Land Acquisition and Resettlement Issues

So far, six sub-projects have been identified where land acquisition is required. The

CCDB is already in the process of making the Resettlement Plan based on the

detailed designs.

Also, 4 Sub-projects have been identified for Markets where some compensation for

relocation of business and loss of income is required to be paid to few affected persons. The

CCDB is preparing the estimation of such compensation through JVC and PVAT. The

recommended compensation will be paid by the LGED to the affected persons soon after the

completion of the prescribed processes.

Overview CCRIP Major achievements up to June 2015

The major achievements during this period were: (further details will be given under each

Consultant’s report):

1 Purpose of the Report and Land Acquisition & Resettlement Framework

The ADB Public Communications Policy (PCP 2011) refers the Safeguard Policy Statement

(SPS 2009) with respect to information disclosure related to project safeguard

documentation states that ADB shall post on its website the safeguard documents submitted

by the borrower and/or client. These safeguard documents include Resettlement &

Indigenous Peoples Plan (RP & IPP), and the social safeguard and environmental

monitoring reports.

To comply with ADB, the CCRIP, LGED shall submit Semi-Annual monitoring report

periodically over the total implementation period of the project, covering Land Acquisition &

Resettlement issues. The CCRIP commenced on 01 January 2013, but starting of actual

works was delayed due to hiring of consultants in 27 January 2014.

The current report is the Semi-Annual Social Safeguard Monitoring Report prepared to

comply with the loan covenants covering the period from project commencement to June

2015 in a cumulative process. This report covers resettlement and social safeguard

monitoring results to comply with the spirit of ADB policy to “enhance stakeholders trust” in

and ability to engage with ADB, and thereby increase the development impact [of projects]”

in which disclosure of safeguard monitoring is a prominent aspect.

The Land Acquisition & Resettlement Framework (LARF) expresses the Government’s

commitment to avoid any negative impacts due to the project interventions or to mitigate them

ensuring that the DPs are able to maintain or improve their livelihood at the end of the project.

The document incorporates a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Entitlement Matrix consistent

with this project. The basic objectives of the LARF are to: (i) guide the EA for compensating

project Affected People properly, (ii) to serve as a binding document to ensure DPs will be

assisted and paid compensation, and (iii) to provide direction preparing, implementing and

monitoring sub-project RPs.

The Executing Agency (EA) is responsible for ensuring the preparation and implementation of

Resettlement Plans (RPs) consistent with this LARF. The LARF is a formally agreed document

between the Government and ADB. Gaps between national law and ADB policy are identified

and bridging measures are included in the Entitlement Matrix along with major types of losses

and the corresponding nature and scope of entitlements in accordance with GoB’s LAR and

ADB’s SPS 2009 relating to safeguard requirements for the project. Where the entitlement

matrix does not cover a particular impact, it can be enhanced in the resettlement plans based

on the findings of the socio-economic assessment and detailed census survey. Standards

described will not be lowered but can be enhanced in the subproject RPs as required.

The improvement works for the subprojects to be selected under different components of the

project are expected to have a limited impact as they will be carried out mostly on existing

road alignments or market footprints. The main impacts is expected to arise under the road

component in the form of land acquisition, some relocation of houses/shops/businesses, and

removal of trees with some related income loss. Other components such as improvements to

markets, and improvement of cyclone shelters will either not require any additional land or

will rely on unallocated largely unoccupied Government-owned (khas) land.

Precise identification of impacts of proposed improvements to all road subprojects is being

done during the detail design and implementation stage of the project. During project

formulation it was presumed that there will be only a small number of land acquisition and

resettlement impacts on each subproject.

6

Social Safeguard / Resettlement Categorization

ADB's classification system

Prior to civil works implementation, all the subprojects selected for construction or development are to be Screened and Classified using ADB's classification system as follows:

• Category-A: Subprojects proposed for construction or development, will fall under this category, if, it caused a significant involuntary resettlement impacts with a physical displacement of 200 or more persons from their residences, or 200 or more persons lose 10% or more of their productive or income generating assets, or more persons or 200 or more persons experience a combination of both.

• Category-B: Any proposed subproject that includes involuntary resettlement impacts but are not deemed significant considering loss of shelter/houses or productive or income generating assets will be considered for category B.

• Category-C: A proposed subproject that has no involuntary resettlement impact.

Subprojects Categorization under CCRIP

Although there will be only a small number of land acquisition and resettlement impacts on

each subproject, it is expected that the roads component as a whole, comprising up to 100

individual subprojects, will have more than 200 people suffering significant involuntary

resettlement. It is also noted that ADB SPS 2009, SR2 Para 5 states :

“Resettlement is considered involuntary when displaced individuals or communities do not

have the right to refuse land acquisition that results in displacement”.

Accordingly the project is deemed to be in Category A for resettlement.

2 Introduction - Background and Rationale

The CCRIP aims to provide climate resilience measures that deliver a degree of climate

proofing commensurate with both the task that structures have to perform and the level of

acceptable risk as well as being sensibly within available budgets. Each of the project

components, roads; growth centers, markets; and cyclone shelters have their specific tasks

and levels of acceptable risk to the impacts of SLR, high wind, increasing temperature and

increasing likelihood of severe cyclone events. The underpinning thrust is ensuring that all

structures are constructed within a strong framework of enforced appropriate specifications

and an as-built quality audit. “Climate-proofing” measures include enhanced resilience to

present climate effects plus forecast future climate change impacts.

The impact of the project will be reduced poverty in the rural coastal districts vulnerable to

climate change and increased safety of the population during extreme climatic events. The

outcome will be enhanced climate resilience of coastal infrastructure in 12 rural coastal

districts benefiting the poor and women. This will be achieved through the following project

outputs:

• improved road connectivity;

• improved market services; and

• improved climate capacity and protection including increased availability of climate

disaster shelters, improved access to shelters and improved facilities of existing

climate disaster shelters.

7

Output 1 - Improved Road Connectivity

The project will upgrade 130 km of upazila roads, 174 km of union roads, and 233 km of

village roads, providing year-round connectivity between agricultural production areas and

markets and to the other parts of the country. 3,050 meters of bridges/culverts will

constructed or upgraded. The road upgrading works will involve widening and raising of

embankments, with suitable slope protection against erosion and wave action; and

reconstruction or improvement of existing earthen, Herring Bone Brick, and bituminous and

concrete surfaced road sections to appropriate “climate-resilient” standards. Specific

adaptation measures to increase climate resilience have been considered for: earthworks;

pavement; and drainage. These measures include constructing the road crest levels to

600mm above the maximum normal monsoon flood level, taking account of effective Sea

Level Rise (SLR) during the next 20 years; widening the road carriageways to accommodate

forecast traffic volumes over the next 20 years; embankment protection primarily by means

of a combination of turf and shrubs, with additional geotechnical measures where there is

high risk of active erosion; and special measures adjacent to structures together with

increased cross drainage.

The road output will consist of over 100 sub-projects undertaken throughout the project area.

Alignment and cross-section design will be optimized to minimize impacts on existing

structures and land acquisition.

Output 2 - Improved Market Services

Upgraded growth centers and large markets: 88 markets (ranging from growth centre

markets to large rural markets) will be improved under the project. The market improvements

will include (where relevant) paved trading areas, sheds, water supply system, drainage

facilities, sanitation facilities, and market offices. Generally it is expected that resettlement

impacts will be negligible and land acquisition will not be necessary. In some cases, where

additional land is required it is intended that it would be unencumbered government (khas)

land.

Upgraded village markets and collection points: The project will also improve 186 community

markets and 11 women’s markets sections will be established in existing community

markets. This subcomponent will build/improve physical markets (common shed, fish shed,

open paved/raised area, women section, toilet block, internal drainage etc), build ‘commodity

collection points, and build 37 boat landing platforms (ghats). Generally it is expected that

resettlement impacts for the improved market services output will be negligible and land

acquisition will not be necessary. In some cases, where additional land is required it is

intended that it would be unencumbered government (khas) land.

8

Output 3 - Enhanced climate change adaptation capacity

The project will strengthen the capability of LGED staff and local government units through

training and initiation of a knowledge management system, with particular emphasis on

incorporating climate resilience and adaptation measures during the design, implementation

and maintenance of rural infrastructure assets. The project will also enhance knowledge

management for climate change

The project will construct or extend around 15 multipurpose cyclone shelters; improve about

10 existing cyclone shelters and upgrade around 15 km of cyclone shelter access tracks.

Designs will take account of future sea level rise and other adjusted design requirements

due to climate change effects. A provisional sum is allocated to provide for construction of

killas in selected locations where there is a demonstrated long-term need, and sufficient land

is readily available adjacent to a new or existing cyclone shelter. Generally for existing

cyclone shelters it is expected that resettlement impacts will be negligible and land

acquisition will not be necessary. For new cyclone shelters, where land is required it is

intended that it will be unencumbered government (khas) land. Access tracks are intended to

be improved without need for land acquisition.

3 Institutional Arrangements

The LGED under the Ministry of LGRD & C, Rural Development Division is the Executing

Agency (EA) responsible for implementing the RPs. LGED has established a Project

Management Unit (PMU) for the Project, headed by a Project Director (PD) who is

responsible for the overall execution of the Project. The EA also has set up a Sub-projects

Management Office (SMOs) headed by the Executive Engineer of the concerned district under

the PMU. The SMOs will prepare land acquisition (LA) plan for the land to be acquired with

the assistance from consultants for each subproject found with land acquisition &

resettlement impacts and shall submit to concern DC. M/S Christian Commission for

Development in Bangladesh (CCDP), an experienced implementing NGO (INGO) has been

hired by LGED to assist EA in implementation of resettlement program. To expedite the

process, the RP implementing NGO will assist the DC office and EA in the process of land

acquisition. A Management Support Consultant (MSC) engaged by project are assisting to

carry out a range of activities including implementing and monitoring the safeguards aspects

of the project. The Resettlement Specialist (RS) of the MSC is responsible for arranging or

carrying out the activities of preparation/updating/finalizing the RPs for the subprojects with

IR impacts based on information from the detailed engineering design documentation

prepared by the Design & Supervision Consultant (DSC).

The CCRIP project organisation is shown below:

Under the project LGED has set up a Project Management Office, (PMO) based in Dhaka. In

the project area are three Regional Project Offices (RPO) at Barisal, Madaripur and Khulna

who will coordinate the physical works at the districts (Upazilas/Thanas) in their regions.

Beside that there will be 12 PIU’s at district level by the respective Executive Engineer and

supported by the Upazila Engineers.

10

Affected Communities/ Project Affected Persons/Women’s Group/Entitled Person Representatives

To assist LGED in achieving these objectives and physical targets there are four consultancy

services:

• Design and Supervision Consultants (DSC). HIFAB International (Sweden) has Lead

Firm of a Joint Venture.

• Management Support Consultants (MSC). HP Gauff (Germany) as the Lead Firm of

a Joint Venture.

• IFAD Individual Consultants

• Implementing NGO (M/S CCDB) for planning and implementation

Appointment of Implementing NGO for Safeguards

The Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) appointed Christian Commission

for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB) for preparation and implementation of Resettlement

Plans (RP) of Coastal Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (CCRIP). An agreement was

signed between the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) and the Christian

Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB) on January 19, 2014. A Letter was

issued by the Project Director, CCRIP indicating Notice to proceed vide Memo No.

LGED/PD/CCRIP/INGO/2013/62/1265 dated 17-02-2014 in connection with the

commencement of the NGO services. Based on the NTP, CCDB activated the Field and

Central offices for NGO services since February 20, 2014 and informed the project authority

vide Ref. No. CCDB / CCRIP/2014/358 dated February 25, 2014.

Initial Screening of Involuntary Resettlement (IR) Impact of Subprojects

The initial step of the resettlement planning is to carry out an inception and screening survey

to identify the intensity of land acquisition and resettlement impacts of an individual

subproject (or group of subprojects) as per ADB’s SPS-2009 by using a standard IR impact

checklist form. The preliminary impact checklist form is included in Annex-. The level of

detail and comprehensiveness of the resettlement plan are commensurate with the

significance of the potential impacts and risks.

Sub-projects will most likely be combined for assessment purposes, so that a multitude of

RPs are not prepared. This will be determined as the project is implemented. Sub-projects

may be grouped by District, phasing or some other rational means, with associated RPs

developed for that group as a whole.

12

Preparation of Resettlement Plans (RP)

RPs in the prescribed ADB format are to be prepared by the Project Management Unit

(PMU) of LGED with assistance from the Management Support Consultant (MSC) supported

by the CCDB and Design & Supervision Consultant (DSC) for any subprojects which will

have land acquisition & resettlement impacts. Preparation of RPs will primarily be

undertaken by the Resettlement Specialist of the MSC. Each RP will be brought to the notice

of the relevant APs/DPs and host communities and any comments will be addressed in

subsequent revisions of the RP. The RP will be prepared in English language, with main

content to be translated in Bangla language and notified to the public (through posters

and/or resettlement booklets). The completed RP will include the census of APs/DPs, and

their entitlements to restore losses, institutional mechanisms and schedules, budgets,

assessment of feasible income restoration mechanisms, avenues for grievance redress, and

the monitoring mechanism. Each RP will be submitted to ADB for clearance prior to award of

any contract relating to the subproject.

Avoidance and Mitigation of Resettlement Impacts

LGED, through the Design & Supervision Consultant (DSC) will optimize the detailed designs

for all road subprojects (without compromising climate resilience or minimum traffic design

standards) to avoid and minimize impacts on existing buildings and land as far as practicable.

Where resettlement impacts are unavoidable, LGED will implement a process of negotiated

settlement (which may include voluntary land donation) with land/property owners following

ADB’s SPS 2009. As refusal to donate land or to enter into a negotiated financial settlement

would necessarily lead to expropriation (in order to retain climate resilience design integrity),

any subproject that entails land acquisition (either through voluntary or involuntary means) or

physical displacement will be subject to a resettlement plan (RP).

Any negotiated settlement will require adequate and meaningful consultation with affected

persons, including those without legal title to assets, with such consultation fully documented.

A negotiated settlement should ensure an adequate and fair price for affected land and/or

other assets i.e replacement cost of the affected properties. The LGED will ensure that these

negotiations with affected persons openly address the risks of asymmetry of information and

bargaining power of the parties involved in such transactions. For this purpose, the LGED will

be required to engaged an independent external party M/S CCDB to document the negotiation

and settlement processes.

In cases requiring negotiation and donation of land, the LGED will ensure that the following

aspects are addressed :

a. Verification and documentation that land required for the project is sold without

coercion;

b. Verification that nobody will be impoverished by the land donation (more than 5% of

total land holding donated will trigger livelihood restitution measures to be specified in

a resettlement plan);

c. Verification that land donation will not displace tenants, if any, from the land;

d. Meaningful consultation has been conducted with all affected persons. Documented

verification of the agreement of affected persons under any sub-project.

e. Separate discussions to be held with women and minority groups as required to

facilitate meaningful participation in the process of obtaining their consent.

13

Overview of Major Safeguard Related Activities - Inception to June, 2015

The project has allotted 311 subprojects of different categories (small, medium and large)

under 12 costal districts of three regions (Barisal, Khulna and Madaripur). 84 subprojects of

IFAD have already been visited again by the field of CCDB in the respective regions. As the

prescribed requirements of LGED, CCDB is in the process of preparing the next DDRs as

well as RAPs. It is hoped that within very short time, CCDB will accomplish the projected

tasks.

The major supports are provided by the ADB (110 Subprojects). Meanwhile, CCDB

completed 84 subprojects of ADB, 20 cyclone shelters from KfW and paid reconnaissance

visits to 84 sites of IFAD.

Acquisition and Resettlement Issues

So far, acquisition of land and resettlement issues are faced for 10 Sub-projects in

three regions. The Indicative Milestones for various activities / processes are listed

in the Table below. The CCDB staff in the respective regions are working to identify

and screening losses and impacts, preparation of RP and Grievance Redressal in

respect of the identified sub-projects.

Six Sub-projects have been identified where land acquisition is required. The CCDB

is already in the process of making the Resettlement Plan based on the detailed

designs. Also, 4 Sub-projects have been identified for Markets where some compensation

for relocation of business and loss of income is required to be paid to few affected persons.

The CCDB is preparing the estimation of such compensation through JVC and PVAT. The

recommended compensation will be paid by the LGED to the affected persons soon after the

completion of the prescribed processes. However, the indicative milestones for key activities

in respect of the assessment, implementation of RPs are mentioned in the Table.

Due Diligence Report

Following on from the initial checklist, Due Diligence Reports have been prepared by the

Implementing NGO (CCDB) to the PMO.

Way Forward – Proposed Activities

• Preparation of questionnaire for Socio-Economic Survey of the Affected People

• Pre testing of questionnaire for affected People

• Preparation of Resettlement Plan

• Formation of Different Committees for resettlement activity in the field

Grievance Redressal Mechanism

The project established grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of

AP’s concern, complaints and grievance about the project safeguards performance of the

subproject. If anybody losses assets, livelihoods or any things else due to subproject but it

does not properly address who can claim to Grievance Redress Committee for proper

compensation. The CCDB will play the vital role in the grievance redress process shown in

Flow Chart below.

Figure : Grievance Redress Flow Chart

Development of CMIS

CCDB developed MIS for determining the losses, disbursing the compensation

payment and affected households. The data generated by the field offices are used

as technical inputs of the MIS. The MIS Specialist and the Database Manager have

been developing the MIS at the central office of Dhaka.

Formation of Focus Group

The Focus Groups are formed with the affected persons who received notices under

different sections. These notices were served to them for collecting compensation

from DC offices. Focus Group consists of about 20 members headed by a Chairman

and assisted by a Secretary nominated by the members themselves. The Chairman

conducts the meetings. The Secretary convenes the meetings preferably once in

two months. Records the minutes of the meetings are maintained by the Secretary.

The Resettlement Workers of CCDB facilitate the meetings by providing necessary

information and technical assistance. In addition, CCDB is starting the formation of

focus group in different subproject sites.

Stakeholders’ Meetings

Since inception CCDB started establishing and closer face to face contact with the

PAPs/ beneficiaries. The Stakeholders / Focus Group meetings is an entry point

where APs / EPs discussed the issues related resettlement, relocation,

compensation, gender, project assistances and grievances. These are APs social

institutions for ventilating resettlement issues services need from time to time.

Distribution of Booklets/Brochures

The Information Booklets (Annex- 3 ) developed by the project in Bangla and other

brochures are being distributed among stakeholders / beneficiaries/ UP Chairman / UP

members of subproject sites at the Focus Group / stakeholders’ meetings. The entitled

persons are addressed with this instrument. Through the booklets / brochures, entitlements

of the EPs are disclosed. The EPs are concerned about their Payment of Compensation

both from the Deputy Commissioner and CCDB / LGED office. The above booklet reflects

detail guidelines how to address their concern. It was common practice that their

entitlements against AG are to be delivered to them immediately after receiving the CCL

from DC office. CCDB will be extended support to them for getting CCL from DC offices.

Gender Development

The gender development is a priority concern in CCRIP because the women EPs or

beneficiaries of 12 coastal districts enjoy low social status in decision-making process and

household financial management. In most cases, they are unable to set agenda for their day

to day lives. They are often denied the right to share their assets and properties. They even

lack of basic IGP skills. In the socio-political affairs and participation in development

activities, they are mostly ignored and sidelined. As a result, they are deprived from getting

equal access to available opportunities and assets. In view of their vulnerability, CCDB has

considered gender equity as a priority area of action.

CCDB made all out efforts to make the women more participative in development action.

Women have been encouraging to sit in the Stakeholders / Focus Group meetings so that

they could articulate their voices alongside with man. The oppression of male over female

and female over male are also discussed in the stakeholder’s meetings upfront. The

attendance in the meetings and their active participation are duly encouraged. However, the

women participation is rather low and needs to be further increased to create awareness

about the project activities.
