Executive Summary
A total of 38 subprojects located in 15 quarter councils have been screened in a participatory
manner. The methods and tools used included: (i) checklist for Environmental and Social
Screening,; (ii) review of various reports from Action Africa Help International (AAH) and
the Project Implementation Unit (PIU); (iii) the Environmental and Social Management
Framework (ESMF); (iv) Focus Group Discussions (FGDs); (v) Key Informant Interviews
(KII); (vi) direct deduction from observations made during field visits by staff at PIU; and
(vii) geo-referencing of all subproject sites using the Geographic Positioning System (GPS).
The community embraces the project activities as evidenced from beneficiary enrollment
which is partly attributed to the level of vulnerability in the community. In addition, there
was overwhelming support from the local leadership, many of whom provide project
oversight function on behalf of government and the communities.
Generally, most of the project area is characterized by sandy loam soils with clay loam soils
found in areas such as Gudele. The soils are highly erodible and the topography is composed
of gently sloping hills separated by U-shaped valleys criss-crossed with both permanent and
seasonal streams which occasionally flood during the rainy seasons because of the areas high
water table. The climate is typical of the dry tropics and temperatures are high during the dry
seasons but drop significantly in wet seasons.
There is generally poor investment in waste management by the government exacerbated by
limited sensitization of the community on waste disposal and minimization which has
translated into littering of all over the project area. The major likely environmental and social
impacts include soil erosion which is anticipated from clearing road reserves and widening of
roads within the project area. Others impacts include occupational safety and health risk of
the beneficiaries such as accidents and injuries associated with the use of sharp tools.
Communicable diseases such as TB, cholera, typhoid, HIV/AIDS and pneumonia associated
with clustering of people in one area may gain impetus during implementation. In addition,
project beneficiaries face the challenge of tetanus attack if they have open wounds
considering the activities involved. Project activities have also the potential of causing social
upheavals, hence disrupting the area existential social order triggered by quarrels, rumor
mongering, sexual advances, alcoholism and fights among the beneficiaries. However, most
of the anticipated impacts are localized and manageable at community level but failure of
which can translate into cumulative effects with long term residual impacts.
A number of mitigation measures have been proposed in order to prevent/ minimize or avoid
the anticipated impacts. These include: use of scour checks to minimize soil erosion;
composting of organic wastes for use as soil amendments in home gardens; use of Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) during project activities; limiting soil exposure to agents of
erosion; promotion of reduction and reuse of plastics waste; as well as sensitization of the
project beneficiaries on sound environment management. All of this is coupled with
strengthening of: grievance redress mechanism (GRM) formats for a monitoring plan; site
inspection reports; grievance registers; and forms for referral of grievances all agreed to with
major stakeholders are included in this report. This is further augmented by availability of
education materials to sensitize the beneficiaries and leaders on environmental and social
cross cutting issues associated with project operation. The cost of implementing this ESMP is
estimated at USD 13,000, exclusive of the cost of PPE, which is budgeted under materials
and tools.

1.0 Introduction
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS) has commenced implementing the
Public Works Component under the Safety Net and Skills Development Project (SNSDP) in
Juba City following suspension of the same in October 2016. The project is funded by World
Bank with counter funding from the Government of South Sudan. The project activities are
coordinated by the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) under the Ministry. Action Africa Help
International (AAHI) is the implementing partner (IP) for this component; AAHI works
closely with relevant Government structures at all levels. The project aims at providing
improving livelihoods of youth, women and other vulnerable members of society that come
from poor households through seasonal cash transfer linked to participation in public works.
This is aimed at increasing sustain households in terms of basic needs.
This report is combined with the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the
15 quarter councils where public works activities are carried out. The report provides an
overview of the environmental and social aspects of the proposed development, and identifies
and assesses the environmental and social impacts associated with project operation in
addition to defining the requisite mitigation measures. In line with the Environmental and
Social Management Framework (ESMF), it proposes mitigation measures and outlines the
path to operationalize an ESMP and a monitoring plan, highlighting tools to be used in
implementing the mitigation measures, and monitor daily progress. Grievance Redress
Mechanism (GRM) in this report outlines the structures as well as tools to be used in
fostering social harmony during project implementation.
1.1 Screening methodology
Screening is a participatory exercise between the major project stakeholders such as the PIU
staff, the consultants and the implementing partner (AAHI). All the subprojects have been
rescreened capturing changes in the social dynamics and environmental integrity following
the war that broke out in South Sudan in 2016. A standard screening form was used to
identify the environmental and social impacts. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and
interviews with key informant were conducted in addition to review of extent literature and
reports related to the project. Direct observations were also used to supplement other
information gathering tools.
7
The data from the screening forms, focus group discussions and key informant interviews
was collated and analyzed to identify possible mitigation measures. A matrix of the
summarized impacts was drawn and through a peer review with the PIU, QCs and AAH
mitigation measures were identified and an environment and social management plan drawn.
A validation meeting for the ESMP was arranged between PIU and AAH for harmonization
and to enable the IP to develop an action plan. Using the ESMP, a monitoring plan was made.
1.2 Assessment of environmental and social impacts
The identified impacts were rated based on the overall significance as negligible, minor,
moderate or major, based on magnitude of impact. The impacts include both biophysical and
social-economic.
1.3 .Subproject and beneficiary selection
The subprojects and beneficiaries were selected in a participatory manner, using a criteria
consented by and with involvement of all major stakeholders including the implementing
partner (IP), communities, Quarter Councils (QCs) and PIU.

1.5 Tree planting and garbage collection
As illustrated in the table above, tree planting has been selected by 12 quarter councils based
on previous experience, where there were challenges with this subproject. The PIU and IP
agreed to halt site selection until a proper analysis is done and therefore no screening was
done. With regard to garbage collection, it was not among the subprojects approved by PIU.
However, it was noted that the activities of the project namely, clearing of drainage channels,
slashing and cleaning of public facilities will lead to generation of wastes especially plastic
wastes whose disposal has been integrated into the sub-project activities.
1.6 Biophysical and social economic characteristics of the project areas
The 15 selected quarter councils where the subprojects are being implemented have almost
similar biophysical and socio-economic conditions with slight differences depending on the
level of economic activities and topography as illustrated below;
1.6.1. Topography and hydrology
All the sites have gentle sloping hills with U-shaped valleys in which seasonal and permanent
streams or river flow. During rainy season, the seasonal streams get flooded and sometimes
wash away people’s property into the valleys up to River Nile which is a major challenge to
the project implementation. The area hydrology is influenced by River Nile and the Rock
formations in the area. There are several channels that flow in and out of the River Nile
within the subproject sites hence making the area access to water very easy.
1.6.2. Soils
The soils are largely sandy with parches of clay loam noted in Gudele and Hai Gabat. Clayey
sandy soils are also observed in the foot slopes, while clay and peat are found in the valleys
sandy. On hill ridges, the soils are rocky with rocky protrusions seen on the hill tops. The
soils are however fertile but highly erodible with signs of erosion (galleys) seen many along
the land scape.
9
1.6.3. Flora and fauna
Natural vegetation is evident along the Nile but species richness and abundance declining
gradually due to increasing anthropogenic factors which have increasingly threatened the
survival of these natural habitats due to timber harvest and expansion of human habit. The
long stretch of wetland vegetation surrounding Juba City similarly faces the same
anthropogenic threats due to expansion of human settlement.
1.6.4. Population
The population is cosmopolitan in nature with the indigenous cultural groups forming the
highest percentage. The culture and traditions of the local people are strongly evidenced by
communal living and the traditional dressing code.
1.6.5. Climate
The climate is typical of the cattle corridor but is highly influenced by the River Nile. This
can be demonstrated by the fact that as you move away from the Nile; the vegetation tends to
change from green forest ecosystems to shrubs and grass.
1.7 Description of selected sites
Some sites have been described to give a general picture of the Bio-physical and social-
economic characteristics of the subproject sites as they show some degree of homogeneity.
All the 15 Quarter councils have subprojects but few have been sampled to illustrate the
baseline conditions.
1.7.1 Gbongoroki Quarter Council
The immediate surroundings of the selected roads are mainly residential buildings with a few
commercial buildings. Some sections of the proposed sites selected for various activities are
located near seasonal stream. During screening, the stream was highly saturated with
significant water flowing through it and activities of the subprojects, if not well handled,
could lead to contamination of the water. Secondly there is also a primary school (Polti
Primary school) near the stream whose activities also can pollute the water.

1.7.2 Hai Game and Hai Commercial Quarter Council
The proposed activities in Hai Game quarter council include rehabilitation of the road that
connects Hai Game to Hai Commercial. The road also lies adjacent to a school and
residential buildings. It comprises of two sections one located in Hai Game while the other
one is located in Hai Commercial. The two sections of the road are separated by a seasonal
stream. At the time of the screening exercise, the seasonal stream had some little water
flowing since it was a rainy season and therefore the sub-projects activities will be handled
with care to ensure the water flow is neither contaminated nor blocked.

1.7.3 Gudele Block 4
The proposed activities to be implemented in Gudele block 4 are rehabilitation of 3 roads
each measuring approximately 1km. The three roads to be rehabilitated by the project are
characterized by light vehicle traffic since the area is predominantly a residential area with
temporary, semi-permanent and permanent structures most of which are in perimeter fences
(Bamboo and concrete for some). It is relatively flat and consultations with some of the
residents in this area indicated that the area always floods during the rainy seasons. Most
home-steads have back yard gardens with vegetables and okra for domestic consumption.
Home gardening is therefore an important land use activity both within the fences and along
the road reserves. It is recommended that efforts be made to enhance productivity in home
gardens as part of the sustainability and livelihood improvement strategies. In addition, due to
the low laying terrain the area is prone to flooding and all the road works will ensure that
measures are put in place to ensure water flow is not diverted nor contaminated.

1.7.4 Hai Kosti
One of the drainage channels to be rehabilitated is located on a very busy road with heavy
vehicles that normally park on this road while loading/offloading merchandise destined to
several locations countrywide. Other drainage channels are located on less busy access roads
from residential homesteads. The roads to be rehabilitated within Hai Kosti are the inner
roads in the quarter council that have minimal traffic considering the rocky nature of this
area. Hai Kosti is located in one of the busiest commercial locations within Juba. It borders
with Konyokonyo market one of the biggest markets in Juba. Although there are residential
homesteads in the area, there are several other commercial establishments such as wholesale
and retail business, motor vehicle repair workshops and hotels. The area comprises of
temporary buildings, semi-permanent buildings and permanent buildings. These building are
enclosed in fences made from bamboo, iron sheets or brick walls. Due to the sloping terrain
of the area and sandy soils, the area is prone to soil erosion and mitigation measures will be
put in place to minimize washing away the soils.

1.7.5 Hai Gabat
The proposed activities to be implemented in Hai Gabat include rehabilitation of the
community access road within the quarter council. The area slants gently towards the wetland
that borders with Juba International Airport and River Nile wetland ecosystems. The
immediate surroundings of the area where the project is to be implemented comprises of
mainly temporary and semi – permanent residential buildings. The area is also located near a
wetland that stretches to Juba International Airport and River Nile.

1.7.6 Gudele Block 6
The activities selected to be implemented in Gudele Block 6 include rehabilitation of 3 roads
within the quarter council, establishment of drainage channels along the selected roads. All
the three roads to be rehabilitated are characterized by very light traffic that comprises of
mainly residents of this area. The area and the rest of Gudele is a flat terrain that normally
floods during the rainy season. The immediate surroundings of the proposed roads to be
rehabilitated include mainly temporary, semi-permanent and permanent residential buildings.
Most of the buildings are enclosed in bamboo or brick fences. There was a storied building
that houses Kampala Prime Junior Academy (a primary school) and a football pitch located
adjacent one of the roads that is to be rehabilitated.

1.7.7 Hai Seminary
The proposed activities to be implemented in Hai Seminary include rehabilitation of 4 access
roads in the quarter council. Each of four the selected roads in the quarter council joins the
main tarmac road connecting Juba city to the rest of Gudele. The roads are characterized with
very light traffic comprising of mainly light weight vehicles and motor cycles. Hai Seminary
is predominantly a residential area comprising of mainly temporary, semi-permanent and
permanent building structures most of which are used for accommodation purposes and a few
used for commercial purposes. All the buildings are enclosed in either bamboo or brick wall
fences. Hai Seminary has a relatively flat terrain but borders with a temporary stream in the
eastern boundary towards Hai Tarawa.

The area is characterized by temporary residential buildings that were constructed with iron
sheet. There are also semi-permanent and permanent buildings that are used for residential
and commercial purposes. The area neighbors with the Episcopal Church of South Sudan in
the northern neighborhood and Buluku Basic Primary School in the eastern neighborhood.
The southern neighborhood comprises of a seasonal stream which serves as the border
between Jendia and Hai Kosti. The area slopes gently towards the seasonal stream in the
southern direction.

2.0 Findings from Stakeholder Consultations, FGDs and Observations
2.1 Potential impacts and proposed mitigation measures
Generally, most of the project area is characterized by sandy loam soils with clay loam soils
found in areas such as Gudele. The soils are highly erodible and the topography is composed
of gently sloping hills separated by U-shaped valleys criss-crossed with both permanent and
seasonal streams which occasionally flood during the rainy seasons because of the areas high
water table. The road works on steep slopes may lead to soil erosion as a result making the
soils loose and leaving them bare where slashing. In addition, during cleaning of draining
channels, solid wastes will be generated and there will be need to dispose them appropriately
During field investigation quarter council authorities of project sites were consulted in
addition to project beneficiaries. There was consensus among the stakeholders that project
implementations will go a long way in alleviating the lack of essential necessities in the
vulnerable households. This was demonstrated by the high enrollment of the beneficiaries.
Central to the project popularity was income to project beneficiary community participating
in the project in addition to the other benefits such as improving the existing road network,
creating a hygienic environment through cleaning public facilities collection of garbage from
the community and acquiring skills in labor based road works. When consulted on the
expected challenges, they expressed optimism that the benefits outweigh the challenges.
Some of the likey challenges identified included: Lack of equity during subproject and
beneficiary selection, late payments, misusing the money earned by engaging in risky
behaviors like alcoholism, conflicts during work, corruption, accidents, rumor mongering and
disruption of the project by political instability. The communities and stakeholders elaborated
that the following measures will be used to handle the social issues: Awareness creation,
using clear targeting criteria, constant monitoring, follow up of households that are benefiting
from the project, instilling discipline among the beneficiaries, and involvement of all
stakeholders.

3.0 Socio-Economic Baseline of the Project Area
The current population of South Sudan is estimated at 12,765,970 based on the
latest United Nations estimates and is equivalent to 0.17% of the world population
and ranks number 76 with a population density of about 21 per Km2 (53 people per
mi2). The total land area is 610,952 Km2 (235,890 sq. miles) where 19.7 % of the
population is urban (2,481,364 people in 2017) and the median age in South Sudan
is 18.7 years. Despite an abundance of natural resources, including large oil deposits,
South Sudan remains one of the poorest countries in the world. More than 90 percent of
the population lives on less than a dollar a day. The situation is particularly difficult for
youth with limited education, young females, as well as those living outside of urban
centers.
Lack of basic infrastructure, systemic tribal clashes, a fractured government, poor
educational systems, the heavy dependence on international aid, and crippling gender
norms are among some of the factors that thwart young people in their pursuit of social
and economic development. The lack of educational and economic opportunities for
youth, fragile markets, and weak governance are the legacy of a protracted conflict with
Sudan and continued political uncertainty within the new nation. This uneducated,
unskilled and underutilized population of young people, combined with politically
motivated ethnic tensions, threatens to prolong conflict in South Sudan and further
isolate its young people from pursuing productive and non-violent futures.
Juba is located within the southern part of South Sudan in the midst of vast expanses of
open space, including swamplands and agrarian landscapes. City officials estimate that
Juba proper occupies a 12-kilometer area in diameter from the center of town
(approximately 11,300 hectares). Greater Juba, including the surrounding rural lands,
encompasses roughly 100 kilometers in diameter and is comprised of three sub-area
districts: Juba, Kator, and Munuki. Currently, Juba’s total population is comprised of
approximately 250,000 inhabitants that are a mixture of all ethnic groups
Findings from the screening exercise in section 2.0 outlined a number of social
impacts that may arise in the project area. These impacts have a close link with the
socio-economic dynamics as outlined. In this regard, a social management plan
(SMP) has been prepared as summarized in table 2.

3.2 Grievance Redress Mechanism
3.2.1 Definition
• A grievance redress mechanism is a locally based, formalized way to accept,
assess, and resolve community feedback or complaints
• The project that involves many people is likely to trigger complaints arising
out of a number of issues.
• It’s worse in communities affected by political instability and with high rates
of vulnerability.
• Grievances can occur at any stage of project implementation
3.2.2 Benefits of a grievance redress mechanism
• Improve project outcomes at lower cost: GRMs focus on corrective actions to
resolve identified implementation concerns before they escalate to the point of
harm or conflict, allowing solutions to be implemented quickly and at a
relatively low cost.
• Help to prioritize supervision: Using citizen feedback, GRMs are a channel for
early warning, helping to target supervision to where it is most needed.
• Identify systemic issues: As part of a management system, GRMs can be used
to identify some systemic implementation issues and trends that need to be
addressed.
• Promote accountability: Because most GRMs rely to some degree on local
people and institutions, an effective GRM can help improve local ownership
of development projects.
3.3.3 Procedure for GRM
It is in line with the Government establishment from community to National levels as
provided for in the project document and organogram shown below:

5.0 Conclusions and Recommendations
The project will go along away in mitigating the vulnerability and therefore improve
the people’s livelihoods. It will also promote community coherence but issues of long
term impacts need to be given a thought in order to reduce the possibilities of the
dependency syndrome.
Overall, most project activities do not have significant environmental and social
issues because of the scope of subprojects and adjacent environmental and social
setup. Most of the impacts are manageable and localized in nature. However, the
effects of these activities can have cumulative effects since the number of people
involved is big in a small area. Secondly; emphasis should be laid soil erosion control
considering the fragility of soils in project area. It’s also important that project
activities are mindful of water conservation since given the water stress-ness of the
area.
There is also low investment in solid waste management by government and absence
of community effort to minimize or properly dispose of solid waste. This has resulted
into littering particularly of plastic waste in the drainage and other open areas, and
because of the limited environmentally friendly options for management of solid
wastes, burning is a common practice yet it is dangerous to human health and also
contributes to the predisposing factors of climate change.
Therefore, in line with the ESMP and in addition to the proposed mitigation measures,
the following recommendations are made;
• Intensify the campaign against burning of plastic wastes
• There is need to think of productive subprojects in order to strengthen the
safety nets for purposes of sustainability and minimizing the dependency
syndrome and explore the possibilities of scaling up the project as this project
is the one that can meet the immediate needs of the vulnerable people.
