1. Sharing on Information:

a) Background: Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh is facing shortage of water supply and demand is increasing day by day. Dhaka WASA is preparing Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project (DESWSP) to supply treated surface water, collected from the river Meghna, to Dhaka city dwellers through the construction of Gandharbpur Water Treatment Plant Project (GWTPP). The project also includes distribution reinforcement and network improvements to reduce non-revenue water (NRW for safe water and support to low income communities (LICs). With financial assistance from ADB, AFD and EIB, this project aims to reduce abstraction of ground water amounting 150 million liter per day (MLM).

b) Resettlement Plan, Policy and Principals: A Resettlement Plan (RP) has been prepared for the project based on ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 and Government of Bangladesh (GOB) Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance 1982 (APIRO).

c) Entitlement: The project provides for compensation of all potential losses including potential income losses for vendors at replacement value. As required by ADB Safeguards Policy (2009) the project will provide compensation and resettlement assistance for households’ lost land, business, structures and other lost assets in connection with the project. The RP approach incorporates (i) compensation for lost assets; (ii) resettlement issues; (iii) impact mitigation with special attention to the women and vulnerable groups; and (iv) income generating support to the members of the physically displaced households and including them in the poverty reduction and livelihood enhancement program.

d) Institutional Arrangement: DWASA has established, for the Project, a PMU headed by a PD, who will be responsible for the overall execution of the Project. The PMU will be supported with an experienced NGO for the implementation of resettlement activities which include livelihood rehabilitation. DWASA will implement the RP through setting a Safeguard Implementation (SIU) headed by DPD at the DESWSP PMU. The SIU, under the overall responsibility of the PD, will undertake day-to-day activities with the appointed NGO. The concerned Safeguards Officer at the level of AE of SIU, appointed by PIU will be convener of the JVC and PVAC. The DPD of SIU will perform as convener of GRC and RAC. The resettlement assistance NGO will assist APs to put forth grievances and access information on opportunities for employment in project related activities, rights and entitlements and the grievance redress process, and make informed choices.

e) Grievance Redress Mechanism: To resolve all project related grievance and complaints a common social and environmental grievance redress mechanism is in place. Common and simple grievances will be sorted out at project site level by the Contractor’s Resettlement Supervisor, supervision staff of PMU and project NGO within 7 days. More serious complaints will be sent to the safeguard officer at the PMU to be resolved in 14 days. Any unresolved grievances will be forwarded to the Grievance Redress Committee GRC. Complaints and grievances which are not addressed by Grievance Redress committee (GRC) within 30 days will be sent to the Program


27

Steering Committee (SC) to be resolved within 7 days. Despite the project GRM, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage.

2. Discussion on activities for DMA System, Question and Answer: DMA – 5 is another critical

area of DMA system. Because of - this is the area where both Urban and Rural area exist here. There’s only one main road. Most Roads are semi pacca or Kancha. Mostly under developed area and mixed people are living with mixed culture of Poor & Rich. In this meeting major discussion s were question and answer. The NGO representative seeks support from the community people and the local leaders to solve all kinds of problem if any arose. The audience responded that the project personnel should also to take quick action resolving casualties. The followings are the concise of the discussion; FSL Representative: Engineer Rubel Hossain delivered his speech by briefing the construction procedure concisely about Road Cutting Method, Backfilling, House connection and other pros and corn of the construction work. He addressed some key points; a) Keeping Sufficient Pressure round the clock with Adequate Water Supply. b) Reducing water losses from 40% to 15% c) Establishing Spaghetti Chamber for distance houses d) Locate Meters 2 feet down from the floor e) Illegal Connections would not be existed. f) Broken, Nonfunctional and Older meters will be replaced by a newer one. g) All costs will be borne by the Project. h) Executing Construction works mostly open cut. i) Ensure water supply during construction by using DWASA water tank. j) Establishing a complain center.

Social Safeguard officer PMU: Mr. Tofazzal Hossain SG Officer raises some issues on social and environmental aspect. He informed the followings; Executing works with the HDD machine, sound pollution could be caused children, patients and old ages people and you should be careful about it. a) Soil dust will be produced in the construction site and you should monitor to remove the

wastage soil immediately after the trench cut. b) Contractors should arrange way to easy access for the people entering into the houses. c) Ensure safeguard compliance. MSC Representative: MSC Representative informed the followings; a) Ensuring Compensation for the vendors/hawkers if affected. b) Ensure compensation for the affected people if Grievance raised c) Ensure Female Participation of the labor involved. Question and Answer: NGO Representative seeks support from the house owner for message dissemination and awareness rising campaign during pre construction period, construction period and during commissioning. After the briefing session the representative of the Union parishad and the participants raised the following questions; a) How much time water supply interrupted during Construction? b) Who will be responsible to repair the roads? c) In some cases there are some differences of pipe diameter in the demand note and billing

papers – the question is which diameter will be accepted? d) How the bills of old and new meter be adjusted? e) How much time to take getting a new connection? f) After completion of the construction work if any problem arose then how it will be solved?


28

The technical persons of the meeting like SAE, SGO DWASA and Contractor Personnel replied the questions as follows; a) Water Supply will not stop during construction work. After completion of the construction works

both new and old pipeline will be under operation up to 7 seven days and when all house connection will be established the old connection will be stopped.

b) We compensate the right authority of the roads before starting the construction works will be responsible repairing the roads like City Corporation or LGED.

c) Surely the diameter written in the demand note will be ensured establishing house connection. If anybody missed the demand note then he/she must collect the duplicate copies from the MOD’s Zone – 6.

d) Existing bill of old meter and running bill of new meter will be adjusted and in this cases it will be happened in presence of 5 responsible persons of Contractor and WASA.

e) This will take hardly within 3 (Three) working days. f) Dhaka WASA is the sole responsible solving any problem but if the problem occurred within

one year the contractor people will solve the problem because they must stay in the field one year after the completion of the construction work.

3. Opinion of the participants: The participants were asked to show their interest and opinion from new

system of the project. Most of the participants informed that the area is much more troublesome than that of other area because this not fully rural or urban area. The new system is much better than that of the previous system we heard in this meeting. We have suffered with water crisis in this area from the very beginning. If the matter is true then it will be a dream for us. Most of the households erected building here unplanned way and very difficult having access to available water supply system. We are hopeful to have access to nonstop water supply system fulfilling our dream. The Chairman of this Union Parishad welcomed the Project Authority to establish this type of modern water supply system in his jurisdiction. He also called the residents of the area to come forward in support of the project.

4. AOB: As there was no more issue to discuss, the meeting closed with vote of thanks.

We have suffered with water crisis in this area from the very beginning. We haven’t had sufficient and safe water during day time. In the midnight usually we get water though it is not qualitative. Mostly we get water from WASA is dirty; odor and polluted water. We are bound to use the dirty water because we haven’t alternative water sources of safe water. If the project is better than that of previous water then it will ensure our betterment. We are hopeful to have access to nonstop water supply system fulfilling our demand of safe water. Most of the representatives of the meeting appreciated this initiative and welcomed the Project Authority to establish this type of modern water supply system in this area. They also give commitment to the project authority for their all out assistance & support for the successful implementation of the construction works.

Executive summary

The objective of Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project (DESWSP) is to

provide a reliable water supply for the Dhaka city by developing a surface water treatment plant

and distribution network to improve quality water supply, water pressure in the pipelines, cost

recovery, reduce water loss and gradual ground water depleting in Dhaka city.

The DESWSP is to be delivered through several contract packages by several consultants,

contractors and NGOs under DWASA’s Project Management Unit (PMU). Mott MacDonald is responsible for the three main construction contracts through their Management, Design and

Supervision Consultancy (MDSC) contract. Under MDSC, Mott MacDonald is acting as the

Employer’s designer for Packages 2 and 3 and as the supervision consultant for Packages 1, 2

and 3.Package 1 is to be let as a Design, Build & Operate (DBO) contract. Package 2 (P2)

comprises of 14 km. Treated Water Pipeline from Water Treatment Plant to Madani Avenue.

Packages 3 (P3) includes Distribution Reinforce Pipeline in North Dhaka City.

The total length of the alignment is approximately 36 kilometres. This starts from the Meghna

River and passes through Ariahazar and Rupganj upazila and reaches Madani Avenue in Dhaka

after crossing Sitalakhya and Balu rivers. This project will use 294 acres of land of which Dhaka

WASA owns 82 acres (in Gandhabpur) and Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) with

Roads and Highways own another 24 acres. The rest of the land (188 acres) is privately owned.

Issues of involuntary resettlement are addressed according to National Legislation (Government

of Bangladesh Acquisition of immovable Property Ordinance, 1982), and ADB Safeguard Policy

Statement (SPS), 2009, and DWASA Policy. A Resettlement Framework (RF) was developed for

DESWSP to provide the mechanism through which the Executing Agency (EA) is updating

Resettlement Plans (RP) for each of the sections of P1 and P2.

Scope of land acquisition and resettlement impacts has already been identified based on the

preliminary design. The project will impact private and government land of different organizations

also structures, assets, crops and trees. As per preliminary design, a total area of 188 acres of

private land needs to be acquired for the construction of the water pump at the intake and for the

required pipelines.

DWASA is the EA, through the PMU will establish a monitoring system involving the Supervising

Officer (SO), Safeguard Implementation Unit (SIU) and NGO. Evaluation of the resettlement

activities will be undertaken during and after implementation of the RP. A qualified independent

monitor (External Monitoring Agency) has been engaged as third party monitor for RP

implementation.

DWASA has not established its own SIU yet to assist the PMU for managing social and

resettlement issues. DWASA with the support of MDSC relevant consultants will organize training

for PMU and NGO staff.

To carry out the resettlement activities, PMU has contracted a local NGO called DORP that

mobilized in February 2015. From that date the DORP has started/completed surveys and

information campaign to update a resettlement plans for some sections. The surveys in section 4

and 5 are yet to start as finalisation of the alignment is still awaiting.

Four committees namely Joint Verification Committee (JVC), Property Valuation Advisory

Committee (PVAC), Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) and Resettlement Advisory


346152 | 23 | A | 30 July 2017

Committee (RAC) have been formulated by the PMU for each section of RPs. The GRC will be

responsible to assist the Affected People (APs) in case of complains at project level.

The progress of work carried out by the DORP so far was very slow and unsatisfactory before

regarding quality especially in the update of the required RPs but currently they are trying to

improve the progress. Meanwhile, steps are to be taken to replace Team Leader (TL) and Deputy

Team Leader (DTL) for improving the quality in updating RPs.

Few bureaucratic inertness with regard to Land Acquisition (LA) process also hinder progress of

RP implementation.

During the next reporting period Cash Compensation under Law (CCL) and other resettlement

benefits to the EPs are expected to be completed to four sections i.e., Section1, 2, 3 and 4.

1 Background of the Monitoring Report

1.1 Project Description

This is a Semi-annual Resettlement Monitoring Report prepared for the PMU for onward

submission to ADB. The “Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project” comprises

of Water Intake, Gandharbpur Water Treatment Plant, and Raw & Treated Water Mains.

Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project (DESWSP) is to provide a reliable

water supply for the Dhaka city by developing a surface water treatment and distribution network.

(See detailed map of the full project given above) The total length of the alignment is

approximately 36 kilometres. This starts from the Meghna River and passes through Ariahazar

and Rupgonj upazilla and reaches Madani Avenue in Dhaka after crossing Sitalakhya and Balu

River. This part of the project is called P1 and P2. This project will require 294 acres of land of

which Dhaka WASA owns 82 acres in Gandharbpur and Bangladesh Water Development Board

(BWDB) with Roads and Highways owns another 24 acres. The rest are privately owned that will

need to be acquired.

A Resettlement Framework (RF) was developed for DESWSP to provide the mechanism through

which the EA will prepare Resettlement Plans (RP) for each section of the project. Issues of

involuntary resettlement will be addressed based on DWASA Policy (Resettlement Policy

Framework, 2013) following National Legislation (Government of Bangladesh Acquisition of

immovable Property Ordinance, 1982), and the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009.

Necessary Inputs to prepare the report (Semi-annual Social Safeguard Monitoring Report) were

provided by the DORP, the NGO responsible for implementation of the Resettlement Plans. The

report covers the progress made during the first half of the year 2017 and is presented according

to the format provided in the resettlement framework.

1.2 Purpose of the Report

Clause no. 18 (iii) of the Terms of Reference (ToR) of MDSC requires submission of Semi-annual

Social Safeguard Implementation Monitoring Report. Moreover, Appendix 3 of the Resettlement

Framework of the DESWSP mentioned, ‘Following requirements of the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) and the Operations Manual section on Safeguard Policy (OM F1),

borrowers/clients are required to establish and maintain procedures to monitor the status of

implementation of safeguard plans and ensure progress is made toward the desired outcomes

for projects categorized as A or B in Involuntary Resettlement and/or Indigenous People. The

borrowers/clients are required to submit semi-annual monitoring reports for ADB review.’ To comply with the requirement on behalf of the borrower (the DWASA), the MDSC is hereby

submitting the Semi-annual Social Safeguard Monitoring Report (SSSMR). This is the 2nd SSSMR

of the project RP implementation.

1.3 Category of RP

Considering the extent of significance of impacts, ADB has classified projects into four categories;

A, B, C and FI. The involuntary resettlement impacts of an ADB-supported project are considered

significant if 200 or more persons will be physically displaced from home or lose 10% or more of

their productive or income-generating assets. The project, which has significant involuntary

resettlement impacts, falls under category A. Thus, the DESWSP is classified as Category A. No


346152 | 23 | A | 30 July 2017

indigenous household has been found during the surveys; therefore, the project falls under

category C as regard to indigenous people categorization.

1.4 RP Update and Public Consultation

The NGO contracted named DORP is assisting DWASA in updating the RPs and implementation

of the resettlement activities. The DORP has so far prepared three Draft RPs for Section-1 and

Section-2 and Section-4. DORP is now conducting field census /survey in another 3 sections to

assess and verify the impacts on APs for the RP updates as well as its implementation.

Regular consultations with the affected persons (APs) and other stakeholders are being

conducted by the DORP to ensure that they are fully aware of the project interventions and about

their entitlements in case of involuntary land acquisition and resettlement benefits for APs (titled

or non-titled holders). The format to report on the consultation carried out need to be reviewed to

emphasis more on the remarks made by the participants.


346152 | 23 | A | 30 July 2017

2 Scope of Impacts

The initial Resettlement Plan for the project was prepared in 2013 and it indicated major impacts

on private land, scope of land acquisition and resettlement impacts has already been identified

based on the preliminary design. The project will impact private and government land of different

organizations also structures, assets, businesses and livelihood, crops and trees. As per

preliminary design, a total area of 188 acres of private land will need acquisition for the

construction of the intake area and the pipeline construction for package 1 and 2. See map

above.

The project area under Package 1 and 2 has been divided into six sections to update the RPs

conveniently. The sections are named as follows;

Section-1: Water Intake Area

Section-2: Water Intake to Baliapara (End of Araihazar)

Section-3: Darikhandi Chak (start of Rupganj) to Murapara via Gandharbpur WTP

Section-4: Water Treatment Plant Gandharbpur Area

Section-5: Rupganj (West bank of Sitalakhya River) to Balu River (East bank)

Section-6: Balu River (West bank) to Vatara along Madani Avenue up to Baridhara

RP Section1 & 2 require both private and government (govt.) land. No land acquisition is required

for the construction of the Water Treatment Plant as DWASA acquired a total of 82 acres of land

in Gandharbpur area in 1982-83. Besides, Dhaka WASA has signed a Memorandum of

Understanding (MoU) to receive back 2.83 ha of land from the Bangladesh Water Development

Board (BWDB) by DWASA for excavation of a canal for irrigation purpose. This arrangement has

been done under a MoU signed between DWASA and BWDB mentioned in the RP.

3 Status of RP Implementation

3.1 Update of the RPs

The DORP has been appointed in February 2015. First Draft RP for WTP was submitted to

DWASA in January 2016. The draft has since been resubmitted 5 times; last version has been

submitted on May 2017 which is being waited for ADB’s approval. Each time MDSC provided necessary feedback and detailed comments and advised them in providing full details of the

impacts, improve the accuracy of the data presentation, prepare budget based on approved

entitlement matrix and do proper editing of the document. In December 2016, the DORP

conducted a resurvey in WTP area as MDSC found out some discrepancies during field

monitoring. They also submitted a preliminary draft for the Intake area in November 2016.

DORP has submitted updated RPs twice for section-1; first draft in November 2016 and the

second version in March 2017 which has been submitted to ADB for their approval. ADB

has provided with their significant comments to review RPs for WTP and WIA. It is worth

mentioning that DORP is waiting for final approval of General Entitlement Matrix (GEM) to

be endorsed by ADB. The proposed GEM has been submitted to the Project Director (PD)

on June 2017. Once the GEM has been approved, DORP will send their comments-

responses matrices to the ADB. DORP had submitted a preliminary draft RP for Section-2 in

March 2017 without proper data and MDSC declined to make comment on that. Accordingly,

they submitted 2nd draft on May 2017 and MDSC reviewed and sent back them for editing.

Land acquisition work is in progress for Section-1: Intake area and Section-2: Intake to Baliapara.

Notice under section 7 has been served from the DC office to all Entitled Persons of Section-1 for

paying compensation money or CCL. In section 2 area all EPs got notice under section 6. Out of

them about 33% has been served notice under section 7 and the rest is expected to be served

soon to vacate the required land after receiving proper compensation and resettlement benefits.

On land acquisition matters DWASA has been following up with the DC office regularly in

Araihazar Upazila of Narayanganj District. DWASA has been keeping all communications with

the Ministry of Land on progress in land acquisition matters.

The Table 2 below provides in a nutshell the progress achieved about land acquisition and RP

preparation section wise. It shows updates on RP preparation stage, including progress on land

acquisition, data collection and planned date for submission of RPs.

3.2 Disclosure and Public Consultation

DORP has conducted thirty-five (35) consultation meetings including public consultation (21) and

FGDs (14) with the community and APs up to June 2017 in the Section 1, 2 and 4 Total 363

participants (male and female) were present at the meeting. A total of eleven (11) DORP staffs

were present at the meeting. The summary minutes of the meetings is provided in Appendix 1.

Main discussion issues were: people’s attitude towards project intervention, impacts on assets and livelihood, compensation and market price, livelihood restoration, organizations roles and

responsibilities, policy issues, etc. Key findings are noted below:

● APs and community people appreciated the project importance and requirements

● APs were upset about losing their ancestral property; but they will have no grievance if they

receive adequate compensation to buy another land with the compensation money.

● Initial brochure about the project and rights for compensation were distributed.

● List of required claim documents were provided by the DORP in the RP section 1 and 2 areas.

● Project implementation authority committed to pay fair compensation and resettlements for

lost assets and livelihood

In addition to the consultation meeting carried out during the preparation of the RPs, the approved

Entitlement Matrix will be disclosed before the APs before implementation which will start for WIA

and WTP by 17 August 2017.

The report/minutes of the consultation meetings need to be improved to address the issues /

remarks made by the participants

3.3 Payment of CCL and other Resettlement Benefits

As we see in Table 2, the compensation and rehabilitation following the approval of the updating

of RPs as well as top-up payment and resettlement benefits for land compensation has not yet

started in any of the sections. It is worth mentioning that the CCL payment will start very soon as

the notice under section 7 is being served for the RP section 1 and 2 areas. Payment of other

resettlement benefits will start after approval of the RPs by the ADB. The NGOs need to deploy

more assistance at the time of disbursing CCL.

3.4 Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)

The ministry of LGD has approved the proposal for the formation of four committees for smooth

implementation of RPs; these are Joint Verification Committee (JVC), Property Valuation Advisory

Committee (PVAC), Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) and Resettlement Advisory

Committee (RAC). These committees will be formed for each sections of RPs. Considering

present situation PMU has revised these committees and their Terms of References (ToR) and

got them approved by the ministry in June 2017.

The GRC will exclusively work for redressing grievance of the Aps. The GRC will receive,

evaluate, and facilitates the resolution of APs concerns, complaints and grievances about the

social safeguard issues linked to payment of fair compensation as per the GEM.

List of committees and their respective Terms of References (ToR) have been attached as

Appendix 2.

MDSC is monitoring the activities that are being conducted by the DORP through paying field

visits and regular meetings between PMU and DORP to share the progress. Minutes of the

meeting and field visit report are attached herewith under Appendix 3 and Appendix 4

respectively.

MDSC resettlement consultants paid field visits to understand the progress made by the DORP

on resettlement issues, project alignment and observe the overall current situation in the project

area. Discussions were conducted with field staff to get their feedback and suggestions on RP

implementation and bottlenecks if any. Key findings are as follow:

● Monthly activities reports are prepared and submitted regularly to the DORP head office by

the field staff but improvement is expected to prepare more accurate work plan and report

about the critical issues

● Documented minutes are available from May 2015. Signatures of the meetings’ participants are present. These minutes need to focus more on the opinions and remarks made by the

attendees.

● Payment of CCL is going to take place soon. DORP field officials of Araihazar Upazila are

assisting with serving notice under 7 on behalf of DC officials and they are supporting EPs as

well to get papers ready for CCL. Proper supervision is required to ensure that the DORP staff

involved are carrying their duties with highest sincerity.

● Rupganj officials are busy with conducting socio-economic survey in RP Section-3.

● DORP is now trying to recover its slow progress by deploying more people. The new staff staff

to be deploy by DORP need to ensure fast and efficient work

● MDSC International and National Resettlement Expert are regularly supervising DORPs

activities and will continue guiding them to improve the quality of survey, report and monitoring.

● DORP has conducted resurvey to collect socio-economic data for RP section 1, 2 and 4 which

were inadequate before. Now they are carrying out resurvey for RP Section 3.

● Regular assistance has been provided by MDSC to develop the MIS which is urgently needed

but the progress is very slow and lack of support from the DORP management to employ

regularly staff.

7 Follow up Actions and Recommendation

New National Resettlement Expert (NRE) has been appointed in MDSC from June 2017. She is

now taking over all charges of previous NRE. Held several meetings with DORP to expedite their

progress.

Progress of work carried out by the DORP so far is improving although still not up to satisfactory

level regarding quality and progress. Several meetings were held with DORP and PMU from time

to time where this was discussed. Immediate actions are required if the situation is to be

addressed as noted below:

● DORP has hired two Management Information and System (MIS) persons who are now

engaged in preparation of database. MDSC Resettlement Experts and Monitoring and

Evaluation (M&E) Expert is guiding them in doing proper thing.

● DORP has been asked to submit their new work plan in a realistic way start with August 2017

and onward focusing on remaining RP updates, work with the community, such as helping the

APs in getting the necessary compensation paper ready and restoring present livelihood,

utilities and social networking, etc.

● DORP should provide more pro-active service for RP Section 1 and 2 as the DC office has

been serving notice under section 7 for paying CCL.

● Separate consultation meetings with females should have been conducted to allow women to

voice their concerns on the project issues.

● Regular meeting should be scheduled between PMU (Safeguard Resettlement), DORP (TL

and DTL) and MDSC (Resettlement and M&E Experts) to review work progress.

Below is the monitoring format for activities to be done during implementation of the land

acquisition and resettlement as provided in the resettlement framework.

A. Summary of the Consultation Meetings

Key Issues of Discussion Participants Responses Project Response

Opinions regarding project intervention

Way of giving compensation by DWASA to the affected persons due to the project intervention.

Price and productivity of Land to be acquired

Land use and cropping pattern

Major livelihood activities in project area and impact on livelihood that may occur due to project intervention

Consultation meeting were held in congenial

environment and every participants

spontaneously took active participation in

discussion process. Consultation process

revealed that most of the affected persons

were found worried to lose their ancestral

land. They expressed their views that land is

their main source of livelihoods through the

generations. Nothing will compensate to the

loss of land. They became afraid as they are

going to lose their livelihood

opportunity/resource base due to land

acquisition.

They will not surrender their ancestral land, if

they will not be fairly compensated at current

market value of land. Agricultural activities

are the main livelihood means/resource

base. They grow paddy, jute, potatoes, sweet

potatoes, beans, sesame, mastered, onion

and different variety of vegetables. Besides,

different types of business enterprises

remain there. Some people work in these

business firms and in agricultural field. Some

peoples involved with fishing in nearby river.

Due to land acquisition for the project they will

have to loss income earning opportunity. On

the other hand they could not purchase

replacement land as land price is very high.

They demand fair price of their lost land at

current market price as the price of land is

very high. Without full compensation at

current market price, they will not surrender

their possession of acquired land. They

asked the authority concerned and DORP to

provide necessary services to collect

papers/documents required for getting CCL

without any intermediary or middlemen

interference.

They requested the project authority to

provide sufficient compensation immediately

for restoration of their livelihood.

However, They shown positive attitudes

towards project.

The project will take necessary

mitigation measure to compensate their

lost assets in accordance with ADB’s social safeguard policy Statement. All

kinds of technical and administrative

support will be provided to get

compensation from DC office as well as

to get resettlement benefit from DWASA.

The project will have appropriate action

strategy to mitigate negative impact on

livelihood and income of affected

populations. To restore livelihood and

income at least at the pre-project level is

the main policy principles of resettlement

plan. Detailed resettlement and

rehabilitation plan is being prepared in

accordance with Acquisition and

Requisition of Immovable Property

Ordinance (ARIPO), 1982 and

Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS-2009)

of ADB. According to SPS-2009, all

affected persons/AHs will be fairly

compensated at current market rate for

assets lost due to the project

intervention.

As per guidelines of ADB, the DWASA

prepared resettlement plan to restore

livelihood and income of affected

persons. All AHs will be compensated for

their lost at current market value of

assets. The project will brings more

income and employment opportunity.

Affected Persons will get priority to get

employment in project construction

works based on qualification and skill.

The DC office is ready to start land acquistion and pay the necessary compensation but the prerequisite of a finalized RP is yet to be done. The PD will advise DORP to update the RPs of Section 1 and 2 following ADB as well as MDSC comments given for WTP ( section 4) RP and submit the RPs before 25.2.17

The PMU will notify DORP to

submit final RPs for section 1, 2

and 4 by 25 February 2017.

2 Person-months used by DORP up to December 2016

2.1 MDSC social safeguard team drew attention of the PD that DORP has already consumed almost 50% of their allotted person-months so far, though outputs are very minimal in terms of completion of RP update and implementation. Both MDSC and PMU expressed their worries about the remaining works and the ability of DORP to complete all the tasks within the stipulated time.

PMU will notify DORP to

complete all the works within the

remaining person-months.

2.2 The PD and MDSC noticed that DORP has already been paid bill for Livelihood Specialist, Training Specialist and Financial Specialist (Micro Finance) though they had minimum scope to use their inputs in this period. The MDSC team commented that the Livelihood and Training Specialist are supposed to give much input during RP implementation phase. Spending 50% of their person-months during this period is impossible while the RP is yet to be finalized. The PD wondered that DORP has collected bill against Communication/Public Health Specialist inputs as well though the least input was used in this respect. The MDSC team suggested the PD not to pay DORP further against those specialists until their inputs are appropriately needed.

The PD agreed to suspend the payment to DORP but date not mentioned.

3. Involvement of EMA

3.1 The MDSC team commented that EMA has been appointed too early they should have been appointed during RP implementation. Early appointment of EMA may hamper monitoring during implementation. However, the PD replied that EMA has been appointed according to ADB advice. The PD is expecting EMA to follow the land acquisition and start reporting on semi-annual basis as per their ToR.

BA mentioned that their Inception Report has not been approved yet by the PMU.

Team Leader of EMA has agreed

on semi-annual reporting but

beforehand they need to approve

their Inception Report by the

PMU.

To The Team Leader, MDSC

From Dr. Rafeza Akter, Social Development & Gender Specialist (SDGS), MDSC

Subject Field Visit to WTP on 21 May 2017

Date 23 May 2017

With reference to the Raw Water Pipeline area in Araihazar upazila my field visit report as follows:

I was accompanied by the International Environmental Expert and Monitoring & Evaluation Expert of MDSC. In addition, Md. Badiul Alam, Sub-

Assistant Engineer (SAE), and Md. Ashraf Ali, SAE from DWASA and two Resettlement Organizers of DORP namely Md. Anisur Rahman and

Faridur Rahman were also present.

Objective of the visit was to oversee DORP’s activities that they reach affected persons’ (APs) households. To ensure that the APs (especially

female APs) are informed and aware of entitlement, compensation and proper documentation that required for getting compensation. It is worth

mentioning that the DC has served land acquisition notice section 6 in the area.

Three locations of the pipe route were visited and discussed three Affected Persons (APs) randomly. It is found that all APs know about land to

be acquired. Their relevant information are as follows:

Information of Affected Persons (APs)

Sl. No.

Name of APs Age Occupation Village Land and other relevant information Phone no.

1 Mr. Abdur Rouf 85 Unemployed (aged)

Laxmipura He has three sons working as day laborers in nearby power loom factory. He has three 3 houses in his homestead land to be acquired. He purchased this land but he does not have any mutation deed along with him. He contacted land office but the respective officer seeks BDT 25000 as bribe. He is unable to pay that much money as he is very poor.

He or his family member could not tell the cell no. Anisur Rahman from DORP are requested to collect later.

3 Parul Akter 30 Housewife Atadi She has three little girls. Her husband died nine months ago. She has 22 decimals land in joint ownership with their in-laws. Moreover, present Union Parishad (UP) Chairman and his brother has filed a case claiming ownership of 10 decimals of this land.

However, she owns 16 decimals pond area of her own which will also be acquired by the project. She needs attestation of the ownership documents from the UP office but they are not cooperating with her.

Recommendation: The resettlement NGO and relevant government officials should help the APs in preparing legal documents for getting

compensation on due time as all of them are not well known about the process.
