Introduction 1.1 Background Bangladesh has embarked on an ambitious program for the construction or rehabilitation of its border stations ("land ports"). This ranges from "green field” projects, where there is practically no existing infrastructure, to the rehabilitation/extension of existing facilities (e.g., Sheola and Bhomra and other ports) or the provision of advice on design in the case of privately-operated border facilities. In order to improve key multi-modal transport corridors and networks that would address current transport bottlenecks for trade and help boost national, regional and international trade for Bangladesh, the World Bank is providing a Recipient-Executed grant to the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) to finance economic, financial, technical, environmental and social safeguards studies and technical assistance for: (i) dredging of priority inland waterways; (ii) provision of vessels, navigational aids, and safety equipment and improvement of selected river ports along priority waterways; (iii) construction of a new container terminal and improving operational efficiency at Chittagong Port; (iv) investments in selected equipment and improving operational efficiency at Mongla Port; (v) addressing missing links for road and inland waterways to establish transport connectivity between Chittagong Port, Chittagong Hill Tracts Districts, and NE India; and (vi) improving selected key priority border posts. These interventions are expected to facilitate domestic trade, international trade with third countries, as well as regional trade with neighbouring countries including India, Nepal and Myanmar. 1.2 Purpose of the Studies These studies are to conduct detailed feasibility and design studies for land ports in Bangladesh that border India including: Bhomra and Sheola. The studies include: (i) an evaluation of expected traffic (by traffic type) and evolution, for the initial operation of the border station, after one year, and with an extrapolation for the next five years; (ii) an evaluation of space requirements after drafting the staffing matrix showing the number of positions, hours of duty, accommodation needs in terms of office space, control positions, specialized facilities and housing and staff amenities; (iii) a flow chart for the handling of the different categories of traffic, roles of Customs and other border agencies; (iv) a (block) diagram showing traffic flows and location of the different functions and their position. Space requirements will be calculated according to traffic estimates, with a capacity for expansion should the need arise; (v) detailed design & estimation of different infrastructures and bid documents for the land ports; (vi) take into account the possibility of co-located, juxtaposed and other models of enhanced collaboration for bilateral border management; (vii) Drafting Initial Environmental Evaluations (IEEs), Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), and Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) for the proposed land ports; and (viii) Draft Social Impact Assessments (SIAs), Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF), Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs), and where necessary, Indigenous/Tribal People's Development Plans for the land ports. The studies expects to conduct consultations with broad stakeholders on the proposed works and their environmental and social impacts and management measures, as well as validate the draft designs with key stakeholders, before finalizing the studies. 1.3 Resettlement Policy Framework for the Project This Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) and Environmental Management Framework (EMF), which are presented separately, have been developed by BLPA, to (i) ensure all relevant environmental and social issues are mainstreamed into the design and implementation of the proposed subcomponents or subprojects under this project (land ports Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 10 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port with all the required facilities and the other requirements that would emerge from these) (ii) consider in an integrated manner the potential social and environmental, benefits and impacts of the proposed subprojects and identify measures to avoid, minimize and manage risks and impacts while enhancing benefits, (iii) ensure compliance with national and World Bank requirements, and (iv) guide conducting the detailed ESIAs of the subprojects where required. This RPF presents detailed guidelines for the major activities to be carried out for RSIA (including RAP and ARAP) of specific subprojects that have not yet been fully designed and planned during the project preparation stage, and for which construction will only get underway in year 2 or beyond of project implementation. These guidelines include: (i) Social Screening (identification of possible impacts) (ii) Description and establishment of “Social Baseline” against which impacts of the proposed sub-project would be evaluated after identifying influence area for different sub-projects; (iii) analysis of alternatives; (iv) identification of major sub-project activities during both construction and operational phases; (v) assessment, prediction and evaluation of impacts of project activities on the social baseline; (vi) carrying out public consultations; and (vii) identification of mitigation measures and preparation of impact specific Social Management Plans (SMP) and/or Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) including monitoring requirements. More specifically, the present RPF includes all the interventions under the proposed project. 1.4 Proposed Sheola Land Port The proposed Sheola Land Port will be developed around the existing Sheola Land Customs (LC) Station at Borogram. The Sheola LC station at this location is functional from 1996. Prior to this location, the Sheola LC was located about 3 km north near the Khushiara river, where the export and import activities were conducted through the Kushiara river route. 1.4.1 Location The distance of Sheola Land Customs station from Beanibazar Upazila Parishad is 13km and 45km from Sylhet district Head quarter. The Indian part of it is called Sutarkandi, which is situated under Karimganj district of Assam State. A 16 km pavement road exists from Sheola to Karimganj district. The distance from Sheola (Sutarkandi) to Guwahati, capital of Assam is 341 km. Some part of proposed port site is located in a flood plain. Satellite map of the port area is shown in Figure below. The site is flooded with water during rainy season and during dry season it was used to park the trucks and as temporary storage area for the imported coal. A small rainwater drain (stream) is located adjacent to the port site. The Kusharia river is located about 3 km north of the site; and Muriha Haour (an inland drainage basin) is located 3 km south of Sheola. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 11 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port Figure 1.1: Location of Sheola in Satellite image 1.5 Land Ports – Infrastructure Requirements – Land Requirement Based on the operations required to be performed, a broad evaluation of space requirements will show the organisation and general aspects of the required facility; it is important to define the different functions that will be established, and the space and type of infrastructure they will need. These include: • Parking lots • (If necessary) Trans-loading bays • (If necessary) Additional trans-loading area allowing back-to-back trans-shipping without using the docking area – e.g., in the case of refrigerated cargo • Inspection area • Temporary storage space (i.e., warehouses) for whatever goods cannot be cleared immediately, or are seized by Customs – with a specific area secured in the warehouse for the latter • Detailed inspection sheds for trucks and other vehicles subjected to a secondary check (which should not exceed five percent of all traffic) • A small refrigerated facility for perishable goods • (If necessary) Specific and protected storage for hazardous material • Buffer space to avoid queues building-up before reaching a control position • A sensible thorough-traffic arrangement, with by-pass capacity, to avoid one vehicle blocking all the others upstream All the above infrastructure would require land acquisition. 1.5.1 Overall Estimates of Land Acquisition and R&R This project requires 22.1 acres of land and affects 48 persons. The details are given in the subsequent chapters and annexure. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 12 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port 1.6 Preparation of Resettlement Action Plan 1.6.1 RAP Preparation Methodology This RAP has been prepared using the RPF prepared by Bangladesh Land Ports Authority, Ministry of Shipping 1, Government of Bangladesh. The methodology followed in preparing the RAP consists of the following steps: • Review of the project RPF • Meeting/discussions with various stakeholders including local communities • Review of the policy and regulatory requirements • Reconnaissance field visit and initial scoping and screening of the identified proposed investment sites to determine the key social parameters and aspects that are likely to be impacted by the project activities • Collecting and analysis of baseline social data with the help of secondary literature review • Stakeholder Analysis • Assessment of the potential and likely impacts of the project activities • Census Surveys of PAPs • FGDs • Consultations with the stakeholders including beneficiary/affected communities and developing the consultation process • Prepare a Table of Compensation and Entitlements for all PAPs • Compilation of the present RAP. 1.6.2 Cut-off date for the RAP The cut-off date for application of the RAP will be considered from the date of public disclosure of the project’s safeguards related documents which will include the following; 1. Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) 2. Environment Management Framework (EMF) 3. Social Impact Assessment (SIA) of Sheola Land port 4. Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) of Sheola land port 5. Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) of Sheola land port 6. Environment Management Plan (EMP) of Sheola land port. These documents will be publicly disclosed, along with translations in local languages, on the BLPA website and also made available locally in Sheola to the PAPs and broader groups of stakeholders. 1.6.3 Budget required to implement RAP This proposed project affects 36 Land Owners (22 with structures on land), 4 Tenants and 8 Employees (Total 48 person). The total budget for implementing this RAP works to be BDT 50 Crores. 1 The MoS has appointed Dr. Bokepalli Kanaka Durga Raja, an individual International Social Consultant to help prepare the RPF.

Rapid Social Assessment 2.1 Baseline Description of Project Area The present proposed project is located at Dobhag Union of Beanibazar Upazila; this was previously at Sheola union prior to shifting to Dobhag union. According to Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) Census 2011;  Area of Dobag Union is 6312 acres  Total Population is 22,203 (Males 10,746 Males and 11,457 Females)  Total Households are 3,619  Literacy is 53.9% (Male 55.4% and Female 52.6%)  Family size is 6.1 2.2 Local Economy and Culture During the course of socio-economic survey several group discussions were arranged in and around the proposed project site. People were met in the small groups to discuss general perceptions regarding the project, their apprehensions and expectations and also to understand the social structure, land holding, occupational patterns, and priority development needs of the area. In addition, the Union Parisad chairman was also met to elicit his views regarding the project and its likely impact on the community. The socio- economic features of the project site is given below:  The project area has diversified in character and income level.  Main crops are paddy, pulses and winter vegetables; boro is the main rice varieties. Apart from agriculture and agriculture labor, most locals depend on small businesses.  Around the project site around 75% households depend on small businesses.  Main fruits are Jackfruit, Orange, Litchi, Guava, Satkira, etc.  This Upazila has a number of fisheries, dairies and poultries.  The area is mainly a foreign remittance earning zone. A good number of people are living abroad, especially in Britain. The rich have western living standards; though common people are very conservative in their beliefs.  Social structure of the project affected families (PAFs) as Social assessment revealed that all the land owners affected by the project are conservative Muslims.  During survey time no adult woman was seen due to traditional religious and cultural practice of the locality. The men hold an important position in the society. The men also control in public affairs and administration. Women are not interested to participate in any public affairs 2. 2.2.1 Income and poverty level Around 25% populations are below poverty line 3. Project area population is poor and middle class people. 70% households earn only Tk. 5000 to 10,000 monthly. And they mainly 2 This is explained by the fact that the greater Sylhet region (where the Sheola land port is located) is one of the most social and religiously conservative regions in Bangladesh. Women seldom go out of home and when they do, usually they are accompanied by a male household members or a near relative and covered in veil (Burqa). Probably because of this fact, Sylhet has one of the highest fertility rate/per women in Bangladesh (Unicef 2012-12013). Meeting in public meetings/forum by women is quite uncommon in the entire region. Possibly because of these factors, there were fewer women participants in the consultations. 3 As per Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES), carried out in 2010 (published in 2012-2014), ‘below poverty line’ in Sylhet division is defined as people earning 1,558 taka/month or less. By adjusting it with the annual inflation rate, the monthly income figure in 2016 should stand at 2,214 taka/month or less. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 15 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port depend on agriculture. As business centre near the project area business is the major source of income. During field survey, it was found that 18% of the households in Sheola earn 5,000 or less, which should put them into ‘below poverty line bracket’. Only about 2% of the households have a monthly income of 25,000 taka or more. 2.2.2 Occupation pattern Occupational pattern of the Upazila are as follows. Main sources of income are agriculture (26.39%), non-agricultural laborer (6.80%), industry (0.78%), commerce (12.20%), transport and communication (3.09%), service (4.16%), construction (3.74%), religious service (0.51%), rent and remittance (28.37%) and others 13.96%. (Source: Banglapedia) Most people of the project area depend on more than one source of income. Agriculture, horticulture and other farming activities form the predominant occupation of the locality. Other occupation comprising employment in the following sectors, a) Transport and communication, b) Trade and commerce c) Construction activities d) Animal husbandry e) Fishing Illegal cross border trade (mostly fruits and other agricultural products is also an untold source of income of this locality. A significant number of the respondents also work as daily labors for their livelihood. Some people are engaged in service (both in private as well as the public sector). Animal husbandry, rearing of livestock forms only a subsidiary among the rural people. Livestock consists of different local varieties of poultry, cattle, buffalos and goats. For a period of about five months, from November to March coal trade activities income is one of the source of income of the project area. Some of the affected families depend largely on their income from small provision of shops or commercial establishment selling tea and food items. A few numbers of people are engaged in fishing activities, it is mostly a small scale activity, primarily for self consumption. Some surplus amount is also sold in the local market. 2.2.3 Land Holding Pattern and Tenure System Maximum households are found landless. Around 30% do not even have any homestead land. They live in government land or private land as squatters.20% owns only homestead land. At Dubagh union land holding pattern shows that 50% households have only agriculture land and rest 50% have no land to cultivate except homestead land. Land ownership of the households is 0.40 acres on average, though many are landless. On the other hand, about 50% households have no agricultural land for cultivations. In the Upazila, land holding pattern is almost similar to project site. About 50% household have no land in the Upazila for agriculture and 30% have no homestead land at all. In the area only 20% farmers cultivate their own land and 50% farmers are pure tenant i.e they cultivates other’s land. As a result, a large group of people are vulnerable in respect of income, land and social position. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 16 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port Land holding system area shows that about 50% household have no land for agriculture or they have no homestead land. Land holdings % 0 decimal 30 1 to 50 decimal 35 51 to100 decimal 15 101 to 150 decimal 10 151 to 250 decimal 7 251 to 500 3 100% In the area only 20% farmers cultivate their own land and 50% farmer are pure tenant i.e they cultivates other’s land.

Average literacy 52.52%; male 55.60%, female 49.60%. Educational institutions: college 4, secondary school 34, primary school 134, community school 6, kindergarten 4, madrasa 345. Noted educational institutions: Lauta High School (1871), Panchakandha Hargovinda High School (1917), Khasa Government Primary School (1895), Jaldhup Government Primary School (1909). (Source: Banglapedia); According to BBS (Census, 2011) literacy rate of the project union is Literacy both sexes- 53.9%, male-55.4% and female-52.6%, 2.2.5 Health Facilities and Sanitation In Beanibazar Upazila, people mainly depend on government hospital. Some charity health clinics with limited facilities are available in the Upazila. Normal health facilities are available in the hospital with no specialized doctors and facilities. No major or critical treatment is available there. The local people urged the land port authority should have support or build hospital with modern health facilities. Sources of drinking water isTube-well 79.79%, tap 2.37%, pond 13.28% and others 3.70%. Sanitation 60.46% (urban 74.46% and rural 59.13%) of dwelling households of the upazila use sanitary latrines and 36.08% (urban 24.41% and rural 37.19%) of dwelling houses use non-sanitary latrines; 3.45% of households do not have latrine facilities.' (Source: Banglapedia) Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 17 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port Sanitation facilities in the area are medium. At the project site 60% households are using sanitary latrines, 20% kutcha latrine and 20% household have pucca latrine but not all these are always sanitary. (Source: Public consultation and FGD meeting) 2.2.6 Indigenous People No indigenous people identified as project affected person. So, no need for Indigenous people plan. 2.2.7 Women Headed household and handicapped persons During census and field survey no women headed and handicapped people identified as project affected person. 2.3 Land Price After detailed public consultation it is appeared land price of agriculture land in the project site are a government rate is in the area Tk.30, 000 per decimal (0.01 acre). But market price of the roadside land price is Tk.1, 50,000 to Tk.2, 00,000. For estimating resettlement budget it is estimated on average Tk.1,00,000 per decimal. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 18 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port Chapter 3: Measures to Minimize Resettlement 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Potential Project Social Impacts 3.3 Positive Impact of the project Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 19 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port 3. Measures to Minimize Resettlement 3.1 Introduction The project has no large negative impact identified as there is a small amount land acquisition, land owners, and structure losers have been identified in the project site. During survey and census some livelihood impact has been identified and these will be solved by WB’s OP/BP 4.12 guidelines and legal framework of Bangladesh’s law to regain at least the pre projected condition at the full replacement cost. No indigenous community, squatters, vulnerable has been identified as affected. In the following paragraph, project’s impacts and probable mitigation measures has been presented. 3.2 Potential Project Social Impacts Future potential of the project site is quite prospective. Urbanization, employment generation in the transport sector is expected by the project site. After development of the Sheola land port in new site with new facilities, cross border mutual cooperation may be intensified both socially and economically. Sylhet region is basically remittance earning area. If congenial social relation prevails, then tourism, education, health service exchange may be increased resulting socio- economic development of the citizens of both the countries. And also road infrastructure will be developed due to the project. It is expected new investment will be available in the area in near future. Major impact of the project is that the land especially the agriculture land will be reduced for the villagers by the project. On the other hand every year cropland are reducing due to new infrastructure development and new housing structure also. This is a burning question that loss of agriculture land is the major impact, but though the fact the proposed project site is almost fallow and maximum land is being used as coal depot for the villagers. As in the project site coal depot, land owners rent the land at the rate of Tk. 8,000 per decimal (8 lacs per acre) per year. So, new initiative should be needed for livelihood restoration for the affected household. It is possible by initiating pragmatic and timely decision by the project authority. It will be helpful for port authority and affected community also. During construction of land port some resettlement issues are available. Loss of livelihood and land loss are the main resettlement impact. Land acquisition process had not started till today. Deputy Commissioner is legally responsible for land acquisition on behalf of requiring body (BLPA). But at present land price has increased substantially and due to changed situation, PAPs are anxious about getting proper compensation in case of acquisition. In this context they suggested resettlement is must for acquisition land. It is suggested by PAP, that the port authority should play active role in development of the area and to improve the socio economic condition of the community. In addition to that they want possible job for the local youth in the project construction work. In regaining income of the affected persons, port authority should have program. For the greater interest of the country project is implemented but owner of the land of the acquired land should also be rehabilitated. Though Bangladesh’s laws have no mandatory provision of resettlement but due to donor involvement and present norms, affected land owners, livelihood losers, vulnerable, irrespective of titled and non titled land owners and income losers will get extra benefit from the project at the rate of full replacement cost for re-owning the lost land. Moreover, all sorts of support in regaining income restoration from the project are to be done. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 20 of 88 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port 3.3 Positive Impact of the project In the following table probable positive impact of the proposed land has been presented. But for the details information of positive impacts further investigation is essential.

The proceedings are attached. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 29 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port Chapter 6: Entitlement Framework 6.1 Land Acquisition and Compensation Policy Matrix 6.2 Compensation Mechanism 6.3 Relocation and Income Restoration Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 30 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port 6. Entitlement Framework 6.1 Land Acquisition and Compensation Policy Matrix The Resettlement Matrix presented in the annex identified income or livelihood loss and the compensation payments are presented. The Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) and Property Valuation Advisory Committee (PVAC) will solve any future problems and modifications of relevant issues if needed. During SES no CPR or squatters were found affected. The entitlement matrix (see next page) presented is on the basis of general national practice as per the RPF. 6.2 Compensation Mechanism As per laws of Bangladesh, Deputy Commissioner of the concerned district deals with the land acquisition and pays the compensation of acquisition and requisition of land, structure and tree value. Deputy Commissioner (DC) is empowered to permanently acquire or temporarily require of property and eligible to compensate to the Project Affected Person (PAP). DC assesses the level of compensation, taking into consideration factors such as: land transactions in the locality over the past 12 months. The amendments to the ARIPO in 1993 increased the amount of the premium for compulsory acquisition from 25 to 50% on the assessed value of the property. The 1994 amendment provides provision for payment of crop compensation to tenants. The ARIPO does not cover compensation for loss of wage income; it also does not cover losses of non-titled persons (Sharecropper, squatters, encroachers, etc.) aside from crop losses to tenants. More importantly, compensation as per ARIPO often does not represent the market price of land and other properties. However, as per the WB OP 4.12 the affected persons are entitled to get compensation at the rate of full replacement cost and income restoration grant support training to restore PAPs position at least up to the pre projected condition. Consequently, while the PAPs will get compensation at first from DC’s LA section by submitting all land related documents, they will get a top-up amount as additional payment for replacing land, stamp duty and additional cost from Resettlement unit (RU) from BLPA with support of an NGO appointed as implemented agency for all sub projects. The Property valuation committee (PVAC) comprising of five members; with two from affected persons, one local government representative, one NGO representative and one from BLPA will decide on the exact market price prior to determining the top-up payment amount for which a land market survey will be carried out. PVAC will also work with the Grievance redress committee (GRC) in case if any grievance arises. A joint verification team comprising of the DC, NGO and BLPA will make an inventory of loss assets prior to construction. In all cases, all PAPs will be compensated regardless of title ownership. In case of acquisition, DC will pay the compensation as per law. RU - BLPA will help to get the compensation and will ensure proper compensation of crops and land. Also RU will pay additional grant through NGO. PVAC and GRC committee will supervise and monitor the issues and will safeguard the interest of PAPS. Identified PAPs below poverty line will get training from RU through NGO. 6.3 Relocation and Income Restoration There will temporary relocation of some businesses during the project implementation which would cause shifting of some of the businesses. Following the Entitlement Matrix of the RPF, due compensation as business income loss grant is estimated in the budget.

The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) at BLPA will be the first level contact in this regard with an aim to respond to queries or clarifications about the project, resolve problems with implementation and addressing complaints and grievances. The GRM will focus on corrective actions that can be implemented quickly and at a relatively low cost to resolve identified implementation concerns before they escalate to the point of harm or conflict. GRM will serve as a channel for early warning, helping to target supervision to where it is most needed and identify systemic issues. 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: • request for information, comment or suggestion, e.g., request for clarification as to the delay in reimbursing expenses of participants in a given training event; • violation of rights or non-performance of obligations, e.g., complaint by consultant or firm whose contract is suspended as a result of presumed poor performance or non- delivery of agreed-upon outputs; • grievances or offenses involving a violation of law, e.g., allegations of corruption; and Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 41 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port • complaints against project staff, members of project committees, consultants, and sub-contractors involved in project implementation GRM will be implemented in two phases: 1) Phase 1 to support safeguards implementation, 2) Phase two of GRM will cover all components and overall project implementation. A formal grievance redress process for phase two will be outlined in the project’s operational manual and a protocol will be set up and distributed to project staff and implementers. The project level protocol will build on existing GRM system developed by BLPA and experience of the initial GRM protocol which supports implementation of the safeguards explained below. The GRM will be IT based supported by toll free helpline. The Project Implementing Unit (PIU) will have a dedicated person who can oversee the preparation of the guidelines and rollout of the project GRM. The Secretary of BLPA will be responsible for overseeing the overall GRM. 7.3.1 Scope of GRM At the initial stage of the Sheola land port, BLPA will focus on establishing protocol and procedures for GRM related to safeguards as required per Bank policies. Bank-financed projects that trigger the OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement require projects to establish a GRM in order to collect grievances related to the resettlement process which applies to this project. The scope of such GRM is relatively narrow, as it only solicits complaints from project beneficiaries that are affected by project activities and covered by dedicated Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) thus the project protocol will be extended and expanded later to cover all project related grievances throughout project cycle. In phase two, the project-level GRM will not only aim to address social but also environmental, financial management, procurement and other issues and will build on grievance system practices set up to meet requirements of OP 4.12. It will also build on existing informal and traditional structures of grievance redress—such as village committees and local user groups involved in delivery of the project and may be a cost-effective and a more accessible approach to grievance redress. However, its impartiality would need to be carefully examined before relying on traditional systems. Given that poor and marginalized communities often face the most obstacles in accessing and using GRMs, throughout the design process special attention must be given to integrating design features that make GRMs participatory and socially inclusive. All though the project’s duration, any actions/decisions agreed between the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) and the aggrieved PAP will be binding to BLPA as implementing agency. 7.3.2 Phase One - GRM under Safeguard Issues In the first phase of the GRM, the proposed GRM will build on existing BLPA GRM system and will set up a Toll Free number to register complaints. This toll free number will be set up and disclosed to the PAPs and other stakeholders by the time of disclosure to the public of the project’s safeguards related documents as mentioned in the section 1.6.2 which will also include Bangla translations alongside the English versions. BLPA will ensure the following steps before the disclosure and the making the toll-free phone line available to the public: A. List of front line staff at the PIU with clear roles and responsibilities and the contact details. This is required to forward the complaint to the concerned official responsible for the task that may generate complaint and will be responsible for resolving too. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 42 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port B. Outsource only the management of the system “receiving, registering, forwarding and closing the grievance”. C. Grievance will be addressed by the concerned person responsible for the task. D. During this phase the GRM would cover all grievances apart from the resettlement related issues. Given below is the suggested work-flow: • The project’s safeguards documents are translated into Bangla and together with the English versions are disclosed to the wider public and the PAPs through BLPA website and appropriate media at local level (please see, the section 9.4 under ‘information disclosure). This communications strategy is aimed to reach out in particular to poor and marginalized groups in a manner that is accessible and understandable to and them. • Receive Complaint through the toll free number. • Register Case no by issuing a complaint number to the complainant; Date and channel of receipt; Name of complainant; Gender, Father or husband, Complete address, • Nature of compliant – list of options (loss of land/property or entitlements), • Forward the compliant to the concerned person immediately via SMS. • Within five days complain examined and resolved and reported on line. • If not resolved within five days, SMS alert is sent out by the system to senior management. • Complaint investigated and resolved within seven days from the date of receiving the complaint. • Confirmation received from complainant on grievance redress and ticket number closed. • Monthly reports to be generated from the system that provides feedback to improve the process of implementation of RPF. Option for the complainant to move to the court is available under the existing laws 7.3.3 Phase Two – Establishment of Implementation Arrangements for Setting up Project Level GRM This phase will start along with the start of civil works/ contracts. Experience from the phase one of GRM implemented to support social and environment safeguards will be used to extend the protocol and inform the design of project wide GRM. The project PIU will need to identify groups of users that are likely to use the GRM and assess the resources—human, financial, and technological that are available (and required) for the GRM to function effectively while establishing the protocol to support all project components and implementation. PIU will need to develop standard operating procedures and flowcharts to detail how the grievance redress process will unfold within the project’s operating structures and how it will be monitored and reported on. The overall process will be overseen by BLPA Chairman. More specifically;/ • Assign a dedicated GRM officer at the PIU (e.g. drafting operating procedures, guidelines and manual, and stand-alone information for GRM staff and users); and assign grievance redress responsibilities and train staff at the local level to handle grievances • Raise awareness of the availability of the GRM through project-related events and by posting information about the GRM in public locations / project sites( e.g. via project boards) • Accept grievances through a variety of locally-appropriate channels (e.g., in-person, phone – set up toll free number, email); Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 43 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port • Register all grievances (e.g., ensure that all complaints lodged through local authorities are logged and tracked, and that data on resolutions is made public) • Follow a clear and transparent procedure of complaint investigation (e.g., field visits, inspection of contractors and/or local project implementation teams, discussion with relevant service providers, etc.) • Take a remedial action within a specified amount of days • Monitor and evaluate grievance-related data At this, BLPA will set up a project level GRC at Sheola land port which will be comprised of the following members (number of person in each criteria are given in brackets): - Concerned UP chairman / members (1) - NGO representative (1) - BLPA representative of RU/ concerned custom office (1) - Affected person’s representative (2) The role and responsibility of members are given below: Concerned UP chairman – The concerned UP chairman will collaborate the work of other representatives altogether in a single frame. He will discuss about the sustainable improvement of the affected people by taking necessary steps towards the development path. Being a known face to the people of the area, his involvement will be more accountable and people can trust on his judgment if he has a good reputation in the area. As a politically powerful person, he can take actions for making quick judgments or stop illegal power play. NGO representative – The NGO representative will be helping the affected people by sanctioning funds for the development of the project implement area. He /She can make communication strategy to reach out to the poor and marginalized groups. In this way he can take care of them properly. He is expected to have more knowledge due to his experience I different fields and so he can think from different perspectives and can help people to make a better choice. BLPA representative of RU – BLPA representative of RU can take care of the security around the port area .He can also help the affected people by given resettlement through the relocation of the houses. As we know, security is a big issue for the people who are affected because they are always having a chance of danger due to their changed circumstances. This person's presence can provide a sense of security and assurance in people's mind. Affected persons’ representative- The representatives of the affected areas will do face to face communication with the affected persons of the community. There will be one male and one female representatives of the affected persons. This gender based strategy for selecting the representatives both female and male, will be a great change maker for improving any vulnerable situation. By this way the affected females can talk about their problems freely with the female representative. They may not feel to talk about their personal issues with a male who is unknown or an acquaintance to them. This is why the need of a female representative is a must. On the other hand, the affected males can share any internal and external problem of the community with the male representative. They can even have problems of their own which they can share with this particular representative person. All these people working together can make the process effective and efficient. Better help can be provided and lesser hectic situation can be ensured. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 44 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port 7.3.4 Legal Options to Aggrieved Parties The aggrieved parties will have two kinds of options for addressing their grievances. One is the grievance redress mechanism incorporate in this framework as above. The other is the general legal environment consisting of court of law to address their grievances. These options will be disclosed to the communities during the public consultation process. 7.3.5 Grievance Redress Service of The World Bank In addition to seeking to resolve their grievances through the GRM established at the government level, “communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank (WB) supported project such as this operation may also submit complaints to the Grievance Redress Service (GRS) established by the World Bank. The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address project-related concerns. Project affected communities and individuals may also submit their complaint to the WB’s independent Inspection Panel, after having brought the complaint to the World Bank's attention through its GRS. Information on how to submit complaints to the World Bank’s Grievance Redress Service is available at http://www.worldbank.org/GRS. Information on how to submit complaints to the World Bank Inspection Panel is available at www.inspectionpanel.org. 7.3.6 The role and responsibility of NGO Assisting in RAP implementation NGO can be a great help for the resettlement action plan. They can assist by doing resettlement for the affected people and planting more trees in 22.10 acre affected land. In Grievance redress management In phase one of GRM • NGOs will help the grievance redress management for setting up the Toll Free Number to register complaints which will be a great help to develop the backup system. • NGOs can do outsourcing of GRM through receiving, registering, forwarding and closing the grievance through booklets. • NGOs will ensure to resolve resettlement related issues which can be a great help for the GRM. In Phase Two of GRM • NGOs will publish posters which will help to raise awareness by disseminating information about the GRM in public location. • NGOs will prepare communication strategy about the GRM which can reach out to the poor and marginalized groups. • NGOs will prepare a clear and transparent procedure of the complaint investigation. Payment of Compensation to the PAPs • NGOs will help to restore the livelihood of the affected people by initiating some income generating sources. • NGOs will give cash to the affected people for relocating their houses. • NGOs will provide cash assistance to the affected people thorough the bank bills. • NGOs will provide handy craft and others job opportunities to the vulnerable women of that project area. Yooshin-Vitti JV Page 45 Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Sheola Land Port Assist the PAPs in claiming their compensation • NGOs will help to raise the voices of the affected people who have lost their houses and shops. Capacity Building Training • NGOs will help to arrange the national and international trainings on social assessment, social management and RAP implementation. • NGOs will contribute to the detailed Capacity Enhancement Needs Assessment.
