1. INTRODUCTION 1. The Maritime and Waterways Safety Project is jointly funded by the Government of Papua New
Guinea (GoPNG) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through Loan 2978-PNG. The Loan Agreement was signed on the 29th of January 2013. The Executing Agency is the National Maritime Safety Authority (NMSA).
2. The Maritime Waterways Safety Project (MWSP) aims at improving safety and efficiency of
international and national shipping in coastal areas and waterways in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by replacing, installing and maintaining navigational aids (navaids), improving maritime safety information infrastructure, improving maritime safety practice of communities, and providing efficient project management and capacity development.
3. The MWSP involves the maintenance of 99 existing navigational aids and installation of 33 new
ones across the 14 provinces in PNG. The project is expected to have limited and or minor land acquisition of mostly of sea-bed, reefs, or foreshore. Also, it is unlikely to have displacement of people or resettlement impacts, as most sub-projects are existing infrastructures and rehabilitation works will be undertaken in the sea and within existing location.
4. According to ADB reporting requirement as stipulated in its Safeguards Policy Statements 2009
(SPS 2009), the MWSP social and community development team should report on a semi-annual basis on safeguard matters (categorized B), although there is no involuntary resettlement of any people necessary for this project.
5. This social safeguard monitoring report covers project activities from July to December 2017 of
mostly community and stakeholder consultations for package three, which covers the whole of Momase Region (Morobe, Madang, West and East Sepik Provinces), and areas of Northern/Oro and Milne Bay Provinces in the Southern Region.
6. The following paragraphs describe in brief the project background, social safeguard
requirements, resettlement processes and the community engagement programme, which involves two field visits to each community per navaid site as a minimum and one courtesy visit to the respective provincial government administrations, where the navaids will be installed.
7. Then a short overview is given on implementation of project activities during the reporting period.
A table is attached in Appendix A, which summarises the main outcomes and outputs per community, lists all signed agreements regarding land acquisition and other social safeguard requirements, any land disputes in the communities, planned mediation processes and further steps how to overcome these problems.
8. A monitoring of the consultation process has started whereas resettlement and social
assessments in communities have been initiated as a prerequisite for installation of planned navaids. Any socio-economic impact of people’s life regarding project activities can be monitored after the first installation of the navaid and first installment of land lease payments to customary landowners and Community Lighthouse Committees (CLC).
9. Detailed activity reports with meeting minutes, signed agreements, due diligence reports for
resettlement and photos of sites and communities are not attached to this report but were submitted in quarterly progress reports to ADB.
10. In Appendices B-D are sample forms for Free, Prior and Informed Consent, a checklist from the
LARF and minutes from community consultations.

2. PROJECT OVERVIEW 11. The Project has four main outputs:
I. Installation of 33 new navaids, replacement of 99 existing navaids, and maintenance of installed and replaced navaids as located in the various Maritime Provinces.
II. Improvement of safety information, infrastructure, comprising hydrographic surveys, installation of 5 AIS transponders, and installation of 3 tide gauges.
III. Improvement of maritime safety practice of communities, comprising of community engagement programs for maritime safety awareness activities and small craft safety training activities.
IV. Provision of efficient project management and capacity development, comprising of establishment of a Project Implementing Unit (PIU), support to manage and implement the project, and engagement and training of staff in operating the safety and hydrographic information infrastructure of NMSA.
12. The impact will be safer and enhanced access to socioeconomic opportunities for communities in PNG and regional and international stakeholders. The project is expected to produce benefits for rural and remote populations as well as the national and international population.
13. The Project has been classified B under ADB SPS (2009) for environment and social category.
Framework documents have been prepared to describe the safeguard requirements for the project. NMSA as executing agency has overall responsibility to comply with safeguard requirements.
14. The PIU of the project employed two Community and Land Coordinators (national, whole project
duration) and a Gender, Community and Lands Specialist (international, intermittent) as part of the community development team.
3. METHODOLOGY 15. Social safeguards and resettlement in this project include inter alia a community engagement
programme (CEP) and land acquisition processes. Involuntary resettlement of people will not be required as most navaids will be installed in the seabed or on locations on land, which mark a cliff or a rock. In most cases, no vegetation is to be removed.
16. The resettlement process involves land acquisition of customary land on a lease basis for 20
years. Most sites are under water. The proposed size of land under water is 20 m x 20 m and on land 10 m x 10 m. The lease is signed between NMSA and respective landowners. The Land Investigation Report (LIR) is initiated by officers from Department of Lands and Physical Planning (DLPP) and provincial land officers. Land acquisition processes follow legal procedures of PNG government as disclosed in the Land Act 1996 (currently under review).
4. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM (CEP) 17. The CEP comprises of several phases of stakeholder consultations, which have to be followed
before any installation of the navaid can proceed. 18. The first phase includes courtesy visits to the provincial administrations. The main aim of these
visits is to introduce the project to the Provincial Administrator (PA), Governor and respective officers from Land, Law and Justice, Planning and Local Level Government. The project team expects to get information from the lands officers about the communities located nearest to the planned site to identify the right landowners.
6
19. After receiving information from the lands officers and provincial administrations, the team
conducts first visits to communities. The main purpose of these visits is to conduct awareness about the installation of the navaid/beacon and the project. The first consultation with communities is done by the community, environment and engineering project teams. Officers from provincial and national lands divisions/department, a surveyor and a valuer also join the team.
20. Whilst the community team conducts the awareness about the project, the engineering team
assesses the sites with local permission and attendance. It is crucial that people in villages accept the installation of the navaid and that elder, councilors and landowners give their permission to the project team to inspect the sites. By accepting and understanding the purpose of the project, community representatives sign a Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), which is a precondition of continuing project activities. The form is pre - signed by NMSA CEO; one original is within the community and the other original remains in the project office.
21. A checklist retrieved from the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) is filled
during each community visit and a due diligence report prepared for each site (see sample attached in Appendix B).
22. During community meetings, the MWSP CD team also discloses grievance redress mechanisms
and explains further steps of the community programme. All awareness material about the project is prepared by the CD team and distributed in community meetings, which are recorded and filed in the office. Main emphasis is laid on gender balance, when it comes to decision making for the navaid installation, land issues and representation in public discussions.
23. The second phase of community consultations is focused around land acquisition and community
representation by forming a Community Lighthouse Committee (CLC). The Community Lighthouse Committee is established to monitor the lighthouse and to ensure that no vandalism acts occur to the lighthouse.
24. The CLC is responsible for the security of the lighthouse and to report any outage or damage of
lights. It is bounded by the Community Security and Lighthouse Monitoring Agreement (CSLA). The term of this agreement is for twenty (20) years.
25. Fees are paid once the lighthouses are installed and are tested to be functioning. Whilst the LIR
is conducted by officers from DLPP and provincial/district lands offices with assistance from the CD project team, the whole process around forming of CLC is solely the responsibility of the CD project team. Village Councillors and Ward Recorders assist the team in retrieving information through community profiles and collecting socio - economic baseline data through survey questionnaires.
26. Awareness about safe practice at sea for small craft operators and community members are part
of the awareness programme during the second visits. These trips last approximately two to three days per community. Distribution of HIV/AIDS material and a short introduction on transmission, background and social impact is done by Community and Lands Coordinators, who have been trained and certified during the inception phase of the Project.
5. GENDER
27. The project has a Gender Action Plan (GAP), which was modified in a workshop with relevant stakeholders in 2015. It lays strong emphasis on developing equal gender participation in decision making processes and consultations on the community, administrative and management level whenever possible. Cultural constraints and differences especially in decision making processes about landownership in matrilineal and patrilineal societies were discussed and appropriate amendments done. The GAP identifies and addresses gender issues in project activities and formulates indicators for outputs and impacts. Regular monitoring is provided and
7
updates on the GAP are submitted in the Quarterly Reports. The CD team implements gender awareness in community consultations and visits to the provincial administrations. Women are encouraged to express their opinions about the proposed navaid installations and are active members of the community lighthouse committee (CLC) and signatories to the committee account. The CLC agreement, which is signed by NMSA and the CLC executive members includes a clause that 20% of funds spent for communal activities must benefit women and girls. At the end of each year, the CLCs have to prepare reports, which then will be monitored by NMSA. So far, the installation of navaids has not been completed. Monitoring of the CLC reports will start after the installation of the first navaids have been completed.
6. ACTIVITIES FROM PERIOD JULY TO DECEMBER 2017
28. As of December 2017, the project had three proposed navaid packages distributed over 12
maritime provinces in Papua New Guinea. After the list was updated 105 installations are planned in total. Package 1 includes 48 navaids, 44 in Milne Bay Province and 4 in Central Province. Package 2 is geographically scattered over the New Guinea Islands Region, which includes Autonomous Region of Bougainville (ARB), New Ireland (NIP) and Manus (MP); East New Britain (ENB) and West New Britain (WNB) Provinces. A total of 20 navaids are listed in package 2. Package 3 involves the main coastline of Papua New Guinea and includes six Provinces. The total number of sites is 37.
29. The list of confirmed sites has been changed due to various reasons. The issues in communities,
which could not be solved by mediation or during consultations therefore led to cancellation of these sites.
30. Field activities from July to December 2017 only focused on Package 3, which has the
geographically most spread area from Manus (Wuwulu Island), Sandaun, East Sepik, Morobe, Madang, Northern and Milne Bay Provinces. After all, second visits were completed, the total number of sites for package 3 is 37 sites and 34 communities.
31. Actual field visits were implemented to all 34 communities and site assessments were done for
all 45 sites. 32. Land and resettlement activities in the reporting period focused on follow ups for the Land
Investigation Reports (LIRs) for Packages 1-3 and all necessary documents like survey plans and valuation reports. Status of LIRs can be seen in detail in Table 3.
7. OUTPUTS FOR ACTIVITIES JULY - DECMBER 2017
I) PACKAGE 3 SITE VISITS 33. All first site visits were implemented for package 3 with different outcomes. The CD team could
finalise first activities during the project awareness and had positive feedback from nearly all members in the communities except for Sek Island in Madang Province. The Sek Island community is located within the vicinity of the Pacific Marine Industrial Zone (PIMZ) and the Fish Cannery. As per discussions, community members complained about not having been consulted by the government before the construction of PIMZ and they felt being misled by the government over compensation claims for reefs and fishing grounds in the Ottilien Passage. The project team tried to convince the community that the installation of a navaid will bring more protection for the environment, saves lives and also will benefit them. The team went there three times, but was told not to conduct any further activities as the community has to sort themselves out first. It was agreed that by August 2017 the project team will contact the Councilor to discuss if the community is ready for the proposed activities (LIR, CLC). If not, the Project Management has to decide further steps. The CD team conducted a follow-up visit in October, however, there was no response from the Councilor thus the management decided to remove the three sites due to on-going land dispute.
8
34. Gender related issues were brought up by the Uiaku community in Oro Province. The CD team
was confronted with the refusal of village men to have women take part in community meetings however assured the team that women will be included in the formation of the lighthouse. The main reasons for excluding women in communal meetings and become member of CLC were given as due to their custom and traditional practices of patrilineal society and their interpretation of text passages in the Bible. After some unpleasant discussions, the CD team had to convince them on women’s participation and representation in the committee, which then was implemented (All CD team members are females). A few more village women attended the meetings. During this visit, LIRs were initiated.

III) LAND INVESTIGATION REPORT WITHIN REPORTING PERIOD 35. Within these six months, the project had several LIRs signed and endorsed by the respective
Provincial Administrators for package 2 and 3. The LIRs for package 3 have been initiated in Madang Province only for three sites. Below is an updated table for all LIRs, which were initiated during the project period.
36. There is an ongoing concern of not receiving respective survey plans, but especially valuation reports, of which not one was completed to date by officers from the Valuer’s General Office (VGO). A meeting was held lately with valuers from the VGO to discuss the whole valuation process and the reasons why the reports have been delayed.

37. As of December 2017, the project has in total 78 LIRs initiated of which 50 are signed and stamped and copies are available in the project office.
8. GRIEVANCE REDRESS 38. During the reporting period, the project office decided to remove two sites from the list of
proposed navaid installation for package 2 and four sites on package 3. The reasons for cancellation were landowner issues and technical strategic reasons, see following:
39. Madang Province/ Package 3, Ottillien Passage –Sek Island Reef, Budup Reef and
Admosin Island Reef: The project team had visited the community several times, however the community had unsolved land issues.
40. Oro Province/ Package 3, Claire Shoal and Elanor Shoal: During the visit to Kurereda, the
team was faced with security issues as well as been confronted by one of the villagers disputing the sites. With these, the project management decided to cancel the two sites.
41. Oro Province/Package 3, Rainu Reef No.1: Existing registered land dispute in court which is
still pending a decision. Project cannot continue with LIR. 42. Oro Province/Package 3, Varau Island Reef East & West: Land ownership issues over Varau
Islands.
9. CONCLUSION 43. Social safeguard monitoring and reporting follows the same described pattern of activities. The
most unpredictable component in the community engagement programme is the land acquisition as landownership is a main cultural identity; families and clans in communities follow sometimes different interests, which should be treated sensitively.
12
44. Although land mediation strategies are initiated where disputes arise, some problems cannot be resolved during project implementation. Packages 1, 2 and 3 must go for tender and the list of proposed navaids might be changed over disputed sites thus to provide an appropriate basis for a contractor to address communities and start with installations of navaids.
45. During all community and public consultation processes the CD team realised that the Project
and its planned outputs is highly appreciated as it benefits the public directly through its community engagement programme and land lease payments to landowners, but also from the safety perspective minimising risks of sea accidents and improving safety of national and international shipping.
46. A special emphasis has to be given on gender issues and the community must be aware about
roles and rights of women in PNG whenever the situation is appropriate; social safeguard practices in ADB funded projects are always priority and are implemented according to safeguard policies.

Agenda Community awareness about the Project and signing of the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) form and assessment of the site.
• Brief description of the community and where the community awareness took place; o Mouklen is a well-established community with a lot of permanent houses. It lays in
the boundaries of ward 9. The meeting was held in this community. It is the closest community to the site. The councillor of this community was not present at the meeting, therefor the councillor of Ward 8, representing Lengkau community, signed the consent form. He also claimed to be landowner of the customary land of the site, which is located on Langembulos island/Houm/Pucho.
o Mouklen was a government plantation of copra production, coconut oil. The plantation is closed, but is still state land. They have a primary school, aid post and some stores. Travel time per dinghy is 3-4 hours to Lorengau. People live from subsistence economy, but also have cash income from beche de mer and selling of fish, which they sell at Lorengau.
The technical team assessed the site on the island of Langembulos; the best location for the lighthouse would be on land. During the trip to the island the technical team was informed by some villagers that the island is disputed under four clans and that the councillor only represents one clan. The customary lands officer from Manus Province explained the visit of the project team. The awareness was done by the CD team. Community’s Response
o The president of the Village Planning Committee (Mouklen) stated that the councillor for Ward 9 is in town and he asked the councillor of Ward 8 to speak on their behalf. He mentioned that they all agree with having a lighthouse installed and that it serves the communities of the whole island and not just one. It saves lives and their fishing environment. The FPIC was signed by the Ward 8 councillor and one women´s representative. The name of the community on the FPIC was mentioned as Lenkau, in fact the meeting was with Mouklen community. This has to be sorted out in the next visit.
o The team thanked the community and went on site with the chief. Comments: The customary lands officer of Manus will visit the community again to find out about possible disputes over the island, where the lighthouse will be installed. The project team has to discuss how to proceed further.
