The APURMS project has two main components: 4 State Level and Local Level Reform + Urban Infrastructure Investments 1.2 The Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework (SEAMF) is intended to be used during the project to ensure that the urban investment sub-projects being considered for financing are socially and environmentally sound and sustainable. The SEAMF tries to ensure that there is sub-project compliance with national and state regulatory policies and laws, and also with World Bank safeguard policies throughout the sub-project cycle. The framework and plans have been prepared in such a way that they are applicable to all municipal sub-projects as a whole and to the sectoral or sub-sectoral parts. 1.3 The SEAMF includes: 4 Information on Policy, Legal and Administrative requirements, and their implications for sub-projects; 4 Institutional arrangements, capacity building plan and information & consultation strategy for effective planning, implementation and monitoring of sub-projects 4 A social and environmental screening and categorization framework for sub- projects to identify the nature of social and environmental analysis and planning required for each sub-project 4 Guidance for the social and environmental assessments of sub-projects, and for the formulation of social and environment management and monitoring plans (that include mitigation measures for possible negative impacts as well as enhancement measures for positive impacts) 4 Social and environmental safeguard frameworks that need to be considered in the sub-project preparation and implementation 1.4 The SEAMF has been developed through close interactions with municipal staff and state officials at various levels, and inputs have been added from the public consultations conducted for this purpose. 1.2 POLICIES AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 1.5 The policies, legal provisions and the administrative frameworks provide the context within which the urban development projects need to be implemented. Table A gives the policies, legal acts and programmes that form the framework within which both social and environmental components of the proposed project APURMSP would be 1 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework implemented. Detailed analysis of these Acts, Policies and Programmes are given as Annexure - I and as Annexure - II.

The primary institutions in a typical project cycle identified are Municipal Council (MC), Urban Local Bodies (ULB), Commissionerate & Directorate of Municipal Administration (CDMA), Andhra Pradesh Urban Finance Infrastructure Development Corporation (APUFIDC), Public Health & Engineering 2 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework Department (PHED), Directorate of Town & Country Planning (DTCP) and the Urban Development Authorities (UDA). The support institutions are Revenue Department (RD), District Collector (DC), Community Based Organizations (CBO), Non- Governmental Organizations (NGO) etc., and the project specific institutions can be the Roads and Buildings Department (R&B) in case of roads sub-projects, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) in case of water supply sub-projects, Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOMS) and Andhra Pradesh Transmission Corporation Limited (AP TRANSCO) for electricity sub-projects, Medical and Health Department (MHD) for health related sub-projects etc. Institutions like the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB) may involve in the planning and execution of the projects on the request of the municipality. Depending upon the type of project, the ULBs will seek specialist and technical support from these departments and elsewhere for planning and implementing sub-projects. 1.7 The APURMS Project would be implemented in the State by the Department of Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) through the CDMA and APUFIDC. 1.8 The CDMA, in its capacity as the authority in charge of ULBs, would provide general institutional and administrative support to all ULBs. A Municipal Strengthening Unit (MSU) would be set up at CDMA to assist ULBs to undertake infrastructure sub- projects under APURMS Project, monitor their implementation and provide institutional support, in the form of capacity building and reforms, to ULBs and also assist them. 1.9 The APUFIDC would be the nodal agency responsible for financing and appraising the sub-projects under APURMSP. It will have three project windows - the project development division for appraisal of sub-projects, the investment division for financing the sub-projects and the institutional development division for sub-project specific institutional development. 1.10 At the field level the concerned ULBs would play an important role in implementation of the project. The ULBs would be responsible for designing, implementing and managing the sub-projects. They will form an Environment and Social Management Committees to carry out the necessary social and environmental functions in the sub-project areas. 1.11 The Social and Environmental needs of the APURMS Project would be managed at different levels. At the state level, the MSU of CDMA would enable ULBs to prepare socially and environmentally sound project proposals and help build required skills through a concerted capacity building programme. The S&E manager working under the institutional development division in APUFIDC would ensure that appraised sub-projects are socially and environmentally sound, apart from providing advisory services to ULBs. At the local level, the ESMCs would be vested with powers to monitor and manage S&E issues during sub-project implementation. 3 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 1.12 The organizational structure at the ULB is given in the figure below. Each ULB will consist of the implementation arrangements and the ESMC. Municipal Commissioner, Municipal Engineer and S&E Officer (senior officer designated by the Municipal Commissioner), supported by section heads at the ULB, and representatives from 'j;-!7 If ' ' K r frOs/om m u n [ ty INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMdENTS AT THE ULB .?< - NGOs/community gv will form the primary ESMC sioner - ~Commissioner implementing Municp . urial Engineer arrangements at the S&E Officer (Design3tedl ULB and the < - Town Planning Otficer ULB and the ki~~~~~~~~~~~~~~edic-al and Health Officer ESMC will be I NGOCommuniry Representatives responsible for |tI:lun,cipal Engneer Revenue Officer overlooking social and environmental activities S&E Officer implemented under each sub-project in the ULB. For Town Planning Revenue Healin and EnainGerina specific Wing Wing |S3niati0n Wing Wing environmental issues, the Regional Officer of APPCB may be consulted. 1.13 The S&E officer, working under the Municipal Engineer, would ensure the implementation of SMP/TDP/EMP at sub-project level through the existing machinery by entrusting the execution of separate sectoral components of the SMP to the concerned line departments. The responsibilities for handling social issues would be coordinated with the Town Planning and the Revenue Wings as they are more acquainted with issues such as land acquisition, measurements, structural assessments etc. Similarly the S&E Officer will coordinate with the other Engineering department officials, the Medical and Health Officials and environmental consultants on environmental issues such as solid waste management, sanitation etc. He shall be responsible for the detailed environmental assessment/status report for the sub-projects, as per the environmental categorization of sub-projects. 1.14 The role and the functions of the ESMC would include, but not be limited to, the following: + Ensuring social and environmental compliance in sub-project preparation D Coordinating acquisition of land and undertaking surveys 4 Overseeing preparation of SMPs/EMPs through internal sources and/or external consultants 4 Social/Environmental Impact Assessments 4 Implementation of SMPs/EMPs + Approval of SMPs if done through external consultants 4 Undertaking/coordinating construction of resettlement colonies 4 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforris and Municipal Services Project * Social and Environmental Assessment Management Frarnework * Coordinating with NGOs in SMP/EMP implementation and various agencies involved 4 Grievance redressal 4 Organize training programmes for identified PAPs through the Government agencies/ NGOs / other sources 1.4 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM 1.15 It is expected that through a participatory process, acceptance of the sub-projects and grievances can be minimized. However, it is necessary to establish an effective grievance redressal mechanism to address complaints/grievances related to social & environmental issues that may arise. The figure given alongside indicates the grievance redressal mechanism for this purpose. 1.16 The affected R S CM persons can register Courts their G grievances E__MC_____B_-__ at the complaint Redressal cell resolvedy S& Offi ( LB) established and State at the ULB. _ Level) The (ULB) Complaint Gr'v.cA Cell would G forward the grievance to the S&E officer for redressal. The Complaint Cell will also act as a Public Information Centre, where the grievances of the community will be registered and other information with regard to the project, the sub-projects, social and environmental safeguards will be provided. The grievances can pertain to any social and/or environmental issues triggered by sub-projects under the APUJRMS Project. A 'District Urban Grievance Redressal Organization' will be established for giving independent advice to the concerned Municipal Commissioner for redressing the grievances. This body will consist of 4 to5 eminent citizens in the District and are from diverse backgrounds such as, education, Health and Sanitation, Urban Infrastructure, civic affairs, etc. In an advisory capacity, it will facilitate and suggest suitable action to redress the grievances of the community/people. At the state level a 'State Urban Grievance Redressal Organization' will be established along similar lines. The Complaint Cell would forward the grievance to the S&E officer for redressal. If the S&E officer cannot redress the grievance within a specified time period, the grievance would be forwarded to the ESMC and further to the District Urban Grievance Redressal Body constituted at the district level. The grievances which cannot be redressed at the district level would be referred to the State Urban Grievance Redressal Body. Each of these authorities can be approached directly for grievance redressal by the aggrieved person/party. 5 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Muniicipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framnework SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY- BUILDING ACTION PLAN (SECAP) 2.1 It is imperative to build the capacities of an institution to enable a well-planned and efficient set of arrangements with functionaries equipped with required skills for achievement of desired goals. In the present context, while implementing sub-projects in the urban areas the Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) may encounter various problems in planning, implementing and managing social and environmental issues, including the need to mitigate and manage adverse impacts. The PIAs need to build capacities to address the issues that arise in a typical project cycle. 2.1 SOCIAL SECTION 2.2 Capacities for managing social tasks need to be built in two ways. Firstly, capacities should be built considering the overall institutional development in addressing social issues and secondly, sub-project specific capacities that are useful in implementation of the sub-project. Accordingly, an institutional capacity development strategy and project specific capacity plan has been developed which specifically identifies the shortcomings in the capacities at different levels and suggests relevant measures to overcome them. 2.1.1 INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING STRATEGY 2.3 The shortcomings in the capacities of the institutions have been identified and accordingly the following appropriate measures and training programmes are suggested for capacity enhancement. 2.1.1.1 KNOWLEDGE ON POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 2.4 A comprehensive document highlighting the roles and responsibilities of various functionaries, laws and legislations, constitutional provisions, policies of state and central Governments, World Bank policies etc., needs to be prepared by the DMA. It has to be prepared in crisp and easy language for better understanding, and possibly circulation in both in English and Telugu. Staff will be able to handle grievances and conflicts with competence with the help of such reference documents. In addition to this, special steps to devise training modules that can be used to train and test the competence of the functionaries at the municipality level on the legal, policy and administrative framework need to be designed. Training programmes would help the municipal functionaries in understanding the framework and help in enhancing their capacity. 2.1.1.2 TRAINING 2.5 Training is an important component for developing capacities. Appropriate and timely training to the officials with regard to various issues can bring a positive change in the functioning of the staff. Apart from training in generic areas such as human resource 6 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services . Social ancl Environmental Assessment Management Framework management, information management, government functionaries require training in handling certain specialized tasks pertaining to social issues as given under. For Project Managers/State Level Functionaries 2.6 Training on Social Assessment. Appraisal and Management: Staff at the state level, either at MSU (CDMA) or at APUFIDC would require capacity building inputs to help them understand the social risks attached to different sub-projects and the appropriate R&R measures that can be taken to mitigate adverse impacts on the community. In addition, they would require training to equip them with skills they can use to appraise sub-projects on key social criteria and ensure that they are socially sound. For Municipal Staff 2.7 Training on consultations and surveys is important for municipal staff to enable them to get acquainted with processes linked to community participation, community mobilization, census surveys, baseline surveys, etc. Training on consultation processes for specific projects and exposure to various participatory methods of consultation can be imparted by consultants. The training should concentrate on inducing participation and transparency in sub-project implementation. It should also stress on the type of information to be generated through the surveys, especially on the socio-economic information and other related issues. Steps such as attaching municipal functionaries to consultants and NGOs while undertaking surveys can help the municipal staff in developing their capacities. Training can also be imparted to NGOs that are involved in the sub-project. This training would help the staff to be in close contact with the community as well as all the stakeholders involved. 2.8 Training on Social Assessment of Sub-projects: to enable the municipal staff to understand the social risks attached to different sub-projects and the appropriate measures that can be taken to mitigate adverse impacts on the community. This would not only enable them to prepare socially sound sub-projects but also help them put in place strong monitoring and management plans. 2.9 Training on Resettlement and Rehabilitation is another very essential requirement for the municipal staff in addressing social issues. Staff in the ULBs need to build capacity in this regard. This could include information on related laws and legislations, safeguard policies, methods of implementation, valuation of assets, grievance redressal, preparation and implementation of Social Management Plan (SMP)/ Tribal Development Plan (TDP), social impacts etc., that may be encountered in a typical urban infrastructure sub-projects. Functionaries who are especially involved in planning and drafting sub- projects at the ULBs should undergo this training as they play a primary role in implementing R&R provisions under the project. 7 Andhra Praclesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services t r Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 2.1.1.3 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION 2.10 Designing proper technical plans for urban sub-projects keeping in mind the social risks is an essential task. Presently, for various technical works, municipalities often take the help of external consultants. With the consultants operating independently, the processes are rarely shared through adequate knowledge/capacity transfer. It is important to facilitate capacity building by (a) in-house training of staff (b) recruitment of technical staff on contract basis and (b) through better knowledge transfer from external consultants by linking municipal staff to the consultants. 2.1.1.4 COMMUNICATION STRATEGY 2.11 A well-developed communication strategy needs to be in place to realize better results in implementing the projects. The concerned municipalities have to develop and effectively implement their own consultation and communication strategy. Successful implementation of sub-project would depend, to a large extent, on the ability to maintain close contact with the community in the sub-project area. For this purpose ULBs need to develop consultation plans along with the help of an NGO/community. Such a communication strategy would help in better communication, clearer understanding of social problems, better service delivery, easier conflict resolution and grievance redressal. Training modules may be developed to help ULBs draft and implement appropriate consultation strategies. 2.1.1.5 DEVELOPING THE CAPACITIES OF THE COMMUNITY 2.12 Community can act as partners in the programmes and policies of the government and help in realizing the project objectives to an optimum capacity. Developing their capacities becomes vital for achieving the sub-project objectives and the ULBs can develop its capacities through timely identification of community groups as partners in sub-project implementation. Self-help groups, Citizens Groups, Neighbourhood Action Committees, DWCUA etc., can be trained under the project with specific plans to include them in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the project. Regular meeting with these groups can be organized to stay informed about the requirements of the people. The ULBs can also design specific training programmes directed towards developing their entrepreneurial ability and skill development. 2.1.1.6 OTHER MEASURES FOR CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT 2.13 Various special programmes can be undertaken by the ULBs to train their staff and help in developing their capacities. This could include: 4 Exposure field visits and tours to best practice sites in the state can be undertaken from time to time to expose the municipal staff to newer concepts in urban project management through experience learning. * Plans to coordinate and work with the public representatives would help the municipal officials in understanding and coordinating with the political representatives and devising a united approach in addressing social problems. 8 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforrns and Municipal Services Project A Social and Environmental Assessment Managemerit Framnework 4 Training programmes in skill development, attitudinal and personality development can also help the officials in developing responsibility and better higher standards of work culture. 4 Initiation of appropriate learning mechanisms like lecture-based training, on-the- job mentoring, etc., can also help in developing the capacities of the municipal administration. 2.1.2 STEPS FOR DEVELOPING SUB-PROJECT SPECIFIC CAPACITIES Enhancing participation skills Participation of all stakeholders in sub-projects is an important social objective. > At all stages of sub-project cycle > For addressing social and R&R issues related to sub-projects All functionaries in municipal administration from senior to municipality level should be informed and sensitized to recognize the efficacy of participatory approaches. Identifying stakeholders There are various stakeholders involved in the sub-project cycle. The capacity building should bring coordination among these stakeholders to address implementation and management issues. The capacities of following stakeholders need. to be built. > The functionaries who belong to municipal administration and other institutions and who would be involved in the project as S&E officers, project managers and field staff to interact with the PAPs and beneficiaries. > Project Affected Persons, and > The NGOs/community organisations who have role in supporting the PIA and the PAPs to achieve the project goals Developing capacities of project implementing agency Not all officials in the PIA have innate capacities to address social and R&R issues. To develop these capacities the PIA should consider the following: > Seek participation and respond to participatory endeavors of PAPs. > A clear structure of institutional arrangements and linkages with R&R functions > Institutionalizing participatory process for consultations > Regular training programmes to staff of the PIA and other key stakeholders to sensitize them on R&R activities > Daily interaction with the community at the field > Special focus on vulnerable groups like women, aged, Schedules Castes, Scheduled Tribes and economically weaker sections of the society. Understand the risks to these vulnerable groups through participation techniques like FGDs, Transect Walks, Social and Resource mapping etc > Developing inter-departmental coordination and intra-departmental coordination > Coordination and collaborative functioning with external departments and organizations Developing the capacities of the community To address social problems with expertise and ease, the capacities of the PAPs should be utilized at various stages of the sub-project. Some of the steps that need to be considered are as follows: > PIA should consider making the PAPs potential partners in designing, planning, implementing and monitoring sub- projects > Mobilizing the PAPs to participate through interactive sessions > Developing community-based organizations for interaction between PIA and PAPs > Exposing the PAPs and beneficiaries to participation helps the PIA in the following. 1. To minimize resistance through information sharing 2. Seeking stakeholders' view on intended interventions 3. To form partnerships 4. Better R&R implementation > Identify the skills of the PAPs and help them in income generation activities in cases of displacement or loss of livelihood. > Training the PAPs to help the PIA in implementing R&R provisions, conducting negotiations and managing conflicts. Capacity building through Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) The NGOs/community organizations can play an important role while implementing the sub-projects and in addressing R&R and social issues. Some of the aspects that need to be examined in this direction are as follows. > PlAs should identify credible NGOs, which have long record of working with the local communities > PIA should explore possibilities wherever needed to see if Community Organizations can substitute the role of NGOs > The NGOs/community organizations can help the PIA in various ways, namely: 1. They act as mediators to facilitate initial contact and dialogue between the PlAs and PAPs 2. They supplement the skills and capacity of the PIA all along the sub-project cycle 3. They act as coordinators in planning and implementation R&R plans 4. They help in building capacity of the PIA and PAPs through their experience and knowledge 5. Help coordinating and organizing the community groups 6. They also help as arbitrators in dispute resolving between PIA and PAPs 9 Andhra Pradesh Urbani Reforrns and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 2.1.3 MEETING NEEDS FOR ADDITIONAL EXPERTISE 2.14 Building the social and environmental capacities of municipal officials in ULBs will take time. For the effective assessment, planning and implementation of sub- projects, the ULBs will be advised to take the help of external consultants according to their requirements. The social and environmental consultants recruited to help the ULBs would be from among environmental specialists, urban planners, social planners and sociologists, civil engineers/architects, civil supervisors etc. 2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SECTION 2.15 Capacities for the environmental components need to be built across different institutions that are involved at different stages in the sub-project cycle. 2.16 The prime institution at the implementation stage of the project is the ULB. The ULBs require improvements in various environmental skills and capacities for the effective implementation of sub-projects. This is detailed below. * Ensure environmental compliance for sub-projects finalized for investments: Sub- projects in every town would be identified through the CMAPP process - a consultative process initiated by respective municipalities. This involves consultation with the key stakeholders on the town wide infrastructure problems and needs, with particular emphasis on slum development. The municipal officials need to be informed, in greater measure, about the potential adverse environmental impacts of sub-projects and measures that can mitigate such impacts. * Collection of primary and secondary data for environmental screening/assessments: The ULB needs to collect the necessary primary and secondary data for the environmental screening and, if required, for the detailed/limited environmental assessment. This requires identification of areas of information, methods for gathering data, legal/regulatory issues, etc. * Environmental screening and assessment: The identified sub project investments by the ULB or the sub project investment proposals by any other external agency has to undergo environmental screening to assess the intensity of the negative environmental impacts. To enable the ULB screen sub-projects easily, a list of sub-projects categorized on the basis of intensity of environmental impacts has been provided in this document (Annexure - III). Sub-projects categorized as EA would need to undergo a detailed environmental assessment and for those categorized as EB, a status report along with an EMP must be prepared. The ULB must build capacity to either undertake this activity or outsource it. * Implement sub-project specific environmental management and monitoring plans: To mitigate the negative environmental impacts, general environmental 10 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework management and Monitoring plan has been prepared, for all sub-project investments (Annexure - IV). The ULB should take the responsibility of preparing sub-project specific environmental management and monitoring plans, referring to the annexure provided. The implementation of these mitigation measures needs diversified capacities. Hence the PIA has to build the required capacities for its implementation. Necessary capacity building through handholding support and training will be provided to the ULBs for this purpose. * Organizing and recording public consultations at the sub-project level: As per the Infornation and Consultation Strategy, the ULB needs to conduct and organize public consultations at different stages of sub-project implementation. The suggestions and views of the public are essential and useful in the identification, design, implementation, and monitoring, and operational phases of the investment in addition to proper grievance redressal. * Capacity enhancement of the Social and Environmental Management Committee (ESMC): The proposed social and Environmental Management Committees, at the level of the ULB, which is supposed to make decisions in finalizing the sub- project investments, ensure implementation of the Environmental Management Plan, enable redressal of grievances, etc., would require capacity enhancement to undertake such tasks. 2.17 Staff at the state level, either at MSU (CDMA) or at APUFIDC would require capacity building inputs to help them understand the environmental risks attached to different sub-projects and the appropriate measures that can be taken to mitigate adverse environmental impacts on the community. In addition, they would require training to equip them with skills they can use to appraise sub-projects on key environmental criteria and ensure that they are socially sound. 2.2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL TASKS 2.18 Given below is the table with a general list of environmental tasks/activities involved in a sub-project investment, for which the capacities need to be strengthened.

It is this that imparts the knowledge of environmental concepts, impacts of development on natural environment and ecology. The training in various environmental issues and exposure to best practices in environmental management will make the ESMC, communities, NGOs, contractors and key stake holders to be environmentally sensitive. 2.20 The components of training on environmental issues would pertain to, but not be limited to, the following: o Basic environmental concepts and issues o Legal/regulatory framework of environmental issues for urban sector projects o Identification of environmental impacts o Environmental screening of sub-projects o Environmental assessments of sub-projects o Preparing and implementing Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) o Regular training programmes in project management, public consultation and information dissemination, out sourcing, quality monitoring. o Software training for effective data base administration. 2.2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY BUILDING ACTION PLAN - TARGET GROUPS 2.21 Based on the existing capacities for each environmental task, the capacity building action plan identifies the additional capacities required to implement and manage environmental issues. This is provided in the table below including the target group for each component of environment capacity building. 12 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project * Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework D ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES - CAPACITIES REQUIRED - ACTION PLAN - TARGET GROUPS Desired Existing Capacities Additional Environmental Environmental Capacity Environmental Capacities Required Building Action Plan - Target OutpuVComponent Group Identification of CMAPP process Environmental outlook * Training in basic Environmental Conducting public Identifying environmental Environmental concepts problems / needs of consultations sensitive issues. * Training programme in the town.

Over a period of time, the ULB may implement some of 13 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services - - -l Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework the outsourced tasks on its own, as it builds its own resources and technology. The following tasks can be outsourced. * Collection of data necessary for environmental screening and assessment: For huge investments, intervening with vast area, where the existing ULB staff is not enough, the procurement of information required for environmental assessment and management may be outsourced to professional NGOs / Consultants / surveyors that is. * Detailed environmental assessment of sub-project investments: The ULBs do not have the required capacities and technical know how for undertaking detailed environmental assessment of sub-project investments. Hence, the EA categorized sub-projects may be given to professional environmental consultants for the environmental assessment. * Involving the communities/NGO's in monitoring the investments: At the sub-project investment level, the day-to-day monitoring may be devolved to the communities by forming task forces. They would report to the municipality any discrepancy by the contractor in sub-project construction. The progress of the sub-project and the duties of the contractor may be displayed at the sub-project site and disclosed to the public. 14 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework INFORMATION AND CONSULTATION STRATEGY 3.1 The Information and Consultation Strategy (ICS) is intended to lay out the way in which information will be provided to the project implementers and beneficiaries and also how consultations will be held during project implementation. Its purpose is to ensure social and environmental issues are effectively addressed by the project and sub- projects through a transparent and participatory manner. 3.2 The primary responsibility for the implementation of the ICS is vested in the ULBs. The following matrix shows a typical plan for provision of information and consultations for sub-projects in this urban project. 3.1 SOCIAL SECTION Stages of a sub-project Consultation and Information steps STEP - 1: Proposal and Feasibility (Information Role) Once a sub-project is identified the PIU should undertake a study determining the feasibility of the sub-project in view of the adverse social impacts it may pose. This study is an important source of information to the ULBs and also to the community for whom the sub-project has Pre-sub-project been proposed. The feasibility study should address the following: planning stage > Are the proposed goals of the sub-project valid > Who is the public for whose benefit the sub-project is being introduced > How is the sub-project going to serve them and is it in their interests > The alternatives to the sub-project and whether the alternatives are cost affective > Will there be any adverse social impacts due to the implementation of the sub-project > What would be the implementation strategy of the sub-project etc. STEP - 2: Initial Public Consultation (Consultation Role) Pre-sub-project The sub-project feasibility, its benefits and impacts need to be discussed with the community planning stage for whom the sub-project is proposed. This would help the implementing agency in taking the opinion of people, make them understand the pros and cons of the sub-project, altematives examined and the sub-project finalized. STEP - 3: Socio Economic Assessment/Analysis (Information and Consultation Roles) In this stage it is important to ensure that there are no adverse social impacts of the sub- project. The sub-project may be passed if it has no impacts and implementation can be initiated. However, if the sub-project triggers any social impacts then the following steps are Planning and to be considered while planning the sub-project. grounding stage > Identification of the PAPs through census survey > Collection and analysis of the baseline data > Preparation of Resettlement Action Plan > Preparation of Tribal Development Plan in case the sub-project effects tribal communities > Land Acquisition Assessment > Generation of other relevant information and > Consultation and communication strategy Task - 1: Identification of PAPs - Title holders and non-title holders (Information Role) > Verification of project records: Review of available records on the sub-project area to generate any information on the sub-project and the PAPs affected by it so that the information can be made use of in conducting the census survey. > Census survey/Enumeration: It is the most exhaustive method of generating the data on the PAPs as it covers all the affected persons in the sub-project area. The survey must be undertaken to collect two types of information, firstly, the extent and type of physical and financial loss to the PAPs in terms of loss of structure, land, source of livelihood, etc., and secondly, the socio-economic profile of the families/ individuals affected by the project. > Verification of records of right and land records: The records of rights maintained by the revenue department are the primary land records and they need to be consulted to determine the ownership, size of land and type of soil and utilization pattern of the land. > Verification of electoral and public utility records: Other than the titleholders there are also various other sections of the society that may be encountered in the implementation 15 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework Stages of a sub-project Consultation and Information steps of a project like the squatter and encroachers. To identify these groups it is important to verify public records such as ration cards, electoral records, electricity bills etc., to assess the tenure of stay and ownership of the structure in the project area. Task - 2: Identification of PAPs (Consultation Role) > Loss of access to community infrastructure, loss of public utility lines and problems with host population etc need to be identified. To address these issues consultations with people in the sub-project area will help. > Public consultations can be very useful but to achieve greater success the ULBs can use various participatory methods like public/locality meetings transect walks and observations, social and resource mapping, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews etc. > The consultations on the sub-project should also concentrate to include the problems of the vulnerable sections of the society like SCs. STs and women. FGDs with these vulnerable groups, separately, allow free discussion, interest and opinion sharing. Planning and grounding stage Task - 3: Generation of other information needed (Information Role) Along with the verification and identification of the PAPs the ULBs have to undertake various other assessment to address all possible social and R&R issues in a sub-project. Other information in a sub-project includes: > Land Acquisition Screening: The LA screening addresses information issues like quantity of land required, location of the land required, use of land required and determining the necessity for LA. This information can be generated through the planning documents prepared for the sub-project including the engineering designs and maps. Field verification is also very important to generate this information. > Land Acquisition Assessment: Through the LA assessment information pertaining to legal process for LA, timing of the LA, present land use patterns, estimated number of PAFs affected, tenural status of present users, presence of squatters and encroachers, presence of public utility services, cultural and historical sites etc., has to be generated. This information can be generated by a review of the project planning documents, LA Act and regulatory procedures, information maintained by the ULBs, secondary data like government statistics, social and demographic research and field survey. > Institutional capacity: The institutional capacity assessment will list the tasks as to which administrative entities are to be involved in LA, which personnel are responsible for the preparation and implementation of the SMP, which office will manage the information management issues etc. > Socio-economic analysis: The socio-economic assessment and impacts of the sub- project can be indicated by the LA assessment and the census survey/enumeration. However the censes survey of the PAPs and inventory of assets to be acquired is important. Information and plans and strategies should be planned to address issues like minimization of displacement, designing of resettlement and rehabilitation measures, enlistment of PAPs, entitlements for the socially vulnerable, adjustment to host communities etc. LA assessments, plans, maps, other secondary sources, field observation, household surveys, FGDs and information generated through participation can be used to prepare this information database. > Social Management Plan/Tribal Development Plan: Based on the above analysis the task of preparing the SMP/TDP should be undertaken accordingly for implementation. STEP - 4: Detailed Project Report (Information Role) Initial consultations, feasibility and socio-economic assessments on the sub-project will pave the way for the preparation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR). The DPR should constitute information on various components for successful sub-project implementation. The DPR will constitute: > A final design of the proposed sub-project after examining the various alternatives to Planning and reduce the social impact on the people grounding stage > The cost of the sub-project construction > The time frame the completion of the sub-project > The institutional arrangements for implementing the sub-project > Plans and proposals covering R&R issues > Design to ensure community participation in the sub-project (Beneficiaries, PAPs, NGOs, community organizations) > Plan for external help wherever needed (Experts, Advisors, Consultants) > Grievance redressal mechanisms 16 Andhra Pradesh Urbarn Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environinental Assessment Management Frarnework Stages of a sub-project Consultation and Information steps STEP - 5: Preparing for project implementation and sharing information (Information and Consultation Role) Once all the documents like prepared list of PAPS affected, the type of entitlements, plans for reconstruction of public utility infrastructures, details of land acquisition etc., steps have to be taken to disseminate the information among the PAPs and prepare agencies for project implementation. Task - 1: Announcement of the project (Information role) Before starting the project and plans for addressing the R&R issues, one of the foremost requirements is to announce the commencement of the project to the public and particularly to the affected people through the daily newspaper or through local radio or television. This is to make the people aware of the coming of the project. Task - 2: Displaying the layout of the project affected area (Information role) A layout map of the project indicating the affected area to be acquired has to be displayed publicly. The functionaries of the implementing agency can also make special visits to the project area and inform the people about the requirements of the projects and its impact on the people. Task - 3: R&R policy provisions and entitlements for the PAPs (Information role) Dissemination of information on the entitlement provisions for the losses can be undertaken by distributing leaflets incorporating the highlights of the provisions of the policy, and the Planning and benefits that will accrue to the people after the completion of the sub-project. If need be, the grounding stage pamphlets may be printed in the local language and distributed. Task - 4: Consultations with the affected people and public hearing (Consultation Role) Before land acquisition and construction activity related to the sub-project, project implementation authorities need to organize consultations with the PAPs. These consultations would provide an opportunity to the people to interact with the project-implementing agency with regard to the various arrangements and help in coming to a consensus on the project arrangements. This would also help the project-implementing agency to make final changes in the plans, if required, and verify the details pertaining to the PAPs and land acquisition. Task - 5: Involving NGOs/community in R&R implementation (Consultation role) It is important to identify at an early stage, an NGO who has been working in that area for some time. The NGO can facilitate discussions with the affected people. The NGO will act as a catalyst in helping the affected people to resettle and rehabilitate themselves. In addition, it will lend transparency in the process of implementation of social safeguard measures by the PIA. The Environmental and Social Management Committee (ESMC) comprising of officials of the project implementing agency, other line departments and community/NGO representatives would be formed to supervise the R&R implementation. This committee can also undertake negotiations with the people at various stages of the implementation of the project. STEP - 6: Addressing issues that arise during implementation (Consultation Role) As observed in the previous there may be many issues that the project-implementing agency may face during the implementation of the project such as: Implementation stage > Problems pertaining to compensations & allowances > Unexpected reactions from the PAPs with regard to the entitlements > Conflicts between the displaced community and the host community etc. To overcome these problems the PIA would adopt a consensual approach and address the grievances and queries of the people affected. STEP - 9: Monitoring Process through participation (Information and consultation Roles) The process of participatory monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is the logical extension of the ICS activities. Beneficiary committees can be formed for monitoring and supervision of the sub-project works. The process should also ensure that the project benefits have properly reached the affected people and the execution of the project sticks its original designs so that social compliance is achieved. Task - 1: Ensuring the implementation of the SMP/TDP and timely delivery of Monitoring and entitlements (Consultation Role) evaluation stage Ensuring that the SMPITDP is implemented according to a designed plan and also the timely delivery of the compensations and rehabilitation assistance to the PAPs is the responsibility of the PIA. The role of an NGO can be very crucial at this stage. 17 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework Stages of a sub-project Consultation and Information steps Task - 2: Reporting (Information Role) Reporting is an important aspect of the M&E process. Periodical reporting is important to generate information on the progress of the work undertaken. The status of the implementation of the SMP/TDP and progress has to be documented. Some thematic impact studies can also be planned and carried out on different aspects of rehabilitation in the project area carried out on different aspects of rehabilitation on a periodical basis. These aspects have to be indicated in the SMP since it will be a perspective plan document for the duration of project implementation. The information required for monitoring need to have the following characteristics: > Timely reporting > Relevant information provision (For example in a construction project, when the activity of site clearance is behind schedule, the reporting system is to be able to help probe into the reasons for such delay) > Reliable and realistic information > Format oriented reporting 3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SECTION Stages of a project Consultation and Information steps STEP 1: proposal and feasibility (Information and consultation) A new sub-project may be proposed in different ways viz. public demand, Govemment's proposal, public representatives like chairperson, M.L.A. or M.P. A specific sub project may have financial or social benefits but may have adverse environmental impacts. CMAPP process shall be employed in the identification of sub-project investments for the town (participatory mechanisms and public consultations). It should be ensured that the environmental issues are also considered in the identification and prioritization of the sub- project investments along with social, financial, infrastructural and local issues. The PIA should procure the sub-project related information inclusive of the environmental issues, from primary Identification and and secondary sources, consultations, etc. Design A rapid appraisal for feasibility of the sub-project is necessary at this stage. The following information should be included for the feasibility, identification and prioritization of sub-projects, as part of the CMAPP process. > Origin and purpose of the sub-project - urgency, needs addressed, background information of the sub-project. > Existing environmental scenario and anticipated change (positive and negative) in both the situations (with and with out investment). > Beneficiaries and the benefits Vs environmental impacts > Analysis of alternatives i.e. possible alternative investments to address the identified needs and problems. STEP 2: Initial public consultation (Information) Identification and Any sub-project that has been identified is to be put forth for public consultation. This would Design help the ULBs to obtain people's perception. This would also help the ULB gain public cooperation and participation during the implementation of the sub-project. STEP - 3: Environmental Screening Planning and At this stage, it is very important that the sub-projects are screened for environmental Grounding categorization. All the sub-projects that are categorized as environmentally sensitive should under go detailed (category EA) or limited (category EB) environmental assessment, depending on the categorization. 18 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework Stages of a project Consultation and Information steps STEP - 4: Environmental Assessment (Information and Consultation) For the assessment of sub-projects as specified above, the ULB may employ professional consultants to undertake detailed environmental assessments. Task 1: Review of the feasibility report (Information) To start with, it is necessary to provide consultants with the rapid appraisal information prepared by the concerned authorities as given in "Step - 1". Task 2: Procurement of Baseline Data (Information) The sub projects that have to go through environmental assessment should have baseline data of various parameters listed below. > Ambient Air Quality: Air quality data pertaining to the possible impact area at critical locations of sub project intervention impact area. > Water quality: Present water quality in the lakes/ponds/rivers that fall within the possible impact area due to the sub project intervention. > Ground water table: If there is a possibility of impact on the ground water table / ground water quality due to the sub-project intervention > Topography: The topographical details of the sub-project location; present flooding patterns and soil conditi6ns. Planning and > Flora and Fauna: the endangered species, trees, green cover that may be affected. The Grounding forest department can be consulted for the list of endangered flora and fauna along the sub- project alignment. > Presence of environmentally sensitive sites/structures: presence of any cultural structure, site, urban reserve forest area, and location falling under CRZ, natural and tribal habitats in the sub-project intervention area. > Existing Infrastructural facilities: existing infrastructural facilities that would be affected by various sub projects. > Physical Survey & Environmental Mapping : Physical survey and mapping of sub-project alignment area should include demarcated flora, vegetation, water bodies, infrastructural facilities, environmentally sensitive structures along with other structures and features in the intervention area. Task 3: Sub-project specific consultations (Consultation) Focus group discussions, consultation with PAPs, NGOs and/or community organisations should be conducted during environmental assessment to: > Consider their views and representations during the assessment process. > Identify alternatives for assessment, as may be required. > Identify sub-project specific community teams and formulate management and monitoring plans involving the communities, as may be required. STEP - 5: Detailed Sub-project Report (Information) Initial consultations and the assessment report on the sub-project will pave the way for the preparation of the Detailed sub-Project Report (DPR). The detailed sub-project report will have plans, recommendations of the assessment (assessment NA for "EC" sub projects), and various other components that are needed to implement the sub-project successfully. The DPR will constitute: Planning and > A final design of the proposed sub-project including the recommendations. (as per the Grounding assessment wherever applicable) > The time frame within which the sub-project will be completed. > The institutional and capacity arrangements for the implementation of the sub-project. > The involvement of experts, advisors and external agencies wherever necessary in the sub- project to achieve compliance with the environmental goals of the sub project. > Grievance redress mechanisms for the sub-project investment > Environmental management and monitoring plans inclusive of EMP costs. STEP - 6: Information Disclosure and Public Consultations (Information and Consultation) The final draft of the detailed sub-project report of each of the investments shall be disclosed to the public including the recommendations during public consultations. The DPR shall be made Planning and available to the public at a suitable place. Grounding The number of intermediary consultations depends on the duration and type of the sub-project. The consultations shall be done with the community to assess the quality of the construction and any other critical information related with the investment. Information in connection with environmental monitoring may be procured from time to time. 19 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services -, i- r Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework Stages of a project Consultation and Information steps STEP - 7: Intermediary Public Consultations (consultations) Sub Project The number of intermediary consultations depends on the duration and type of the sub- Implementation project. The consultations may be done with the community to assess the quality of the construction and any other critical information related with the investment. Information in connection with environmental monitoring may be procured from time to time. STEP - 8: Display and Disclosure of Information (Information) The periodic progress of the sub-project investment at each stage should be displayed at the Sub Project construction sites. It should consist of the following parameters Implementation > Number of complaints received and addressed > Finance spent and progress > Estimated time for completion STEP - 9: Grievance Redress (Consultation) Sub Project The S&E Officer and the ESMC (Environmental and Social Management Unit) shall try to Implementation redress grievances of people during the sub-project implementation. They should accept the complaints from the sub project affected area through phone call or in writing, and take necessary action. Step 10: Monitoring of Baseline Information (Information) The monitoring process should ensure the proper implementation of the EMP. Periodical Monitoring and monitoring of change in air quality, water quality, soil erosion etc. that may occur due to sub- Evaluation project intervention. This is useful to take up timely measures to reduce the adverse impacts. The frequency of monitoring may be as per the guidelines given in the assessment report of the sub project. Operation and Step - 11: consultations for sub-project maintenance (consultation) maintenance Consultations with the public to form community task forces for the sub-project operation and maintenance should be conducted for the sustainability of the sub-project investment. 20 Andcira Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Fnvironmental Assessment Management Framework SOCIAL AND ENVIRONNIENTAL SUB-PROJECT CATEGORIZATION AND SC REENING 4.1 Screening and categorization of the sub-projects in the urban sector will be based on the likely impacts on social and environmental safeguards. 4.1 SELECTION OF THE SUB-PROJECTS 4.2 Under the APUSP Project that is being implemented in 43 Class - I municipalities in AP, Critical Infrastructure Investment Plans (CIIP) are being prepared on the basis of the CMAPP process. The CIIP for each individual municipality (so far 19 ClIPs prepared) identifies the infrastructure requirements and details the prioritized preliminary sub-project proposals. This CMAPP process is being extended to all municipalities in AP. 4.3 The sub-projects identified by CIIP would cover citywide infrastructure, slum development and localized projects, identified by the municipalities in consultation with the communities and other stakeholders. 4.2 SCREENING OF SUB-PROJECTS 4.4 To ensure that the sub-projects are socially and environmentally sound, a screening methodology has been devised to identify the nature of impact. 4.2.1 SOCIAL SCREENING AND CATEGORIZATION 4.5 Social screening of a sub-project would be on the basis of whether it involves Project Affected Persons and/or tribal people. This information whether a sub-project involves PAPs or tribals can be ascertained based on the information collected through the socio-economic survey, verification of assets and losses and consultations with the community. Thus, sub-projects can be categorized into the following categories: - Sub-projects with adverse social impacts: A sub-project is considered as having adverse social impacts when there are person/persons or families affected/displaced due to loss of land, structures and assets, crops or trees, livelihood and/or community infrastructure or if there any tribal people who are affected by the intervention. In case where people are adversely affected, a Social Management Plan (SMP) would be required to be prepared. In case of indigenous groups being affected, a Tribal Development Plan (TDP) would be prepared. Steps for resettling and rehabilitating them would be undertaken or followed according to the provisions in the Urban Social Safeguard Framework (USSF). 4 Sub-project with minimal/no adverse social impacts: A sub-project will be considered as having minimal/no adverse social impacts when there are no person/persons, families/tribal groups affected by it. However, it is important that 21 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework such sub-projects are reviewed to ensure that they comply with equity, gender sensitivity, transparency and participation. 4.6 The possible adverse social impacts could be through: * Loss of land * Loss of structures & immovable property * Loss of livelihood * Loss of crops and trees * Loss of public utility lines/community infrastructure 4.7 It is important to consider losses to vulnerable sections of society and thus, special provisions must be put in place to mitigate such losses. 4.2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING AND CATEGORIZATION 4.8 Based on the severity of the impacts due to the sub-projects on the people, the sub-projects can be divided into three main categories. 4.2.2.1 CATEGORY - EA SUB-PROJECTS 4 A sub-project is classified as Category - EA if it is likely to have significant adverse social and/or environmental impacts that are sensitive, diverse or unprecedented. These impacts may affect an area broader than the sites or facilities subject to physical works. For a Category EA sub-project, a detailed environmental assessment along with an environmental management plan is necessary. This should examine the projects potential negative and positive environmental impacts, compare them with those of feasible altematives (including the "without project" situation), and recommend any measures needed to prevent, minimize, mitigate or compensate for adverse impacts. 1 4.2.2.2 CATEGORY - EB SUB-PROJECTS 4 A proposed sub-project would be classified as category - EB if it is likely to have potential adverse environmental impacts on human populations but such impacts are less adverse than those that fall under the Category - EA. These impacts are site specific; few if any of them are irreversible; and in most cases mitigatory measures can be designed more readily than for a category - EA projects. For sub-projects falling in the Category - EB, an environmental status report along with an Environmental Management Plan will have to be prepared. Like in Sub projects irrespective of their type, scale or any other parameter that are falling in locations or areas specific to natural habitats, tribal habitations, cultural sites, heritage constructions, religious monuments, coastal regulation zones, urban forestry or reserved forests shall undergo detailed environmental assessment. 22 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services - Social and Environmental Assessment rt,- -. r.i. Framework the sub-projects falling in Category - EA, the potential negative and positive environmental impacts for the projects under Category - EB will have to be identified and measures needed to prevent, minimize, mitigate or compensate for adverse impacts should be examined. 4.2.2.3 CATEGORY - C SUB-PROJECTS 4 A proposed sub-project is classified as category - EC if it is likely to have minimal or no adverse social and/or environmental impacts. Beyond screening no further action is required for a Category - EC project. 4.9 A detailed list of potential sub-projects categorized into A, B, or C categories are provided in Annexure - III. The categorization of sub-projects as A, B, or C for this project was done on the basis of: > Score given by the experts derived from Gujarat Urban Reforms project report (modified Delphi Technique). > Discussions with Municipal authorities, Urban and Environmental experts, and other stakeholders. 4.10 However, irrespective of the categorization of the sub-project, if the investment falls in an environmentally sensitive location, a detailed assessment would be done for the sub-project. Such locations include: 4 Tribal habitats 4 Natural habitats 4 Coastal regulation zones 4 Cultural sites/monuments/heritage structures 4 Urban forestry/reserved forest A list of environmentally sensitive locations is given in Annexure - V. 23 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services - Social and Environmental Assessiment Managemilent Framework SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MIONITORING PLANS 5.1 Monitoring and management of the sub-projects will be at two levels. The C&DMA, through its Municipal Strengthening Unit (MSU), would be responsible for overall management and monitoring of different sub-projects across municipalities while the concerned ULB will undertake management and monitoring of individual sub- projects at the local level. 5.2 At the ULB level, the implementation, management and monitoring of the sub- projects will be under the control of the Municipal Commissioner. Field activity and implementation of the infrastructure works will be managed by the Municipal Engineer who would be assisted by a senior officer designated as the Social & environmental Officer. Since the Town Planning Wing and the Revenue Wing of the ULB are more acquainted with Land Acquisition and revenue issues, they would assist the S&E Officer (preferably Deputy Engineer level personnel) to manage and monitor the social tasks. Similarly the Medical and Health Officer in the ULB could take assist the S&E Officer to manage and monitor the environmental tasks. In this way all these wings within the ULB can share the work and also be in contact with the Engineering Wing that would be planning all the infrastructural projects in the municipalities. 5.1 SOCIAL SECTION 5.3 An important component of project management is monitoring of project implementation. Monitoring of sub-projects would ensure completion of sub-projects as per schedule and within the resources provided. Regular information on sub-project implementation through monitoring will be crucial in addressing social issues in time and redressing the grievances of people. 5.4 The social management plan has been prepared based on the potential adverse social impacts due to sub-projects. The detailed social management plan is annexed as Annexure - VI. This includes: 4 Potential social impacts - Mitigation and other measures - Monitoring strategy and contingency measures 4 Agencies to be involved for the respective tasks 24 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 5.1.1 SOCIAL MONITORING PLAN 5.5 In addition, a detailed social monitoring plan has been prepared based on social tasks involved at different stages of the sub-project cycle.

This will enable them to identify and prioritize environmentally sensitive investments. 27 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforns and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Mariagement Framework 5.2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CATEGORIZATION OF SUB PROJECTS 5.9 The ULBs should make use of the categorization list discussed above for the classification of sub projects. 5.2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF SUB PROJECTS 5.10 The EA and EB categorized sub project investments should undergo detailed and limited environmental assessment respectively. The minimum data requirements sheet is annexed as Annexure - VII for the environmental assessment of sub-projects. 5.11 All the sub-projects that are screened and categorized as EA using the environmental screening/environmental categorization framework provided with the SEAMF will have to undergo a "Detailed Environmental Assessment". All the sub projects that fall in EB category have to be assessed for a "Limited Environmental Assessment". The sub-project investments categorized as either EA or EB, should also follow the Environmental Management Plan provided with the framework. The EMP provided is more generic which should be made more site-specific. It should also be noted that the procedures for undertaking an environmental assessment is a special task and requires a considerable knowledge in undertaking it. The guidelines for undertaking an environmental assessment are provided as Annexure - VIII. 5.2.4 SUB-PROJECT ALTERNATIVES 5.12 When the environmental assessment is undertaken, it has to be noted that if the sub-project is not feasible in view of the environmental components then the project implementing agencies should look for alternatives in the sub-project design that are environmentally compatible. 5.2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (MITIGATION MEASURES) 5.13 A generic Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that addresses impacts at all the stages of a sub project cycle (design, implementation and operational phases) is annexed with this framework. It has to be followed during the design, implementation and post implementation/operational phases of a specific sub-project investment. The plan gives the mitigation measures for each sub-project investment that will eliminate/mitigate adverse or negative environmental impacts. However, these plans need to be made site specific for each of the sub-project after undertaking the necessary assessments. The Environmental Management Plan has been annexed as Annexure - IX. 5.14 Some of the mitigation measures need to be initiated during implementation stage and some during post implementation stage. The responsibility of handling mitigation measures for various environmental concerns at various stages of the project has been designated to different organizations as given below. 28 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services - Social and Environmental Assessment Framework Project stage Responsibilities agencies Responsibilities /organizations Design ULB (social and environmental unit), Incorporation of mitigation and protection measures during PHED engineering design stage, review and approval of the same from time to time.

This, essentially, involves cross-checking the proposed EMP through suitable indicators during both the construction and operation stage. The proposed monitoring plan is based on set of indicators, which outline the state of environment and the project activities. The monitoring follows suggested mitigation measures made in the EMP. Monitoring includes checking whether contractor and/or urban local bodies meet the requirements during implementation and post implementation phases. 5.16 The proposed monitoring plan is divided into construction stage monitoring plan and operation stage monitoring plan. The primary monitoring responsibility has been assigned to ULBs (ESMC) in coordination with PHED and APPCB. At the overall project level, the Municipal Strengthening Unit (MSU) at CDMA would be responsible for monitoring sub-projects with the ULBs submitting regular monitoring reports to the MSU. 5.17 As described earlier, there may be some specific environmental impacts during construction phase for each sub-project, but most of impacts have a generic impact on land, water, air or ecology. Hence, a generic monitoring plan has been suggested. The generic monitoring plan is part of the monitoring plan mentioned in the Annexure - III. 29 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework SOCIAL & ENVYIRONNIENTAL SAFEGUARDS 6.1 URBAN SOCIAL SAFEGUARD FRAMEWORK 6.1.1 OBJECTIVES 6.1 The primary objective of the Urban Social Safeguard Framework (USSF) for the Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project (APURMSP) is to ensure that the Project contributes to the social well-being of all sections of the urban population.

The broad entitlement guidelines under the USSF that aim to mitigate the effects of physical losses and adverse impacts are provided below. 6.1.6 ENTITLEMENT GUIDELINES 6.6 Based on the assessed impacts and the entitlement framework, the PAFs/PAPs will be entitled to the following compensation and assistance: (i) compensation for loss of land, crops/trees; (ii) compensation for structures (residential/commercial) and other immovable assets; (iii) assistance for loss of business/wage income; and (iv) assistance for resettlement and relocation, (v) rebuilding and/or restoration of community resources/facilities. The Entitlement Framework given in the later section of this document details the entitlements extended to PAFs/PAPs for losses incurred by them. 6.1.6.1 LOSS OF PRIVATELY OWNED LAND Market Value for Land 6.7 The loss of privately held agriculture land/residential/commercial sites will be compensated at a market value as per the provisions specified in the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The following valuation methods may be adopted while determining the market value for the land to be acquired. (i) Taking into account such prescribed rates or the average of the actual transaction rates of similar lands for last three years for which sale deeds are registered. (ii) Fixing up market value of land equal to the minimum land value if so prescribed by the State Government under Indian Stamp Act for the purpose of registration of sale deeds under Indian Registration Act of 1908. 6.8 The total compensation to the PAP, in such a case, would be: a. The market value so determined b. 30% of base compensation as solatium c. 12% per year from the date of notification to the final placement under Section 9 d. For delayed payments, after placement under Section 9, an additional 9 percent per annum is paid for the first year and 15 percent for subsequent years 6.9 The compensation for land can also be decided based on the Consent Award system (negotiated settlement). Under this system, the PAP negotiates with the 33 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services - r Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework Negotiation Committee and once the amount is agreed upon, the PAP cannot move the court for enhancement of the compensation. 6.10 In case any PAP and the project authorities do not reach any agreement or when the situation so warrants due to reasons such as administrative efficiency, the land would be acquired under the LA Act (1894 and as amended). However, in such cases an aggrieved party can approach the court for enhancement of the compensation. In cases of disputes such as where land records are not updated/mutated or where the ownership titles are not clear, then the compensation amount will be deposited with the civil court till the disposal of the case. 6.11 The provision of extra Floor Space in lieu of compensation for land may be extended to PAPs. However, the prerogative to provide TDRs and other relaxations would lie with the ULBs. Agricultural Land 6.12 The method of determination of market value for agricultural land will be similar to the one followed for homestead land. In addition, for agricultural land the following may be considered (iii) Taking into consideration 20 times of the annual value of gross production of the concerned land, averaged over preceding five years. For this purpose, authentic secondary data from the district statistical handbook and the data from the agricultural department should be used. 6.13 However, if any PAP or PAF is rendered vulnerable through acquisition of agricultural land i.e. either they become landless or their land holding becomes less than 2 Hectares in case of dry land and less than 1 hectare in case of wet land, economic assistance under GOI/State government schemes will be provided. A description of such schemes is provided under 'Economic Assistance under Government Schemes'. 6.14 In cases where agricultural land has not been alienated but is being physically used for residential/commercial purposes, and where plotting has been done for residential/commercial purposes, and, transactions have taken place on square meter basis, then the compensations will be calculated on the basis of the minimum land value prescribed by the State Government under Indian Stamp Act for residential/commercial category or the registration rate, whichever is higher. However, this provision will be applicable in cases where the plotting has been done in clusters, and not in isolated cases. 6.1.6.2 LOSS OF COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL AND OTHER IMMOVABLE PROPERTIES ON PRIVATE LAND 6.15 The loss of house, house annexure, commercial property, wells and any other structure will be compensated as per the Government norms specified LA Act. 34 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 6.16 The valuation of structures will be done as per the requirements pertaining to the LA Act. This involves the following: * The identification of structures and their measurements by the ULB * The list of structures along with details of measurements may be sent to the R&B Department * R&B Department to verify the measurements and assess the value of the assets o Value of assets would be determined as per the Standard Schedule Rates (SSR). o SSR is a compendium of unit rates for structures based on: * Type of structure * Quality of materials used 6.17 In cases where relocation is inevitable, transitional allowance would be paid for reestablishing residence would be paid. The PAPs/PAFs will also be provided with free transport facility for shifting materials and in case transport facility cannot be arranged a shifting allowance of would be provided. 6.18 Provisions made for compensation of structures and land falling under commercial category is similar to that of the Residential structures. However, for all the vulnerable PAPs who have lost commercial structures, special provisions like economic assistance and vocational training will be provided. 6.19 In case the structure becomes unviable for habitation, as recommended by a certified Architect/Engineer, then the PAP has the option to surrender the remaining part of land and structure for which the compensation will be paid as per provisions in LA Act. 6.1.6.3 SQUATTERS 6.20 Squatters are not entitled for legal compensation under Land Acquisition Act. However, in order to avoid their further impoverishment and to improve their standard of living, the USSF provides for certain targeted support to the squatters. 6.21 The squatters losing residential structures will receive no compensation for land. A free constructed house under Weaker Section Housing Scheme (WSHS), Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) or VAMBAY scheme will be provided. Alternatively, an equivalent amount of cash compensation could be provided for construction of house in an alternative site. 6.22 For squatters who lose commercial property, priority would be given under various government economic assistance schemes along with provision of vocation skill training. 6.23 All squatters will be provided with free transport facility (or a shifting allowance) and they will be entitled to salvage materials from the demolished structure. 35 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services C- -- r Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 6.24 Encroachers will be notified in time, preferably two months in advance in which time to remove their assets. The encroachers will receive no compensation for land. However, all the encroachers will be compensated for the affected structures. The encroachers are also entitled to salvage the materials from the demolished structure. 6.1.6.4 SHARECROPPERS/AGRICULTURE TENANTS 6.25 An advance notice of minimum 60 days will be given to sharecroppers/agriculture tenants. Full compensation for loss of standing crops/trees will be provided as per provisions in LA Act. Vocational training may also be provided after due consultations with the PAPs. 6.1.6.5 LOSS OF CROPS AND TREES 6.26 At least 60 days notice would be provided for harvest of crops. Compensation for loss of standing crops and trees (seasonal or perennial) would be done on the principle of market value. The valuation of loss of crops and trees will be as per the requirements of the LA Act and in the following manner: (i) Crops: Advance notice of a minimum of 60 days would be given for harvest of crops. In case of loss of standing crops, compensation equivalent to market value determined by taking into account (a) the average yield and (b) the market price. The ULB should take the advice of the Agriculture Department for arriving at estimates of average yield and market prices. (ii) Fruit-bearing trees: With the help of the Horticulture Department, the ULB should estimate the market value of annual produce (based on prevailing market prices). Total compensation for loss would then be equivalent to annual market value so determined multiplied by number of remaining productive years of the tree. (iii) Timber Trees: The valuation for timber trees should be done with the help of the Forests Department. The valuation of such trees is equivalent to the value of timber from the tree and should be based on (a) type of tree (b) girth and (c) height. 6.1.6.6 LOSS OF PUBLIC UTILITY LINES/COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE 6.27 In the event of loss of public utility lines/community infrastructure, the project implementing authorities will take appropriate measures to restore them at the earliest or provide alternative arrangements. 36 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 6.1.7 PROCESS & PROCEDURES 6.1.7.1 CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE 6.28 Public consultation, participation and transparency will be used as cardinal principles in dealing with the adverse impacts. Problems will be reduced when people are properly informed and consulted about the project and allowed to make meaningful choices and participate in the decision making process. The consultations will enrich project planning and design, improve public awareness of development objectives of the projects and promote project acceptability and transparency. In recognition of the importance in providing accurate and early information to the key stakeholders, the project authorities will prepare project details and disseminate among the stakeholders. PAPs, host communities, project personnel, local government agencies, NGOs and other interested persons and groups will be interacted right from the early stages of the project preparation on a regular basis for developing and implementing the SMP. Consultations at the stage of project preparation mainly include consultations during screening, verification and census survey. The SMP so prepared based on survey, individual and group consultations will be placed at public places for the benefit of public reading and their comments. If not the entire document, the executive summary of the SMP will be prepared in local language and will be displayed for the public. Similarly, a brochure on the USSF will be prepared in English and local language and will be displayed at public disclosure points. The public disclosure places, at the minimum, include the following: * In the offices and libraries of the project area (Commissioner and Municipal libraries) * District Collectorate and MRO Offices * Zilla Parishad Offices * Departmental web sites 6.29 The disclosure material will provide the information on contact person's address and telephone number for the public to offer their comments and to conduct consultations. Consultations will be carried out even during implementation and monitoring period both by project personnel and independent bodies as required. 6.1.7.2 BASELINE CENSUS SURVEY 6.30 Collection and effective use of data are essential for both resettlement planning and implementation. The baseline census survey of sub-project area would be conducted to assist in gathering comprehensive details about various aspects of the PAPs, including their socio-economic and cultural profile, which can be utilized to formulate the SMP. It would also provide the scale and impact of sub-project in the form of resettlement. The baseline census survey would ensure the following: * Identification of PAPs through visual documentation * Identification of vulnerable groups * Minimization of displacement * Designing appropriate resettlement and rehabilitation measures 37 Andhra Praclesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 6.31 The baseline census survey should be complemented by qualitative information through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and other participatory tools. In addition, wherever possible, aerial maps should be used to screen out families entering the sub-project area after the baseline survey. 6.1.7.3 LAND ACQUISITION 6.32 The process of land acquisition will be as per the LA Act. 6.1.7.4 VOLUNTARY LAND DONATION 6.33 There may be a number of instances where the titleholders, landowners, private trusts, industrial areas affected by sub-projects would come forward to voluntarily donate the land for the development activities undertaken in the municipality. It can also act a useful tool to avoid land acquisition wherever possible and reduce the cost of implementation. The voluntary donation can be finalized during the formal consultations with the community and the PAPs. Wherever possible, specific Focus Group Discussions can be conducted with stakeholders. Any grievances with regard to voluntary donation can be redressed at the Grievance Redressal Cell established at the ULB or any neutral institution that would mediate between the PAP and the Project authorities. Consent to voluntary donation of land could be agreed upon with the help of a MoU/Gift Deed/Affidavit to implementation agency. The MoU/Gift Deed/Affidavit for Voluntary Land Donation is provided as Annexure - X. 6.1.7.5 DEMOLITION OF STRUCTURES 6.34 EPs will be allowed to salvage materials from their demolished structure. Project authorities need to provide a notice period of at least two months before demolition of structures. The allotment of new house site or other entitlements, as applicable, will be made available prior to the eviction notice. After demolition of the structures, EPs will hand over the sites to the project authorities. The delay between the clearing of the site and the commencement of construction will be minimized to avoid the possibility of re- encroachment. The project authorities may evict people following the safeguards and principles of notification, witnessing, and assistance described in the LA Act. 6.1.7.6 PAYMENT OF COMPENSATION 6.35 The payment of compensation to PAPs will be as per the entitlements specified in the entitlement framework. The mode of payment will be through account payee cheques directly deposited in the accounts of beneficiaries. 6.1.7.7 RESETTLEMENT COLONY 6.36 The municipalities can also extend the provision of alternative resettlement sites in cases where a large number of people are displaced, especially those who are vulnerable. Adequate basic infrastructure and utilities would be provided in such 38 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Enivironmental Assessment 1- , .:. Framework colonies. The basic infrastructure, in general, includes safe drinking water, approach and internal roads, sanitation, electricity, schools, hospital, streetlights, bus-shelter etc. The project authorities will allot the developed sites for house and business purposes in the Resettlement Colony. The house sites in the Colony will be provided as an option and households may still opt for self-relocation. The local host population in the resettlement area will also be consulted about their views and needs, and be given appropriate support to reduce any adverse impacts caused by influx of new people. 6.1.7.8 TRAINING 6.37 Providing training will encourage self-employment activities. The eligible PAPs will be trained in skill development and up-gradation. The project authorities will organize these training programmes through NGOs or training institutes at project cost. 6.1.7.9 ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE UlNDER GOVERNMENT SCHEMES 6.38 For people whose livelihood are affected due to the sub-project intervention, the USSF provides for support and economic assistance through coverage under government schemes that are presently being implemented in the state. This provision is to ensure that the PAPs are provided with an opportunity to recover their earlier livelihood standards. Some of the schemes under which the PAPs will be provided with employment opportunity are given below. Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) 6.39 SJSRY is a centrally sponsored scheme which aims to provide gainful employment to the urban unemployed or underemployed through encouraging them to setup self employed ventures or provision of wage employment. This scheme is applicable to all urban towns and the PAPs who are affected due to sub-projects under the APURMSP can be covered through this scheme on a priority basis. Urban Self Employment Programme (USEP) 6.40 USEP have three distinct parts namely assistance to individuals, urban poor beneficiaries and groups of urban poor women for setting up gainful self employment ventures. Under this scheme a loan of up to Rs. 50,000 is provided to the beneficiaries to start their self employment venture. The beneficiary's contribution under this scheme is only 5 percent of the total project cost. The selection criterion for the scheme is also simple and accommodates beneficiaries with a minimum educational qualification of 9th standard. Chief Minister's Empowerment of Youth (CMEY) 6.41 This programme was launched with a goal of reducing employment in the urban and rural areas of state provides and provides various welfare measures for the youth. The scheme concentrates on encouraging group activities and group investments while 39 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services 17 Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework planning self employment ventures. The beneficiaries can form their own groups of 5 to 10 individuals and approach the government for funds. Development of Women and Children in Urban Areas (DWCUA) 6.42 This scheme is distinguished by the special incentive extended to urban poor women who decide to set up self-employment ventures in a group. Groups of urban poor women take up an economic activity suited to their skill, training, aptitude, and local conditions. To be eligible for subsidy under this scheme, the DWCUA group should consist of a minimum of 10 urban poor women. The group selects an organizer from amongst the members. The group also selects its own activity. As far as possible, activities are selected out of an identified shelf of projects for that area maintained by the town urban poverty eradication cell. Urban Wage Employment Programme (UWEP) 6.43 The UWEP seek to provide wage employment to the beneficiaries living below poverty line within the jurisdiction of the Urban Local Bodies (ULB) by utilizing the labour for the construction of socially and economically useful public assets. This programme applies to ULBs with 5-lakh population. Schemes under SC/BC Corporation & Tribal Welfare Department 6.44 The Social Welfare and Tribal Welfare Departments have initiated many programmes and loaning schemes for the welfare of the SCs, STs and BCs in the form of economic support schemes for the upliftment of the poor. Economic assistance is provided through margin money at low rates of interest under special economic support schemes, PMRY & CMEY, etc. 6.1.7.9 PREPARATION OF SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (SMP) 6.45 A Social Management plan will be prepared for each sub-project based on the baseline information collected from the PAPs during the census survey of the sub-project area. The Plan will be prepared in close consultation with the affected persons and should reflect their preferences. The SMP will also include an implementation schedule broken into specific activities and coordinated with the chronogram of construction. Guidelines for the preparation of SMP are given as Annexure - XI 6.46 The SMP should be disclosed at specific public disclosure points for public review and comments. The SMP should ensure periodic monitoring of the Resettlement & Rehabilitation programme by project authorities along with NGOs/community organizations. Need for involvement of NGOs in supporting the ULBs in their activities is provided as Annexure - XII. 40 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Ma nagement Framework 6.1.7.10 PREPARATION OF TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 6.47 The identities, cultures, lands and resources of tribal groups are uniquely intertwined and vulnerable to changes caused by development programmes. Because of this uniqueness and cohesiveness, the development programmes that include tribal regions/population/habitations, should ensure that the tribal groups are not disadvantaged by these development interventions and the proposed mitigation measures/benefits are culturally compatible. 6.48 The Tribal Development Plan will present strategies for addressing the issues pertaining to tribal groups and must be based on informed participation. Wherever adverse impacts are anticipated, the social assessment should identify measures to avoid or mitigate harm through a Tribal Development Plan in consultation with tribal groups. Guidelines for the preparation of Tribal Development Plan are given as Annexure - XIII. 6.1.7.11 PROVISIONS FOR OTHER VULNERABLE GROUPS 6.49 Additional assistance and focus on vulnerable sections is essential since they need more time to resettle in new settings and accordingly specific measures are proposed to these sections. The Entitlement Framework includes social safeguard provisions for vulnerable groups. In order to provide socio-economic security to the affected women members, it is proposed to register allotment of house in the joint name of the EP and his/her spouse. The entire amount to be paid other than the compensation, will be awarded jointly and equally in favour of titleholder and his/her spouse. In case the owner of the asset is woman, then the entire amount will be awarded in the name of woman. However, the compensation amount of an asset will be paid to those who own the asset legally. 6.1.7.12 COST AND BUDGETING 6.50 The cost of R&R works and compensation for land will be the integral part of total project cost. This cost should be ascertained as early and possible and adequate financial resources must be earmarked for R&R. 6.1.7.13 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS Project Implementing Level 6.51 The Municipal Commissioner will be overall responsible for the social & environmental components. He/She will designate a suitable officer at the ULB level to undertake the tasks involved. Staff from the PHED, the town planning and revenue departments and community organizers will support this officer. An Environmental & Social Committee (ESMC) will be constituted at the ULB level with the Municipal Commissioner as Chairman to oversee proper implementation. This would include officials from various departments as well as NGO/CSO representative. 41 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforrns and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Managernent Framework Project Management Level 6.52 The Municipal Strengthening Unit (MSU) of C&DMA will assist the local bodies in preparing sub-projects with necessary social and environmental safeguards in line with USSF. The S&E Manager at APUFIDC will screen each sub-project proposal submitted for funding to verify whether the proposed project adheres to social and environment safeguards specified under USSF. 6.1.7.14 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL 6.53 Grievances at the local level can be made at the complaint cell formed at ULB level. This would be forwarded to the S&E Officer for necessary action. He should submit his decision in writing to the ESMC, within a stipulated time period. If the aggrieved PAP is not satisfied with this decision, appeal could be made to the ESMC. If the grievance persists, appeal can be made to the Grievance Redressal Bodies constituted at the District and State Levels, which would recommend and facilitate the redressal of these grievances. 6.1.7.15 AMENDMENTS TO THE USSF 6.54 The MAUD of Government of Andhra Pradesh may make amendments to the USSF as and when considered necessary. 42 Andlhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmenital Assessment Management Framework 6.1.8 ENTITLEMENT GUIDELINES Catg.

The Framework aims to protect air, water and land environments; conserve and safeguard environmentally sensitive areas like cultural properties and heritage structures, urban reserve forest and natural habitat areas and areas under coastal regulation zone. The Framework envisages strong local commitment for environmental protection and management in every development activity related to infrastructure and reform intervention under the APURMS Project. 6.2.2 PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTING THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 6.56 The following principles will guide the implementation of Urban Environmental Safeguard Framework (UESF). 4 All the sub project investments in the Municipality/Municipal Corporation shall be in compliance with the environmental framework. 4 The sub project investments shall be categorized as per the environmental screening framework, before they are grounded. 4 All the sub projects categorized, as environmentally sensitive shall make sure that they undergo environmental assessment before they are grounded. v The sub projects shall be grounded and implemented considering the environmental management plan, mitigation measures and outcomes of environmental assessments as may be required. 4 The municipality shall make sure that all the sub project investments proposed in the environmentally sensitive zones (location of the sub project) will undergo detailed environmental assessment. - Environmental safeguard policies shall be followed at all the stages of a sub project. 6.2.3 APPLICABLE SAFEGUARD POLICIES 6.2.3.1 APPLICABILITY OF POLICIES, LEGISLATION AND ACTS 6.57 APUTRMSP shall undertake sub project investments within the purview of Indian laws, and in consideration of the obligations of regulatory and funding agencies. In India, the civic infrastructure investments are not subjected to environmental clearance, as on date, except for obligations under Hazardous Waste Act, where the sub-project investments are above Rs. 50 crores. In addition to these, the sub-projects will also consider World Bank Operational Policy (O.P) 4.01 where they are subjected to environmental analysis leading to Environmental Management Plan (EMP). Apart from 47 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services - i -i Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework OP.4.01, which is applicable to the project, OP 4.04 & OP 4.11 may also apply to certain components of projects as well as OP 4.36 on forestry, OP 4.09 on pest management, (use of pesticides for control of vector borne diseases, especially in slums) and OPN 11.03 on cultural property. The following are the mandatory requirements for the project in Andhra Pradesh, where the following clearances need to be obtained before initiating the projects. 6.2.3.2 FOREST CLEARANCE UNDER THE FOREST (CONSERVATION) ACT, 1980 6.58 Clearance has to be obtained from the forest department and Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), if any proposed sub-project intervenes with urban forest/reserved forest area. If cutting of trees is not involved or acquisition of forest area is less than 5 ha, the regional MoEF will give the clearance. If acquisition is more than 5 ha but less than 20 Ha regional MoEF, clearance may be obtained on the recommendations of the state advisory committee and concerned central minister. If the acquisition is more than 20 Ha, MoEF, GOI, will give the clearance. 6.2.3.3 MAINTENANCE OF AMBIENT NOISE LEVELS 6.59 As per the Environment (Protection) Act (EA) 1986, ambient noise levels are to be maintained as stipulated by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for different categories of areas like, commercial, residential and silence zones, etc., during sub- project construction and operation. 6.2.3.4 FILING WITH STATE POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 6.60 All the sub projects that are categorized as EA and EB should undergo detailed and limited environmental assessments respectively. All these sub projects will be brought to the notice of respective the State Pollution Control Board for its clearance. 6.2.3.5 PERMISSION FOR CUTTING OF TREES 6.61 As per Section 28 of the Andhra Pradesh, Water, Land and Trees Act, 2002, clearance and written permission from Municipal Council/Municipal Commissioner is needed for cutting trees/tree branches while providing public utility services or developing infrastructure. 6.2.3.6 DEVELOPMENT IN COASTAL REGULATION ZONE 6.62 The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, 1991, regulates the developmental activity within 500 m of High Tide Line (HTL) of the landward side. 6.2.3.7 PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE 6.63 The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, enables the people to access legal aid to claim compensation in the event of an accident occurred while handling any hazardous 48 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework substance. So insurance needs to be taken up by the project implementing agencies or contractors. 6.64 The project proposes to construct townwide infrastructure in the urban areas, where the investments intervene with various other infrastructure already in place. In such areas the project implementing agency will ensure the following clearances before initiating the works. 4 Clearance from Roads and Buildings Department for cutting roads. 4 Permission for breaking or shifting of public utilities like sewer lines or water pipe lines from Water Supply and Sewerage Boards. 4 Permission and clearance from electricity board for shifting/ moving of streetlights and transformers during widening of roads or construction of fly over or pedestrian ways or any other likely sub projects. 6.2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 6.65 The environmental impacts due to the sub projects would vary by location, the type and size of the sub-project and, thus, could be at different levels. The activities like construction; operation and maintenance of the sub-project investments can trigger negative impacts, and hence adequate mitigation measures must be put in place. The potential impacts of sub-project investments could be in the form of: 6.2.4.1 MAJOR IMPACTS 4 Air pollution 4 Noise pollution 4 Change in Land use 4 Loss of vegetation 4 Loss of human habitations and involuntary resettlement. 4 Contamination of soil and water - due to change in land use and flooding patterns 4 Impact on cultural / heritage resources + Disturbance to Natural Habitat 6.2.4.2 MINOR IMPACTS 4 Disturbance to soil and natural drainage 4 Disturbance to movement of traffic 4 Disturbance from dust 4 Change in flooding patterns 49 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reformns and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment 1 Framework 6.2.5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES 6.66 Analysis of alternatives would be done for those sub-projects for which the EA report informs severe social or environmental impacts and suggests that the sub-project cannot be taken up. 6.2.6 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) 6.67 The EMP should be formulated based on baseline environmental studies and public consultations. The EMP provides the link between the potential impacts and the required mitigation measures. The potential impacts and mitigation measures required during planning, construction, operation and maintenance of the sub-projects are presented in the EMP. To strengthen the implementation of EMP a sub-project specific checklist may be prepared for the monitoring of the implementation of mitigation measures. The environmental monitoring plan provided with this framework may be referred for the investment specific applicability. 6.2.7 PUBLIC CONSULTATION FOR THE SUB-PROJECTS 6.68 As discussed in the Information and Consultation Strategies, public consultations at different stages of the sub-project will be conducted. This would not only ensure effective participatory planning but also inform mitigation measures in the EMP. 6.2.8 CULTURAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN 6.69 All the sub project investments that intervene with cultural properties shall be categorized as "EA" - that are environmentally sensitive and have severe adverse environmental/cultural impacts - and should undergo a Detailed Environmental Assessment that includes a Cultural Property Management Plan. 6.2.8.1 DEFINITION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY 6.70 The term Cultural Property refers to "the sites and monuments / constructions with archeological (prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, and unique natural values ". 6.71 Cultural properties are heritage structures that reflect the history of a region and cultural practices of the people. They encompass the remains of previous human inhabitants (for example, middens, shrines, and battlegrounds) and unique natural environmental features such as canyons and waterfalls. Most importantly, they are the sources of historical and scientific information. Since the rapid loss of cultural property is irreversible, it is to be mandated to protect the cultural properties. 50 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework 6.2.8.2 CULTURAL PROPERTY POLICY GUIDELINES 6.72 The principal policy guideline of the Project is to protect and conserve the Cultural Properties. It would aim to avoid the elimination, demolition or damage to any cultural property. 1. Any project or sub-project that could considerably damage or mandates demolition of any cultural property should not be sanctioned for commissioning. 2. If any sub-project investment intervenes with the damage to cultural property, which is not minor, then the project-implementing agency should work out alternatives to the proposed investment. 3. If the sub-project investment is in great favor and may generate major benefits to the people, and if it poses minimum damage to any cultural property, and if there is no other alternative to the proposed investment, justified by the competent authorities, then 4 People's opinion survey, public consultation and focused group discussions with the sub-project affected people surrounding the cultural property to be conducted 4 The Archeological department should be consulted for its active role and clearance of the sub-project 4 Architects/conservation specialists should be involved for possible alternatives that eliminates/mitigates the damage to the cultural property. 4. In cases where the investment can neither be relocated nor cancelled, and which is of great benefit to the society, the cultural structures may be restored, relocated, preserved on alternate sites in consultation with the conservationists, archeologists and architects. 5. The implementing and monitoring institution should be strengthened and trained to be entrusted with safeguarding cultural properties. 6. The finances for the cultural property management should be directly part of the scope of the project. 6.2.9 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION 6.73 A strong organizational structure, systems and the trained and committed staff are the pre-requisites to realize the objectives of EMP. In recognition of this, the institutional arrangements have been discussed in the Chapter - I of this document. 6.2.10 CONCLUSION 6.74 The SEAMF discussed above has been prepared from the various consultations, focus group discussions, stakeholder consultations and sub-project assessments. This Framework was subsequently tested in three towns in AP to verify its applicability on sub-projects. The detailed assessments of the sub-projects are given as Annexure - XIV. 51 I I~~~~~~~~~~~~ l ANNEXURES~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I I i Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmerital Assessment Ma nagement Frameework' ANNEXURE I Analysis Matrix of Policy Legal and Administrative Framework: Social Section Policy Legal and | Issues addressed by the Policy/Programme/Law/Act Review of Policy/Programme/Law/Act Relevance for Reforms and Administrative Investments under APURMSP Framework POLICIES Vision 2020 of > Balanced distribution of urban population The Vision 2020 document of Andhra Pradesh visualizes a Issues pertaining to Government of Andhra > Healthy and environment friendly cities path and suggests viable strategies for the balanced growth > Levy of user charges Pradesh > Efficiency and economy in city planning and development of urban areas in the state.

All the 'EA' categorized sub-projects must and should undergo the "Detailed Environmental Assessment" as per the below mentioned guidelines. 2. If the sub-project is categorized 'EA' because it intervenes an environmentally sensitive location/site/structure, the assessment may be limited to that area (sensitive location). ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE DATA 3. Environmental baseline data of the proposed sub-project intervention area to be collected. Format for Data Collection may be referred for procuring the baseline information. 4. Environmental baseline information needs to be collected for areas falling outside the sub-project intervention area if they are likely to face adverse environmental impacts due to the sub-project intervention. 5. As part of the data collection, required maps (topographical/contour/infrastructure service lines/habitat cover of flora and fauna/environmental sensitive locations, etc.) that may likely to be affected due to sub-project intervention should be prepared for detailed assessment. 6. Public consultations in the sub-project intervention area with key stakeholders should be used to highlight the problems faced and likely impacts due to the sub-project intervention. 7. The data should also consist of * The size of the sub-project in terms of budget, area, estimated time of completion * The location of the sub-project and its intervention with environmentally sensitive locations * Number of beneficiaries and affected persons/families * Present infrastructure facilities like water distribution, sewage, storm water drains, street lights etc. and their maximum carrying capacities (quantity/volume) that would be affected due to sub-project intervention. REFER TO ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONS AND POLICIES 8. Environmental Legislations and Policies may be referred to assess compatibility with the environmental legislative and policy framework. For example, intervention of sub- project alignment with the coastal regulation area is within the framework of CRZ regulations of 1991. IDENTIFYING THE ADVERSE IMPACTS 9. Impacts can be identified by comparing the existing baseline and various components of the proposed sub-project like alignment, size, disturbance to existing civic services etc. 10. Overlay the forecasted adverse impacts due to the proposed sub-project on the existing baseline. A graph with environmental parameters on X-axis and existing and forecasted impacts on the Y-axis is suggested. This will bring to light quantitatively and qualitatively, the intensity and area of impact. 11. In addition, Public consultations may inform the implementing agency, whether all the impacts have been accounted for, as well as provide a bottom-up perspective on environmental hazards and management. Annexure Page - 40 Andhra Pradesh Urban Rcforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environrnental Assessment Framework ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES 12. All the available alternatives (including the proposed alternative) for the alignments/locations/technology with respect to environmental impacts may be identified and analyzed to address the potential negative impacts. No project alternative (what would be the scenario of existing environmental baseline, projected in to future, if the project is not taken up) should also be analyzed. SUGGESTIVE/ MITIGATIVE MEASURES 13. Environmental Management Plan and Monitoring Plan may be referred to follow the suggestive measures/mitigative measures for the impacts identified. 14. Finalize the measures to be taken for reducing/mitigating the adverse impacts on air, water, land, flora & fauna. Ensure that the measures proposed pertain not only to the period of implementation of the sub-project but also for subsequent operation & maintenance phase. DETAILED PROJECT REPORT (DPR) The Detailed Project Report that is prepared for every sub-project for approval from APUFIDC and PCB should include a separate environmental management and monitoring plans for the sub-project if the sub-project is categorized as 'EA' or 'EB'.

An ad hoc and unorganized arrangement may lead to complications and may delay many processes. Therefore, there is a need to involve NGOs in the implementation of RAP. An NGO acts as a bridge between project authorities and the affected communities. The NGOs will be selected by ESMU. Steps in Selection of NGO 4 Preparation of NGO matrix soliciting basic information about the NGO's field of experience, years of working in the area, manpower status etc. A copy of the NGO matrix is attached 4 Obtaining a list of NGOs through recommendations from the government agencies that has experience of working with NGOs * Correspondence with NGOs to obtain details about their working experience and their willingness to associate with a project of this nature 4 Short-listing of names on the basis of a checklist information criteria v Final selection by ESMU * Training / orientation of the NGOs selected Criteria for Selection The following is a checklist of the preferred qualifications and qualities for involvement of an NGO in the project implementation. It is not an exhaustive and mandatory list. Modifications may be made as NGOs may best be assessed on a case-to-case basis. * Local presence and experience of NGO 4 Should be apolitical 4 Should have trained man power and field experience to be able to implement the project 4 Check for any possible black listing of any of the NGOs 4 Preference should be given to those NGOs that have past experience of handling big budget projects 4 Past experience of working of the similar projects and with the weaker sections of the society 4 Experience or of willingness to network with other government and non governmental agencies 4 Experience of working with the government and in executing government sc me hi the past v Qualitative assessment of NGOs conviction and belief in the project's underlying objective Role of NGOS Resettlement of PAPS * Contact with those who are likely to be relocated Annexure Page - 60 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Eovironinerital Assessment Management Framework I - Awareness generation among these PAPs about the project and its related impact and activities + Educating PAPs to make an informed choice about their relocation preferences v Coordinating with the Field Offices, District Administration, Revenue Department and the PAPs for identification of sites. 4 Supervise quality of construction of resettlement structures 4 Active role in ensuring that the funds are released in time and in the right amount 4 Ensuring that all other benefits to which the PAPs are entitled are accorded to them 4 Assist in the process of relocation and in shifting 4 Play an active role in grievance redressal 4 Act as a link between the govt. agencies, SMU and the communities Income restoration and rehabilitation 4 Identification of the actual beneficiaries 4 Rapport and confidence building 4 Assessment of the skills 4 Facilitation in the implementation of the government schemes for income restoration selected by the PAPs 4 Organizing or conducting skill training programmes and forming self help groups Minimizing resistance NGOs have a crucial role to play in the smooth implementation of the project and can reduce friction between the government agencies and PAPS, if any. 4 Generating goodwill about the project by information dissemination 4 Assisting the government agencies in the process of land acquisition by interacting with the communities 4 Educating and convincing the communities members about the need for amicable relocation of religious structures wherever proposed 4 Involving the opinion makers in the decision making process at grass root level 4 Avoiding the outside forces with vested interests Contracting NGOs The selected NGOs will enter into a contractual agreement with the project authorities. A Memorandum of understanding will be signed between the parties wherein the following information\provisions would be made: 4 Exact nature of work and tasks to be handled by the NGOs 4 Overall time frame (The RAP implementation generally takes two years, hence, NGO services can be taken for two years) 4 Arrangements for reporting 4 Budget v Provisions for accountability and performance monitoring Annexure Page - 61 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment i1 Framework ANNEXURE - XIII Guidelines for preparation of a Tribal Development Plan (TDP) The identities, cultures, lands and resources of tribal groups are uniquely intertwined and vulnerable to changes caused by development programmes. Because of this uniqueness and cohesiveness, sub-projects that include tribal regions, should ensure that the tribal groups are not disadvantaged by these development interventions and the proposed mitigation measures/benefits are culturally compatible. This annexure provide a set of guidelines for addressing impacts on tribal population through the preparation of a TDP. The Socio-Economic Survev/Enumeration The socio-economic survey/enumeration forms the basis for preparation of a TDP, which attempts to identify and also assess possible adverse impacts (positive or negative) on distinctive cultural/social/economic ways of life of tribal communities. The TDP document should present the number of tribal groups, their baseline socio economic and cultural data, the status of, tribes whether they are the sole group or a small minority and the presence or absence of land tenure issues etc. It would also attempt to, establish the following distinctive characteristics of the tribes depending on the relevance and need: > A close attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources > Self-identification and identification by others as members of a distinct cultural group 0 An indigenous language, often different from the national language > Presence of customary social and political institutions, and > primarily subsistence-oriented production Consultation and Participation While observing all the cardinal principles of consultation and participation, specific measures will be followed to ensure the use of culturally appropriate consultation methods that allow tribal groups to express their views and preferences. The consultations aim at: > Inform the tribal groups of their rights ) Inform about potential impacts of sub-project on their livelihoods/environment/resources > Consult and involve them in decision making and planning from sub-project inception > Provided income/livelihood opportunities during and after the completion of the sub-project Preparation of a TDP A TDP will be prepared to ensure that there are no significant or adverse negative impacts on the distinctive cultural or economic ways of life of tribal people. It presents strategies for addressing issues pertaining to tribal groups and will be based on informed participation of the tribal people affected. Wherever adverse impacts on the tribal people are anticipated, the socio-economic survey/enumeration would help in determining impacts and also help in inclusion of measures to avoid and mitigate harm to them. The TDP primarily intends to achieve the following objectives: Annexure Page - 62 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Frarnework > To ensure that tribal groups are afforded respect for their dignity and cultural uniqueness in the development process > To ensure that they do not suffer from adverse effects > To ensure that they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits > To ensure benefits from prior consultation and informed participation Suggested guidelines of preparation of a TDP A. Legal Framework 1. Establish the legal status of the tribal people/groups identified under the sub-project 2. Assess the ability of such groups to access and to effectively use the legal system to defend their rights with particular attention to their rights, develop lands that they occupy, protection against illegal intruders, and to have access to natural resources B. Baseline Data 1. Include accurate, up-to-date maps and photographs of the sub-project area showing the areas inhabited by tribal people 2. Analyze the social structure and income sources of the population 3. Provide Inventories of the resources that tribal people use and technical data on their production systems 4. Capture the full range of production and marketing activities in which tribal people are engaged. C. Land Tenure 1. Establish legal recognition of the customary or traditional land tenure systems of tribal people. 2. Where the traditional lands of indigenous peoples have been brought by law into the domain of the state and where it is inappropriate to convert traditional rights into those of legal ownership, alternative arrangements should be implemented to grant long-term, renewable rights of custodianship and use to indigenous peoples. D. Strategy for Local Participation 1. Devise mechanisms for participation by tribal people in decision making throughout sub- project planning, implementation, and evaluation. 2. Provide effective channels for communicating local preferences, representation, foolproof methods to guarantee full local-level participation. E. Mitigation Activities 1. Prepare detailed descriptions for appraisal of proposed services as education, training, health, credit, and legal assistance. 2. Technical descriptions should be included for the planned investments in productive infrastructure. Ensure that plans that draw upon indigenous knowledge are used as they succeed better than those that are entirely new principles and institutions. F. Institutional Capacitv 1. Assess the capacity of the institutions in place for implementation based on (i) availability of funds for investments and field operations; (ii) adequacy of experienced professional staff; (iii) ability of indigenous peoples' own organizations, local administration authorities, and local NGOs to interact with specialized government institutions; (iv) ability of the executing agency to mobilize other agencies involved in the plan's implementation; and (v) adequacy of field presence G. lmplementation Schedule 1. Include an implementation schedule with benchmarks by which progress can be measured at appropriate intervals. H. Monitoring and Evaluation 1. Suggest Independent monitoring institutions/officials. Explore the possibility of finding tribal peoples' own organizations for sub-project management 2. Prepare monitoring reporting formats for assessing sub-project implementation 1. Cost Estimates and Financing 1. Prepare a plan which detailed cost estimates for planned activities and investments 2. The estimates should be broken down into unit costs linked to the financing plan Annexure Page - 63 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessrnent Management Framework ANNEXURE - XIV TESTING OF SEAMF ON SUB-PROJECTS Introduction To test the applicability and usability of the Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework (SEAMF) prepared under the APURMSP, three towns across the three regions of Andhra Pradesh were selected. A list of sub-project investments was then selected from each of these towns to test the SEAM Framework. The sub-projects selected were part of the list of investments detailed in the Critical Infrastructural Investment Plan (CIIP) proposals prepared under APUSP. For better applicability of the SEAM and also to enhance and strengthen the plans and strategies mentioned within it, it was felt that the towns selected for testing should constitute both Class - I and Class - II towns. Since the project will be applicable to all the towns in the state, selection of towns across different town classes would ensure proper representation. The sub-project investments for the Class - I towns were selected from the CIIP documents prepared by the municipalities under the APUSP project. In the case of Class - II towns, since there are no CIIP, the sub-projects selected included the general proposals prepared by them based on their needs. This selection was done with the help of municipal staff and the councilors. Care was also taken to ensure that the sub-projects selected were across various investment interventions like water supply, drainage, roads etc. The study mandate specified that the sub-projects to be selected and tested should be part of the first year investments of that ULB if the loan is sanctioned under APURMSP. Since most of the sub-projects proposals prepared for the first year were low-cost, low-investment and smaller in their magnitude, it was decided by the study team that testing all the components in the SEAMF will not yield good results in terms of checking its applicability. In other words the smaller projects may not trigger strong adverse social or environmental issues on which the plans and strategies can be checked. In view of this, the selection of sub-projects was not restricted to first year sub-projects Sample Towns Andhra Pradesh state is constituted of three geographical regions, Telangana, Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema. The three regions have specific geographical characteristics, in terms of topography, water resources, ground water sources, forest cover, climate, rainfall etc. Their geographical condition has a bearing on the urban development of the regions and towns within that region. Due to this there may be specific problems to each region and hence the priority of the infrastructural investments is different for each region. For this purpose the selection of towns for testing the SEAMF was also done in different regions. The selection of towns on the other hand was also influenced by the difference in the capacities of the towns. The existing capacities of class I towns is different from that of class II & III towns, for the implementation of the proposed project, with a bearing on social and environmental management and monitoring, capturing this difference between them was important to capture. Based on these criteria the study team has selected two Class - I towns namely, Qutbullapur and Kakinada and one Class - II town namely, Madanapalle for testing the SEAMF. This Annexure Page - 64 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmrental Assessment Management Framework was to capture the region specific infrastructure requirements and also study the capacities of both class I and class II towns.

Underground Drainage Construction of underground drainage system in for 5.00 Crores Madanapalle town Testing of SEAMF - The Process Once the study team visited the town, one of the first tasks undertaken was to explain in detail to the ULB officials the purpose of the visit to the selected towns and also introduce the project in detail to them. Once this was done a meeting with the ULB officials was organized to brief them on the various components of the SEAMF. All the key ULB staff like the Commissioner, Municipal engineer and his support staff, Health Officer and his support staff, Town Planning Officers and their support staff and Revenue staff were invited to this meeting. The drafts of the SEAMF and the Social and Environmental manuals were distributed so that the ULB staff could go through them. After the initial meeting and distribution of the SEAMF and Manuals to the officials a second meeting was organized along with the municipal chairman and the councilors for the selection of the sub-projects for testing. This meeting was also important to organize public consultations on the testing. The testing of the sub-project was undertaken with the help of the ULB officials and the Municipal Councilors. The testing process was divided into three major activities, namely, Annexure Page - 65 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessrnent Management Frameework 1. Focus Group Discussion with the key ULB staff and Municipal Council 2. Focus Group Discussions and consultations with the people 3. Public Consultations All the sub-project sites were visited and the components under the SEAMF were tested on the field. Focus group discussions were also conducted with various groups, including women to brief them about APURMSP, the SEAMF and how they can participate in the whole process. Consultation, monitoring and management strategies were discussed with the people along with the ULB officials. A majority of the consultation activity was conducted by the ULB staff from the engineering, town planning and the health sections. The study team played the role of a facilitator and the proceedings were recorded by them. The findings of these sub-project consultations and discussions with the ULB officials were presented in the public consultation organized on the final day of the visit to the municipality. The public consultation was attended by various officials and interested groups like the councilors, Municipal chairman, ULB staff, NGOs, SHG members, Community based organizations and other key stakeholders. The major components of SEAMF that were tested include the following. 1. CMAPP process 2. Institutional Arrangements 3. Screening and Assessments for Social and Environmental Components 4. Social and Environmental Capacity-building Action Plan (SECAP) 5. Information and Consultation Strategy (ICS) 6. Social and Environmental Management Plans 7. Social and Environmental Monitoring Plans 8. Social and Environmental Safeguard Policies 9. Social and Environmental Regulatory Framework Findings Some of the key finding of testing the components of the framework that have been incremental in drafting the final SEA and the SEAMF reports are presented below. The key findings are discussed under each component of the SEAMF tested. CMAPP process The CMAPP process initiated under APUSP project has resulted in building excellent capacities in Class - I towns of Andhra Pradesh in terms of public consultation and information dissemination at the town level. It has build community groups; self help groups, and initiated various NGOs to participate in the process. But there are a few shortcomings of this process. -* Though the CMAPP Process is a comprehensive participative and transparent process, it is found that there are still various sections of the community who feel that they have not been a part of it. They suggested that the number of micro-level consultations have to be increased to increase the reach of the consultation process. - The CMAPP process has been used to identify probable sub-project investments at a town level for a period of 5 to 7 years. For this purpose town-level committees have Annexure Page - 66 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmierital Assessment Managemierit Framework been formed and their representation is at a town level. The plans and strategies suggested and prepared by these committees are not trickled down to the general community. Due to this a considerable number of people are not informed about the initiatives undertaken in a CMAPP process. -* The prioritization process followed for selection of sub-projects needs to be further developed on the basis of social and environmental parameters. It was found that issues pertaining to resettlement and rehabilitation are not fully covered when prioritizing the sub-projects. The sub-projects have also been prioritized on the basis of the cost incurred, extent of land acquisition involved, environmental problems etc. Along with these parameters a detailed need assessment could also help in selecting the sub-project for the development of the town. -* The environmental appraisal of sub-project investments of CIIP through the CMAPP process is at a very premature level. This has to be strengthened to the framework standards of APURMS project. Capacity Building Issues Capacity building issue is the most important component of the SEAMF that received a lot of attention from the municipal staff as well as the community. There are various issues that come out during the discussions at the three ULBs. - The APUSP project has achieved a commendable success in all the Class - I towns, wherein the capacities of the municipal staff, municipal council and the community have been built in view of social and environmental issues. The APUSP project has enhanced capacities in community participation, transparency, monitoring, management etc. But the testing shows that capacities need to be further enhanced. Secondly, Class-II towns have much weaker capacity as compared to the Class - I towns and would, therefore, require investment in capacity building. - The ULB staff has mentioned that currently most of the assessments for social and environmental components in a sub-project are being outsourced to external consultants and institutions. Especially with regard to the technical and designing aspects of the project they need training so that internally the capacities are built. It is also suggested that instead of external consultants, it would be desirable to recruit experts to work temporarily for the project but as municipal staff. This would enable capacity building of the engineering and town planning staff in the ULB. - Issues pertaining to resettlement and rehabilitation, though not unknown to the ULB staff needs more attention. It is found that the processes followed to address these R&R issues are not systematic in the ULBs. The staff needs to be trained on the various processes involved in R&R and also in preparing various plans and strategies associated with R&R. Preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan, Tribal Dvelopment Plan, and Conducting Basseline and census survey for the PAPs, Land Acquisition Assessment etc., are some of the components that the ULB staff needs to be trained. There is a severe lack of capacities on these issues, especially in the case of Class - II towns. -> The CMAPP process has considerably exposed the ULB staff to the consultation processes. It is found that these consultation processes though highly participatory take place at a town level. The staff is found to be lacking in conducting on-site consultations. The ULB staff has also suggested that they should be further exposed to PRA techniques and other tools for conducting consultation. Annexure Page - 67 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services Project Social and Environmental Assessment Managernent Frarnework - Capacity building in monitoring, management, and operations for handling social and environmental issues need attention when training the ULB staff. - The proposed institutional arrangements at the ULB level is basically redefining and devolving additional responsibilities to the existing staff. The institutional arrangements suggested in the SEA and the SEAMF have been appreciated with some changes. The municipal staff has also suggested that the social components in a sub-project will be handled by the town planning and the health section of the municipality and the engineering and the revenue departments will handle the environmental components. - The community, especially the SHGs and CBOs have stated that they also should be provided with training and suggested that they could help the ULB in the planning, management, monitoring and the maintenance of the sub-projects. The SECAP addresses the issues as to how the capacities of the people have to be built. - Since there is no APUSP or any other programme that concentrates on capacity building and consultations in Class - II towns, they have to trained more and more concentration should be on encouraging study tours for the staff of the class - II towns for exposing them to new ideas. - Their understanding and knowledge of environmental concepts and issues like Environmental assessment of sub-projects, Conducting and recording public consultations with an environmental view, Managing and monitoring of environmental issues in a sub-project intervention, Knowledge of policy and regulatory framework etc are very important. The ULBs have to enormously improve their capacities in all the above said issues. The earlier capacity building action plan has been revised as per the observations made during testing, elaborating training and outsourcing issues. - ULB staff needs to be more informed about the various legislations n policies that could have a bearing on the sub-projects especially those pertaining to R&R and environment issues. Information and Consultation Strategy The information and consultation strategy that was suggested in the SEAMF has been tested and the ULB staff has appreciated the plan. Some of the issues that have come up with regard to the consultation strategy are as follows. -> The ULB staff and the councilor though are good at discussions and conducting meetings and consultations in an office atmosphere are failing to do the same at the field. Most of them have been unable to formulate questions and answers in a large crowd. Management of large crowds and consultations at the field-level are important in planning measures under any sub-project. Training in this direction on participation and tools and techniques of PRA assumes high priority. - Strategies of dissemination of information are absent. The staff should be trained in this direction to see that they undertake the task of publicizing and dissemination in a more planned way to reach the garget groups. - The staff should also be trained as to when a consultation has to be conducted. There may be various levels and types and times when consultations have to be conducted. In other words there has to be a plan for consultations for the benefit of the project staff to see that the project is implemented in a smooth way. - The staff should also be planned for consulting specific consultations like, consultations with cultural groups, people on cultural properties, women, scheduled Annexure Page - 68 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Scrvices Project Social and Environmental Assessment Management Framework i castes etc. These focus group discussions will also help in reducing any problems that may arise in the sub-project and also mitigating and addressing problems of the specific groups under examination. -+ Finally the capacity for conducting, planning and implementing consultations has to be prepared incorporated. Screening and assessments for social and environmental components -* The ULB officials have to be trained in using the screening framework prepared to screen and categorize sub-projects socially and/or environmentally. - It was found that the ULB staff have not been exposed to any categorization of sub- projects. For this purpose various formats have been prepared or assessing all the sub-project falling in various categories. - Some of the major projects may be outsourced to consultants as per the existing capacities of the ULB. For this purpose the ULBs need to have capacities to manage the consultants. Such capacities will need to be developed. Social and Environmental Management and Monitoring and Operations - The issue with regard to the management and monitoring of the social and environmental issues in the sub-project need more importance than they are being given now in the towns. Sub-project can become more successful if the people and the community is involved into the project monitoring and management. - After consultations with the ULB staff it was noted that project based managing and monitoring is rarely done. But after the deliberations the ULBs agreed that the Town Planning and the revenue sections should handle social issues and the Engineering and Health section should handle environmental issues. - Identification of impact and exposure to various types of PAPS and other issues was clearly discussed with the ULB staff. Earlier the staffs were not fully exposed to these issues. - The social safeguards suggested in the SEAMF have been reviewed by the staff at the municipality and the also by various senior officials in MAUD. After the review they observed that the entitlement matrix for handling resettlement and rehabilitation issues of various impacts has to be changed. Issues with regard to squatters, encroachers, tenants etc., were discussed in detail and was observed that the entitlements suggested are out of the existing legal framework and that new entitlements be prepared for them. For this purpose it was prescribed that the existing Government Orders (GOs), case studies of similar sub-projects interventions across the state be reviewed so that they can act as references for suggesting entitlements for squatters and encroachers under APURMSP. The box above gives a brief note on the case studies reviewed for this purpose. - The issues with regard to conducting the social and environmental assessment etc. are always given to the external consultants. However, the staff expressed their interest in conducting assessments themselves, provided they are equipped with proper training and knowledge. - One of the drawbacks in two out of three towns is that they have been unable to take the people into the monitoring and management activity during the construction of infrastructure in the town. If this is done the project staff can be more transparent with the people and this can build social capital. To some extent, this has been done by the Qutbullapur municipality. Annexure Page - 69 Andhra Pradesh Urban Reforms and Municipal Services 'r Social and Environnmental Assessment Management Framnework - Capacity building is also needed in the ULBs with regard to monitoring and managing R&R issues. Necessary training may be imparted to the officials in this regard. - During the testing it was possible to identify the key officials who would be undertaking the social and environmental tasks respectively while implementing the sub-projects. Undertaking the management and monitoring of sub-project by the Deputy Engineers and the Municipal Engineer has been identified as the best possible alternative for better implementation. - Community participation, review meetings within the ULB staff and other consultation only restricted to the Class - I towns. Class - II towns should be guided through this process to achieve sustainability of the sub-projects. BOX - CASE STUDIES Case Study4: Vijayawada City Review of procedures followed to rehabilitate squatters and encroachers in slum clearance activities in Vijayawada Municipal Corporation show that around 8000 families have been displaced. Among them around 2000 families have already been rehabilitated. Some of the important issues that were observed in this case are as follows. * Sensitization classes and meetings with the community to explain the rehabilitation package * Distribution of pamphlets with reasons for slum clearance and its advantages and disadvantages • All the 8000 families were provided with a house site of size 40'X1 0' * Development of infrastructure like drainage, drinking water, streetlights in the resettlement colony * Provision of housing loan to the families displaced to a tune of 25,000. (Till date2500 families have been provided with the loan) * One youth from each family was trained under self-employment scheme Case study-Il: Visakhapatnam City The slum clearance and housing programme in Visakhapatnam was implemented in about 251 slums and around 60,000 families have been displaced. Around 6700 permanent houses are being constructed for them under the VAMBAY scheme and eligible PAPs are being provided with housing sites according to the availability of land. Some of the important findings of the review of this case study are as follows. • Formation of a resettlement and rehabilitation committee with the involvement of beneficiaries • Provision of transit allowance for each family to a tune of Rs.1000 * Provision of house sites to eligible candidates and families • Provision of contingency fund to all families to the tune of Rs.1000 * The house constructed on 1+3 pattern where one structure will accommodate 3 families * Allotment of house are made on the basis of mutual consent or by seniority and age of the beneficiary Case study - 11: Hyderabad City Slum clearance aclivities were carried out in a number of sums in Hyderabad. There was no specific policy or documenl lo redress Resettlement and rehabilitation issues, but mosl of Ihe Issues were addressed on a case-by-case basis after proper consultations with the people. Mosl of Ihe people displaced were relocated on govemment lands and house sites or houses were provided or construcled for them. No additional allowances were provided. Annexure Page - 70
