Mott MacDonald is committed to integrating sustainability into our operational practices and culture. As a
world leading consultancy business we are always seeking to improve our own performance and reduce
the environmental impact of our business. Meanwhile, many of our staff are committed to living sustainably
in their personal lives – as an employee-owned company Mott MacDonald shares their concerns. We feel
an ethical obligation to reduce our emissions and resource use and have committed to reducing our per
capita carbon footprint by a minimum of 5% year on year.
We print our reports and client submissions using recycled, double-sided paper. Compared to printing
single sided on A4 virgin paper, double sided printing on recycled paper saves the equivalent of two trees,
over a ton of CO2 and a cubic metre of landfill space for every 100 reams. By choosing the greener path
we have been able to achieve efficiencies benefiting both Mott MacDonald and our customers.
We would like to share some of the principles of our own ‘Going Green’ initiative:
• When possible we scan rather than print and consider what really needs to be on paper
• We use electronic faxing when practicable • We work on e-forms
• We use recycled paper when possible
• Reducing paper in the office creates a better working environment for our staff and our clients
We believe that you, as one of our esteemed clients, will share our concern to conserve precious
resources for the benefit of our planet and its inhabitants.

1. Introduction
This report presents the nature of impacts of the “Sustainable Rural Infrastructure Improvement Project’ on the indigenous communities up to December 2014. The project is executed by the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) with the assistance of Design and Supervision Consultancy Team led by Euro-consult Mott MacDonald and Institutional Support and Management Consultancy Team Hifab International. The project is financed by the Government of Bangladesh, the ADB & KfW.
1.1 Project Background
Aim of the project is to reduce poverty and raise incomes of People in 21 districts of northwest and
southwest Bangladesh under Khulna, Rajshahi and Rangpur Divisions by economic capacity
development.
The project enhances rural people’s access to social services, such as health and
education, and to economic opportunities. Widening the access to markets and livelihood activities will
increase earnings for the rural poor, including women. The project outcome will be widened access to
economic opportunities and social services for poor and women.
1.2 Project Components
The Project includes the following components:
i) Improved Rural Roads
The SRIIP project will upgrade 700 km of Upazila roads, 100 km union roads to bitumen surfaced
standard and to provide round the year connectivity between agricultural production areas and GCMs to
other part of the country. It will also build cross drainage structures, such as bridges and culverts with a
total length of 3,270 meters and rehabilitation and construction of 35-bridges. The project will improve
existing earthen, Herring bone Bond roads and the bituminous section which needs to be reconstructed.
ii) Improved Rural Market Infrastructure
A total of 92 growth centres / markets shall be improved under the project. The project will further
implement 3- Pilot Renewable Energy System in 3-markets and 3-Pilot Rural Water Supply System in 3-
Markets in 3-Project Divisions under SRIIP.
iii) Improved Rural Infrastructure Management
a. LGED Capacity Building The project will provide training to LGED staff in contract management, financial management, participatory methods, construction supervision of climate resilient infrastructure, quality control, application of information technology in project design, gender and development and monitoring and evaluation.
b. Local Governance
Euroconsult Mott MacDonald 5
In order to enhance the local governance of the LGIs, the project will implement various trainings and awareness programs for officials of LGIs. Those will be done in some selected districts, Upazilas, Ups excluding 20 piloted unions. It will cover more than 400 Ups. The program includes training of the LGI officials including selected UP chairmen, members, upazila officials, district LGED officials on role and responsibilities, financial and resource management, people’s participation and open budgeting system etc.
c. Incentive based Infrastructure US$ 1 million has been allocated to infrastructure investments in 20 unions that satisfy a set of performance standards related to women’s participation in governance, including governance of infrastructure.
d. Climate Change Resilient Rural Infrastructure Management The SRIIP will upgrade about 800 km of rural roads through pavement, road asset management, and capacity development and road safety measures. The climate change adaptation activities integrated in the project shall strengthen overall objectives of the project by providing protective measures for the infrastructure and by streamlining adaptation measures for future investment.
e. Sustainable Roads Maintenance System
As a part of Sustainable Roads Maintenance System, the project will implement 3-Pilot Road Maintenance and Management System Contracts in 3-Project Divisions of SRIIP.
iv) Support for Project Management A combination of International and national consultants in 2-teams namely i) Design and Supervision Consultancy team led by Euroconsult Mott MacDonald of the Netherlands and ii) Institutional Support and Monitoring Consultancy Team led by Hifab International AB of Sweden is assisting the Project Management Office of SRIIP for successful implementation of the Project.
1.3 ABD’s Policy for Indigenous people
In accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 requires the preparation of an Indigenous Peoples planning framework (IPPF) for sector investments with potential impacts on Indigenous Peoples to guide subproject selection, screening and categorization, assessment, and preparation and implementation of safeguard plans of subprojects and to facilitate compliance with the requirements specified in ADB SPS Safeguard Requirements 3: Indigenous People. According to ADB SPS, 2009, the indigenous people safeguard requirements are triggered if a project directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of IP or affects the territories, natural, or cultural resources that they own, use, occupy, or claim as their ancestral property. The requirements apply to SRIIP project and its components. The requirements also cover actions conducted by the executing and implementing agencies in anticipation of ADB projects.

1.4 Indigenous Peoples in Bangladesh:
In Bangladesh there were more than 400,000 ethnic households in 2004 and spread over in about 11,000villages/wards and constituted about 1.5% percent of total population of the country. On the other hand ethnic group has been identified as IP group by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) and identified 30 IP groups in Bangladesh in 1991 census (Latest available relevant data). They are from different ethnic communities and commonly identified as representatives of different tribes and the Bangladesh Population Census identified them as Tribal people. Distribution of different ethnic (IP) population by division is shown in Table 1.

1.5 Indigenous People in project area
Indigenous people live close to SRIIP sub- project locations in 10 (Ten) project districts. These 10 (Ten)
districts are Naogaon, C.Nawabgonj, Joypurhat Rajshahi, Natore Panchagarh, Thakurgaon, Dinajpur,
Rangpur and Gaibandha. The proposed sub-projects include improvement of existing roads, Growth
Centers (GC). In the three sub-projects of GCMs, a total of 7 (seven) growth centres are proposed where
presence of IPs have been observed.
.
This indigenous people mostly belong to ‘Santal’ ethnicity. They have been living in these areas for ages.
In some locations the indigenous peoples are found to be on constant move; they are known to be
Jajabar. The indigenous community will not be directly affected by the improvement of proposed
subprojects. However, the IPs will be positively impacted by improved roads and new growth centres.
However improvements of proposed roads are not only important for the people living in the locality but
also for Indigenous peoples living in the same locality. A large number of IP people of the area would be
using this road to augment their income generating activities.
SRIIP will ensure that these populations receive the benefits of the project. Decision has been made that
one representative woman from this section of people will be included in each of the proposed growth
centres where women’s corner will be provided.

592.93 135.614 40 5337 22087 To describe the current status of IPs in the project location, screening forms of 21 (twenty one) project
districts have been filled in and attached in Annexure 1 to 21. Based on the current assessment of
subproject design and location, the project could be termed as ‘B’ category.
Recommendations:
The PMO and D&SC recommends close monitoring of impacts on IPs due to improved roads & bridges
and GCMs developed under SRIIP. However, during project implementation , if any negative impact
identified on IP family, the negative impact would be addressed according to ADB’s IP policy guideline. IPs will have scopes to complain to the GRC against any kind of destruction they face during constriction.
It is further recommended to have close monitoring to ensure that IPs particularly woman are involved in
the activities of GCMs.
Conclusions:
In this report presence of IPs have been observed in catchment areas of 40(Forty) Sub-projects of 10
(Ten) Project Districts out of 21(Twenty One) Project Districts. At present there is no negative impact.
Rather there are many positive impacts such as reduced travel time, improved economic activities,
improved social conditions etc foreseen once the sub-projects are completed. In general woman
members of Indigenous family are able to run small businesses increasingly. LGED will ensure
participation of women IP members in the proposed committee of growth centres and provide space for
business especially in women corner. In this way scopes for them are to be created in income generating
activities. To ensure enhanced scopes for IPs detail consultation and FGDs will be conducted with ethnic
Euroconsult Mott MacDonald 10
community of the project location. Project beneficiary group will participate in the discussion and share
their opinion regarding project issues.
In future monitoring shall be done for presence as well as for impacts on IPs for any new sub-projects to
be taken under SRIIP.
