Summary

1. The Project.

The Provincial Roads Improvement Project aims at improving approximately 350 km length of

roads as about 150 Km in Uva and about 100 Kms each in Ampara and Jaffna. This RAP

prepared to cover only the 11 priority roads in Ampara district of Eastern Province (see table 1.1

of chapter 1), for which the bidding documents are being completed.

Feasibility studies were carried out along the Social Impact Management Framework (SMIF)

which was disclosed in-country on May 5, 2009 and a revised SIMF was prepared and disclosed

in October 2009 (to account for inclusion of the roads in Jaffna in the Project). Road specific

Social Impact Assessments have carried out for Ampara district in Eastern Province and will be

carried out for the remaining provinces. An Entitlement Matrix has been prepared to define

categories of PAPs and types of mitigation measures.

The Resettlement Action Plan is prepared in compliance with the Government‘s National Policy

on Involuntary Resettlement and World Bank‘s Policies in particular, Operational Policy (OP)

4.12.

2. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement.

The study of the revised RAP was carried out based on each proposed road cross section width

(Including carriageway, shoulders and drains) (Annex-3.) Presently, only about 494 PAPs have

been impacted. Since the roads involve improvement and rehabilitation with limited widening

(within the existing RoW), the negative impacts are also limited. Land acquisition is not

envisaged nor is there any resettlement or relocation in this project. The project will only work

with land voluntarily donated by individuals/communities. For any donated land the project will

ensure that a participatory and transparent process has been followed and an agreement/MOU

signed between the donor and the recipient that will among other, ensures i) the ownership of the

land and voluntary nature of the donation, ii) that the land is appropriate for the intended purpose

iii) that the land does not belong to any donor who is below the poverty line or whose holding

would be reduced below the minimum size as stipulated to be economically viable ( 2.5 acres), iv)

that there are no encumbrances on the land, v) that it does not negatively impact on the livelihood

of any vulnerable group, and if so, that community developed mitigation measures are acceptable

to the affectees, vi) that no compensation will be paid for the land, and vii) that the owner gives

up all claims on the land and the title will be transferred to the recipient through the notary public

or a registered deed or any other procedure prescribed by the law of the state.

Most affectees have more than one type of loss. See annex 2 for details.

3. Socio-Economic Profile and Vulnerability of PAPs

The PAPs belong to 109 households. About 20 percent of affected persons are reported as

women. Majority of PAPs are Muslim followed by Sinhala and Tamils. These roads serve all the

3 communities who live in close proximity to these 11 roads.

iii

Agriculture is the main source of income but prices of agricultural goods are impacted by

middlemen who fix prices arbitrarily due to lack of access of farmers to markets as a result of

poor roads This also prevents other wholesale buyers from coming to these areas to buy the

agricultural produce.

Ampara district is one of the poorest area of the country and most the families of PAPs can be

categorized as families close to the poverty line of the country. Underemployment is common in

this area and some PAPs are involved in small business activities such as shops/boutiques.

Ampara district is comprised with flat and or undulate terrain. Besides being a poor region,

Ampara also lies in to the conflict areas and thus is impacted economically.

The project has developed a conflict filter that will be monitored during implementation.

4. Resettlement Policy and Entitlements

The policy and entitlements in this project have been built upon the requirements of the

Government of Sri Lanka, principally the Land Acquisition Act (1950 and revised in 1979) and

the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (2001) and also World Bank‘s Policy on

Involuntary Resettlement (O.P. 4. 12). Provisions and principles adopted in this RAP will

supersede the provisions of relevant acts or laws currently in force in Sri Lanka wherever a gap

exists or a waiver is required to meet the standards established in the National Involuntary

Resettlement Policy and World Bank‘s policy.

The Project entitlements have been designed to provide compensation, resettlement and

rehabilitation for lost assets and restore or enhance the livelihoods of all categories (directly and

indirectly affected, title holders and non-title holders) of affected people. Detail project

entitlement matrix is discussed in chapter 4.

5. Implementation Arrangements and Budget

The Project Director with support from the PIU along with the Provincial Directors will be

responsible to implement the project. Most of the issues related to resettlement have been

identified and mitigation provided in the RAP. The existing implementation arrangements for

implementing the RAP and the budgets are provided in chapter 7. Under the Entitlement matrix

all affected assets/infrastructure/livelihood etc. affected will be replaced/restored. The roles and

responsibilities of the different players are also identified in the RAP.

6. Participation and Grievance Redress Mechanism

The RAP follows the SIMF in the procedures for redressal and mitigation of the negative impacts.

The public will be informed about the grievances redressal mechanism and the PRDD will

continue informing the new development of the project to the public through the identified

communication and public awareness mechanism. Details are provided in chapter 6.

iv

The Grievances Redress mechanism is a multi-tiered one and aims to respond to the requirements

of the project over its life cycle. For minor matters the GN and the social staff of the project will

be responsible to respond to them. At the next level, complaints can be registered in the office of

the SE/DE through entering it in the complaint register. Complaints can be in verbal or written

forms but must be entered in the register. The complaints and their resolution status will be

closely monitored. At the next level the Grievance Redressal Committee can be called upon to

provide resolutions to complaints. Its composition and functions have been laid out in the RAP.

The RAP also provides a role to the Samatha Mandala (peace committee) established by the

Department of Justice.

7. Information Disclosure

Information disclosure is a very important aspect of the RAP and the project will ensure that all

relevant information is available to all stakeholders over the life of the project. Key information

on resettlement issues will be provided to the affected persons as well as the other stakeholders,

and agency staff in each sub project (road) area.

All Project documents including the SIMF were disclosed in May 2009 while the addendum/

revised SIMF were disclosed in October 2009. This will also be disclosed to the PAPs and other

stakeholder agencies through the existing mechanisms of communication. The executive

summary will be translated into the local languages and disclosed to all affectees, communities

and stakeholders. The PRDD will use its web-site also to disseminate the information of the RP.

8. Monitoring and Evaluation

A monitoring and reporting system has been provided in the RAP.

However, the project will improve the process of monitoring. The improved monitoring

mechanism will help to achieve following specific objectives.

(i) to ensure that the livelihood systems/ activities of the public are not disturbed by the

project

(ii) to monitor whether the time lines are being met;

(iii) to assess if compensation, rehabilitation measures are sufficient;

(iv) to identify problems or potential problems; and

(v) to identify methods for responding immediately to mitigate problems.

9 Total Cost of the Plan.

The impacted infrastructure and costs have been revisited with the new information and the

total cost of mitigation is SL Rs. 77057800/-

1 Project Background

1. The Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) has requested financing from the World Bank (WB) to

undertake a Provincial Roads Improvement Project to upgrade and rehabilitate dilapidated provincial road

infrastructure. Provincial roads are the key connectors between the rural and the national networks. The

proposed project is aimed at improving the reliability and efficiency of management of provincial roads

that facilitate the access to provincial productive markets by (a) rehabilitating provincial roads

infrastructure in selected prioritized areas, and (b) supporting development of technical capacity at the

provincial level to improve their ability to manage their assets.

2. The proposed project is for the improvement of provincial roads in the Uva Province (UP), Ampara

district of Eastern Provinces (EP) and Jaffna from the Northern Province (NP), of Sri Lanka, and is being

prepared to provide beneficiaries with improved sustainable road transport by enhancing quality, durability,

efficiency, and economic benefits from the provincial road network. Furthermore, the project will enhance

the accessibility to the national road network in the UP the EP and the NP

3. The project plans to improve roads totalling 350 km in UP, EP and NP districts. This Resettlement

Action Plan only covers the 11 roads identified as priority roads in Ampara district of Eastern. Table

1.1 provides details of the roads covered in this RAP. The roads selected for Ampara have been

reconfirmed through consultations in the field while a similar exercise will be followed for selecting the

roads in Jaffna in the NP.

5. The Resettlement Action Plan benefited from the work conducted under the SIMF and the Social

Impact Assessment that resulted in the:

Development and implementation of the social criteria for screening the roads

Identification of likely social impacts both positive and negative

Assessment of social safeguards triggered and

Development of mitigation measures

6. As a part of project preparation the roads were selected through a series of studies and consultation

exercises including the feasibility study conducted in 2008 where the selection criteria included among

other, poverty of the area, condition of the roads, access to services, connectivity, inclusion (access to all

ethnic groups) etc. This was strengthened through consultations held during March to June 2008 and

reconfirmed during the preparation of the Social Impact Management Framework and the Social Impact

Assessment in May 2009 and October 2009.

1.1 Scope of the Resettlement Action Plan:

7. The Bank‘s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement requires the preparation of a Resettlement Action

Plan if more than 200 persons are impacted negatively by any intervention funded by the World Bank.

Land acquisition is the trigger for this Operational Policy. The Resettlement Action Plan needs to be a

time-bound action plan with appropriate budget provisions and should be incorporated as an integral part of

the project design. Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are people of any age, skill level, or socio-economic

circumstance who may be losing land or assets/infrastructure/livelihood etc. Thus OP 4.12 requires that a

Plan be prepared that sets out all the compensation and rehabilitation support to be provided to any person,

family or household who on account of the execution of the project would have his/her or their standard of

living adversely affected. It focuses on those who may lose residential house, land including agricultural

and grazing land, commercial properties, tenancy, right in annual or perennial crops and trees or any other

fixed or moveable assets, income earning opportunities, business, occupation etc. These losses are

identified during the process of developing the resettlement plan.

8. Keeping in view the above, the objectives of this Resettlement Action Plan include the following

for the priority roads of Ampara:

Identification of affected persons, in order to determine the persons likely to be adversely impacted

by project works and the severity and extent of the respective impacts. This also includes as

assessment of impact on their assets, infrastructure, livelihood etc. located in the Right of Way

(RoW) or in the Corridor of Impact (CoI) of the selected project roads (along with an income and

asset survey).

Identify poor and vulnerable groups with strategies to ensure that such groups benefit from the

project

Ensure adequate stakeholder consultation and participation

Review of the legal and other management framework.

Develop mitigation measures in consultation with affectees/stakeholders

A detailed implementation plan

M&E and reporting system for the RAP

A resettlement budget.

1.2 Summary of Key Issues

9. The review of the existing land acquisition law and compensation process as well as discussion

with project affectees, stakeholders, PRDD staff and team members implementing other road projects has

led to a number of key conclusions being made in the resettlement plan. These are as follows:

a. Issues Relating to Compensation

The existing compensation process is unnecessarily complex and time consuming. APs can receive

up to four different payments with payments for each being made at different times. Further, there

is a provision in Sri Lanka‘s law for the compensation payment to be made in instalments that

further delays the receipt of full compensation by APs.

This prolongs the land acquisition process, effectively preventing APs from being able to make an

immediate start on restoration of their livelihoods. However, land acquisitions are not envisaged in

this Project and land requirements will be met through land donated voluntarily by individuals/

communities for the project. Therefore, compensation for land is not an issue.

b. Issues Relating to Grievance Redress

A grievance redress process will be established for the project. This along with the existing

mechanisms for conflict resolution will be implemented in a transparent manner.

c. Issues Relating to Consultation & Provision of Information

Prior to any investigation or commencement of surveys the project must establish a relationship

with the Provincial Directors, Divisional Engineers, Grama Niladaris, and also the Divisional

Secretaries along the subproject routes. Engaging in dialogues from the outset with affected people

and stakeholders through the existing communication structure will provide transparency and allow

for a consistent and clear message to be sent out regarding their rights and entitlements. Provision

of project information to affected communities and APs in a timely manner is critical.

4

1.3 Methodology

10. The data and information for the analysis of socio economic condition of the project area were

obtained from primary and secondary sources, The primary sources include feasibility studies carried by

ADB in 2008, consultations held with stakeholders including beneficiaries/affectees residing contagious to

the some of the selected roads, by the preparation missions, as well as information collected through field

visits, census of project affectees, surveys and consultations/focus group discussion undertaken for the

preparation of the SIMF, SIA and RAP. Secondary data included information of the Census and Statistics

Department, the PRSP Report and other publications of the World Bank.

1.3.1 Study 1: Type of information collected by feasibility study (2008)

11. Apart from data obtained from secondary sources, the consultants collected socio economic data

along with information through field surveys on road corridors and ROWs. The feasibility studies

undertook social feasibility of the proposed roads to assess the degree of social significance of improving

the roads; identified general issues; road specific issues (both positive and negative) proposals for

enhancing the positive impacts and mitigating the negative impacts etc. The study also undertook Initial

Poverty and Social Analyses. The identified properties that might be impacted positively or negatively

during the project implementation period include houses, commercial establishments, fences, boundary

walls, and road specific information such as dangerous road bends and sections that need expansion etc. of

the roads. They also undertook a review of all Bank‘s Operational Policies to determine if any were

triggered and if so, to provide mitigation measures.

1.3.2 Study 2: The information collected for the Social Impact Management Framework

(SIMF) (February 2009).

12. The consultations for the SIMF was carried out on all the roads screened out of the in the feasibility

study and selected to be a part of this project. These roads were reconfirmed by the communities through

consultations. In addition, information leading to the preparation of the stakeholders consultation strategy,

the grievance redressal mechanism, the entitlement framework, the implementation framework etc. were

collected, collated and the report prepared. The triggers for the social safeguards were also identified. The

Report thus provided the guidelines and procedures for the preparation of the Resettlement Plan.

1.3.3 Study 3: Information collected for the Social Impact Assessment and the RAP (May and

October 2009)

13. The Social Impact Assessment was launched for Ampara in October 2009 with the aim of

determining the magnitude of social impact on affectees and communities in terms of exact losses. This

included a census of all affected persons along with affected assets, infrastructure, livelihood, utilities to be

impacted, any land to be donated, any loss of access to houses or economic /income earning sources ( that

will need to be replaced) etc. Other information included an income/asset survey, a socio economic study

of the project area (macro information). An assessment of the social safeguards triggered and a revalidation

of information collected for the SIMF to enable the development of the social mitigation plans such as the

Resettlement Plan.

5

14. Thus the data collected for preparation of this Resettlement Action Plan of the Project include the

following:

Land required through voluntary donation

Houses affected

Commercial establishments impacted

Parapet walls, fences and gates to be demolished

Other structures such as wells, latrines etc.

Public institutions and religious/ cultural centres impacted

Public utilities impacted (including telephone, electricity etc.)

Privately owned trees to be removed

Any loss to income earning sources/loss of livelihood

Any squatters/encroachers that need to be removed temporarily

Loss of community owned assets/infrastructure etc.

15. The 100% household survey was carried out with owners of affected properties/assets/livelihood

etc., for the 11 roads.

The secondary data: Secondary data for preparation of this Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) was

collected mainly from documents of department of census and statistics and other similar studies

carried out in the country, along with use of World Bank publications.

Consultations: Stakeholder consultations were undertaken at all stages of the project, for

preparation of feasibility, the SIMF the SIA and RAP. The groups of people consulted include all

stakeholders. Special attention was paid to include women and all ethnic groups including Tamils,

Singhala and Muslims in the consultation process (For details please see chapter 5).

2 Baseline Information of the country and the Project area

2.1 Profile of Sri Lanka

16. The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) is an island in the

Indian Ocean about 28 kilometres (18 miles) off the south-eastern coast of India with a population of about

19 million. Density is highest in the southwest where Colombo, the country's capital, main port and

industrial centre, is located. The net population growth is about 1.3%. Sri Lanka is ethnically,

linguistically, and religiously diverse1 .

17. Sinhalese make up 74% of the population and are concentrated in the densely populated southwest.

Ceylon Tamils, whose south Indian ancestors have lived on the island for a long time, total about 12% and

live predominantly in the north and east. Indian Tamils, represent about 5% of the population. Other

minorities include Muslims (Moors and Malays), at about 7% of the population, Burghers, (who are

descendants of European colonists, principally from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (U.K.) and

the aboriginal Veddahs. Most Sinhalese are Buddhist; most Tamils are Hindu. The majority of Sri Lanka's

Muslims practice Sunni Islam. Sizable minorities of both Sinhalese and Tamils are Christians, most of

whom are Roman Catholic2.

2.1.1 Economy

18. Sri Lanka is a lower-middle income developing nation with a Gross Domestic Product of about

$23.5 billion. This translates into a per capita income of $1,200. Sri Lanka‘s 90 percent literacy rate in

local languages and life expectancy of 72 years rank well above those of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

English language is spoken by a large number of people.

19. Sri Lanka‘s income inequality is severe, with striking differences between rural and urban areas.

About a quarter of the country‘s population of 19.7 million remains impoverished.

20. Despite a brutal civil war that raged from 1983, economic growth averaged around 4.5% in the last

ten years. In 2001, however, GDP growth was negative (-1.4%), the only contraction since independence.

Growth recovered to 4.0% in 2002. Following the 2002 ceasefire and subsequent economic reforms, the

economy grew more rapidly, recording growth rates of 6.0% in 2003 and 5.4% in 2004. The economic

situation in Sri Lanka in 2005 was remarkably stable, despite the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami,

which killed 32,000 people, displaced 443,000, and caused an estimated $1 billion in damages. In 2007 the

growth was 6.8 percent.

21. The service sector is the largest component of GDP at 55.8%. In 2005-6, the service sector

continued its strong expansion, fuelled primarily by strong growth in telecom, trading and financial

services. The tourism sector suffered in 2005 following the tsunami. While beach resorts have been rebuilt,

tourism remains well below its potential.

22. Manufacturing accounts for about 16% of GDP. The textile, apparel, and leather products sector is

the largest, accounting for 39.5% of the total industrial output. The second-largest group in the industrial

sector at 22.4% of total manufacturing output is food, beverages, and tobacco. The third-largest group is

chemical, petroleum, rubber, and plastic products. The construction sector accounts for 7.2% of GDP and

has posted strong growth rates in 2005-6, Mining and quarrying accounts for 1.9%.

23. Agriculture has lost its relative importance to the Sri Lankan economy in the recent past. It employs

33% of the working population, but accounts for only 17.2% of GDP. Rice, the staple cereal, is cultivated

extensively. The plantation sector consists of tea, rubber, and coconut. In the recent years, tea has made

significant contributions to export earnings3 .

2.1.2 Important social indicators of Sri Lanka

24. According to studies by Centre for Economic and Policy Research, Sri Lanka has made significant

progress in the realm of social development over the last few decades, while also achieving impressive

economic growth. Sri Lanka‘s human Development index4 reflects this progress, improving over the years

from 0.616 in 1975, to 0.697 in 1990 and to 0.741 in 2000.

25. Sri Lanka's health and demographic indicators are comparable with those of far wealthier Asian

nations due to a wide range of pro-poor policies and programs including subsidized health and education,

targeted food subsidies, subsidized transport, and broad-based family planning services, which have been

in existence for several decades5 .

26. In 1960 Sri Lanka‘s life expectancy at birth was 60.1 years, in 1980 it was 67.6 years, and in 2000 it

had increased to 73.1 years.

2.1.3 Poverty and conflict:

27. The Eastern and Northern Provinces have been most severely affected by the decade-long fighting

and subsequent displacements. Many of the displaced people who returned to Eastern Province face a

challenging environment with restricted access to fields and fishing waters because of security reasons, and

difficulty in the restoration of civilian life due to the presence of paramilitary groups. Inadequate and

restricted transport services, poor quality roads, and access to credit remain the main impediments to

growth and poverty reduction. Before the conflict, the agriculture and fishing sector contributed a

substantial share to national GDP, but now, due to transportation difficulties and the trade embargo,

commercial agriculture in the East has transformed into subsistence agriculture.

2.1.4 Provincial Road Network.

28. The provincial road network, estimated at about 15,700 km6, constitutes about 14 percent of the

country‘s total road network. It provides the key connection between the rural and the national networks.

6 Public Expenditure Review of Provincial Roads in Eastern, North Central and Uva Provinces.

9

Due to the long-running conflict and a lack of consistent funding for provincial roads over the past 20

years, little maintenance or rehabilitation of the network has taken place. The roads in the provincial

network are mostly in an advanced state of deterioration, with extensive pot holing, breakup of bitumen

surfacing, broken and inadequate culverts and pavement failure. Only 9 percent of the provincial roads

(total 1098 km) in Eastern Province and 21 percent in Uva Province (total 1741 km) are in good condition.

These roads were recently rehabilitated under the Asian Development Bank (ADB)-Financed Road Sector

Development Project. The mountainous topography of Uva contributes to the poor quality of the road

network, through increasing the rate of road deterioration, and by increasing road maintenance and

construction costs.

29. The road net work as a whole play a significant role in providing inputs for economic development.

Improved roads net work opens the rural areas to the urban centres. Similarly roads are also instrumental in

connecting urban centres to the international markets. Thus road improvement projects contribute to a

country by opening its economy to the international markets and at the local level, they contribute to

regional economic development and help reduce poverty.

2.2 Socio-economic Context in the Project Area.

30. The project covers the Uva Province (UP) a section of the Eastern province (EP) and Northern

Province (NP) that have distinct geographical and socio-economic characters. The district of Ampara has a

flat terrain and is mostly covered with paddy fields and forest reservations while many areas of the UP are

covered by steep range of mountains

31. Ampara District is Eastern Province‘s highest populated district, with 589344 persons. Agriculture

to be the main occupation in the project areas and there are some small and medium scale industries such as

garment factories, mining and tourism industries, trade, etc.

32. Agriculture and fisheries are the main sources of income of the people in the area. But the income

generated through agriculture is seasonal and fluctuates according to the market trend, and the prices of

agricultural products tend to get fixed by a few middlemen who have links with urban centres. Farmers are

unable to sell their products to the urban buyers due to lack of proper transportation in the area and are thus

dependent on middlemen who have a monopoly of the farmer‘s products and can exploit them. As a result

farmers are unable to improve their income. It is hopes that improved roads will help improved the farmers

income and bargaining position.( see annex for details)

33. Of the 3 districts Badulla has the highest urban population while, Monaragala and Ampara are

typically rural with small urban population. This project is expected to focus on upgrading, rehabilitating

and maintaining the priority provincial roads in UP and Ampara District of EP where provincial roads are

considered to be the key connectors between the rural and the national networks. In the long run, the

project will help improve the livelihood of people in these districts, ushering in many positive social

impacts

34. The Uva Province comprises two districts namely, Badulla and Monaragala. Badulla has the

somewhat urban and Moneragala is predominantly rural. Agriculture is the main occupation. Some few

areas of the province suffered considerably from ethnic conflict. Badulla is a multi-ethnic district, with the

10

majority being Sinhala (558,218). The second largest ethnic group in the district is Indian Tamil (141087).

Ethnic composition of Ampara differs from Badulla and Monaragala. (See details in table 2). The largest

Sri Lankan Moor population (245,089) is found in the Ampara.

35. Gender has been a focus of the RP and about15 percent of the affectees are women, all of whom

have been consulted and their opinion used to inform the RP.

Administrative Units:

36. There are two administrative systems in all districts, namely, the central government/state

administration and the provincial council (PC) administration7. The portfolio of tasks is defined in the

constitution and the Provincial Council Act. Public roads are divided into 4 categories, where category A

and B are administered by the central government and its ministries, departments, authorities, institutions,

etc, while category C and D roads are administered by the respective PCs. Other rural and municipal roads

are managed by Pradeshiya Saba (PS) and Municipal Councils (MC) or Urban Councils8 (UC).

7 The provincial council administration was introduced in 1987 after the 13th amendment to the constitution. 8 Municipal Councils, Urban Councils, and Pradeshiya Sabas are constituted by local level politicians and their administration of respective areas.

3 Legal Frame work: National Policies and Social Safeguards Policies of the Bank

37. The mitigation measures will be implemented under the national laws and policies of Sri Lanka as

well as the World Bank. The relevant polices and laws are described in this chapter.

Sri Lanka’s Laws and policies

Land Acquisition Act

The law governing acquisition of land for public purposes is the Land Acquisition Act (LAA), enacted in

1950 and which has been the subject of several amendments and revisions, the latest being 1979. The LAA

sets out the procedures for acquiring land and for payment of compensation for acquired land.

A notice is issued specifying that land is potentially required for a public purpose, and this permits

authorized personnel to undertake investigations (surveys, boreholes, and setting out of boundaries etc) to

determine suitability. If the land is deemed suitable for the public purpose a written declaration to that

effect is made, and notices are issued describing the land, the intention to acquire the land, and requiring

that persons with an interest in the land notify (in writing) the acquiring officer of their claim (including the

expected amount of compensation).

The acquiring officer then holds an inquiry into the market value of the land, the claims for compensation,

and the respective interests of the claimants, as well as any other related matters. At the conclusion of the

inquiry the acquiring officer either makes a decision on the claims or refers the claims to the District Court

or Primary Court.

Following the decision (either by the acquiring officer or the courts), the acquiring officer makes an award

determining the persons who are entitled to compensation, the total amount of compensation deemed to be

allowed for the acquisition, and the apportionment of the compensation between the persons with interest

in the land. In the event of a dispute over the determination, it may be appealed to either the compensation

Review Board or Court of Appeal (on questions of law following a decision by the Compensation Review

Board), provided that the appeal is lodged within 21 days of receipt of notification of the award.

Provided that there are no appeals, the compensation is paid (the LAA allows for an initial payment and the

remainder to be paid in instalments). If the person with an interest in the land has agreed to a land exchange

in lieu of cash, the transfer is put into effect at this time. After the awards are made the Minister publishes

or gazettes a ―vesting order‖ for the possession of the land, after which time occupants of any buildings

located on the land to be vested are given notice to vacate.

One of the inadequacies of the LAA is that the onus to prove ownership or interest in, demonstrate clear

title to, gather all information and submit a compensation claim in respect of land to be acquired, is on the

AP. Often APs are not aware of their rights or timeframes to be observed under the LAA, or they are aware

but are ill-equipped to deal with the procedures required and are also not experienced in dealing with

various officials and documentation.

12

38. APs often face serious delays in the land acquisition process due to inquiries that can go on for

several days, and the fact that they are conducted by Divisional Secretaries who often do not have

experience or are unable to interpret legal documents or decide complicated.

39. As noted earlier the LAA provides for an initial payment (Rs25,000) and then the balance of

compensation which is to be paid ―…in not more than ten equal instalments, so that the entire balance

compensation is paid before the lapse of ten years from the date of payment of the said sum of Rs 25,000‖

[Section 29 (ii)]. Clearly, so as to permit APs to restore their livelihoods within a short a period as possible

after the time of land acquisition, payment of compensation and allowances (and initiation of livelihood

restoration and support measures) must be effected in a lump sum.

40. It is clear that the compensation process as set out in the LAA is inherently flawed, APs can receive

up to four different payments at different times (the statutory compensation (Section 17 of the LAA), the

―top-up‖ compensation referred to as the LARC payment, the ex-gratia payment, and then interest on any

compensation amount not paid) and the statutory payment can be paid in instalments therefore, further

delaying the receipt of full compensation. This prolongs the land acquisition process, effectively prevents

APs from being able to immediately restore their livelihoods.

3.1.1 National Policy on Involuntary Resettlement

The objectives of the NIRP:

Avoid, minimize and mitigate negative impacts of involuntary resettlement by facilitating the re-

establishment of the affected people on a productive and self sustaining basis. The policy should

also facilitate the development of the APs and the project;

Ensure that APs are fully and promptly compensated and successfully resettled.

The livelihoods of any and all displaced persons should be re-established and their standard of

living improved;

Ensure that no impoverishment of people shall result as a consequence of compulsory land

acquisition for development purposes by the state;

Assist APs in dealing with the psychological, cultural, social and other stresses caused by

compulsory land acquisition;

Make all APs aware of processes available for the redress of grievances that are easily accessible

and immediately responsive; and

Have in place a consultative, transparent and accountable involuntary resettlement process with a

time frame agreed to by the project executing agency and APs.

13

41. Adhering to the foregoing objectives, the scope of the NIRP includes all development induced land

acquisition, or recovery of possession, by the State. The NIRP requires that a comprehensive resettlement

action plan be prepared where twenty or more families are affected. In cases where less than twenty

families are affected the NIRP still requires a plan but states that this can be prepared to a lesser level of

detail. The NIRP applies to all projects regardless of source of funding.

42. The Ministry of Lands (MOL) has the overall institutional responsibility for implementing the

NIRP, and has established a Resettlement Division to coordinate implementation. A number of technical

guidelines are provided to assist the MOL and project executing agencies in planning, implementing,

monitoring and evaluating all involuntary resettlement impacts.

43. Four sets of guidelines have so far been prepared. Copies of the guidelines are available from

MOL. Sinhalese and Tamil translations of the documents are currently being prepared. With support from

ADB, over 130 persons from Government, NGOs, universities, district and divisional administrations, and

local authorities have been trained in involuntary resettlement.

3.1.2 Other Laws and Regulations of the Country

44. Sri Lanka has various laws established to ensure fair and equitable decisions taken on various issues

related to people of the country. These laws are not explained in detailed in this section but they are

referred here to substantiate the availability of the required legal provisions of the country. The key laws

available for the social safety system in the country are mentioned below.

Industrial regulation act of Sri Lanka

The employee compensation act

Act of labour unions

The act of employment of women, teenagers and children

Act for employment of women in mining industry (exclusively focused on women)

National Child Protection act

National Thoroughfares Act

Rent Act no 7 of 1972 and the Ceiling on House Property Law No.1 of 1973

3.1.3 Social Safeguards Relating to Project

45. The environmental and resettlement related regulations and guidelines of the World Bank have been

spelled out in the World Bank Operational Manual comprising documents relating to Operational Policies

14

(OP) and Bank Procedures (BP). For the purpose of this report references have been made to Operational

Policies. The applicable safeguard policies of the Bank in case of rehabilitation project are:

Operational Policy 4.01 Environmental Assessment

Operational Policy 4.04 Natural Habitats

Operational Policy 4.10 Indigenous People

Operational Policy 4.11 Management of Cultural Property

Operational Policy 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement

Operational Policy 4.36 Forests

Operational Policy 7.60 Projects in Disputed Areas

Operational Policy 17.50 Disclosure of Operational Information

Provisions of Bank’s Safeguards Policies

46. The World Bank‘s Safeguards Polices are described in the section below with indication on OPs

that are triggered in the Project, based on the field investigations/consultations/surveys undertaken.

3.2 Operational Policy-4.01-Environmental Assessment

47. Operational Policy 4.01 identifies the general policy of the World Bank about the EIA, lays down

the procedures and guidelines for conducting EIA of the projects including the aspects to be considered in

EIA, public consultation and information disclosure procedures. This policy requirement has already been

investigated by the project in the initial stage. The essential actions to be taken in response to this policy

have been addressed in the environmental management plan already prepared (EMP).

3.2.1 Operational Policy-4.04 –Natural Habitat

48. Operational Policy 4.04 deals with the conservation of natural habitats. Similar to OP 4.01 the

requirements of the OP 4.04 have been addressed in the EMP prepared for the project.

3.2.2 Operational Policy-4.10-Indigenous Peoples

49. Definition of Indigenous People: The Provincial Roads will use the World Bank‘s guidelines to

identify IPs in particular geographic areas by examining the following characteristics:

Close attachment to ancestral territories and natural resources therein;

Self-identification by the IPs themselves and identification by others as members of distinct

cultural groups;

Use of an indigenous language often different than the predominant language (even if they use

other languages in dealing with the non-indigenous peoples);

Presence of customary social and political institutions; and

Presence of a primarily subsistence production system.

15

50. In fostering full respect for their dignity, human rights and cultural uniqueness, a Bank-financed

project has to ensure that indigenous peoples do not suffer adverse impacts in the development process, and

that they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits. The Bank policy (OP 4.10 on

Indigenous Peoples) requires that the sub-projects be carefully screened to identify whether there are

indigenous peoples living in the project areas, and that informed participation of the IPs themselves must

be undertaken to identify local concerns and preferences through direct consultations with the IPs and

incorporation of indigenous knowledge into project planning approaches. This policy contributes to the

Bank‘s mission of poverty reduction and sustainable development by ensuring that the development

process fully respects the dignity, human rights, economies, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples. For all

projects that are proposed for Bank financing and affect Indigenous Peoples, the Bank requires the

borrower to engage in a process of free, prior, and informed consultation. The Bank provides project

financing only where free, prior, and informed consultation results in broad community support to the

project by the affected Indigenous Peoples. Such Bank-financed projects include measures to (a) avoid

potentially adverse effects on the Indigenous Peoples‘ communities; or (b) when avoidance is not feasible,

minimize, mitigate, or compensate for such effects. Bank-financed projects are also designed to ensure that

the Indigenous Peoples receive social and economic benefits that are culturally appropriate and gender and

inter-generation inclusive. As proposed in the project , the roads require only rehabilitation, paving and

some widening ( but within the ROW) and the consultations held under the Social Impact management

Framework and the Social Impact Assessments did not identify any indigenous people as defined by OP

4.10 in the project area. Hence this Policy is not triggered. However, during implementation, should any

such group get identified the Project will prepare an Indigenous Peoples Development Plan (IPDP) in

conformity with OP 4.10, get it cleared by the Bank and implement it.

3.2.3 Operational Policy-4.11-Cultural Property

51. This policy addresses physical cultural resources, which are defined as movable or immovable

objects, sites, structures, groups of structures, and natural features and landscapes that have archaeological,

pale-ontological, historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or other cultural significance. Physical

cultural resources may be located in urban or rural settings, and may be above or below ground, or under

water. Their cultural interest may be at the local, provincial or national level, or within the international

community.

52. The Bank assists countries to avoid or mitigate adverse impacts on physical cultural resources from

development projects that it finances. The impacts on physical cultural resources resulting from project

activities, including mitigating measures, may not contravene either the borrowers‘ national legislation, or

its obligations under relevant international environmental treaties and agreements. The Bank adheres to the

following project financing policies:

The Bank finances only those projects that are sited and designed so as to prevent significant

damages to non-replicable cultural property. This policy pertains to any project where the Bank is

involved, irrespective of whether the Bank is itself financing the part of the project that may affect

cultural property.

Deviation from this policy may be justified only where expected project benefits are great, and the

loss of or damage to cultural property is judged by competent authorities to be unavoidable, minor,

or otherwise acceptable. The Bank also requires a discussion with specific details for their

justification in the documents.

The Social Impact Assessment did not identify any cultural property in the project site,

however, should any such site get identified, the Project will do the following: Whenever chance

finds are made during the construction of the roads, the contractor will immediately inform the project

16

execution agency which will, in turn, inform the government department concerned with cultural

property.

The project execution agency will be responsible for securing the artefacts from theft, pilferage and

damage until the responsibility is taken over by the relevant authorities.

Failure to report a chance find immediately by the contractor will result in cancellation of the

contract and punishment according to the relevant laws.

These conditions and procedures regarding chance finds will be included as standard provisions in

the construction document in details and made available for IDA review and other interested

persons and entities.

3.2.4 Operational Policy-4.12 -Involuntary Resettlement

53. This policy deals with the issues and concerns related to land acquisition, their compensation for all

categories of affectees and affected assets, relocation, resettlement, loss of livelihood, access and related

issues.

54. If involuntary resettlement is not properly mitigated it creates severe economic, social and

environmental problems, people face impoverishment when their productive sources are lost, people are

relocated to such environment where productive skills are not properly utilized, the competition for

resources is increased, the community institutions and local networks are weakened.

55. Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, these activities should be conceived and executed as a

sustainable development program. Displaced persons should be properly consulted and should have

opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.

56. The Bank policy covers direct economic and social impacts that result from Bank assisted

investment projects and are caused by the involuntary resettlement. The following are the main objectives

of Bank‘s policies:

Involuntary resettlement should be avoided up to the possible limit or minimized by exploring

other viable alternatives;

Where it is not feasible to avoid, resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and

executed as sustainable development program, providing sufficient investment resources to

enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits;

Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards

of living or at least restore to the extent of pre-displacement levels.

57. Displaced persons may be classified into: i) those with formal legal rights to land (including

customary and traditional rights recognized under the law of the country) ii) those who do not have formal

legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets—provided that

such claims are recognized under the law or become recognized through a process identified in the

resettlement plan. iii) Those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying.

Although there is no land acquisition envisaged nor is there any resettlement or relocation, but OP

4.12 has been triggered to deal with all types of negative social impacts that need to be compensated/

replaced/restored. The prescribed responses to adverse impacts are presented in the form of an

Entitlement Matrix which is a part of the Resettlement Plan.

17

58. In addition, for all cases of voluntarily donated land the project requires a participatory and

transparent process to be followed and an agreement/MOU to be signed between the donor and the

recipient that will among other ensure i) the ownership of the land and voluntary nature of the donation,

ii) that the land is appropriate for the intended purpose iii) that the land does not belong to any donor who

is below the poverty line or whose holding would be reduced below the minimum size as stipulated to be

economically viable ( 2.5 acres) iv) that there are no encumbrances on the land, v) that it does not

negatively impact on the livelihood of any vulnerable group, and if so, that community developed

mitigation measures are acceptable to the affectees, vi) that no compensation will be paid for the land, and

vii) that the owner gives up all claims on the land and the title will be transferred to the recipient through

the notary public or a registered deed or any other procedure prescribed by the law of the state. ( See annex

4 for the form)

3.2.5 Operational Policy 7.60- Projects in Disputed Areas

59. Projects in disputed areas may raise a number of delicate problems affecting relations not only

between the Bank and its member countries, but also between the country in which the project is carried

out and one or more neighbouring countries. In order not to prejudice the position of either the Bank or the

countries concerned, any dispute over an area in which a proposed project is located is dealt with at the

earliest possible stage.

The Bank may support a project in a disputed area if the governments concerned agree that, pending the

settlement of the dispute, the project proposed for country A should go forward without prejudice to the

claims of country B. This policy is not triggered.

3.2.6 Operational Policy 7.50-Projects in International Waterways

60. This policy applies to the following types of international waterways:

(a) any river, canal, lake, or similar body of water that forms a boundary between, or any river or body

of surface water that flows through, two or more states, whether Bank members or not;

(b) Any tributary or other body of surface water that is a component of any waterway described in (a)

above; and

(c) any bay, gulf, strait, or channel bounded by two or more states or, if within one state, recognized as

a necessary channel of communication between the open sea and other states—and any river flowing

into such waters

Projects on international waterways may affect relations between the Bank and its borrowers and

between states (whether members of the Bank or not). The Bank recognizes that the cooperation and

goodwill of riparian is essential for the efficient use and protection of the waterway. Therefore, it

attaches great importance to riparian‘s' making appropriate agreements or arrangements for these

purposes for the entire waterway or any part thereof. The Bank stands ready to assist riparian in

achieving this end. In cases where differences remain unresolved between the state proposing the

project (beneficiary state) and the other riparian, prior to financing the project the Bank normally urges

18

the beneficiary state to offer to negotiate in good faith with the other riparian to reach appropriate

agreements or arrangements. This policy is not triggered.

3.2.7 Operational Policy 17.50-Disclosure Policy

61. ―The Bank reaffirms its recognition and endorsement to the fundamental importance of

transparency and accountability of the development process. Accordingly, it is the Bank‘s policy to be

open about its activities and to welcome and seek out opportunities to explain its work to the widest

possible audience.‖ 9 Thus all Bank funded documents are to be widely disseminated and accessible to all

affectees and stakeholders. This Policy is triggered: Thus in accordance with the Disclosure Policy of the

World Bank, the Social Impact Management Framework (SIMF) has been disclosed at the info shop and

the Project sites, viz., Project Offices and Public Libraries. The Executive Summaries of all the documents

will be translated into local languages (both Tamil and Sinhalese) will also be disclosed at the Project site

where it will be accessible to affectees. The revised Resettlement Plan (RP) too will be disclosed in the

project sites and in other appropriate locations such as Grama Niladharies‘ offices in the local area. The

executive summary will be translated into the local languages and disseminated in a similar manner. In

addition the web site of the provincial Roads department will be used for wider dissemination of the RP.

4 Mitigation Measures

62. This and the following chapters discuss the mitigation measures proposed in the Resettlement Plan.

4.1 Project Resettlement Principles and Scope of Mitigation

63. The basic resettlement principles of the RAP are as follows:

The affected persons (APs) are defined as those who stand to lose land, houses, structures, trees,

crops, businesses, income and other assets as a consequence of improvements to/or improvement

of the project‘s roads.

Cut-off dates will be established to determine compensation eligibility of persons and their assets.

These are the dates on which census of the affected persons and their assets will be taken. Any

claim for compensation by affected people after the cut-off date will be ineligible for compensation.

For the roads in table 1 the cut-off date was May 7, 2009

All APs are equally eligible for cash compensation and rehabilitation assistance, irrespective of

their land ownership status, to ensure that those affected by the Project shall be at least as well off,

if not better off, than they would have been without the Project. Absence of a title will not be a bar

to receiving compensation and livelihood assistance, (except for land where a title is required).

All losses will be compensated at replacement cost, at market prices without deducting depreciation

and salvage value for all losses (such as lands, crops, trees, structures, businesses, etc.).

Alternatively structures/assets etc. will be rebuilt by the project at replacement cost.

In case cash/cheques compensation, Provincial Project Director -PRDD of Eastern Province- shall take a

valuation (estimate) report for affected structures from Chief Valuer of Valuation Department. Estimation for

crop/tree has to be taken from officer of relevant institutes (eg. for agriculture crops has to be taken from

Agriculture Instructor of Department of Agriculture). Based on the valuation, after the recommendation by

The Resident Engineer, the payment will be made by the Provincial Project Director.

Encroachers in this context are defined as people occupying legal or customarily recognized

properties on public space in the ROW.

Squatters are defined as those that occupy space that is legally or customarily someone else‘s, in

this case the ROW.

It is not the usual practice to get the ―No objection‖ certificate from the Government before award the

contract. The normal practice is, start the compensation events after awarding the civil contracts through

Contractors.

Accordingly, structures demolition, relocation and other related compensation events have been included in

the civil work contracts as BOQ items. Therefore it is the responsibility of the Contractors to carry out these

activities. The Engineer of the Contract is responsible to get this work done through the Contractor.

Therefore, execution of the Contract means the completion of the entire physical targets including social

events listed in the Contract.

APs will be systematically informed and consulted about the project, and the RP will be made

available in both English and local languages to the affected persons and communities.

The consultative process shall include not only those affected, but also the adjacent communities,

representatives of the local governments of the areas where the project is located, community

leaders, local government, and community-based organizations (CBOs). Vulnerable groups

(households below the recognized poverty line; disabled, elderly persons or female headed

households) should be identified and included in the consultation process. The Project will not

20

acquire land but depend on donated land where an Agreement will be signed laying out the terms

and conditions

Contractors will also follow the same principles (i.e. payment of compensation for all losses

incurred etc.)

The Contract shall prepare a traffic management and diversion plan and submit to the Consultant and take a

clearance/approval from the Engineer. Social Specialist of the Consultancy is responsible to carry out

awareness among the general public and road users and to get the clearance for approved traffic management

and diversion plan.

The proposed RAP will apply to all Project Affected Persons who may be impacted through

impacts on private/community land or other assets due to minor realignments.

Where community owned facilities or restricting access to common property resources etc., result

from project related interventions, the project will rebuild such facilities and provide alternative

access.

There will be no land acquisition in the project. Any land that is required will be voluntarily

donated or the project will use land owned by the government. For any voluntarily donated land, a

participatory and transparent process will be followed and an agreement/MOU will be signed

between the donor and the recipient that will among other, ensure ) the ownership of the land and

voluntary nature of the donation, ii) that the land is appropriate for the intended purpose iii) that

the land does not belong to any donor who is below the poverty line or whose holding would be

reduced below the minimum size as stipulated to be economically viable ( 2.5 acres) iv) that there

are no encumbrances on the land, v) that it does not negatively impact on the livelihood of any

vulnerable group, and if so, that community developed mitigation measures are acceptable to the

affectees, vi) that no compensation will be paid for the land, and vii) that the owner gives up all

claims on the land and the title will be transferred to the recipient through the notary public or a

registered deed or any other procedure prescribed by the law of the state. The agreement will be

signed in presence of the DS and his/her signature will be placed as a third party.

Any land (land with structures/land without structures) to be required for road construction will be obtained

only based on land donation agreement signed between relevant parties. All the terms and conditions will

apply to the same.

In case any person will not meet land donation conditions such as donors include below poverty line, it

negatively impact on the livelihood of any vulnerable group and etc. mentioned under the 4.1, PIU shall

identify person /persons and offer training and provide necessary financial support to initiate suitable income

generation activity to rebuild/improve the livelihoods.

The Project executing agency will bear the costs of implementing this Resettlement Action Plan.

4.2 The revised RAP provides for the following good practices

Place all sign boards where it is necessary indicating maximum speed limits.

Place pedestrian crossing lines (zebra crossing) where it is necessary, particularly near the schools,

religious places, government establishments, hospitals, town sections, etc.

Make aware all contractors and supervisors on the importance of villagers‘ privacy and their

freedom to engage in their customary duties and tasks.

The Contractor is responsible to create awareness of preventing HIV/AIDS among the migrated

workers in all project sites.

21

4.3 Impact Mitigation Modalities

64. The following types of losses are expected to result from Project intervention and will be mitigated.

Temporary displacement of mobile vendors and other vulnerable encroachers. The project will

ensure that their livelihood is not affected by helping to relocate them during the construction phase

and they may return to their original place subsequently.

Encroacher owners of the affected businesses will be compensated for temporary loss of income

based on net income, or an one-time lump sum grant

Where physical assets of affectees (walls, gardens, gates, etc.) located in the ROW come in the

project‘s area of construction, the facility will be rebuilt or the owners will be compensated at

replacement cost.

The project will identify and implement policies to mitigate any adverse impacts that may appear

during implementation of the project.

4.4 Other principles to be followed by PRDD

Provide opportunities for all affected persons to interact with the PRDD

Opportunities will be provided to the affected persons to discuss the design of the structures to be

rehabilitated or reconstructed. They will also be given opportunities to know about the construction

material to be used, and the timeframe required to complete the construction work

Throughout the reconstruction period of the affected structures the relevant PAPs will be given

opportunities to act as informal supervisors to get a good structure constructed to replace their

affected properties.

The project will consider the option of keeping the communities involved in the maintenance of the

roads

65. In response to the requests from the affected communities, PRDD has agreed to the following:

Since the roads are narrow to ensure that construction work is completed on time

Provide alternate routes to traffic and ensure safety of road users

Proper direction to Contractors to maintain high quality/ standards in construction activities.

Providing retaining walls where there may be landslides and serious erosions as a result of

construction activities.

4.5 Voluntary land donation:

Small lands stretches approximately 3675m2 are required from 15 PAP families to maintain the

proposed road width in some of the roads. Since the project is not envisaged land acquisition, the

required lands will be donated voluntarily.

24

4.6 Mitigation of Impact on Houses/shops:

The only impact on houses is damaged to the front of shops/huts/houses that extends into the

proposed road width for rehabilitation, all of which will be replaced (at the same or better quality)

or compensated at replacement cost.

4.7 Mitigation of Impact on Commercial Centre:

There is no impact on any commercial or business centre on the 11 roads in this RAP

4.8 Mitigation of impact on Walls, Gates, Fences and Pavements:

This is the major impact of these roads. The contractors will rehabilitate/replace all these affected

structure. Many of the fences (made of bushes/Wooden) will be replaced with retaining way due

to the mountainous nature of the roads that may cause erosion with removal of these high bushes.

The contractors will replace the assets prior to completion of work on the particular stretch of

road where the affected asset is located

4.9 Provision of pre-cast drainage slabs:

Road side landscape and house access have to be destroyed due to road improvements. Therefore, it has

been proposed to provide pre cast drainage slabs to all residents who live either side of the road. This

provision has been included in to the contract.

4.10 Mitigation of the Impact on Public Institutes, Religious and Cultural Places:

There are no shrine will be impacted.

4.11 Mitigation of Project Induced Economic Impacts:

There are no encroachers located in the proposed road width for rehabilitation as such. However,

there is economic impact through loss of tree timber that will need to be removed.

4.12 Impact on Trees:

For timber, the method will be to take the total life span, present age, and price over its life for

determining compensation.

4.13 Impact on Paddy field:

Small land stretches amounting 0.3675 ha out of 33.6 ha of paddy lands are required to maintain the

proposed road width. As the extent of the paddy land to be donated is very small, there will not be a

remarkable impact on farming income.

25

The Entitlement Matrix:

The Entitlement matrix has been developed to address impacts/losses, entitlement of entitled persons.

The Project does not envision any land acquisition, relocation or resettlement the potential impacts are

limited. Hence the entitlement matrix is reflective of this issue. However, should any land be required

the project will depend on voluntary land donation and sign an Agreement/MOU ensuring a

participatory and transparent process has been followed and an agreement/MOU signed between the

donor and the recipient that will among other, ensures ) the ownership of the land and voluntary nature

of the donation, ii) that the land is appropriate for the intended purpose iii) that the land does not

belong to any donor who is below the poverty line or whose holding would be reduced below the

minimum size as stipulated to be economically viable ( 2.5 acres) iv) that there are no encumbrances

on the land, v) that it does not negatively impact on the livelihood of any vulnerable group, and if so,

that community developed mitigation measures are acceptable to the affectees, vi) that no

compensation will be paid for the land, and vii) that the owner gives up all claims on the land and the

title will be transferred to the recipient through the notary public or a registered deed or any other

procedure prescribed by the law of the state.

5 Stakeholder Consultation

66. Stakeholders are defined as individuals or agencies that are either impacted by and /or can impact

the project. The stakeholders at national, district, divisional, project and village levels representing

different geographical areas as well as different management systems are mapped out in this section.

5.1 Direct and Indirect Stakeholders

67. The most significant stakeholder is the Project Affected Person who is negatively/positively

impacted by the Project. The most significant and direct beneficiary groups at the local level include all

kinds of road users. The groups that frequently benefit from the roads are school children, school teachers,

drivers, farmers, traders and all other type of road users. The regional economies as well as household

economies will get positively affected due to improved road network.

68. At the institutional level, the major direct stakeholder is the Provincial Roads Department. This

organization is responsible for improving the provincial road network of the country while officers

attached to PRDD at the local level are middle level direct stakeholders because complaints about the

problems of dilapidated road systems are frequently brought up by the communities. The GN and Samatha

Mandala are also important stakeholders who have a role to play in resolving grievances.

69. Water supply & drainage board, tea estates are also stakeholders because these organizations will

benefit from the project. This is equally applicable to the public and private transport providers.

70. In the process of consultation special attention was paid to consult all ethnic groups, women,

youths and other vulnerable groups. The details of the road users consulted are shown in Annex 3.

71. Provincial Council members, local level community based organizations and others are in the

indirect group of stakeholders. The contractors, material suppliers can benefit from the construction work.

The local communities can also benefit because of employment generated in their local areas in the

construction sites.

5.2 Expectations and likely benefits

72. Different stakeholders expect different benefits from the Project. The information gathered on this

aspect during the different studies conducted for the preparation of the project are briefly discussed below:

Transportation will get enhance and busses that do not travel the entire length of the roads due to its

poor conditions will do so. Thus improved ability to travel to desired destination on time, and

expectation of increase of public and private buses etc.

Reduced transport cost and better regulation of public transport.

Improved road will provide effective transportation of tea and agricultural goods to markets,

centres, factories and other economic institutions.

The maintenance cost of the vehicles will significantly go down.

The various public service delivery programs such as education, health will get significantly

improved with improvement in children regular attendance and fall in dropout rates etc.

Poverty reduction with better prices to farmers, increased competition in commercial sector where

previously there was monopoly and price setting by a few middle men.

Enhanced links with urban centres

Increase in land value particularly of land contagious to the improved roads.

28

Anticipate better collaboration between different ethnic communities living on the roads

particularly for maintaining roads ( if project envisages such activities)

5.3 Issues and concerns of stakeholders

73. While expecting significant benefits from the proposed project, the stakeholders expressed their

concerns on certain issues also. These are:

The roads should be improved with required widths and safety measures. A program should

be implemented in parallel to road improvement project to enhance the public transportation

system on improved roads.

The construction work should be completed on time and be of good quality. There may be

lack of access during construction period particularly since roads are narrow.

Shops and other livelihood activities of the communities residing close to the candidate roads

will get disturbed during construction period.

Building structures, privately owned assets located within the ROW may get damaged during

road improvement.

Potential construction related disputes among workers and villagers

Dust and pollution during construction

Increase in accidents with better roads and higher speed of travels

Loss of land that will be donated

5.4 Consultation Strategy

74. The project anticipates a high level of stakeholder‘s participation throughout the project cycle.

Therefore, it is essential to identify the type of stakeholders to be consulted and the required stage when

consultation would be necessary.

75. As identified in the field exercise almost all stakeholders expressed an overt intention to support

the project. The stages of the project cycle and the required stakeholder participation are shown in the

following table.

76. It is not necessary to consult all stakeholders at every stage of the project. However, the Social

Safeguard Officer that will be recruited for the project should maintain all records of all stakeholder

consultations.

5.5 Disclosure of Information

As highlighted in WB policies all information should be disclosed to all the stakeholders concerned.

Therefore, it is suggested to follow the same policy in this project. Along with disclosure of all project

documents as discussed earlier, the following methods would be employed to disseminate and disclose

relevant information. They are:

Conduct FGDs and KIIs with all stakeholders.

Establish grievances redress mechanism for each subproject.

Consult all affectees and inform them on the nature of impact on their property/assets, and their

livelihood.

Inform all relevant Grama Niladharies, Smamtha Mandala, and Divisional Secretaries about

affectees and summon a meeting in which DEs, TOs, and Social Safeguard Officer are represented.

Make available and disclose all hard copies of detailed designs of subprojects, SIMF, SIAs,

resettlement plans , and other documents at PC, DE offices, and all sub offices related to

subprojects. In addition, these documents should be pasted in relevance Web Sites of PC, MLGPC,

and WB.

All public disclosure documents should be translated into Sinhala and Tamil languages in addition

to the English version.

33

6 Grievances Redressal Mechanism

6.1 Mechanism

77. The grievance mechanism has been established to prevent grievances at the outset rather than react

to problems. Grievances can be minimized through careful subproject design and implementation by

ensuring active participation and consultation with affectees establishing rapport between the community

and the PRDD and the PIU through frequent interactions, transparency and monitoring.

78. A Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) will be established by both UPC and EPC that will be

transparent, accessible to all, inclusive, participative and unbiased. Affectees will be made fully aware of

their rights and the procedures for making a grievance – whether verbally or in writing – during

consultation. The structure of GRM is shown in table 6.1. It will be a multi- tiered approach. At the sub

project level minor issues may be informally settled at the village or GN level through consultation and

involvement of the project Social Safeguard Officer/Specialists and local implementing officer/Senior

Engineer. For complaints related to project related impacts of any kind a complaint register will be

maintained at the sub project office. This will state the type of complaint, the name of the complainant, date

of the complaint and person responsible to resolve it. At the next level the GRM will be headed by the

Provincial Project Director with the members as shown in the chart 6.2. If the complaint cannot be

resolved by the PD it will seek assistance from the Samatha Mandala.

79. The Samatha Mandala (Peace Council) is the conflict resolution committee appointed by the

Ministry of Justice in all Judicial Districts, as part of the grievance redress process. The members of this

committee are well respected as they are educated and citizens drawn from towns and villages. The

Samatha Mandala attempts to resolve conflicts prior to complaints being referred to the courts. If a conflict

cannot be resolved by the committee, it can still be pursued through the court system. Furthermore since

the Samatha Mandala is not involved in the decision-making process associated with project related land

issues and properties, it can therefore provide adjudication unencumbered by any specific interest in the

project.

80. The grievance mechanism established under the Project enables the Affected Person to appeal any

issue / decision or practice arising from compensations or to settle any general project-related disputes. APs

will be made fully aware of their rights and the procedures for making a grievance - whether verbally or in

writing through the disclosure and public awareness mechanism of the project.

81. Under the Project, there is potential for different types of grievances: i)grievances related to land

donation ii) grievances related to reestablishment of affected structures/livelihood restoration etc. iii) those

related to loss of access, safety measures and iv) construction related problems.

82. Along with the role of the PD to seek assistance from the Samatha Mandala, an affectees can also

place their appeals in the complaint register and if dissatisfied can request for meeting of the GRM or

Samatha Mandala.

34

6.2 Establishment of grievance redresses committee (GRC) for each project

Proposed structure of GRM

83. Under the Resettlement Plan the PRD will form grievance redressal committees in each Division or

other appropriate project location. The members of the GRC and their key functions are briefly described

below:

Table 6.1

Member Key functions

Provincial director PRD He is the convener of the GRC meetings he

is also responsible for chairing the GRC

and sending recommendation to the

relevant parties for action.

Divisional Secretary He will represent the Division

Senior engineer or his representative He will act as secretary of GRC, and

maintain the minutes and other

correspondence

Member of Local community /NGO He will represent the community in the

area.

Representative of concerned PAP /

Stakeholder

He is a member representing concerns of

PAPs

Social Development Officer He will deal with the local complaints and

provide feed to the Committee regarding

local issues.

35

6.3 Creation of Awareness of the Grievance Redressal Mechanism

84. The PRD/PIU will inform the APs/Communities and local officials such as GNs and Samatha

Mandala about the availability of GRC and also its role and functions.

Existence of the grievance redress mechanism

Procedures for registering a complaint

Categories of persons, institutions and property/assets affected and can claim compensation

Explanation of those who would not be considered as an affected person, property etc.

The address of the authority to receive and register the application with the name of the officer in-

charge, address, and telephone/fax numbers for contact.

6.4 Receiving Application for Redressal.

The applications on grievances for redressal can be submitted to Senior engineer (SE) on week days during

office hours. These applications are registered in the SE‘s office with all details such as names of the

person, type of grievances etc. The SE along with the social safeguards staff will be responsible for the

resolution of the grievance at the local level and if required will request a meeting of the GRC and inform

the other committee members regarding the grievance registered and actions taken so far.

6.5 Redressal Committee Meetings, Hearings, Proceedings andRecommendations.

Depending on the applications to be considered, the Redressal Committee‘s meetings are held in the PD

office on Thursday of every second week of each month at 2.00pm unless called by the PD on a specific

issue. If this day falls on a holiday, the meeting will be held on the following day at 2.00pm. Additional

meetings can be called.

6.6 Implementation of Compensation.

The minutes of the GRC signed by the GRC members are maintained at the office of the Provincial

Director of PRD. The recommendations for compensation including cost and other details along with other

issues will be sent to the Project Director within a week after the GRC meeting. The same information will

also be sent to the relevant applicants for his information. The recommendations will be implemented

before the construction work is started in the sections of the road where affected persons have claimed for

compensation.

6.7 Public Awareness.

The Project will undertake public awareness campaigns to inform citizens about the project related

activities, including the rights and entitlements of the affectees, the timings of the project construction

activities, any safety measures required to be followed by communities etc. In addition, once the GRM is

established in each subproject, it will be disclosed to the project affected people with its structure, official

address (most suitably DE‘s/SEs office), members of GRM, and role of GRM.

36

7 Institutional Mechanism

7.1 Roles and responsibilities.

85. The roles and responsibilities of the major actors in the RP are the following: The Project Director

and the Provincial Director. They together, have the overall responsibility for implementing the project and

the RP. They will allocate tasks to the Divisional Secretary, Senior Engineer and the social staff.

86. The social staff with oversight from the senior and division engineer will be responsible for the

following:

Carry out stakeholder consultation on project objectives, scope, and potential adverse/positive

impacts of project intervention; and process the stakeholder feedback for consideration to the

project.

Explain the mitigation policies and measures of the project. Identify PAPs (who are informal users

of public land in the ROW) and process the entitlements stipulated in the RP.

Explain to the PAPs the grievance redressal mechanism and its scope, functions and the procedure

to bring grievances to the Grievance Redressal Committees (GRCs).

Plan, design and conduct census of the project affected persons and households listed by the

surveyors; and collect all information required to identify the losses; and determine the

entitlements, application guidelines and implementation issues as suggested in the

‗compensation/entitlement matrix‘.

7.2 The Divisional Secretary.

He will facilitate the signing of the MOU for voluntary land donations.

87. The GRM Committee headed by the Provincial Director will responsible for resolution of

grievances and can delegate responsibility to the Samatha Mandala if required.

7.3 Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanism.

Monitoring and evaluation are vital activities of the project. The project has the responsibility to implement

all activities identified and on time. The objectives of monitoring of the RP are to: 1) ensure that the

standard of living of affectees is restored or improve 2) monitor whether the time lines are being met, 3)

assess whether mitigation efforts are sufficient, 4) identify construction related problems or potential

problems, and 5) identify methods of responding immediately to mitigate hardships.

37

88. Internal monitoring will be conducted by project staff of each PC, and external monitoring which

will be conducted by an independent body.

89. The monitoring indicators will be for activities as laid out in the entitlement matrix to ensure that

the affected persons identified in the RP receive the compensation on time and for those that they are

eligible for. While the outcome indicators will monitor the objectives of the RP as laid out above.

90. In addition the GRM will be closely monitored to ensure that all complaints are resolved on time

and in an adequate manner. The conflict filter that is a part of the project will also be monitored.

7.4 Reporting

91. This will include quarterly updates of progress in preparation and implementation of social and

safeguards concerns (disaggregated by sub project). Reports will be prepared for formal supervision

mission with details of progress and identification of any social and safeguards issues that may impede

progress.

7.5 Capacity Building Program

92. For successful project implementation, a capacity building program will be conducted for all staff

of the project. It should cover the following areas:

National Involuntary Resettlement Policy

World Bank Policies on Involuntary Resettlement, Indigenous People, Women Participation in

Development, Information Disclosure

The Resettlement Plan of the Project

Grievances Redress Mechanism

HIV/AIDS: The Project will need to ensure that awareness raising/training is provided by all

contractors to their staff.

93. The training/workshops should be organised at the level of the PC. Such workshops should be

attended by all Chief/Senior Engineers, DEs, TOs and Project staff who deal with social and environmental

issues. It may be worthwhile to have two workshops for each PC to address a). Conceptual framework and

b). Its applications in this project.

94. The budget for the workshops should be borne by the project (a tentative budget for these

workshops is attached in Annex 5).

7.6 Resettlement Budget:

95. The budgets below are based on the methodology provided in the chapter on mitigation. In addition

all infrastructures are valued at replacement cost, present market prices.

Many of these rural roads have several electricity and telephone posts which need to be shifted (Shifting

cost are approximately 22000SLR per EP and 14000SLR per TP). The project office and respective

engineers have already informed relevant government institutions (Ceylon Electricity Board and Sri Lanka

Telecom are the responsible government departments and they run provincial units) to undertake necessary

shifting activities. Each road has been examined and several roads have been identified where it is

necessary to shift or change posts. Details are given in table 6 above.

The estimated cost for developing drainage system and replacing pre-cast drainage units are given

in table7.The amounts related to replacement of structures figured out on the basis of on- the- spot

investigations with DEs and TOs measuring the length and height of the structures and calculating

the number of square feet. In addition, they have examined the existing condition and determined

the best way to replace or renovate these structures during the construction period. The DEs and

TOs have indicated the cost of a pre-cast drainage unit (SLR 3000) and finally that amount is

calculated with the number of required units for each road.
