I. INTRODUCTION On 18 June 2015, the recipient through ADB applied to JFPR grant for the purpose of the

disaster risk reduction and livelihood restoration for earthquake affected communities. On

8 December 2015, the grant agreement was signed between ADB and the Government

of Nepal. The grant which became effective on 8 January 2016 is administered by ADB.

The project supports the government to accelerate recovery and reconstruction, following

the devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015 and the major aftershocks of 12 May 2015.

The project as envisaged at the time of approval has three outputs/ (or components)

covering the 14 districts. The component’s impact, outcomes and inputs/activities

envisaged at the time of project approval are summarized (Annex-1) the original number

of output 1 was the reconstruction and upgrading of 14 model schools. However, in view

of updated cost estimates based on the completed designs and bid prices received and

the available grant amount, this output was not feasible. The output target, therefore, was

reduced to reconstruction and upgrading of 8 model schools as confirmed during the Mid

Term Review Mission (MTR). The remaining 6 schools were agreed to be reconstructed

and upgraded under EEAP while equipment for these schools will still be provided under

DRRLREACP.

A. Outputs (i) Output 1: Schools in poorer and severely affected districts constructed or

rebuilt as model disaster resilient schools. This rebuilds or retrofits at least 14 model

school with disaster resilient standard in lines with government’s school reconstruction

plans and to be equipped with ICT equipment’s, science laboratories and improved

learning space, furniture and amenities. The component is implemented using the same

implementation arrangements as the Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP)

(ii) Output 2: Microcredit facility for livelihood restoration provided to small

farmer cooperative (SFC). This provide microcredit to approximately 12,500 affected

household to restore damage from the earthquake. The microcredit is channeled through

the network of small farmer cooperative (SFCs) affiliated with the Small Farmer

development Bank (SFDB).

(iii) Output 3: Disaster risk management capacity of the affected communities

strengthened. The component is to conduct training programs on disaster resilient

construction and disaster risk management.

B. Project Location The EEAP is being implemented in 8 districts: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Kavreplanchowk,

Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha, Ramechhap, Okhaldhunga, and Sindhuli. Additionally, there

are two model schools under reconstruction, one in each district, as Dolakha and

Ramechhap financed by JFPR grant. Furthermore, 6 model schools are being

reconstructed, one in each district, as Lalitpur, Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Gorkha, Dhading and

Makawanpur also financed JFPR grant.

C. Purpose of Safeguard Compliance Monitoring Report

The purpose of this Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report is to fulfill

the environmental safeguard requirements of the government and ADB. The

main purpose of the Semiannual Monitoring Report is to assess the progress

on environment and safeguard implementation at the construction sites which

includes status of air quality, noise and vibration, quarry site management,

spoil management, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), management

of construction waste materials and camp site management covering from

January- June 2019.

II. COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS

The environment safeguards related project activities are generally in compliance

with loan covenants. The detail of environment covenants is presented in Annex-

III. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENT SAFEGUARD MEASURES

Contracts have been awarded for all sub-projects under EEAP and DRRLREACP,

construction works have already been started in all 8 sub-projects. Till the

reporting all sub projects are under construction.

For better environmental safeguard compliance of the project, implementation of

EMP has been strictly carried out. The summary of environmental compliances

are as follows (Annex-1).

(i) Air and Water Qualities

Air quality within the reconstruction site has been maintained in tolerable level

as the reconstruction works of schools generate insignificant amount of dust.

Similarly, water quality is not degraded since spoils are managed within the

site and stabilized by reinstating natural drainage system.

(ii) Spoil Management

Spoil disposal sites have been identified and are being managed in specified

disposal sites as far as possible. The spoil is disposed at location where there

is the requirement of the fill material as requested by community.

(iii) Camp Site Management

Drinking water and toilet facilities were provided to the workers. Temporary

toilets were constructed for the workers, but in some sites, workers were

using the existing school toilets. Most of the workers are from outside the

village. Therefore, contractors have built temporary camps for the workers

near the construction sites as required by the labors. Workers use LPG as

well as firewood for cooking at camp site.

(iii) Occupational Health and Safety

Occupation health and safety have been partially followed. PPE like, helmet,

gloves, boots, and jackets have been provided by the contractors to workers.

Insurance of each worker had been done. First aid kit with medicines has been

maintained at each construction site.

(iv) Signboard placing

Contractors have placed sign boards for contract information at most of the

construction sites
