Executive Summary

1. The Government of Bangladesh (GOB) has undertaken the Second Urban Governance

and Infrastructure Improvement (Sector) Project (UGIIP-II) with financial assistance from

the Asian Development Bank (ADB) (Loan No. 2462 BAN (SF) together with co-financing

from KfW and GIZ to improve governance and urban service provision initially in 35

selected municipalities. Based on their performance and due to change of status of some

Pourashava, 4 of these municipalities were dropped in the 3rd phase and 16 new

Pourashavas were included in the project program covering a total of 51 Pourashavas all

over the country. Out of these 51 municipalities, 37 were financed by ADB and the

remaining 14 were funded by KfW

2. The project was implemented over a period of five years (2010 -2015) and variety of

subprojects have been undertaken under UGIIP-2 viz. Urban Transport (UT), Drain (DR),

Municipal Facility (MF), Sanitation (SN), Water Supply (WS), Solid Waste Management

(SWM) and Slum Improvement (SI). In total in phase 2, 1367 schemes (354 packages)

were implemented in 35 pourashavas. The project improved/upgraded 489872 m of

roads and 102666 m of drains. It also contributed to development of 2 no. municipal

markets, 14 no. kitchen markets, 2 no. community halls, 2 no. river fronts/ boat landing

ghats, 3 nos. truck/bus terminals/ parking, 3 nos. dumping grounds, street lighting, city

beatification schemes, production tube wells and water supply schemes, contributed

towards improvement of sanitation by developing community toilets and improvement of

living conditions in the slums areas through slum improvement schemes.

3. In phase 3, 1016 schemes (144 packages) were implemented in 47 pourashavas. The

project improved/upgraded 590382 m of roads, 43769 m of drains. It also contributed to

development of 2 no. municipal markets, 2 no. truck/bus terminals/parking, 2 no.

community halls/auditorium, river ghats, street lighting and city beatification schemes.

4. In phase 2, the highest number of road km developed is in Natore pourashava (36.27)

followed by Rangpur (29.45) and Jamalpur (29.35). These 3 pourashavas contributed to

19.4% of all the road length developed in the 35 pourashavas. For the drain projects the

highest number of drain km developed were in Comilla (5.78) and Noakhali (5.78)

pourashavas followed by Kurigram (5.77). These 3 pourashavas contributed to 16.88%

of all the drain length developed in the 35 pourashavas.

5. In phase 3, the highest number of road km developed is in Jamalpur pourashava (47.84)

followed by Faridpur (30.91) and Satkhira (22.38). These 3 pourashavas contributed to

17.13% of all the road length developed in the 47 pourashavas. For the drain projects

the highest number of drain km developed were in Chuadanga (10.17) pourashavas

followed by Kurigram (5.77) and Jhalakathi (4.92). These 3 pourashavas contributed to

47.66% of all the drain length developed in the 47 pourashavas.

6. UGIIP-2 draft RF was prepared following Bangladesh’s Acquisition and Requisition of

Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO) of 1982 (and its succeeding amendments) and

ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy, 1995 (pre-Safeguard Policy Statement - SPS)

during project preparation in 2009. The RF was revised in January 2011 by MDS

consultants to include implementation facilitation and voluntary resettlement (including

voluntary removal of assets and land donations for the project). The UGIIP-2 project is

classified as category B for involuntary resettlement and category B for indigenous

peoples in considerations of the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009.

7. Initially MDS Regional Resettlement Specialists visited the proposed subprojects and

conducted the screening to identify potential IR impacts following a structured screening

form. The proposed subprojects were categorized as per the identified potential IR

impact. Under Phase 2 implementation 10 packages were assessed to have IR impacts

therefore SRPs for each package were prepared. Under Phase 3 implementation 8

SRPs were prepared. The SRPs were submitted to ADB for review and no objection.

8. Impacts are limited to removal of a few trees, temporary/permanent boundary walls,

shifting of business activities during the construction period and the like. Subsequent to

identification of the impacts through the screening exercise, socio-economic surveys of

the affected persons have been conducted to address the negative impacts and the

costs towards compensation as well as other assistances have been estimated in the

short RP. Because of the priority need for the proposed subprojects, there have been

instances where the local community have been forthcoming in voluntarily removing the

structure/assets to facilitate their implementation. In such cases, written consent of the

affected person(s)/ local community and the respective pourashava officials have been

documented. Where necessary, the SSA reports also included Short Resettlement Plans

(SRPs) that identified the APs and the compensation/assistance to be paid to the APs.

9. Total compensation paid under this project is BDT 33,516.00. This money has been paid

mostly for shifting/removal of trees, tea stall, shops etc from the project alignments.

10. In order to minimize land acquisition and resettlement, LGED adopted measures like

community consensus on the location of community facilities viz. sanitary latrines and

deep tube wells; realignment of ROW for community roads and bridges to achieve

minimum impacts on houses and structures and utilization of vacant Pourashava land for

solid waste management that will not pose health hazards to human settlements etc.

11. Out of 47 pourashavas, 14 PSs submitted proposal to Project Management Office (PMO)

for land acquisition to construct dumping ground and Bus Terminal (Bus Terminal-

Patgram PS). Total proposed land for acquisition of 14 PSs is 32.122 Acre’s. The land acquisition activities amounting to 24.792 acres that includes the fixation value of

TK.20,02,13,491.00 of which TK. 18,07,48,721.00 has been paid in 10 PSs (Faridpur,

Bhanga, Satkhira, Sreemongal, Chowmuhani, Patgram, Ghorashal, Benapole, Nachole

& Cox’s Bazar) were completed. Among the 10 Pourashavas that acquired land, 7 PSs

have been given payment fully.

12. Among the districts where the project pourashavas are located, possibility of affecting

indigenous people occured in Khagrachari, Banadarban and Mymensing. The

subprojects under UGIIP-II are located only within the urban area and do not impact any

cluster/habitation area where indigenous people reside. However, to ensure that

indigenous people are not adversely impacted, UGIIP-II undertook screening of all the

subprojects adopting a screening checklist before start of any project work.

13. MDS regional resettlement specialists were placed primarily to assist the PIUs in

monitoring, consultation with affected persons and stakeholders, liaison work with

pourashava, PIU, MDS safeguard unit, contractors and other persons involved in the

project. Monitoring reports by the safeguard team in the project are submitted every

month highlighting safeguard issues during the screening, implementation and operation

stages.

14. The Safeguard team of UGIIP II organised orientation cum training programmes on

implementation of safeguard issues during design, construction and operation stages of

the project for the PIU and contractor staffs and Municipal Engineers. To cover all the

pourashavas in the project, nine training programmes were planned where participants

were invited from 4/5 pourashavas at one regional venue.

15. The project has been complying with all the safeguard related loan covenants viz.

compliance to ADB”s safeguards policy, land acquisition, involuntary resettlement, ADB's

Policy on Indigenous People (1998), ADB’s Environment Policy (2002), local laws and

policies, labour laws etc. during various stages of the project.

16. Some of the important lessons learnt from the project that could be adopted in future

projects of similar nature include the following:

participatory approach with parallel activities viz. consultations, socioeconomic

surveys, visioning and planning meetings involving coordination committees at

ward and town level to prepare the Pourashava Development Plan (PDP) and

investment plan for sector wise priority schemes

Safeguard assessment and categorization of the schemes should be an integral

part of the template to review the project proposals submitted by the pourashavas

There should be clear procedures laid out in the RF including participation of

prominent citizens of the pourashava/ TLCC members etc. on negotiated land

acquisition and donation of land and/or non-land assets. The Resettlement

Framework should be clear on the process for documenting voluntary donation

by individual/community as the locals in the pourashavas actively participate in

the development process.

Workshops should be conducted periodically focusing on orienting the

participants on safeguard compliances during project planning and

implementation. Conduct of the workshops should be linked to the schedule of

award of the subprojects. There is a possibility that new contractors not involved

in earlier phases of the project would be inducted in to the project and training

programmes should be repeated in each phase of the project to cover all the

contractors.

2.3.2 Pourashava wise Financial Achievements

In all the 51 pourashava analysis of financial achievement up to May 2015 reveal the fact

that all the pourashava have utilised the total mony that was allocated to them as contract

Social Safeguards Compliance

3.1 Resettlement Framework (RF)

UGIIP-2 draft RF was prepared following Bangladesh’s Acquisition and Requisition of

Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO) of 1982 (and its succeeding amendments) and

ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy, 1995 (pre-Safeguard Policy Statement - SPS) during

project preparation in 2009 and was finalized when the loan agreement was signed. The

main objective of the RF is to provide the policies and procedures in preparing and

implementing the resettlement plans (RPs) for all subprojects under the project. The RF was

revised in January 2011 by MDS consultants to include implementation facilitation and

voluntary resettlement (including voluntary removal of assets and land donations for the

project).

3.2 Project Categorization

The UGIIP-2 project is classified as category B for involuntary resettlement and

category B for indigenous peoples in considerations of the ADB Safeguard Policy

Statement, 2009. However, many of the Subprojects selected for implementation though fall

into Category B but during implementation it was found that for which Category C applies,

since these are likely to have minimal or no adverse Involuntary Resettlement (IR) impacts

or if any, are not considered significant. S ubprojects that have potential for Category-A

impacts are not included in the project.

3.3 Social Safeguard Compliance during Project Implementation

3.3.1 Updating Short Resettlement Plans prepared by PPTA Consultants

During project preparation, pilot subprojects in 3 pourashavas (Bhanga, Rangpur, and

Cox’s Bazar) were prepared as examples for the project. One of the tasks for the MDS consultants was to update these SRPs; however, this was not necessary because of the

following reasons:

(i) Bhanga draft SRP. The subproject (bus terminal) was not yet taken up. As of date

no progress has been done therefore updating of SRP is not necessary.

(ii) Rangpur draft SRP. The subproject (water supply) was not included in the list of

subprojects funded under UGIIP-2. Therefore updating of SRP is not necessary.

(iii) Cox’s Bazar draft SRP. The subproject (roads) was not selected during project implementation. Therefore updating of SRP is not necessary

3.3.2 Screening and Categorization of subprojects

Pourashavas submitted their subproject proposals to PMO.The PMO after its internal

review forwarded the proposal to MDS team leader who then forwarded it to the design team

for preparation to finalization of the subproject design. MDS Regional Resettlement

3



Specialists visited the proposed subprojects and conducted the screening to identify potential

IR impacts following a structured screening form. The proposed subprojects were categorized

as per the identified potential IR impact. The National and International Resettlement

Specialists conducted sample checks of the proposed subprojects and their categorization.

3.3.3 Preparation of Short Resettlement Plans

The following table shows the categories assigned to the packages (generally contain

combination of subprojects/schemes) after the review of screening checklists and conduct of

transect walks/reconnaissance surveys:

Phase 2 Phase 3 Number of subprojects 1,367 1016 Number of checklists 1367 1016 Number of packages 354 144 1. Category B 11 packages 8 packages

Type of IR impacts

- Land acquisition - Felling/cutting of trees - Removal of structures

along ROWs - Livelihood impacts

- Felling/cutting of trees - Removal of structures

along ROWs - Livelihood impacts

Number involving land acquisition

13 (for sanitary landfills) 1 (for bus terminal)

2. Category C (verified no IR impact)

343 packages 136 packages (including 1 negotiated land purchase for a bus terminal)

3. Voluntary resettlement 4. Negotiated land purchase

Packages categorized as C and those involving voluntary resettlement and negotiated

land purchase do not require further document preparation after verification of checklists.

MDS social safeguard team prepared SRPs for Category-B packages. Under Phase 2

implementation 11 packages were assessed to have IR impacts therefore SRPs for each

package were prepared. Under Phase 3 implementation 8 SRPs were prepared. The SRPs

were submitted to ADB for review and no objection.

3.3.4 Compensation and Rehabilitation

It has been observed in a large number of subprojects that the impacts are limited to

removal of a few trees, temporary/permanent boundary walls, shifting of business activities

during the construction period and the like. Subsequent to identification of the impacts

through the screening exercise, socio-economic surveys of the affected persons have been

conducted to address the negative impacts and the costs towards compensation as well as

other assistances have been estimated in the short RP. Because of the priority need for the

proposed subprojects, there have been instances where the local community have been

forthcoming in voluntarily removing the structure/assets to facilitate their implementation. In

such cases, written consent of the affected person(s)/ local community and the respective

pourashava officials have been documented. Where necessary, the SSA reports also

included Short Resettlement Plans (SRPs) that identified the APs and the

compensation/assistance to be paid to the APs. Total compensation paid under this project is



BDT 33,516.00. This money has been paid mostly for shifting/removal of trees, tea stall,

shops etc from the project alignments.

Pourashava wise details of APs and payment of compensation is presented in

appendices -1.

3.4 Land Acquisitions

3.4.1 Most land parcels are owned by local governments; o r Willingness to donate

land/non-land assets for the project by people. However, some subprojects, if require any

minor land acquisition and involuntary resettlement involving either physical or economic

displacement, restrictions to land use that will be duly complied with the IR and SPS of

ADB.

UGIIP-II is implementing as a sector project which aims to cover 47 Pourashavas

(secondary towns). The subprojects in UGIIP–II eligible for loan assistance from Asian

Development Bank (ADB) include roads, bridges, water supply, low cost sanitation, solid

waste management (SWM) and town center development as well as public markets and

upgrading of low-income communities. Project implementation is divided in three phases

over the period of 6 years. In Phase 2 when infrastructure improvement works has started.

Eligible subprojects shall have different area requirements and there are chances that land

acquisition would take place in their locations. In order to minimize land acquisition and

resettlement, the LGED has adopted the following measures for compliance by the

Pourashavas:

Utilization of existing lands for the rehabilitation of public markets, upgrading of

low-income communities, water supply and distribution, and town centre

development;

Community consensus on the location of sanitary latrines and deep wells;

Realignment of rights-of-way for community roads and bridges to achieve

minimum impacts on houses and structures;

Vacant Pourashava lands will be utilized for solid waste management that will not

pose health hazards to human settlements.

The Local Land Registration Office (LLRO) under the Office of the Deputy

Commissioner has assisted in verifying the status of ownership on lands to be acquired

following the request from the PMO. The ownership can be ascertained with the use of

cadastral maps that show the subproject area boundaries marked on lots that would be

affected. The LLRO identified the Affected Persons who have The LLRO identified the

Affected Persons, those whose applications are being processed in their office, and those

who have lease agreement with any government agency and/or legitimate land owners. Such

assistance will be very useful for PIUs in knowing the APs that shall receive compensation for

the land. Status of land acquisition in UGIIP-2 up to May 2015 is given in table-4.1.

3.5 Compliance of Indigenous Peoples Safeguard

Safeguard Requirements 3 outlines the requirements that borrowers/clients are

required to meet in delivering Indigenous Peoples safeguards to projects supported by ADB.

It specifies the requirements pertaining to

Undertaking the social impact assessment and planning process;

Preparing social impact assessment reports and planning documents;

Disclosing information and undertaking consultation, including ascertaining

consent of affected Indigenous Peoples community to selected project

activities;

Establishing a grievance mechanism; and

Monitoring and reporting.

UGIIP-II is being implemented as a sector loan and originally covered 35 pourashavas

(secondary towns) that was later increased to cover 47 pourashavas during implementation.

Among the districts where these 47 pourashavas are located, possibility of affecting

indigenous people occurs in Khagrachari, Banadarban and Mymensing districts. However, it

may be mentioned that the subprojects under UGIIP-II in these districts are located only

within the urban area and do not impact any cluster/habitation area where indigenous people

reside. However, to ensure that indigenous people are not adversely impacted by the project,

UGIIP-II undertook screening of all the subprojects adopting a screening checklist before start

of any project work in all the 47 pourashavas. Compliance to the above specific requirements

for addressing Indigenous Peoples safeguard issues in the project has been carried out as

under:

3.5.1 Undertaking the social impact assessment and planning process

The planning process for identification of subprojects for inclusion in UGIIP-II followed a

participatory approach with parallel activities: consultations, socioeconomic surveys, and

initiation of Pourashava Development Plan (PDP) by means of open and facilitated ward level

coordination committee (WLCC) and town level coordination committee (TLCC) visioning and

planning meetings where potential schemes in each sector were proposed and discussed.

The visioning and planning workshops included participants from the communities directly

affected by the proposed schemes, members of ward committees, representatives of local

NGOs, and representatives of local government agencies. The PDP process is well

documented for each of the 47 pourashavas under UGIIP-II.



3.5.2 Preparing social impact assessment reports and planning documents

Under UGIIP-II all subprojects were screened for their impact on indigenous people

using a screening checklist Social Assessment Reports was prepared for each sector (roads,

bridges, water supply, low cost sanitation, solid waste management, drainage and other

municipal services such as market, slaughterhouse and bus terminal etc.), subprojects were

categorized as per ADB norm and SRPs were prepared wherever necessary.

3.5.3 Disclosing information and undertaking consultation, including ascertaining

consent of affected Indigenous Peoples community to selected project activities

In addition to the consultations held during project selection as part of PDP, detailed

consultations were held with local community while carrying out screening of the subprojects.

Participants in these consultations included local community representatives, other

community members/local residents including women participants.

3.5.4 Establishing a grievance mechanism

Each participating pourashava has grievance redress committee headed by the

mayor for redressal of any grievances due to the project. Each of the 47 pourashavas has

complaint boxes accessible to all to receive complaints/grievances.

3.5.5 Monitoring and reporting

Monitoring Reports by the safeguard team in the project is being submitted every

month highlighting safeguard issues during the screening, implementation and operation

stages.

3.6 Social Safeguard Unit and Management

Social issues of the project are coordinated by a Safeguard Officer within the PMO,

who ensures that all subprojects, comply with social safeguards. An social team who is part

of the MDS team implement the Social issues and RP Plan from each SRP to ensure that

mitigation measures are provided and protect the environment as intended. Figure 3.2

shows institutional responsibility for implementation of environmental safeguard monitoring at

different level.

SRP shows that most of the mitigation activities are the responsibility of the PIU.

Responsibility for the relevant measures assigned to the PIU and Contractors via the

contracts through which they are appointed, so they legally required taking the necessary

action. There are also some actions that need to be taken by LGED/ PMO in their role as

project proponent, and some actions related to the design that would be implemented by the

MDS consultant

A program of monitoring would be conducted to ensure that all parties take the

specified action to provide the required mitigation, to assess whether the action has

adequately protected the environment, and to determine whether any additional measures



may be necessary. This would be conducted by a qualified Resettlement specialist (RS) from

the MDS. The RS is responsible for all monitoring activities and reporting the results and

conclusions to the social team and recommend remedial action if measures are not being

provided or are not protecting the people interest. Social team will report the same to the

MDS team leader who will in turn inform PMO. PMO is responsible for taking action against

the contractor and the implementing pourashava.

RPs will be required preparation for new subprojects having involuntary resettlement

involving land acquisition and physical or economic displacement of people, if any. The RPs

to be prepared for the new subprojects in accordance with the approved RF and RPs

prepared under the PPTA, as required. The RF already sets out the requirements for

payment, compensation, income restoration and relocation, consultation, participation and

disclosure and the grievance redress mechanism. The PIU and PMO ensures that any

physically or economically displaced persons will be compensated prior to commencement

of civil works of subprojects where applicable, following the approved RP/safeguard

documents to be prepared by the MDS consultants. However, the entitlement matrix included

in the RF prepared and approved by ADB is working as the basis for estimation of

compensation and payment for the affected properties and income loss to the DPs/APs and

which, to be followed during preparation of new RPs for the subprojects requires/involves

land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitations of the affected people are as follows:

3.7 Monitoring during Project Implementation

MDS regional resettlement specialists were placed primarily to assist the PIUs in

monitoring, consultation with affected persons and stakeholders, liaison work with

pourashava, PIU, MDS safeguard unit, contractors and other persons involved in the project.

The regional resettlement specialists visited the pourashavas regularly and submitted

monitoring reports to MDS safeguard unit for compilation and submission of monthly, Bi-

annual and Annual Reports.

Activities related to non-category B social safeguard (such as no objection letters from

those who volunteered their assets and willingly moved out of the subproject sites) are also

monitored by MDS regional resettlement specialists.



Project Orientation and Training

4.1 Training and Orientation Progammes

The Safeguard team of UGIIP II organised orientation cum training programmes on

implementation of safeguard issues during design, construction and operation stage of the

project for the PIU and contractor staffs and Municipal Engineers. To cover all the 47

pourashavas, nine training programmes were planned where participants were invited from

4/5 pourashavas at one regional venue. The status as training programmes conducted by the

safeguard team till 30th November 2014 is provided in table 4.1.

4.2 Environmental and social issues discussed in training programme

The training programmes already conducted at 5 pourashavas covered the following:

Discussed the uniqueness of the UGIIP-II project that has new as well as

rehabilitation projects belonging to various sectors viz. transport, river front

development/ghat development, water supply, drain, solid waste management,

sanitation, municipal facilities encompassing development of markets, street

lighting, city beautification etc. and slum improvement.

Explained the need of safeguard documents and implementation of safeguard

measures in the project in light of the loan covenants, GOB and ADB

requirements..

Discussed the safeguard issues related with various stages of the project and

also presented some case study related to the UGIIP-II to explain the relationship

of safeguard issues and project cycles.

Discussed the various social issues in the participating pourashavas observed /

reported by safeguard team during implementation of the various subprojects.

Mitigation measures suggested and implemented in various pourashavas was

also discussed.

Typical non compliance of safeguard measures observed during implementation

of various subprojects in different pourashavas was also pointed out to the

pourashava representatives. Specific issues discussed included the following:

Design Stage

Necessity to assess appropriateness/feasibility of subprojects recommended for

implementation, identification of affected persons, details of impacts on various public

and private assets, preparation of Resettlement Plan and identification of location

specific mitigation measures.

Consultation with local community, affected persons, pourashava officials,

involvement of women and vulnerable in consultation at various stages of the

project

Documentation of the process during project design including written confirmation

of voluntary donation where ever applicable.

Construction Stage

Child labour cannot be employed in the project

Ensuring access to houses, continuation of traffic and pedestrian movement

during construction.

Adequate care during construction to ensure that structures nearby are not

adversely affected

Overcoming incidental problems that may have been undetected during screening

through consultation with the affected person (s).

Introduction to World Environment Day, its importance and observation themes.

Discussed various environmental health and safety issues in the participating

pourashavas observed / reported during implementation of the various subproject.

Mitigation measures suggested and implemented in various pourashava was

discussed.

Non compliance of the pourashava was also pointed out to the pourashava

representatives. Concerns of PMO on non compliance of Environment health

safety issues in various subprojects were intimated to the pourashava

representatives.

Contract document in light of the environment health and safety issues were also

discussed and it was explained to the contractor and pourashava representatives

that implementation of environment health and safety measures is the contractual

obligation of the contractor.

Consequences of non compliance were also explained to them.

Specific good and bad practices from environmental safeguard point of view in

the participating pourashavas during construction discussed during the training

program included the following:

- Non use of personal protection equipments (PPEs) like helmets, shoes,

gloves etc. by the workers. This is a common problem in all the pourashavas

that were participating in the training. There is generally no provision of

drinking water or emergency first aid at the construction site.

- Poor hygienic conditions, no toilet in the labour camp set up by the contractor

- The issue of slope protection measures for water bodies and proper disposal

of construction waste was discussed as a necessity to protect the road side

water bodies.

Various social and resettlement issues of the project and discussed the

techniques and methods to minimise the social and resettlement issues during

project design and implementation.

Contractor and pourashava representatives raised the issues they are facing

during project selection, design and implementation; adherences to safeguard

measures were discussed in details in the forum and all the participants took part

in the discussion.

MDS Safeguard Specialists appealed to the participating pourashava and

contractors to look in to the safeguard issues and explained them that

implementation of safeguard issues are beneficial for each pourashava.

Lessons Learnt

6.1 Project Selection

Subproject scheme identification began in Phase I of UGIIP-II as part of preparing

the PDP. This process followed a participatory approach with parallel activities:

consultations, socioeconomic surveys, and initiation of Pourashava Development Plan

(PDP) by means of open and facilitated ward level coordination committee (WLCC) and town

level coordination committee (TLCC) visioning and planning meetings where potential

schemes in each sector were proposed and discussed. The PDP included the vision for

Pourashava development and investment plan for sector wise priority schemes based on

this process.

The UGIIP-II programme is implemented over 5 years time period. During the

implementation period pourashavas had elections and in some case there were changes in

elected representatives. Initially schemes included only in the PDP and recommended to the

PMO by the pourashava were taken up for implementation. After the pourashava elections to

accommodate the opinion and priority of changed composition of elected representatives,

schemes originally not in the PDP but later approved in the TLCC meetings were included in

the programme for implementation

6.2 Contract Packaging

Initially, due to the work load and package sizes, the contract packages were worked

out for different sectors separately. Later during Phase III, works in some sectors became

relatively small and to make contract packages of workable size, works of related sectors

viz. roads, road side drains and street lights etc. were brought under same package to

attract good contractors. From social safeguard point view, a comprehensive assessment of

the impacts becomes easier as the assessor looks at a total sector project instead of sub-

sectors there by reducing the scope of any oversight.

6.3 Project Design

The proposals for various schemes from the pourashavas were routed to the design

team of MDS Consultants through the PMO and the reviewed schemes were recommended

to the PMO from design team of MDS consultants. The review by the design team focuses

on the engineering and financial feasibility leaving aside the safeguard reviews in detail. In a

large project like UGIIP II where safeguard team works as a different unit from the

engineering section, it is possible that some of these proposals may get recommended to

the PMO without proper assessment of the social impacts by the engineering team. The

safeguard assessment and categorization of the schemes should be an integral part of the

review template of the MDS team to avoid such possible occurrences.

6



6.4 Public Consultation

During preparation of the PDP, a wide range of stakeholders had the opportunity to

make substantive comments on existing conditions and preferences for infrastructure

improvement. Town residents were exposed to the concept of the project by their direct

involvement and through citizen’s groups and ward committees. The visioning and planning

workshops included participants from the communities directly affected by the proposed

schemes, members of ward committees, representatives of local NGOs, and representatives

of local government agencies.

During conduct of screening for categorisation of schemes, stakeholders from local

community including women, elderly and prominent citizens, school teachers, affected

persons were consulted on the likely impacts due to the project, suggestions for

improvement in the design and smooth implementation of the schemes. During these

consultations, pourashava officials and elected councillors along with the MDS consultants’ social experts were present. In some cases the community was eager to have the proposed

schemes and went to the extent of voluntarily providing land, cutting trees, removing

boundary walls for the project purpose. These consultations could be more effective if prior

intimation of the programme is given to the local community through pourashava.

6.5 Land Acquisition

Land acquisition in the project was required for SWM and Bus terminal schemes in

14 pourashavas. After initial assessment of the site and land requirement, pourashavas sent

their LA proposals to the PMO for administrative approval. Local Land Registration Office

(LLRO) under the Office of the Deputy Commissioner assisted in verifying the status of

ownership on lands to be acquired following the request from the PMO. The LLRO identified

the Affected Persons based on holding numbers on the cadastral maps and those who have

lease agreement with any government agency and/or legitimate land owners. The LA was

carried out as per the provisions under Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property

Ordinance of 1982 (ARIPO).

The RF for the project prescribes replacement cost to the APs losing land

permanently due to the project. To comply with the RF, it has to be ensured that there is

budgetary provision made by the PMO for the amount to be given to the APs as assistance

for replacement value of the acquired land on and above the award cost by the LLRO. This

amount is to be paid through the pourashavas and proof of payment is to be maintained for

independent monitoring. Alternatively pourashavas may opt to consider negotiated land

acquisition/willing seller willing buyer approach to fulfill land requirements of the subprojects

as this procedure is quicker that ARIPO’s. There should be clear procedures laid out in the

RF including participation of prominent citizens of the pourashava/ TLCC members etc. on

negotiated land acquisition and donation of land and/or non-land assets.

6.6 Documentation of voluntary donation process

During subproject screening and public consultations, most often the local community

and affected persons volunteered for donating land and/or non-land assets and expressed

full cooperation during implementation of the proposed subprojects. There was no clear cut



procedure in the RF for documenting the voluntary donation process. MDS consultants

developed a format for obtaining written confirmation from the affected persons. The written

confirmation documents of voluntary donation were also countersigned by the ward

councillors and other pourashava officials and became part of the Social Safeguard

Assessment (SSA) Reports that were submitted to the PMO.

6.7 Payment of Compensation/Assistance to APs

Compensation/assistance was paid to the APs for land and/or non-land assets.

Compensation for loss of land was paid as per the award from LLRO. For loss of non-land

assets viz. trees, structural loss of kiosks/small shops etc. assistance to APs as identified in

the Short Resettlement Plan (SRP), were paid by the pourashava. There was confusion on

the source of fund (PMO/Pourashava/project contractor) for payment of these assistances.

This assistance amount is part of the project cost and there should be clear procedures laid

out for including these costs as identified in the SRP in the overall project cost while

approving the subprojects.

6.8 Grievance Redress

The project adopted participatory approach that involved stakeholder consultation at

various levels for selection of priority subprojects, there by inviting reducing the scope for

grievance on subprojects taken up for implementation. However, during construction, there

were grievances regarding the contractors’ viz. transgression to private land and sometimes demolishing private structures, use of poor quality construction materials by the contractors,

non-provision of temporary access to houses etc. The RF outlined formation of GRCs at

different levels to address these grievances; pourashava being the nodal institution to

constitute the committees. Formation of committees to address grievances at local level

(ward level) will be more effective in this regard.

6.9 Institutional Arrangement

PMO at the head quarter level coordinates the safeguard compliance aspects in the

project. Initially during phase 2 implementation, it had a designated officer to oversee and

coordinate with MDS consultants as well as the pourashavas on both environmental and

social safeguard compliances. Subsequently, during phase 3 implementation the number of

staffs in the PMO reduced and coordination of safeguard aspects were carried out at the PD

and DPD level who are vested with other important administrative responsibilities. It is

recommended that the designated official be positioned till the end of the project as the

programme is continued as UGIIP III and lessons learnt from implementation of UGIIP II

would provide important inputs for successful implementation of UGIIP III.

6.10 Monitoring during Implementation

Random periodic monitoring of social safeguard compliances was carried out by

MDS consultant’s social safeguard experts. The location of the project pourashavas are

spread all over the country. Initially during phase II implementation Regional Social

Safeguard Experts were in place and monitoring of safeguard activities was carried out

every month in all the regions. Subsequently, during phase 3 implementation manpower



deployment in the project was reviewed and social safeguard experts were stationed at the

head quarter. The monitoring activities continued but suffered owing to frequent political

disturbances and difficulties in movement to pourashavas located at peripheral areas. It

would be better to continue with the regional positioning of the social experts for monitoring

purposes.

6.11 Logistical Support for Monitoring

A large project like UGIIP 2 that had in its ambit 35 and 47 pourashavas in phase 2

and phase 3 respectively spread all over the country and had 16 social and environmental

safeguard experts in the safeguard unit (2 International, 2 National and 12 Regional experts)

did not have the support of a dedicated transport for safeguard monitoring. Although the

logistical support in place was in the form of budgetary allocation, the fund gets utilised for

various types of other monitoring viz. quality assurance, administrative issues etc. It is

recommended that in a large project like UGIIP 2 there should be a dedicated transport for

safeguard monitoring.

6.12 Orientation and Training

Although capacity building of various stakeholders was part of a separate

consultancy assignment, MDS consultants conducted workshops at regional level for

pourashava staff and contractors’ personnel. The workshops focussed on orienting the participants on safeguard compliances during implementation. Conduct of the workshops

should be linked to the schedule of award of the subprojects. There is a possibility that new

contractors not involved in earlier phases of the project would be inducted in to the project

and training programmes should be repeated in each phase of the project to cover all the

contractors.

6.13 Studies and Feedbacks

The safeguard team visited various pourashavas for monitoring of the safeguard

compliances and had discussion on various project aspects with the pourashava senior

officials including the Mayor, Pourashava Secretary and Executive Engineer etc. They also

interacted with the contractors and their field personnel on the safeguard compliance issues

during project execution. Some of the views expressed by the participants are summarised

below:

Mr.Khalid Hossain,Mayor,Madaripur Pouashava

UGIIP II project is an innovative project and

sets precedence for future urban

infrastructure development projects in

Bangladesh. The selection procedure of

subprojects were sound and had vision for

pourashava infrastructure development

Subprojects selected under the project

entail long term benefits, sound selection

criteria to identify priority projects through

direct participation of local community



Priority needs of equipments are different for different pourashavas. The

equipments purchased under the project could be more beneficial to the

pourashava if initial discussions were held and their opinions were incorporated.

To bring in more transparency, it may be worthwhile to introduce electronic

tendering system

It will be easier to monitor environmental safeguard compliances if the project

cost includes some budget for the workers accommodation at site, PPEs,

provision of emergency health care facilities like first aid box etc.

Need more budget/allotment for the maintenance of the completed works under

the project.

Appreciated the support received from MDS consultants and the Municipal

Engineer.

Mr. Zakir Hossain, Executive Engineer, Madaripur Pourashava

Pourashava engineers do not have the

capability to prepare technical documents for

certain types of subprojects. It may be better

if local LGED office can provide some

support in this matter.

Some training was given by the Capacity

Building Consultants. More encouragement

needs to be provided to mid-level and junior

pourashava engineers

Although the present ME of MDS consultants have been performing well in

monitoring of the works under implementation, future projects should consider to

engaged adequately experienced engineers to help the pourashava at the

design stage.

Mr.Afzal Hossain,Mayor, Jhalokati Pourashava

Local communities are happy with the

schemes undertaken by UGIIP-2.They have

come to know from CBOs about the theme

and objective of the project. UGIIP-2 has

provided the platform to plan infrastructure

development in a comprehensive manner.

Due to the project, pourashava has been

able to undertake some urgent infrastructure

improvement works to fulfil public demand

Monitoring by MDS Consultants and PMO staff for quality assurance and

adherence to construction schedule has been a regular practice. It would be

better if a schedule programme of monitoring is drawn up right in the beginning

of the implementation and shared with the pourashava as well the contractors.

The Mayor got the opportunity for some external training that widened his vision

for better infrastructure planning and management. He would be undertaking a

tree plantation scheme along the improved roads soon.



The project has built awareness among citizens to pay for the services like water

& electricity, and property tax etc. This has improved financial health of the

pourashava.

Priority requirements in all sectors could not be taken up under the project due to

limited funds. The unfulfilled requirement of a solid waste dumping ground and

some new roads are the immediate priorities of the pourashava.

Mr.Rafiqul Islam,Secretary,Barguna Pourashava

UGIIP II has brought in discipline and improved efficiency in revenue collection

for the pourashava. During the last 4 years the financial health of the pourashava

has improved substantially

Under the UGIIP II programme community awareness has been built up to pay

the municipal taxes in time that in return would improve the capabilities of the

pourashava to provide better services to citizens. This is one of the great

successes of UGIIP-2 programme;

Mr. Sahdat Hossain, Mayor, Barguna Poiurashava


schemes undertaken by UGIIP-2.

New infrastructure improvements like roads,

drains etc. and community participation in

project selection have increased. The

awareness level of citizens towards

payment of municipal taxes so that

pourashava can provide better services in

return.

Mr. Jasim Uddin,Executive Engineer, Barguna Pourashava

Activities of the TLCC,WLCC and CBO under

UGIIP II project is very sound;

Electronic tendering system should be

introduced to bring in more transparency, in

the system.

Work packages should be prepared in

manner to attract good contractors. No work

package should be less than Tk 50 lakh

The project is envisaged in a manner where

roles of the PMO and MDS consultants are

critical for the success of the project. It is essential that design and

implementation guidelines, approvals for deployment of contractors, NGOs etc.

are provided to the pourashava in time;

As MEs of MDS consultants are critical links between the pourashava and the

consultants at the head quarter, they should be adequately experienced

engineers to help the pourashava both at the design and implementation stages.



UGIIP II has been a very successful contributor to infrastructure development

and revenue improvement of the pourashava

Mr.Humayun Kabir,Panel Mayor, Kalapara Pourashava.

UGIIP II has introduced the system of

participatory approach for subproject selection

and monitoring during implementation. The

TLCC, WLCC and CBO have contributed

immensely to the smooth implementation of

the project;

Awareness level of citizens on infrastructure

development in pourashava area has

increased substantially.

Revenue collection of the pourashava has increased substantially;

It is essential that design and implementation guidelines from the MDS

consultants and PMO are provided to the pourashava in time.

Allotment of equipments should be as per pourashava requirement viz. some

pourashavas have very narrow roads where heavy rollers may not be used.

Monitoring of physical progress and quality control of works are done by

pourashava engineers. It is prudent that they should also be involved in bill

certification and payment of cheque;

Mr.Abdul Hakim, Executive Engineer, Potuakhali Pourashava


schemes undertaken by UGIIP-2. They have

come to know from CBOs about the theme

and objective of the project. UGIIP-2 has

provided the platform to plan infrastructure

development in a comprehensive manner.

There is a need to increase CBO participation

for improved project planning and

implementation.

First main concern to construction the

drainage system but there is no master plan;

It is essential that design and implementation guidelines, approvals for

deployment of contractors, NGOs etc. are provided to the pourashava in time. In

the absence of such guidelines, a number of important options in the technical

proposal were disallowed without consultation with the pourashava.

Monitoring of physical progress and quality control of works are done by

pourashava engineers. To maintain transparency in the system, it is prudent that

they should also be involved in bill certification and payment of cheque;

Requirement of equipments vary from one pourashava to another. Pourashava

should be consulted before allocation of equipments under the project.



Training programmes organised under the project by Capacity Building

Consultants and MDS Consultants have been very helpful for the pourashava

officials.

Mr.A.K.M Eradad, Mayor,Munshiganj Pouashava

UGIIP II project is an novel project and sets

UGIIP II has been a very successful contributor to infrastructure development

and revenue improvement of the pourashava

Mr. Kh.Akhter Haider, Executive Engineer, Munshiganj Pourashava

To bring in more transparency, it may be

worthwhile to introduce electronic tendering system

Need more budget/allotment for the maintenance of

the completed works under the project.

Appreciated the support received from MDS

consultants and the Municipal Engineer. Future

projects should consider engaging adequately

experienced engineers to help the pourashava at

the design stage and also at the construction stage.

It may be better if local LGED office can provide some support to prepare

technical documents for certain types of subprojects.

Under the UGIIP II programme community awareness has been built up to pay

the municipal taxes in time that in return would improve the capabilities of the

pourashava to provide better services to citizens. This is one of the great

successes of UGIIP-2 programme



CONCLUSION

7.0 Conclusion

UGIIP II (Sector) Project took some innovative approaches towards urban

infrastructure development in project pourashavas viz.

Participatory approach in selection of subprojects &

Formation of Community Based Organisation (CBO) for collection smooth

opinion to selection priority projects and to established channels during

preparation of PDP

Formation of TLCC, WLCC etc. and regular meetings with them for smooth

project implementation

Preparation of Pourashava Development Plan (PDP) including annual

investment plans for priority projects

Negotiated land acquisition/ willing seller willing buyer approach to fulfill land

requirements and voluntary land donation for project activities

Capacity building for municipal revenue generation and infrastructure

management

The participating pourashavas in the programme were mostly of medium size and

the inherent infrastructure deficiency in them encouraged the local communities to visualize

UGIIP II as an opportunity for them and almost in all the subprojects they came forward to

facilitate smooth project implementation. In most of the cases, the local community offered to

voluntarily contribute land and other assets viz. trees, other structures like boundary wall etc.

that are likely to be affected by the project. The project being funded by the Asian

Development Bank, KfW and GIZ, MDS consultants had to develop a mechanism to

encompass local community’s desire and also to comply with the Bank’s safeguard policies. Thus, a documentation of the voluntary donation process was developed and incorporated in

the Social Assessment Reports.

The lessons learnt on various aspects of the project including selection, design,

procurement and implementation highlights the need for inclusion of feedbacks from project

stakeholders in future panning of urban development and infrastructure development

projects.
