International Relief & Development Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund Monitoring Program

National Solidarity Program – Third Party Monitoring Monthly Summary – March 2015 1. Inspections International Relief & Development (IRD) engineers conducted Third Party Monitoring (TPM) inspections of 60 National Solidarity Program (NSP) projects in March, consisting of 55 construction projects, and financial monitoring of five Provincial Management Units (PMU). This month’s financial monitoring took place in the provinces of Farah, Faryab, Ghor, Hilmand, and Paktika. Construction inspections were conducted in the provinces of Badghis, Baghlan, Bamyan, Hirat, Jawzjan, Kabul, Kandahar, Kapisa, Khost, Kunar, Kunduz, Laghman, Logar, Nangarhar, Nimroz, Parwan, Sar-e-Pul, and Takhar. NSP construction projects inspected in March fell within six sectors: education, irrigation, power, rural development, transportation, and water supply and sanitation. Construction was complete at 18 of the sites inspected this month and ongoing at 35; another two projects were graded for design only because their proposal was approved but physical work had not yet commenced. Among inspected projects currently under construction, progress varied from 40-98%. (Figures 1 through 3)

2. Findings 2.1 Construction Monitoring IRD grades all construction projects in three categories - material quality, workmanship quality, and design quality – using a scale of 1 to 5 (1-very poor, 2-poor, 3-average, 4-good, 5-very good). Completed projects are additionally graded in a fourth category - maintenance quality - using the same 5-point scale. The grading system is further defined in Annex A. Excluding maintenance, which was only assessed on the 18 completed projects, the average overall grade of the 55 construction sites inspected in March was 3.54 exclusive of two sites where construction activities had not begun. Broken down by category, the average grade for materials was 3.54, workmanship 3.48, and design 3.62. The 18 completed projects, which were additionally graded for maintenance, had an average score of 3.01 in this fourth category. Thirty-five of the 37 incomplete projects had a written operations and maintenance (O&M) plan. Of those CDCs without a formal O&M plan, none of them had a functional maintenance mechanism in place. Four projects inspected in March achieved grades higher than 4.00, two were rated 4.00, 44 were above average overall (higher than 3.00 but less than 4.00), one was average (3.00), and four were below average (<3.00). Four projects were graded above 4.00 in quality of materials, seven were graded 4.00, 35 were above average, three average, and two were too early to evaluate. With regards to workmanship, three projects achieved above 4.00, four were graded 4.00, 38 projects were graded above average, four average, four below average, and two at too early a stage to evaluate. For design quality, one was graded above 4.00, 15 were rated 4.00, 30 were above average, seven average, and two below average. Of the 18 completed construction projects that received a maintenance grade, one was graded 4.00, five above average, eight average, and four were below average. This month, no projects were found to have completely failed due to a lack of maintenance or other deficiencies. A complete list of project grades is provided in Annex B. Of the six projects graded 4.00 or above in March, three were school buildings, one canal, and one protection wall; one of these six, the protection wall, was graded for design only as construciton had not yet begun. The 44 projects graded above average included one canal, 14 community centers, five culverts, four water wells, one footbridge, one micro hydro power plant, four pathways, seven protection/retaining walls, one school boundary wall, two tertiary roads, three water supply netowrks, one irrigation water reservoir, and one hand pump installation (graded for design only). A community center received the only grade of 3.00, and the four projects receiving below average grades were a community center, a retaining wall, a shallow well project, and an irrigation water reservoir. Representatives from the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) accompanied IRD on 87 % of site visits this month, compared to 81% in February, 85% in January, 93% in December, 100% in November and 86% in the same month of last year (March 2014). A number of key findings were noted by IRD this month. Of the 55 project sites inspected in March, construction of 50 did not commence on the planned start date; the difference between planned and actual start dates varied from 30 to 882 days. Of the 18 completed sites inspected in March, none were completed on the planned completion date, delays in construction completion varied from 24 to 676 days.

2.2 Fiduciary Monitoring All five PMU’s inspected for financial regularities in March (Farah, Faryab, Ghor, Hilmand, and Paktika) were able to provide all requisite documentation, photographs of which have been included in the inspection reports.

3. Observations 3.1 Notable Successes The highest graded project inspected in March, a secondary school building (IRD-NS-71472) in Kabul Province, received grades of 4.30 for both materials and workmanship and 4.50 for design resulting in an overall rating of 4.37. Facilitated by SDO, this school building consists of five classrooms, and two administrative rooms, built with a total budget of 3,300,000 AFN (including 10% community contribution). Construction began in May 2014 and was 80% complete in March, including all structural work, installation of wood ceiling beams and carpentry work. Interior/exterior painting, installation of bulbs, and window glass remains to be done. (Photos 1 and 2) The second highest graded project inspected in March, a primary school building (IRD-NS-73269) in Nangarhar Province, received a grade of 4.20 for materials, 2.30 for workmanship, and 4.00 for design, giving it an overall grade of 4.17. Facilitated by BRAC, the one story building consists of six classrooms and three administration rooms. With a total budget of 3,333,333 AFN (including 10% community contribution), construction began in December 2013 and was completed in October 2014. Per site inspection, construction was completed according to design and specifications, and a boundary wall, which was not specified in the approved scope of work was also constructed by the community using their own funds. The building was being used as a multi-purpose facility; in addition to serving as a

school it is used for community gatherings and as a conference center for Community Development Council (CDC) meetings. An O&M plan was developed which stated each benefitting family would pay 22 AFN per year to maintain the project, but ultimately the facility was turned over to the Ministry of Education (MoE) and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by NSP and MoE assigned the responsibility of O&M to MoE. (Photos 3 and 4) The third highest rated project inspected this month was a canal and protection wall (IRD-NS-84753) in Laghman Province which was given a grade of 4.00 in all categories (material quality, workmanship quality, and design). Facilitated by MADERA, construction of a 401 meter protection wall, and 259 meters of stone masonry canal was being built with a budget of 2,498,246 AFN (including 10% community contribution), and was 93% complete in March. As stated above, the designed length of the canal was 259 meters, which was to be built in two sections: one measuring 215 meters long and 60 centimeters wide, and the other 44 meters long with a width of 80 centimeters. On inspection it was noted that, without PMU approval, the canal had been constructed a total of 272 meters in length, but narrower than designed with a width of 50 centimeters. An O&M plan was available; which stated that a specified local resident (selected by the CDC) was to serve as a maintenance person tasked with complete maintenance of the project, and each household in the community is to supply one pound of wheat per month to be sold, the profits of which provide the salary for the maintenance worker. (Photos 5 and 6) 3.2 Notable Deficiencies The lowest graded project inspected in March was a hand dug shallow well project (IRD-NS-81239) in Bamyan Province facilitated by UN Habitat. Receiving a grade of 2.10 for both materials and workmanship, and 3.00 for design it had an overall grade of 2.57. The scope of work includes two shallow wells, each 13 meters deep and 1 meter in diameter, installation of hand pumps and required accessories. The budget of 144,444 AFN includes a 10% community contribution. Upon site inspection, both wells were installed and

operational, but observed to be constructed with poor quality materials and workmanship, which did not meet design and specifications. Indus hand pumps which were specified in the BoQ were replaced with inferior quality Kabul pumps. Aprons, top rings, and top covers were also observed to be of substandard quality. An initial well was dug to a depth of 16 meters but failed to find water. The resulting shaft was not backfilled or covered, creating a potential risk of someone falling down the shaft, particularly children. (Photos 7 and 8) The second lowest graded project inspected in March was a retaining wall, culvert and road graveling (IRD-NS-71014) project in Parwan Province, facilitated by UN Habitat. Receiving a grade of 2.89 for materials, 2.71 for workmanship, and 3.04 for design, its overall average was 2.88. Construction of 16 slab culverts, 13 pipe culverts (12 inch diameter steel), 626 meters of retaining wall in several sections, and 748 meters of road graveling with two layers each of 10 centimeter thickness was the scope of work. In March 60% of construction activities were complete, including 10 slab culverts (minor work remaining), 250 meters of road graveling (the first 10 centimeter layer), and 510 meters of retaining wall. Typical culvert design was used but they were constructed with poor quality materials and workmanship. (Photos 9 and 10)

3.3 Facilitating Partners In March, six projects achieved overall grades of 4.00 or above, ranging from 4.00 to 4.37. The facilitators of these projects were MADERA, SDO, BRAC and UN Habitat. The lowest graded project, which received a grade of 2.57, was implemented by UN Habitat. The average grade of all projects implemented by each FP is outlined in the adjacent table. (Figure 4)

4. Social Safeguards, Environment and Safety, and Gender 4.1 Social Safeguards Land was required for 34 out of the 55 NSP construction projects inspected this month, which amounted to 11.75 jeribs. Land was donated by private individuals for 20 of these projects, and land transaction documents were available for 18 out of the 20 sites. FPs had a safeguard focal point at 53 sites, and safeguard training had been provided to 47 communities. Of the 55 sites, 47 were providing a monthly report to the NSP PMU office. Social safeguards were documented at only 13 of the 55 projects inspected this month. The Environmental and Social Mitigation Plan (ESMP) was available at 34 of the 55 sites. A Community Participatory Monitoring (CPM) committee was established at 42 out of the 55 CDCs. (Figure 6) Six grievances were reported at two sites visited in March, per FP and CDC information all had been resolved, but none were recorded. Most of the disclosed grievances were regarding construction materials and workmanship. 4.2 Environment and Safety Four life safety issues were observed in March. Of the 37 projects under construction, first aid kits and/or personal protective equipment was not available at any project site. No safety training was provided and

no safety signs were observed by IRD monitors. See Annex C for more details. Of the 55 sites inspected this month no construction camps (on-site housing for laborers) had been established. There were no indications of fuel waste, or other potential risks of water contamination observed at any sites this reporting period. 4.3 Gender Forty-eight CDCs included female members on the council (87%), with an average of 7.92 women for every 9.63 men in a combined-gender CDCs.

Figure 6: Community Participatory Monitoring established at CDCs

Forty-four CDCs included females in office positions, of which 42 CDCs had two females as deputy head of CDC and secretary, and the remaining two CDCs had one female as deputy head of the CDC.

A record of CDC meetings held in the previous three months was available at 38 projects, which averaged four meetings during that timeframe; one reported 10, and six others recorded six meetings during this three-month period. Forty-five projects documented female participation in the project identification process, which is close to the normal percentage of female participation when compared to previous findings.

FPs reported that female social mobilizers were working on 50 of the 55 construction projects inspected. These social mobilizers made a total of 167 visits to 48 project sites during the previous three months. Male social mobilizers made 225 visits to 51 sites during the previous three months.

5. Feedback Quality and design deviations, as well as maintenance related issues observed in March are provided in Annexes C, D and E. The deviations listed in Annex E do not include those observed prior to January 2015, which have been provided in previous monthly summaries and continue to be provided directly to the Ministry on a regular basis. The detailed deviation log, along with photos, was shared with NSP in early March. IRD attended the last technical coordination meeting with MRRD/NSP and FPs on February 25, 2015 at the NSP MRRD office, and the minutes were shared in the February monthly summary report. March’s meeting is not yet scheduled as of the writing of this report.

6. Recommendations and Future Plans The following recommendations are based on findings from this month’s NSP TPM inspections, many of which build upon previously reported deficiencies. NSP should consider including a protective concrete layer atop the water membrane (IZOGAM) during the

design of roof construction. Throughout the year IRD found the majority of community centers and school buildings to have flat roofs which did not have a protective layer on the top of IZOGAM in their design. Placing IZOGAM without a protective layer can cause damage of the water membrane due to cold weather and direct sunlight. One such example encountered this month was a community center in Badghis Province (IRD-NS-69898).

Inadequate mortar is often observed in stone masonry work. Specifications state that 25-35% of the total volume of stone masonry should be mortar, but this minimum is frequently not met, as was the case at a retaining wall construction project inspected this month in Kapisa Province (IRD-NS-71847).

Of the 55 projects inspected in March, 50 were either behind schedule or not completed by the planned completion date. The main reasons for construction delays cited by FPs and CDCs include delay of payments to the CDC, revision of the sub-project design and/or scope of work, agricultural work, and cold weather. NSP should try to ensure that construction activities adhere to the work schedule.

7. Targets and Deliverables The Year IV terms of reference require 800 inspection reports to be submitted including 732 construction project inspections and 68 provincial fiduciary inspections (two in each province). As of the end of March, IRD has completed 33 initial fiduciary inspections, and 358 construction inspections. A scheduled inspection of the Daikundi PMU in March had to be cancelled due to unavailability of flights; it has since been rescheduled for inspection in April.

Project Highlight

Shakardara District, Kabul Province IRD-NS-71472

Kokcheen Village School

Kokcheen Village has a sizable population of 550 families, but up until five years ago the village lacked any permanent educational facilities. Secondary education was available to older children in community center conference rooms rented with tuition fees, but no primary level education was available for children under the age of 10 in the community.

In recent years in an attempt to expand the education opportunities to younger children, community elders arranged rental of a private home in the village to be used as a school building. The Ministry of Education formally recognized it as a primary school and children attended classes up to third grade. This temporary arrangement was an improvement, but the house was inadequate to serve as school facilities long-term, especially in light of an increasing student poulation.

In 2013, the National Solidarity Program (NSP) offered Kokcheen Village funding for a development project of their choosing and a permanent primary school building was declared their number one priority. Land for the school was donated free of charge by the nephew of the first president of Afghanistan, Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan.

The school construction is presently 65% complete, but is already functional with classes held daily open to attendance by both boys and girls in separate shifts. When complete, the school will have a total of five classrooms.

Mr. Rahman tells IRD that the people of Kokcheen are very pleased that they have been granted the school facilities, enabling them to provide every child of this community access to basic education.

Three decades of conflict had a profound impact on Afghanistan’s education system and infrastructure with many villages lacking dedicated school buildings in the aftermath. Kokcheen Village, in the Shakardara District of Kabul Province is one such place. Mr. Fazil Rahman, the head of the Kokcheen Community Development Council (CDC) recently spoke with a visiting International Relief & Development (IRD) engineer about recent advancements in the education infrastructure in his community, made feasible by the donations of both international and domestic donors.

NSP-10


Annex A - Construction Quality Grading System

Workmanship: 5. Very good: The workmanship meets all the NSP specifications. The project is sustainable over the entire design life and there is 100% functionality. 4. Good: The workmanship meets most NSP specifications with minor deviations in workmanship quality that has no impact on the sustainability and the project has at least 90% functionality. 3. Average: The workmanship quality meets the major specifications, but deviations have caused reduced sustainability (no longer the design life) and decreased functionality between 70% and 90%. 2. Poor: The workmanship quality deviates significantly from the specifications. There is marked impact on the sustainability of the project and significant decrease in the functionality to between 40% and 70%. 1. Very Poor: The project barely follows any specifications. The sustainability of the project is zero as there ski already n need for serous reworking; functionality is below 40%.

Materials: 5. Very good: The materials meet all the NSP specifications. The project is sustainable over the entire design life and there is 100% functionality. 4. Good: The materials quality meets most NSP specifications with minor deviations in workmanship quality that has no impact on the sustainability and the project has at least 90% functionality. 3. Average: The materials quality meets the major specifications, but deviations have caused reduced sustainability (no longer the design life) and decreased functionality between 70% and 90%. 2. Poor: The materials quality deviates significantly from the specifications. There is marked impact on the sustainability of the project and significant decrease in the functionality to between 40% and 70%. 1. Very Poor: The project barely follows any specifications. The sustainability of the project is zero as there is already a need for serious reworking; functionality is below 40%.

Design: 5. Very Good: The design was created with full consideration of the site requirements. The design is fully appropriate and allows for 100% of intended functionality and design life. 4. Good: The design was created with consideration of most of the site requirements, however small considerations could have reduced wear and tear and lowered maintenance requirements. Intended functionality is between 90% and 100% and design life was not impacted. 3. Average: The design considered only the major site requirements. Some of the design was inappropriate for the site and caused the project to have between 70% and 90% of intended functionality and a shorter design life. 2. Poor: The design barely considered any site requirements. Much of the design is inappropriate and severely lowers functionality to between 40% and 70%. Sustainability is negatively impacted and the project will require far more maintenance than otherwise would be necessary. 1. Very poor: The design does not consider any of the site requirements. The design is inappropriate so as to make the project unsustainable and non-functional (below 40%). Portions of the design may have not been feasibly implemented. If the project is currently working, it required serious deviations from the design in order to do so.

NSP-11


Maintenance: 5. Very Good: Maintenance is being conducted, and repairs are being made, sufficient to keep functionality of the project at 100% for the design life. 4. Good: Maintenance and repairs are being conducted sufficient to keep functionality of the project between 90% and 100% for the design life. 3. Average: Maintenance and repairs are being conducted sufficient to keep functionality of the project between 70% and 90% for the design life. 2. Poor: Maintenance and repair are barely being conducted, with resultant reduction in functionality of the project to between 40% and 70%. Sustainability is negatively impacted and the project will require far more maintenance than otherwise would be necessary. 1. Very poor: Maintenance is not being conducted or is not considered, and functionality of the project is less than 40% because of lack of attention to this activity.
