Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Introduction
The Knight Foundation’s “Soul of the Community” research found that three main qualities
attach people to place: 1) Social offerings, such as entertainment venues and places to
meet, 2) Openness, i.e. how welcoming a place is, and 3) The area’s aesthetics, e.g. its
physical beauty and green spaces. City beautification is an important step in creating a
city that feels safe and cohesive. The beautification and restoration of Baburail canal
project will be a visionary of unique urban and waterways project initiated by Narayanganj
City Corporation. Baburail canal was one of the crucial waterway that was an important
route to carry goods and products to the city heart, because it connect Shitalakhya and
Dhaleshwari River through the Narayanganj District. The channel is now disconnected
from the river Shitalakhya at east by filling it with earth. Now the canal is dying day by day
as the illegal occupiers every day construct shops interrupting its water flow, and also
used for solid and liquid waste dumping including sewerage.
Due to increasing demand of Narayanganj city dwellers and to reopen the old waterway of
this canal, Mayor of NCC, Dr. Selina Hayat Ivy, aimed in 2011 to restore the Canals to full
navigation in the interests of conservation, biodiversity and local quality of life, and to use
the restoration as a catalyst for wider social, economic and environmental regeneration in
areas neighboring the canal. Moreover, conservation of the waterway heritage and
ecology by restoration and beautification canals is also important for significant social and
economic regeneration, which will make a substantial contribution to local community
development and quality of life by increasing opportunities for recreational and amenity
use of the canal and their immediate environs.
The policy framework and entitlements for the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are based
on national law, Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance of 1982
(ARIPO) and WB’s (OP4.12) Safeguard Guideline’s on resettlement.
As per WB OP4.12, policy guidelines will have to be ensured for the interest of the project
level and project authority/ requiring body will reinstate the socio economic condition of
project-affected person (PAPs).
Both qualitative and quantitative method were used to assess the social impact of the
project as well as to make a plan for social mitigation of adverse impacts of the project. A
quantitative survey was conducted to collect 384 respondents’ data by using electronic
semi-structure questionnaire. Moreover, for qualitative data 5 FGDs and 13 KIIs also done
to get the details of social impacts and mitigation mechanisms of the project.
Total 349 structure are identified as project affected structure that will be removed for
canal restoration. The most of the structures are business shops (73%); whereas 15
percent of the structures are houses and 9% of the structures are bridge and rest of are
the social organization (3%). Among the structures one-half of are not paved (48%),
whereas 40% of are semi paved structure and only 12% of the structures are paved.
However, 53% structures are found illegally occupied and established in the project area
whereas 26% of structures are situated in NCC place. Moreover, only 18 % structures are
establish on lease areas taken from government and only 3% structures are legally own
by the local people.
It must be admitted first that the findings from the individuals and groups are quite
consistent and excepting a few from among the directly affected and the poor, all were
found highly enthusiastic and confident about successful and timely completion of the
Project. The positive image and absolute authority of the Mayor of NCC appeared to be
instrumental for this. Even those few who had different views and concerns also
expressed their confidence on the Mayor for the final decision.
The respondents recalled that the Baburail canal was quite alive 30-40 years back and
was connected to the two rivers Dhaleswari and Shitalakhya. The respondents also
recalled that the water quality was good; cargo/jute boats and launch used to move
through the channel, they bathed in the water and different river fish were caught by the
fishermen. They also identified the factors/reasons for gradual turning of the canal to the
present state as well as the responsible acts and actors. Less water flow in the rivers,
dumping of solid waste on the canal bank, illegal occupants and encroachers of the area
close to the politicians, lack of dependence on the canal route, and lack of public
awareness and pressure etc. were categorically mentioned by the respondents. However,
it should mention that restoration of waterway is a ultimate dream and would be addressed
through some other large project when water quality of these two rivers will improve.
As mentioned above, only a small segment of the respondents raised some doubts and
concerns about the success of the project. Again, some suggestions were also noted from
the FGDs and KIIs. The researchers feel that some of those are worth mentioning for the
sponsors, planners and implementers of the project to take care in finalizing their design
and implementation plan. However, some of the concerns already solved the concerned
authorities. While the individual reports describe them, the following are some of the
commonly cited ones:
1. Lack of clarity and confusion exist about the authority of the project, especially in
the union Parishad area. Some raised question whether the quality of the work in
two areas would be identical or not.
2. Questions are raise whether the canal will be able to link the two rivers or not? If
not, would there be water in the canal year round? In that case, would not this be
called a successful project?
3. Some poor people probably will lose their earning opportunity and/or residence
due to the project especially in the extended beautification component. How much
they will be compensated for their loss. However, the project will create income
opportunities for poor through creating jobs during construction and after
construction employments in restaurants and fast food shop etc.
4. Lot of hassles and environmental pollution may take place during the
implementation of the project. How much care and attention could be expected
from the implementers on these.
5. Some expressed their concern about generating stated benefit due to poor
management after completion of the project. Some of them demanded involvement
of people in the project maintenance.
6. To keep the canal water free from pollution, the respondents emphasized on the
need for very careful management/discharge of solid waste, waste water and
sewage.
7. Some poor people felt that this type of project would not benefit them. It will help
the landowners of the project neighboring areas and the rich.
8. A few skeptic participants also said that the project might enhance or invite social
crimes like prostitution (return of Taanbazar) and drug addiction in new form.
9. Many of the respondents suggested for establishing good public toilets in suitable
places and some proposed to have drinking water supply for all, as the project will
attract many people.
To eradicate the adverse impacts of the project and ensuring the resettlement of PARs
and establishing the livelihood of PARs, social mitigation plan would adopted. Both SMP
and Resettlement Plan will be implemented under establishing a resettlement unit (RU)
during construction period and it will be converted to Social Development Unit/CSR
department during post project period. RP will be implemented by hiring an implementing
NGO for 06 months’ period. There will be a provision monitoring, social and livelihood
specialist with RU for the project period. NGO will prepare a monthly and final report
regarding the completion of RP and SMP. Tentative budget of the SMP is 47.90 Million
Taka. RAP will deal only resettlement issues, so SMP will not include any resettlement
issues. The details of RAP is given in a separate report.
During public consultation, all concerned urged to ensure proper compensation on land
and structure and suggested alternative livelihood program for project affected households
(near 400) (PAHs). In case of SMP, some issues have been given priority for the
increasing efforts of improving living standard of project area people. For sustainable
development, livelihood skill is to be generalized among the project area population.
Moreover, Some other social issues are prevalent in the area, viz: gender issues, wage
discrimination, child labor, child and women persecution, moral degradation, addiction,
gender discrimination, unhealthy sanitation, unhealthy harmful food preservation and
distribution in the hotel and restaurant, AIDS & STD diseases among migrants and
construction workers may spread in the area. Training and workshops will also be
arranged to aware about these issues for the community people of the area. In addition,
special capacity building training will be arranged for women of PARs families.
E. Conclusion
Chapter 1: Introduction
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
There are hundreds of rivers and canals in Bangladesh with a large network of navigation
routes. Transportation through waterways has always been a natural, environment friendly
and relatively cheap mode of transport. Inland waterways have become the very important
mode not only for maintaining transport link between various remote parts of the country; it
is a means of transporting export-import cargo as well. Over the decades, the navigability
during dry season in many rivers and canals of the country has been deteriorating
because of morphological processes and for withdrawal of water from the rivers beyond
the border and within the country. Illegal occupation and poor or no maintenance of inland
waterways has further aggravated the navigability.
Narayanganj, the oldest and the most prominent river port of Bangladesh, grew into a
prominent place of trade and commerce, which will become important in generating its
own economic and demographic pull in the southeast district and will be the dominant city
adjacent to Dhaka due to national policy on equal development as well as the economic
growth of the country and due to benefit of proposed Padma bridge & Jatrabari flyover.
Rivers and canals of Narayanganj has been playing a significant role to the sustainable
development of this city. There are a few rivers and rivulets flowing through the district.
Among those the Shitalakhya, the Dhaleshwari, the Buriganga, the Balu and the Meghna
are important. Those are non-tidal and navigable throughout the year. They have been
playing a vital role in the economy of the district as they facilitate irrigation, drainage, and
water supply of the area. Among them all, Baburail canal was one of the crucial waterway
once that was an important route to carry goods and products to the city heart, because it
connect Shitalakhya and Dhaleshwari river through the Narayanganj District. The canal is
now disconnected from the river Shitalakhya at east by filling it with earth. Now the canal
is dying day by day as the illegal occupiers every day construct shops interrupting its
water flow, and also used for solid and liquid waste dumping including sewerage.
Due to increasing demand of Narayanganj city dwellers and to reopen the old waterway of
this canal, Mayor of NCC, Dr. Selina Hayat Ivy, aims in 2011 is to restore the Canals to full
navigation in the interests of conservation, biodiversity and local quality of life, and to use
the restoration as a catalyst for wider social, economic and environmental regeneration in
areas neighboring the canal. Moreover, conservation of the waterway heritage and
ecology by restoration and beautification canals is also important for significant social and
economic regeneration, which will make a substantial contribution to local community
development and quality of life by increasing opportunities for recreational and amenity
use of the canal and their immediate environs. In addition, public spaces that are clean,
that have places to sit down, and that are close to trees, flowers and outdoor art make us
feel happier, relaxed and safer. Beautification enhancements provide benefits for
businesses, residents and tourists. Research has demonstrated that businesses that are
located in areas with beautification elements have higher foot traffic and sales.
Aside from the obvious aesthetic benefits, studies indicate that beautification, including
landscaping of waterbody, can help drivers reduce stress, frustration, and aggression,
while helping maintain safe environment. Implementing simple, cost‐effective
beautification projects can enhance communities and improve quality of life for residents
and travelers. The proposed Baburail Canal Beautification and Restoration Project is an
ambitious plan at present to restore to full navigation of two historic inland waterways, the
Shitalakhya-Dhaleshwari River connecting Canal. The existing Baburail canal with most of
its part filled up with earth, dumping garbage and sewage pit, which cause nuisance and
foul odors. There are also four other canals carries household wastewater and rainwater
enter into the Baburail canal.
Finally, all the wastewater carries through Baburail canal and discharge to the
Dhaleshwari River. At present NCC intend and taken initiative to restore the Baburail canal
only connecting Shitalakhya and Dhaleshwari River. Other canals also restore
subsequently. However, the canal connection with the two rivers without cleaning its water
will spoil the aim of the project and will not improvement of the environment and quality of
life of the area. Shitalakhya and Dhaleshwari river water is highly contaminated with huge
volume of industrial waste and the water quality is degrading day by day. At this moment,
the canal water should be protected from the contaminated river water by installing sluice
gate at the both end of the river. In future when both of the river water will be cleaned and
become non-contaminated, then the sluice gates can be opened for flow. The canal
restoration and beautification along with appropriate conservation of the environment as
well as ensuring the recreation and amusement for all age group of city dwellers.
1. To ensure that the project is Environmentally & Socially Feasible on the proposed
location;
2. To restoration of this canal will reconnect Dhaleshwari -Shitalakhya river in future,
thus improving water flow, quality of water and surrounding environment and slope
protection with proper Navigation of boating through the canal;
3. To restore the legacy of prime business hub through shops and assisted the local
business;
4. To restore the bridges and culverts connecting the both sides of Canal;
5. To restore the Gymkhana Lake, slope protection, amusement facilities, assorted
urban recreation spaces to make life comfortable and environmentally viable;
6. To understand the Traffic impacts on the surrounding road networks and
transportation facilities after the proposed development;
7. To Save the valuable land from land grabbers and improve this encroached area
as an open space/ breathing place for retention area of water for avoiding artificial
water logging within the City Corporation.

The objective of SIA is to ensure that development maximizes its benefits and minimizes
its costs, especially those costs borne by people (including those in other places and in
the future). Costs and benefits may not be measurable or quantifiable and are often not
adequately taken into account by decision-makers, regulatory authorities and developers.
By identifying impacts in advance: (1) better decisions can be made about which
interventions should proceed and how they should proceed; and (2) mitigation measures
can be implemented to minimize the harm and maximize the benefits from a specific
planned intervention or related activity.
SIA also helped in enhancing the project benefits to poor and vulnerable people while
minimizing or mitigating concerns, risks and adverse impacts. Further, as the project
implementation entails a large number other social issues such as influx of labor during
construction and others, a systematic assessment provided the basis to prepare a Social
Management Plan.
RAP and those affected have access to project benefits, both during project construction
as well as operation. Specifically, the objectives of the study are:
A total 384 respondent’s survey was done within the 0.5 km (See Figure:4) distance from
the bank of Baburail canal. At first, the holding numbers of the HHs were collected, and
then respondents were selected randomly from the randomly selected HHs. The sample
size was calculated by using Rao soft sample size calculator, where margin of error was
5%, confidence interval was 95%, population Narayanganj city corporation was 7,09,381
(source: www.ncc.org.bd) and response distribution was 50%. The quantitative data were
collected electronically using semi-structured questionnaire.
The survey has assessed the impacts of the project, the socio-economic conditions, and
living standards of affected persons due to the project implementation. The following were
collected during the survey:
The survey data was downloaded from the server instantly after the survey was completed
to get the first database. After coding the open-ended responses, and doing a rigorous
checking by trained staff members in the office, the clean database was prepared. The
study team members then processed the data to get the total set of tables.
The collected data was tabulated and analyzed using quantitative technique
disaggregated by district, PNGO, nature of beneficiary (primary Vs. secondary) and
gender of the respondents by using, SPSS 22, Microsoft Excel 2016 and Windows Visio
2016 software.
The respondents were informed clearly that the information they provided during the
interview would be kept strictly confidential. The interview was held under conditions
where in the respondent felt most comfortable in responding openly. In addition, their
identity was not linked to the study at any point of time or stages of the study. The study
registered oral consent from all interviewees.
income; it also does not cover losses of non-titled persons (Sharecropper, squatters,
encroachers, etc.) aside from crop losses to tenants. However, due to various reasons,
actually legal compensation does not cover the market price of acquired land.
The Deputy Commissioner (DC) processes land acquisition under the Ordinance and pays
compensation to the legal owners of the acquired land. The Ministry of Lands (MOL) is
authorized to deal with land acquisition through the DCs. Khash (government owned land)
lands should be acquired first when a project acquires both Khash and private land. If a
project acquires only Khash, the land will be transferred through an inter-ministerial
meeting following the preparation of acquisition proposal submitted to Deputy
Commissioner (DC) or Ministry of Land (MOL).
Water Act 2013 is based on the National Water Policy, and designed for integrated
development, management, extraction, distribution, usage, protection and conservation of
water resources in Bangladesh. The project activities will influence the water quality
positively.
Protection and Conservation of Fish Act (1950) provides power to the government to make
and apply rules to protect fisheries; prohibit or regulate erection and use of fixed engines;
and construction of temporary or permanent weirs, dams, bunds, embankments and other
structures. The Act prohibits destruction of fish by explosives, guns, and bows in inland or
coastal areas; and destruction of fish by poisoning, pollution, or effluents. The Act
prescribes the seasons during which fishing is allowed, prohibits fishing during spawning
periods, and specifies officials having authority to detect breaches of this Act.
The Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 provides the guidance of employer’s extent of
responsibility and workmen’s extent of right to get compensation in case of injury by
accident while working.
Inland Shipping Ordinance 1976 and Inland Shipping (Amendment) Act 1990 deals with
the administration, registration, competency and pollution control, etc., of inland water
transport.
The Government of Bangladesh under MOL has prepared a national policy on involuntary
resettlement though formally not accepted, which sets out that the rights of those
displaced by development projects shall be fully respected, and persons being displaced
shall be treated with dignity and assisted in such a way that safeguards their welfare and
livelihoods irrespective of title, non-title, gender, and ethnicity. The Policy on involuntary
resettlement recognizes that:
All those displaced involuntarily by projects impacts like eviction must be resettled
and rehabilitated in a productive and sustainable manner. People who are resettled
must be able, through their own efforts and/or with support as may be required, to
restore or improve upon their level of living within a reasonable period, at least pre
project condition.
Cash compensation shall be paid in development projects at replacement value to
those displaced for land and other assets acquired based on established prior
ownership and/or user rights. In addition to cash compensation and resettlement, a
benefit sharing will be considered where feasible. iv. Cultural and customary rights
of people displaced by projects are to be protected, particularly those belonging to
Adivasi’s (indigenous people) and ethnic minorities.
Gender equality and equity in all stages and processes of resettlement and
rehabilitation will be fully respected.
Displaced persons will be informed and consulted in a transparent manner,
including formal disclosure of project impacts and mitigation measures.
Vulnerable groups, including landless, poor women headed households, physically
challenged people, elderly and those falling below the nationally defined poverty
line (by the government) displaced by project impacts, are entitled to additional
benefits and assistance in a manner that addresses their specific needs related to
socio-economic vulnerability.
Similarly, displaced persons and/or businesses on government-leased land will be
eligible for compensation for loss of access to land and sites.
The right to compensation, resettlement and livelihood restoration shall not lapse
or end with the conclusion of implementation of a project and shall remain an
obligation of the owner of the project until fulfilled even beyond project completion.
The draft Policy was submitted to the Government in November 2007. It has been
approved by the Ministry of Land on 01 January 2008 and is placed before the Cabinet
later in February 2008. After cabinet approval, the Government will undertake further work
towards legislative changes to safeguard resettlement rights by law.
The most 73 % of the installation were business organization where as 15% of the
installation were house. Only 9% of the installation were bridge and the lowest 3% of the
installation were social organization. Moreover, 48% of the building were not paved in the
affected structures whereas 40% of the building were semi paved and 12% of the building
were not paved.
Figure 5 indicates the sex distribution of the respondents. In the household survey, half of
the respondents is female and half of male. Moreover, in the south side canal 56.1%
respondents are male compared to north side only 44.3% male. In the same way, 55.7%
respondents are female in north side compared to south side 43.6% female.
The mean age of the respondents is 41 years. The mean age of male respondents is
higher than the mean age of female respondents. Moreover, in both NCC and Union
Parishad areas, the most of the male respondents are in between 46 to 60 years old
whereas, the most of the female respondents are in between 26 to 35 years old (Table 4).
The marital status of the respondents has been shown on Table 5. More than one third of
total respondents is 88% married followed by unmarried members 5.2%, widowed
members is 4.9%, divorced and separated is 1.8%. Both in terms of married and
unmarried member, the male is higher in number compared to female.

Most of the respondents (25 percent) have no formal education in the project area and
one- fourth of the respondents have only class 1 to 5 education. The percent of
uneducated male is significantly higher than the percent of uneducated male respondents.
The percent of uneducated respondents are higher in NCC than in Upazila parishad
areas. Only 8 percent of the respondents have a graduate degree (Table 6).
Figure 6 represents the religion of the respondents who are living within 0.5 km of Baburail
Canal. The figure shows that 90.6% of the respondents are Muslim in the north side of the
canal on the other hand 88% of the respondents are Muslim in the south side of the canal.
It also shows 9.4% of the respondents are Hindu in the north side of the canal whereas
12% of the respondents are Hindu in the south side of the canal. Further it also presents
that the most (89.3%) of the respondents are Muslim and the only 10.7% of the religion of
the respondents are Hindu in the study area (Annex A, Table 101).
Table 7 shows the occupations of the respondents. Among female respondents, most of
them are housewife and 5.6 percent are garment workers. In male respondents, 28
percent are small businessperson or vendor and another 26 percent male respondent’s

rivers and agricultural land with proper law and order. Mayor has an agenda to save the
playground, doing tree plantation and she has already given directions to new elected
councilors to provide her with a list of canals and water bodies that need to be restored.
have thoroughly covered the issues related to environmental and social issues, which
allowed all proposed measures to be developed with sufficient input from the affected
stakeholders, using the mechanism of participatory, inclusive and informed consultation.
The methodology used for the disclosure process was as follows:
i) A 100% questionnaire-based census (inventory) was carried out on the PAPs during
which
Information on the project activities was disseminated and the nature of impact and
compensation issues were discussed.
ii) During the sample-based socio-economic survey, which had covered 384 households
within the impact zones, dissemination of information on the project activities was also
taken and information disclosure carried out.
During consultations and engagement process with people in the Project locality, NCC
field staff explained impacts and benefits of the Project, payment of required
compensation for the damage and measures taken by the Project to avoid public utilities
and community infrastructure such as schools, roads, common property resources etc.
2.5. Plan for further consultation and community participation during Project
implementation
The proposed plan for future public consultations is as follows:
1 Detailed/Check Public Meeting and individual affected household survey In every six
survey will be carried out as per the monitoring programme. The month
survey will be focused on compensation, rehabilitation and
community development programme related to the
different Project components
2 Construction Localized group meetings, Distribution of information Throughout
Phase leaflets and brochures, Public display construction
period
3 Operations Information brochures, Operation field offices in the Continuous
Phase affected localities, Monitoring and providing response to during Project
public enquiries, Press releases operations

Table 15 shows the percentage of possible benefits/good impacts of this project. The
highest 96.4% people claim yes that the area will be attractive where 16.1% people
opposed with the statement. Area will be clean free from waste dumping were agreed by
the 95.3% and here a few 4.7% people disagreed. While 85.6% of the respondent think
that air quality will improve, 14.3% do not think so. It also represents the 72.9% people
admit in income opportunity will increase when the project will be completed and 27.1%
deny these possible benefits.
Table 15: Possible benefits / good impacts when the project will complete
Table 16: Possible problems or adverse impacts when the project will complete
Possible problems during implementation of the project reflects on the table 17. Most of
the people (84.6%) agreed that communication across the canal will be disrupted and
15.45 did not agreed. It also reflecting 32.6% said yes on the education of children will be
disturbed and 67.4% deny this possible problem.
There are some adverse impacts can also be seen in the project area. The key types of
adverse impacts are representing in table 18, which are land acquisition, requisition from
local people, damaging road infrastructure for moving heavy vehicle, health related issues,
temporary loss of local community. Adverse impact for land acquisition would be
demolishing illegal construction building, which were situated in the canal bank where
mitigation measures might be compensation, provided by NCC. Relocation of shops and
business will affect adversely on employment opportunity, here creating alternative income
facilities and arranging income-generating activities (IGA) with new strategies training by
NGOs will work as mitigation measures. Water borne, airborne, STD diseases may
increase due to constriction, migration of workers etc. will increase health related risks
where mitigation measures should be increasing health services in the area, raising
awareness and information campaign on time with the help of NGOs and other related
organizations.

8.4.1 Risks
Major risks of the present project are the land acquisition and livelihood loss of the project
affected people and livelihood restoration of the project-affected person. Other risk is solid
waste and liquid waste management of the project area. So, this issue should be handled
carefully.
8.4.2 Assumptions
In many cases, people are unable to regain business or livelihoods due to the price hike of
land and business place and discontinuation of livelihoods may occur due to the project.
On the other hand, they have to spent illegal money for collecting compensation from NCC
office. Many PAPs, due to lack of up to date legal document are failed to collect money.
Therefore, this is very important to consider these factors very seriously so that the PARs
are getting enough space for restoration their livelihoods.
• Land Acquisition
• Compensation at the rate of full replacement cost
• Livelihood restoration of project affected persons
• Mitigation of social Issues
• Ensure connectivity social, economic and communications
• Ensure environment quality and pollution free water of the canal

12.0 Monthly Monitoring Report
12.1 Final SMP Progress Report
Project area of Baburail Canal is not different from this situation. During census and field
survey of the project area, no any female headed and handicapped people are identified
from the affected people. In the project area women of both Muslim and Hindu community
are living in a conservative society. A majority of women in the surrounding project area
(not exactly acquired area) are housewives from poor community people. Their
educational levels are comparatively low and so, access to technical skills education is
constrained by poverty and other mobility related issues. Most of the women live in their
husbands’ houses and are exclusively dependent on cash incomes generated by the
family from employment. Only a few families own Land and supplementary incomes from
agricultural activities are limited. Their knowledge and awareness on external issues such
as HIV/AIDS is quite remote. Their vulnerabilities are reasonably high in physical and
sexual abuse, domestic violence and other forms of insecurities.
The following proposals are made to involve Women at various levels of the Project.
Women can work as managers during project implementation. The project can hire a local
NGO to implement the RAP. It is proposed that NGO must fulfill the following conditions:
The NGO must propose at least one women as part of the key personnel; the
proposed Women Key Person shall be available to work at site at least 50% of
duration as the contract.
The NGO will depute a technical/ professional team to work at the site, which will
consist at last 30% of Women members. Junior support Personnel and
administrative staff will not have considered as technical/ Professional.
Income generating program will be designed to ensure women a reliable income
by engaging in activities. Taking into account the availability of resources and the
type of enterprises that they are already engaged in.
Capacity enhancing assistance will be provided for improving the access of
women to skills training for off-farm employment such as tailoring, weaving,
cutting, embroidery, handicaps’, hair cutting, beautification and processing of
locally produced products.
Social awareness campaigns and training opportunities will be organized to
increase Women’s in regulation into social and economic mainstream.
Project will strength Women’s community based and non-governmental
organizations by providing training and advisory supports once during construction
period.
Prepare the skill development Plan for the women.
Develop monitoring and evaluation system for the gender development activities.
Provide support for getting loan from financial institutions.
Preparing a periodical report and activities undertaken for the welfare of Women.
The gender action plan will be mainstreaming some important issues from national to
grass root level. This action plan will be eliminating gender inequities. In the context of
present situation, the government as well as the civil society can play vital roles regarding
women development. Some of the following measures are:
The overall objective of Gender Action Plan (GAP) can improve the wellbeing of women
who are living in the proposed project areas. The three specific objectives of GAP are
given below:
The second objective endeavors to identify and provide economic benefits to women and
their families during project construction period. Employment opportunities for women
would be limited in project construction work as such work is largely male-centered in
Bangladesh. In addition, the social cultural norms in Bangladesh may not prescribe
women engaging in construction work along with men in many cases. However, women of
poor families may opt for such employment in the construction work as the work
opportunities available. Employment opportunities for male members from the poor and
vulnerable families could also be provide. It will help to generate incomes by those
employees, which will indirectly benefit the female members of their families.
Opportunities for women to run small tea stalls or selling food parcels can also be
promoted.
The third objective focuses on networking with development agencies, other industrial and
commercial establishments in the area. It will persuade them to implement suitable
programs and activities that enhance the socio-economic conditions of women, girls and
their families. In brief, NCC will ensure following action during construction period for
women.
Engage affected and vulnerable women in construction work if they are interested.
Include 25% women as construction workers.
Separate sheds for women workers by ensuring their privacy and security.
Separate hygienic and safe toilet facilities inside the camp and construction sites.
Provide working dress with helmet, gumboot for workers,
Maintain same wage rate for man and woman.
Provide healthy food facilities near working site with subsidized rate.
Ensure crest for women worker with child near camp and working sites.
Ensure first Aid facilities and mobile hospitals near working site in emergency
cases.
Provide transport between working sites and camps.
Not engage women labor at night
Ensure safe drinking water.
Build awareness about STD diseases, HIV/AIDS.
Build awareness against child and women trafficking and drug abuse.
Ensure payment through bank.

Stakeholders should have a say in decisions about actions that could affect their
lives or essential environment for life.
Stakeholder participation includes the promise that stakeholders’ contribution will
influence the decision
Stakeholder participation seeks input from participants in designing how they
participate
Environmental and social safeguard policies are designed to prevent and mitigate harm to
people and the environment because of Bank Group-supported operations. Those who
feel they have been negatively affected by WBG projects have access to robust and
independent grievance mechanisms and to bodies, such as the World Bank Inspection
Panel and the IFC Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman, able to hold WBG institutions to
account. Therefore, the ability to help eliminate poverty and improve livelihoods would be
severely compromised without space for civil society to help shape development in their
countries. When allegations of reprisal are brought to our attention, we work within the
scope of our mandate with appropriate parties to try to address them. Where links
between reprisals and WBG-financed projects can be established, Bank has taken action
as documented by past cases and will continue to do so.
World Bank has strong policies and mechanisms that address many concerns raised by
human rights advocacy groups and civil society, and Bank is open to dialogue on
improvements and values the perspectives these groups bring. Bank will continue to work
with them towards our shared goal of strengthening protections for people in the countries
in where Bank work. Regarding the above context, SMP and RAP have proposal of
raising participatory approach for project-affected person and concerned stakeholders.
Any time during project’s life one can complain but no more than 2 years after project
closing date
The World Bank Group has several accountability mechanisms designed to enable civil
society and people to voice their concerns regarding projects supported by the Bank.
financed by the World Bank. The IPN is the first body of its kind to give voice to
private citizens in an international development context.
However, as required, an independent monitory panel was asked for the project. In this
panel, there will be a chief consultant, two assistant of the consultant and one NGO
worker. The team will be working as long as the work is going on. At first year, they will
make report every four months. From second year, they will be making reports every six
months. This will be continued until the end of the project.

9.7 Capacity Support and Capacity Building
Capacity support program will be for affected person and project community. Capacity
building support for NCC official for mitigating social resettlement issues, construction etc.
The training of NCC will be for strengthening and institution building. It is proposed here,
25 officials NCC, 350 (one family member of project affected person) and 200 from project
community below poverty line will award capacity building training. PAPs and community
training will be mainly for technical and social issues. NCC will also arrange short training
and workshop for social resettlement issues and investment potential.
NCC will accept all comments and complaints associated with the project. The comments
and complaints will be summarized and listed in a Complaints/Comments Log Book. Any
person or organization may send comments and/or complaints in person or via post, email
or facsimile using the contact information.
The redress committee will be formed with at least seven members. The committee will
solve the grievances, which have been raised by the PAPs and Project community. The
members of the committee are Mayor of NCC or Representative of NCC (1), NGO
representative (1), LGED representative (1), Affected persons’ representatives (2),
Teacher from local educational institute (1), Representative of civil society (1), and
Female Word Councilor (1). From the affected persons’ representatives, one will be a
male and the other one be female. The Grievance Redress committee (GRC) headed by
an officer of Resettlement Unit (RU)/Social Development Unit of project area equivalent to
Assistant Director in the NCC.
The committee will receive the application from the affected stakeholders about their
grievances and they will solve the grievances every month other than disputes relating to
ownership rights under the court of law. The GRC will review grievances involving all
resettlement benefits, relocation, other assistance and social issues.
NCC
NGO
GRC
The GRM will directly focus on and seek to resolve complaints (and requests for
information or clarification) that pertain to outputs, activities and processes undertaken by
the Project, i.e., those which (i) are described in the Project Implementation Manual; (ii)
are funded through the Project (including counterpart funds); and (iii) are carried out by
staff or consultants of the organization, or by their partners and sub-contractors, directly or
indirectly supporting the project. It is envisaged that such cases would fall under (but are
not limited to) the following categories:
project‘s operation manual and a protocol will be set up and distributed to project staff and
implementers. The project level protocol will build on experience of the initial GRM
protocol, which supports implementation of the safeguards explained below.
The representatives of the affected areas will do face to face communication with the
affected people of the community. It will also help the affected females to talk about their
hurdles with the female representative from the community. The whole procedure should
be kept confidential between the representatives from the community and the affected
people. It is noted that the GRC will provide claimants with the assurance that grievances
will be resolved satisfactorily without any cost. GRC will also assist the transfer of
resettlement entitlements.
Grievance procedure will not replace existing legal process available to the affected
people and will not infringe on claimants' right to access existing legal procedures. It will
seek to resolve issues promptly and fairly to expedite the receipt of entitlements and
assistance will be provided without expensive restoration cost and time consuming legal
actions.
Some of the monitoring indicators for the GRC are given below:
Monitoring Indicators
• Payment of compensation and entitlements before replacement
• Time taken for land acquisition
• Number of grievances registered and resolved
• Number of court cases
• Land Purchase amount
• Income patterns
• Land holding status
• Income from land
• Changes in occupations
• Housing status (area, floor, walls, roof, etc.)
• Length of rural roads (connectivity to nearest land ports)
• Journey time
• No. of training programs conducted
• No. of personnel trained
• Trainees’ understanding of the training content
• Achievement of learning objectives
• Adherence to contract conditions and standards (housing,
sanitation, crèches, use of local labor, equal wages to men and
women, avoidance of child labor, etc.)
• Absence of inconvenience and nuisance during implementation
• Adherence to SMP/RAP provisions/ guidelines during sub-project
preparation and implementation
• No Accidents
• No Women trafficking
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are critical for ensuring effective implementation of the
RAP and achievement of the set targets. Resettlement monitoring is a continuous process
of data collection, dialogue with the various stakeholders, analysis & reporting and
feedback to management to enable timely adjustment of implementation procedures and
entitlements, if required.
The monitoring will commence with the commencement of the Project implementation and
shall continue throughout the implementation of the Project. At the implementation period,
field officials will design a format for monthly resettlement/SMP monitoring and data
collection. NCC will prepare a post-resettlement/social evaluation report at the end of the
Project activity. The report should provide evidence whether adverse effects of the project
have been mitigated adequately or at least pre-project standard of living and income have
been restored because of the RAP/SMP implementation.
Some monitoring indicators are given below. This might help as proper guideline for
implementation and monitoring of RAP/SMP. In addition to that, NCC will appoint
Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist for further developing indicators and format for
further needs or may reshuffle from the changed needs for efficient implementation of
RAP.
The GRC, implementing agency or NGO, NCC RU/Social Development Unit and
Accounts section will develop standard reporting formats and reports will be submitted on
a monthly basis highlighting constraints and suggestion for implementation of SMP/RAP.
RU/ Social Development Unit will arrange monthly review meeting with assistance of
Implementing Agency NGO for identifying the problems and proper suggestions will be
given to the implementing NGO and minutes will be sent to the concerned persons and
higher authority. For smooth implementation of the affected person’s problem, project
community GRC will have a direct contact with the field.
The NGO or implementing agency, executing the program will monitor PAPs participation
in the vocational training and other economic rehabilitation program. Records will be
maintained about their attendance and the payments. Post resettlement socio economic
survey for evaluation will be carried out based on a TOR to be developed by a
resettlement/ social development expert engaged by NCC .The survey document will be
the final project document. The implementing NGO will develop Computerized
Management Monitoring System and will supply to the NCC and implementing NGO and
NCC will preserve the data.
detection on resettlement issues, and project expenses and implementation within limits
and schedules. The CMIS will provide household files for PAPs containing losses and
entitlement, scheduled monitoring reports, progress reports, and financial reports. The
Project Management Office (PMO) i.e. RU will establish a quarterly monitoring system
involving staff of the NGO staff. The PMO will prepare progress reports on all aspects of
land acquisition and resettlement activities. The report contains progress made in RAP
implementation with particular attention to compliance with the principles and matrix set
out in the plan. (NCC will hire Independent auditors acceptable to World Bank (WB) to
carry out external monitoring of the resettlement operations within two months of loan
effective date. The External monitor’s report will be submitted simultaneously to the NCC
and WB regularly. The monitoring consultant will be selected within three months of loan
approval. Monitoring will be carried out every year during project implementation.
For efficient implementation and management of the RAP/SMP, some review work is
needed. This will be internal and external. The authority will produce monthly and
quarterly reports for monitoring the progress. NCC will engage efficient consultant from
outside for total review of the project after the implementation period. At the same time,
WB and other stakeholders may arrange separate study to monitor the implementation of
RAP/SMP. NCC will carry out a midterm internal evaluation for the affected person at the
implementation period. Following formats are proposed to use the progress monitoring. In
addition to following formats internal Monitoring Specialist, Resettlement Specialist may
develop other formats or may change following formats if justified.
In this way, NCC will build up a computerized information system in checking social and
resettlement work. Software will be developed for CMIS. The relevant authority will
designate experienced system expert or analyst and a programmer for this. A wide range
of social issues and resettlement data, acquisition of land, entitlement person (EP)
document including all data and designations, pre and post-obtaining and requisition data
of resettlement will be accommodated in CMIS. Financial background of the concerned
victims and targeted project community will be recorded. Moreover, for the implementation
of an automated Computerized Management Information System (CMIS) for the
accomplishment of stated task and data record, a budget will be needed. The budget draft
would require the following issues for implementing a Computerized Management
Information System CMIS:
1. Purchasing equipment:
_Computers
_A central Server (Network Hub)
_Printers Furniture
2. Transportation to the office
3. Configuring the network
4. Software development
