Edo SWtte WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Background

The urban environment is a living organism. The people react with itand in turn it reacts with the people. It is our mirror with which wereflects our beings. To this end, Ismail Serageldin of the EnvironmentDepartment, World Bank said "to look at our cities is to see into ourfuture."

What the present and the future of our cities hold for us differs fromplace to place, and time to time. Federico Mayor, a past DirectorGeneral, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and CulturalOrganisations (UNESCO), warned that by the year 2035, "three billionmore people will be living in the urban settlements that exist today."

The portion of Nigeria in this is captured by the World Watch Institutewith its reports that: by 2015 the population of Lagos may rise to nearly25 million people, therefore moving from the world's thirteenth largestcity to the third largest. The fate of Benin City (a medium city), EdoState Nigeria is encased in the report of The World Bank, which statedthat the major cities are growing at the rates of between 10 - 15%while the medium cities are growing at 7 - 10% per annum.

Urbanization and its unsustainable management is not without itsexternalities. The World Bank lamented that: "one billion people -mostly in developing countries - do not have access to clean water; 1.7billion people do not have access to sanitation; and 2 - 3 million ofchildren die annually because of diseases associated vith this lack ofwater and sanitation. To this situation, we are adding about 90 millionpeople to the global population every year - again, mostly indeveloping countries". This presents a tremendous challenge tohumanity.

Nigeria as a developing country has her own share of these urbanpathologies. Though statistics available are not site-specific, but whatis available is equally frightening. The Federal Office of Statistics(FOS), Nigeria reported that "urban poverty in Nigeria has increasedfrom 17% in 1980 to 58% in 1996. Between 1980 - 85, it rose from17.6% to 37.8%. By 1996, 19 million people were poor. Out of thisfigure about 11 million people were estimated to be moderately poor,and 8 million people, the core poor - an increase from 3.1% to 25.2%in the fifteen years between 1980 - 1995. The dichotomy betweenurban and rural poverty rates in Nigeria is small - 58% of urbandwellers live in poverty as compared to 60% in rural areas".

Edo State WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 2

Equally, the plethora of problems facing urban slum dwellers is multi-dimensional. They lack the basic needs of good nutrition, potablewater, fuel, shelter, medical care, schooling, and sanitation. Thissituation has created some undesirable environmental, social,economic, and institutional dislocations in our urban slumneighbourhoods. Our urban slum environments are daily confrontedwith social disequilibrium and its fallouts of social maladies.Unemployment, early sex, prostitution, verbal hostilities and shaming,vandalism, pollution, environmental decay, graffiti, high crime rates andviolence of extra-ordinary proportions, and social inequality are othersocial 'brown fields' found in our urban slums.

The response of urban management strategies to urban slum is nowbecoming people-centred. Urban planners and renewers areincreasingly calling for a fast shift from the old paradigm of managingurban slum by a 'technical fix' of blighted neighbourhoods. To this end,Lewis Mumford in his book, The City in History captured this school ofthought by asserting that uthe best economy of a city is the care andculture of men".

This in effect means total clearance of urban slum, putting a fresh coatof paint to blighted neighbourhoods, or gentrification (the process bywhich higher-income families take over formerly poor neighbourhoods)cannot be a panacea to urban slum management.

In another vein, urban slum govemance without participation of thepeople will make urban slum to reoccur while established localeconomies, environmental systems and socio-spatial relationships areput paid to. Inclusiveness or participation with the essence ofempowerment has tightened the umbilical cord that integrates all thenormative goals of sustainable urban slum management. Themessage of the 2nd United Nations Conference on Human Settlements(Habitat 11) reinforced this philosophy, and it is very resounding.Among others, the Message is to influence the climate of local, stateand national opinions and offer the pedestal for change in values,behaviour, attitudes and approaches to our living spaces, at the localgovernment levels in particular. It is to help catapult our urbanmanagement from the confine of financial recklessness andinstitutional inertia, top-down planning mechanisms, rigid operation andmaintenance of urban infrastructure and services, to the realm ofbottom-up decision-making, decentralization and broad-basedparticipation. This hopefully is expected to break the culture ofexclusiveness and marginalization, which invariably creates andreinforces the vicious cycle of urban poverty.

AIM Consultants Ltd. champions these new thoughts, because ourexperience has revealed that urban slums after "technical fixation"(without participation of the people) often become worse centers ofdelinquency, vandalisation and general social hopelessness than theslum they were meant to replace.

Edo State WB Communiy*Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 3

It is against this background that the Federal Government of Nigeria,with support from The World Bank through the Federal Ministry ofFinance, is carrying out a Community-Based Urban DevelopmentProject in some selected settlements in Benin City, Edo State.

1.2 Project Description

The Project is a Community-Based Urban Development of blightedneighbourhoods. In Edo State, Benin City has been chosen for therenewal of three settlements at Aduwawa, Ogbe Quarters and NewBenin Central Area. Aduwawa has a population of 64,207 and it is inlkpoba-Okha Local Govemment. Ogbe Quarters and New BeninCentral Area are in Oredo Local Government with population of 40,524and 89,048, respectively. The area of Aduwawa is 41.2 hectares,Ogbe 24.74 hectares, and New Benin 49.5 hectares.

The project would finance the following project components:

(a) Upgradinq or Delivery of Basic Municipal Infrastructure

The project is to provide or rehabilitate basic municipalinfrastructure and services necessary to improve the health andenvironmental conditions of the people in the areas ofintervention. The areas of priorities for investments in theselected places are informed by the needs assessment carriedout by the State Government and Local Governments inpartnership with the communities. The sub-projectscomponents needed to be upgraded are roads, drainage,footpath, water supply, electricity, health care, wastemanagement, education, and sanitation.

The stakeholders in the project have their financialcommitments. The State Governments, Local Governments,and communities will contribute 20% of the costs of investmentsas counterpart funders, with respective shares of each to bedetermined by the States while IDA (International DevelopmentAssociation) will contribute 80% of physical investment costs.

(ii) An Uparading Fund

An upgrading fund to be assessed by the State based oncompetitiveness, demand driven, and on first come first servedbasis, will be established to support sub-project proposals in thesecond phase of the Project.

To aid the preparation of proposals to the Fund, States willdevelop technical criteria for selecting cities in their "poor"regions to identify where investments are most critically needed.


The criteria of selection will be based on three studies:UNICEF's key social statistics 2000; findings from the corewelfare indicators Questionnaire 2000; findings from existingpoverty data analyzed by enumeration area, which the Statestatistics departments will undertake.

The PIU (Project Implementation Unit) through the CDO(Community Development Officer) of the Local Governmentchannels communication campaigns to the communities toenlighten them about the project's concepts, eligibility criteria foraccessing the fund, methodology for preparing proposals,counterpart fund and operation and maintenance (O&M)requirements. The eligibility criteria for accessing the Fund willbe:

(a) high population density (at least 200 people per hectare);

(b) the poorest community in the city;

(c) availability of counterpart fund from all stakeholders;

(d) maximum cost of sub-project not exceeding $2.0 million;

(e) per capita cost of investments not exceeding $20.00;

(f) no involuntary settlements under the sub-projectproposal; and

(g) completion of at least 10% of the physical civil works inthe first phase of the project.

(iii) Training and Capacity Building

The project will also embrace training and capacity building.The State will assign a Human Resources Development Officer(HRDO) to coordinate the capacity-building activities, while thescope of training will involve the PIU (Project ImplementationUnit) members, HRDOs, Local Government CommunityDevelopment Officers, and the CTC (Community TechnicalCommittee) members.

The trainings will be on short, medium, and longer term. Withinthe confine of the short-term training, three officers from the PIUwill be trained. They are the team leaders of the PIU, thefinancial officer or the internal auditors, and the procurementofficer. Their training would focus on procurement, financialmanagement, and internal auditing.

Edo Sfate WB Community-Based Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 5

The medium-term training for PIU staff will involve training in civilworks contract management, participatory and community-based development, monitoring and quality control of works.

The long-term training would include training in technical,financial and management skills, environmental managementand planning and participatory planning techniques for PIU Staff,HRDOs, LG Community Development Officers, as well as CTCmembers. This is to enable and facilitate partnerships thatgenerate appropriate management structures, revenuecollection mechanisms, and operation and maintenance.

(iv) Implementation Support, and Monitoring and Evaluation

The project would make for project implementation support,monitoring and evaluation. Some basic office equipments andfacilities like vehicles, financial management support for 3months/year for 5 years will be provided to assist in theestablishment of the PIU. Moreso, some support and facilittieswill also be extended to the Federal Ministries of Finance andWorks and Housing. This is to empower them to supervise andmonitor project activities, develop TORs and engage consultantsfor impact evaluations, monitoring and evaluation, and developpolicy guidelines on access to basic municipal services for urbanpopulations.

(v) HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaign

The project would also involve the development and executionof an appropriate AIDS Education Information and CommunitionCampaign in the project sites. The CDOs in each LocalGovernment Area would partner with the State HealthDepartment and the PIU to implement the campaigns.

(vi) Proiect Preparation Facility (PPF)

To enable project preparation to commence, A PPF (ProjectPreparation Fund) of US$1.50 million would be made availableto the FGN as advance funds from the project. This will bereimbursed from project funds when the project becomeseffective.

Institutional and policy restructuring is also within the purview ofthe project. To enhance this, the project will entail the financialaudits of all participating LGs and SGs in order to ascertain theirfinancial robustness. Among other objectives, it will fosterproject inclusiveness, affordability, replicability, andsustainability whereby participating institutions will determinetheir own capacity to provide and maintain infrastructure withinbudget confines.

Edo State WB CommunityBased Development Project - Environmental Impact Assessment 6

The project is expected to generate some tangible andintangible benefits. The physical environmental conditions ofthe urban poor settlements will be improved, the LGs, the PIU,and other stakeholders will have their capacity built as they willbe mobilized, organised and trained to partner with localgovernments in project design. Also, local artisans, contractors,and consulting firms will be mobilized to offer private servicedelivery.

Institutional arrangement for the project would involve the LG,the PSC (Project Steering Committee) and the CTC.

The State Project Steering Committee (PSC) is to provideoverall policy guidance and the formulation of over-archingdirectives and decision-making. The PlUs (ProjectImplementation Unit) is to ac-t as the technical secretariat for thePSC, while the CTC (Community Technical Committee) is toliase with the PIU on a continual basis in order to get updatedwith project progress through the Community DevelopmentOfficer of the Local Govemment.

1.3 Project Goal and Objectives

The goal of the Edo State Community-Based Urban DevelopmentProject is to upgrade the infrastructure deficiencies in poor settlementsthrough plural planning or citizen participation that empowers thestakeholders to undertake replicable approaches to the provision ofbasic services in a demand responsive and affordable manner.

1.3.1 Objectives

(i) Establishment of partnerships between communities and theirLGs so that sub-project proposals are developed jointly by them;

(ii) The delivery of basic urban services in poor urban settlements;and

(iii) The demonstration of viable approaches to service delivery thatwill enable LGs to move away from a culture of total financialdependency, even for recurrent expenditures for the operationsand maintenance of infrastructure.

The approaches to meeting these goals and objectives are to:

(i) Collect the necessary engineering, survey and technical dataand prepare detailed designs. of the identified civil works sub-projects which are for water supply, footpaths, roads, drainages,sanitation, schools, clinic and solid waste management in theproject areas;

(ii) Arrange sub-projects in appropriate bidding packages;

(iii) Prepare tender documentation suitable for national orintemational as appropriate, competitive bidding for the sub-projects packages;

(iv) Prepare a maintenance strategy and program, sample annualmaintenance plans and sample quarterly maintenancerequirement schedules for each sub-project outlined in (i) above.Prepare modalities for the implementation, administration andmanagement of 0 & M in each project area;

(v) Prepare detailed environmental impact assessment for thehighest priority sub-project; and

(vi) Submit Final Report as it concerns the Terms of Reference ofthe Project.

1.3.2 Project Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

In meeting objective (v) of the project, the EIA component of it wasdesigned to meet the underlisted objectives, viz:

(i) Assess the current laws, policies, institutional arrangements andprocedures relating to environmental review of municipal-levelinfrastructure investments;

(ii) Assess the capacity of the local governments to address thepotential environmental issues related to the investmentssupported by the project;

(iii) Propose a simple set of procedures that can be included in theproject to screen the proposed investments for their potentialenvironmental impacts and to ensure that they are designed andimplemented with appropriate mitigation measures; and

(iv) To propose technical assistance and training needed toimplement the procedures under the project.

1.3.3 Scope of Tasks for the EIA

The assessment is mostly on strategic assessment, therefore thefollowing tasks hereunder will be carried out:

(i) Review the project concept document and other details.

(ii) Assess Nigeria's current laws, intemational conventions thathave been ratified by the country, policies, institutionalarrangements and procedure relating to environmental review ofmunicipal-level infrastructure investments.


(iii) Assess the generic capacity of the communities, which willparticipate in the project to address the potential environmentaland social impact of the investments to be carried out/provided.

(iv) Assess the capacity of environmental protection agency toprovide technical support/oversight of the future screening andreview process.

(v) Propose a simple set of procedures that can be included in theproject to screen the proposed investments for their potentialenvironmental and social impacts.

(vi) Propose technical assistance and training to implement theprocedures in the project with estimated costs.

(vii) Prepare a draft report, and

(viii) Submit a final report.

2.3 A Simple Set of Procedures to Screen Environmental Impacts

The environmental and social impact checklist of the sub-projectcomponents are presented in tables 2.4.1 - 2.4.7.

The single largest sub-project component that is likely to generate themost environmental and social impact during project implementation isroads, drainage and footpath

As indicated in table 2.4.1, during roads, drainage and footpathconstruction, the major visible negative impact is on road usage.

To screen roads, drainage and footpath construction for their potentialenvironmental and social impacts, the following are recommended:

(i) Aduwawa

* Road, drainage and footpath construction should startfrom College Road. This is the second longest road, butthe busiest and the most strategically located. During theconstruction, traffic should be diverted to Eweka Roadand other roads.

Eweka Road should be the second road to beconstructed after College Road. This is the longeststreet, but less strategic

* Uyigue and Idehe Roads should be constructed afterEweka Road while Ahanor, Emovon, Etehi and UnityRoads should follow accordingly.

These simple sets of procedures will ensure that minimalnegative impacts are encountered by road users during roadconstruction. The likely advent of dry season will reduce anyevent of flooding.

(ii) New Benin

The longest road to be rehabilitated in New Benin is MarinaStreet, which is 590m. Other roads ranges between 180-400m.In order to minimize negative impact on road users,Ofumwegbe, Lawani, Yoruba, Efehi, and Nosayaba Streetsshould be rehabilitated first. These roads are very strategic asthey link directly to New Lagos Road.

The second phase of road construction should commence byconstructing lyaba, Izuwa, Idupaye, Lawani (by Police Station)and Okundaye Streets


The third phase of road construction should shift to UpperLawani, Marina, Ameze, Ezonwenrenren, and Guobadia Lane.

The fourth phase should move to 1st and 2nd Abumere, andOviawe Street.

The pattern of road usage in the Community is mostly heavyalong the major roads, and the households in the Communityhas very few cars and traffic volumes.

(iii) Ogbe Quarters

Six roads are to be rehabilitated in Ogbe Quarters. The longestof these roads is Ahoran Street which is about 680m. The roadlike others are minor roads with very light traffic.

However, the first phase of road construction should start fromAhoran, followed by Iwogun, Alaka, and New Ogunaogbe Street.Abehe and Old Ogunanogbe Streets should be rehabilitated inthe second phase.

Other simple set of procedures that can assist in screening thepotential environmental and social impacts are listed hereunder:

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION ANDRECOMMENDATION


3.0 SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

3.1 Project and its Location

The community-based urban development projects, CBUDPsconsist of provision and/or roads, drainage and footpathupgrading of basic municipal infrastructure, namely, watersupply, electric power supply and street lighting, wastemanagement, public toilets, health care clinics and schoolrehabilitation and blocks of classrooms (at Aduwawa only).

* The CBUDPs will be implemented in Aduwawa, New BeninCentral and Ogbe Communities in Benin City, Edo State.

* The CBUDPs priorites are based on the fundings of a socio-economic survey of the needs assessments of the selected low-income communities participating in the project.

* The project is to provide for or rehabilitate certain basicmunicipal infrastructure and services necessary to improve thehealth and environmental conditions of the people in theselected urban settlements.

* The interventions are not the same in each settlement. There isa total of 8 roads in Aduwawa, 20 in New Benin Central and 6 inOgbe to be asphalted with rectangular side drains.

* There will be the provision of boreholes in Aduwawa, provisionof 2 motorised boreholes in New Benin Central, and at Ogbeincluding the necessary accessories.

* Refuse disposal vehicles will be purchased for each communityto enhance best waste management practices.

* Aduwawa and New Benin Central will each be provided with ahealth clinic, equipped with modern facilities and an ambulance.

* 500KVA transformers will be purchased to boost electric powersupply to each community and street lighting provided.

* At Aduwawa Grammar School, some blocks of classrooms willbe rehabilitated.


3.2 Environmental Baseline Conditions

The existing biophysical environment considered included BeninCity as an ancient city surrounded by a 15'h century moat andvery old mud wall houses with corrugated roofing sheets,topography, climate and meteorology and soil. The land slopesgently eastwards from Ogbe to New Benin Central and steeplyfrom New Benin to lkpoba River. Aduwawa, on the eastern partof the river slopes gently westwards to lkpoba river. Heavydownpour and thunderstorms lasting an hour occur frequently inthe raining season. The soils are lateritic, reddish. The majorenvironmental problems are severe erosion and flooding.

The communities are low income urban areas in Benin Citymunicipality, with poor roads, no drains, no reliable watersupply, inadequate electric power supply, no street lighting,improper waste management practice, no health clinic, andpublic toilets. Sanitation is poor and there is a breakdown ofexisting infrastructure/services. Hence the need for theinterventions.

3.3 Significant Associated and Potential Environmental Impacts

* The significant environmental impacts were ascertained from achecklist of selected environmental indicators and a projectactivities. These are shown in tables 4.1. to 4.7.

(a) In all, the interventions will have the major impact oftransforming the communities into clean, healthiermodern urban suburbs with the provision of reliablepotable water, good motorable roads, flowing drains,reliable refuse collection, health clinics, public toilets,more stable electricity, street lighting and in the case ofAduwawa extra classroom blocks and upgraded sportsfacility. The CBUDPs will also have the followingbeneficial impacts.

* generate employment and income

* create rapid communication and ease oftransportation

* reduce flooding and soil erosion

* eliminate darkness of the streets at night

* increase in housing due to the influx of people intothe transformed communities.


* Eliminate breeding sites for mosquitoes

Reduce incidences of water borne diseases

* Improve general sanitation

* Promote higher life expectancy

* Reduction of agony, time spent and frustration withlack of infrastructure

* Reduce medical costs

(b) The major expected adverse impacts will be:

* noise and dust generation and temporary trafficobstruction at construction phases

* disposal of spoils from digging may blight the landscape

* borrow from Laterite excavations for roads may becomebreeding grounds for mosquitoes

* increase in crime rate.

* Open drains may become sites for dumping of refuse

* Facilities may become overstretched and becomeinadequate due to expected influx of people into the area.

* Possible conflicts at standpipes.

3.4 Mitigations

Measures to reduce or eliminate the adverse impacts wererecommended.

3.5 Environmental Management Plan, EMP

For the life span of the CBUDPs mitigation measures for significantadverse impacts were recommended. The institutions that will beresponsible for the EMP and their responsibilities were stated in tabularform. Compliance monitoring will be the responsibilities of therecommended Environmental Planing and Management Unit of theState Ministry of Environment.


3.6 Conclusion and Recommendation

* The interventions will bring some measurable poverty alleviationin the selected low-income/urban poor areas in Aduwawa, NewBenin Central and Ogbe suburbs.

* The adverse environmental impacts associated with theCBUDPs are minor and easily mitigated.

* There are no legal, administrative/institutional, natural orbiophysical and socio-economic environmental reasons whichwill delay or prevent implementation of the projects as proposed;

* Immediate embarking of the CBUDPs is recommended.
