EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Scope This Resettlement Plan (RP) relates to the construction of 50 km Bonpara-Rajshahi gas transmission pipeline project (BRGTP) under the Gas Transmission and Development Project. The Project, which is proposed for financing by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), comprises three components: (i) gas transmission, (ii) field appraisal (iii) gas distribution and (iv) institutional strengthening. The gas transmission component includes (i) Ashuganj-Jamuna Bridge East Gas Transmission Pipeline, (ii) Hatikumrul-Bheramara Gas Transmission Pipeline, (iii) Bheramara-Khulna Gas Transmission Pipeline, and (iv) Bonpara-Rajshahi Gas Transmission Pipeline. The transmission pipelines will be constructed by the Gas Transmission Company Limited (GTCL) a Gas Transmission Company Limited (GTCL) the project. GTCL is a company of Petrobangla under the Energy and Mineral Resources Division of the Ministry of Power Energy and Mineral Resources. The primary purpose of the Project is to expand the natural gas network to less developed regions of the country to promote overall economic development. GTCL has assigned BETS Ltd to prepare RP report to fulfill the requirement of ADB. GTCL has conducted route survey by survey contractor and determined the pipeline route that have minimum resettlement impacts by avoiding major settlements and dense populations. The pipelines will be constructed within government-owned lands wherever possible. Care has been taken to avoid homestead, business areas and squatters in most cases. The RP report has been prepared following the guidelines of ADB and within the framework of the regulations of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. According to these guidelines, the project affected persons (PAPs) would be given all supports in regaining their previous socio economic conditions as early as possible The BRGTP will involve land acquisition (permanent acquisition) of 46.125 hectare (ha) and land requisition (temporary acquisition) of 75 ha for the construction of a 24’’ dia 50 km gas transmission pipeline from Bonpara to Rajshahi.1 This will be a strip alignment. Most of the acquisition will be on paddy field. In some places, there are very few trees on the land to be acquired. The total affected households will be 141; of this, 86 households will be temporarily loser and 55 permanent loser. The total number of affected household population will be 846, considering 6 persons per household. Of this, temporarily affected household population will be 516, while 330 populations will be permanently affected. The nature of impact in the project area is of two types; temporary and permanent, i.e. one that is very temporary in nature occurring during construction, and the other impact is on long-term basis. Efforts have been made to look into the interest of squatter, vulnerable groups and tribal and indigenous community. However, no indigenous groups have been found to be affected. Implementation strategy The RP has all viable scope in compensating the PAPs. Displaced persons would be i) compensated for their losses, ii) assisted with the resettlement, and iii) assisted in their efforts to regain or improve their socio economic conditions. Land is an alternative source of income, so skill training, housing, infrastructure and other compensation to the eligible PAPs have been considered. The policy matrix makes the entitlement more precise and includes operational aspects such as implementation issues and responsible agencies. For land losers cash compensation under the law (CCL) for land will be determined and paid by the concerned Deputy Commissioner (DC) using funds provided by the project executing agencies. Further, as per the existing law, the DC of the respective area shall consider 50% 1 Land acquisition means permanent acquisition and land requisition means temporary acquisition

premium on CCL. Additional grants will be provided up to the maximum allowable replacement value (MARV). Separate market survey of land will be needed during the period implementation for determination of MARV. A joint inventory verification team (JIVT) has been proposed for determining the price of PAPs’ assets lost to the pipeline, as well as for redressing the grievances that may arise during implementation. Video filming will be needed as a precaution to check against fake structures on the proposed alignment before serving notices for land acquisition. Adequate information campaign will be carried out for ensuring participation of the PAPs / beneficiaries in the implementation of RP. Organizational Responsibilities The project management is responsible for the implementation of RP. A resettlement unit (RU) headed by a Project Manager will be formed. The RU will be responsible for the overall implementation, management and monitoring of RP. The project management fully recognizes the very complex nature of the resettlement work and the limited availability of personnel with relevant expertise. It would, therefore, consider delegating resettlement work to a specialized organization or a nongovernmental organization (NGO) experienced in resettlement. The NGO will be selected through bidding process. In addition, project management will seek cooperation and participation of other government agencies such as district administration, forest department, agriculture department etc. as well as lending institutions in the implementation of RP. Forest department and agriculture department will support DC administration in CCL price determination of trees and crops respectively. Lending institution will be provided revolving fund from GTCL during implementation period. Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring and Evaluation is an important task for measuring the periodic progress of activities under the resettlement program. This helps to identify the constraints in the progress as well as to determine the remedial measure. Resettlement being a complex task needs development and establishment of Computerized Management Information System (CMIS). The CMIS will provide information for better planning and proper decision-making on resettlement issues. Time Schedule for RP Management The RP provides a series of resettlement activities. Of these, a number of activities have to be executed simultaneously for smooth implementation of the RP. As such, a time schedule for starting and finishing of each of the activities has been planned. RP implementation is a series of continuous work directly dependent on CCL payment. Primarily 6 months contract will be needed for NGO activities and for completing all sorts activities including external monitoring and evaluation it will take up to June, 2008. .

Chapter-1 INTRODUCTION, PROJECT BACKGROUND AND IMPACTS

1.1 Background This report outlines the Resettlement Plan (RP) for the proposed Bonpara-Rajshahi (50km) Gas Transmission Pipe Line (BRGTP), which forms part of the gas transmission component of the Gas Transmission and Development Project. The Project will be undertaken by the Gas Transmission Company Limited (GTCL), a company of Petrobangla under Power, Energy and Mineral Resource Ministry of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. The pipeline will help establish a sustainable natural gas grid that would meet projected gas demands in less developed western regions of the country. The Project, which is proposed for financing by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), comprises four components including (i) gas transmission, (ii) field appraisal, (iii) gas distribution and (iv) institutional strengthening. The gas transmission projects will involve the construction 353 km of gas transmission pipeline for transporting 330-360 million cubic feet per day of natural gas supply network from the eastern zone to the less developed regions of the country. The gas transmission component also includes (i) Ashuganj-Jamuna Bridge East Gas Transmission Pipeline (51 km), (ii) Hatikumrul-Bheramara Gas Transmission Pipeline (87 km), (iii) Bheramara-Khulna Gas Transmission Pipeline (165 km), and (iii) Bonpara-Rajshahi Gas Transmission Pipeline (50 km). The pipeline design includes elements that minimize resettlement impacts avoiding major settlements and dense populations. The pipeline will be located within government-owned lands wherever possible. Care has been taken to avoid homestead, business areas and squatters in most cases. This RP has been prepared for understanding the resettlement and rehabilitation issues relating to the construction of the BRGTP and incorporates the mitigation measures for the persons affected by the acquisition and requisition of land and other development activities. This project would involve acquisition & requisition of a strip alignment. Average breadth of the alignment is 23 meter of which 8 meter is for acquisition and 15 meter is for requisition. The report has been prepared on the basis of various pertinent documents, findings of field survey, land acquisition and involuntary resettlement policies of the Government, the ADB’s operational policies on involuntary resettlement, and experiences on similar projects in the country 1.2 Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement The Project will involve land acquisition for the construction of the BRGTP. An estimated 46.125 hectares (ha) will be permanently acquired; 75 ha, temporarily acquired for 50 kilometers (km) of pipeline of 8-meter final width within a 23-meter width during construction. Apart from the pipeline alignment, some of the acquisitioned land will be used for construction of different ancillary facilities and stations. The report will deal with the two basic issues, one is land acquisition and another is resettlement. As a requiring body GTCL will take initiative to solve all issues of land acquisition and resettlement. But legally GTCL directly can do nothing in land acquisition except allocating fund in favor of district administration i.e. DC. After allocating fund DC will do all out action for land acquisition on behalf of requiring body. Similarly resettlement work will be carried out by an experienced non-government organization on behalf of requiring body. GTCL in all cases will act as a catalyst. Based on socio-economic survey with 203 respondents and cadastral maps, an estimated 141 households will be affected by the Project. Of the affected household, 55 will be permanently affected, and 86 households will be affected through the temporary acquisition of land for the May 2007- May 2008 time of construction. Based on an average household size of 6, the estimated number of significantly affected persons (AP) is 330 out of 846 total affected persons.

One 13,200 square-foot pond will also be affected by the project. The socio-economic survey shows that for 69% of households affected, the Project will affect more that 10% of total productive assets. Further, 6 households will be displaced from housing. 1.3 Project Data and Impacts The possible resettlement impacts under the BRGTP due to implementation of different development activities include permanent and temporary loss of land and structures of different types of stakeholders along with some temporary loss of income. In case of requisition, some land will be temporarily used in the project area. Most of the landowners are farmers. As this is a strip acquisition, no major adverse effect is expected to occur in the project area. The summary impacts of the project are given in the following table.

1.4 Objectives of the RP Objectives of the Resettlement Plan are as follows and this is derived as per involuntary policy of ADB:

1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible. If population displacement is unavoidable it should be minimum

2) Since some displacement is unavoidable, resettlement plans should be developed as a planned change. Any involuntary resettlement should, as far as possible, be conceived and executed as development programs with appropriate time bound actions and budgets. Resettled persons should be provided with sufficient resources and opportunities to reestablish their homes and livelihoods as soon as possible, and to share in project benefits.

3) The adversely affected persons should be (i) compensated for their losses at full replacement cost.(ii) assisted with the move and supported during the transition period of relocation;(iii) assisted in their efforts to improve their former living standards, income earning capacity, and production level, or at least to restore them. The adversely affected population should also include indigenous group, ethnic minorities and pastoralist who may have usufruct or customary rights to the land or other resources taken from the project. Particular attention should be given to the needs of the poorest affected person, female-headed households and other vulnerable groups to be resettled.

4) Community participation in planning and implementing resettlement program should be encouraged. The affected people should be fully informed and closely consulted on resettlement and compensation options.

5) Land, alternative source of income, skill training, housing, infrastructure and other compensation should be provided to the adversely affected population who have usufruct or customary rights to the land or other resources taken for the project. Absence of legal title to land should not be a bar to compensate those depriving an income from the land or living on the land.

Involuntary displaces should not be worse off in terms of their socio economic condition. Attempts will be made to make the PAPs better off after relocation through both direct compensation and remedial measures. To achieve the above the RP has the following specific objectives:

i) Develop a compensation and resettlement policy by clearly defining various types of losses or impacts, entitled persons and entitlement to compensation and resettlement, and specifying the implementation issues and actors;

ii) Asses the socio economic status of the PAPs prior to land acquisition and resettlement cost of land and other assets, which should be serve as benchmark for implementation of RP, and consult the affected people and host community on various resettlement issues at the inception stage;

iii) Determine the losses and entitlement of each EP (entitlement Person) under the adopted policy framework and an ID card of each EP;

iv) Develop an appropriate implementation strategy and sound organization structure to carry out the resettlement program;

v) Prepare a development oriented resettlement budget; and vi) Develop implementation schedule, monitoring and evaluation and

management information system for implementation of RP.

Chapter-2 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND ANALYSIS OF DATA

2.1 Methodology

A field study has been carried out to assess the exact situation of the probable affected persons and the people adjacent to the pipeline alignment. About 4 questionnaires were filled up for every kilometer of the route. All available structures, trees and land losers were interviewed. The rest were randomly selected besides the alignment. Fifteen experienced investigators were collected the data by structured questionnaire and the socio economic condition of the alignment was thoroughly reviewed by structured questionnaire. All available and probable affected persons were interviewed. Other respondents were interviewed besides the alignment for knowing socio economic condition, as this is a strip acquisition and respondent other than affected randomly selected. The affected persons are not randomly surveyed. This is the total figure of all available affected persons. In total, 203 questionnaires were filled up along the proposed 50Km alignment of the project. This is the tentative amount of affected persons. The authority will update the figure at the time of detailed design period during implementation. The major portion of gas pipeline will cross the paddy field. The required land will involve (i) temporary acquisition and (ii) permanent acquisition. Till today, land demarcation for acquisition and requisition of gas pipeline in the field is not fully completed except some key identification marks and map. So, it is difficult to say what land and structures will be on temporary and permanent acquisition. For analysis, on the basis of land proportion and field experience, an estimated figure of temporary and permanently affected households has been identified. 2.2 Objectives of the Survey

The socio economic survey for BRGTP is intended to provide basic socio economic information of the people going to be affected, temporarily or permanently, due to the requisition and acquisition of land and property for this project. 2.3 General

The pipeline will cross four districts at different locations. The districts are, Natore and Rajshahi. During survey, consultation and field visits it was found that, among different losses for the development interventions, the mainly involved ones are temporary and permanent impacts and loss of agricultural land, structures and trees. In some places the alignment will cross some commercial places too. The temporary and permanently loss has been derived based on proportionately and this is a tentative figure. Exact figure will be collected by DC’s joint verification survey. However, a list of mouza wise affected person is given here. Table-2.1: List of Mouza wise Affected Person

Total: 141 846 As per existing development design, 9 homestead losing households will be relocated and 6 permanent structures will be dismantled in the project site. At the same time trees on the alignment should be shifted. Whenever the contractor requires any working space and temporary requisition of land is needed, shifting of structure and trees are to be carried out on payment of proper compensation. After completion of the gas pipeline, most of the owners are likely to cultivate their land again. Requisition land is only procured through renting of cropland. The requiring body will request the concerned DC to take proper step for acquisition of proposed land. Then demarcation, joint verification, cost estimation and serving legal notice will be done by the DC’s administration. Funds for the direct payment involved in land acquisition for the structures, land, trees and crop losses would be placed at their disposal by GTCL on request. Video Filming on the proposed alignment is also important to check fake structures erected after the issue of the legal notice. After fund placement to the district administration, the DC’s office makes payment to PAPs. The relocation and extra payment from resettlement program will start thereafter. This in brief is the current legal procedure of any acquisition/requisition process. Working in the PAPs’ land, cutting of trees and demolition of any structures will require payment of compensation to, and resettlement of, the owners. These resettlement facilities are likely to be provided to the PAPs by the requiring body (GTCL), or through any NGO engaged by it. 2.4 Findings of the Survey: An Overview In this section, some of the major findings of the survey from consultation and field observation are given. As stated above, the total affected households are 141, of these 86 are temporary loser and 55 are permanent loser. Temporarily affected population numbers 516, while

permanently affected population are 330 only. No affected business is available in the project area. Except some marginal income loser, there are no vulnerable groups such as squatters in the project area. At the implementation period there will be some vulnerable affected persons i.e. elderly, minorities, tenant farmers etc. In the next chapter income restoration strategy for the vulnerable are discussed. So, the authority should take care all necessary measures, if needed. Among the affected households, land losers are 129, homestead loser-9, housing structure loser-6, tree loser-61 and other structure loser 2. Out of 141, female-headed households are only 2. One pond is likely to be directly affected in the project area. The proposed alignment has crossed the right bank of the identified ponds. The area of each pond is about 13,200 sq. ft. So, gas pipeline should avoid the ponds as found on the alignment. No archeological site and worship places are found in the alignment. The affected trees are Date, Mehgani, Plantain, Cocoanut, Mango, Jackfruit, and Betel Nut etc. Most of the affected land is mainly paddy fields. At least 90% of total affected land is productive one. 2.5 General Socio-Economic Condition of the affected Area The socio economic survey shows that households in the subproject area are larger, averaging 6 compared with the national average of 4.8. Most households are male headed (female headed households comprise 1% of households surveyed). Literacy is generally high at 86% with 77% population having attended some form of education. Occupation wise, 59% of respondents was engaged in agriculture either as farmer, fisherman or agriculture laborers. About 50% of respondents reported average monthly households incomes of Tk. 5000 or less. 2.5.1 Ownership of Affected Land With regard to the ownership of affected land it was found that the land losers are of three categories. These are sharecroppers, owners cum sharecroppers and absentee landowners. Of these, owners cum sharecroppers are highest (72%). On the other hand, 6 housing structures and 2 other structure losers have been identified. Table-2.2: Land Ownership Pattern of Affected Farmer

Secondly affected Upazila is Puthia. 2.5.7 Women Affected household Out of 141-affected households, female-headed households are only 2 in the project area. However, no special loss is identified for the women. Women are most vulnerable in the society. Female-headed households will be provided with specialized livelihood and skills training accorded to vulnerable groups as cited in the entitlement matrix. Members of female-headed households will also be provided preference for project related employment. Special care is to be taken from the project authorities in receiving compensation primarily from GTCL and at the project period from the implementing NGO. The resettlement policy of ADB has special emphasis on the issue. Specialized information dissemination will also be undertaken for female-headed households as described in Chapter 3. In both the female-headed households senior female member play dominant role in the family and its economic activities. For one case all members of the household are female. Female head of the house is totally dependent on agriculture. The household head works as non-agriculture labor also. She owns 1.02 acres of land. She has secondary education. In the other case, husband works outside the village and wife has secondary level of education. The family owns 3.46 acres of land. As the senior female member is educated, in absence of her husband she acts as a household head.

Some Santal communities are living out side of the alignment. In Natore district there are some Santal but none of them is affected in the project. Santals is an ethnic group living in Bangladesh. They are living mainly in Rajshahi division. The settlement of Santals is also found in the district of Pabna, Jessore, Khulna and even in Chittagong. As the communities are not affected, so there is no need for any Indigenous People’s Development Plan.

2.5.19 Community Area Community area means school ground, school, mosque, club, playground, river etc. In the project area, except the rivers no private or government community areas are affected. Since a small perpendicular strip of river and its bank will be temporarily used during the project activities no community support is needed from the project in this connection. 2.6 Possible Impact of the Project Though the amount of land acquisition is relatively small, yet the impact will be, in general, positive. Total affected households will be 141. The number of all sorts of affected trees is 2485 (1181, large, 565 medium and 739 small). The total market value of these trees is Tk. 26,40,050 as per respondent’s claim. On the other hand, gas transmission pipeline will improve the socio economic scenario of the region, resulting in employment generation, environment friendly fuel supply, enhanced electricity generation and industrial production. The proposed resettlement program will enable the affected persons to regain economic condition to their previous state. Most of the affected persons hold a positive view regarding construction of gas transmission line. Following Table will show the people’s perception about the gas pipeline. The resettlement impacts of the Project and the mitigation measures are summarized in Table 2.22. Table-2.21 : People’s Perception about Gas Pipeline Comments Household

Accordingly, in preparation of the report, consideration of the resettlement issues has been taken into account for all the affected persons to mitigate these negative impacts of the project. In other words, necessary mitigation program has been proposed in solving the resettlement issues and the income related measures. These are as per the resettlement policy of the ADB. The mitigation measures will be applicable considering the respective nature of impacts and as such, GTCL has taken proper attempt in minimizing income related issues by pragmatic plan and on site relocation.

Chapter-3 POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

3.0 Policy Objectives and Implementation Strategy This chapter describes the policy objectives derived from the ADB guidelines and adjusted to the specific circumstances for the Bonpara-Rajshahi (50Km) Gas Transmission Pipeline Project. 3.1 Objectives (a) Involuntary resettlement should be minimized where feasible, exploring all viable

alternative project designs. (b) All involuntary resettlement should be conceived and executed as development

programs with the settlers provided sufficient investment sources and opportunities to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be (i) compensated for their losses at full replacement cost; (ii) assisted with the move and (iii) assisted in their efforts to improve their socio-economic condition through income earning capacity, and production levels, or at least to restore their previous condition. Particular attention should be given to the needs of the vulnerable groups for sustainable development. For achieving the previous condition DC will be liable for the compulsory payments i.e CCL but NGO will pay the additional payments to restore previous socio economic condition.

iii) Community participation in planning, implementation and monitoring & evaluation of the resettlement program is essential. (Land, alternative sources of income through skill training, housing, infrastructure and other compensation should be provided to the adversely affected population who has usufruct or customary rights to the land or other resources taken for the project. Absence of (legal) title to land should not be a bar to compensation to those deriving an income from the land or living on the land. 3.2 Framework of Operation Objectives

(a) During the planning and design of all components of the project such as location, alignment, layout etc. of the pipeline, the effects on homestead, agricultural land and other income losses have been taken into account. Land acquisition boundaries required for engineering purposes have been demarcated to meet field resettlement constraints.

(b) The purpose of this RP is to ensure that the PAPs are not adversely affected. Field visits and surveys have shown that there is a strong demand to have the gas pipeline even among the PAPs. Most of them perceive that the gas pipeline will contribute to economic development in the area and that they will ultimately benefit from it.

The entitlement packages ensure that the PAPs benefit from the project. The entitlement packages allow replacement value to compensate the loss and incentives. It also allows the PAP to have benefits beyond the replacement value. To mitigate system failures not covered, if any, corrective mechanisms are built in, such as, the monitoring and review mechanism; appeal and grievance redress mechanism etc. This RAP determines assistance during the move and support during transition in cash. PAPs will disperse and not move to a predetermined resettlement site.

(c) The socio-economic survey undertaken in the project-affected area has reflected sufficient base to identify the social patterns.

Page 21: Resettlement Planning Document · to determine the remedial measure. Resettlement being a complex task needs development and establishment of Computerized Management Information System

Resettlement Plan of Bonpara-Rajshahi Gas Transmission Pipeline Project

© BETS-Chapter-3: Policy and Legal Framework Page-16

It also indicates that PAPs expect to benefit from the project because of general economic improvement in the area due to improved infrastructure, etc. Field checks indicate that people are not at all concerned about the loss of the land and other assets but about payment of entitlements in full and in time.

With a view to avoiding any fraudulent activity from the PAP’s end (structure construction etc.), the people of the affected area have been informed of the land acquisition only without mentioning the actual alignment. Appropriate information campaigns to inform the PAPs of the proposed alignment will be executed in the project areas allowing the villagers to express their concerns, hopes and suggestions only when the Deputy Commissioners will serve acquisition notice under Section 3. Entitlement packages are devised and will be checked at village level during the information campaign. The resettlement strategy is based on encouraging PAPs to resettle on their own initiative and according to their choice, by providing necessary financial and institutional support. Participation of people is in-built in this strategy.

During the implementation of the RAP, there will be an active interaction with the PAPs through the information campaigns, resettlement workers and Joint Inventory Verification Team (JIVT). In case of any grievances, there will have the scope for appeal to the JIVT directly or via village leaders or NGOs. Next to routine monitoring and remedial action, post monitoring/evaluation survey is planned to assess fulfillment of the expectations of PAPs in order to determine further remedial action, if any.

(d) The PAP groups have been identified and entitlement packages have been

designed to accommodate their specific requirements. Categories eligible for entitlement also include tenant/farm workers and/or wage earners. Economically weaker categories are likely to benefit more.

3.3 Entitlement Policy and Implementation Strategy 3.3.1 Entitlement Policy The project-affected households depend on a variety of sources such as farmland, tenant farming, wage labor, trading etc. for their livelihood. One household may rely on more than one means of livelihood. Number of households may suffer different kinds of losses. The entitlement policy takes this into consideration by linking the entitlement to the types of losses rather than to the category of project-affected person. In the end, however, individuals and households do get entitlement proportionate to their losses. The policy matrix makes entitlement more precise and includes operational aspects such as implementation issues and actors. Basic concepts and principles of the entitlement policy are described in the following paragraphs: a) Definitions A Project Affected Person (PAP) is defined as a person who lives and/or earns a living in the project affected area at the time of section 3 notification under the land acquisition law or at the time of socio economic survey (whichever is later) and whose property, place of residence or means of livelihood is affected by the project. A Household is defined as all persons living and eating together (sharing the same kitchen and cooking food together as a single-family unit). There may be one or more person in a household who are entitled to a resettlement benefit.

Resettlement Plan of Bonpara-Rajshahi Gas Transmission Pipeline Project

© BETS-Chapter-3: Policy and Legal Framework Page-17

Entitlement to Replacement Land or cash grants & credits in lieu of replacement land is based on the legal ownership, which is ascertained according to the title deed of land (recipient of compensation under the law). In the case of joint title deed, the replacement land or cash grants & credits in lieu of replacement land will be given to the joint holders (i.e. joint holders will be treated as one unit). In the case of house/building construction grants, the entitled person is the legal owner of the structure (one who receives the compensation under the law). Maintenance Grant and Vocational Training is provided to persons affected by loss of wage earning opportunities or rented in/share cropped land. This entitlement is eligible to the individual so affected and the criteria of entitlement are loss of primary occupation/primary source of income. If more than one adult in a household is affected by loss of their primary source of income, each such person is entitled to maintenance grant and vocational training. Domestic help, casual employees and person not usually residing with or dependent upon the PAP household, however, are not eligible for resettlement benefits. The indirectly affected persons are those, whose primary source of income was dependent on areas acquired for the project, but do not own any property in those areas and are not normally residing in those areas. Their eligibility status will be determined through (i) joint verification by JIVT and /or (ii) an affidavit confirming their status jointly signed by the PAP, his/her employer and the Union Parishad Member. Disputes and grievances arising out of the definition of household or entitled person will be resolved through a mechanism of formal verification and or through JIVT. b) Entitlement Package Loss of Farmland: All PAPs affected by loss of farmland are entitled for a compensation package adequate to buy an equal area of replacement land. This package includes, in addition to the compensation under the land acquisition Act, a cash grant to meet the difference between the compensation and the replacement value of an equivalent area of land.2 Land losing PAPs are also eligible for credit up to 50 percent of the total compensation for purchase of land. This facility is provided for safeguarding those PAPs who are, for any genuine reasons, unable to bear their share of money (compensation money received earlier). This provision will not be applicable to those PAPs whose per capita residual holding is more than 33 decimals (1 decimal is equal to 40 square meter). For temporary loss of land, as in case of requisition, the entitlement for compensation is for rental charges and compensation for crop loss as determined by the JIVT, and cash grants for income restoration, in accordance with ARIPO provisions. In addition, contractors will be bound to restore land to its original state, including restoration of common property resources affected. Loss of Homestead: All PAPs who have lost their place of residence (land and structures owned or otherwise occupied) to the project are entitled to an equivalent replacement homestead land. Such PAPs will not be evicted from their place of residence until they arrange their replacement homesteads. The scale of homestead plots to be provided for different categories of homestead losers are:

2 The replacement value will be determined by the JIVT and is further elaborated in Section 3.3.2. The cash grant will be provided by the RU to PAPs at the same time as the compensation for land is provided and prior to displacement.

Resettlement Plan of Bonpara-Rajshahi Gas Transmission Pipeline Project

© BETS-Chapter-3: Policy and Legal Framework Page-18

Households which lose 100 sq. meters (2.5 dec) or more homestead land are eligible for a cash grant adequate to make up the difference between the compensation and the replacement cost of an equal area of homestead. Households, which own less than 100 sq. meters of homestead and lose all or most of the homestead area will be provided with a minimum size homestead of 100 sq. meters through private land purchase. The difference between the total compensation money received for homestead and the cost of replacement homestead plot of 100 sq. meters will be considered as a grant. Loss of Residential and Commercial Structures: PAPs affected by loss of residential structures are entitled to a transfer grant of Tk. 3,000 and house construction grant equivalent to 1/8th of the CCL+ 50% premium subject to minimum of Tk 2000. This will be paid in two installments, Tk. 3,000 at the time of relocation and the construction grant after the PAP has identified a homestead land. In addition, they are allowed to take away all salvageable materials from their old structure(s). PAPs who are displaced from a rented/occupied commercial premise are entitled for a moving transfer grant of Tk 3,000. . Household which owns less than 100 sq. meters of homestead and loses all or most of the homestead area will be provided with a minimum size homestead of 100 sq. meters through private land purchase. The difference between the total compensation money received for homestead and the cost of replacement homestead plot of 100 sq. meters will be considered as a grant. Loss of Wage Labor/Employment: Persons affected by such losses are entitled to one time maintenance grant of Tk. 9,000 (Tk. 100 x 90 days ) and eligible for vocational training at project cost. After the vocational training, they would be helped to find employment or to obtain institutional credit for starting a suitable income earning activity. Preference should also be given to the able PAPs in engaging laborers/ workers for the project activities. Vulnerable PAPs: Income restoration of the vulnerable groups is an important objective of the resettlement work. Vulnerable APs means, squatter, poor, elderly, minorities, female-headed households and indigenous people. No indigenous people has so far identified in the project. Here wage loser is a poor group. There is an income restoration grant for wage losers, tenants, elderly and female-headed households and people affected of marginal income group. Also they will get training for skill development as per market demand. After the training one vulnerable and poor APs can get micro credit from the NGO and revolving fund will be provided by GTCL. In addition, all vulnerable people can get employment and can sale wages for construction work on priority basis. Project authority will do all necessary support for them. In case of elderly and female headed, the APs can nominate their awards for training and other facilities. 3.3.2 Implementation Strategy Entitlement Data Management System Before the present entitlement policy can be applied, it is necessary to determine who the entitled person is and what his/her entitlement is. The entitlements against different types of losses have been defined according to categories. A final verification will, be made during joint investigation by the DC and the GTCL staff to ascertain the accurate amount of land under acquisition and requisition as well as other assets lost to the project. The fact that more than one person in a household will be eligible for one or more entitlement under the resettlement policy, makes this all the more difficult. For efficient management of information related to entitlement and its implementation a fully computerized data management system will be developed. This will have the following two basic components: All relevant information on each individual household that is required for implementation of the RAP and its monitoring and subsequent evaluation will be maintained at RU (head quarters and field). It would also be used to produce individual “Household file” and periodic monitoring

Page 24: Resettlement Planning Document · to determine the remedial measure. Resettlement being a complex task needs development and establishment of Computerized Management Information System

© BETS-Chapter-3: Policy and Legal Framework Page-19

reports. The computer facility and the programs will be designed and managed by the project management. Household profiles would be prepared for each household recording details of loss and entitlement, and other basic information regarding the families’ resettlement as well. If a person loses lands or other assets in more than one Mauza (land administration unit), the person will be counted once, and his/her entitlements will be paid together. The information will be periodically updated to reflect the progress and the updated information will be passed on to the central computer facilities. Field workers will be trained to prepare and maintain the household files. Copies of these files will be maintained at the field RU. The above system will be integrated with the overall management information system for resettlement. Information Campaign The implementation of the resettlement program will start with a public campaign to explain the resettlement policy and plan to PAPs, and to solicit their cooperation. The following actions will be carried out for the information campaign: A booklet explaining the resettlement entitlement policy, procedures and the program in simple language will be prepared by Project Management and widely distributed in the areas affected by the project. The booklet will also explain what the PAPs are expected to do to avail their entitlement. They will also be asked to register their names with RU. Field workers (NGO) will hold meetings in affected villages to explain the policy and plan to PAPs. JIVT and/or NGO workers attached to RU will hold series of meetings in the affected villages to explain the resettlement program and to answer people’s queries regarding the program. Required number of field workers will be recruited by implementing NGO associated for implementing the resettlement program and will be trained in resettlement related activities. They would contact every affected household to provide information regarding specific entitlement to each household, to distribute “Household file” and to verify the correctness of information contained in the household files. Each affected household will be given a “Household file” containing details of their entitlement. Project Management will seek the assistance of village leaders, religious leaders and other influential persons for participation of the PAPs. Making Replacement Farm/Homestead Lands Available The strategy is based on providing additional financial assistance to PAPs to purchase replacement farm and homestead lands of their choice. The field RUs and the NGOs will facilitate this process by providing all necessary institutional support to PAPs. The important measures in this regard are described below: Replacement Value: The market price for three or four standard types of farm/household land will be finalized by the JIVT and this value would be used as “maximum allowable replacement value” (MARV). A PAP can opt for a larger area of lower priced land or smaller area of higher priced land. Identification of Replacement Land: PAPs will be asked, through an information campaign, to identify lands of their choice and to enter into provisional agreement with willing landowners. PAPs will convey to RU the details of the land they have identified.

Page 25: Resettlement Planning Document · to determine the remedial measure. Resettlement being a complex task needs development and establishment of Computerized Management Information System

Resettlement Plan of Bonpara-Rajshahi Gas Transmission Pipeline Project

© BETS-Chapter-3: Policy and Legal Framework Page-20

The RU will use all possible formal and informal communication channels to transfer information and to bring PAPs and prospective sellers together. It would include measures such as (i) periodic posting of information on available lands at public places in affected areas; (ii) public announcements after Friday prayer gatherings and (iii) regular visits by field workers. Special Feature This RAP has addressed ADB’s policy objectives and guideline for the improvement of PAP’s socio-economic conditions. But implementation of some of the options, such as land for land, developing resettlement site etc. may not be feasible due to acquisition of very insignificant amount of land from the private landowners. Procedure for Payment against Privately Purchased Lands The cost for the replacement farm/homestead lands comes from the following sources:

i) Compensation under the law: The amount of compensation received by the PAP is the PAP’s share of the cost of replacement land. They are expected to make a down payment of this amount at the time of land transaction.

ii) Additional cash grant to cover the difference between compensation and the official price fixed for the replacement farm/homestead land will be made available by the Project Management.

Computerized PAP household file will have, among other things, exact information on the amount of funds a person is entitled to from different sources and the amount of down payment he has to make in order to receive the other payments. Money Transfer System: The PAP will be asked to open an escrow account at the designated financial institution and to deposit at least 50% of the compensation money in the account (in case there is any compensation due to the PAP that will be deposited directly to this account). Project Management will credit the additional grant (to reach replacement value) due to the PAP to this account immediately. The money will be released to the land seller after Project Management certifies the land transaction between the PAP and the land seller. Land Transaction - Verification and Registration As soon as a land deal is provisionally finalized between the PAP and the land seller, the JIVT will verify all legal requirements of the deal regarding ownership rights, encumbrances, measurements and all other legal matters related to the land. It would also advise the PAP whether the price agreed is reasonable. The JIVT will accordingly approve the deal or in the event of any legal ambiguities, advise the PAP to identify another parcel of land. Additional Measures In principle, Project Management cannot guarantee to provide replacement land to PAPs affected by loss of farmland, but only to provide financial assistance to purchase land. One or more JIVT will be formed for affected areas. The three members committee will include representatives of RU, selected NGO, and the Union Parishad (local elected body). The JIVT would also act as a grievance redress body and the decisions will be made through majority vote. Project Management will form the JIVT.

Evacuation and Relocation The acquired lands need to be evacuated in order to make the land available for pipeline installation. The following incentives are proposed to encourage PAP households to vacate the lands: PAPs are allowed to take away all salvageable materials of the houses and other structures free of cost. PAPs will be given a lump sum grant of Tk. 3,000 towards dismantling and transportation cost. This grant is paid only after the PAPs have vacated the affected areas. All PAPs affected by loss of house are given a house building assistance @ 1/8th of the CCL + 50% premium, subject to a minimum of Tk. 2,000. 3.3.3 Redressing Grievances Given the time that has elapsed between the acquisition of land & other properties and resettlement, a number of grievances and disputes about inclusion in the PAP list and category of entitlement may arise. The following mechanisms will be established to address and resolve grievances that arise during the implementation. Aps can appeal against the decision of the GRC in the appropriate court of law in case of dissatisfaction. Preliminary Verification The preliminary list of PAPs and their entitlement will be prepared on the basis of land acquisition records. PAPs will be asked to bring any discrepancies to the notice of RU through field workers. Persons who feel that they have been excluded from the list of PAPs and hence not received Household File would also be asked during the information campaign to bring their complaints to RU. They would also be asked to submit relevant records as proof of their claims. The proofs would include:

i) Copies of title deeds (Khatian), compensation awards or mortgage deeds in the case of disputes related to legally owned land;

ii) In case of share cropped or rented land, documentary evidence of the understanding between land owner and the tenant if there are any or an affidavit signed by the land owner and the tenant;

iii) Rent receipts in case of rented commercial premises; iv) In the case of squatters, voter list, community witness or any other official membership

records with cooperatives or Grameen Bank etc. v) In the case of wage employment, wage records if there are any; or an affidavit signed by

the employee and the employer. The RU will review and verity the claims/complaints on the basis of existing records such as land acquisition records and the proofs submitted in support of the claim. Joint Inventory Verification Team (JIVT) The JIVT will act, apart from providing the necessary institutional assistance for purchase of land, as a dispute/grievance resolving body. The JIVT will have one member representing the Project Management, one representing the NGO and one representing the Union Parishad (union member of the respective ward). Two representatives of PAPs will be invited as observers.

The JIVT will review cases referred to it by RU in the light of evidences submitted to it and then hold hearing of the case, normally in the village itself. JIVT would also consult village leaders while taking a decision on matters referred to it. Under normal circumstances, the decision of JIVT will be final and binding upon all parties. If an affected person is still dissatisfied with decision, he/she may appeal to the regular institutions entrusted with grievance redress such as DC’s office or the court of law. So Aps can appeal against the decision of the GRC in the appropriate court of law in case of dissatisfaction. 3.3.4 Vocational Training Target Groups The PAPs who do not have definite means of livelihood are eligible for vocational training. However, the program will be more specifically aimed at those individuals and households who are landless and those who were earlier dependent on wage labor or tenant farming/share cropping, but may not be able to continue with the same activity after relocation. Special focus group would be women, educated youths and traditional artisans. Broad Training Modules Skills/trades expected to provide full time employment after the training: These are new skills that would require relatively long period of training (2-6 months) and need to be carried out at an existing or specially created facility. The most suitable skills are identified as:

Motor mechanics; Driving; Rickshaw assembling and repairing; Secretarial skills/word processing; Plumbing, electrician, metal works; Manufacture of rural sanitary equipments.

Some of these skills like metal works and manufacture of sanitary equipments can lead to establishment of small-scale enterprises. In such cases the trainees would need additional training to start small enterprise either individually or collectively. Training in these skills will be mainly organized at existing training facilities such as industrial training institutes, existing workshops or through informal apprenticeship with master mechanics. The target group would be young men and women with required basic level of education. Improvement of existing skills: There are some technical labors, whose incomes are constrained due to low level of skill, engaged in the following activities:

Fisheries; Poultry; Vegetable cultivation/crop diversification; Low cost house construction; Animal husbandry/dairy; Carpentry (boat building and repair); Hand looms.

A comprehensive training program will be designed and implemented for upgrading the skill of those labors. The primary target group would be those who are currently engaged in similar kind of activity. The training would be of short duration (3 to 15 days) and in most cases would be conducted at

Page 28: Resettlement Planning Document · to determine the remedial measure. Resettlement being a complex task needs development and establishment of Computerized Management Information System

a central village. Specific training inputs required for each group are identified by NGOs. The NGOs also assess and provide extension services at required level.

Supplementary income generating activities: These are specifically aimed to provide additional income. The following areas are considered as suitable; these are the outline of the probable trainings. The training demand will be confined between one and two as per market demand of the area. At the implementation period the authority will decide in this connection. After training the RU will provide some seed money for small business for income restoration to the trained APs. The authority will give market oriented ideas and awareness and will create access with the local bank for getting better performance of the APs. The training of large number of APs may not be what is required but a focus on marginal, vulnerable and female-headed households will be confirmed: The supplementary training issues are as follows:

Plant nurseries; Tailoring and handicrafts; Bee keeping; Homestead gardening.

The primary target group would be women. They would be trained through brief training camps (3 to 7 days) organized at the village level. Credit and equipments would be arranged. The NGOs/Project Management would also arrange tie-ups with other agencies for marketing of the products. For example, Forest Dept/Project Management under the affore station program can buy saplings from these village nurseries. Training in handicrafts products would be conditional to effective marketing tie-ups with concerned agencies.

Skills aimed at improving general quality of life: These skills are not expected to bring any direct economic benefits but can have significant impact on the life of PAPs, particularly women. This is a awareness program only. The areas of training would be:

Community health-hygiene, MCH, family welfare; This program will be exclusively for women and will be conducted at villages. The initial training would be of about three-day duration and will be followed by one-day refresher sessions after one to three months. Some of the trained women will be employed later as trainers. Overall Management of the Training Program The entire vocational training package will be contracted out to NGO(s) who have experience and capacity to organize and to manage large-scale vocational training programs. In case more than one NGO is contracted their areas of operation (geographically or activity-wise) will be clearly delineated. This NGO(s) in turn may sub contract some of the training programs to other smaller specialized NGOs or appropriate training institutions. • The contracted NGOs are responsible for designing specific training modules, selecting the

eligible trainees, and organizing and managing the training program according to a time schedule and budget agreed beforehand with the Project Management. They are also responsible to liaise with credit institutions, arranging loans and developing tie-ups for supply of inputs and marketing wherever necessary. They would also follow up and monitor the post training performance of the trained persons at least for one year. The full operational plan of vocational training and the implementation schedule will be prepared by NGO’s.

3.4 Resettlement Experience in Bangladesh For economic development large project and land acquisition is a must. Like other countries Bangladesh also needs large project to implement. In most cases development project require land for their implementation. Compulsory acquisition of land becomes inevitable. As a result some one either be benefited or affected from the development project. The number of affected person on account of land acquisition varies depending on the size of the development project. A major dam (Kaptai hydro –electric project in Bangladesh), a large flood protection /irrigation scheme (Teesta project in Bangladesh) or projects involving development of communication (highways, airports, railways etc) usually displace large number of families and persons. But a small project may also seriously affect a large number of people if the project site is in thickly populated. In past no major project had resettlement option. In 60s Kamlapur railway station had option resettlement option. Normally pre and post liberation period no resettlement program for development projects in Bangladesh. Even now a days there is no resettlement program for local funded project. This is true for all project financed by local fund viz. Public Works Department, Road and Highways Department etc So the affected persons are worst sufferer regarding land price and livelihood etc. The last decade is the implementation period of some large projects where resettlement was the preconditions of project financing by the donors. These are the Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge project, the Jamuna Bridge Rail Link Project, The Rupsha Bridge Project, The Lalon Bridge project, The Jamuna Bridge Access Road Project, The Bhairab Bridge Project, The Dhaka Urban Transport Project financed by World Bank of the Dhaka City Corporation implemented by the Road and Highways Department. Presently on going project of RHD is the Bridge replacement project where roughly 1000 households will be affected financed by DFID. The Jamuna Bridge Project had roughly 100,000 indirect affected people. Direct affected persons were roughly 10,000. The projects had successful resettlement work. There is a resettlement site in the east bank of the project. Land for land was the successful option with some limitations. Land price is now increased considerably in the area. Income generating traning and compensation was not utilized fully. Getting money from DC office was not satisfactorily paid and was harassing and time consuming process. NGO service was so far satisfactorily completed. Jamuna Bridge rail line was also a successful resettlement project was roughly 100km from Joydevpur to Sirajganj. This is totally a new line except 5 km on the bridge. About 10,000 persons were directly affected in the project. This is also a successful project. But sufferings from DC office are also same regarding land payment. The project was financed by ADB. So far our knowledge some affected persons were unable to collect their CCL money due to non co-operation of DC’s LA section. This is the common practice of DC’s payment System. Here is no resettlement site. Rupsha Bridge resettlement program was successfully implemented. About 1000 were affected persons directly and the project was financed by Japan. Bangladesh is a densely populated area of 140 million people with an area of 147,570 sq. km. So land is a scarce resource and average per capita income is also low in the country. From the above experience government will make a National resettlement policy and all land related sufferings should be minimized regarding CCL payment. Responsible NGO will be an alternative for CCL payment but this is subjecting to the parliament. So affected persons of national project are to be properly compensated and government will do proper measures to the interest of the affected persons. 3.5 Policy Framework and Entitlements The policy framework and entitlements for the Project are based on national law(Acquisition and Requisition of Immoveable Property Ordinance of 1982) and ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement(1995).At present in donor financed project no major difference in resettling the

affected person. . Payment of CCL and premium money government is legally bound. But not legally but by administrative instance government is doing all recognized efforts in regaining affected persons socio economic position and special attention have been made for vulnerable, indigenous people and female headed households. Acquisition and Requisition of Immoveable Property Ordinance (ARIPO)-of 1982 its subsequent amendments in 1993 and 1994. It covers all cases of acquisition and requisition (temporary acquisition) by the government for public purpose and interest. The legal processes are initiated by the deputy commissioner (DC) of the concerned district with a detailed map of the area and a land acquisition plan. The DC is empowered to permanently acquire or temporarily requisition of property and legal owners of compensation. The DC assesses the level of compensation, taking into consideration factors such as, land transaction in the locality over the past twelve months and the present market rate.. The amendments to the ARIPO in 1993 increased the amount of the premium (to reflect market or replacement values) for compulsory acquisition from 25 to 50% on the assessed value of the property. The 1994 amendment provides provision for payment of crop compensation to tenants. The ARIPO does not cover compensation for loss of wage income and displacement transport; it also doesn’t cover losses of non-titled persons (squatters, encroachers, etc) aside from crop losses to tenants. ADB policy requires:

i) Avoiding or minimizing adverse project impacts where possible ii) Consulting with affected people (AP) in project planning and implementation,

including iii) Disclosure of RP and project related information iv) Payment of compensation for acquired assets at the market/replacement value v) Resettlement assistance to APs, including non titled persons (informal

dwellers/squatters and encroachers); vi) Income restoration and rehabilitation program; and vii) Special attention for vulnerable groups

Consistent with the ADB policy, this framework and resettlement procedural guidelines will apply for the concerned projects. This will ensure that persons affected by land acquisition will be eligible for appropriate compensation and rehabilitation assistance. The framework reflects the governments land acquisition and regulation as well as ADB’s policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995) and other social safeguard guidelines. It stipulates eligibility and provisions for all types of losses (land, crops/trees, structures, business/employment, and workdays/wages). If land for land is not feasible option, APs will be compensated at full replacement costs. In addition Aps will receive additional grants to match replacement cost for lost assets (land and houses), transaction costs such as documentary stamps and registration costs (in case of purchase of replacements land), other cash grants and resettlement assistance such as shifting allowances, compensation for loss of workdays/income due to dislocation. Female –headed households, indigenous peoples households, other vulnerable households will be eligible for further cash assistance for relocation and house construction. 3.6 Resettlement and Rehabilitation Requirements The existing policy relating to resettlement of PAPs in connection with acquisition of land and properties both for the directly and indirectly affected persons is a much more equitable approach than it was the case in the past. So, it is obvious to assess the number of PAPs, who are required to be compensated and resettled as per policy set forth by the GOB and the Donors Agencies. A total of 121.125 hectares of affected land area will require payment of compensation. On the other hand, so far as the affected structures are concerned; a few structures will also be affected due to the implementation of the project. So, there will be a minimum requirement of payment of compensation for stakeholders in the present project.

3.7 Land Requisition Requisition of land required for the pipeline construction will be undertaken in accordance with the above-mentioned ordinance that sets out the procedures and requirements for the purpose. With prior approval of the Government, the DC can decide on the requisition of any property requested by the concerned agency (GTCL) for a period of two years, which will be extended if necessary. The amount of compensation for such temporary loss of land will be equal to the estimated rent that would have been payable for the use and occupation if it had been taken on lease for that period plus compensation for estimated expenses for vacating and reoccupying the property. The contractors will be asked to restore the requisition land to their original status. 3.8 Income Restoration Strategy As per ADB’s policy of resettlement, the livelihood of the affected persons should be better, at least previous economic status is to be maintained. So RP has been designed in such a way that the affected person’s economic condition will be much better. Three months income restoration grant will be provided for income loser on the other hand scope for training and micro-credit will be provided by NGO. The authority will engage affected persons in the construction work, if possible. The concerned NGO will make plans for awareness program and market-oriented training for economic development of the affected persons. The authority will provide a revolving fund in the support of commercial bank in the area for credit program. So, it may be expected that their economic condition will not be deteriorated. Compensation for land acquisition and resettlement assistance for affected persons is covered by the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance (AIRPO) of 1982 and its subsequent amendments in 1993 and 1994. It covers all cases of acquisition and requisition (temporary acquisition) by the Government for public purposes or interest. The DC is empowered to permanently acquire or temporarily requisition property and legal owners are eligible for compensation. The DC assesses the level of compensation, taking into consideration factors such as: land transactions in the locality over the past 12 months. The amendments to the ARIPO in 1993 increased the amount of the premium for compulsory acquisition from 25 to 50% on the assessed value of the property. The 1994 amendment provides provision for payment of crop compensation to tenants. To pay the affected person up to present market price 50% premium was not found adequate in practice, so in resettlement policy this practice in different resettlement projects including Jamuna Bridge resettlement project an additional land market survey was carried out on the basis of administrative decision from government. So replacement Market Value means, Maximum Allowable Replacement Value from Land Market Survey i.e. present market price of acquired land from a land market survey- (CCL+50%Premium). So affected Person will get subtraction value of land from implementing NGO as replacement grant provided by GTCL. However, affected person will get CCL+50% premium from district administration. The affected person will get land replacement grant from NGO after land purchase or not, which is suitable to the authority. But the payment will be after DC’s payment of CCL as per present practice. Loss of land will be compensated at replacement cost. A cash grant will be provided to account for the difference between the compensation provided under the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO) and the replacement value. The replacement value will be based on the market value determined through a land market survey by the Joint Inventory Verification Team. Loss of structures will be compensated in accordance with the compensation provided under the ARIPO plus a house construction grant OF Tk. 2,000 OR 1/8th the value of the ARIPO compensation, whichever is higher. Households owning less than 100 square meter homesteads and losing all or more of their homesteads will be provided with a minimum of 100 square meters of land through private land purchase. APs losing wage labor or employment will

be provided a one-time maintenance grant of Tk. 100 per day for 90 days and will be provided vocational training. Preference will also be provided to APs in engaging labor for subproject activities. Compensation for other categories of losses are identified in the entitlement matrix. APs without a definite means of livelihood are entitled to vocational training. The program are specifically aimed at landless households, wage laborers and sharecroppers affected by the project. Long-term training (2-6 months) will be provided on motor mechanics, diving, rickshaw assembly and repair, secretarial skills/word processing, plumbing, electrical and metal works, and manufacturing of rural sanitary equipment. Short-term (3-5days) skills training for those engaged in low-skill activities will be provided in fisheries, animal husbandry, vegetable raising and crop diversification, low-cost house supplementary income generating activities will also be provided to target groups such as women on plant nurseries, tailoring and handicrafts, bee keeping, and homestead gardening. Skills training will also be provided for women on community health and hygiene, family welfare to improve their quality of life. Vocational training packages will be contracted out to nongovernmental organizations (NGO). 3.9 Legal Framework The policy framework and entitlements for the Projects for the Project are based on national law (Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance of 1982) and ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1985). The DC is empowered to permanently acquire or temporarily requisition property and legal owners are eligible for compensation. The DC assesses the level of compensation, taking into consideration factors such as: land transactions in the locality over the past 12 months. The amendments to the ARIPO in 1993 increased the amount of the premium for compulsory acquisition from 25 to 50% on the assessed value of the property. The 1994 amendment provides provision for payment of crop compensation to tenants. The ARIPO does not cover compensation for loss of wage income and displacement transport; it also does not cover losses of non-titled persons (squatters, encroachers, etc.) aside from crop losses to tenants. For the purpose of acquisition and requisition of immovable properties in Bangladesh, the government, taking into consideration all previous Acts, Rules, Ordinances etc., have prepared ‘Acquisition of Immovable Properties Manual-1997’. This manual guides all acquisition and requisition of immovable properties, for the purposes whatsoever as well as payment of compensation for all sorts of losses. For ready reference in connection with the proposed acquisition and requisition, one set of the ‘Acquisition of Immovable Properties Manual-1997’ is furnished herewith (Annex-1). 3.10 Legal Adviser The Project Management will seek advice of GTCL’s legal department whenever necessary. If necessary, it will appoint a legal advisor as a retainer for all legal matters including resettlement. 3.11 Management Information System The resettlement exercise is complex and cumbersome. Administrative measures and financial control is mandatory. A Management Information System will be designed and Manager and Accountants in the field will be trained on how to operate the system. 3.12 ADB Policy requirement Consistent with ADB policy, this framework and resettlement procedural guidelines will apply to all projects under the sector loan. This will ensure that persons affected by land acquisition will be eligible for appropriate compensation and rehabilitation assistance.

Page 33: Resettlement Planning Document · to determine the remedial measure. Resettlement being a complex task needs development and establishment of Computerized Management Information System

The framework reflects the borrower’s land acquisition laws and regulations as well as ADB’s policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995) and other social safeguard guidelines. It stipulates eligibility and provisions for all types of losses (land, crops/trees, structures, business/employment, and workdays/wages). If land-for-land is not a feasible option, APs will be compensated at full replacement costs. In addition APs will receive additional grants to match replacement costs for lost assets (land and house), transaction costs such as documentary stamps and registration costs (in case of purchase of replacement land), and other cash grants and resettlement assistance such as shifting allowance, compensation for loss of workday/income due to dislocation. Female-headed households, indigenous people’s households, and other vulnerable households will be eligible for further cash assistance for relocation and house reconstruction. 3.12 Comparison of National Compensation Law with ADB’s resettlement policy Incase of acquisition only CCL +50% premium is given to the legal owners of the land. For structure, tress and crops actual prices with premium are given to the legal owners. No payment for the squatters and wage losers for regaining the economic condition is allowed incase of the owners of acquisition and requisition land. But ADB resettlement policy is where no option for “land for land” compensation is to be paid at replacement market value. Squatter, wage loser, business loss, loss of indigenous people and women should be specially handled, so their economic condition will not be deteriorated. Wage loser should be given special training and support in regaining previous socio-economic condition. . In case of valuation of the standing crops is determined by DC with the assistance from the Agriculture Marketing Extension Services. ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, which requires that the displaced persons should be (i) compensated for their losses at replacement costs; (ii) assisted with the move, during the transition period at the relocation site; and (iii) enabled to reconstruct a land-based productive existence; and (iv) assisted in their efforts to improve their former level of living standards, income earning capacity, and productive levels, or at least to restore them. The absence of legal titles to land should not be a bar to compensation. In other words, all PAPs should be benefited from the Project, irrespective of their legal status as landowners or users of project acquired land. The Policy also requires that population displacement should be avoided or minimized whenever possible and that the PAPs and host population should be involved in resettlement planning and implementation. 3.12.1 DC’s Role in CCL Payment DC is the main role player in CCL payment in the existing law. But due to bureaucratic problem, land law related limitations and people’s unconsciousness in many cases land document is not up-to-date. DC is the only authority in CCL payment and primary identification of APs. In absence of DC’s primary identification, no additional payment is possible for vulnerable and untitled owners. So project delay is a regular phenomenon, and non-payment of CCl in some cases for illiterate and vulnerable. NGO payment can accelerate the CCL payment with necessary legal support from the government. At present the requiring body may accelerate the work by giving logistic support regarding human resource and awareness build up and helping guideline in updating land documents GTCL will give necessary support in this connection both from GTCL and implementing NGO. 3.13 Role of Resettlement Project Manager The concerned project Manager will be responsible for supervision and authority for guidance in implementing RP efficiently by proper mobilizing his staff. DC plays a key role for the requiring body in land acquisition and payment of CCL. Project Manager will appoint a responsible officer to liaise with the DC’s Land Acquisition section for time-to-time progress monitoring and identification of problems and solution.

Chapter-4 CONSULTATION, DISCLOSURE AND GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL

4.1 General The project will affect four categories of people. They are mainly the owners of the land, the owners of the structures, the tree losers and the crop losers. 4.2 Resettlement Needs and Choices The scope of resettlement, particularly relocation and rehabilitation of affected persons due to the project is limited to only 9 homestead loser and 6 housing structure loser and other structures 2. At this stage 141 affected persons are identified. The land and structure owners require payment of their compensation at replacement market value. The Property Valuation Advisory Committee (PVAT) will suggest the real price as per market price and additional allowance i.e. dismantling and construction cost that should be provided to the respective affected persons. Resettlement zone is not necessary for the pipeline as this involves a narrow alignment and will require strip acquisition. The pipeline alignment will mainly pass through the paddy land .Most of the Land losers are farmers. So, no resettlement zone has been suggested in the RP preparation 4.2.1 Income Restoration Grant The income loser APs will be given 90 days income restoration grant @ Tk 100 per day. This period is considered sufficient for the APs to regain their previous position and income, as per previous experience on other projects. The pipeline construction will be undertaken in segments, and income disruption will not be for the whole construction period, but will also be in segments based on the section of pipe being laid. . So the APs ultimately get more time in regaining income restoration. Further, the APs can take recourse to grievance procedures if period of income loss is more. 4.2.2 Skill Identified in the Training Courses In the field observation the following training items have been identified for income restoration. These are new skills that would require typically 2-3 months of training and would need to be carried out at an existing or specially created facility. The most suitable skills are identified as:

Motor mechanics; Driving; Rickshaw assembling and repairing; Secretarial skills/word processing; Plumbing, electrician, metal works; Manufacture of rural sanitary equipments.

There are some technical labors, whose incomes are constrained due to low level of skill, engaged in the following activities:

Fisheries; Poultry; Vegetable cultivation/crop diversification; Low cost house construction; Animal husbandry/dairy; Carpentry (boat building and repair); Hand looms

These are specifically aimed to provide additional income. The following areas are considered as suitable:

Plant nurseries; Tailoring and handicrafts; Bee keeping; Homestead gardening.

The above trainings are the tentative outline but during implementation the RU will choice one or two priority basis market oriented trade and that trainings will given for income restoration. 4.2.3. Loss of common Property As earlier discussed, no loss of common property has been identified except some ponds that have access to most people, and some under pisciculture. Compensation for this will be the replacement cost of the pond including the cost of land and digging. 4.2.4 Resettlement Zone Resettlement zone means a planned resettlement site where involuntary affected person are resettled for the housing a structures. Resettlement zone is not necessary for the pipeline as this involves a narrow alignment and will require strip acquisition. The pipeline alignment will mainly pass through the paddy land and it is a strip acquisition. Most of the Land losers are farmers. So, no resettlement zone has been suggested in the RP preparation 4.2.5 Mode of Payment People’s response regarding mode of payment are given as follows. Most of the identified stakeholders prefer payment from NGO. But DC office has some mandatory role in legal payment of it. There is no scope to change that role. Public also have choice of payment from bank and not in cash. Cash payment too, is against the resettlement ideas for various reasons. Table-4.1 : Mode of Payment

4.3 Further Community Consultation Community Consultation is a Continuous process in the implementation of the RP. It will ensure the smooth completion of the project. The implementing NGO will do routine consultation meeting with the local stakeholders. At the meeting local elites and public representative is to be included. The suggestions and identified will be monitored to the higher authorities for proper solution. The grievance redress committee will arrange the meeting with the affected persons 4.4 Community Consultation during Survey and Design In order to identify vulnerable groups, which will be adversely affected by the project and to formulate measures in consultation with them to avoid sufferings and to mitigate or compensate them for any adverse effects, consultation with the stakeholders and PAP’s began in January 2005 with the survey and consultation of the project. Several meetings were held during survey and consultation with the stakeholders at different locations along the proposed route of the pipeline from Bonpara to Rajshahi. They were provided with the information about the project and its possible impacts in terms of land acquisition and relocation (See photographs-Annex-2). In general, the possible project affected persons (PAP’s) depicted very positive views towards the gas sector development of the country in general and execution of this particular project along their localities in particular. It has been revealed through consultations with the stakeholders and the affected groups that, they are willing to participate in the assessment process with best of their Co-operation. In fact, the following tasks were performed to complete the aforementioned consultation process: Identification of the key stakeholders and close consultation with them on their views about the project and resettlement effects; Identification of the vulnerable groups and local NGOs; Dissemination of information through distribution of leaflets (See sample Annex-3) Applying appropriate communications strategies through group discussion with the field and supervising staff to ensure effective communication of information; A formal consultation with the affected groups and PAP’s while filling in the pre-set questionnaires (See sample Annex-3); particular Taking views of affected groups and local NGOs fully into account. Community consultation is a continuous process in successful project completion. The GRC and resettlement field staff will be in close contact with the affected persons. They will arrange weekly, fortnightly or monthly meeting with the affected when necessary. The minutes will be preserved and will be sent to the authority. 4.4.1 Mechanisms for stakeholder participation in planning, management, monitoring

and evaluation: Community participation should be started from the socio economic survey. The affected person’s view, idea, resettlement choice, compensation policy is usually revealed from this survey findings.

Land market survey for compensation package is another participation of the affected stakeholders in case of payment compensation. Identification of Eps and issuance of ID cards is another recognition of people’s participation where public representative will certify the real affected persons. Participation of Grievance Redress committee is another recognition of the affected ones. Computer based entitlement record by NGO is also another means which identifies one’s participation. 4.4.2 Mechanisms for resolution of conflicts and appeals procedures A grievance redress committee will be formed. Concerned Project Manger of the of NGO will be from NGO and a public representative i.e. chairman of the concerned Union parishad of the local government will be from the affected person’s representative headed by a officer of RU of GTCL equivalent to Manager (RU). The committee will receive the application from the affected stakeholders about their grievances and they will solve the grievances every month. Other than disputes relating to ownership rights under the court of law, the GRC will review grievances involving all resettlement benefits, relocation, and other assistance forwarded by the RU or APs. Grievances will be redressed within 2-4 weeks from the date of lodging the complaints. The APs can appeal the decision of the GRC in the appropriate court of law or to DC, depending on the nature of the grievance.

4.4.3 Information Dissemination Process For information dissemination, GTCL and Concerned NGO will publish a booklet by mentioning the project’s aim, compensation matrix etc for the affected stakeholders and will arrange meeting, group discuss etc for peoples’ awareness. Regarding cost of the information campaign NGO will get a lump sump budget from the incidental cost as per TOR of the NGO activities. Information campaigns will be held for APs to provide inputs to the RP. A resettlement information leaflet containing information on compensation and resettlement options will be made available in local language(s) and distributed to APs. The Project Management Office (PMO) through staff of its resettlement unit (RU) will conduct consultations in affected villages to explain the resettlement plan in coordination with village and religious leaders. Each AP will be provided information regarding specific entitlements. Disputes on entitlements can be forwarded to the RU for appropriate action. The summary RP will be disclosed on the ADB website, and information dissemination and consultation will continue throughout the project implementation period. 4.4.4 Key Stakeholders /Local NGO Identification Process and Time for Resettlement Consultation with the key stakeholders was held at the time of field survey. It is a continuous process till the completion of the project. GTCL and NGO will do that job and also Deputy Commissioner (DC) will arrange meeting, at the survey time, schoolteachers, village leaders and local government’s member and Chairman are etc. contacted in-group and individually and with particular attention to female headed household interviews. Total implementation period of resettlement work has been identified for six month on the basis earlier experiences. For example, Rupsha bridge resettlement project was only for six months. In this period major work was done. Present work only small no of affected person. On the other hand civil work will start in 2007., If proper measure s taken most of the entitlement will paid as CCL from DC office. Normally due to DC’s payment is delayed due to legal causes. As here, more time is available for Dc’s payment. That’s why NGO work needs less time. So the work will be likely to be finished within the stipulated time. Otherwise in time of necessity authority may sanction more time for resettlement.

4.4.5 Information Dissemination to Female Headed Households Female headed households is to be handled carefully. NGO will hire some female field workers for information dissemination ion. Focus group and personal contact are important for information campaign to the female. 4.4.6 Summary of Consultation Consultations of the key stakeholders were held at the time of field survey. It is a continuous process till the completion of the project. GTCL and NGO will do that job and the Deputy Commissioner will arrange meeting (DC), at the survey time, School teacher, village leaders and local government’s member and Chairman were contacted in group and individually and female headed household were also interviewed through focus group meeting with the help of the villagers. At implementation period the implementation NGO will do the job. Also local NGO representative were interviewed. Some important highlights of public consultation are given below: (See Annex-2) Focus Group Discussion (FGD) Summary: - To affected should be given employment scope during construction period - To ensure tree loss - Proper compensation - Community and religious sites are to be saved - Scope of gas consumption facilities to the villagers - Unemployed youths are to be given scope of training and employment.

Key Informant Interview (KII) Summary Report: - To take care about the public safety as well as that of pipelines at critical locations In order

to remove any fear of explosion the authority should exercise adequate care in construction & maintenance of pipeline

- Pipeline should be laid & buried properly after welding construction is over. - Works should be faster lessening the loss of production of crops. - The gas should be cheap and available to the limited income group at the earliest possible

opportunity and consideration of any subsidy/discount at the initial stage would be highly appreciated.

- To use of quality material & best workmanship for safe and durable pipeline system, and to provide uninterrupted supply to the consumers.

- To prompt placement of fund by the requiring bodies for quick completion of acquisition and requisition process.

- The executing agency should follow all rules, regulations and standing in construction and of the gas system in-terms of public safety and well being.

- Care should be taken for ensuring the least possible damage to LGED built roads & structures during construction of pipeline and informing them well ahead in crossing such roads.

- Emergency response plan should be taken to meet any eventual accident thereafter. - Steps should be taken for the efficient & selective use of natural gas & particularly to

encourage CNG for all sorts of land & river transports to save foreign exchange and favoring the environment from use of lead & sulphur prone imported petroleum products.

4.4.7 Ensure Community Participation It has been observed through the foregoing exercise that the reason behind their affirmative views is due to the fact that the project activities will progress along a strip alignment only and BRGTP would cause no major impacts regarding resettlement to concerned persons for livelihood and income. Further, the PAP’s will be duly compensated as per the law of the land. Further more, it is most likely that after completion of the project, most of the land will be used for agriculture. However, their only concern was the timely and uninterrupted payment for the

affected homestead, trees, structures and the cultivated lands. They seemed to be happy to note that GTCL has, while passing their pipeline route, has avoided most of their homesteads, trees and structures and aligned it through fellow land in general. This feeling has been enhanced by the assurance that GTCL has taken Resettlement and Rehabilitation option as to ensure PAPs’ socio economic interest. It should be mentioned here, in the implementation period; there are no restrictions of use will be applied beyond the ROW width. In addition, another important point is clarified here that the value of the standing crops will be determined DC with the assistance from the Agriculture Marketing Extension Services and any additional valuation by JIVT for compensation will be paid by the project. At the implementation period contracted NGO will implement CRP (Contracted Resettlement Plan) as per above legal framework and this will be included in the bidding document and section-15 of the matrix will be duly replaced.

Though the resettlement budget has been estimated on the above principles yet in future, it will be rearranged on the basis of the changed needs. So a tentative budget (Table-5.2) has been produced on available data. Details of the estimated amount are presented in Annex-5 as Resettlement Census Data. The resettlement cost estimate includes all costs regarding resettlement preparation, compensation for land and structures including relocation. GTCL will allocate necessary funds for the implementation of the plan. Table-5.2: Estimated Budget

Chapter-6 INSTITUTIONAL AND IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK

6.1 Organizational Responsibilities Clear definition is essential for presenting this chapter. Institutional or organizational responsibilities means the clear picture of responsibilities are to be done by different manpower involved in implementation of RP in different phases of work and also responsibilities assigned on the organization involved in performing the resettlement work. The requiring body will play various roles for implementation of RP. However on behalf of requiring body someone or some persons will do the job. So all responsibilities should be clearly identified. This chapter will show the clear idea in this regard. 6.1.1 Organizational Framework The Project Management is responsible for the resettlement of the people affected by the project. For efficient implementation and management of the resettlement activities, a Resettlement Unit (RU) headed by Manager (Resettlement) is to be established. The RU will be responsible for the implementation, management and monitoring of the RP for the BRGTP. The Project Coordination Unit (PCU) to be set up in GTCL for monitoring implementation of the Gas Transmission Component. This will provide overall coordination on land acquisition and resettlement activities for all subcomponents. The Project Management fully recognizes the very complex nature of the resettlement operation and the limited availability of personnel with relevant expertise. It will be neither practical nor feasible for the Project Management to develop all necessary in house expertise and capacity within reasonable period. It is therefore, necessary to delegate specific areas of work to specialized agencies such as experienced NGOs and similar other organization. The NGO’s experience with carrying out various socio-economic development programs and their ability to work closely with beneficiary population will be of great advantage in the implementation of the RP. In addition, Project Management will seek cooperation and participation of other government agencies such as District Administration, Forest Department, Agriculture Department as well as Lending Institutions in the implementation of the resettlement program. Project management will make arrangement for its entire staff of resettlement unit so that proper orientation is provided to them regarding resettlement activities. This would help the project implementation smooth. For women’s interest, ADB resettlement policy has strong recommendation to recruit female staff for better resettlement of woman stakeholders. So the project management should be dealing with this issue accordingly. The Project Management is responsible for:

Overall implementation of the Resettlement Plan within the policy guidelines of GOB including those of ADB.

Timely release of funds to the District Administration and to the resettlement unit is necessary to implement the resettlement program according to the approved implementation schedule.

Delegating appropriate responsibility and power to the Project Manager (Resettlement) as required for smooth implementation of the RP.

6.1.2 Resettlement Unit 6.1.2.1 Tasks The main tasks of the Resettlement Unit (RU) are:

Overall planning, implementation and monitoring of the resettlement program. Design and set up necessary computer facilities. Ensure that all APs are identified and provided with their respective entitlement

according to the resettlement policy. Ensure timely acquisition of lands by the district administration, and payment of

compensation prior to construction. Form JIVTs and make those operational. Monitor the effectiveness of entitlement packages and propose modification, to Project

Management, when necessary. Prepare Term of Reference for NGOs/other agencies that are to execute specified

components of resettlement program. Select and appoint NGO/agencies and monitor their progress. Prepare and submit monthly and quarterly progress report to Project Management. Study and monitor unforeseen adverse impacts during and after construction works. Liaise with other governmental and non-governmental agencies in the country on

matters of mutual interest related to resettlement.

6.1.2.2 Staff Organogram of the RU is shown at Figure-6.2. During the period of resettlement implementation, most of the staff will be deployed in the field. One Manager will be based in the field for the full duration of the resettlement works. Liaison between the field and Head Quarters i.e. Dhaka will be through bi-weekly visit of the Deputy Manager to the field office. Field workers will be recruited from the project area to assist in village level implementation of RP. The RP recommends that the field workers will be recruited by the implementing NGO. 6.1.2.3 Logistics One field office will be established at Natore and made operational. The field staff will be provided with necessary vehicles and other transport facilities. The Project Management will set up the field office. 6.1.2.4 Recruitment Recruitment, training and deployment of RU staff will be materialized soon with specific job description. And it would be done by internal arrangement of the GTCL.

The requiring body will coordinate and supervise the resettlement program through its Resettlement Unit(RU).The contracted NGO will implement the RP. All sorts of resettlement work will be done by the NGO on behalf of the requiring body including information campaign. The proposed budget is given in the relevant section. No separate budget is needed for information dissemination. Administrative cost is purely involved with the requiring body. Salary, administrative cost of the requiring body will be borne by the permanent budget provision of the GTCL 6.2 Time Schedule for RP Implementation The RP provides a series of resettlement activities. Of these, a number of activities have to be executed simultaneously for smooth implementation of the RP. As such, a time schedule for starting and finishing of each of the activities has been planned. Figure-6.3 shows the schedule of different resettlement activities with their starting and finishing dates. Tentative day for resettlement work will be finished within September 2006. But due to unavoidable causes, work will be delayed. In addition DC’s CCL payment may need more time due to legal procedure. So a cut off date for finishing the resettlement work will be suggested up to December 2007. Proposed date of construction work will be from July 2007. It may be mentioned here that the itemized activities of the Resettlement Plan (RP) will be scheduled to meet the legal time frame and timely implementation of the Project work. Land acquisition is an essential part of project implementation. A project having sufficient lead-time between fixing project alignment and actual start of construction does not face any difficulty in acquiring land. There exists a well-defined procedure of land acquisition as well as resettlement in Bangladesh. However, there are few pre-requisites to be completed before going into the process of land acquisition. These Pre-requisites are:

Approval of project document like TAPP/PCP/PP Approval of project plan Approval of land plan and land schedule Administrative approval of land requirement from the ministry, and Budget provision for land acquisition.

6.2.1 The timeframe of the civil works For reference, it will be mentioned here that the time schedule of construction of the gas pipeline. Tender floating, selection of contractor will start from January 2007. Construction work will start from July 2007 and will be completed by May 2008. 6.3 Step-wise land acquisition as well as resettlement process When the aforementioned pre-requisites are fulfilled, the step-wise activities of land acquisition

process to be followed are presented below: Submission of land acquisition proposal by the requiring body to the Deputy

Commissioner. Holding District Land Acquisition meeting and providing land allocation. Serving Notice under Section 3 to the affected persons. Joint verification. Final approval of land to be acquired by the Deputy Commissioner (for area of land 50

bighas or less) or the Land Ministry (for area of land over 50 bighas) on the basis of land area requirement.

Serving notice under Section 6 to settle any dispute Estimation of jointly verified property for cost compensation and informing requiring body. Acceptance of estimate of cost compensation and placement of fund to the Deputy

Commissioner by the requiring body. Serving Notice 7 by the Deputy Commissioner to the affected land owners for

disbursement of compensation. Disbursement of compensation as per estimate to the affected persons. Giving possession of land to the requiring body. CCL Payment by DC

DC will complete the payment within the year 2006 and will make major payments within the middle of 2006. The GTCL and implementing agency will give the proper support to the affected persons and will help the APs in collecting legal documents for CCL

Land acquisition is a continuous process. Within the year 2006 major acquisition activities will be carried out. If the requiring body is serious, fund is available and continuous liaise with the DC office acquisition will be earlier completed 6.4 Valuation of structures and trees Payment of compensation for structure is calculated according to DC’s joint verification record. Normally Public Works Department (PWD) calculates the price of the structure and on the basis of which the DC makes payment. Extra payment is usually decided by Property Valuation Advisory Team (PVAT), a joint committee formed by GTCL, DC and NGO’s representative. Similarly payment for trees is also calculated on the basis of DC’s joint verification document (a joint record by GTCL and DC’s representative). Then it is sent to concerned forest office of the government. They decide the price of trees. DC pays the amount. PVAT Committee will decide about additional price of trees from resettlement viewpoint. 6.4.1 RP Implementation It has been pointed out earlier that the implementation of the proposed project will require a minimum acquisition land for the construction of gas pipeline. As a result, timely payment of compensation relating to land acquisition will be needed. As this is a strip acquisition, compensation and impacts will be relatively low in comparison with other projects involving major land acquisition. The time allocated for land acquisition could be shorter if the requiring body is serious, fund is available and continuous liaison with the DC office is maintained. NGO hiring is set at three months consistent with other projects. The process will be through competitive bidding system; selection of NGO, analyzing their proposal both technical and financial and contract arrangement needs sufficient time. Information Campaign will commence July 2005 and will continue throughout implementation period. PAPs identification needs more time. As without DC’s payment no one legally will be

declared as affected person or entitled person. For receiving payments from DC office, one should have a lot of legal documents chronologically, but in Bangladesh it is difficult to show all the chronological documents, as most have no valid chronological documents. In the rural areas people are poor and illiterate. They have little knowledge about land related legal matters. In fact most land documents are not up-to-date in the rural areas. So legally PAPs identification by the DC office will take time. In this connection CCL payment needs more time. So, acquisition and PAPs identifications will not be same. After DC’s payment of reasonable number of affected person’s CCL, the implementing NGO can start identification of APs for further RP related payment and activities. In this case DC’s identification and NGO identification of APs has some difference in resettlement activities. One will have to understand the basic differences of DC’s identification and NGO identification of PAPs. Basically DC is not the part of resettlement. Relating ID cards, earlier activities will give better result. As discussed above, due to legal cause DC’s CCL payment takes time. Without DC’s identification of PAPs, making ID card is not possible. If earlier payment can be ensured by DC ID cards and subsequent activities will be started earlier. Regarding payment of compensation hand-to-hand payment is not possible. In present system confirming legal documents of affected persons, a cross-cheque will be issued in favor of APs. Cash money may be lost, snatched or will be consumed by the poor APs, it is proved in earlier project. So, account payee cheque for compensation is a safety for the APs. Same situation is also applicable in case of training and micro-credit. The APs who are not directly depends on DC’s payment for identification. All the resettlement activities will be started earlier. Finally it can be suggested; if possible; all resettlement activities for income restoration will be started earlier and should be completed before the construction of civil work. RP implementation is very important in case of resettlement. Without proper RP implementation smooth work of the project will not be completed. That is why a time bound RP implementation is needed. As here a small proportion of people are affected, six months resettlement work is suggested. An experienced Non Government Organization will do the job. The starting of NGO activity will be from the serving of Section–3 notice from the DC office up to six month. GTCL will safeguard the interest of the affected persons before deploying NGO. On the other hand at the implementation period, GTCL and concerned NGO will verify the necessity of the income generating training. The cost will be from the project fund for major income loser due to the project. Care is to be confirmed that no affected persons will be shifted at least without paying transfer grant especially for business and structure loser and crop loser without providing income restoration grant. The EA for the project is the Gas Transmission Company Limited (GTCL). A Project Management Office (PMO) is responsible for processing, coordinating, and supervising all such projects. The PMO through its RU will have overall coordination, planning implementation, management and monitoring and financing responsibilities for the RP. The EA will ensure that key institutions including the local government are involved in RP implementation. Further, experienced NGOs will be hired for RP implementation with clearly defined tasks, including training and community-based social development programs as appropriate.

Chapter-7 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

7.1 Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring & Evaluation is an important task for measuring the periodic progress of activities under resettlement program. This helps to identify the constrains/bottlenecks in the progress as well as to determine remedial measures. Resettlement being a complex nature of task needs development and establishment of Computerized Management Information System (CMIS). The main objective of the CMIS is to provide the management of the project with an efficient tool for better planning and control of different project tasks. The major input in to the system will be:

• Affected household data • Land acquisition data • Data on losses • Resettlement entitlement and delivery data • Resettlement monitoring and evaluation data • Other management related data • Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are critical for ensuring effective

implementation of the RP and achievement of the set targets. Resettlement monitoring is a continuous process of data collection, dialogue with the various stakeholders, analysis and reporting and feedback to management to enable timely adjustment of implementation procedures and entitlements, if required.

• The monitoring will commence with the commencement of the Project implementation and shall continue throughout the implementation of the Project.

• A format for resettlement implementation monitoring has been devised for monthly monitoring and data collection by field officials (Table-7.1). GTCL will prepare a post-resettlement evaluation report at the end of the Project activity. The report should provide evidence whether adverse effects of the project have been mitigated adequately or at least pre-project standard of living and income have been restored as a result of the RP.

Some monitoring indicators are given below. This will be proper guideline for implementation and monitoring of RP. The GRC, implementing agency, GTCL RU and Accounts section will develop standard reporting formats will be submitted on a monthly basis highlighting constraints and suggestion for implementing of RP. GTCL RU will arrange monthly review meeting with assistance of implementing agency for identifying the problems and proper suggestions will be given to the implementing NGO and minutes will be sent to the concerned persons and higher authority. For smooth implementation of the affected person’s problem GRC will have a direct contact with the field. He will make monthly report for higher authority and will suggest the higher authority for both IA and GTCL.

Page-50

The NGO/agencies executing by the program will monitor APs participating in the vocational training and other economic rehabilitation program. Records will be kept of attendance and maintenance paid. Post resettlement socio economic survey for evaluation will be carried out in the beginning of 2007and TOR will be developed by a resettlement expert engaged by the GTCL. The survey document will be the final project document. Computerized Management Monitoring System will be developed by the implementing NGO and will be supplied to the GTCL and implementing NGO and GTCL will preserve data. 7.2 Internal and External Monitoring Implementation of the RP will be monitored regularly. A Computerized Management Information System (CMIS) will be established to provide: Integrity of data records, better planning and decision making, improved resettlement services, problem detection on resettlement issues, and project expenses and implementation within limits and schedules. The CMIS will provide: household files for APs containing losses and entitlement, scheduled monitoring reports, progress reports, and financial reports. The PMO will establish a quarterly monitoring system involving staff of the IAs and implementing NGO staff. The PMO will prepare progress reports on all aspects of land acquisition and resettlement activities. The report contains progress made in RP implementation with particular attention to compliance with the principles and matrix set out in the plan. Independent audit teams/monitoring agency/experts will be hired by the GTCL with ADB concurrence to carry out external monitoring of the resettlement operations. The External monitor’s report should be submitted simultaneously to the GTCL and ADB. The monitoring consultant will be selected within three months of loan approval. Monitoring will be carried out every year during project implementation. For efficient implementation and management of the RP, some review work is needed. This will be internal and external. The authority will produce monthly and quarterly report for monitoring the progress. From out side GTCL will engage efficient consultant for total review of the project after the implementation period. At the same time ADB and other stakeholders may arrange separate study to monitor the implementation of RP. A mid term internal evaluation is suggested for the affected person at the implementation period. Table-7.1: Monthly Progress Report Format for Resettlement Monitoring

7.3 Conclusion As per resettlement guidelines, any involuntary resettlement should have all viable scope in compensating the project-affected persons. Displaced persons should be i) compensated for their losses ii) assisted with the move iii) assisted in their efforts to improve their socio economic condition. In fact, all problems should be solved amicably and from resettlement viewpoint. So, the sufferer should be given all supports in regaining their previous socio economic condition as early as possible. With a view to mitigating the adverse impact of the land acquisition according to the ADB’s safeguard requirements of the project affected persons GTCL, has to include resettlement component in the project designs. It is observed from the field response data that the possible project affected persons (PAP’s) and the general public depicted very positive views towards the gas sector development of the country in general and execution of this particular project along their localities in particular. The stakeholders and the affected groups have participated in the field assessment and consultation process with best of their co-operation. It is recognized that land is alternative sources of income, so through skill training, housing, infrastructure and other compensation should be provided, wherever applicable, to the project affected persons (PAPs) who had usufruct or customary right to the land or other resources of the project. Accordingly, it has been presumed that all components of the project such as location, alignment, layout etc. of the pipeline, the effects on the homestead, agricultural land and other social factors shall be taken into account during planning and design stage of the project. Similarly the policy matrix would make the entitlement more precise and include operational aspects such as implementation issues and actors. Monitoring and evaluation is an important task for measuring the periodic progress of activities under resettlement program. This helps to identify the constraints in the progress as well as determine remedial measure. Resettlement being a complex task needs development and establishment of computerized management information system (CMIS). The CMIS will provide information for better planning and proper decision-making on resettlement issues. If a single RU is established for 2 concurrent & adjacent projects for example, West Bank of Jamuna Bridge-Nalka, Hatikumrul-Bonpara-Ishwardi-Bheramara (101 km) and this Bonpara-Rajshahi (50Km) gas transmission pipeline project, such single unit may

reduce the overhead cost to the extent of 20%-25% of administrative cost thereby and the budget for same will be recasted accordingly.

Bonpara-Rajshahi (Group-B)

PLANNING OF GAS TRANSMISSION COMPANY LTD. (GTCL) FOR THE GAS SUPPLY TO THESE AREAS

Background: The Government of Bangladesh (GOB) has given priority to the overall socio-economic development of the country by ensuring the optimum use of natural gas. Due to lack of fuel supply, sufficient growth of industries and power stations has not been developed in the north-west parts of the country. Construction of Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge has produced an excellent road communication system to the western part of the country, especially to the divisional towns Rajshahi, Bogra, Rangpur and Dinajpur with the capital Dhaka and eastern part. Hence, proper environment of various types of industrial development has been created in the north-west and south-west parts of the country. Moreover, opportunities have been created to transmit and distribute gas to those areas through the installed gas pipe line over the Jamuna Bridge. Brief Description: In the light of the stated background and as per the proposal of GTCL, it has been planned to construct the gas transmission pipe lines of 24inches diameter and 50km in length from Bonpara to Rajshahi. With these lines, natural gas can be supplied to the power station of divisional city Rajshahi and north-western parts of the country for industrial, commercial and domestic uses. Therefore, the divisional city and district of towns Rajshahi, Bogra, Rangpur and Dinajpur can be brought into the national gas network for industrialization, growth of mills and factories, development of economic infrastructure and prevention of environmental pollution and further extension of gas supply to the north-west part of the country, such as Natore, Chapai Nawabganj and Naogaon, can be possible in future. Thus socio-economic development of the industrial consumers and general peoples of north-west part of the country and the reserves of foreign currency can be enhanced. Disadvantages: In this regard, it can be informed to you that, the implementation of the project will be started in your locality in forthcoming July of 2006 and necessary steps shall be taken for quick completion. Construction equipment and vehicles of the project area shall move within the road networks of your villages. Besides, temporary residences or camps will be made for the construction workers during the laying of pipe line. But no worker will enter into your village and the movement of the workers will be limited around their working places. Although the vehicle sound and dusts will create problems in your area but that will be very temporary, as necessary attempts will be made to complete the works as quickly as possible. Advantages: Temporary job opportunities can be created for some peoples of these areas. After the implementation of the project, more revenue can be earned in future by supplying natural gas to the power stations, industries and other consumers under the franchise areas of gas companies of Petrobangla. New income and employment opportunities for the female officers/staffs and other peoples will be created due to the establishment of gas based power stations, industrial organizations and development centers. Thus the economic infrastructure of the country will be developed. Total manpower of 32 staffs will be needed during the implementation of the project with the Project Manager on deputation. Project/contract based appointments shall be required for the manpower of the project viz: Deputy General Manager, Manager, Assistant Engineer, Assistant

Manager, Computer Operator, Cashier, Driver, Surveyor, MLSS, Security Guard etc. After the completion of the project, total manpower of 36 staffs will be needed during the operation phase.
