Republic of Tajikistan: CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project
URSP-3 1
A. Background
1. The CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project includes the rehabilitation of the 114 km road section of the national road to Kyrgyz border. The development of 25 km road section from Nimich to Sayron, and the 89 km section from Sayron to Karamik (herein after referred to as the Project) comprise the project area. The Project aims to foster regional and international cooperation and sustainable economic growth in Tajikistan by increasing the efficiency and safety of transport between Dushanbe and Rasht valley in the north-east road corridor linking the capital Dushanbe to the Kyrgyz border
2. The objectives of the Project are to (i) reduce poverty and promote sustainable economic growth in the area, and (ii) improve regional trade and cooperation. These objectives will be achieved (i) in the short-term by construction related activity, and (ii) in the long-term by the improvement of transport efficiency through reduction of transport costs to road users and improved access to markets and social services in the area.
3. The Project will rehabilitate the Dushanbe-Kyrgyz border road from Nimich through Jirgatal to border post at Karamik. The construction of the road has been awarded as two contracts, the first being the rehabilitation of the 25 km road sector between Nimich and Sayron (Package 2) and the second the 89 km road sector from Sayron to Karamik (Package 1) in a corridor varying in width between 3 to 8 m to a maximum width of 13 m in urban areas
4. The Executing Agency for this project is the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC). The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) established under the Ministry will function as the implementing agency while the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) will perform the duties of the Engineer on behalf of the PIU.
5. The Loan Agreement for the Project was signed by the MOTC and ADB on 03rd November 2007. Accordingly, the MOTC allocated specific funds for ‘Land Acquisition and Resettlement’
6. The road rehabilitation works of the Project will have only limited resettlement impacts. Accordingly, a Short Resettlement Plan (SRP) for the Project was prepared in June 2007 under TA 4784-TAJ, based on preliminary design information, general findings of survey data, field visits, secondary socio-economic data and consultation with local people and authorities. Relevant details of this SRP are summarized below:
i. All construction activities will take place on the existing established right-of-way (ROW).
ii. 7 households were identified in a short section of the alignment (within Tajikabad Rayon) that may be seriously affected, out of a total of 27 households that would be affected in some way by widening of the road reserve to accommodate drainage and pedestrian requirements.
iii. Paragraph 16 confirms that the SRP is based on preliminary design information which will have to be updated before the signing of contract awards, and that if anything the detailed design will more likely lead to a reduction of resettlement impacts.
iv. ‘Policy Framework and Entitlements’, ‘Institutional Arrangements’, ‘Consultation and Grievance Redress’, ‘Monitoring Arrangements’ and
Republic of Tajikistan: CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project
URSP-3 2
‘Financial and Implementation Schedule’ are detailed in the report, and are not repeated in this updated report.
7. As part of the SRP process, and in addition to stakeholder meetings and consultations, a pamphlet in Tajik summarizing compensation eligibility and entitlement provisions has been distributed to all affected households.
8. The construction work of Package 2: the 25 km section from Nimich to Sayron, has been completed and all compensation payments for the affected persons (APs) in this section have also been completed. Independent Monitoring on compensation payments for Package 2 APs was conducted by the Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) and a summary report is included as Section E of this updated SRP.
9. The project section under consideration, Package 1: Sayron to Karamik (248 -337 km), (Figure-1) is a conventional civil works contract based on prepared design drawings and a Bill of Quantities (BOQ).
10. Tenders for Package 1 construction were received on 2nd May 2008. The lowest conforming bid price received for Package 1 was USD 44,500,172.48. Following the two part Technical Qualification Assessment and Financial Evaluation process, ADB approval to negotiate with China Railway (WUJU) Corporation (CRWC) for Package 1 was received on 06th August 2008. Negotiations to reduce the bid value to within available loan provisions included joint inspection of Site by MOTC and CRWC. After negotiations to reduce the scope of work and bid price to USD 29,691,372.66, a recommendation to award this contract to CRBC was submitted to the ADB on 15th August 2008.
11. Package 1 site inspections during the tender negotiation process indicated that the final road alignment could be accommodated within the existing right-of-way (ROW) without significant resettlement impacts, and reduced costs.
12. Earth work of Package-1 has been mostly completed and the List of APs entitled to compensation payments (Resettlement List) has been finalized. The Resettlement List for the section has been forwarded by the PIU to the Ministry of Finance for effecting the payments.
B. Updated SRP
13. An Updated Short Resettlement Plan (August 2008) was prepared in August, 2008 fulfilling the requirement in paragraph 69 of the RRP.

C. Second Updating
14. As a requirement of the first Updated SRP (August 2008) the short resettlement plan was again updated in August, 2009 to include all the APs identified and confirmed, subsequent to finalization of the ROW of Package 2, and current costs. At this time the road design for Package 1 was not completed and therefore the list of APs could not be finalized.
15. Package 2 of the CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project comprised the rehabilitation of a 25 km section of the national road from Nimich to Sayron in which the civil works included widening of the existing road alignment, reconstruction of road pavement and drainage structures, rehabilitation and replacement of bridges, and installation of road safety devices and traffic signs.
16. This Second Updated Short Resettlement Plan (USRP-2:Aug 2009)), was prepared to accommodate the changes in the resettlement list and thereby the APs and compensation costs, which have been brought about by the alterations to the road designs in Package 2. The design alterations had been made with due consideration to reduce land take as much as possible. USRP-2 was prepared using the final designs, verification of affected properties and APs through participatory surveys, and consultation of local people and local authorities. The main focus of USRP-2 was on Package 2 as the updating and verification of APs and affected properties in Package 1 was in progress.
D. Final Updating
17. The design for the Package 1 having being completed in December 2009 the preparation of the Resettlement List for compensation payments was finalized in July 2010. The finalized list included 26 house owners. This final updating of the short resettlement plan has been carried out to include all the APs identified and confirmed by the finalized Resettlement List for Package 1, as required by the first Updated SRP (August 2008).
18. In this updated short resettlement plan (USRP-3) the following relevant tables from the Updated SRP of August 2008 is included for reference and comparison.

plots as compensation for area of land lost,
on the basis that the existing land would be
given over in its entirety. Only 1 affected
HH wanted to be relocated and requested
a replacement plot. An alternate plot
acceptable to the resettling HH has been
allocated. All 6 other affected HH elected
to remain on their existing, but reduced
plots adjacent to the ROW, and waived
rights of entitlement for allocation of a new
plot.

Table 4: Comparison of ADB Policy with Tajikistan Land Code
ADB Policy Requirements
Tajikistan Land Code (LC) Provisions
Reconciliation Provisions
The APs are to be informed and consulted on resettlement/ compensation options.
The LC does not provide for consultation In this project APs were consulted on options. The SRP will be disclosed to them.
If displacement of population is unavoidable, it should be minimized by exploring all viable options.
The LC discourages acquisition of agricultural land when more marginal land is available, at infrastructure planning stage.
The project only rehabilitates existing ROW with minor widening around Tajikabad.
Compensation/rehabilitation costs are to be fully included in project budgets.
The provision of the local law is silent on cost of social preparation and livelihood programs
The RP will detail all costs related to the compensation/rehabilitation program.
Lack of formal legal title to the land by some affected groups should not be a bar to compensation or rehabilitation.
The LA has no similar provision. The AF so affected will receive assistance with provision of building materials in lieu of land-use loss rehabilitation allowance.
Beside compensation at replacement cost for land, houses, crops, trees and businesses, ADB policy provides for rehabilitation provisions for severely affected and vulnerable APs and transport/transition livelihood costs.
The LC provides for compensation on the basis of equivalent land plot allocation for land, and compensation at replacement cost for structures, crops, trees and for business income but does not cover the rehabilitation of severely affected AFs and vulnerable people nor provides for transport/transition costs.
Special assistances for the 7 seriously affected HHs are included in the SRP. Alternate land plots have been offered to the 7 seriously affected HH’s, bit only 1 HH has requested such an allocation for relocation purposes.

19. The list of APs whose property is affected by road construction activities (Resettlement List) was prepared by a survey team headed by the M Mirzoev, Resettlement Officer of PIU and included representatives from Inter District Technical Inventory Bureau (MBTI), District Chief Architect, Road Maintenance Administration, Jirgital Hukumat and Deputy Resident Engineer (of CSC). The properties affected were identified with reference to the finalized design for the road rehabilitation. As expected, there is a substantial increase from the number of affected properties estimated during the preparation of the first SRP1.

20. The compensation payments totaling Somoni 255,433 has been computed and certified by the following officers:
R Jenaliev, Head of MBTI,
Z Davlyatov, Chief of Construction Department, Jirgatal
M Jaborov District Chief Architect, Jirgatal
D Safarov, Head, MNDRA
The rates used by MBTI for calculating the individual AP payments are presented in Annex-3.
21. Of the 26 affected properties 2 houses were to be moved back from the road while the impact on the other properties was limited to demolition of a part of the boundary wall and/or animal shelters. The two houses, though not within the ROW, have been recommended to be moved away from the road edge mainly for safety reasons. One of the affected house owners, Mr Garibek Mhmudov of Dombrachi village, has already demolished the house (Figure 2) and is in the process of constructing a new house. As this house is still under construction he and his family has taken temporary residence in a subterranean storeroom meant for storing the potato crop (vide Figure 3).
Figure 2: Demolished house Figure 3: New house & Present abode
22. The other house owner 70 year old Ms Halima Samieva is being looked after by her two sons who inhabit the same house. They are in the process of building a new house (Figure 5) but have not demolished the house at the road verge and are still living in it..

Information Disclosure and Consultation
23. Consultations with the APs were conducted to verify their satisfaction and agreement to the compensation payment computation and disbursement process. The APs were shown the compensation payment matrix which included the dimensions of the affected property, rates used in calculation and the final payment. Notwithstanding that all the APs consulted were in agreement with the computation of the payments they were seeking immediate payment. Thus, it is essential that the APs are compensated immediately, especially the two APs whose houses have been or are to be demolished.
24. The total cost of compensation payments prepared by MBTI and submitted to PIU by the Chairman of the Jirgital Local Authority for package 1 is Somoni 255,433 (Table 8). PIU has submitted this request to the Ministry of Finance who will transfer funds to the Chairman. The payments are expected to commence by 01 October 2010.
25. During the consultations it was revealed that an AP had a complaint with regard to non inclusion of a part of his affected property in computing the compensation payments and the Resettlement Officer of PIU was informed for further investigation. Complaints regarding high dust levels and road closures were directed to the Deputy Resident Engineer and people were informed about the public complaints registering and resolving process.

F Monitoring and Evaluation
26. As the impacts of the road rehabilitation activities on the APs and properties are limited simple process monitoring has been recommended to check the adequacy and timeliness of compensation paid to APs. PIU would utilize allocations under the Land Acquisition and Resettlement budget for internal monitoring and evaluation. Quarterly reports on progress of resettlement monitoring will be submitted to the ADB by the PIU.
1. Monitoring Objectives
27. The purpose of internal monitoring is to maintain supervision responsibility of the resettlement organs as specified in the SRP during implementation, and ensure that the project can be constructed smoothly and APs’ entitlements are accounted for. Internal monitoring will be performed by PIU.
28. A Resettlement Monitoring Framework for internal simple process monitoring was prepared by the consultant on behalf of the PIU and was included in the USRP-2. The frame work includes the objectives of monitoring, the process of monitoring, roles and responsibilities and the methodology to be employed in carrying out the monitoring, monitoring indicators and frequency, resources available and the expected outcome of the monitoring.
29. SRP has also recommended Independent Monitoring by the CSC and this monitoring was conducted during August, 2010 for Package 2. Independent ex-post evaluation survey to assess the achievement of resettlement objectives, the changes in living standards and livelihoods and the restoration of the economic and social base of the APs in Package 1 will be conducted after compensation payments as per the Resettlement List is effected.
2. Independent Monitoring
30. AP consultations were carried out during the Independent Monitoring of Package 2 compensation payments by the CSC. The monitoring incorporated a questionnaire survey to obtain information on the key indicators of resettlement progress. This ex-post evaluation of resettlement was conducted to assess the effectiveness, impact and sustainability of resettlement entitlements; and to learn strategic lessons for future policy formulation and planning.
2.1 Monitoring Procedure
31. As stated in the Second Updated Short Resettlement plan (USRP-2: Aug 2009), PIU had revised the Resettlement List for Package 2 and the payments were affected as per the new list (Annex-4 and 5) which also was approved by the MBTI. The Independent Monitoring was conducted in consultation with the APs in this revised Resettlement List (Annex -4).
32. A questionnaire (Annex-6) developed to include the monitoring indicators given below was used in the monitoring survey which included consultations with all the APs.
2.2 Monitoring Indicators
33. The indicators used in the External Monitoring and Evaluation and given below, are in
Republic of Tajikistan: CAREC Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project
Page 22 URSP-3
accordance with the ADB Handbook on Resettlement2.
Basic information on AP households in relation to Location, Gender of household head, Occupations and employment patterns and Income sources and levels;
Restoration of livelihoods: Adequacy of compensation payment to replace lost assets, re-establishment of enterprises and production;
Level of AP satisfaction: on time delivery of compensation payments, APs assessment of the extent to which their own living standards and livelihoods have been restored, APs knowledge about grievance procedures and conflict resolution procedures;
Effectiveness of Resettlement Planning: correctness of enumeration of APs and their assets, the time frame and budget;
Other Impacts: unintended environmental impacts, unintended impacts on employment;
2.3 Monitoring Methodology
34. The revised Resettlement List which contained the details of APs, affected properties and payments and the receipts signed by the payees were employed in the evaluation.
35. In consulting the APs every effort was taken to allow for informal discussion although a questionnaire was used. The monitoring team consisted of a field assistant from the area, interpreter and the consultant.
36. In total 42 affected house owners were consulted. Of these only two were women and in both cases the income earners were the children living in the house. Where the affected house owner was out of the country the spouses were consulted.
37. The receipts signed by the APs were tallied with the Resettlement List and these figures were shown to the APs to verify that there had been no deduction in payments. AP comments and opinions on the compensation payments and its impact and also the impact of the road development were analyzed against the indicators listed above.
2.4 Findings
38. A summary of the responses are tabulated below as table 9.

39. The AP responses revealed the following:
The assets that were damaged due to the road construction activities were mostly boundary walls (71%) while 23% included boundary walls and animal shelters/sheds. One AP had his tool shed damaged in addition to the boundary while 02 shop fronts opening out from the boundary wall were also damaged.
All APs had received compensation payments and there were no deductions from the payments computed by MBTI and forwarded to Ministry of Finance through the PIU/ Ministry of Transport and Communications;
Although the payments were timely 34% of the APs had not built replacement structures;
In most cases the payment was adequate to build structures that were similar in size and quality to those damaged. APs who responded that the payment was inadequate were those who had built structures that were far superior in quality and size to the demolished structures.
All the APs were of the opinion that their income was not adversely affected by the damage to their structures. Even the two APs whose shop fronts were damaged said their income was affected only for a short period during the construction of the damaged shops. However, it was reported that the cemetery where the fence was demolished was damaged by cattle during the interim period between demolition and construction of a new fence.
The majority of the APs responded that there were no other adverse impacts from the road project. However, 12% of the APs said their cultivations were affected as the side drains did not provide for diversion of water to their small cultivated plots.
All APs were of the opinion that the road project had a number of benefits which included reduced generation of dust, less damage to vehicles, better access to markets and more income generation opportunities. Except for 03 APs all others said the road project would facilitate their travel.
2.5 Suggestions
40. Planning should include other uses of road infrastructure such as use of side drain water for cultivation purposes.
41. Compensation payments should include compensation for temporary loss of income of APs such as the shop owners whose shop income was affected.
Are there positive benefits of the road development?
Yes - 100%
No - -
No idea - -
Do you think you should have been given more assistance by the road project?
Yes - 100%
No - -
No idea - -
