No 2. Project Objectives The proposed project will improve drainage and flood prevention in peri-urban Dakar for the benefit of local residents. Public Disclosure Copy 3. Project Description The project consists of four components described in subsequent paragraphs. Component A. Flood risk mainstreaming in urban sector (total US$ 4 million including taxes and contingencies). Component A will comprise three sub-components: (i) Urban planning and management aiming to integrate stormwater flood risks into local and national urban planning and management tools to ensure short- and medium-term flood prevention and decreased vulnerability; (ii) Institutional strengthening of national government departments and municipalities of greater Dakar through development and implementation of a module- based training program to address flood risk management and urban climate change adaptation; (iii) the development of a future larger Integrated urban stormwater management and climate change adaptation program. Component B. Drainage investments and management (total US$ 66.5 million including taxes and contingencies). Component B will comprise two sub-components: (i) Drainage infrastructure investments, and (ii) Operation and maintenance of drainage systems. The component aims to establish a primary (and in some areas secondary) drainage system in the districts of Pikine and Guédiawaye; to be done in two investments phases and to ensure its effective operation and maintenance through clear institutional responsibilities and adequate financial, technical and human capacity. The first priority investment tranche compliant with the Drainage Master Plan under preparation, will cover 3 sites (Dalifort, Wakhinane Nimzat and Niety Mbar, Bagdad and Keur Massar Village). The first tranche would include in one of the sites (Wakhinane and Niety Mbar) additional basic urban rehabilitation such as access road improvement, including road connections as a pilot that could be scaled up within forthcoming urban development programs. The exact scope of the following investment tranche two is pending completion and validation of the detailed Drainage Investment Plan. Component C. Community engagement in urban flood-risk reduction and adaptation to climate change (total US$ 6.3 million including taxes and contingencies). Component C will comprise two sub-components: (i) Flood resilience awareness, communication and community capacity-building, and (ii) Flood risk-reduction sub-projects. The component aims to increase local and national awareness of flood prevention and adaptation measures and to engage municipalities, local residents, associations and support groups within Pikine and Guédiawaye in the project supported preventive measures and responses to reduce the risk of recurrent floods. The component will develop an information, education and communication (IEC) strategy and media support tools targeting national as well as local stakeholders focusing on storm water management and flood prevention, Page 1 of 5 preparedness and response and awareness raising promoting stronger resilience. Implementation of this strategy at local level will be done by selected non-governmental “social facilitators�. Throughout project duration, theses social facilitators will carry out a highly consultative and participatory process involving local stakeholders, communities and committees to accompany the larger infrastructure investments under component B, to ensure community participation and engagement in IEC measures, in local operation and maintenance as well as to assist with implementation of urban climate change resilience activities planned for under the communal action plans. The facilitators will further assist with the development, implementation and monitoring of flood risk reduction pilot sub-projects under MDA’s supervision. A specific sub-projects manual will be included in the project’s implementation manual. Public Disclosure Copy Component D. Project coordination, management, monitoring and evaluation (US$ 9.3 million including taxes and contingencies). Component D will comprise two sub-components: (i) Project coordination and management, and (ii) Monitoring and evaluation. It aims to provide efficient and effective management support for project implementation and monitoring and evaluation. The project has been shortlisted as candidate for a Bank-internal impact evaluation process and adequate resources will be made available. This will be achieved by supporting the MDA with adequate technical and fiduciary staffing, operational support and equipment and guided by a detailed project implementation manual and M&E plan. 4. Project location and salient physical characteristics relevant to the safeguard analysis (if known) The project will cover the peri-urban areas of Dakar, and mainly the District of Pikine and Guediawaye. 5.

Safeguard Policies Triggered Yes No Explanation Environmental Assessment OP/BP 4.01 ✖ The project is categorized A due to the potential adverse environmental and social impacts of the civil works associated with the construction of the drainage infrastructure with the option to change it to a Category B depending on the findings and recommendations of the technical feasibility study and environmental and social impact assessment carried out during project preparation. The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) of the Local Authority Development Project (urban project) will be revised and updated for the overall project and will fully apply for the pilot investments under component C. Concerning the dranage investments (component B), an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will be prepared. These environmental safeguards instruments of ESMF, ESIA and EMP will be disclosed in-country and at the Info-shop prior to appraisal. Public Disclosure Copy Natural Habitats OP/BP 4.04 ✖ OP/BP 4.04 is triggered due to interventions in four basins. However, the investments have been selected to avoid critical habitats in conformity with the guidelines of the OP/BP 4.04. The project activities would not result in any significant conversion or degradation of critical natural habitats. Further, there will be no biodiversity loss through conversion of natural habitats in the four basins. Forests OP/BP 4.36 ✖ Pest Management OP 4.09 ✖ OP/BP 4.09 is triggered because the retention basins that will be put in place as part of the drainage system might need to be treated in order to control water borne diseases. Although the project would not finance these products, the project might promote the purchase and use of anti vector insecticides by the Government services in charge of malaria control and hygiene and sanitation. How these anti vector insecticides would be properly used including training on usage is contained as an annex in the ESMF. Physical Cultural Resources OP/BP 4.11 ✖ OP/BP 4.11 is triggered and the ESMF states that if cultural resources are found during civil work a ‘chance find’ procedures will launched in accordance with national regulation and OP/BP 4.11. Indigenous Peoples OP/BP 4.10 ✖ Involuntary Resettlement OP/BP 4.12 ✖ The policy is triggered as there is the likelihood that infrastructural investments might lead to resettlement of households; in particular to those living where the drainage channels will be built. There is also the possibility of restriction of access to sources of livelihood during civil works. The existing Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) of the Local Authority Development Project (urban project will be revised and updated for the overall project and will fully apply for the pilot investments under component C. Concerning the drainage investments (component B), a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be prepared. These social safeguards instruments of RPF and RAP will be disclosed in-country and at the Info shop prior to appraisal. Safety of Dams OP/BP 4.37 ✖ Page 2 of 5 6.

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 project is designed to have beneficial impacts on the population in terms of reduced vulnerability to flooding and improved livelihoods conditions. The project is categorized A because of the potential adverse environmental and social impacts of the civil works related to the construction of the drainage infrastructures in particular, in areas where they were non-existent. Five safeguard policies are triggered: Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01); Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04); Pest Management (OP/BP 4.09); Physical Cultural Resources (OP/ BP 4.11) and Involuntary Resettlement (OB/BP 4.12). The drainage investments will take into account the existing settlements and be designed / selected in order to minimize the resettlement of residents, mainly those living where the drainage channel will be built. During civil works, they might be loss of land or restriction of access to sources of livelihood. The environmental impact associated with the construction and operation of the stormwater drainage system and the pilot projects is expected to be moderate because the existing environment is already largely degraded. The environmental impact associated with the construction and operation of the stormwater drainage system and the pilot projects is expected to be moderate because the existing environment is already largely degraded. 2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area: No potential indirect or long term or cumulative impacts are foreseen during project implementation. 3. Describe any project alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts. The first phase drainage investments covering the basins of Dalifort; Wakhinane and Niety Bar; and Keur Massar have been identified and interventions have been carefully selected to avoid resettlement of persons and limit restriction to assets or sources of livelihood. 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. Three instruments have been prepared: (i) An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for first phase drainage investments, (ii) an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and (iii) a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) and will be used for implementation purposes; in particular these frameworks will fully apply to the second phase of investments under component B and micro- project planned under component C. Since the project includes land use planning aspects, the project task team will ensure that appropriate consultations with project stakeholders will be carried out and the capacity building of key local and governmental agencies and institutions responsible for planning will be build, in order to mainstream flood risks in land use planning and management. This is consistent with the Public Disclosure Copy Bank’s Interim Guidance Note on Land use Planning. Public consultations have been held on the project and safeguards instruments. These safeguards instruments have been reviewed, approved and disclosed in-country and on infoshop. OP/BP 4.04 is triggered on a precautionary basis due to interventions in four basins. However, the investments have been selected to avoid critical habitats in conformity with the guidelines of the OP/BP 4.04. The project activities would not result in any significant conversion or degradation of critical natural habitats. Further, there will be no biodiversity loss through conversion of natural habitats in the four basins. OP/BP 4.09 is triggered because the temporary retention basins that will be put in place as part of the drainage system might need to be treated in order to control water borne diseases. Although the project would not finance these products, the project might promote the purchase and use of anti vector insecticides by the Government services in charge of malaria control and hygiene and sanitation. How these anti vector insecticides would be properly used including training on usage is contained as an annex in the ESMF. OP/BP 4.11 is triggered because the project may affect physical cultural resources. The ESMF states that if cultural resources are found during civil work a ‘chance finds’ procedures will launched in accordance with national regulation and OP/BP 4.11. The ESIA and ESMF contain draft Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) acceptable to the Bank that specify mitigation measures for various potential adverse impacts in the pre-construction, construction and operation phases of the project. Funds for implementing the ESMPs are also included in the project cost estimates. As the project may result in land acquisition/involuntary resettlement, an RPF has been prepared. It includes guidance for compensation and resettlement assistance measures, as well as provisions for consultation and grievance redress. The first phase of drainage investments covering the basins of Dalifort; Wakhinane and Niety Bar; Keur Massar village has been identified and interventions have been carefully selected to avoid resettlement of persons and limit restriction to assets or sources of livelihood. As a result only loss of revenues and land are expected, as indicated in the RPF. An Abbreviated RAP (ARAP) will be prepared, and disclosed before effectiveness once the detailed engineering studies have been completed. The ARAP could not be prepared before appraisal because the exact locations and alignments of the drainage channels and retentions basins will only be known when the detailed engineering studies, which include complex hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, will be completed (before effectiveness). These studies require strong modeling due to the complex hydrologic and hydraulic system, before effectiveness. The ARAP will include any necessary mitigation measures to be implemented. For phase 2, limited resettlement (around 224 households) and loss of revenues are expected. A RAP will be developed to identify impacts of the drainage works, necessary mitigation measures such as compensations of affected households resulting from unforeseen land acquisition. In addition the awareness raising and communication strategy developed under component C will be implemented with the participation of all Page 3 of 5 actors including local communities and will also be designed in order to facilitate the resettlement process. The Municipal Development Agency (MDA), which is the executing agency of the project is experienced in safeguard policies in line with existing country legislation and World Bank procedures. MDA has already prepared and implemented successfully an Environmental and Social Management Framework and a Resettlement Policy Framework for large urban investments with potential environmental and social impacts under the Local Authority Development Project. The MDA, the Senegalese Environment Agency, the participating enterprises and supervising consultants have been given well defined roles in the different instruments to ensure that environmental and social safeguards guidelines Public Disclosure Copy including occupational, health and safety guidelines. The MDA will also ensure that all bidding documents and contracts have the environmental and social management clauses to tie the enterprises and supervising consultants on the need to adhere to sustainable environment, social, health, and safety guidelines during civil works. 5. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanisms for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. The key stakeholders are the Ministries (and their relevant agencies/departments) in charge of urban development, habitat, hydraulics, drainage and sanitation; environment and protection of nature; and local development and decentralization; the municipalities of Pikine and Guediawaye, participating communities, NGOs and other relevant institutions. All the relevant bodies have been adequately informed of the Project. Concerns of the communities and some details of consultations have been provided as Annexes in the ESIA, ESMF and RPF. Most of the people have been affected by floods for many years, and they welcome the project. The key concerns raised during the consultation process include the lack of involvement of population in project activities, the risk of clogging of drainage channel by solid wastes, weak O&M that could affect the performance of the system, resettlement without compensation, and delay in project implementation. All these concerns have been addressed in project design mainly through a strong participatory process in project, the construction of closed channels in densely populated areas and support to a sustainable O&M system. Resettlement procedures will comply with OP 4.12. The first investment tranche is expected to start soon after effectiveness. One of the key principles of this project from the outset was to foster participation of all relevant stakeholders. This approach will be sustained throughout project implementation. The environmental and social assessment studies, namely the ESIA, ESMF and RPF, were also carried out according to the same principle, using broad-based public consultation approach, involving the above stakeholder groups. The objective was to raise awareness of project activities and impacts and foster ownership on their part. B.
