Project in Arua Municipality (for Project Activities Land and Access Roads).
07th November, 2011.
__________________________________________________________________________

The Municipal Solid Waste Composting (MSWC) for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
was initiated in Uganda in 2005 as a project under the National Environment Management
Authority (NEMA) with financial and technical support from both NEMA and the World
Bank under the Environment Management and Capacity Building Project-II (EMCBP-11). The
first phase involved 9 Municipal/Town Councils of Kabale, Mbarara, Kasese, Fort-Portal,
Mukono, Jinja, Mbale, Soroti and Lira. The second phase is to bring on board Eight (8)
additional Urban Councils of Gulu, Arua, Tororo, Busia, Entebbe, Mityana, Masindi and
Hoima. The Municipal Council was responsible for acquiring the land where the composting
plant was constructed and availed utilities such as power and water.

The purpose of the Abbreviated Resettlement Plans (ARAPs) is to record and make publicly
available the information related to the acquisition of the land for the Environment
Management and Capacity Building Project-II (EMCBP-II) composting component to ensure
compliance with Operational Policy, OP 4.12 on the Involuntary Resettlement.

Copies of the corresponding Environmental Impact Assessments (E.I.As) and other
information are available with the office of the Town Clerk of the above mentioned
Municipality. However, copies are also available in the NEMA library (NEMA House on plot
17/19/21 Jinja Road, Kampala) and NEMA Website
(http://nemaug.org/Clean_development_mechanism.php).

Below is a tabulation of location of the composting site and the land details in the
