Peshawar Torkham Economic Corridor Project

(Component II)


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The present Social Management Framework (SMF) has been prepared to address the potential social risks and impacts from the implementation of Component II of the Peshawar Torkham Economic Corridor (PTEC) Project, in line with the national regulatory as well as World Bank (WB) safeguard requirements.

Project Overview

The Government of Pakistan (GoP) intends to develop the Peshawar-Torkham Economic Corridor (PTEC) Project. This includes two major components – Component-I focuses on the development of a 47 km long expressway from Torkham to Peshawar while Component II encompasses the development of economic activities in the vicinity of the expressway corridor.

It is envisaged that the second component will facilitate increased flows of national and international trade and integrate local producers into regional and global value chains. Activities under this component will focus on four areas (i) National single window complementing the border crossing process improvements at Torkham being supported by the ADB (ii) Strategic technical assistance covering preparation of Greater Peshawar Economic Development Plan, reinforcement of key institutions relevant to economic development of Greater Peshawar, and design and implementation of reforms of business development; (iii) rehabilitation/upgrading of secondary transport infrastructure as well as link roads, connecting communities and industrial zones in Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) and Peshawar to the Peshawar Torkham Expressway; iv) consider the upgrading of up to four industrial zones in FATA, namely Mohmand Marble City (MMC), Bara, Jamrud/Shahkus and Mullagori1; and v) skills development of men and women in FATA to promote entrepreneurship.


The SMF is proposed as an instrument to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor social risks associated with Component II of PTEC project. Since the exact nature, scope and scale of interventions under the Component II of PTEC are not fully defined so far, a framework approach has been followed for social safeguards.

The major purpose of preparing the SMF is to formulate appropriate social safeguard principles and provide technical guidelines to identify impacts, prepare safeguard plans, and devise mitigation measures to address adverse social impacts of the project. Thus, the SMF has been prepared as a part of consolidated Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for the proposed Component II of PTEC Project.

Principles and Methodology

For the preparation of SMF, primary and secondary data was collected. Primary data was collected through site visits, transact walk, consultations with officials of concerned departments/ authority and local communities located in the surrounding of the project area. Secondary data sources includes projects maps/Google maps, project related documents, Economic Survey of Pakistan 2016-17, Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey of FATA (2009), Population of FATA Census (2017), World Bank Operational Policies (OPs), labour laws & regulations and other relevant reports/documents.

1 The selection of these zones has not been finalized yet. However, these sites are being considered for upgradation under this project.


vii

Field visits were made from 8-12 September, 2017 and 15- 21 September, 2017 to the project sites including (i) Mohmand Marble City (MMC); ii) Mullagori Industrial Zone iii) Bara Industrial Zone, iv) Vocational Technical Institute for skills development at Jamrud/Shahkus and Bara; and Secondary Transport Infrastructure. Sixteen consultations were made covering about 102 participants including officials, manufacturers, workers, teachers/instructors of vocational institutes and local community members; and political administration (Political Tehsildar). Their feedback/concerns relating to the project preparation, design and implementation were also recorded. All collected data/information from different sources was tabulated and analyzed and compiled in the SMF.

Regulatory and Policy Requirements

The present SMF has been prepared to address the requirements defined in the national and provincial regulations namely Land Acquisition Act of 1894, and Frontier Crimes Regulations (FCR), 1901, labour and gender related laws, antiquities acts, consultation guidelines etc. In addition, the SMF addresses the requirements detailed in the WB Operational Policies (OPs).

Social Screening of Component II of PTEC Project

The activities to be carried out under the second component of the PTEC will be screened to evaluate the potential social impacts, examine the alternatives to minimize the impacts and compensating for adverse social impacts (i.e., involuntary resettlement, physical cultural resources, labour and gender issues) and enhancing positive impacts. Each activities/or group of activities (sub-components) will go through the same screening and scoping process to determine the type and detail of the safeguard instrument (s) that are required by both the World Bank safeguard policies and the Pakistani legislation.

Based on the screening data on the extent of likely impacts, the safeguard requirements will be categorized2 and accordingly the preparation of the required instrument (s) will be suggested.

Social Baseline

The socioeconomic conditions reveal that there is limited development due to resource and capacity constraints, limited economic activities and constraints regarding socio-cultural and law & order situation. Similarly, there is limited availability and access to basic infrastructure/social amenities to the local population including roads, electricity, natural gas, water supply schemes, sewage/drainage system as well as health & education facilities. In the recent years, the economic activity in the project area has been severely impacted, due to which a substantial rehabilitation/up-gradation of basic infrastructures and restoration of economic activity are direly needed in the project area of Component II of PTEC Project.

Screening of Social Impacts

Under Component II of PTEC Project, four (4) main activities are identified, i.e. (1) Strategic Technical Assistance; (2) Secondary Transport Infrastructure; (3) Upgrading of Industrial Zones (4) Skills Development which will have a variety of social impacts. Some sub-projects under these activities have tentatively been identified and others are still to be identified.

A brief description of social impacts is discussed in Table ES-1 below:

2 SIA and RAP will be required for the project component that may have a new site with one or more potentially significant social impacts that are sensitive, diverse, or unprecedented. These impacts may affect an area broader than the sites or facilities subject to physical works. (about 200 or more people may experience major impacts, that is, being physically moved from housing, or losing 10% or more of their productive (income-generating) assets. These impacts are site- specific; few if any of them are irreversible; and in most cases mitigation measures can be designed readily.

Main Activity Description of activities Project Impacts Remarks National Single Window

The activities will mainly focus on improvement of cargo clearance process and other soft interventions.

It is unlikely that this activity will involve land acquisition.

Strategic Technical Assistance.

The activity will support: i) Preparation of a Greater Peshawar

Economic Development Plan; ii) Reinforcement of key institutions

relevant to the economic development of Greater Peshawar and FATA/ FATA Service Delivery Centers; and

Design and implementation of reforms of the business environment in FATA and KP.

This component will primarily focus on desk studies, assessments, data collection and analysis and development of different plans.

The activities under this part include studies and plans to be prepared under this project.

Secondary Transport Infrastructure (STI) to support the rehabilitation of secondary roads and other infrastructure connecting communities and industrial zones in FATA to the Peshawar Torkham Expressway.

Under this activity, some of the projects being considered are as below3: i). Jamrud - Mohmand Marble City (Total

17 km, out of which 11 km is existing and 6 km new construction).

road) vi). Trucking and market infrastructure

(includes construction of rest areas, parking, hotels etc.)

The activities include: construction of new roads & bridge and rehabilitation and widening of existing roads, which involves land acquisition (private/ communal/ tribal land), due to which there will be loss of trees, some cropped area, structures, and other assets as well as livelihood of the people/ local community. The other impacts may be related to: i). Noise, dust, vibration on

neighboring properties; ii). Exposure of community

to construction workers (unwanted attention or abuse, disruptive behavior, safety issues from heavy traffic);

iii). Disturbances to land uses and peoples’ access to resources,;

iv). Impacts on community health and safety

v). Gender related impacts including women privacy, mobility, equality

vi). Labour related issues; vii). Inconvenience to the

communities due to access problems, difficulties in pedestrians’ movement particularly for the disabled and the aged, etc.

identified during screening and assessment

Upgrading of upto 4 Industrial Zones including Construction of CETP.

The activities may include but not be limited to:

i). Construction of CETP; and

ii). Construction of facilities to facilitate male and female employment and entrepreneurship, and assistance with zone management. Four industrial zones are:

iii). Mohmand Marble City Industrial Zone including CFTC - This Industrial zone is located in the jurisdiction of Mohmand agency and consisting of about 1100 acres of land (plain and hilly terrain). The land was acquired by FATA government and since 41 plots have already been auctioned to the private businesses. It is the only SEZ in FATA and therefore laws related to SEZ’s apply to it. The boundary wall and a grid station have already been constructed. This Industrial zone (IZ) has been well planned consisting of all requisite infrastructure including truck terminals, filling station, fire brigade, warehouse, hospital, labour colony, machinery pool, parking, and Common Facility Training Centre (CFTC) and other. The layout plan of the MM City Industrial zone is presented in Figure 1.1 of SMF. The allotment of plots is under process on a fast track under the supervision of FATA Development Authority (FDA).

iv). Mulagori Industrial Zone - This Industrial zone was established in 1985 and is located in the jurisdiction of Khyber Agency. It consists of more than 200 factories belonging to marble production. There are more than 5000 workers associated with this industrial zone. This industrial zone has issues with respect to the: (a) electricity shortage, (b) access roads, (c) sewage/ drainage system, (d) natural gas (e) water supply (f) first aid service/health facilities, (g) latest machinery (h) rehabilitation of existing structures/buildings, (i) financial/ loaning assistance, (j) non-availability of bank in the vicinity of industrial zone.

v). Bara Industrial Zone - This Industrial zone was established in 1964 and is located in the

For up-gradation activities (transportation/ vehicle mobility, construction of camps etc.), there might be temporary land acquisition (private/ communal/ tribal land), due to which there may be loss of trees, structures/ assets, relocation of public utilities as well as loss of livelihood. The other impacts may be related to: i). Noise, dust, vibration on

neighboring properties; ii). Exposure of community

to construction workers (unwanted attention or abuse, disruptive behavior, safety issues from heavy traffic);

iii). Disturbances to land uses and peoples’ access to resources,;

iv). Impacts on community health and safety

v). Gender related impacts including women privacy, mobility, equality

vi). Labour related issues; vii). Inconvenience to the

communities due to access problems, difficulties in pedestrians’ movement particularly for the disabled and the aged, etc.

viii). Complaints from the neighbors and local community Other social impacts identified during screening and assessment.

Main Activity Description of activities Project Impacts Remarks jurisdiction of Khyber Agency. It has more than 50 factories belonging to textiles (power loams), detergents (washing powder), plastic shopping bags, cable, jute (bori), plastic pipe and ice factory. Currently, many factories are still closed following the military operation in area. There are more than 3,000 workers which are employed in this Industrial zone.

vi). Jamrud/Shahkus Industrial Zone - This Industrial zone is located in the jurisdiction of Khyber Agency. Its industries had been relocated/shifted due to non-availability of electricity. For the moment no industries are in operation in the industrial zone. The upgradation of this Industrial zone may require reliable and dependable electricity, access to connecting roads, motivation/encouragement to the investors for construction of industries in this zone. However, land is expensive in this area due to its proximity to Peshawar.

4 Skills Development

The activities may include:

Development of skills of men and women in FATA to create jobs.

Promote Vocational Technical Institutes for man and women at the industrial zone(s)

Up- gradation of existing Vocational Technical Institute including improving level of diplomas and accordingly procurement of requisite equipment/ machines and toolkits.

The screening of social impacts reveals that for the implementation of skill development activity under Component II of PTEC Project may involve land acquisition. There may be upgradation in terms of (a) vocational training institutes for male and female, (b) procurement of additional equipment/ machines (c) rehabilitation of buildings and (d) installation of security system in the Institute especially in proposed institute for females. There will not be significant social impacts by upgrading of vocational training institutes including female institute, however, there will be temporary impacts due to the construction activities, mobility of vehicles/machinery etc, which can be mitigated by preparing an SMP. This activity will upgrade the skills of men and women in FATA to promote entrepreneurship and to

SMP and Gender Action Plan will need to be prepared.

Impact Related to Land

The impacts due to land acquisition and resettlement were assessed at the broader level and presented in the RPF prepared as a separate standalone document for the Project (Component II).

Impact on Physical and Cultural Resources

Screening related to Physical Cultural Resources (PCRs) will also be carried out and if required, Physical Cultural Resource Management Plan (PCRMP) will be prepared. However, Chance Find Procedures will be in place to deal with such areas if found during the construction phase. PCR Framework and Chance Find Procedures are presented in Annex-1.

Impact on Indigenous People

There are no indigenous people/or group of indigenous people located in the project area. Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province is outside of the project geographic scope, where the only known indigenous peoples are present.

Gender Related Impacts

In the project area, about one-half of the population are women. The women are generally involved in household chores and in agriculture

During the execution of activities of second component, the women mobility to carry out their routine activities may be hindered and their privacy may be affected. In this context, a gender development framework has been prepared which will be considered during the project implementation.

Labour Related Impacts

The activities of Component-II will involve a large number of labour during the construction of roads and upgradation of industrial zones. In addition, in the project area (Industrial Zone (IZ) or in vicinity of IZ), most of workers are engaged as labourers in industries (Mullagori Industrial zone is related to the marble production, while Bara Industrial Zone has mix of products like textiles (power looms), detergent powder, plastic shopper (bags), plastic pipe and ice factory, etc.) A Labour Management Framework (LMF) has been included in the SMF to deal with these issues.

Impact Mitigation Measures

Under the Component II of PTEC project, the social impacts will be mitigated by screening and preparing & implementing the specific social safeguards instruments including Social Impact Assessment (SIA), Social Management Plan (SMP), Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), or Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) as the case may be. The losses incurred due to land acquisition, resettlement, livelihood will be compensated in accordance with the RPF and sub-project RAP/ARAP which will be prepared after exact site locations are identified.

Public Consultations and Disclosure

The primary objectives of the meaningful, gender inclusive & responsive consultations are to examine whether there is broad consensus in support of the development and construction activities and to seek their inputs/feedbacks to avoid or minimize the adverse impacts associated with the activities of Component II of the project; identify the social impacts and mitigation measures; and assess & adopt possible solutions.

Sixteen consultations were conducted covering key stakeholders including manufacturers/industrial owners, workers, local community, officials of concerned institutions (FATA Secretariat, FATA Development Authority (FDA), C&W Department, political administration, vocational institutes). Accordingly, their feedback relating to the concerns,


xiii

constraints, activities/items and the needs for upgradation in case of IZ and vocational training institutes including those for female were recoded. A Stakeholder’s Consultation Framework has also been developed and presented in the SMF.

SMF of Component II of PTEC project will be disclosed in a stakeholder’s consultation workshop and accordingly comments will be incorporated. After receipt of the World Bank clearance, SMF will be disclosed at the websites of FATA Secretariat, Planning and Development Department , Government of KP and World Bank.

Gender Development Framework

Women are primarily involved in various household activities, including fetching drinking water from stream/nullah; collecting fire woods in nearby hilly area; washing clothes and household utensils; child rearing and caring and looking after the cattle. Gender issues such as restricted mobility, privacy, limited involvement in decision making and ownership rights, eligibility & entitlements of compensation and, level of income/ livelihood restoration have been identified as factors that may exist.

Keeping in view the above gender issues, a gender development framework associated with the activities to be executed under Component II of PTEC project has been prepared and included in SMF to address the gender related issues during the project implementation.

Labour Management Framework

Most of the workers are engaged in industries in the industrial zones, i.e. Mullagori Industrial zone is related to marble processing and production, while Bara Industrial zone has a mix of manufacturers like textiles (power looms), detergent powder, plastic shopping bags, plastic pipe and ice factory, etc. In general, workers/labour work for six days in a week with an average 10 working hours in the industrial zones. None or limited number of women were engaged in employment in industrial zones.

Social amenities such as first aid/health/insurance facilities, waste disposal, hostel arrangements, access roads, transportation/travelling facilities; and electricity were found missing. In order to manage the labour related issues, LMF has been prepared and included in SMF including three components:

i). Labour Employment and Working Conditions ii). Labour Camp Management iii). Labour and Local Community Interaction

LMF has been prepared to: (a) promote fair and equitable labour practices for the fair treatment, non-discrimination and equal opportunity of workers; (b) establish, manage and promote a healthy management-worker relationship; (c) protect workers’ rights including migrants & third party workers; and (d) promote healthy, safe, secure and comfortable accommodation that does not impact negatively on the communities in the surrounding area.

The recommended measures include (i) encouragement to engage local workers/labourers with the same terms and condition of outside workers/labourers; (ii) putting in place a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) which should be well known to the labourers/workers and accessible; (iii) prohibition of child labor; (iv) no engagement of forced and bonded labour; (v) provision of a safe and healthy working environment to both male and female workers (if any); and (vi) taking steps to prevent accidents, injuries, diseases and appropriate treatment for those suffering from occupational injuries/ diseases; and encourage for insurance facility for workers.

Institutional Arrangements


xiv

The institutional arrangements are required for the implementation of SMF as described below.

A Steering Committee will be formulated to provide overall guidance and responsible of ensuring effective implementation of the component4.

There shall be a dedicated Project Implementation Unit (PIU) established possibly at the FATA Secretariat in Peshawar, headed by a General Manager (Peshawar-Torkham Economic Corridor Project). The PIU shall be adequately staffed with competent professionals and will have the responsibility to look after the social safeguards related tasks of PTEC Project (Component II).

For the implementation of social safeguard aspects, different entities will be involved including the PIU itself and a Social and Resettlement Management Unit (SRMU) which will need to be established within the PIU. The proposed composition of SRMU may be as below:

i) Deputy Manager, Social and Resettlement: focal person for social and resettlement aspects

ii) Assistant Manager (Social): member; iii) Assistant Manager (Resettlement): member. iv) Representative of community based organization (CBO)/ or local non-governmental

organization (NGO).

The SIA/SMP and RAP/ARAP of sub-projects will be prepared by SRMU in accordance with SMF and RPF by hiring a consultant/or by supervisory consultants and these will be submitted to WB for approval.

There is a possibility to form a Resettlement Unit (RU) at Sub-Project level (field level) for the implementation of the RAP/ARAP (when RAP/ARAP is prepared). The RU may have the following members, in addition to its own technical staff including an Executive Engineer:

Assistant Political Agent/Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) KP Representative of PIU Representatives of Contractor Consultants Naib Tehsil Dar/ Patwari (KP) Representative of Project Affected Persons Committee (PAPC) (male and female)

A project affected person community (PAPC)/ local Jirga can also be formed at the field level with participation from each village. The PIU can engage an Independent Monitoring Consultant (IMC) to periodically monitor project activities to ensure compliance with the design and other requirements such as social safeguards. The IMC can also be responsible to monitor the SIA/SMP and RAP/ARAPs implementation. For this purpose, they will need to periodically visit the site, hold meetings with the PIU, SRMU, RU, and most importantly, the PAPC (Jirga). They will also need to review the documentation related to SIA/SMP and RAP/ARAPs implementation and particularly review the GRM record.

Grievance Redress Mechanism

A GRM will be established for Component II of PTEC Project to facilitate amicable and timely resolution of complaints and grievances of the communities including Project Affected Persons (PAPs) regarding social and resettlement issues. For making GRM more effective, the set-up of GRM should be at three different tiers.

4 The composition of the Steering Committee will be finalized later.


xv

Tier 1 (Village/ Community level – Local Jirga): When a grievance arises, the PAPs (male or female) may contact directly with the village level committee. The committee may resolve the concern at their doorstep. If the issue is successfully resolved, no further follow-up is required. The committee will make all efforts to resolve the issue at village level.

Tier 2 (Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) at PIU level): If no solution can be found at Tier 1, the PAPs (male and female) may refer concern/grievance to the GRC at PIU. The GRC will log the complaint along with relevant details in the community Complaint Register (CR). For each complaint, the GRC will investigate and prepare Fact-Finding report and assess its eligibility, and identify an appropriate solution. Accordingly, the concerns will be redressed/appropriately responded. Thus, the GRC will, as appropriate, instruct the responsible entity to take corrective actions. The GRC will review the responsible entity’s response and undertake additional monitoring as needed. During the complaint investigation, the GRC will work in close consultation with the Contractors, the Project Consultants, PIU/SRMU and RU.

Tier 3 (FATA Secretariat level): If still, the complainant is not satisfied/issue not resolved, then GRC will forward the complaint to FATA Secretariat for remedial measures and decisions/grievance(s) will be resolved accordingly. The committee at FATA Secretariat level will consist of Political Agent (PA), PIU, as well as PAPC/PAP representative (Local Jirga) and grievance (s) will be resolved within three weeks.

The GRM will be gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to the PAPs at no cost and without retribution. The detailed grievance process is discussed in SMF.

Capacity Development and Training

The key institutions for capacity building includes, i) PIU & SRMU ii) the Contractor, iii) Consultants, line-departments/agencies, local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and other concerned who will be involved in the implementation of SIA/SMP/SMF and RPF/RAP/ARAPs and other social safeguards instruments.

The technical officials/engineers of FATA Secretariat/ FDA, Contractor staff has limited experience regarding the social safeguard and management. As discussed above, PIU (FATA Secretariat) will be overall responsible for implementation of the social safeguard instruments, therefore, basic training on regulatory requirements, social impact assessment and management would greatly improve the capability of relevant technical staff in carrying out their responsibilities under the proposed PTEC Project (Component II).

SMF Budget

The tentative SMF budget covering the training and capacity building, third party validation and mitigation measures is estimated to be around PKR 196,350,000.

Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring of the implementation of SMF/SIA/SMP and RPF/RAP/ARAP will be carried out in two tiers. In the first tier, internal monitoring will be carried out by PIU (FATA Secretariat) with the assistance of SRMU, whereas in the second tier, external monitoring will be carried out by the IMC. The purpose of these monitoring activities is to ensure that the implementation of safeguard documents (SMF/SIA/SMP and RPF/RAP/ARAP) in a timely manner, in accordance with the procedures described in the SMF, and in compliance with the national as well as WB safeguard policies.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The proposed Project Development Objective (PDO) is to foster regional connectivity and integration, and create supportive conditions for more efficient transport and trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan through select corridors. The project has three components. The first component of the Project focuses on contruction of a road between Torkham and Peshawar while second component will promote economic development along the economic corridor. Third component includes the finance cost associated with the project management, i.e. incremental operating costs (IOC). The Social Management Framework (SMF) has been prepared for Component-II.

It is envisaged that activities under the Component II will catalyze economic opportunities in the vicinity of the corridor, facilitate national and international trade and integrate local producers into local and global value chains. Activities will focus on roads linking to the new expressway together with other transport/logistic infrastructure (e.g. trailer parking) – exact location is to be determined during implementation stage, upgrading of industrial zones, skill building for workers and entrepreneurs (all sectors) as well as technical assistance for infrastructure master-planning along the corridor and policy reforms (to improve the business environment).

Two social safeguard instruments have been prepared for Component-II of PTEC project:

i). Social Management Framework (SMF)

ii). Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF)

RPF has been prepared as a separate standalone document to deal with land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation issues and SMF focuses on other social issues.

1.2 Social Management Framework

Social Management Framework (SMF) has been prepared as a part of Consolidated ESMF. This SMF is proposed as an instrument to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor social risks associated with the activities to be undertaken under the component II of PTEC Project. Since the exact nature, scope and scale of interventions under the Component II of PTEC are not fully defined yet, a framework approach has been followed for social safeguards and SMF has been prepared for appraisal. The first part of the Framework will consist of Environment Framework while the SMF will form the second half of an overall ESMF. 1.2.1 Purpose of the Social Management Framework

Given the fact that the locations and the sites details under the project are not known yet/ or partially known, the SMF is prepared as an instrument to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor social risks associated with proposed activities under Component II of the project. The main purpose of preparing the SMF is to formulate appropriate social safeguard principles and provide technical guidelines to identify impacts, prepare safeguard plans, and mitigate adverse impacts likely to arise from the activities financed under Component II during implementation. SMF spells out strategies and principles for identifying affected individuals, families, communities, and to assess potential social impacts of different activities to be implemented, and suggests measures to avoid/minimize and manage any adverse impacts.


2

Specifically, the SMF will provide guidance to:

Ensure compliance and due diligence with World Bank’s social safeguard policies as well as with related Government of Pakistan (GoP) policies, regulation, guidelines and procedures as applicable to the type of activities financed by the project;

Minimize potential adverse social impacts of the activities as a result of either individual sub-component or their cumulative effects;

Ensure that social issues related to the component are thoroughly evaluated and necessary interventions are incorporated in planning, decision making, and implementation of component activities;

Identify possible measures to enhance positive social outcomes; and

Provide a mechanism for consultation and disclosure of information.

1.2.2 Scope of Work of SMF

In accordance with TOR, the scope of work of SMF includes:

Review of legislation relevant to social safeguards of the GoP to define procedures for land acquisition, preparation of social assessment, resettlement plans etc. The task should also include a review of World Bank safeguard policies, standards and procedures. The review will also include a gap analysis of the country legislation and World Bank (WB) social safeguards. The measures to bridge these gaps should also be included in this section;

Collect and present the broader socioeconomic baselines of the anticipated Component-II areas;

Develop a screening methodology for potential specific Component II to identify social impacts and risks, develop a social risk classification matrix and criteria and process for the identification of appropriate safeguards instruments;

Based on above methodology, screen potential impacts of the proposed investments that may arise as a result of the proposed Program and specific investments and recommend effective measures to mitigate the adverse impacts;

Present frameworks related to mitigation of potential social impacts of Component II. These are expected to include the following:

Assess the land requirements and specific approaches to deal with land acquisition and resettlement issues

Gender Framework – provide an assessment of gender impacts under Component II and framework to assess and mitigate gender issues

Stakeholder Consultation and Participation Plan

Labour Management Framework

Physical Cultural Resources and Chance Find procedures

Grievance Redress Mechanism

Any other framework assessed to be required for mitigation of social impacts.

Review the institutional structure and the Client’s capacity for the Program implementation throughout the Component II duration; develop a process (incl. timeline, budget, organizational requirements, required trainer expertise) for building and enhancing the capacity of the institutions responsible for implementing the SMF;


3

Establish a clear understanding of the institutional requirements, roles and responsibilities for adopting and implementing the SMF. The SMF should also consider relevant implications for management procedures and training, staffing, operation and maintenance, budgeting and financial support;

Carry out consultations with relevant stakeholders during preparation of SMF;

Devise the monitoring and evaluation mechanism to be followed. This should cover the internal as well as the external monitoring and evaluation;

Identify and recommend additions to bidding documents and contracts to reflect social management issues;

Disclose the draft SMF to all stakeholders in a workshop and invite their feedback and suggestions;

Revise the draft SMF to incorporate stakeholder feedback and prepare draft final for review and input by the World Bank;

Estimate a realistic budget to be allocated for timely implementation of the SMF in the Program execution phase.

1.3 Principles and Methodology

For the preparation of SMF, primary and secondary data was collected. Primary data was collected through site visits, transact walk, consultations with officials of concerned departments/authorities and local communities located within the surrounding of the project area/alignment. Secondary data sources included projects maps/Google maps, project related design data and reports, economic survey of Pakistan 2016-17, Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (2009), Population of FATA Census (2017), World Bank Operational Policies (OPs), labour laws & regulations and other relevant reports/documents.

Field visits were made from 8-12 September, 2017 and 15- 21 September, 2017 to the project sites including (i) Mohmand Marble City (MMC); ii) Mullagori Industrial Zone iii) Bara Industrial Zone, iv) Vocational Institute for skills development at Jamrud and Bara; and Secondary Transport Infrastructure (a 17 km road from Jamrud – Mohmand Marble City including 11 km existing & 6 km new; and site for bridge construction at Kabul river). Sixteen consultations were made with 102 participants including officials, manufacturers, workers, teachers/instructors of vocational institutes; local community members; and political administration (Political Tehsildar). Their feedback/concerns relating to the project preparation, design and implementation were also recorded. All collected data/information from different sources was tabulated and analyzed.

A brief social screening was undertaken for secondary transport infrastructure, Upgrading of industrial zones and skills development. The screening of social impacts has been carried out based on the nature and magnitude of impacts including status of land acquisition, land ownership, land use category, impact on other assets, i.e. structures, trees, crops and relocation of public utilities/infrastructures, labour and gender issues and other social issues during construction.

All collected data/information from different sources were analyzed to derive results and compiled in the form of SMF.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

The PTEC Project has the following three components:

Component I5: The anchor of the Peshawar-Torkham Economic Corridor is a new controlled access expressway which will provide a reliable and safe driving environment with higher travelling speeds.

Component II: This component will focus on providing support to trade facilitation and selected economic activities in the initial stage of the development of the corridor; and

Component III: This component shall finance costs associated with project management such as Incremental Operating Costs (IOC).

The Component-II aims to alleviate constraints on production in the Greater Peshawar area, in order to maximize the benefits of the Expressway for the region. Component II focuses on Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) specifically, where ongoing and planned investment by donors and the GoP is limited relative to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The PTEC also has a complementary role to other projects. For instance, while access to entrepreneurial and managerial skills is addressed by the Multi-Donor Trust Fund for the Rehabilitation of KP and FATA (MDTF-ERKF), technical skills in strategic sectors are not, creating a role for PTEC to provide these skills.

Component II investments seek to build on the revealed economic potential of FATA. Two potential target sectors are marble production, a sector in which FATA has 446 processing units, which account for 20% of Pakistan’s production6[2]; and horticulture, where a diagnostic commissioned during preparation has identified opportunities in honey production, and historically one FATA industrial zone, Bara, was a center of substantial activity. Both sectors have great potential for export. For instance, though marble exports are limited, marble can fetch around five to ten times higher price in international markets compared to that in local markets.7 Fruits and vegetables, which may be further processed, already comprise a substantial share of export volume through Torkham. Further, both sectors have substantial participation by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and given their relatively high labor intensity, show great potential for employment, including for women and youth. In the longer term, investments may catalyze investment in light manufacturing, a sector in which Chinese investors have already expressed interest to FATA Development Authority (FDA), and the potential for which will grow with increased regional connectivity through China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

5 The existing Peshawar-Torkham Road is part of the National Highway N-5 that goes through the famous Khyber Pass which has great historical significance and has been an important trade route between Central and South Asia. The 400-years old existing carriageway is a 2-lane, 6.0 meter wide facility with earthen shoulders. Improvements to the existing highway are constrained by heavy population settlements on either side, a railway line running adjacent to the road and steep gradients and sharp curves that are difficult for large multi-axle commercial trucks to negotiate. Geometrics are inadequate to cater for the modern high speed heavy vehicular traffic. The proposed 4-lane expressway will be built on a new alignment with much improved geometry. The proposed 4-lane expressway will be constructed as a dual highway facility with a 7.3 meter wide carriageway on each side and 3.0 meter wide treated shoulders. The new expressway will provide a reliable and safe driving environment with higher travelling speeds resulting in reductions in transit time and costs for regional and international trade goods using Peshawar-Torkham international trade corridor. The proposed expressway is an extension of the Karachi-Lahore-Islamabad-Peshawar Trans-Pakistan Expressway System as well as part of the Peshawar-Kabul-Dushanbe Motorway. The proposed expressway will be the first transformative step towards connecting the Central Asian markets through Afghanistan to the CPEC.

The activities completed under Component II will be finalized at the beginning of project implementation, following the completion of an integrated Greater Peshawar Economic Development Plan. Based on the analysis of other projects described above, it has been agreed with the FATA Secretariat that activities will consist of:

a. Strategic Technical Assistance (estimated US$ 5.0 million): This activity will support three broad tasks: (i) preparation of an integrated Greater Peshawar Economic Development Plan, covering relevant agencies of KP and FATA, that maps existing, on-going, and planned soft and hard infrastructure, identifies factors that inhibit economic development and poverty alleviation in the area, and offers proposals for policy reform and public investments to address these factors; (ii) reinforcement of key institutions relevant to the economic development of Greater Peshawar, in anticipation of the merger between nearby FATA agencies and KP; and (iii) design and implementation of reforms of the business environment in FATA.

b. Secondary Transport Infrastructure (estimated US$ 40.0 million): This activity will support the development and rehabilitation of secondary roads connecting communities and industrial zones in FATA to the Peshawar Torkham Expressway. This activity may also support the development of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) for logistics and market infrastructure, for instance truck terminals, modern warehousing facilities and display centers at the junction of the Expressway and the Indus Highway (N-55) which connects the Expressway to the port in Karachi. Specific investments will be identified based on the Greater Peshawar Economic Development Plan and will be fully coordinated with other donor and stakeholder agencies, especially USAID, which is engaged in developing linkage roads in KP, and Asian Development Bank (ADB), which is building hard infrastructure for trade facilitation at Torkham.

c. Upgrading of Industrial Zones (estimated US$ 20.0 million): As a practical solution to address multiple constraints on production at the same time, while also capturing additional benefits from industrial agglomeration, this activity will support infrastructure investments in existing industrial zones in FATA: MMC; Bara; Jamrud/Shahkus; or Mulagori. Rehabilitating these zones is a priority of the FDA, but the GOP has, as of now, planned investments in zones only in KP. The nature of investments to be supported will be decided based on independent feasibility assessments, discussions with stakeholders, and the Greater Peshawar Economic Development Plan. They are expected to include Independent Power Plants; Combined Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs); plug and play industrial buildings for SMEs with shared pools of equipment, and facilities to promote female employment (i.e. day care centers, safe transportation and housing). The upgrading will be carried out by competitively selected private sector firms that will be expected to finance at least part of the development cost, with the exact amount to be determined through the competitive process in which the financial contribution from the private sector firm will be a key selection criterion. The layout plan of the Mohmand Marble City is presented in Figure 2.1.

d. Skills Development (estimated US$ 10.0 million): This activity will upgrade the skills of men and women in FATA to meet the demands of industries with revealed economic potential. The training program will be developed in partnership with private sector firms operating in the industrial zones to ensure trainings are demand driven. For instance, assistance may develop a Common Facility Training Center (CFTC) at MMC, to help SMEs adopt modern marble processing technologies in order to meet quality standards demanded by international markets. Another program to be supported could be trainings in modern warehouse management, to complement logistics PPPs developed as part of the secondary transport infrastructure described above. It is envisioned that in the medium


6

term, private firms will bear the operating cost of such trainings once established. This subcomponent will entail technical assistance to FDA in order to establish rigorous monitoring and impact evaluation systems. Assistance will build on lessons learned from the Punjab Skills Development Fund, which has developed methods to competitively select private and non-profit sector training providers, and then support them to improving their business models and ensure long-term sustainability.

3. SOCIOECONOMIC BASELINE CONDITIONS

This Chapter provides some salient information on the selected indicators of the project area relating to Component II located in the jurisdiction of KP and FATA. The project activities under Component II will primarily focus on areas around Peshawar and FATA (agencies including Khyber, Mohmand, Bajaur and others). A brief description pertaining to the project area is given in the following section.

3.1 Overview of Peshawar Valley

The Peshawar Valley8 lies between the Khyber Pass and the Indus River, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. There are four main towns in Peshawar Valley: Peshawar, Mardan, Nowshera and Charsadda. The area is girdled on all sides except its eastern perimeter by a rim of rugged and barren hills. At the western end of the valley in the shadow of the highest visible peaks and thirty miles from the border of Afghanistan, the ancient town of Peshawar is situated, from which the Valley derives its name. Once the western terminus of India’s Grand Trunk Road, it is now better known to the world as the eastern terminus of the Afghanistan-Pakistan trade route through the Khyber Pass. The large basin drains into the Kabul River. The valley supports a wide range of flora and fauna. Orchards (date groves), and green fields are found in case of availability of water and otherwise there is little natural cover except along the banks of the water streams.

Subsistence agriculture forms the base, with wheat, barley, millet, corn, cotton, peppers and sugarcane being the primary crops. There are two planting and harvesting periods, one for wheat and barley in winter and another for corn in summer. Planting and harvesting of sugarcane overlaps both the periods. These crops are supplemented with a variety of vegetables, and with clover which is used in conjunction with millet as a fodder. In many villages, there are extensive pear, peach and apricot orchards, and grape vineyards. Tobacco is also an important crop near the town of Nowshera. Wheat, cotton, chilies, tobacco and sugarcane are grown for the markets as well as for local consumption.

In addition to use chemical fertilizer, animal manure is also important and being used in farm fields. Domestic animals (livestock) are important to supplement the household income. Goats and sheep are grazed on stubble or in marginal area between the cultivated areas. Hunting, fishing and the collecting of wild honey are popular pastimes, but are otherwise not seriously pursued for a living.

The Government has developed the water system by construction of a barrage on the Kabul River at Warsak. There is a heavy scarcity of water in the valley. The extent of water scarcity can be seen not only in the irrigation system, but also in the supplementary techniques for controlling and utilizing water. The Persian wheel is used extensively in the north-eastern quarter of the Valley. The paddle wheel which is powered by water and simultaneously lifts water in container attached to the blades, is popular where the land is higher than canal. In some of the villages, in the south-western quarter, there is local version of the Iranian quant, or underground water channel. Those who can afford it are also experimenting with modern pumping devices.

Human settlement in the valley is oriented primarily to the agricultural patterns of life and to the water supply. Hundreds of villages and hamlets are scattered throughout the valley. In the well-irrigated northern half of the Valley, these are dispersed along the vast network of primary and subsidiary channel. In the Southern half of the Valley, which is poorly

irrigated, the settlements tend to cluster along the few perpetual rivers and streams. The typical village is compact, irregular cluster of buildings and walls, with narrow streets and no central square or meeting place. Most buildings are one-storied and made of mud, sun-dried bricks and timber. The village is divided into wards, which are not always physically discrete, but which are never the less socially distinct. In the most cases the wards are actually separated by alleys or short stretches of open land. The average village includes about eight hundred peoples. A few large villages have between four and six thousand peoples. The villages are situated close to the cultivation lands which are patchwork of small, irregular plots separated by ridges and interspersed with water channels, cart roads and foot paths. The lands of one village are generally continues with those of several others, and in many cases the boundary is formed by jointly-used water channels.

Settlements are restricted largely to narrow mountain streams. As a result, the tribal village appears as a series of small walled compounds strung out along the streams. Interwoven with the agriculture life of the valley is an ancient pattern of industry and trade, in which the village is relatively self-sufficient but still intimately connected with the town, and the town is intern both dependent on the village and on far-flung trade relation with Afghanistan, Central Asia and other parts of the Country. In the villages, there are carpenters, blacksmith, weavers, potters, barbers, priest, school teachers, midwives and various other specialists who provide most of the basic goods and services required in a village subsistence economy.

3.2 FATA Region

3.2.1 Historical Background

The areas that today make up FATA9 were once part of the battleground, on which the great game of imperial domination was played in the 19th century. For the British colonial administrators of India, effective control of the region was important for the defense of their Indian possessions, serving as a safeguard against Russian expansionism in Central Asia. It proved difficult, however, for the colonial government to establish its writ in the tribal areas. The tribal people were free to govern internal affairs according to their tribal codes, while the colonial administration held authority over all matters related to the security of British India in the administered areas. Between 1871 and 1876, the colonial administration imposed a series of laws, such as the Frontier Crimes Regulations (FCR). These regulations, based on the idea of ‘collective territorial responsibility’, provided for dispute resolution to take place through a jirga (council of elders).

However, this arrangement also proved to be ineffective to control the region. In 1901 a new ‘Frontier Crimes Regulation’ was issued that expanded the scope of earlier regulations and awarded wide powers, including judicial authority to administrative officials. In the same year, a new administrative unit, then North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) was created by carving out parts of the then Punjab province and adding certain tribal territories to it. The province, as it was constituted at the time, included five settled districts (Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Hazara, Kohat and Peshawar), and five tribal agencies (Dir-Swat-Chitral, Khyber, Kurram, North Waziristan and South Waziristan).

The institution of the Political Agent (PA) was created at this time. Each agency was administered by a PA who was vested with wide powers and provided funds to secure the loyalties of influential elements in the area. It was also during this period that the Maliki system was developed, to allow the colonial administration to exercise control over the tribes. Under this system, local chiefs (maliks) were designated as intermediaries between 9 Source: Official website of FATA: https://fata.gov.pk/Global.php?iId=28&fId=2&pId=23&mId=13.

the members of individual tribes and the authorities, and also assisted in the implementation of government policies. Some 30 instruments of agreement were subsequently signed, strengthening this arrangement. Mohmand Agency was included in FATA in 1951, and Bajaur and Orakzai in 1973. The instruments of agreement, signed in 1948, granted the tribal areas a special administrative status. Except where strategic considerations dictated, the tribal areas were allowed to retain their semi-autonomous status, exercising administrative authority based on tribal codes and traditional institutions. This unique system was crystallized in Pakistan’s Constitution of 1973.

3.2.2 Administrative System

Constitutional Status of FATA: Under the Constitution, FATA is included among the territories of Pakistan (Article 1). It is represented in the National Assembly and the Senate but remains under the direct executive authority of the President (Articles 51, 59 and 247). Laws framed by the National Assembly do not apply here, unless ordered by the President, who is also empowered to issue regulations for the peace and good government of the tribal areas. Today, FATA continues to be governed primarily through the FCR 1901. It is administered by the Governor of the KP in his capacity as an agent to the President of Pakistan, under the overall supervision of the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions in Islamabad.

FATA Secretariat: Until 2002, decisions related to development planning in tribal areas were taken by the FATA section of the KP Planning and Development Department, and implemented by KP Government line departments. The FATA Secretariat was set up in 2002, headed by the Secretary FATA. The Civil Secretariat of FATA was established in 2006 to take over decision-making functions, with an Additional Chief Secretary, four secretaries and a number of directors. Project implementation is now carried out by line departments of the Civil Secretariat FATA. The KP Governor’s Secretariat plays a coordinating role between the Federal and Provincial Governments and the Civil Secretariat, FATA.

Political Administration (Political Agent): Each tribal agency is administered by a Political Agent (PA), assisted by a number of Assistant Political Agents (APAs), Political Tehsildars (administrative head of a Tehsil) and Naib Tehsildars (Deputy Tehsildar), as well as members from various local police (Khassadar) and security forces (levies, scouts). The PA oversees the working of line departments and service providers in the agency. He is responsible for handling inter-tribal disputes over boundaries or use of natural resources, and for regulating trade in natural resources with other agencies or settled areas. The PA also plays a supervisory role/ project coordinator for the implementation of development projects/ schemes and chairs an Agency Development Sub-committee, comprising of various government officials, to recommend proposals and approve development projects.

A Frontier Region (FR) is administered by a Deputy Commissioner of the respective settled district, who exercises the same powers in the FR, as the PA does in a tribal agency. The tribes regulate their own affairs in accordance with customary rules and codes.The government functions through local-level tribal intermediaries i.e. Maliks (representatives of the tribes) and Lungi-holders (representatives of sub-tribes or clans), who are influential members of their respective clan or tribe.

Judicial System: The people of FATA elect members to the federal legislature. A system of municipal committees exists in Parachinar and Sadda (in Kurram Agency) and Miranshah (North Waziristan Agency), which are providing civic services. All civil and criminal cases in FATA are decided under the Frontier Crimes Regulation 1901 by a Jirga


11

(council of elders). Residents of tribal areas may, however, approach the courts (Supreme Court of Pakistan and Peshawar High Court) with a constitutional writ challenging a decision issued under the 1901 Regulation. Most disputes are settled internally, more serious matters may require the calling of a larger jirga made up of maliks, elders and the PA, members of the National Assembly and Senate, and occasionally even representatives from neighboring agencies or Frontier Regions (FRs). Moreover, within the family women can be called in a Jirga to present her case against another family member. However, outside the family in a tribe level Jirga, she is then represented by a male family member. However, disputes against male relatives within the family she can personally present her case. Exact nature of female involvement varies by tribe.

3.2.3 Security Situation in FATA

In recent years, the FATA and KP regions have experienced a significant militancy crises, fueled in part by years of regional instability and more recently by the US invasion of Afghanistan, and underpinned by decades of poor governance. In early 2009, the government launched major security operations to root out pockets of militants, and a second security operation was launched in 2014 in five FATA Agencies. Significant damage to physical infrastructure and services led to a large number of Temporarily Displaced Persons (TDPs) losing their homes and livelihoods - approximately 3 million people were displaced. The militancy crisis affected not only TDPs but also those who stayed behind, some of whom being just as poor and vulnerable as the TDPs. Many TDPs from the 2009 militancy crisis have gone back to their original locations. However, there are families that have chosen not to go back since they do not have resources to rehabilitate their homes, or their area lacks basic facilities and livelihood opportunities are low. In spite of the militancy and frequent military operations, the security situation has improved significantly but continued vigilance is required.

3.2.4 Tribal and Ethnic Diversity

Tribes: FATA is characterized by a strong tribal structure and very rich ethnic diversity and cultural heritage. There are about a dozen major tribes with several smaller tribes and sub-tribes. Utmankhel, Mohmand, Tarkani and Safi are the major tribes living in Bajaur and Mohmand agencies. Afridi, Shilmani, Shinwari, Mulagori, Orakzai are settled in Khyber and Orakzai agencies, while the FRs of Peshawar and Kohat are occupied by Afridis. Moreover, Turi, Bangash, and Masozai inhabit Kurram Agency. The major tribes of North and South Waziristan are Darwesh Khel Wazirs, with Mahsuds living in the central part of the region. Other tribes of the region include; Utmanzai, Ahmadzai Dawar, Saidgai, Kharasin and Gurbaz. The Bhittani tribe occupies Frontier Region (FR) Lakki and Tank, while, the Wazirs belong to FR Bannu. Lastly, the Ustrana and Shirani tribes live in FR DI Khan.

Maliki System. Pukhtoon (or Pashtoon) society is composed of different tribes. These tribes are led by their respective leaders in their affairs. These tribal leaders are usually known as Maliks. The mechanism through which these Maliks represent the common tribal people is known as Maliki system. The Maliki system in tribal areas was started in 1890. The idea behind this was to control the local people indirectly through their own leaders. Their duty was to identify those who were causing disorder, and at that time they were given monetary benefits known as Lungi. There were also stipends for common people known as moajab. The Maliki is hereditary and it goes to son after the death of his father. The Maliks are of two types; the lungi-holder, who is recognized by the Political Agent, and non-lungi holder who is not recognized by the Political Agent.


12

The Malik distributes the moajab in the community according to predetermined shares by family and also collects various fines from the tribes imposed by the government. He settles the disputes among the community members through Jirga (council of elders). He is the legal representative of the government and only he can verify and attest the documents of the people and he has the authority to bail out a person who is arrested by the Political Administration. He serves as the witness and guarantor in land purchasing cases. The Malik also serves as authority by allowing the outsiders to reside in the community. The Development schemes are processed through a tendering system at FATA Secretariat through open applications.

The PA grants the status of Malik to tribal elder (with the consent of the Governor). But the Political Agent can also arbitrarily withdraw, suspend or cancel a Malik’s status if he deems that the individual is not serving the interest of the state.10

Pakhtunwali Code: Pakhtuns follow Pakhtunwali which literally means ‘the way of the Pakhtuns’. This is a tribal honor code that has governed the Pakhtun way of life for centuries. There are many primary and secondary codes that govern every aspect of Pashtun life, but key codes are Melmastia (hospitality), which requires that any person be afforded the host’s protection while in his care; Badal (revenge), in the defense of honor, which is equal to but not exceeding the original insult; Zmaka (land), involves the protection of one's land or property; and Nanawatay (asylum, mercy), derived from the verb meaning “to go in”, this is used to describe protection extended to a person who requests protection against his/her enemies even if the request for asylum and protection is sought among the enemy11.

Customs and Dress: The cultural heritage of FATA is very rich in terms of hospitality, tribal arts and crafts, historical places, ethnic diversity and natural beauty. The tribes are accustomed to looking after their own resources and solving local problems. They take collective action in support of economic and social activities such as, supporting each other on special occasions like death and marriage ceremonies, harvesting and threshing of crops, construction of Hujras (a meeting place), mosque and other buildings, the cleaning of irrigation channels, protection from flood, maintaining paths, wood and grass cutting.

The Jirga system and the Maliki system are strong and powerful local institutions for the reconciliation and resolution of local disputes and to punish those who violate the local rules and customs. Traditionally, the household head has a strong hold and decision-making power for the whole family. The likelihood of divorce or separation in tribal society is negligible. The tribesmen wear their traditional clothes, which includes a turban. The women-folk generally use printed clothing and observe purdah from outsiders. A lot of money is spent on local ceremonies, particularly on marriages, funerals, birth and other ceremonies/festivals like the celebration of Eid and performing Haj.

Sports: People of FATA are fond of games and sports, which are essential for healthy living and positive growth of the youths. There are a variety of local games and sports played commonly all over the region, both indoors and outdoors. These include; hunting, wrestling, cricket, football, swimming and local children’s games and others and many other games. Despite the sports enthusiasm of its people, the region generally lacks sports facilities.

Average Household Size and Gender Ratio

The household size refers to the no of male and female members in the house. The summarized in Table 3.2 reveals that on the whole, the average size of household is to the extent of 7.9 and 9.0 for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA respectively, while such figure is 6.4 for Pakistan on overall basis. The gender ratio refers to the number of females/ 100 males. The gender ratio is 102.74 and 104.54 for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA respectively, while such ratio is to the extent of 105.07 in case Pakistan on overall basis. The gender composition by FR and FATA is presented in Table 3.3.

Extent of Rural and Urban Population

The data summarized in Table 3.2 depicts that a major proportion of the population is belonging the rural area which accounted far 81.23% for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 97.16% for FATA, which such proportion is to the extent of 63.62% in case of Pakistan on overall basis. In case of Urban population, the corresponding figures are 18.77% for Khyber


14

Paktunkhwa, 2.84% for FATA and 36.38% on the whole for Pakistan. Thus it can be concluded that a major proportion (greater than 80%) population is rural both in case of KP and FATA. in case of KP, while in case Pakistan, on the whole about two-third population is belong to rural areas.

3.2.6 Land Use Pattern

The land use pattern refers the extent of land utilization by various land use categories. Bureau of Statistics FATA (2017) data presented in Table 3.4 reveals that on the whole, 14.4 percent of the reported area is culturable area13, while the extent of cultivated area is 8.12 percent. Out of which 38.93 percent is irrigated area, while remaining (61.07 percent) cultivated area depends relies on rainfall. The area under forest is to the extent of only 1.8 percent. As far as population density is concerned, the average number of persons is 18 and 40 per cultivated hectares indicating the extent of dependency on the farm land.

12 Gender ratio refers to No. of females/100 males. 13 Culturable area is equal to the cultivated area plus cultivable waste.

3.2.7 Occupations and Livelihood

There are limited livelihood opportunities available in the area, however, there are the industries/ factories of marble, mining, pipes, steel, match, pharmacy, weaving and others. The most of the local skilled and unskilled workers/ labour is employed in these factories. The livelihood is mainly pastoral, with agriculture/ farming in plain and fertile land. Most of the rural households supplement their household income through livestock rearing. Others area involved in trade/ small-scale business including shops, handicraft, stitching, fuel agencies etc. The women are involved in farming, colleting fire wood, fetching water, washing clothes, fodder cutting, look after families/ family obligations. Some of the people are working in and outside the country. Inside the country main cities include Peshawer, Bannu, DI Khan, Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore and some other cities, while in case of abroad, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and other middle-east countries. The remittances (in-land and outside the country) is also a source of household income/ livelihood. Some of the families have also migrated in nearby cities and within the country.

3.3 Socioeconomic Conditions

Based on the data collected for the preparation of Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Component-I (i.e. Peshawar-Torkham Road), this section has been prepared as under the Component II the locations/ target group was not fully identified. However, the socioeconomic conditions under Component I and II are similar, so that based on the data collected from 98 randomly selected project affected persons (under Component I), the findings of major socioeconomic aspects are as below:

The average household size is 8 persons. The majority of families are living as an extended/joint family system in the same compound that includes 18.2% as an extended and 54.6% as joint family system, while only 27.27% are living as nuclear households.

The major sources of income in the project area are business (shops, stores, auto workshops etc.), services (trucks & trailers drivers), labor, remittances from abroad, etc.

The average monthly household income was estimated to be Rs. 34,755 and Rs. 4,344 on per capita basis. The poverty line comes out to be Rs. 22,250.


16

The major concerns of women are that the access to basic amenities including drinking water, nearby stream (s)/ nullah (locally named as Khuar), mobility for routine activities (collecting fire wood, fetching of drinking water) and privacy should not be affected.

3.4 Mohmand Marble City

The MMC, is an Industrial Zone being developed by the GoP through the FATA Secretariat, is one of the entities for the interventions proposed under Component II of the Project.

The key features of this location are as below:

There are 6 villages located in the surrounding of this industrial zone named as Banglo-1, Banglo-2, Kashi Kor, Karerai, Dab Kor, and Parato Ghundai. The total population of these villages is estimated at about 11,000 persons. Dadu Khel and Qasim Khel are the main tribes in the area.

3.5 Other Information

I. Perchavi Industrial zone

There is another Industrial zone named as “Perchavi Industrial zone”, which is about five kilometers away from MMC. The main feature of this IZ is summarized as below:

Most of industrial units are related to marble processing, while a few of them are linked with mechanical works.

Most of the workforce is from adjacent villages. No dry port exists in the area. The average size of existing industrial plot is half an acre. Constraints includes: heavy load shedding of electricity, effluent from marble

industry being directly disposed to the Kabul river, non-existence NGO & CBOs

However, Jirga system is quite effective in the area and all local people accept the decisions of local Jirga regarding all local conflicts/ disputes.

II. Parato Ghundai Village

There is a village nearby MMC (Phase II) named as Parato Ghundai consisting of nine houses including 81 family members (21 males, 24 females, 29 children and 7 elders). Their major source of income is labor, working abroad, driving, farming and livestock.

During the consultation meeting on 19-Sep-2017, the villagers (Mr. Dilawaiz Khan and Mohib Khan) pointed out that due to the construction MMC IZ, the amount of land compensation and structure compensation is not adequate to reestablish the same. However, they people are happy with the construction of MMC to have potential employment opportunities in future. In this context, the Poltical Tehsil Dar, Ekka Ghund (Mr. Amir Nawaz) and Manager Industries (FDA) ensured to resolve the issue of adequate compensation to the affectees and provide employment as MMC is operational. However, the contractor has already employed a number of villagers’ working inside the MMC construction activities.

4. LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

The activities of Component II of the PTEC project are located in the jurisdiction of FATA and KP. All government laws, acts and legislations are applicable in the case of areas that fall in KP, while in case of FATA, the constitution provides a special mode of governance under tribal customs and traditions through a PA, who acts as a representative of the federal government.

4.1 Constitution of Pakistan (1973)

The Khyber Agency is a part of FATA, as defined in Article 246 (c) of the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Since accession agreement signed in 1947, Pakistan also retained the semi-autonomous status of the area with the Governor General assuming direct administrative jurisdiction over it. Except for minor changes, the 1956, 1962 and 1973 constitutions of Pakistan retained the same arrangements. Accordingly, under Constitution of 1973, the executive authority over FATA rests with the President who exercises his authority through the Governor of KP Province as his agent. Under article 247(3) of the Constitution of Pakistan, acts of Parliament do not apply to FATA unless the President so directs. So, the National laws including criminal code of Pakistan and judicial system under national laws does not apply to the tribal areas and even, the jurisdiction of the country’s high courts and the Supreme Courts is debarred under constitution.

However, the people from tribal area can approach High Court Peshawar and Supreme Court of Pakistan can be approached by invoking constitutional writ under Article 184 of the Constitution. The constitution guarantees full independence of the tribal agencies and any interference by the government has been prohibited. As these areas enjoy a special status in the constitution, and the laws of the country do not operate in the project belt.

4.2 Frontier Crimes Regulations

The FCR 1901 is a unique set of laws enforced in the tribal areas since colonial times which have remained almost unchanged in independent Pakistan. The FCR was intended to administer the strategic border region by allowing the tribes to retain elements of traditional justice but subject to the undisputed control of the colonial administration. The FCR comprises 7 chapters and over 61 sections include substantive and procedural law relating to criminal and civil matters. Under section 40 FCR, collective punishment can be imposed on anyone in the tribal areas for a crime committed by his or her extended family members, including anyone from their clan (khel) or tribe. People held under the FCR have no right to appeal against their sentences to a Higher Court outside the FATA. In general, the FCR contains several provisions that may be partly incompatible with some of the constitutional human rights guarantees available to Pakistani citizens in settled areas.

Beside its defects however, the FCR has also advantages, including the fact that it stipulates a system where the customary rules of the Tribes are to be taken as primary elements to judge cases and by extension to conduct daily administration of affairs including project planning and land acquisition. The FCR also implies the fundamental idea that the decisions of the government have to meet the consent of the tribal leaders.

Whenever an offence takes place or a dispute arises, the Maliks gather and enter into intensive negotiations with the disputing parties to reach an amicable resolution of the conflict. A jirga may also try a criminal case and may recommend a verdict to the PA. Jirgas may be informal or may be established by the PA who uses it as an instrument to build an opinion and decide over the final resolution of a case. A jirga’s size varies from one situation to another, based on the nature, significance and sensitivity of the dispute. It might


19

consist of one member, although two members are more usual and often there are four or six experienced members, fully conversant with the laws of the Pukhtunwali. The political administrative setup is shown in Figure 4.1.

Figure 4.1: Political Administration Setup

4.3 Communal and Private Land Ownership & Management

In tribal areas, land is regarded as the most important asset, one that may be a primary source of conflict. Who controls land has power over those who use it. Most importantly, land is a fundamental marker of the identity of an individual and of his membership status into a clan. Symbolically, land embeds the link one individual has with his ancestors who inhabited and used that land before.

Generally, within the tribal system, each clan is associated with a specific territory held by the clan members as a communal asset. Traditionally Clan territory could be used in terms of usufruct by extended households within the clan under the supervision of lineage and sub-lineage elders and with the understanding that if the use of the land was terminated the plots were returned to the clan domain. Today under the pressure of modern commercial interests, the right of usufruct has been slowly transforming into a more permanent right. Currently plots that have been parceled out for use (residential, agricultural, commercial) are often considered as a property that will remain with the extended family and will be passed in inheritance to the next generations and possibly re-subdivided between the heirs. At times, even, this type of quasi-private land may be sold to outsiders though this is not considered as an honorable practice.

4.4 Land Acquisition Act 1894

The project area is located in the jurisdiction of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and FATA. In case of KP, the land will be acquired through the Land Acquisition Act 1894 (Amended). The law that governs land acquisition in Pakistan is the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1894 and its successive amendments. The LAA regulates the land acquisition process and enables the federal and provincial governments to acquire private land for public purposes through the exercise of the right of eminent domain. Land acquisition is a provincial responsibility and each province has its own interpretation of the Act. Some provinces also have their own province specific implementation rules. The LAA and its Implementation Rules require that, following an impact identification and valuation exercise, land and crops are compensated in cash at the current market rate to titled landowners. The LAA mandates that land valuation is to be based on the last 3 to 5 years average registered land sale rates. However, in several recent cases the median rates over the past 1 year, or even the current rates, have been applied with an added 15% compulsory acquisition surcharge according to the provision of the law.

In addition to the provisions of the LAA, rules and regulations setting out the procedure for land acquisition have also been adopted by provinces according to their province specific conditions. The LAA lays down definite procedures for acquiring private land for projects and payment of compensation. The rights of people whose land is to be acquired are safeguarded. For entering private land or carrying out surveys and investigations, specified formalities have to be observed and notifications to be issued. Damage to any crops during survey and investigations has to be compensated. The PAPs, if not satisfied, can go to the Court of Law to contest the compensation award of the Land Acquisition Collector (LAC).

The law deals with matters related to the acquisition of private land and other immovable assets that may exist on it when the land is required for public purpose. A listing of the important Sections of the Act and their salient features is given in Table 4.1. The right to acquire land for public purposes is established when Section 4 of the LAA is triggered. The LAA specifies a systematic approach for acquisition and compensation of land and other properties for development projects. It stipulates various sections pertaining to notifications, surveys, acquisition, compensation and apportionment awards, along with disputes resolution, penalties and exemptions. Surveys for land acquisition are to be disclosed to the project affected persons.

Section 10 Delegates power to the LAC to record statements of PAPs in the area of land to be acquired or any part thereof as co-proprietor, sub-proprietor, mortgagee, and tenant or otherwise.


21

Key

Sections

Salient Features of the LAA (1894)

Section 11 Enables the Collector to make enquiries into the measurements, value and claim and then to issue the final “award". The award includes the land's marked area and the valuation of compensation.

Section 16 When the LAC has made an award under Section 11, he will then take possession and the land shall thereupon vest absolutely in the Government, free from all encumbrances.

Section 17 In cases of urgency, whenever the Government can take possession of any land needed for public purposes or for a Company. Such land shall thereupon vest absolutely in the Government, free from all encumbrances.

Section 18 In case of dissatisfaction with the award, PAPs may request the LAC to refer the case onward to the court for a decision. This does not affect the Government taking possession of the land.

Section 23 The award of compensation for the owners for acquired land is determined at its market value plus 15% in view of the compulsory nature of the acquisition for public purposes.

Section 28 Relates to the determination of compensation values and interest premium for land acquisition.

Section 31 Section 31 provides that the LAC can, instead of awarding cash compensation in respect of any land, make any arrangement with a person having an interest in such land, including the grant of other lands in exchange.

4.5 Legislation Relevant to Land Classification

The legislation is relevant to land classification in case of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In terms of application of this SMF, identifying the type of land affected will be an important step in determining eligibility for compensation for land. Jurisdiction rather than use classifies land. Rural land includes irrigated land and un-irrigated land and is governed by the Land Revenue Act (1967) which must be read in conjunction with the LAA and other legislation. Rural land falls under the jurisdiction of revenue districts. FATA has its set of legislative acts, some of which are related to land and resettlement.

4.6 Pakistan Antiquity Act, 1975

The Pakistan Antiquity Act (1975) is applicable for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The current Antiquities Act 1975 (amended in 1990), redefined as ‘ancient’ any object that is at least 75 years old. It requires that all accidental discoveries are reported to the federal Department of Archeology. It also makes the federal government the owner of all buried antiquities discovered from any site, whether protected or otherwise. It bans all new construction within a distance of 200 feet from protected antiquities. The cultural heritage laws of Pakistan are uniformly applicable to all categories of sites regardless of their state of preservation and classification as monuments of national or world heritage. The Antiquities Act guarantees that no changes or repairs can be made to a protected monument even if it is owned privately without approval of the official agencies concerned with it.

4.7 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Antiquities Act, 2016

KP has promulgated an act to protect, preserve, develop and maintain antiquities in the Province. The act defines “Antiquity” as any ancient product of human activity which has been in existence for a period of not less than one hundred years.

The act covers the establishment of different bodies; antiquities and related issues; development schemes; new construction and use of movable antiquities; excavation or exploration and related matters; and other miscellaneous provisions. It bans all new


22

construction within a distance of 200 feet from protected antiquities except with the approval of the Directorate.

4.8 Labor Laws

The labour laws are applicable for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province as the project Component II is also located in the jurisdiction of KP. The constitution of Pakistan contains a range of provisions with regard to labor rights found in Part II: Fundamental Rights and Principles of Policy:

Article 11 of the constitution prohibits all forms of slavery, forced labour, and child labour.

Article 17 provides for a fundamental right to exercise the freedom of association and the right to form unions.

Article 18 prescribes the right of its citizens to enter upon any lawful profession or occupation and to conduct any lawful trade or business.

Article 25 lays down the right to equality before the law and prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of sex alone.

Article 37(e) makes provision for securing just and humane conditions of work, ensuring that children and women are not employed in vocations unsuited to their age or sex, and for maternity benefits for women in employment.

Pakistan’s labor laws trace their origins to legislation inherited at the time of partition. The laws have evolved in response to socioeconomic conditions, shifts in governance, state of industrial development, population and labor force expansion, growth of trade unions, level of literacy, and the government’s commitment to development and social welfare.

Under the constitution, labor is regarded as a ‘concurrent subject,’ which means that it is the responsibility of both the federal and provincial governments. However, for the sake of uniformity, laws are enacted by the federal government, stipulating that provincial governments may make rules and regulations of their own according to the conditions prevailing in or for the specific requirements of the provinces.

The labor laws are a comprehensive set of laws in Pakistan dealing with the following aspects:

Contract of employment Termination of contract Working time and rest time (working hours, paid leaves, maternity protection and other

leave entitlements). Minimum age and protection of young workers Equality Pay issues Workers' representation in the enterprise Trade union and employers association regulation Other laws

4.9 Pakistan Labour Policy, 2010

This labour policy is applicable for the project area located in the jurisdiction of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Pakistan’s Labor Policy aims at attaining its objectives in a manner best suited to the resources of the country and the present state of economy. There is an urgent


23

need to revitalize the economy to increase the level of productivity, promotion of investment, and maximization of employment. There is an equally genuine requirement to create, among workers and employers, a better awareness of their obligations to the national objectives stated above. At the same time, the government recognizes that workers and employers must enjoy reasonable benefits. With these priorities in view, the government considers that a balanced labor policy should be based on the following objectives:

Workers’ rights to form unions and unions should be protected and an institutional framework be made available to foster close cooperation between workers and employers at the establishment level.

Equitable adjustment of rights between workers and employers should be ensured in an atmosphere of harmony, mutually beneficial to workers and the management.

Consultations between workers and employers on matters of interest to the establishment and welfare of workers should be made more effective.

Adequate security of jobs should be available to workers and there should be expeditious redressal of their grievances.

Conditions should be created such that workers and employers are committed to enhancing productivity.

Promotion to higher jobs should be ensured at all levels based on suitability and merit and for this purpose, arrangements should be made for in-service training facilities.

Facilities for proper matching of job opportunities and job seekers should be strengthened and standard procedures streamlined.

Social insurance schemes should be further strengthened.

Just and humane conditions of work should be guaranteed to all workers.

Forced labor in all its forms is to be eliminated.

Provisions relating to the employment of children are to be strictly adhered to and enforced.

To address these concerns, the Labor Policy is divided into four parts: the Legal Frame Work; Advocacy: Rights of Workers and Employers; Skill Development and Employment; and Manpower Export.

4.10 The Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act 2010

The act is applicable for the project area located in the jurisdiction of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).The act protects women against sexual harassment at the workplace. The act is composed of 13 sections elaborating definitions, composition of the inquiry committee, procedure for holding inquiry, penalties (minor and major), powers of inquiry committee, role of the employer, the process for appeal against minor and major penalties, ombudsmen and powers of the ombudsmen.

4.11 The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prohibition of Employment of Children Act, 2015

According to this Act, "child" means a person who has not completed his fourteenth year of age. The act specifies that no child shall be employed or permitted to work in any establishment.


24

The act also states that a child not below the age of 12 years may be engaged in the light work, alongside his family member, for a maximum of two hours per day mainly for the purpose of acquiring skills, in a private undertaking or in any school established, assisted or recognized by Government for such purpose. It is also specified that no adolescent shall be employed or permitted to work in any hazardous work included in the Schedule.

The act also stipulates the constitution of committee on child labour and covers the important aspects related to hours and period of work, weekly holidays, notice to inspector, disputes as to age, maintenance of register, display of notice, abstract of sections and health and safety.

4.12 Guidelines for Public Consultation, 1997

These guidelines are applicable for the project area located in the jurisdiction of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). These guidelines issued by Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency address possible approaches to public consultation and techniques for designing an effective program of consultation that reaches all major stakeholders and ensures the incorporation of their concerns in any impact assessment study. The guidelines cover consultation, involvement and participation of stakeholders; effective public consultation (planning, stages of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) where consultation is appropriate); and facilitation of involvement (including the poor, women, and NGOs).

4.13 Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)

The World Bank requires Environmental Assessment (EA) of projects proposed for Bank financing to help ensure that they are environmentally sound and sustainable, and thus to improve decision making. The Operational Policy (OP) defines the EA process and various types of the EA instruments. ESMF has been prepared under OP 4.01 which is “An instrument that examines the issues and impacts associated when a project consists of a program and/or series of sub-projects, and the impacts cannot be determined until the program or sub-project details have been identified.”

4.14 Involuntary Resettlement (World Bank OP 4.12)

The World Bank’s experience indicates that involuntary resettlement under development projects, if unmitigated, often gives rise to severe economic, social, and environmental risks: production systems are dismantled; people face impoverishment when their productive assets or income sources are lost; people are relocated to environments where their productive skills may be less applicable and the competition for resources greater; community institutions and social networks are weakened; kin groups are dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority, and the potential for mutual help are diminished or lost. This policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate these impoverishments risks.

The overall objectives of the Policy are given below:

“Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs”. Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. PAPs should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs. Project affected persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher.

4.15 Comparison of Key LAA, FCR and World Bank OP and Practices

Table 4.2 compare the LAA 1894, FCR and the World Bank Operational Policy (OP) 4.12 specifically related to land acquisition and resettlement aspects. The objective of this exercise is to identify if and where the two sets of procedures are in conformity with each other and more importantly where are differences and gaps. The key principles are:

i) Need to screen the project early on in the planning stage; ii) Carry out meaningful consultation; iii) At the minimum restore livelihood levels to what they were before the project; iv) Improve the livelihoods of affected vulnerable groups; v) Prompt compensation at full replacement cost is to be paid; vi) Provide displaced people with adequate assistance; vii) Ensure that displaced people who have no statutory rights to the land that

they are working are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for the loss of no-land assets; and

viii) Disclose all reports.

5. SCREENING OF SOCIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

5.1 General

The screening of potential social impacts (type and magnitude) for the activities of Component II of PTEC project and accordingly their mitigation measures are discussed in this section. The social screening of project activities and selection of the appropriate social safeguards instruments are also described.

5.2 Potential Social Impacts

The Component II of PTEC project consists of four activities. However, additional activities may be identified/considered during implementation. The details assessment of social impacts will be done during the preparation of safeguards instruments (SIA/SMP/RAP/Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) once the exact location and footprint of the Component II are identified. However, the potential social impacts due to the implementation of Component II of the Project are briefly described in the Table 5.1 below:

Table 5.1: Social Impacts of Project Activities under Component II of PTEC

Main Activity Description of activities Project Impacts Remarks National Single Window The activities will mainly focus on improvement of cargo clearance

process and other soft interventions. It is unlikely that this activity will involve land acquisition.

Strategic Technical Assistance.

The activity will support:

i). Preparation of a Greater Peshawar Economic Development Plan;

ii). Reinforcement of key institutions relevant to the economic development of Greater Peshawar and FATA/ FATA Service Delivery Centers; and

iii). Design and implementation of reforms of the business environment in FATA and KP.

This component will primarily focus on desk studies, assessments, data collection and analysis and development of different plans.

Preparation of Greater Peshawar Economic Development Plan, covering relevant areas of FATA and KP.

Secondary Transport Infrastructure (STI) to support the rehabilitation of secondary roads and other infrastructure connecting communities and industrial zones in FATA to the Peshawar Torkham Expressway.

Under this activity, some of the projects being considered are as below16: vii). Jamrud - Mohmand Marble City (Total 17 km, out of which 11 km

is existing and 6 km new construction). viii). Construction of bridge at Kabul river adjacent to the MM City. ix). MM City - Ekka Ghund (7 km new road) x). Khar - Munda road (28 km existing road in Bajour agency. xi). Matani – Bara – Surkamar (27 km new road) xii). Trucking and market infrastructure (includes construction of rest

areas, parking, hotels etc.)

The activities include: construction of new roads & bridge and rehabilitation and widening of existing roads, which involves land acquisition (private/ communal/ tribal land), due to which there will be loss of trees, some cropped area, structures, and other assets as well as livelihood of the people/ local community. The other impacts may be related to: x). Noise, dust, vibration on neighboring properties; xi). Exposure of community to construction workers

(unwanted attention or abuse, disruptive behavior, safety issues from heavy traffic);

xii). Disturbances to land uses and peoples’ access to resources;

SIA/SMP and RAP/ ARAP will need to be prepared.

Upgrading of 4 Industrial Zones including Construction of CETP.

The activities may include but not be limited to: vii). Construction of CETP; and

viii). Construction of facilities to facilitate male and female employment and entrepreneurship, and assistance with zone management. Four industrial zones are:

ix). Mohmand Marble City Industrial Zone including CFTC - This Industrial zone is located in the jurisdiction of Mohmand agency and consisting of about 1100 acres of land (plain and hilly terrain). The land was acquired by FATA government and since 41 plots have already been auctioned to the private businesses. It is the only SEZ in FATA and therefore laws related to SEZ’s apply to it. The boundary wall and a grid station have already been constructed. This Industrial zone (IZ) has been well planned consisting of all requisite infrastructure including truck terminals, filling station, fire brigade, warehouse, hospital, labour colony, machinery pool, parking, and Common Facility Training Centre (CFTC) and other. The layout plan of the MM City Industrial zone is presented in Figure 1.1 of SMF. The allotment of plots is under process on a fast track under the supervision of FATA Development Authority (FDA).

x). Mullagori Industrial Zone - This Industrial zone was established in 1985 and is located in the jurisdiction of Khyber Agency. The land and industries are owned by the

For up-gradation activities (transportation/ vehicle mobility, construction of camps etc.), there might be temporary land acquisition (private/ communal/ tribal land), due to which there may be loss of trees, structures/ assets, relocation of public utilities as well as loss of livelihood. The other impacts may be related to:

1. Noise, dust, vibration on neighboring properties;

2. Exposure of community to construction workers (unwanted attention or abuse, disruptive behavior, safety issues from heavy traffic);

3. Disturbances to land uses and peoples’ access to resources;

4. Impacts on community health and safety 5. Gender related impacts including women

privacy, mobility, equality 6. Labour related issues; 7. Inconvenience to the communities due to

access problems, difficulties in pedestrians’ movement etc.

8. Complaints from the neighbors and local community

9. Other social impacts identified during screening and assessment.

SIA/SMF and RAP/ ARAP will need to be prepared.

private investors. The owners of industries indicated that there are more than 200 factories belonging to marble production and more than 5,000 workers associated with this industrial zone. This industrial zone is seriously deficient with respect to the: (a) electricity shortage, (b) access roads, (c) sewage/ drainage system, (d) natural gas (e) water supply (f) first aid service/health facilities, (g) latest machinery (h) rehabilitation of existing structures/buildings, (i) financial/ loaning assistance, (j) non-availability of bank in the vicinity of industrial zone.

xi). Bara Industrial Zone - This Industrial zone was established in 1964 and is located in the jurisdiction of Khyber Agency. The land and industries are owned by the private investors. The owners of industries indicated that there are more than 50 factories belonging to textiles (power looms), detergents (washing powder), plastic shopping bags, cable, jute (bori), plastic pipe and ice factory. Currently, many factories are still closed due to operation. There are more than 3,000 workers which are employed in this Industrial zone as reported by owners of industries.

xii). Jamrud/Shahkus Industrial Zone - This Industrial zone is also fall in Khyber Agency. Its industries had been relocated/shifted due to non-availability of electricity since a long time ago. Presently, no industries are in operation in the industrial zone. The upgradation of this Industrial zone may require reliable and dependable electricity, access to connecting roads, motivation/encouragement to the investors for construction of industries in this zone. However, land is expensive in this area due to its proximity to Peshawar.

5 Skills Development

The activities may include:

Development of skills of men and women in FATA to create jobs. Promote Vocational Technical Institutes for men and women at

the industrial zone (s).

The screening of social impacts reveals that for the implementation of skill development activity under Component II of PTEC Project may involve land acquisition, due to which RAP/ARAP will need to be prepared. Furthermore, there may be upgradation in terms of (a) vocational technical institutes for

SMP and Gender Action Plan will need to be prepared.


33

Up- gradation of existing Vocational Technical Institute including improving level of diplomas and accordingly procurement of requisite equipment/ machines and toolkits.

male and female, (b) procurement of additional equipment/ machines (c) rehabilitation of buildings and (d) installation of security system in the Institute especially in proposed institute for females. There will not be significant social impacts by upgrading of vocational technical institutes including female institute, however, there will be temporary impacts due to the construction activities, mobility of vehicles/machinery, which can be mitigated by preparing an SMP. This activity will upgrade the skills of men and women in FATA to promote entrepreneurship and to meet the demands of economically-strategic industries in the area; and of investments. Training will also be coordinated with the upgrading of industrial zones to exploit complementarities and enhance impact. Furthermore, the development of a Common Facility Training Center (CFTC) at MMC and of women skills development centers will also be contributory towards the advancement of FATA. The females major concerns include: Least or no permission for outdoor activities to

females Lack of awareness to female regarding vocational

training activities/ institute Difficulties in having access to public transport

Deficiency of skills/ knowledge about enterprise and entrepreneur especially for female.


34

5.2.1 Impact Related to Land

The impacts due to land acquisition and resettlement are assessed at the broader level and presented in the RPF prepared for the project.

5.2.2 Impact on Physical and Cultural Resources

Physical cultural resources are the sites, areas, objects, or artifacts that have archaeological, paleontological, historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or other cultural, religious or spiritual significance to a commune, religious group, ethnic group and/or the wider public or nation. They include movable or immovable objects, sites, structures, groups of structures, and natural features and landscapes, such as, sacred landmarks, sacred burial sites or human remains, pilgrimage sites or routes, fossils, rock drawings, ancient structures, places of worship. OP 4.11 seeks to preserve physical cultural resources and avoid their destruction or damage. It encompasses resources of archaeological, paleontological, historical, architectural and religious (including grave yards and burial sites), aesthetic, or other cultural significance. Screening related to PCRs will also be carried out and if required, Physical Cultural Resource Management Plan (PCRMP) will be prepared. PCR Framework is included as Annex-1 in SMF. Chance Find Procedures will be in place to deal with such areas if found during the construction phase. Chance Find Procedures of Physical and Cultural Resources are presented in Annex-1.

5.2.3 Impact on Indigenous People

There are no indigenous people/or group of indigenous people are located in the project area. Chitral District or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province is outside of the project geographic scope, where the only known indigenous peoples are present.

5.2.4 Gender Related Impacts

In the project area of Component-II, about half of the population comprises women. Women are generally involved in household activities, such as fetching drinking water from nearby stream/nullah; collecting fire woods in nearby hilly area; washing clothes and household utensils; child rearing and caring; looking after their cattle as well as other household activities. In some families, due to tribal culture, the extent of women’s involvement tends to remain confined to domestic matters.

During the execution of activities of second component, the women mobility to carry out their routine activities may be hindered and their privacy may be affected. In this context, a gender development framework has been prepared which will be considered during the project implementation.

5.2.5 Labour Related Impacts

The activities of Component-II will involve a large number of labour during the construction of roads and upgradation of industrial zones. In addition, in the project area (industrial zone or in vicinity), most of workers are engaged in industries, i.e. Mullagori Industrial zone is relating to the marble production, while Bara IZ has mix of products like textiles (power looms), detergent powder, plastic shopper (bags), plastic pipe and ice factory etc. This may involve a number of labour and working conditions related impacts. A Labour Management Framework (LMF) has been included in the SMF to deal with these issues.


35

5.2.6 Impact Mitigation Measures

Under the Component II of PTEC project, the social impacts will be mitigated by screening and preparing & implementing the specific social safeguards instruments including SIA/Social Management Plan (SMP)/RAP/ARAP. The losses incurred due to land acquisition, resettlement, livelihood will be compensated in accordance with the RPF developed and presented as a separate document and RAP/ARAP to be prepared later.

5.3 Key Steps in Social Management

5.3.1 Social Screening

All activities to be implemented under component II of PTEC project will be screened for need of land acquisition, resettlement and other social issues. Accordingly, the preparation of the required instrument (s) will be recommended. Each activity of Component II will go through the same screening and scoping process to determine the type and detail of the safeguard instrument (s) that are required by both the Bank safeguard policies and the Frontier Crimes Regulations (FCR) and Pakistani legislation. The steps involved are as below:

Carry out the screening as per screening form attached as Annex 2.

Brief assessment of the nature/type and magnitude of sub-project impact (impact assessment)

Determination of type of safeguard instruments required, i.e. a SIA. SMP, RAP or ARAP.

5.3.2 Component II of PTEC Project Category Classification Guidelines

Based on the screening data on the extent of likely impacts, the Component II safeguard requirements will be categorized as follows:

Significant impact – Sub-project with a new site with one or more potentially significant social impacts that are sensitive, diverse, or unprecedented. More than 200 people may experience major impacts, that is, being physically moved from housing, or losing 10% or more of their productive (income-generating) assets. A full scale SIA17 and RAP will be prepared to commensurate the impacts;

Non-significant impact – Sub-project a new site with no more than moderate or minor potential social impacts. Potential adverse social impacts are less adverse. These impacts are site- specific; few if any of them are irreversible; and in most cases mitigation measures can be readily designed. Less than 200 people will be physically displaced from housing or lose less than 10% of their productive (income-generating) assets. SMP18 and ARAP will prepared to commensurate the impacts;

No impact – If the sub-project does not require permanent/or temporary land acquisition, and there are no impacts including the loss of land, structures, crops and trees, businesses or income (livelihood). The RAP/ARAP is not prepared. However, this category of impact may include insignificant/temporary social impacts which are generally mitigated as a part of construction activities in consultation with the PAPs and covered under SMP.

17 SIA can be prepared as standalone of as a part of the consolidated Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) 18 SMP can be prepared as standalone or as a part of the consolidated Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)


36

The above screening criteria is consistent with the one included in RPF. Thus, any activities of the Component II that may cause significant social impacts will require a comprehensive SIA including type/nature and magnitude of impacts and preparation of RAP, while in case of non-significant impacts, an ARAP and SMP will be required. In case of no impact, the temporary/minor impacts are generally mitigated during the project implementation as a part the contractors’ contract.

5.3.3 Preparation of Mitigation Instruments

Based on social safeguard screening and consultations with the local communities and by following above mentioned criteria, one or more of the following will need to be prepared to comply with the WB safeguard requirements. 1. Social Impact Assessment 2. Social Management Plan 3. Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)19 4. Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) 5. PCRMP as a part of the SIA/SMP

The contents of RAP and ARAP are given in RPF prepared as a standalone document, while the contents of SIA and SMP are presented below. The SIA and SMP can be prepared as a part of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) or Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) to be prepared for Component II of the PTEC project. The social team will assess these impacts during the preparation of ESIA and ESMPs by working in close coordination with the environment teams and ensure that these impacts and their mitigations are reflected properly. The direct impact related to land acquisition, resettlement and livelihood restoration will also be briefly reflected in the SIA and SMP based on the findings of RAPs/ARAPs.

6. GENDER DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

6.1 General

Gender is a key issue in social safeguard management in view of the differential vulnerabilities of affected men and women. In view of their higher vulnerability levels, specific measures are proposed to enable the affected women-especially that are poor and vulnerable, to cope with the project impacts. The process of gender inclusive social management and resettlement planning include the gender analysis, project specific gender considerations and a gender strategy and action plan.

6.2 Gender Considerations and Framework

Based on our survey feedback in the project area, women have a limited role in decision-making. At the household level (extended family system), a male elder, normally makes all decisions relating to household, income, expenditure, education and health. The women are involved in different household activities, such as fetching drinking water from stream/nullah, collecting fire woods from nearby hilly area; washing clothes and household utensils; child rearing and caring; looking after their cattle’s and other indoor activities (social gathering/ function). In the project area, due to the existing culture, most of the women are involved in domestic matters and mobility outside of the village/tribe is restricted. In the project area, the main gender issues are related to privacy, mobility, limited property rights etc. In view of above gender issues, a gender development framework associated with the activities of Component II of PTEC project focuses on the women livelihoods development through involvement in the income generation activties in FATA/KP has been prepared and discussed in Table 6.1.

7.6 Monitoring

The monitoring for the implementation of LMF will be carried out to (a) document the implementation and effectiveness of management and mitigation measures; (b) assess actual impacts against predicted impacts; (c) demonstrate compliance with applicable legal and other requirements. Monitoring will be carried out based on both desk work and field-based verification to confirm that specified mitigation measures are being implemented effectively and achieving the intended outcomes.

The project will undertake monitoring/assessments to determine the extent to which this framework is being implemented. The assessment will be undertaken by social development consultant deployed by Contractor, who will monitor the implementation and submit report to PIU (FATA Secretariat)/Social and Resettlement Management Unit (SRMU). There will also be a third party validation Consultant to be engaged by the PIU (FATA Secretariat), who will undertake periodic monitoring to determine the compliance of this framework.

7.7 Performance Indicators

Performance indicators22 are used to measure and track performance against the effectiveness of mitigation and control measures discussed in this framework. Performance indicators are measurable against a specified target. The performance indicators need to be recoded and accordingly suggest the remedial measures to reduce potential risks and to be reported in periodic reports. List of performance key indicators which will need to be derived are as below: Labour employment and working conditions Grievances lodged by type and number Disciplinary action by type and number Induction training numbers, queries and comments Issues raised by workers’ committees and action taken Workforce numbers by local and outsider/foreign workers Actual demobilization numbers against planned targets and the incidents around

demobilization Project related incidents - stoppages go slows, threats, damage to property, violence

(if any) Absenteeism, sick leave and late arrivals Labour camp management Grievances lodged by type and number Disciplinary action by type and number Induction training numbers, queries and comments Issues raised by camp committees and action taken Camp numbers by local and foreign workers Camp incidents Food or lodging complaints Recreation activities

22 Indicators: Leading indicators predict actions to be taken to prevent a risk from escalating - such as complaints from workers about, i.e., the quality of camp food. Lagging indicator would be a work stoppage over camp conditions. General performance indicators may also be relevant, such as training and awareness numbers.

Labour and local community interaction No. of community roads used for project purposes No. of community concerns registered Grievances lodged by community by type and number Disciplinary action against concerned employees by type and number Camp sites accidents by type and numbers

7.8 Information Management

Information management system during project implementation stage will need to be developed to manage data including labour employment & working conditions, camp management, labour interaction with community and other. Information tracking system will be used during implementation considering the key performance indicators and tracking will be used for non-compliances identified in the monitoring reports and accordingly corrective action plan will be prepared.

7.9 Reporting

An internal monitoring periodic report will be compiled to address the labour and working conditions aspects as discussed in this framework, while an external monitoring report will be undertaken by third party consultant and quarterly monitoring report will be pared and accordingly submitted to PIU (FATA Secretariat) for onward submission to WB.

7.10 Training and Awareness

Training need assessment will be conducted to analyze the knowledge and skills of project workers and community representatives who will be considered for the training implementation.

8.1 Community Consultations

The community consultations were made with potential PAPs, local community/workers, local women, female teachers and female trainees (skill development) in order to get their feedback. The feedback is summarized as below:

Mullagori industrial zone has issues with respect to the: (a) electricity, (b) access roads, (c) sewage/drainage system, (d) natural gas (e) water supply (f) first aid service/health facilities, (g) latest machinery (h) rehabilitation of existing structures/buildings, (i) financial/loaning assistance, (j) bank institution in the vicinity of industrial zone.

There are more than 3,000 workers who are employed in this Industrial zone but there is no electricity for last 3 months.

The upgradation of this Industrial zone may require reliable and dependable electricity, access to connecting roads, motivation/encouragement to the investors for construction of industries in this zone as land is already available.

There will be land acquisition, due to which, there will be loss of crops, trees, structures and other assets as well as relocation of public utilities/infrastructure.

All necessary upgradation of vocational institute including latest equipment/machines, toolkits and rehabilitation of building as well as installation of security system will be required.

The temporary loss will also be incurred because of mobility/transportation of equipment/machinery, relocation of public utilities, which will also need to be compensated. All losses need to be adequately compensated.


56

The gender issues such as restricted mobility, privacy, limited involvement in decision making and ownership rights, eligibility & entitlements of compensation and livelihood restoration have been identified.

During consultations with the local women including female teachers and trainees, the major points highlighted relating to the women skill development are as below:

- The women skilled development activities have been implemented by FATA Development Authority in a number of villages by renting a house/ compound (locally named as Hujjra). These centers are located at easily accessible locations including all basic facilities, i.e. access road, space (2 rooms), adequate open space, electricity, kitchen, washroom etc. The FDA has provided all requisite equipment/requirements in the Centre including 7 sewing machines, pedestal machine and knitting, furniture & fixture, cabinets/racks and training material (44 items including clothes, thread and others). There are 3 head teachers and 20 trainees at each women skill development Center.

- As a feedback, the local women and girls shared that they were pleased to get training/skill development in (a) Tailoring and dress making (b) Hand and machine knitting and (c) Hand and machine embroidery. By getting training, they will be more comfortable and confident to start small enterprise in their homes or in village individually or jointly (in the form a women group), where they will start stitching/sewing clothes for their families as well as for income generation.

- They further pointed out that the Government may also provide trainings/skills to women and offer jobs in nearby industrial zones/industries by ensuring safe mobility/transport and privacy. As a result, the income generation/household well-being and confidence of local women will be increased.

- This training will help women to learn and practice stitching/sewing and embroidery and they can work for their families. This additional income will promote culture os savings.

- Training centres need to be upgraded by adding additional training/diversify the training activity keeping in view the requirements of nearby industrial zones. Additional skill development centers and courses may be added, so that some job opportunities could be available to the local women and girls in their respective areas.

8.2 Consultative Meetings with Officials

In addition to the community consultations discussed in section above, 10 institutional consultations23 were carried out with related departments/political administration. The feedback of these consultation meetings is as below:

Construction of Combined Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP) may be carried out to minimize the effluent.

Assistance is needed to focus particularly on the development of a CFTC at MMC and of women skills development centers.

Four (4) link/access roads will need to be constructed under the project consisting of total 79 km length, where 40 km are new road and 39 km are existing roads.

Construction of a bridge at Kabul river adjacent to the MMC is also required. Construction of new roads & bridge and rehabilitation and widening of existing roads

involves land acquisition, due to which there will be loss of crops, trees, structures, and other assets as well as livelihood of the people/local community.

23 Institutional consultations – consultations with officials of concerned lined Departments and political administration (Political Tehsil Dar).


57

FDA is of the view that the construction of CFTC may be considered under Up- gradation activity of Industrial zone.

There will be land acquisition, due to which, there will be loss of crops, trees, structures and other assets as well as relocation of public utilities/infrastructure.

Two vocational Institutes are located in FATA (i.e. vocational instate at Jumrud and Bara). The Bara Institute is under expansion and the construction work is in advance stage of completion including construction of one hostel.

FDA is of the view that all male students will be shifted in Vocational Institute at BARA, while the Vocational Institute at Jamrud may be allocated for females as there are settlements/towns in the vicinity of the Institute.

8.3 Stakeholders Consultation Framework

The project related impacts, issues and accordingly their mitigation/resettlement measures as well as the implementation process and procedures will require extensive consultations. Thus, the stakeholder consultation and participation during various stages of the project will help to improve decision making and ultimately lead to reduced social conflicts and other risks that can impact the successful implementation of the project. The civil works activities under the Component II of the project will have an social impacts related to gender, labour, and impact on land resource (Private/ Communal/ tribal) loss of trees, crops as well as other assets as specified in RPF. Consultations can serve as one avenue to identify ownership, type and magnitude of impact, eligibility, entitlements of compensation. This will require consultations with PAPs and local community (Jirga) as well as consultation with line departments/agencies (PA/APA). Consultations also include disclosure of information through distribution of brochures/leaflets, print and electronic media, and placement of banners at conspicuous places. The information includes eligibility, compensation of payment, project GRM and documents requirement for submitting claims for compensation.

Depending on the actual situation, stakeholder’s consultations will continue throughout the project period, i.e. design, preparation and implementation to obtain stakeholders feedback to minimize the adverse impacts of the project. Project stakeholders include but are not limited to PAPs/community (local Jirga), concerned government departments, local administration (PA/APA) and the community representatives from the proposed project area.

10. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

10.1 Grievance Redress Mechanism

A GRM24 will be established and this may be at each sub-project level to facilitate amicable and timely resolution of complaints and grievances of the communities including PAPs (male and female) regarding all social issues including land acquisition, resettlement/relocation, and livelihood restoration.

Under the GRM, GRC will may be formed comprising of PIU’s, APA, District Officer (Revenue), representative of SRMU, RU, representative of supervisory consultants, member of PAPC (male and female) and Niab Tehsil Dar/Patwari (Revenue record keeper). GRC can be formulated at the PIU/SRMU level.

Under the GRM, community CR will be maintained by the PIU/SRMU. All complaints and grievances will be logged in the register along with details including date of complaint, name, address of complainant, location, and description of complaint. The GRC will then fill additional details in the register including the corrective action needed, timeframe for corrective action to be taken, and person/project entity responsible for corrective action. Once the corrective action is implemented, the GRC will document the associated details in the register including the description of action taken, date of action completion, views of the complainant regarding the corrective action, and any residual grievance. GRM procedures will be disseminated particularly among the local communities/local Jirga) and PAPs. GRM will be gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to the PAPs at no cost and without retribution.

For making GRM effectively operational, the set-up of GRM will be at different tiers. First Tier (GRM at Community level/ Local Jirga): At first step, the GRM will be at Community level25 (that may be a village or group of villages). This will include (a) representative of PAPC/Jirga (PAPC –male and female members) (b) Social mobilizer (male and female) and (c) Naib Tehsil Dar/ Patwari (Revenue record keeper). The minor grievances/complaints can be resolved/handled at this level (first tier). If a complaint cannot be resolved at this level, it will be formally forwarded to PIU (GRC), i.e. 2nd tier. If grievance/complaint still could not be resolved, it will be forwarded to the FATA Secretariat/PA (3rd tier). Grievance (s) will be resolved and notification will be made.

For effective operation of GRM, the following steps/tiers will be followed:

Tier 1 (Village/Community level – Local Jirga): When a grievance arises, the PAP (male or female) may contact directly with the village level committee. The committee may resolve the concern at their door step. If the issue is successfully resolved, no further follow-up is required. The committee will make all efforts to resolve the issue within 10 days of launch of complaint.

Tier 2 (GRC at PIU level): If no solution can be found at Tier 1, the PAP (male and female) may enter concern/grievance to the GRC (PIU). The GRC will log the complaint along with relevant details in the community CR. For each complaint, the GRC will investigate and prepare Fact-Finding Report and assess its eligibility, and identify an

24 Guidance on GRM is available in the following documents: 1) World Bank. 2014. The World Bank's Approach to Grievance Redress in Projects. Washington, DC (https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/20119.) 2. World Bank. 2014. Evaluating a grievance redress mechanism. Washington, DC : World Bank Group (http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/431781468158375570/Evaluating-a-grievance-redress-mechanism). 25 Community level refers to village level or group of village PAPC (male & female).


66

appropriate solution. Accordingly, the concerns will be redressed/appropriately responded within two weeks. Thus, the GRC will, as appropriate, instruct the responsible entity to take corrective actions. The GRC will review the responsible entity’s response and undertake additional monitoring as needed. During the complaint investigation, the GRC will work in close consultation with the Contractors, the Project Consultants, PIU/SRMU and RU.

Tier 3 (FATA Secretariat level): If still, the complainant is not satisfied/issue not resolved, then GRC will forward the complaint to FATA Secretariat for remedial measures and decisions/grievance (s) will be resolved accordingly. The committee at FATA Secretariat level will consist of PA, PIU, as well as PAPC/PAP representative (Local Jirga) and grievance (s) will be resolved within three weeks.

10.2 Grievance Redress System and Procedure

1. Any grievance in written, verbal or digital form shall be recorded by the receiving office in its Grievances Record System which will be maintained at PIU;

2. A serial number will be assigned to it together with the date of receipt; 3. A written acknowledgement to a complainant shall be sent promptly and in any case

not more than 3 working days; 4. The acknowledgement shall contain the name and designation of the officer who will

deal with the grievance; information that necessary action will be taken within the specified working days from the date of receipt of the grievance by the officer concerned; name, address, email-id and phone number of the authority which the complainant could approach if the matter is not redressed within the specified timeframe or if he is not satisfied with the action taken;

5. If the office receiving the grievance/complaint is not the one designated to consider and dispose it, the receiving office shall forward it to the designated office, but after having complied with the requirements at 1 to 3 above;

6. The office designated to consider the matter shall make every effort to ensure that grievances/appeals are considered and disposed of within the stipulated period of fifteen days; and

7. If the grievance redress mechanism fails to satisfy the aggrieved affected person at all levels, he can submit the case to the appropriate court of law.

10.3 Closure of Grievance

68

11. CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING

Capacity building will be needed to ensure that institutions involved in the implementing of different components of SMF have the technical, management and other skills to perform their role and responsibilities efficiently and in a timely manner.

The key institutions for capacity building includes, i) PIU & SRMU ii) the Contractor, iii) Consultants, line-departments/agencies, local NGOs, and other concerned who will be involved in the implementation of SIA/SMPs and RAP/ARAPs and other social safeguards instruments.

The technical officials/engineers of FATA Secretariat/ FDA, Contractor staff has limited experience regarding the social safeguard and management. As discussed above, PIU (FATA Secretariat) will be overall responsible for implementation of the SIA/SMP and RAP/ARAP, therefore basic training on regulatory requirements, social impacts, and social impact assessment and management would greatly improve the capability of relevant technical staff in carrying out their responsibilities under the proposed PTEC Project (Component II).

The following Table 11.1 summarizes the training requirements of all the relevant staff who will be involved in the implementation of SMF/SIA/SMP and RPF/RAP/ARAPs, basic training for key personnel on regulatory requirements, SIAs and SMF, RAP/ARAPs. Details regarding training/capacity development are presented in Table 11.1 as below.

13. MONITORING AND EVALUATION MECHANISM

13.1 Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring of the implementation of SMF/SIA/SMP and RPF/RAP/ARAP implementation26 will be carried out in two tiers. In the first tier, internal monitoring will be carried out by PIU (FATA Secretariat) with the assistance of SRMU, whereas in the second tier, external monitoring will be carried out by the IMC. The purpose of these monitoring activities is to ensure that the implementation of safeguard documents (SMF/SIA/SMP and RPF/RAP/ARAP) in a timely manner, in accordance with the procedures described in the SMF, and in compliance with the national as well as WB safeguard policies. These monitoring tiers are described below.

13.2 Internal Monitoring

Internal monitoring will be carried out by the PIU, this may be through the SRMU. The PIU/SRMU staff will make regular field visits to monitor the SIA/SMP and RAP/ARAP implementation activities in line with the procedures and guidelines given in this SMF and RPF. SRMU will hold meetings with the PIU and RU as well as consultants, PAPC, project engineers, revenue staff, in order to review the disbursement of payment of compensation, social mobilization, GRM record, progress reports, and also hold meetings with the local community particularly the PAPs.

SRMU will also assess the compliance status with respect to the national regulatory and WB safeguard policy requirements. The monitoring results will be compiled in the form of monitoring reports. A summary of these reports will be included in the quarterly project implementation reports, which will be distributed within FATA Secretariat and FDA and will also be shared with the WB.

The monthly progress reports will be consolidated on quarterly basis and will be submitted to World Bank. Specific monitoring indicators will be as follows:

Information campaign and consultation with PAPs; Status of land acquisition and payments on land compensation; Compensation for affected structures and other assets; Relocation of PAPs; Payments for loss of income/ livelihood; Selection and distribution of replacement land areas; and Income restoration activities Gender segregated analysis of RAP implementation Progress on the gender sensitive grievance redress mechanism

13.3 Independent Monitoring/Third Party Validation

The independent monitoring will be carried out by IMC, which will be engaged by PIU. The IMC will develop monitoring and evaluation indicators for the study on the basis of the SIA/SMP and RAP/ARAP and the underlying objectives of the national regulations as well as WB policies on involuntary resettlement.

26 RAP will be prepared later on the finalized design.


72

Independent monitoring will be carried out on bi-annual basis. The key objectives of this process are to ensure that the provisions of the SIA/SMP and RAP/ARAP are effectively implemented, compensation payments are paid in a timely manner to the entitled PAPs, public consultations are carried out, GRM is functional and grievances are addressed effectively as well as in a timely manner, and the PIU/SRMU (FATA Secretariat) is maintaining an up-to-date record of the monitoring reports.

The IMC will review the status of the SIA/SMP and RAP/ARAP in the light of the policy, principles, targets, budget and duration that has been laid down in this SMF and RPF. Monitoring protocols will be both quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative will include interviews with PAPs including women, while in case of qualitative, focus group discussions/community consultations, physical verifications will be taken in account. Quantitative information will be collected by using well-structured data collection tools and semi-structured format/checklist will be used in case of qualitative information.

The key tasks during monitoring include:

Develop specific monitoring indicators for undertaking monitoring and evaluation for implementation including the compensation payments, community participation, consultation, and disclosure;

Review results of internal monitoring and verify claims through random checks (minimum 25% sample size) at the field level to assess whether resettlement objectives have been achieved;

Involve the PAPs and community groups in assessing the impacts of resettlement for monitoring and evaluation purposes;

Review and verify the progress of RAP/ARAP implementation and prepare quarterly and bi -annual reports for the PIU;

Evaluate and assess the adequacy of compensation given to the PAPs and the livelihood opportunities and incomes as well as the quality of life of PAPs especially women and vulnerable groups;

Evaluate and assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the consultative process with the PAPs, particularly with vulnerable PAPs & women, including the adequacy and effectiveness of grievance procedures and legal redress available to the affected parties, and dissemination of information;

Assess socioeconomic conditions of the PAPs at the post implementation period of RAP/ARAP;

Capture reactions from PAPs on entitlements and compensation; Assess changes in housing/business restoration, income restoration, and income

levels; Analyze and compare the livelihood and living standard of PAPs for pre- and post-

project scenarios; Evaluate and assess the adequacy and effectiveness of GRM; its recording, reporting

and processing time and its redressal; Evaluate and assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the institutional arrangements,

PIU, SRMU, FDA, and consultants; Assessment of the resettlement and social management efficiency, effectiveness,

impact and sustainability for drawing lessons for future resettlement policy formulation and planning;


73

The IMC will also assess the status of project affected vulnerable groups such as female-headed households, disabled/elderly and families below the poverty line.

The following will be considered as the basis for monitoring and evaluation of the project:

Socio-economic conditions of the PAPs in the post-resettlement period; Communications and reactions from PAPs on entitlements, compensation, options,

alternative developments and relocation timetables etc.; Changes in housing and income levels; Rehabilitation of squatters; Valuation of property; Grievance procedures/mechanism; Disbursement of compensation; and Level of satisfaction of the PAPs in the post resettlement period.

The external monitoring agency/consultant will carry out a post-implementation evaluation of the RAP implementation about a year after completion of its implementation. The compelling reason for this study is to find out if the objectives of the RAP have been attained or not. The benchmark data of socioeconomic survey of severe impacts/severely affected PAPs conducted during the preparation of the RAP will be used to compare the pre and post project conditions. The external monitoring agency/consultant will recommend appropriate supplemental assistance/or corrective action plan for the PAPs to ensure the accomplishment of objectives of the RAP.

Annex-1: Physical and Cultural Resource Management Framework and Chance Find Procedures

A. The PCR Management Framework

The PCR Management Plan can constitute a section of the SIA/SMP, if one is required. The Management Plan should clearly:

Schedule the implementation of the proposed PCR mitigating measures and PCR monitoring, if any, taking into account the weather pattern, and identify roles and responsibilities for such implementation;

Identify procedures for handling chance finds, including the role and responsibilities of the cultural authorities and the contractor; and

Identify procedures for addressing PCR impacts which may occur during implementation but were not predicted in the impact assessment.

The following are the main considerations guiding the preparation of the PCR Management Plan.

1. Policy, Legal and Regulatory Framework

This section should contain reference to the following, including identification of any implications for the PCR component of the SIA/SMP, such as special standards or requirements:

The World Bank‘s EA policy OP/BP 4.01 and the PCR policy OP/BP 4.11;

Sections of national EIA laws, regulations and guidelines relating to PCR;

Sections of the national environmental conservation strategy, if any, relating to PCR;

Legislation and regulations relating to:

o Antiquities, including sale and export;

o Procedures for addressing chance finds, in terms of ownership and requirements by the contractor and cultural authorities;

o Archaeology, including the issue of permits.

Relevant authorities charged with PCR identification, protection and management, their powers, the legal basis for their authority, and their actual capacity;

PCR-related conventions and treaties to which the borrower country is signatory;

Sites in the borrower country currently listed by other international agency in the field of PCR such as the World Monuments Fund, or ICOMOS, as being of national or international importance;

Any national or provincial registers of PCR maintained by accredited authorities in the borrower country.

2. Project Description

The project description should detail construction and operation phases, including maps, diagrams and plans of planned activities. The description should take into consideration any potential impacts on PCR of planned activities, construction/rehabilitation processes, transport arrangements, etc.


88

3. Analysis of Alternatives

In cases where there are major PCR issues, the analysis of alternatives should consider alternative project sites or technologies that could specifically avoid or minimize those impacts on PCR.

4. Baseline Data

The baseline data should begin with an investigation and inventory of PCRs likely to be affected by the project. The data should consider all types of PCR that might be impacted, covering:

Living-culture PCR, as well as historical, archaeological and paleontological PCR;

Natural and human-made PCR;

Movable and immovable PCR;

Unknown or invisible PCR.

The data collection activity should involve consultations with concerned parties and potentially affected communities. Potential data sources might include cultural authorities, national or provincial PCR registers, universities and colleges, public and private PCR-related institutions, religious bodies and local PCR NGOs. Sources at the community level typically include, for example, community leaders and individuals, schools, religious leaders, scholars, PCR specialists, and local historians.

The baseline data section should include maps showing PCR baseline data within the potential impact areas. In addition, data should detail the cultural significance or value attributed by the concerned or affected parties to the PCR identified in the baseline. Consultation is a particularly important means of identifying PCR and documenting their presence and significance. This will normally not be expressed in monetary terms, but rather should explain the nature of the cultural significance, for example whether it is religious, ethnographic, historic, or archaeological. In the case of PCR of archaeological, architectural, paleontological or other scholarly or scientific value, the PCR Management Plan should provide an assessment of the relative importance of the PCR in this regard locally, nationally and/or internationally.

5. Impact Assessment

PCR should be included in the impact matrix and PCR impacts for each project stage – construction/rehabilitation, operation, etc. – should be detailed. The PCR Management Plan should specifically describe the nature and extent of the potential impacts and state precisely why they are considered to be significant or insignificant. The impact assessment should also consider the possibility of accidents during construction/rehabilitation and operations which might affect PCR, especially in urban settings, which might call for special precautionary measures.

6. Mitigation Measures

It is particularly important that consultations with concerned and affected parties are conducted on the proposed mitigation measures relating to PCR impacts. Agreements must be reached and evidence of such agreements should be included in PCR Management Plan. It should be checked whether the recommended mitigation measures might themselves have environmental impacts (e.g. archaeological excavations). PCR Management Plan should detail the cost of implementing and the timing of the recommended PCR mitigation measures.


89

B. Chance Find Procedures

Chance find procedures which will be used during this Project are as follows:

Stop the construction activities in the area of the chance find;

Delineate the discovered site or area;

Secure the site to prevent any damage or loss of removable objects. In cases of removable antiquities or sensitive remains, a night guard shall be present until the responsible local authorities and relevant Department of Archaeology take over;

Notify the supervisory Engineer who in turn will notify the responsible local authorities and relevant Department of Archaeology immediately (within 24 hours or less);

Responsible local authorities and relevant Department of Archaeology would be in charge of protecting and preserving the site before deciding on subsequent appropriate procedures. This would require a preliminary evaluation of the findings to be performed by the archeologists (within 72 hours). The significance and importance of the findings should be assessed according to the various criteria relevant to cultural heritage; those include the aesthetic, historic, scientific or research, social and economic values;

Decisions on how to handle the finding shall be taken by the local authorities and relevant Department of Archaeology. This could include changes in the layout (such as when finding an irremovable remain of cultural or archeological importance) conservation, preservation, restoration and salvage;

Implementation for the authority decision concerning the management of the finding shall be communicated in writing by the relevant Department of Archaeology; and

Construction work could resume only after permission is given from the local authorities and relevant Department of Archaeology concerning safeguard of the heritage.

These procedures must be referred to as standard provisions in construction contracts, when applicable. During project supervision, the Site Engineer shall monitor the above regulations relating to the treatment of any chance find encountered are observed.

The contact details of the relevant institutions should be mentioned in the chance find procedures of sub-project instrument.
