SEMI ANNUAL SOCIAL SAFEGUARD MONITORING REPORT

1. INTRODUCTION:

North Eastern Region Capital Cities Development Investment Program (NERCCDIP) is being

undertaken for improvement of existing infrastructure, environmental quality and access to basic

urban services Shillong Planning area. The NERCCDIP’s objective is to improve the urban

environment and promote reforms for sustainable, efficient, and responsive urban service delivery.

The primary drivers for the initiation of NERCCDIP have been bridging the gaps in urban

infrastructure provision, supplementing financial resources and technical capacity and meeting the

unmet urban public health and sanitation needs. The various Program components are Water supply,

Sewerage and Sanitation, Solid Waste Management infrastructure.

With an overall objective of sustainable urban development, the NERCCDIP is being implemented in

the five capital cities - Gangtok, Aizawl, Kohima, Gangtok and Shillong. NERCCDIP implemented over

a six year period beginning in 2010, and is funded by a loan via the Multi-tranche Financing Facility

(MFF) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

The expected impact of the Investment program is improved environment and well-being of urban

residents in the five cities. The expected outcomes of the Investment Program will be an increased

access to better urban services for the 1.5 million people expected to be living in the Investment

Program cities by the 2014. To this end, the program will (i) improve urban infrastructure and services,

(ii) strengthen urban institutions for better service delivery build program management and

implementation capacity.

In Shillong, capital city of Meghalaya, the Executing Agency (EA) for the program is the Urban

Development Department (UDD) of the Government of Meghalaya; and the Implementing Agency (IA)

is the State-level Investment Program Management and Implementation Unit (SIPMIU), created within

the UDD, specifically for the Investment Program implementation. At central level Investment Program

Coordination Cell (IPCC) is established in MOUD. IPCC is responsible for overall management of the

Investment Program and is support Program Management & Monitoring Consultants (PMMC).

2.0 Implementation Arrangements – an OVERVIEW

The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) is the national-level executing agency (EA) of the

Program. An IPCC has been established in MOUD and will include a social officer. A National

Steering Committee (NSC) is monitoring fund use and overall implementation performance of the

Investment Program. A State-level Executing Agency (SEA) is executing the part of the loan falling

under respective State Governments. In each State there a State Steering Committee (SSC) has

been formed and an Investment Program Empowered Committee (IPEC) is also operational.

1.2 Social Safeguard Activities for Tranche -1&2 Sub Projects

In order to identify the Resettlement Impacts, if any, due to the subproject implementation, the

SIPMIU officials & the DSM Consultants have carried out sufficient site visits and consultative

inspections in the project areas during the preparation of RP. Based on this and further discussions

held with the local public in the City, it has been confirmed that the implementation of the above

subprojects would not have any resettlement impact at any stage. Hence all the sub projects of

tranche-1&2 with respect to Resettlement Impact would be under „Category C�. However, periodic

site visits and discussions with local public are continuing during the project implementation to confirm

that no resettlement issues remain unnoticed or unaddressed.

1.11 Workshop on Gender Sensitization For Government Officials on 17th April 2013.

1.11.1 Workshops for Government Officials: Specific Objective:

To arrive at common understanding on gender issues so as to enable department workers to have

sensitive approach and ensure justice, equity and participation of women, and to facilitate

development of departmental level gender policy.

1.11.2 Profile of Workshop Participants:

The participants of the workshop will be Government Officials from SIPMIU, SMB, MUDA, UAD,

PWD, PHED, and Social Welfare Departments. There was equal number of men and women

participants from the various departments.

1.11.3 Workshop Report

1.11.3.1 Session I:

The workshop on gender sensitization was organized for the Government Officials of different

Departments by SIPMIU in collaboration with Mott MacDonald Consortium. There were 35

participants in the workshop. The workshop was held at the Conference Hall of the Urban Affairs

Department, Government of Meghalaya. The meeting started at 10 am with the welcome address

from the Project Director Mr. B. Dutta followed by self introduction from the participants. Mr. Dutta

also provided the perspective and the background to the workshop. He highlighted on the salient

features of the NERCCDIP project which has two components that would be initiated in the SMB

jurisdiction first and the functioning and operation of the new system will be managed by the SMB. He

stress that this project focuses on the improvement of the environment.

He also highlighted on the projects being taken by other states where water projects have been taken

up, whereas in Meghalaya/Shillong the two project components i.e., Solid Waste Management and

Sewerage System has been taken so as to improve the environmental conditions. For the Water

project the government has got a different source of funding, so it would be implemented by a

different department.

The Project Director also highlighted on some of the ADB safeguards that need to be taken into

consideration while implementing any type of development projects. He said it is a learning

experience that is useful for all development programmes. He listed four safeguards that should be

look upon while bring any kind of project in the state.

1. Environment Safeguards

2. Re-settlement safeguards

3. Indigenous People’s safeguard

Gender Mainstreaming, which is a major focus in the project design.

26

With regard to Gender Mainstreaming he was of the view that although Meghalaya has the unique

matrilineal system of family, when it comes to actual decision making it is still dominated by men.

Although comparing to other parts of India we can say that women enjoy a fairly better status, yet

there are big gaps in the actual empowerment of women, particularly in decision making whether it is

in the family or in the Dorbar Committees. He concluded that the seminar is supposed to help the

participants understand on what gender mainstreaming is all about and to carry forward gender

equality while implementing the NERCCDIP Project.

Mr. Pritam Kapoor, North East Coordinator, Ministry Urban Development Govt. of India shared some

perspective concerning Gender Mainstreaming. He said that, initially there was a question on the role

of women in an engineering project. The question of how they could provide any help in executing

these kinds of project. But then slowly an understanding came upon where they found out that

women are the ones who make the most use of the technological projects. Therefore it is understood

that, women can give their suggestion as well as participate while implementing infrastructure

projects especially in designs as well as its execution.

Mr. Kapoor thanked the Project Director for organising this Gender Workshop and thanks the

participants for participating in these Programmes.

1.11.3.2 Session II:

The next session was facilitated by Mr. Rajib Ghosal, Social Development and Gender Consultant to

ADB on the topic of ADB’s Gender Strategy and approach in the context of Urban Development.

He started the presentation with Gender issues in Urban India then stresses on Social and Gender

issues in Meghalaya (Urban). Some of the Gender issues in the urban context are, time in fetching

water & quality of water leading to poor health, lack of sanitation results in women finding it difficult to

search for safe spaces. Ineffective waste management creates unsanitary conditions since women

spend more time inside homes the health risks are higher, & women traditionally excluded from land

ownership contributing to their continued poverty and insecurity etc. Therefore gender need in the

urban context include interventions for women and girls in the improvement in their education, health

and nutritional status, skilled employment opportunities for women with social security measures and

easier access to credit, representation of women in local government and leadership of women in

state/national legislature, equitable access to social services for women and design of public spaces

safe for women, equal access to water and sanitation facilities to promote convenience, hygiene,

health, and safety, strengthening of laws and penal codes to prevent continued violence against

women at the community and domestic level. Gender Action plan is important during the

implementation of any project to ensure the project is time bound, monitored, budget allocation is

specific and lastly implementations are followed.

After the presentation, Chairperson, Mr. B. Dutta asked for an open discussion from the participants.

Mr Kapoor pointed out on whether the literacy figures are correct, as he is of the opinion that

Meghalaya state is one of the most literate states of India. Mr. Rajib explained that the figures were

27

got from the web and corroborated from the documentation at DSMC office. The Chairperson, Mr. B.

Dutta explained that in the urban context Meghalaya has a high literacy rate but if one goes to the

rural areas the picture is different. There are large numbers of school drop outs and illiteracy is still

very high.

1.11.3.3 Session III:

After the Tea break the next session was facilitated by Mr. Paul Lokho, Community Development

Expert, DSMC, who presented on the Gender Action Plan for Shillong City, and the progress

achieved so far.

Mr. Paul Lokho started the presentation with a few slides on the background of the NERCCDIP

followed by presentation on Shillong City Gender Action Plan, the Progress achieved so far and the

future plans. Coming to Gender Action Plan, Gender Sensitization Workshops were conducted for

various stakeholders of the city like women groups of different social strata, leading women NGO

groups including the traditional institutions, in consultative meetings to understand their issues

relating to livelihood & sanitation. Consultations with Community Leaders: to understand and be

aware on gender issues and also Government Officials to be aware on Gender Issues and to facilitate

implementation of departmental level gender policies. Under this project, a survey identifying Female

Headed Household was conducted in the whole of Shillong city. Livelihood enhancement trainings

were conducted for the urban poor women. Under NERCCDIP, employment generation is made

available for women by ensuring tender conditions incorporating a conscious decision to make

opportunities available to women. Across the board the programs incorporated line of advocacy for

equal wages for same volume or time of work. Employment opportunities in construction activities at

the landfill sites, laying of pipes etc. will also be kept open for capable women as well. Basic

amenities will be available for women in the landfill sites.

1.11.3.4 Session IV

The next session was facilitated by Ms. Darilyn Syiem, Director, Peoples’ Learning Centre on the

topic of “Gender Equity & Women’s Empowerment”.

Ms Darilyn Syiem’s presentation stresses on Understanding Gender Equity and Women’s

Empowerment in the context of Shillong. She started by helping the participants understand the

difference between men & women according to societal gender stereotypes. Gender = Biological Sex

+/- Social Values. According to UNFPA “Gender equity is the process of being fair to women and

men” Women and men should not only be given equal access to resources and equal opportunities,

but they should also be given the means of benefiting from this equality. Equity is essential to achieve

true equality. She also led the house to a few reflections on the role of women and men in waste

management. “The very definitions of waste and discarded materials may be influenced by the

gender of the person making the judgment. What looks like “junk to women may be motorcycle parts

to men; and what looks like “dirt to men may be compost or fertilizer to women”

28

1.11.3.5 Session V:

The next session was facilitated by Mrs. Loma Jyrwa, Mission Director, State Resource Centre for

Women, who presented on Gender Budgeting. She started with the genesis of Gender Budgeting in

India touching from the seventh to the ninth five-year plans and the Human Development Report.

Gender Budgeting is important in India because 50% of the country’s population is represented by

women. Gender Budgeting is to analyse the government budget for impact on women & men, girls &

boys. Gender budgeting is an important policy of government as no policy can be implemented

without a budget. Some of the benefits of Gender Budgeting are accountability, efficiency,

transparency and facilitate women’s participation. Gender budgeting also includes invisible or unpaid

work that most women are involved with, like housework, cooking, caring for kids, aged & sick people

etc. System of National Accounts (SNA) says that unpaid care work is “work”, even though not

counted in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore the task ahead include continuing training

workshop on Gender Budgeting, develop training manuals for all levels, organize workshop & studies

for gender analysis of budget, while analyzing budget one should take into consideration the specific

geographical & sectoral areas of beneficiaries and promote capacity building of research

organizations for analysis.

During the open house discussions Mr. Kapoor raised a question on the quantification of Gender

Budget in the State and how much will they accounted for. To this Mrs. Jyrwa answered that she

does not know about other departments but she says that 80% is earmarked for women welfare from

the Social Welfare Department. Project Director then stated that Gender Issues is a learning curve in

the state, and through the ADB’s project, everyone is sensitized by it.

1.11.3.6 Session VI:

Mr Anjay Kumar, Environment Specialist, Mott MacDonald Pvt. Ltd. gave a presentation on

Environment. His presentation was on the different environmental impacts that will follow during the

implementation of the two components of this project and the different ways and means to

supplement them.

1.12 Concluding Session: The Way Forward:

Mr. Paul Lokho led the session on the way forward. He explained how each department may develop

small gender policies, but even before that each individuals could start by advocating gender friendly

office environment and disability friendly offices. He advised all the participants to carry whatever

knowledge they receive on Gender Issues from the workshop back to their respective departments to

ensure that Gender Sensitivity is considered as important. Small measures like gender-friendly basic

amenities can be advocated in the forms of;

1. Covered dustbins in every office room, particularly where women sat.

2. Women friendly, disabled friendly toilets

3. Few written guidelines on sensitivity to women, girls and disabled people.

29

The workshop came to a close with a vote of thanks from Mr. B. Dutta, Project Director SIPMIU.

Remarks

Indigenous Peoples Identification

1. Are there socio-cultural groups present in or use the project area who may be considered as "tribes" (hill tribes, schedules tribes, tribal peoples), "minorities" (ethnic or national minorities), or "indigenous communities" in the project area?

� The percentage of ST population in Shillong as per 2001 census is 48 percent to the total population. Of the total tribal population 93%, 3%and 2% are Khasi, Garo and Lushai tribe respectively.

2. Are there national or local laws or policies as well as anthropological researches/studies that consider these groups present in or using the project area as belonging to "ethnic minorities", scheduled tribes, tribal peoples, national minorities, or cultural communities?

� Shillong falls under the Sixth Schedule3 of the Constitution of India. In Shillong (and also for the entire state of Meghalaya), the provisions of the Sixth Schedule as per Article 244 of the Constitution of India are applicable to the administration of the indigenous areas. This essentially means that the tribal area of Meghalaya will be governed not by other provisions of the Constitution relating to the States or Union Territories of the Union of India but by the provisions of the Sixth Schedule alone, which contain a self contained code for the governance of the tribal areas. The Autonomous District Councils, under paragraph 3 of the Sixth Schedule, have the powers to make laws. The Sixth Schedule gives the ADC power over management of land, watercourses, creation of village and town committees, public health, sanitation, appointment and succession of chiefs (Syiems) and head men, inheritance of property, marriage and social customs.

3. Do such groups self-identify as being part of a distinct social and cultural group?

� -do-

4. Do such groups maintain collective attachments to distinct habitats or ancestral territories and/or to the natural resources in these habitats and territories?

� The land for the Tranch 2 project has already been handed over to SMB by Forest Department. The land under the proposed project does not provide any evidence of such.

5. Do such groups maintain cultural, economic, social, and political institutions distinct from the dominant society and culture?

� All the tribal population has already been mainstreamed. The workforce structure as per census shows that more than 40 percent are in tertiary sector employment. The rate of female literacy is higher than the national average. However, the political institution is different but parallel to the governance system of the India union.

6. Do such groups speak a distinct language or dialect?

� Though the local dialect is “Khasi”, everyone speak English. The medium of basic education is English.

7. Has such groups been historically, socially and economically marginalized, disempowered, excluded, and/or discriminated against?

The Sixth Schedule gives the ADC power over management of land, watercourses, creation of village and town committees, public health, sanitation, appointment and succession of chiefs (Syiems) and head men, inheritance of property, marriage and social customs. Part 10 of the Constitution of India deals with the “Scheduled and Tribal Areas” Article 244 (2) of the Constitution states that: The provisions of the Sixth Schedule shall apply to the administration of the tribal areas in the States of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram. The Sixth Schedule provides for declaring those districts included in each item of (Parts 1,II and II A and in Part III) of the table appended to paragraph 20 of the Sixth Schedule as autonomous districts , which in the case of the State of Meghalaya, includes Khasi Hills District, Jaintia Hills District and the Garo Hills District. To govern these districts, para 2 (sub para 1) provides that: a) There shall be a District Council for each autonomous district consisting of not more than 30 members, of whom not more than four persons shall be nominated by the Governor and the rest shall be elected on the basis of adult suffrage. Further, Para 3, sub para 1 lays down the powers of the District Council which includes: allotment, occupation or use or setting land apart for purposes of agriculture or grazing or for residential etc., purposes to promote the interests of the inhabitants of any village or town. Para 5 deals with conferment of powers under Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure Codes on the District Councils; para 6 empowers District Councils to establish primary schools etc; para 8 lays down their powers to assess and collect land revenue and to impose taxes and para 10 refers to power to make regulations for the control of money lending and trading by non-tribals etc. According to para 20, sub-para 2, no part of the area comprised within the Municipality of Shillong shall be deemed to be within the Khasi Hills District.
