1. Background

Nepal Earthquake of April 2015 and subsequent aftershocks including of May 2015, caused wide spread destruction of residential houses, heritage sites, water supply system, government building, rural road, health posts etc. in many districts. Dolakha is one of the worst earthquake affected district. According to National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) source, the total number of houses damaged in district is 58,388 of which 56553 are fully damaged and 1835 partially damaged. Dolakha district is administratively divided into 7 Rural Municipality and 2 municipalities (former: 48 VDCs & 2 Municipalities). The total population residing in the district is about 186,557 in 45,688 households (HH) with an average HH size of 4.11 The female population (99554) in the districts is higher than that of male population (87003). The sex ratio of the district is 85.47 (CBS, 2012).

Government of Nepal has selected Dolakha district as one of the three districts to be supported under the World Bank funded Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project (EHRP). The main objective of the EHRP is to restore earthquake-affected houses with multi-hazard resistant core housing units in targeted districts (Nuwakot, Dolakha and Dhading districts) and to enhance the government's ability to improve long-term disaster resilience. The project has four components: (1) Improved Housing Reconstruction, (2) Disaster Risk Management Systems, (3) Project Implementation Support and (4) Contingency Emergency Response

2. Scope of EHRP

EHRP supports only reconstruction of owners built houses. Government, through EHRP, provides grants to households for construction of residential houses following ‘owner-driven’ housing construction model.

EHRP approach includes:

• Beneficiary households will build their houses on their own land. Thus, land acquisition and resettlement is not envisaged under the project.

• Residential houses will be small and constructed by the beneficiary household themselves using EHRP's design criteria.

• Not all the houses will be constructed at the same time. Beneficiary households are expected to build their houses on their own pace.

• No contractors will be used for construction works. Households will have option to hire skilled and unskilled laborers as needed.

• In Nepal, community members also come together to help each other to build their houses and community help is also provided to the vulnerable households.

• General awareness/orientation on building earthquake resilient houses, environment and social safeguards and “Build Back Better Opportunity” measures are embedded in the project design. Accordingly, government has developed the EHRP program to support the affected households. This is described in the following paragraph (Government’s overall approach for earthquake disaster recovery in Nepal).

• EHRP (housing component) does not support reconstruction of heritage/cultural sites, schools and other physical and social infrastructure and services.

Government’s overall approach for earthquake disaster recovery in Nepal includes:


DL-PIU, Dolakha 2

• Skilled-training (mason, carpentry, plumbing, electrical) as a part of overall strategies are being provided by Department of Urban Development and Building Construction (DUDBC) in coordination with other line agencies and NGOs/INGOs. All interested community members and beneficiaries including those from vulnerable groups can take the training. NRA has already finalized the earthquake resilient house construction design parameters. Based on the design parameter DUDBC engineer verifies earthquake resilient house reconstruction and beneficiaries are entitled to receive the payments in different tranches.

• Government recognizes the need for supplementary top-up financial assistance worth Rs 50,000 for vulnerable households which could be in the form of materials and labor support among others. This supplementary financial support will be provided by partner organizations1

• Housing construction support of Rs 25,000 will also be extended as part of housing grant to promote sanitations and renewable energy (including solar power, Improved Cooking Stoves (ICS) or bio-gas etc. As such, the sanitation part of the settlement is likely to improve. However, this cash support is conditional subject to the construction of toilet or installation of alternative energy provision by the beneficiary households.

. Currently, the government is preparing the guideline for vulnerable support package to the affected households by partner organizations.

3. Sub Project (Settlements) Environmental and Social Screening was done at settlement level. Under EHRP, -a settlement or sub project is defined based on a combination of following criteria: administrative boundary (such as a ward, or a former VDC), name of the village/place (such as Tole)/ community, natural or topographical boundary, and contiguity. It is to be noted that the former Village Development Committees (VDCs) and Municipalities are restructured as Rural Municipality and Urban Municipality according to new restructuring under the federalism of Nepal.

DL-PIU, Dolakha 3

The total number of eligible HHs considered as beneficiaries identified from National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) for “Nepal Earthquake 2015”, are 551 HHs in 8 settlements of Bhimeshwor Municipality-3 i.e. former BM-1 cluster (Tarthali, Pakha Gautam Tole, Khaidal, Saharpa, Purano Bazzar, Bitch Bazzar Charighyang, Dhadkharka Anaathlaya, Deurali Chisapani).

4. Social and Environmental Screening and its Objectives

ESMF requires Environmental and Social screening of each subproject/ settlement. The objectives of Screenings are:

• To identify potential environmental and social issues/risks (physical, biological, social–cultural specific to the area) related to the subprojects and its activities,

• To identify the need to obtain any regulatory clearances like for clearing/felling of trees from Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC),for approval of quarry sites from local government (District Coordination Committee (DCC)/Municipality/ Rural Municipality) etc,

• To check if the proposed location and activity meets the exclusion criteria, • To establish the need to carry out any further investigation/survey/ assessment for preparation

of safeguard document like ESMPs, Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), Vulnerable Community Development Plan (VCDP), or any specific study and to provide guidance regarding environmental and social requirements and steps that needs to be taken for addressing identified issues, and

• To explore opportunities for creating linkage for enhancing benefits, building better and synergy.

5. Methodology

• Desk study: Documents such as district profile, former VDC profile, CBS publication and publication of line agencies at district level and other project related reports were reviewed. Besides, topographic maps of 1:25000 scale and regional geological map including Google earth map were used as references for the overview of the sub project area.

• Field visit and consultation: An elaborated Environmental and Social screening checklist was used (Annex- 2) for recording information. Walkover survey for recording information was also carried out at settlement level. Free, prior and informed consultation with beneficiaries and local informants was undertaken from 01 April-20 May, 2017. During the consultations, they were informed about the project support provisions and information on socioeconomic setting including physical and biological features. Discussions were also held with district and local sectorial agencies including District Technical Office (DTO), ward secretary of rural municipality, communities’ groups- CFUGs and CBO active in sub project area.

• Further consultations and discussions were held with and among EHRP Consultants; consultant engineers from Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Local Governance and Community Development Programme (LGCDP) Social Mobilizers

6. Findings, Issues and Recommendations

6.1 Tarthali Settlement • The environmental and social impact identified

from the reconstruction activity in this settlement is envisaged as minimal or low and no significant adverse impact is foreseen.

• The screening checklist (See Annex-2.1) demonstrates that there are not any significant environmental and social issues to be identified.

• Construction materials such as timber, stone have to be either purchased from local market (i.e. Charikot) or brought from DCC approved quarry sites (From the Tamakoshi River at the confluence of Gopi Khola and Tamakoshi river).

• Local people can also harvest the timber from Khorthali Community Forest and timber remaining within the limit of allowed government relaxation quantity quota.

• The finding indicates that each owner manages his/her solid waste on their own. However, there would be aggregated impacts related to solid waste from the construction of 116 houses. It requires corresponding mitigation procedures to properly handle and dispose the solid waste during and after construction.

• There are no known physical culture sensitive area and any area/ spot in and around the settlement that is known for critical natural habitat for wildlife/ bird and wildlife movement and renowned habitats for aquatic life. Shiva temple located within the settlement is not damaged during the earthquake.

• Settlement is accessible through Charikot-Singati highway. • There is no any land acquisition and involuntary resettlement issues in this settlement. • Out of total 116 HHs, settlement is dominated by Brahmin and Chhetri.
