into account the design standard adopted while

minimizing the earth works required. There shall be coordination between horizontal and vertical

alignment to the extent possible. Consideration shall be given to road safety standards. The

design shall incorporate all the environmental aspects identified in the ESMF report. The

Consultant shall investigate whether there will be any other possible impacts on the environment

and make proposals for remedial measures. Engineering analysis shall be undertaken using the

results of the soils and materials tests to determine the gradients of the slopes, compaction

requirements,, and other engineering factors dictated by available natural materials.

(d) Geotechnical and materials surveys and tests, including soil sampling and testing at appropriate

intervals, as necessary for completion of the design, but also identification, sampling and testing

of materials from borrow pits, as well as any other geotechnical and soils investigations and

testing necessary for final design. The consultant shall make a detailed soil investigation over the

road alignment to identify the various soil types. These include: (i) Tests to identify and evaluate

the soundness of subgrade, subbase, base course and pavement layer materials including the

following investigation procedures. The sampling interval for sub-grade shall not be more than

500m, pits shall not be less than 1m deep; (iii) Specific tests to determine suitability of materials for

compliance to FMW Specifications which will include: particle size distribution and determination

construction materials; and other tests as proposed by the consultant. The CBR tests and

moisture-density relationship tests on samples shall not be more 500 metre intervals and (iii) As

needed, hard rock samples obtained from quarries.

(e) Investigation of the hydrolic and drainage efficiency of existing bridges, fords, river crossings, river

training, culverts, retaining walls and roadside drainage facilities, including examination of scour,

erosion, drainage and flood characteristics along the road. The consultant shall prepare

hydraulic recommendation considering the following: (i) The catchment area, run-off coefficient,

hydraulic slope, design flood discharge and water elevation for the appropriate return period in

accordance with national manuals shall be determined for drainage structures requiring major

rehabilitation works; (ii) Cross-sections and gradients of watercourses shall be surveyed to

determine the proper drainage sizes ( Pipe size, type, locations etc). Erosion protection of the

structure and slopes must be determined; and (iii) The hydraulics report will provide the necessary

hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to complete the design. Contents of the report shall follow the

guidance in the FMW Drainage Design Manual.

(f) Detailed inspection and dimensioning of existing and proposed bridges, fords, river crossings, river

training culverts, retaining walls and roadside drainage facilities. Detailed designs shall be
