Project Development Objective(s) A. Original Project Development Objectives – Parent The primary objective of the overall Roads and Bridges Management and Maintenance Program (RBMMP), is to stimulate growth and contribute to poverty reduction through improved road infrastructure, better sector policies, and enhanced roads sector management. More specifically by (i) improving the coverage and conditions of roads and bridges in the territory of the Recipient; (ii) strengtheningthe Recipient's institutional capacity to manage and administer the road sector; (iii) establishing financing mechanisms for road maintenance; (iv) promoting the use of local resources in roads construction and management; and (v) improving road transport safety. The project development objective of this phase of the APL is to improve access of the population to all-season roads through maintenance, rehabilitation and upgrading of the classified road network. The indicators to assess the achievement of the PDO are (i) the percentage of classified roads in good and fair condition, and (ii) the percentage of the rural population within 2 km of an all- season road. Intermediate outcomes have been defined as follows: (a) improved road sector management capacity; (b) enhanced execution of the road maintenance program; and (c) timely and cost-effective implementation of the IDA financed rehabilitation and upgradingof sections of the National Road N1. B. Current Project Development Objectives – Parent C. Proposed Project Development Objectives – Additional Financing (AF) 3. Project Description There are no changes in the Project Development Objectives (PDOs), its design/scope, or the project outcome indicators. The proposed additional financing is to support the phase 2 of the Road and Bridges Management and Maintenance Project (RBMMP), which has the following components: (A) Support to road maintenance program on paved and unpaved classified road network Estimated allocation is about US$40.23 million. All these works are complete. (B) The funding of upgrading works on the national network. This essentially is rehabilitation and upgrading works on N1 from Maputo to Maxixe that were not financed under phase one of the APL due to cost increases. Estimated allocation is US$83.4 million. All the planned works are complete. (C) Capacity building of the following activities were covered under this component: (i) outsourcing of the services of ANE at the provincial level during its transformation to a road agency; (ii) axle load control measures; (iii) road safety measures; (iv) the preparation of local government policy and strategy; (v) TA, training and equipment for ANE, RF and the planning unit at MOTC; Page 2 of 9 (vi) preparation of design and bidding documents for the outer years of the program; (v) various studies needed for the continuation of the program. Estimated allocation is: US$16.94 million. The main purposes of the additional financing and Project Restructuring are to: (a) incorporate the required emergency components related to the new floods of January 2013; and (b) extend the project closing date, to allow for the implementation of the complementary project activities. The additional project activities are being prepared under OP 10.00, paragraph 11 - Projects in Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance or Capacity Constraints, include: (A) Emergency related works in the Limpopo River Basin (approximately US$110 million): The January 2013 floods have severely damaged about 18 stretches of roads and bridges, including three on the main national road (EN1). The unpaved roads of the secondary and tertiary road network, key to accessing services in rural areas, as well as linking with other key national roads, have been equally impacted causing major disruptions in transportation of the people and goods in the Limpopo Valley and its surroundings. The damage needs urgent repairs to restore the normal life of the affected population and businesses. The emergency works can be categorized into two major groups/ categories. i. Category 1: involves the relatively smaller urgent civil works which could be implemented immediately by currently operating contractors and retroactively financed by the Bank. ii. Category 2: involves more complicated and intensive civil works related to substantive medium and long-term technical solutions which will also prevent future floods and minimize their adverse influence on the area. These will be prepared under design and build methodology using an Output and Performance Based (OPRC) type of contract which transfers the majority of the risks to the contracting party. (B) Development of Climate Resilient Roads infrastructure (approximately US$15.75 million): In order to contribute to the Government's strategy of inclusive growth and rural development, the proposed activity will focus on the investments to make rural roads more resilient to climate change and it will also pilot improved local arrangements for tertiary roads maintenance to lower levels of risk to climatic events in the medium to long term. An innovative approach shall be developed and piloted in Gaza province. The pilot will be afterward subsequently scaled up through Government and other Development Partner financing. This activity shall be co-financed by the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience facility. (C) Incremental Operating Costs and Training of Road Fund and ANE staff (US$2.5 million): This activity will contribute to the development of human resources and improvement of their competence to adequately fulfill their professional obligations and be updated with the current engineering aspects of road sector. 4.

Explanation (Optional) Environmental Assessment OP/ Yes The proposed project (AF) has triggered three BP 4.01 safeguards policies, namely OP/BP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment), OP/BP 4.11 (Physical Cultural Resources) and OP/BP 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement). Just as its parent- project, AF is a category B project because of the sites’ specific low impact nature of its foreseen Civil works, which are likely to have an impact on the biophysical environment for selected flood impacted roads sections and bridges. Borrower has since updated the ESIA/ESMP of the parent project to better capture some of the specificities of the targeted roads and bridges. Since this additional financing is being prepared under OP10.00, paragraph 11 - Projects in Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance or Capacity Constraints, the updated ESMP will be disclosed both in-country and at the InfoShop as soon as it is cleared by the Bank. Natural Habitats OP/BP 4.04 No Forests OP/BP 4.36 No Pest Management OP 4.09 No Physical Cultural Resources OP/ Yes The ESMP that builds upon the former ESMF BP 4.11 has included appropriate "Chance-find" mechanisms to ensure mitigation of any new discovery of PCRs during project implementation. Indigenous Peoples OP/BP 4.10 No Involuntary Resettlement OP/BP Yes There may be cases where encroachment on the 4.12 wayleave requires compensation and resettlement, though this is to be confirmed. Borrower is updating the 2006 RPF for re- disclosure as soon as cleared by the World Bank. An abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), if required, will be prepared, consulted upon, and disclosed during project implementation. Safety of Dams OP/BP 4.37 No Projects on International No Waterways OP/BP 7.50 Page 4 of 9 Projects in Disputed Areas OP/BP No 7.60 II. Key Safeguard Policy Issues and Their Management A. Summary of Key Safeguard Issues 1. Describe any safeguard issues and impacts associated with the proposed project. Identify and describe any potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts: The proposed investment is typical of a Category B projects, just like its parent-project. The impacts of the proposed major restoration emergency works are spread throughout the Limpopo flood plane in the Gaza province and are estimated to have low negative impacts and site specific, both in the construction/rehabilitation phase and over the life of the roads and bridges operation phase, but these impacts can be reduced by the application of appropriate mitigation and support measures. Overall, these negative impacts are far outweighed by the positive social impacts of restoring the road network, and facilitating easy and affordable move of local communities and businesses. The environmental and social management measures proposed in the updated Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) are generally straightforward. The majority of the measures relate directly to sound operating practices both during the construction/rehabilitation phase and subsequently over the operational life of the roads and bridges. There may be cases where encroachment on the wayleave requires compensation and resettlement, though this is to be confirmed. The proposed restoration works (reconstruction/rehabilitation) are not expected to require the physical resettlement of Project Affected Persons (PAP), nor will it result in massive loss of crops, assets, or livelihoods. Though unlikely, there might be insignificant encroachment in portions of surrounding farmlands, the width of the existing right-of-way is sufficient enough (by law, 15 m on each side of the road) to allow the easy move of machineries during the construction/ rehabilitation activities. To ensure timely and adequate compliance with OP/BP 4.12 core requirements, the Borrower has updated the 2006 RPF, and appropriate budget is been provided in the project to ensure that, if required, an abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), is prepared, consulted upon, and disclosed during the course of project implementation. 2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area: No negative environmental or social impacts are expected to result as a consequence of the emergency roadworks; rather, the medium and long term social and environmental impacts of the restoration works are hugely positive, since the implementation of the projectwill result in the improvement of the living conditions of population settled along the roads and the entire district in general thus contributing to poverty reduction. Moreover, travel time to trading centers as well as to basic socioeconomic services will be shortened and there will be improved access to markets and to sell their livestock products. The upgrading of the road will result in efficient traffic flow with savings in both time and cost thus there will be improved communication, which at present is a big concern. Page 5 of 9 Restored roadworks will increase/ease access to schools and colleges, as well as other basic social and economic services. Restoration of the roadworks will result in reduction in accidents along the road and avoid the use of unsafe off-road routes. Women play an important role in agriculture throughout the country. However, the lack of a functioning road network makes it harder for women to access markets for their products. This is anticipated to change tangibly with the rehabilitation of the road networks, hence allowing women to free more time that could be further devoted to improve livelihood conditions of the household, and ultimately of the targeted communities. 3. Describe any project alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts. Without the restoration of this vital transport network, the social impacts on the PAP will be immense, restricting their abilities to undertake commercial and agricultural practices, as well as limiting access to schools, hospitals, commercial centers, police stations, government offices, and other institutions. In addition, the impassability of the roads is leading to increased mortality and morbidity due to increased road accidents, and the necessity to utilize off-road routes. There is therefore no alternative to the project that would fulfill the immediate need to provide access to transport networks to the local affected populations. 4. Describe measures taken by the borrower to address safeguard policy issues. Provide an assessment of borrower capacity to plan and implement the measures described. Environmental and social management for all roadworks will be undertaken through the implementation a consolidated Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), which will follow both World Bank Operational Policies and guidelines, the ESMF/ESIA prepared for RBMMP1 in 2006, and the environmental and Social management requirements delineated in the Environmental and Social Guidelines for Road Works in Mozambique, prepared for the Administracao Nacional das Estradas (ANE) in September 2006. This document contains the Environmental and Social Management requirements for road rehabilitation and periodic maintenance projects in Mozambique. The guidelines are also compliant with the requirements of the World Bank Operational Policy OP/BP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment). The consolidated ESMP, which is being updated by the Government and will be disclosed, covers all necessary steps to mitigate negative impacts. These include but are not restricted measures during construction to: a) mitigate risks of erosion and sedimentation around watercourses; b) restrict water and soil contamination on work sites and around work camps (including littering and waste disposal); c) restrict generation of dust during construction; d) reduce risk of fire, cutting of trees for firewood, and trapping by construction workers; e) implement HIV/AIDS awareness programs f) ensure sustainable water management at worksites and construction camps; g) ensure use of “chance find� procedures under OP/BP 4.11 (Physical Cultural Resources); and h) minimize risks of accidents and ensure occupational safety and security of workers on construction sites. The borrower, ANE, has successfully completed environmental and social safeguards implementation on both RBMMP 1 and 2, and has in-house staffs that are well versed in Bank operational safeguards policies with proven experience on Bank financed operations. Provision is been made under this AF to further support the capacity building of the team on Safeguards. As described in paragraph 3, above, this emergency additional financing will cover three basic types of civil works that will encompass two approaches to safeguards mitigation: 1) For the smaller, urgent restoration civil works, implementation of the Environment and Page 6 of 9 Social Clauses (ESC) contained in the ESMP will be systematically included, as a requirement, in each civil works contract. Additionally, supervision and reporting on the adequate implementation of the ESCs, and thus of the ESMP, will be required of the Resident Engineer contracted to supervise the works. 2) For the more complicated “build back better� works and the proposed climate resilient roads infrastructure (both of which will be undertaken on existing roads and will not involve new construction) , the design contractor will also prepare a site specific Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA) that would include an ESMP, based on the initial ESMF/ESMP, for implementation as the works are being carried out. As in the case of the urgent civil works, supervision and reporting on the implementation of the ESMPs will be required of the Resident Engineer contracted to supervise the works. 5. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanisms for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. Key stakeholders are the communities living along the road, in close vicinity to the road, as well as other potential road users. The former as well as some of the latter have been consulted about the proposed roadworks and are strongly vociferous in their wish that civil works commence as soon as possible, in order to resume normal life and restore their livelihoods. A grievance redress mechanism is detailed in the consolidated ESMP which will be/has been disclosed in country and in the InfoShop, prior to appraisal. The framework document (ESMF) was initially disclosed, in 2006 and re-disclosed in 2010 at the time of the AF for RBMMP2. The ESMF is being updated for this emergency additional financing and will be disclosed as soon as it is completed. B.
