EXECUTIVE SUMMARYIntroduction

The original Project, (NUWSRP-II) with an IDA credit of US$ 200 million (IDA Credit No. 4086-UNI), was approved on July 15, 2005 in order to address some of the above deficiencies in water supply services. The Project's Development Objectives were to (i) improve reliability of water supply produced by the water treatment works in Lagos State; (ii) increase access to piped water networks in four cities in Cross River State; and (iii) improve commercial viability of the urban water utilities in Participating States. The project was made up of four components: (a) rehabilitation and systems expansion, (b) public private partnership development, (c) service sustainability and project management, (iv) institutional development and policy reform.

As a result of the successful implementation of NUWSRP 2 in the 2 states, the FGN is requesting an additional financing of US$150 million from the International Development Association (IDA) for Cross River state. The proposed additional credit will help finance the scaling up of the project activities in Cross River state by supporting the construction of 3 additional water supply systems in Itigidi, Obubra and Okpoma towns in the northern part of the state. A project extension for 3 years is proposed to cover the above activities.

Part of the civil work under the proposed project is expected to encroach on privately owned assets (land, farm, house, economic trees, etc). This will result to involuntary displacement and disturbance of access to means of livelihoods, and therefore, triggering the World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement).

The works proposed under the project sub-component shall include:- Construction of Intake and Weir. Construction of Pumping Stations. Construction of Water Treatment Plants. Construction of Ground Level Reservoir. Construction of Elevated Water Tanks. Supply and laying of water supply pipes to cover approximately over 100km

of sizes ranging from OD 75mm – OD 500mm including accessories etc. Construction of about 130 water kiosk and supply and installation of house

connection, including pipes, accessories, conventional credit water meters with automatic meter reading (AMR) capabilities for approximately 1,500 house connection.

As a result of the construction of the facilities, some of the structures, assets and means of livelihoods under the right of way (RoW) of the facility, or located on lands proposed for use for this project shall be affected and the owners involuntarily displaced.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BackgroundThe original Project, (NUWSRP-II) with an IDA credit of US$ 200 million (IDA Credit No. 4086-UNI), was approved on July 15, 2005 in order to address some of the above deficiencies in water supply services. The Project's Development Objectives were to (i) improve reliability of water supply produced by the water treatment works in Lagos State; (ii) increase access to piped water networks in four cities in Cross River State; and (iii) improve commercial viability of the urban water utilities in Participating States. The project was made up of four components: (a) rehabilitation and systems expansion, (b) public private partnership development, (c) service sustainability and project management, (iv) institutional development and policy reform.

As a result of the successful implementation of NUWSRP 2 in the 2 states, the FGN is requesting an additional financing of US$150 million from the International Development Association (IDA) for Cross River state. The proposed additional credit will help finance the scaling up of the project activities in Cross River state by supporting the construction of 3 additional water supply systems in Itigidi, Obubra and Okpoma towns in the northern part of the state. A project extension for 3 years is proposed to cover the above activities.

Part of the civil work under the proposed project is expected to encroach on privately owned assets (land, farm, house, economic trees, etc). This will result to involuntary displacement and disturbance of access to means of livelihoods, and therefore, triggering the World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement) and the International Financial Corporation’s (IFC) Performance Standard 5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement.

1.2 Involuntary Resettlement

This policy covers direct economic and social impacts that both result from the World Bank-assisted investment projects, and are caused by:

The involuntary taking of land resulting in:(i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) loss of assets or access to assets, or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the

affected persons must move to another location; or not. The involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and

protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the displaced persons. The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) report discusses the applicability of this policy in detail.

1.2.1 World Bank’s Safeguards Policy (OP 4.12)The core requirements of OP 4.12 are as follows:

Avoid or minimize involuntary resettlement where feasible, exploring all viable alternative project designs.

Earthguards Limited: Sustainable Development Consultants 12

Page 13: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA - World Bankdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/pt/800641468097740841/RP... · Web viewSimilarly, thorough field survey was undertaken to establish the nature

Assist project affected persons in improving their former living standards, income earning capacity, and production levels, or at least in restoring them back to the former status

Encourage community participation in planning and implementing resettlement.

Provide assistance to affected people regardless of the legality of land tenure.

Under the World Bank Safeguard Policy, OP/BP 4.12, a project is classified as full Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) when the number of people to be displaced involuntarily is from 200 persons and above and/or when the land take involves 10 percent of the total holding. On the contrary, if the number of people to be displaced or affected is less than 200 persons, and land take is less than 10 percent of the total holding, it advocates for Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP).

In this project, major land take are either publicly owned or acquired from communities of project influence with the understanding that the project is to serve the overall public interest. Similarly, thorough field survey was undertaken to establish the nature of land ownership and ownership of other assets/structures to be affected by the projects civil works (laying of pipes, construction of water treatment plants and other facilities).

The outcome showed that there will be minor impacts, and permanent land-take is less than 10 percent of the total holdings and therefore an ARAP will be prepared.

1.3 Objectives of the Resettlement Action Plan of the Project

This ARAP would provide a plan and rehabilitation of PAP so that their losses would be compensated and their standard of living will at least, be restored to pre-project levels. The ARAP also provides for economic rehabilitation measures so that income earning potentials of individuals is restored to sustain their livelihoods.

The specific objectives of the ARAP are:

To identify persons (individuals or groups) who are affected by the project either by necessary destructions of existing buildings, constructions or by the need to acquire land;

To identify, through consultation, appropriate options for the resettlement and compensation of PAP, which are consistent with Nigeria Laws, World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.12 and

To determine a process for resettlement, compensation and land acquisition, consistent with the project’s objective.

1.4 Approach and Methodology of Social Assessment

Resettlement planning is necessary whenever displacement or relocation occurs as part of project activities. Prior to implementation of the resettlement activities, baseline data is collected and potential impacts are identified and

analyzed. Mitigation measures are then put in place to address negative impacts and compensatory plans are designed and recommended.

Activities conducted include the review of relevant Nigerian regulatory framework and World Bank safeguard policies on resettlement, field surveys, data collection and public consultations/interviews.

Literature Review: This involved reviewing historical and current studies, census data, land use patterns, etc. Much of the literatures reviewed are current and are relevant to the resettlement plan.

Public Consultation: Public consultation included visit to the clan heads, local authorities, local government area of influence and the project affected persons. This usually came before embarking on socio-economic survey in the community. Authorities consulted are listed in appendix 1.

Field Surveys: Detailed field visits were carried out across the communities of project area of influence. The field visits were used to obtain baseline information of the communities including:

o socio-economic aspectso Environmental observations and descriptionso culture and values, o availability and conditions of infrastructure/ amenities, o willingness to pay for the proposed water supply;o Water and soil samples collections/tests

1.5 Major Sub-Activities of the ARAP

In the preparation of the RAP, stakeholders were sensitized of the project. The following have been conducted in doing the project:

Census and socioeconomic survey of the Affected Households; Consultations and discussions with the PAPs; Categorization and valuation of assets to be affected; Preparation of an entitlement matrix detailing the PAPs names, affected

assets and costs; Preparation of a budget and time table for the ARAP.

3. POLICY AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

The following policy and regulatory frameworks guided the preparation of this ARAP:

3.1 World Bank Safeguard Policies

This project is owned by the Cross River State government, and therefore, the World Bank Safeguard Policies are used.

The World Bank has ten (10) Safeguard Policies to reduce or eliminate the adverse negative effects of development projects, and improve decision making. Details on the World Bank Safeguard Policies and the IFC performance standards are presented in ESIA report of this project.

With respect to this report (ARAP), the OP/BP 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement) is applied.The above-mentioned policy is reviewed in section 1.2 of the chapter 1 of this report.

3.2 Nigeria Regulatory Framework

With regards to management of the bio-physical environment throughout Nigeria, the overall responsibility was held by the now defunct Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA), which was absorbed into the Federal Ministry of Environment (FME) in 1999. The State Environmental Protection Agencies or, as the case September be, State Ministries of Environment performs this function at state and local levels.

3.2.1 The Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv)

The Federal Ministry of Environment’s mandate includes the establishment of federal water quality standards and effluent limitations, protection of air and atmospheric quality; protection of the ozone layer; control the discharge of hazardous substances; inter alia and ensures that all major development projects in Nigeria are subject to mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) pursuant to EIA Act. No. 86 (Decree No. 86) of 1992.

As contained in FEPA Acts 58 of 1988 and 59 of 1992. All lands in Nigeria belong to the Federal Government and are entrusted to the State Governors of the respective states to hold in trust for the public and for public interest. In the event of use of land for public interest, the Act specifies as follows:

That the government should resettle and/or compensate occupants of land with Certificate of Occupancy (C of O); or

Issue notice to occupiers of land prior to displacement of land for public project.

In practice, government due not compensate known rightful owners of land/asset when the affected land/assets are located within the right of way of utilities. Rather, the government enforces involuntary displacement by demolition the structures and assets that are located within the land mapped for project.

3.3 Comparison between Land Use Act and World Bank OP 4.12

Table 3.1: Comparism of Nigerian Land Use Act (1978) and World Bank’s OP 4.12

CATEGORY NIGERIAN LAND USE ACT WORLD BANK/IFCLand Owners Cash compensation based

The ARAP for the CRSWBL will be aligned with the World Bank Operational Policy (OP 4.12) which indicates best practices to rehabilitation of livelihoods of people affected by the implementation of the project. Hence, where there are gaps between the Land Use Act (1978) and the World Bank Policy (OP 4.12), in regard to compensation of PAPs, the World Bank’s Policy will apply.

4. VALUATION AND COMPENSATION OF AFFECTED STRUCTURES AND PROPERTY

4.1 IntroductionValuation of assets to be affected by the implementation of the project was conducted using a general principle adopted in the formulation of the compensation valuation which follows the World Bank’s Policy that lost income and asset will be valued at their full replacement cost such that the PAPs should experience no net loss.The asset valuation was conducted by a qualified surveyor based on the current market prices in Cross River State of all affected materials and assets.

4.2 Entitlement PolicyCertified evidence shows that major part of land to be used for the construction of the facility is owned by the government of Cross River State or by the community benefiting from the project. Similarly, the outcome of the preliminary public consultation with the stakeholders, project communities in particular, showed that the communities willingly offered their land communal land to the CRSWBL for the project.

Therefore, project affected persons (PAPs) are mainly those whose structure (residential houses), economic trees and farm/agricultural crops will be displaced. As a result of the rural nature of the project area, laying of pipeline may have no major impact on businesses, houses or means of livelihoods. Minor impacts to be experienced, will be temporal.

As a result, Project Affected Persons (PAPs) would be entitled to the following types of compensation and rehabilitation measures.

4.2.1 PAPs Losing Residential Land and Structures

a) PAPs with legal rights of land use :

The mechanism for compensating loss of residential land and structures will be:

The provision of replacement residential land (house site and garden) of equivalent size, satisfactory to the PAPs or in cash at the replacement cost.

The cash compensation reflecting full replacement cost of the structures without deduction or depreciation for salvaged materials.

b) If the residential land and /or structure is only partially being affected by the project and the remaining residential land is not sufficient to rebuild the residential structure lost in accordance with the prevailing standards, then at the request of the PAPs, the

Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan for Cross River Water Supply Scheme

entire residential land and structure will be acquired at full replacement cost, without depreciation.

All relocated PAPs will be provided with transportation and subsistence allowances as specified in OP 4.12 Policy .

Tenants who have leased a house for residential purposes will be provided with a cash grant of three months rental fee at the prevailing market rate in the area, and will be assisted in identifying alternative accommodation.

Severely affected PAPs and vulnerable groups will receive shelter or other forms of economic rehabilitation from the Cross River State Government if deemed necessary and where applicable.

In case of partial impact on structures and where the remaining structures remain viable for continued use, PAPs will also be entitled to additional allowance for repair of remaining structure.

c) PAPs without legal rights of land use.

There will be no land compensation, but their houses, structures and other assets on land will be compensated as PAPs with legal rights of land use.

4.2.2 PAPs Losing Agricultural Land and Crops The mechanism for compensating loss of farm land includes:

o The provision of alternative site of equal size within the same community;

o Cash compensation for lost of crops and/or economic tree at full market price of estimated produce. This is arrived at by counting the number of crops or ridges as well as the economic trees to be affected.

PAPs will also be provided with compensation at full replacement cost, without deduction or depreciation for salvaged materials or any other fixed assets in part or in total by the project, such as tombs and water wells.

In cases where community infrastructure such as schools, factories, water sources, roads and sewage systems are damaged, the Cross River State Government/CRSWBL will ensure that these would be restored or repaired as the case September be, at no cost to the community.

4.3 Eligibility Criteria for Affected PersonsAny person who will suffer loss or damage to a building, business, trade or loss of access to productive resources, as a result of the project will be considered eligible for compensation and/ or resettlement assistance.

The cut-off date for being eligible for compensation and/ or resettlement assistance was the 24th September 2009, which is the last day during which the socio-economic survey was completed. PAPs also include:

Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan for Cross River Water Supply Scheme

Those who have formal legal rights of land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country);

Those who do not have formal rights to land at the at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets and become recognized during the survey; as well as

Those who have no recognizable legal rights or claim to the land they are occupying.

4.4 Proof of Eligibility

The PIU will consider various forms of evidence as proof of eligibility as stated in the RPF, to cover the following:

PAP with formal legal rights, documented in the form of land title registration certificates, leasehold indentures, tenancy agreements, rent receipts, building and planning permits, business operating licenses, and utility bills among others: unprocessed/unregistered formal legal documents will be established in the ARAP.

PAP with no formal or recognized legal rights-criteria for establishing non-formal, undocumented or unrecognized claims to eligibility shall be established paying particular attention to each situation and its peculiarities. Alternative means of proof of eligibility will include

Affidavit signed by landlords and tenants; Witnessing or evidence by recognized traditional authority,

customary heads, community elders, family heads and elders and the general community.

However only PAPs enumerated during the baseline survey shall be eligible for either the compensation or supplemental assistance. In other words the date of completion of baseline survey (24th September 2009) is the cut-off date for receipt of compensation or any assistance. Any new structures or additions to existing structures carried out after the cut-off date and their occupants will not be eligible for compensation or supplemental assistance.

4.5 Notification

All properties affected by the proposed civil works have been valued and assessed according to laid down procedure. Owners of affected properties have been notified in several ways. These included one on one notification during the socio-economic survey, and also during public consultation. A compensation valuation of all affected properties was carried out to assess commensurable values.

4.6 Method of Valuation for compensation

The method has been briefly described below:Earthguards Limited25

Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan for Cross River Water Supply Scheme

Replacement Cost Method

The Replacement Cost Method, which is used in estimating the value of the property/structure, is based on the assumption that the capital value of an existing development can be equated to the cost of reinstating the development on the same plot at the current labour, material and other incidental costs. The estimated value represents the cost of the property as if new.

Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan for Cross River Water Supply Scheme

Land ResettlementOwners of land are provided with an area of land equivalent to their displaced land. Land restoration should be in a location that has similar value as the one displaced to the project.

In this project however, all affected lands are owned by the communities, and are going to be restored to occupants by the community and the compliance will be monitored by the PIU/resettlement committee.

Disturbance and Other Incidental Contingencies

Affected business premises which will have to close shop or be relocated will be given compensation for loss of business time or assistance for transportation.

Affected Structures: Immovable Structures/Property:This consists of all structures/property that are not moveable (Immovable) such as Fence, Mud and Block Building, Economic Trees and Flowers, etc. All assets valued for compensation within this project fall under the category of immoveable assets.

Moveable Structures/Property:This includes Kiosks, Metal and Wooden containers and Water Tanks. There was no property/structure classified under moveable. This is as a result of the rural nature of the project area.

Permanent Structures/AssetThis consists of structures that will be displaced or removed permanently due to the project. A total of eight (6) residential houses, one (1) residential balcony, one (1) residential wall/fence and one (1) economic tree are classified under permanent structures/asset.

The PIU will arranges and make payment of estimated values to the beneficiaries. This is to enable the PAP’s to start arranging for alternative accommodation or resettle elsewhere.

4.7 Payment of Compensation

Compensation to Owners of Immovable StructuresOwners of Immovable Structures will be paid compensation that will be based on assessed values of their properties. The compensation will be paid by CRSWBL-PIU which is the implementing agency.Compensation to owners of structures will be based on the

cost of replacement of structure;

Report to the aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievances and the decision of the project authorities.

The main objective of this procedure will be to provide a mechanism to mediate conflict and cut down on lengthy litigation, which often delays such infrastructural projects. It will also provide people who might have objections or concerns about their assistance, a public forum to raise their objections and through conflict resolution, address these issues adequately.

The committee will provide ample opportunity to redress complaints informally, in addition to the existing formal administrative and legal procedures. However, the major grievances that might require mitigation include: PAPs not listed; Losses not identified correctly; Inadequate assistance; Dispute about ownership; Delay in disbursement of assistance and improper distribution of assistance.

8. OBSERVATION/ALTERNATIVE TO PROJECT

During the course of the field survey the following observations were made, they include; Private houses have been built on the right of way (ROW)of the existing

pipelines designed for rehabilitation at the proposed project sites. The proposed construction of water intake plants and treatment plantsat

the proposed project sites will affect a few farm lands, crops and buildings.

There are no business activities or shops to be affected by the construction of the facilities.

Some public properties such as electrical transformers and electric poles are on the ROW of the pipeline.

The project affected persons (PAPs) across the project areas are willing to move away from the lands to be affected by the project, as a demonstration of their acceptability of the water project to their community.

The PAPs wants the project sponsors to ensure that they are not excluded or omitted during resettlement/compensation period.

Due to the above observations the following recommendations are proposed Pipeline networking at the proposed project sites should follow the

existing ROW as the number of structures to be affected are minimal compared to the cost of an alternative ROW.

The existing ROW for the facility in Itigidi is located on the public infrastructure route/ROW so that constructions on the ROW of pipeline are illegal.

For public properties such as electrical transformer, the CRSWBL will have to determine in the case of rehabilitation which facility came first and the later will either remove its property or finance the relocation of the pipeline.

Most part of the project area pipeline laying will not affect private properties due to the rural and undeveloped nature of the areas.

The resettlement committee should carry PAPs along at all stages, and ensure that they are restored/resettled as proposed.

There should not be a third-party collection of PAPs entitlements.
