Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the
Modernization of the National Hydrometeorological and
Monitoring Networks
“Environmental management is an integral component of effort to reduce poverty and achieve
sustainable and equitable growth”
(Declaration of the 2000 Millennium Summit, at UN)
I. Introduction
Over the last 50 years, human activities – particularly the burning of fossil fuels – have released sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to trap additional heat in the lower atmosphere and affect the global climate. In the last 100 years, the world has warmed by approximately 0.75oC. Over the last 25 years, the rate of global warming has accelerated, at over 0.18oC per decade. Sea levels are rising, glaciers are melting and precipitation patterns are changing. Extreme weather events are becoming more intense and frequent. The global average temperatures are projected to increase between 1.4 and 5.8 oC by the end of this century; an associated rise in sea level is also expected. The number of people at risk from flooding by coastal storm surges is projected to increase from the current 75 million to 200 million in a scenario of mid-range climate changes, in which a rise in the sea level of 40 cm is envisaged by the 2080s. Extremes of the hydrologic cycle (such as floods and droughts) are projected to increase with warmer ambient temperatures. Evidence is mounting that such changes in the broad-scale climate system may already be affecting human health, including mortality and morbidity from extreme heat, cold, drought or storms; changes in air and water quality; and changes in the ecology of infectious diseases (Impact of regional Climate Change on human health (Jonathan A et al, WHO - NATURE| volume 438|17 November 2005) Yemen is one of the least developed countries, and is located in an arid/semi-arid climatic zone. The country is characterized by limited resources and weak legal and institutional frameworks. High rates of poverty among the population and the low human resources development scores augment the driving forces necessitating actions depending on a clear prioritization of environmental issues and problems. Such actions ought to be based on the various development policies and strategies formulated by the relevant government agencies. It is predominantly a rural country and 83% of Yemen’s poor live in rural areas, where agriculture and fisheries are the main sources of livelihoods. It is a low-income country, with diverse social and economic challenges and high population growth rates of 3.02% annually. Average GDP per capita increases by only 1.5% per annum. Farming and agricultural related activities remain the main source of living for most Yemenis. The coastal zone of Yemen with its rich variety of natural habitats and species is a natural hub for development in terms of fisheries, coastal settlements,
7
coastal infrastructure (including roads and port facilities), and potential for tourism, maritime trade routes and new development initiatives. Fisheries and coastal resources account for the most important source of non-oil export revenues for Yemen. The rapid development of information and sensor technology and high integration of electronics and data communication have made automation of meteorological and hydrological networks increasingly affordable and attractive to Meteorological and Hydrological Services and other users, who need real-time weather data and monitoring of water systems such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ground water. Hydrometeorological networks, typically consisting of a large number of automatic monitoring stations, telecommunication systems, databases and application software for the users, are installed in a wide geographical area, often in remote locations. Capable of surviving harsh weather conditions, they provide valuable information on a large variety of weather parameters, precipitation, water quality and existing water reserves helping the authorities to make right and on-time decisions (Hannu Kokko Vaisala Oyj, Helsinki, Finland Integrated Hydrometeorological Monitoring Solutions and Network Management 2005).
II. Background
Due to its high vulnerability to climate change, Yemen was chosen as one of the pilot countries under the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR). The objective of the PPCR is to provide incentives for scaled-up action and transformational change through pilot projects that demonstrate how to integrate climate risk and resilience into core development planning, while complementing other ongoing development activities in a given country. The PPCR will be country-led, and will enable pilot countries to transform country-specific plans and investment programs in order to address climate risks and vulnerabilities, building on National Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPAs) and other relevant country studies and strategies. Substantial programmatic resources will then be made available to help fund the newly identified public and private sector investments. The long term annual mean weather elements as described by the Civil Aviation and Meteorological Authority (CAMA) are in Annex 9.
The PPCR process will have two phases: Phase I will prepare the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR), and Phase II will implement priority interventions identified under Phase I. Through a series of consultations with various stakeholders, including different line ministries and agencies of the Government of Yemen (GoY), development partners, and civil society, the Yemen-PPCR team developed the Phase I proposal, which has been approved by the PPCR Sub-Committee, the oversight entity for the PPCR. In Yemen, the PPCR process will concentrate on addressing the following four pillars under Phase I: (I) climate change information system and awareness raising related to climate resilience; (II) mainstreaming climate change resilience into core national development planning and capacity building; (III) developing the SPCR; and (IV) strengthening the Technical Secretariat (TS)/Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and Program Coordination Unit (PCU) to facilitate implementation of the PPCR. Based on several consultations with national stakeholders, civil society and development partners, four main areas of interventions have been identified under the Phase II of the PPCR program and the Climate Info System & PPCR Coordination Project is one of the four interventions proposed.

III. The Project
The project would consist of the following four components:
o Component A: Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building o Component B: Modernization and Expansion of the National Hydrometeorological
and Monitoring Networks o Component C: Enhancement of Service Delivery System o Component D: PPCR Program Management and Knowledge Sharing
Component A. Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building: This component aims to improve climate resilience in Yemen through provision of weather, climate and water services that meet stakeholders’ needs by creating the conditions that ensure institutional, staffing and financial sustainability of the key providers. The activities of this component will be provided in the form of consulting and non-consulting services. Component B. Modernization of the National Hydrometeorological and Monitoring
Networks: This component aims to upgrade and expand the meteorological observations networks for meteorology, agro-meteorology and hydro-meteorology, ensuring that these networks are well functioning and interoperable between CAMA/YMS, MAI, NWRA and the development authorities (e.g., TDA, NHDA, ERDA) to ensure the efficient and timely transmission of information that is essential for management of disaster risks, agriculture and water resources. Collection and timely communication of high-quality data is the foundation of producing reliable weather forecasts and warnings as well as monthly and longer-term climate outlooks. This component will also contribute to the development of a pilot environmental monitoring system. The bulk of the activities in this component include procurement and installation of goods such as monitoring equipment and ICT. There are three subcomponents: (i) Subcomponent B.1 – Technical modernization of the observing networks, which includes:
(1.1) Rehabilitation and extension of the MAI agro-meteorological observing network; (1.2) Extending the weather and climate surface observing network for CAMA/YMS; (1.3) Replacement, rehabilitation and expansion of NWRA hydrometeorological network; (1.4) Delivery and installation of a Doppler weather radar to improve the monitoring and forecasting of high impact events associated with heavy precipitation and other weather related hazards including a) equipment and b) works; (1.5) Installing up to three upper air stations measuring profiles of temperature, humidity and wind speed and direction including a) equipment and b) works; (1.6) Upgrading of the CAMA/YMS calibration facilities including a) stationary laboratory for the use of all network operators and b) mobile calibration laboratory mostly supporting the operation of the CAMA/YMS weather and climate observing network; and (1.7) Installing marine observing stations in locations to be identified by CAMA/YMS in coordination with the Technical Committee.
9
(ii) Subcomponent B.2 – Modernization of the communication and ICT system, which includes: (2.1) Updating communication equipment of all observing networks (CAMA/YMS, MAI, NWRA and EPA); (2.2) Assessing and strengthening the national data management system, including archiving and data rescue; and (2.3) Upgrading operational satellite receiving systems for forecasting and mapping applications.
(iii) Subcomponent B.3 Design and pilot operation of an environmental monitoring system, which includes. (3.1) Developing a needs assessment and design of air quality monitoring networks; and (3.2) Piloting an operational air quality monitoring network.
Subcomponent B.1 will support the technical modernization of the networks. Extensive consultation with CAMA/YMS, MAI and NWRA was undertaken to determine the current status of the meteorological, agrometeorological and hydrometeorological networks, monitoring methods, transmission of observations, data processing, data archiving and delivery of services. Overall the CAMA/YMS network is in good shape for its primary mission to support civil aviation and there are very few issues with data transmission and communication. However, this network needs to be expanded to cover the entire country and to provide services to all sectors and the population. In contrast, the operational status of MAI and NWRA networks is much less clear in part because the overall irrigation and water management system is fragmented making it difficult for organizations to maintain central control over their networks, part of which are implemented by the regional development authorities. Many of the stations listed as operational by MAI and NWRA are in fact not reporting data and the status of the equipment is uncertain. Providing warnings of flash floods and creating a high-resolution climatology of precipitation requires the introduction of technologies such as radar, which are now in routine use by many National Meteorological Services (NMSs). Support for one Doppler radar is proposed, which will require it to be located optimally to provide nowcasting support for extreme rainfall events in high-risk areas as well as support routine forecasting services covering populated areas. CAMA/YMS have identified Dhamar Meteorological Station as the intended site for the radar. Coverage of the entire country would require more radar and this should be considered in future programs. The radar specifications will be determined during the initial phase of the program in consultation with the General Consultant/Systems Integrator and other radar experts as required. In general, S band has the bigger range coverage both in reflectivity (460km) and velocity (230 km). The radar should be a complete, fully coherent, Doppler weather radar consisting of a transmitter, receiver, antenna and servo system, signal processor, radar monitoring system, product generation and display system, power system and accessories. The system should integrate into the existing CAMA/YMS forecasting and warning system. Hydrologic applications are the main goal of the radars, thus specific robust and mature algorithms that have proven skills over complex terrain are needed. The radars algorithms should provide derived products for severe weather, automatic alert, rainfall accumulation for 1h, 3h, 24 h. Detection and analysis of weak signals is necessary for outflows, boundaries and other structures in the layers near the surface and superior clutter suppression ability is needed for intensive rainfall episodes. High frequency stability is needed for detection of large rainstorms, cyclones and strong convective precipitation while also detecting the weak dispersion signals
10
from low level wind shear and dry downbursts in clear air-mode is necessary for aviation purposes. The radar should give the forecaster the possibility to adjust the volume coverage patterns to the current type of weather, to cover the observation volume effectively and overcome the range/ velocity ambiguity problems. It should ensure high data accuracy and reliability through the use of accurate on-line calibration, built-in test and monitoring functions, and data quality control algorithms. Upper air measurements (vertical profiles of temperature, humidity and wind) are essential to initialize models at global scales and to support the forecasters analysis particularly for aviation operations. By providing upper air data on through the WMO GTS, global numerical weather prediction models on which CAMA/YMS depend for their operational forecasts will improve over the Southern Arabian Peninsula. CAMA/YMS calibration facility is sufficient for its current needs, but will need to be expanded to include the capability to provide support to all of the meteorological and hydrological stations in the future CAMA/YMS, MAI, NWRA’s network of networks. Mobile facilities are required to calibrate sensors in the field to minimize disruption of the network. CAMA/YMS is mandated to provide marine observations. The program will refurbish existing stations. Component C. Enhancement of Service Delivery System: This component aims to enhance the delivery of services. This is a key program component that provides for the implementation of a systematic upgrade of the weather, climate and water-related end-to-end services provided to all agencies, communities and individuals (See below). Goods and consulting services will be procured under this component. Component D: PPCR Program Management and Knowledge Sharing. This component will carry out the oversight of the PPCR implementation, including synthesizing the main results achieved by the investments under the SPCR1, monitoring gender sensitive approaches to project implementation, knowledge management, information sharing, public education and outreach activities geared towards improving information access and awareness rising of the challenges caused by climate. It will support the purchase of equipment, software, and technologies and will provide consultancy services to support investment and incremental operational costs of program management including that of consulting staff and training housed in the PPCR-PCU established in the EPA. There are three subcomponents mostly based on provision of consulting services:
1 The Yemen PPCR investments are: I) Climate Information System and PPCR Program Coordination (this Project); II) Pilot Scheme to Improve the Resilience of Rural Communities to Climate Change in Yemen (IRRCCC); and III) Climate-Resilient Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

IV. Objective of the ESMP
The purpose of an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is to assess the potential environmental and social impacts including gender aspects of the Climate Information System and PPCR Coordination Project. Minor impacts are expected especially for the activities under the Component B1 such as installation of monitoring equipment and Doppler weather Radar, and upgrading marine observations. This study will address potential impacts of different alternatives and propose relevant mitigation measures and strategies. The study will establish clear directives and methodologies for the evaluation of activities to be financed by the project including site selection criteria. The study will culminate in an ESMP to ensure that all activities financed under the project are in compliance with the World Bank’s safeguard policies. The output of this consultancy is intended to help ensure that the proposed project will be environmentally and socially sound and sustainable. The (ESMP) is developed with the objective of liquidation of possible adverse environmental and social consequences, their neutralization or reduction to comprehensible level at installation, and operation.
V. The Environment and Socio-cultural Environment
Before addressing the environmental issues of Yemen and the socio-cultural environment it is important to note that Yemen still lacks an integrated system of environmental statistics. Policy makers need environmental information to prioritize problems and take necessary actions. There are a number of constraints to effective policy making, planning and environmental management in Yemen. First constraint is the lack of reliable and timely information on the impact of human activities on the environment and natural resources, and simultaneously, the outcome of the environmental degradation and irrational use of natural resources on the processes of impoverishment and the sustainable development of Yemen at large. The second constraint is improper management of available data and information as a result of a complex of factors including, but not limited to, the lack of financial resources, trained workforce, awareness and availability of information and/or institutional setup. Other constraints related to the lack of the processes of environmental information collection, production, and dissemination is evident in Yemen. Furthermore, the monitoring organizations do not feed their results into a common information system; and there is an absence of a comprehensive methodological environmental information system based on quantitative statistical data. Environment
During the past two decades the Government of Yemen (GoY) had increasingly given interest in improving management and development of the environment and the country’s natural resources. Prioritization of environmental issues proved to be of vital importance since 1995. With the contribution of all stakeholders (Government line ministries and their branches in the governorates, authorities of relevant sectors, private sector representatives, local CBOs, NGOsand academicians), the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) launched the first National Environmental Action Plan (NEAP I) in 1995. Six years later NEAP II was similarly orchestrated by EPA. The Environment Protection Law (EPL) number 26 was issued in October 1995. Several policy papers and documents on the environment were subsequently presented at
12
the local, regional and international fora. In 2006 the EPA produced the NSES as a major strategic document establishing the outline for programs of action to mitigate adverse environmental impacts. The NSES identified the following driving forces and pressures on the environment of Yemen namely, agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing and mining, enegy, transportation, tourism, abd urbanization.
Land tenure issues arise in the particular geographic, economic and social contexts of the country concerned, and they can be understood only within those contexts. It is confirmed that this project will not trigger OP4.12 as site visits confirmed that all the potential project sites (Mokha, Aden, Mukalla, and Dhamar) belong to CAMA/YMS and there is no economic activities going on in those areas. As to the project locations for the rest of monitoring networks, site selection criteria has been prepared in order to make sure locations would be on government owned land. Socio-economic Context
The population of Yemen numbers almost 23 million. The country has one of the highest birth rates in the region, and the population has in recent years grown at 3.1 percent annually. The population is young, with two-thirds under the age of 25 and one in five persons between 15 and 24 years of age. Over 75 percent of the population is rural, and over 95 percent of the rural population is engaged in agriculture.2 Few households survive solely on income from agriculture. Poverty too is largely rural. When last measured in 1998, it was widespread (over 40 percent of the rural population lived on less than a dollar a day), and food poverty almost doubled from 9 percent to 17.5 percent between 1992 and 1998. Yemen is in fact the poorest country in the region. Yemen’s GNI per capita is US$521, compared to US$2,390 in the MENA Region and the GDP growth rate has steadily been falling. While Yemen is an oil producer, and oil revenues have driven the development of some large-scale agricultural production, the country is the smallest oil producer in the region. Oil revenue accounts for an estimated 70 percent of government revenue, but the country’s known reserves are projected to be reduced by 2012. Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the Arab region facing multiple challenges and crisis. Recently it witnessed a decline in the humanitarian and livelihood conditions, due to natural and human-made disasters, including armed-conflict and political unrest. The economy is dominated by the oil sector, which covers 27% of the Gross Domestic Product and 70% of export revenues. More than half of the population is below 15 years of age. Based on the poverty update (Dr. Heba El-Laythy Annex 6 of the 4th Development Plan for Poverty Reduction, July 2011); the proportion of the poor increased according to the 2010 food poverty line (extreme poverty) from 12.46% to 16.15% or about 30% compared to UNDP/World Bank/Government of Yemen, Poverty Assessment for 2005-2006. Both the poverty gap and severity also increased by a more accelerated rate than that of the proportion of the poor. This means that the poor have become poorer in the period 2006-2010 in terms of the food poverty line. While people living below the lower poverty line has slightly decline from 40.09% (2005/06) to 38.59% (2010), the poverty

update indicated that prices of basic commodities and services increases to 15% as was the case in 2011 due to political unrest in Yemen, the lower poverty line can get worse to level beyond that of 1998, which is 42.5%. Unemployment is estimated at 52.9% and 44.4% among the 15-24 and 25-59 age groups respectively. Unemployment is fairly broad, cutting across urban and rural areas and was much exacerbated by the political unrest of 2011. According to the preliminary results of WFP Comprehensive Food Insecurity Survey, approximately 5 million of the population is food insecure. Although population growth rate has slightly decline 2.9 % (2010), it is still considered to be among the highest in the World and any annually adds additional new mouths to feed and new labor force seeking for employment opportunities, which does not match with economic growth estimated at negative as much as 20% in 2011.
Agriculture
Agriculture plays an important role in the economy, generating more than 15 percent of GDP since 1990 (20.4 percent in 2005 according to the Central Bank of Yemen) and employing more than half (54.2 percent in 2003) of the working population. Numerous environmental problems hamper growth in this sector—soil erosion, sand dune encroachment, and deforestation—but the greatest problem by far is the scarcity of water. Yemen is an arid country, and there are no permanent watercourses. Annual precipitation ranges from about 5 inches in the highlands, 15-20 inches in the lower highlands, and the 15-20 inches in the middle highlands. Throughout Yemen, precipitation is erratic and variable from year to year, and lengthy droughts occur. As a result of low levels of rainfall, agriculture in Yemen relies heavily on the extraction of groundwater, a resource that is being depleted. Yemen’s water tables are falling by approximately two meters a year. The use of irrigation has made fruit and vegetables Yemen’s primary cash crops, together with qat. Qat is a mildly narcotic and heavily cultivated plant that produces natural stimulants when its leaves are chewed. It plays a dominant role in the agricultural economy, constituting 10 percent of GDP and employing an estimated 150,000 persons while consuming an estimated 30 percent of irrigation water and displacing land areas that could otherwise be used for grains, coffee, fruits, and vegetables. Between 2000 and 2004, the growth rate for the agricultural sector for agriculture and fisheries (excluding qat) averaged a relatively stable 4 percent per annum; the growth rate for qat averaged between 15 and 20 percent per annum for the same period. The contribution of agriculture to the GDP has been steadily declining, and is currently estimated at between 16 and 20 per cent. Today, due to pressure on access to natural resources (most critically groundwater and land), few rural households can survive on agriculture alone. Subsistence agriculture has grown more tenuous, and there is considerable rural underemployment, though modest new employment opportunities are being provided by the qat sector. Most households cope by diversifying their income sources, largely through integration of urban and rural livelihoods. There is substantial labor migration from the rural areas, both permanent and seasonal, including migration to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Coastal Physical Environment
14
Yemen coast is characterized by a narrow coastal plain between the Gulf of Aden and the mountain range that parallels the shoreline. This coastal plain interspersed with volcanic intrusions right to the sea shore extending along the Gulf of Aden. The land rises steeply inland from the coastal plain to elevations of several thousand meters in the western part of the country. This range averages 1,070 m in height and influences the local weather, especially wind. Further east, towards Omani border, the elevations are not as great. Gulf of Aden is bounded on the north by the Yemeni coastline, and on the south it is bounded by the Somali Peninsula. The Yemeni coastal line along Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea is approximately 1400 km long, extending from Bab el Mandab at the west to Ras Darbat Ali at the east. The landmasses surrounding the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea are characterized by hot and dry climates with little vegetation. Strong winds blowing across these areas often carry sand and dust. Coastal Geomorphology
The Gulf of Aden is a young ocean basin formed by the rifting of Asia (Arabia) from Africa (Somalia) (Girdler et al., 1980). It has a well-defined continental margin, small oceanic basin, and an active mid-ocean ridge (Sheba Ridge) in the center, characterized by a rift valley and fracture zones (Matthews et al., 1967; Bosworth et al., 2005). The rifting of the Arabian Peninsula was accompanied by violent movements in the earth’s crust, creating one of the world’s largest volcanic zones along the western and southern borders of the Arabian Peninsula. The Gulf of Aden coastline is characterized by sedimentary strata interbreeds of limestone, sandstone and shale with volcanic intrusions and extrusions. The old sedimentary strata are primarily marine sediments of Jurassic and Cretaceous periods (Mesozoic), whereas the coastal plains are often more recent alluvial and marine sediments (Al-Hubaishi et al., 1984). Most of the coastline exhibits signs of block faulting, raised beaches, pediments, wadi mouths, headlands, escarpments and dunes. Volcanic pyroclastics (fragmented material from explosive volcanic processes) from some shore areas are sometimes complex because they exhibit raised beaches with wave cut platforms and pediments, erosional features common to deserts. Most geo-morphological (tectonic, erosional and depositional) events, which have formed the present day coastline, took place in relatively recent, geological time, primarily during the quaternary period of the Cenozoic Era. The quaternary period and Pleistocene epoch are coincidental, occurring within the past three million years (before present). The Pleistocene epoch covers the time of most recent glacial and interglacial activity Fisheries Yemen’s 2,520km coastline extends from Saudi Arabia in the northwest to Oman in the east and is divided between the red Sea (650km), Gulf of Aden (1,550km) and Socotra Archipelago (320km). The 552,669km2 Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) includes some of the most productive waters and richest marine resources in the world as well as a variety of important ecosystems such as upwelling, coral reefs and mangroves supporting around 65 commercially important species including invertebrates (shrimp, lobsters, cuttlefish, sea cucumbers), pelagic (Yellowfin and longtail tuna, kingfish, Indian mackerel, Indian oil sardines) and demersal species (groupers, emperors, jacks, threadfin bream). The major environmental influence on the productivity of Yemen’s fisheries resources is the Indian Ocean monsoon system, in particular
15
the south-west monsoon which blows from May-September. This results in a strong upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich waters in the Gulf of Aden, feeding in also to southern parts of the Red Sea, creating levels of primary productivity which are amongst the highest in the world and enhancing the availability of food throughout the food-web. The most productive waters are to the east of Mukalla on the Gulf of Aden.
Figure 1: Global primary productivity – June 1998. Lighter areas indicate the highest levels of ecosystem productivity. (Source: http://www.seaaroundus.org/primaryproduction/interpolation_method.htm)
As a result of the extraordinary levels of productivity and a long fishing tradition, fisheries is of major importance to the Yemeni economy and is consistently identified as a key sector in Government economic development and poverty reduction strategies. After oil, fisheries constitutes Yemen’s main source of export earnings and is major source of employment, income and food security throughout the coastal zone. Yemen accounts for more than 50% of both fish production and exports in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region. In total the fishing industry supports the livelihoods of an estimated 88,750 artisanal fishers and approximately 500,000 of their household members. The number of artisanal fishers has increased rapidly, at an average of 7.5% per annum over the past two decades, resulting in significant increases in production during the 1990s and mid-2000s to an estimated 247-264,000t per year3 today with an ex-vessel value of USD 617.5–660 million4. Artisanal fishers operate approximately 19,500 fishing boats and account for well over 90% of total production despite the presence of both licensed and illegal foreign trawlers in Yemeni waters. The Yemen Central Bank estimated that fisheries exports were worth USD 245.3 million in 2008, a 25% increase from the previous year.

Source: IFAD pre-formulation and formulation mission Nov. 2009 While official MFW figures estimate total fisheries production in 2008 at 132,062t, a collapse of 124,328t from its official peak of 256,300t in 2004, these figures, both peak and trough, are likely to be inaccurate as a result of logistical difficulties in collection, poor auction management including not weighing most of the fish sold, and deliberate misreporting of catches in order to avoid payment of a 3% levy on the value of catches introduced by the Government in 2004. Unfortunately over the past two decades there has been a serious lack of appropriate management of fisheries resources in Yemen such as effort control or enforcement of regulations due to lack of funding, lengthy and complex court procedures required to prosecute violations and a lack of awareness of the importance of proper management. This has resulted in damage to the resource base jeopardising its potential to contribute to future economic growth. As illustrated by the above figures the expansion of the fisheries sector in Yemen has been permitted to continue as though the productivity of the fisheries resources is unlimited, as opposed to subject to very real biologically and environmentally determined constraints. The increasing number of fishers has been encouraged as part of the government’s poverty reduction strategy. Furthermore there has been no thorough stock assessment in Yemeni waters since the 1970s and 1980s and there is a general lack of accurate data on the entire sector meaning there is no information available to inform the development of fisheries management measures.

Amongst all those involved in the fisheries private sector, from fishers to exporters, unanimity was expressed on the urgency with which fisheries management needs to be improved. The total catch is declining, particularly of high value species (cuttlefish, tuna and shrimp) and dramatic declines in the catch of some species have been experienced (lobster in particular). Total production figures are being maintained only by increasing fishing effort, fishing far outside the Yemeni EEZ, in the waters of neighbouring countries, and engaging in illegal and destructive fishing practices in an effort to sustain incomes. Reports were also received of declining average sizes of specimens caught which is another important indicator that overfishing is taking place. In the past cuttlefish of up to 12kg were not uncommon, now 4kg is considered large. Overfishing also affects marketing of the remaining stocks – average sizes of shrimp are reducing the quantities suitable for export to high value markets where large sizes are demanded. No major stock assessment has been conducted in Yemen’s waters since the 1970s and 1980s. A summary of regional stock assessments and potential yields estimated during the 1970s and 1980s was published by the FAO in 1989 (Sander & Morgan 1989) and another by PERSGA in 2004. Many species such as large pelagic fishes including kingfish and barracuda in Yemen have never been assessed or researched at all.
Vulnerability
Yemen can be classified as a system with moderate stress. It is highly vulnerable and attributed by low capacities. Yemen experiences relatively low environmental stress, but have very weak institutional capacity, and the country is in particular vulnerable to natural disasters, under nourishment, and lack of sanitation and safe water supply.Yemen has moderate attempts to reduce stresses, particularly those driven by population. This is not a promising sign although the situation is expected to improve with the interventions of the project. The environmental health is not good. Also signs for basic human sustenance, are not positive. Climate
The climate varies with elevation. The coast is hot and humid throughout the year. The central highlands, with villages at 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), experience an average annual high temperature of 70°F (21°C). Average Daily Temperatures in January: 13.9°C/57°F; in July: 21.7°C/71°F.The climate in Yemen is mostly dessert. Although it is hot and humid along the coastal sections, Yemen has an extraordinarily hot, dry and harsh desert in the east. Yemen is temperate in the western mountains which are affected by seasonal monsoons. Monsoon rains may occur from April to August and from November to January. Rainfall is scarce in the coastal desert regions, but runoff from higher elevations and a series of small dams and channels help support some crops. Mountainsides in the arable highlands are terraced to increase the area suitable for cultivation. Forests once covered the highlands, but overgrazing and logging have almost eliminated them. Excluding its coastal waters, Yemen has no permanent body of open water.
18
The average annual rainfall in Yemen is 508mm/20”. “Precipitation in Yemen is strongly influenced by relief and consequently varies considerably from place to place. Meteorological observations were made by J. E. Hasen, engineer, and Dr. Carlo Toffolon, then personal physician to the Imam, at Sana’a and Ta’izz, from 1942 to 1944. According to their observations at Ta’izz, the number of rains ranges from 90 to 160 per year, and annual precipitation ranges from 450 to 700 millimeters. Rainfall may exceed 50mm in a single torrential shower. Two rainy periods are distinguished at Ta’izz: (1) the most important period, in which precipitation may exceed 600mm, extends from April to May, or in some years, to June, and (2) a shorter period in which rain falls mostly during August and September. West winds predominate during the rainy seasons. At Sana’a annual precipitation ranges from 200 to 500 mm (60 to 90 showers) and also falls largely within two periods: (1) April to May and (2), the most important, from the later part of July through the first half of August. Clouds generally gather on the west slopes of the main massifs and cause very heavy rainfall which accounts for the erosive actions of the wadis, and the number of local springs. The greatest rainfall occurs in the south, central and western highlands and feeds innumerable wadis which, like the terraced mountainsides, are heavily cultivated. A short monsoon in April and May alternates with a heavier monsoon in July and August, but the remainder of the years features sunny days.
VI. Project Locations and potential impacts
Land tenure issues arise in the particular geographic, economic and social contexts of the country concerned, and they can be understood only within those contexts. It is confirmed that this project will not trigger OP4.12 as site visits confirmed that all the potential project sites (Mokha, Aden, Mukalla, and Dhamar) belong to CAMA/YMS and there is no economic activities going on in those areas. As to the project locations for the rest of monitoring networks, negative checklist (site selection criteria) has been prepared in order to make sure locations would be on government owned land. The present meteorological stations both manual and automatic stations belonging to the MAI are spread in agricultural areas in different governorates. Many of the stations comprise simple equipment like rain gauge buckets, and different wadi flow and weather measuring devices. Such equipment were run by the x- Groundwater and Soil Conservation project (GSCP) until the end of 2012. The GSCP handed the stations to the Rain-fed Agriculture and Livestock Project (RALP) and the National Irrigation Project (NIP). The Tihama Development Authority (TDA) operates several rainfall and weather stations. Annex (2) shows the locations of automatic rainfall stations in Hadhramut. Annex (3) shows a list of the hydro –meteorological stations in Taiz, Ibb, AdDhale, Lahej and Abyan. Annex (4) shows the stations the automatic rainfall stations, complete weather stations, manual rain gauge and wadi flow stations. Annex (5) shows the manual rainfall stations operated by the Central Water Monitoring Unit (CWMU) of the Irrigation Sector at MAI. The AREA operates a weather station in its HQ in Dhamar, and another one in its branch center in Seiyun. The station of AREA in El-Kod was completely destroyed and looted in Abyan by terrorists in 2011. Annex (6) shows the stations operated by TDA. Stations of NWRA are shown in annex (7). Given the short period for the consultancy, it was difficult to visit all of these stations. It is noteworthy that many of these stations were lost during the past
19
two years because of the violent events in the country. Collection of data is irregular and some
stations are no more functionalmainly due to lack of OM allocations.
CAMA/YMS has several meteorological stations. The following illustrative figure shows approximate locations of these stations. Annex (7) shows the exact co-ordinates for these meteorological stations.The Consultant managed to visit the sites of the Doppler weather radar Station in Dhamar and the marine stations in Mukalla, Mokha, and Aden.

CAMA /YMS sites
The Marine Stations
Mukalla marine station
CAMA/YMS has a simple standard design for its meteorological stations consisting of an observation tower on top of 2-3 rooms with facilities for staff on duty since working hours extend for the whole day. The Mukalla marine station was constructed 7 years ago on a rocky beach. The station is of a typical CAMA/YMS design. It is located inside a small military camp. The failure of the contractor to install the equipment forced CAMA to shift the equipment to its station at Mukalla airport. The site of the marine station at Mukalla is not subjected to interference from other obstacles that could affect readings. The rocks at the foot of the fence of the building help reduce any expected impact of strong waves even during the SW monsoon. There is no adverse impact on the intertidal fauna or flora as the sensors cable is narrow. There is no construction waste left near the station. CAMA is intending to open a bypass entrance leading to the station building without going through the military camp in order to ease access to the station.

The second marine station of CAMA/YMS will be in Aden (at the present site of Gulf of Aden Ports Authority) and at Al Mokha Port. During the visit of the consultant, the part of the marine station on the roof of the Harbor Master’s Office was not functioning. However, the site itself is suitable and has no adverse environmental impacts and is not affected by ships movement in the harbor area. Mokha Marine Station
The third marine station of CAMA/YMS will be in Mokhaand it was confirmed that this is an existing observation station and upgrading has no adverse environmental impacts and is not affected by ships movement in the harbor area. It is worth mentioning that the modernization and upgrading of all the stations will be on the
present sites.

Dhamar site – photo(4) Fence of the meteorological station
The CAMA/YMS monitoring station in Dhamar where Doppler Weather Radar is going to be installed is shown in photo (3) above. It is situated inside a brick fenced 30,800 sq m area belonging to CAMA (photo4). Wild grass is grown scattered inside the area. There are few qat farms outside the fence, but no residential buildings in the neighborhood. Photo (5) shows the wind velocity measurement device. It is expected that the emissions from the Weather Doppler Radar station will have no adverse impact on humans even on those who have electrical
hypersensitivity (EH) since the electromagnetic field (EMF) is very weak and the residential areas are too far to be affected. (Proceedings of International Workshop on EMF Hypersensitivity Prague, Czech Republic October 25-27, 2004) Since most of the meteorological stations fall under category C, and few stations like the weather Doppler Radar stations would fall under category B, there is no necessity to elaborate on the ESMP especially as the modernization and upgrading would occur in the existing sites.

VII. Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)
Figure 2. Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) Figure 2 depicts a general model for an environmental and social management system. The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is a plan of action stipulating what specific activities need to be taken to ensure that mitigation measures are duly implemented.The ESMP aims at integrating environmental and social issues of the project with existing programs, activities and other components of the project to promote overall improvement of development through effective coordination and implementation of the mitigating measures in a timely manner. Undertaking an ESMP for a project is envisaged to contribute to:
Mitigating potential environmental and social risks Complying with regulations Meeting internal and international standards and targets Improving investor and/or customer satisfaction Improving the institutions public image Improving relations with regulatory authorities Facilitating permitting process Decreasing short and long term liabilities

Irrigation (MAI), the Agricultural Research and Extension Authority (AREA), the National Water Resources Authority (NWRA) and the Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Other operators in the future could include the Ports Authorities, the Public Corporation for Maritime Affairs (PCMA) and the Marine Sciences and Fisheries Resources Research Authority (MSFRRA). These operators vary in institutional, technical and technological capacities. By far, CAMA/YMS is well developed in these capacities compared with the other authorities and has regional and international links to fulfill its mandate. In fact, CAMA/YMS has the capacity to train the technical personnel of the other authorities.
Safeguards category There are several hydrological and climate recording stations across the country run by the different operators. For various reasons including weak capacity, negligence and lack of O&M financing, many stations are not functioning. The project intends to provide modernization and upgrading of a number of stations. Many stations could be considered falling under Category C of the World Bank (WB) classification of projects. However, the marine stations and the Doppler Weather Radar station fall under Category B. Therefore, per the WBs Operation Manual, since projects are categorized according to the component with the potentially most adverse effects, this project is identified as Category B.

XI. Public consultation
The consultations with the government authorities operating the meteorological stations, meetings with other stakeholders like farmers, water users, fishers and women were heldin December 2012 in Dhamar, Aden, Hadhramut, Seiyun, and Mulalla (Annex 8). The farmers, water users and fishers welcomed the supplyof modernized and upgraded stations. In fact, all wanted to have meteorological equipment with various complexities fitting the use of the stakeholder. According to Omar Qambeet –head of the Hadhramut Fishers Union, (see box 1), the fishers need quick information about climate change for safety purposes. There is a lapse of valuable time if they wait for information from the Fishers Union in Sana’a which receives the data from CAMA/YMS.
XII. Legislative and Regulatory Considerations
During the last two of the past century Yemen experienced serious economic difficulties which adversely impacted the social and economic situation and triggered accelerated environmental degradation. The unemployment, poverty, and general state of the -social and economic degradation in the country represented a growing threat to Yemen's environment. Since 1995 efforts were exerted to alleviate such problems. Liberalization of the economy, decontrol of prices, and floatation of the currency and encouragement of local and foreign investments were made. However, corruption and weakness of the institutional and legislative contexts hampered the realization of the changes attempted by the economic reform. Focus on environmental work and management evolved with institutional development from a stage focusing on combating environmental degradation and pollution to a stage centered more on sustainable use of the natural resources. The draft mandates of the Ministry of Water and Environment (MW&E) and the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) include the responsibilities to coordinate development of general environmental policy, environmental laws and standards, in addition to enhancing environmental awareness, dissemination of environmental information and development of national capacities. EPA reports directly to the MW&E. The EPA is also expected to meet the additional tasks mandated by the Environment Protection Law (EPL) of 1995,
“Fishers feel the changes in climate at sea while on the fishing grounds, they feel the sea level rise, current strength and approach. If possible, we recommend that the project supplies us with simple equipment to measure fundamental parameters to help fishers at sea. We will definitely need training on use of the equipment and how to maintain them and analyze the data.” Omar Qambeet Box. 1 Quotation from Mr. O. Qambeet Head of
Hadhramut Fishers Union 26/12/2012
31
particularly in environmental monitoring and impact assessment. Environmental management at sectoral levels including sectoral policy and legislation development is the responsibility of each relevant line ministry or agency in coordination with MW&E/EPA. The line ministries and agencies are also responsible for implementation of environmental activities within the context of their area of concern. There are also other support government ministries and agencies. These agencies support and facilitate realization and implementation of environmental activities and management tools. The public too contributes in environmental work either in an organized form i.e. non government organizations (NGOs), community based organization CBOs or through community participation at local levels. By the end of the 20th century Yemen had enacted several Laws and Republican Resolutions, bylaws and regulations pertaining directly or indirectly to the conservation of the environment and to natural resources as indicated in box 2 below. In addition, several resolutions issued by the Prime Minister are considered part of the overall legislation. Normally, such resolutions regulate the structure and functions of government agencies. They are considered legal documents as bylaws and regulations. The Environment Protection Law (26) of 1995 (EPL) is the main law governing protection of the environment. The Prime Minister’s Decree (148) of 2000 represents the bylaw interpreting the articles of the EPL. It is an important legal document governing in its annexes the lists of categories of projects requiring environmental impact assessments (EIA) in addition to other lists comprising some parameters for the purpose of environmental monitoring. Other important laws include the Water Law (33) for 2002 particularly Chapter (3) Articles (54-60) which regulate the pollution of water resources. Another relevant law is Law (21) for 1994 on Archeological Heritage particularly Part (3) Articles (10-19) which regulate the protection and maintenance of archeological structures (mobile or fixed). Several problems are witnessed at the legislative level including overlaps, ambiguity, redundancy, contradictions, conflicts and gaps in the laws pertaining to environmental issues and natural resources management. In addition, lack of awareness of the laws and the bylaws, clear correlations between penalties and non compliance had led to weak implementation.

ANNEX 1. ToR for ESMP
Yemen – Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) Investment I
Climate Information System and PPCR Coordination Project
Terms of Reference
Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) I. Background
Due to its high vulnerability to climate change, Yemen was chosen as one of the pilot countries under the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR). The objective of the PPCR is to provide incentives for scaled-up action and transformational change through pilot projects that demonstrate how to integrate climate risk and resilience into core development planning, while complementing other ongoing development activities in a given country. The PPCR will be country-led, and will enable pilot countries to transform country-specific plans and investment programs in order to address climate risks and vulnerabilities, building on National Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPAs) and other relevant country studies and strategies. Substantial programmatic resources will then be made available to help fund the newly identified public and private sector investments. The PPCR process will have two phases: Phase I will prepare the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR), and Phase II will implement priority interventions identified under Phase I. Through a series of consultations with various stakeholders, including different line ministries and agencies of the Government of Yemen (GOY), development partners, and civil society, the Yemen-PPCR team developed the Phase I proposal, which has been approved by the PPCR Sub-Committee, the oversight entity for the PPCR. In Yemen, the PPCR process will concentrate on addressing the following four pillars under Phase I: (I) climate change information system and awareness raising related to climate resilience; (II) mainstreaming climate change resilience into core national development planning and capacity building; (III) developing the SPCR; and (IV) strengthening the Technical Secretariat (TS)/Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and Program Coordination Unit (PCU) to facilitate implementation of the PPCR. Based on several consultations with national stakeholders, civil society and development partners, four main areas of interventions have been identified under the Phase II of the PPCR program and the Climate Info System & PPCR Coordination Project is one of the four interventions proposed. The main development objective of the proposed project is to improve the quality of hydro-meteorological and climate services provided to end-users and to strengthen knowledge management. The project will support the improvement of hydrometeorological and climate services delivery; increase climate resilience and reduce future economic losses associated with extreme weather caused by climate variability and change; and improve coordination and information sharing between all of agencies responsible for the collection of climate data, analysis and decision-support as well as maintain the oversight of the PPCR program, particularly in regards to knowledge management, awareness rising and information sharing with stakeholders. The project is to consist of the following components: Component A.Institutional Strengthening, Capacity Building and Implementation Support
34
Component B. Modernization of the National Hydrometeorological and Monitoring Networks Component C. Enhancement of the Service Delivery System Component D. Program Coordination and Knowledge Sharing
(i) Component A: Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building. The objective of Component A is to create the conditions that ensure institutional, staffing and financial sustainability of organizations improving climate resilience in Yemen through provision of weather, climate and water services that meet stakeholders’ needs. There are three subcomponents:
• Subcomponent A.1 – Institutional Strengthening and Development of a legal and
regulatory framework, which includes: (1.1) CAMA/YMS institutional development
and strategic planning for weather and climate services; (1.2) Revising legal and
regulatory framework for all institutions; and (1.3) Assessing staffing and operating
and maintenance costs.
• Subcomponent A.2 – Capacity Building and Training, which includes: (2.1)
Developing and implementing a capacity training program for CAMA/YMS and
users, including personnel training and retraining, and education at universities and
short courses in WMO regional training centers; (2.2) Implementing training
activities – workshops and round table discussions for major users from sectors such
as: disaster risk management, agriculture, water resources, energy, heath and civil
aviation.
• Subcomponent A.3 Technical implementation support, which includes: (3.1)
Technical design of observing and forecasting systems.
(ii) Component B. Modernization of the National Hydrometeorological Observing
Networks: This component aims to upgrade and expand the meteorological observations networks for meteorology, agro-meteorology and hydro-meteorology, ensuring that these networks are interoperable between CAMA/YMS, MAI, NWRA and AREA to ensure the efficient and timely transmission of information that is essential for management of disaster risks, agriculture and water resources. Collection of high-quality data is the foundation of producing reliable weather forecasts and warnings as well as monthly and longer term climate outlooks. There are three subcomponents:
• Subcomponent B.1 – Technical modernization of the observing networks, which
includes: (1.1) Extending the weather and climate surface observing network for
CAMA/YMS; (1.2) Installing hydrometeorological stations to refurbish and expand
the existing hydrometeorological stations; (1.3) Installing automatic
agrometeorological stations to refurbish and expand the existing agro-meteorological
stations; (1.5) Installing at least one Doppler weather radar next to the monitoring
station in Dhamar to improve the monitoring and forecasting of high impact events
associated with heavy precipitation and other weather related hazards. (1.6) Installing
up to three upper air stations measuring profiles of temperature, humidity and wind
speed and direction; (1.7) Upgrading of the CAMA/YMS calibration laboratory for
the use of all network operators; and (1.8) installing up to 3 standard marine stations
in Mukalla, Aden, and al-Mukalla
• Subcomponent B.2 – Modernization of the communication and ICT system, which
includes: (2.1) Updating communication equipment of all observing networks
(CAMA/YMS, MAI, AREA, NWRA and EPA); (2.2) Assessing and strengthening
35
the national data management system, including archiving and data rescue; and (2.3)
Upgrading operational satellite receiving systems for forecasting and mapping
applications.
• Subcomponent B.3 – Design and pilot operation of an environmental monitoring
system, which includes. (3.1) Developing a needs assessment and design of air
quality monitoring networks; and (3.2) Piloting an operational air quality monitoring
network.
(iii) Component C. Enhancement of the Service Delivery System: This component aims to enhance the delivery of services. This is a key program component that provides for the implementation of a systematic upgrade of the weather, climate and water-related end-to-end services provided to all agencies, communities and individuals. There are four subcomponents
• Component C.1 – Enhancement of Public Weather Service for agriculture, water
resources and irrigation, DRM, media, civil aviation, health, energy, which includes:
(1.1) Upgrading CAMA/YMS forecaster workstations and software to integrate all
available observations and numerical weather prediction products to increase
efficiency in the preparation and delivery of weather forecasts and warnings; (1.2)
Introducing specialized communication instruments, including TV, radio, SMS,
Internet to improve the dissemination of forecasts and warnings in line with WMO
recommendations; and (1.3) Enhancing the capability to assess the impact of
forecasts and warning on end-users utilizing survey tools that provide capability to
differentiate the impact of the forecast on by gender, age and other demographic
indicators.
• Component C.2 – Support of Disaster Risk Management operations for all DRM
stakeholders. Given the importance of flash floods to Yemen, a complete end-to-end
pilot for two regions (in the range of 10-20,000 km2) is proposed. In this case end-to-
end means an early warning system with the capacity to provide guidance, alert

(iv) Component D: PPCR Program Management and Knowledge Sharing: This umbrella component aims to provide a single entry point for the management of the overall PPCR Program in particular in regards to coordination, awareness rising and knowledge management. This component will purchase equipment, software, and technologies and will provide consultancy services to support investment and incremental operational costs of program management including that of consulting staff and training housed in the PPCR-PCU established in the EPA. There are two subcomponents:
• Component D.1 – PPCR Coordination and Monitoring
(1.1) PPRC Implementation support (PCU), which includes fiducial responsibilities for the entire project (procurement administration and updating of the procurement plan, financial management and reporting, safeguards, monitoring and evaluation and reporting).
(1.2) Regularly consolidate the results achieved by the PPCR activities for presentation to the Inter-Ministerial Committee for Climate Change (IMCCC).
(1.3) Support and monitor the integration of gender sensitive approaches throughout PPCR implementation will be given a high priority.
• Component D.2 – Knowledge Sharing
(2.1) Carry out public education and outreach activities geared towards improving information access and awareness rising of the challenges caused by climate change.
(2.2) Carry out the coordination of the PPCR program implementation, particularly in regards to knowledge management and information/data sharing.
(2.3) Develop and disseminate targeted knowledge products that are relevant to a variety of stakeholders and distill in a synergistic effort the results achieved by the projects under the SPCR.
II. Objective of the ESMP:
The purpose of an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is to assess the potential environmental and social impacts including gender aspects of the Climate Information System and PPCR Coordination Project. Minor impacts are expected especially for the activities under the Component B.1 such as installation of monitoring equipment and Doppler weather Radar, and upgrading marine observations. This study will address potential impacts of different alternatives and propose relevant mitigation measures and strategies. The study will establish clear directives and methodologies for the evaluation of activities to be financed by the project including site selection criteria. The study will culminate in an ESMP to ensure that all activities financed under the project are in compliance with the World Bank’s safeguard policies. The output of this consultancy is intended to help ensure that the proposed project will be environmentally and socially sound and sustainable.
37
III. Scope of Work
Primary tasks will be to assess potential environmental and social impacts including gender prior to and during project implementation, incorporate a system for monitoring those impacts, and develop a capacity building program for stakeholders to carry out effective risk management throughout the project. This will result in a final report that will address the following: 1) Describe the proposed project.Provide information of the activities under Component B.1
on the following: potential location of all project sites and general layout and extent of
facilities at project sites; design basis, size, capacity; pre-construction activities; construction
activities (if any), schedule, staffing and support, facilities and services; operation and
maintenance activities, management of risks, including health and safety; life expectancy for
major components.
. 2) Describe the Environment and Socio-cultural Environment. Assemble and evaluate and
baseline data on the environmental characteristics of the study area, including river
basin/watershed, inundation, floodplain and biological features (habitats and rare species,
fisheries), floodplain (recession) agriculture. Include maps and photos as appropriate.
a. Physical environment: geology, topography, soils, climate, surface and ground water
hydrology, erosion and sediment loading, existing/projected pollution discharges and
receiving water quality; instances of flooding, siltation/erosion;
b. Biological environment: flora and fauna, including rare or endangered species; sensitive
natural habitats, including parks and reserves; potential vectors for disease; exotics and
aquatic weeds; application of pesticides and fertilizers (current and projected)
c. Socio-cultural environment: land use; fisheries and farm/industrial outputs and inputs;
transportation; land tenure and land titling; present water supply and water uses (including
current distribution of water resources); control over allocation of resource use rights; gender
issue; water-related human health problems; cultural sites.
3) Preparation of site selection criteria. An Environmental and Social Management Plan will
be prepared for all of the known project existing sites. As to unknown sites, develop a site
selection criteria including negative checklist of the project sites such as locations which will
require private or community land acquisition, locations which has risk of flood, and
environmentally and socially sensitive areas, etc.
4) Legislative and Regulatory Considerations. Describe the relevant environmental laws,
regulations and standards at international, national, regional and local levels.
5) Determination of the Potential Impacts of and Impacts on the Proposed Project.
Consider the activities to be financed by the project, examine potential environmental and
social impacts including gender, both individual and cumulative, for each activity. The study
will consult information available from the existing PPCR project documents (PCN, ISDS,
Aide Memoires, examples of PPCR projects in other countries, etc). The study will describe
the principal problems and environmental and social impacts, which may result from
activities, and suggest appropriate mitigation measures.
38
6) Analysis of Alternatives to the Proposed Project. Describe alternatives that were
examined in the course of developing the proposed project and identify other alternatives that
would achieve the same objectives. Compare alternatives in terms of potential environmental
impacts, land requirements, capital and operating costs, reliability, suitability under local
conditions, and institutional, training, and monitoring requirements. When describing the
impacts, indicate which are irreversible or unavoidable and which may be mitigated. To the
extent possible, quantify the costs and benefits of each alternative, incorporating the
estimated costs of any associated mitigating measures. Include the alternative of not
constructing the project to demonstrate environmental conditions without it.
7) Development of an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP). Estimate the
impacts and costs of the mitigation measures and of the institutional and training
requirements to implement them. Prepare an ESMP, including proposed work programs,
budget estimates the entity responsible for it financing, schedules, staffing and training
requirements, and other necessary support services to implement the mitigating measures,
monitoring, etc.
Prepare a detailed plan to monitor the implementation of mitigating measures and the impacts of the project during construction and operation. Include in the plan an estimate of capital and operating costs and a description of other inputs (such as training and institutional strengthening) needed to implement the plan. Develop a monitoring and evaluation system for environmental and social impacts and significant environmental and social values to be included in the overall project monitoring and evaluation system and clarify each role (who will do what and when?). The plan should define measurable indicators and propose methodologies for measurement, including a definition of who should measure the different indicators and at which intervals. Review the authority and capability of institutions at local, provincial/regional, and national levels and recommend steps to strengthen or expand them so that the ESMP may be effectively implemented. The recommendations may extend to new laws and regulations, new agencies or agency functions, intersectoral arrangements, management procedures and training, staffing, operation and maintenance training, budgeting, and financial support. An outline of the contents of the ESMP to be included in the project’s Operational Manual should be provided along with environmental/social protection clauses for contracts and specifications.
IV. Deliverables and Reporting
Specific outputs of this consultancy will be a final Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) in English and in Arabic. The consultant will share the main findings with the stakeholders ans the suggested/agreed mitigation measures during a presentation and help the PCU organize a public consultation workshop by identifying the stakeholders (including civil servant, government officials, implementation agencies, NGOs, Enterprises involved in the equipment installation and works controlling entities eventually community representative around the selected sites etc.) to be invited. The consultant will summarize comments received at the public consultation and revised the draft ESMP accordingly.
39
During his field visits the consultant should ensure that all the investment should be done in the government existing land and no new land will be involved for these project activities.
