The community seeks the assistance of CSDP to fund the project. Based on the environmental and social checklist screening carried out in the area, this micro project is classified as a category B project. The screening result shows that this micro project is envisaged to have minimal environmental and social impacts resulting from the construction activities and wastes. But these are site specific and limited in scope, and can be readily addressed through mitigation measures contained in this ESMP. Beneficial Impacts The beneficial impacts of this micro project include but not limited to the following:  Improvement of sanitation and hygiene and reduce the incidences of water borne diseases.  Reduction in the time it takes to get water by mainly women and children  Reduction in the cost of buying water from vendors Negative Impacts The negative or adverse impacts of this micro project at the implementation stage are as follow:  Water logging and run-off may result from water wastage by children playing with the pump;  Waste water around the facility may become stagnant and a breeding factor for mosquitoes thereby increasing the incidences of malaria fever  The use of the hand pump by the community members on daily basis will be accompanied by generation and poor handling of solid waste  Impatience at the borehole queue by community members may result to annoyance and fighting  There may be vandalizing of the installation  There may be poor water quality (salinity, PH and odour) as a result of non-compliance to drilling specification by the contractor To mitigate the minimal adverse potential impacts, an ESMP is prepared which include impact, mitigations and monitoring measures, cost implications which are all in this document. Also, capacity need and training requirements and cost implications were prepared. The overall cost of implementing the ESMP is as follows: Page 4 CSDP-ESMP 2016 Cost Item Responsibility Cost Estimate in (USD) Estimate(N) Mitigation - - Monitoring CDA, CPMC, SA 340,000 1700 Training & Capacity Consultant 450,000 2250 Building Sub-Total 790,000 3950 Management (20%) SA 79,000 395 Contingency (10%) 79,000 395 Total 948,000 4740 Page 5 CSDP-ESMP 2016 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Federal Government of Nigeria has received financing from the World Bank (WB) for implementing a 2-year World Bank Assisted Additional Financing (AF) of Community and Social Development Project (CSDP). The thrust of the Community and Social Development Project (CSDP) is to contribute to the realization of the Nigerian government’s strategy for poverty reduction by improving the welfare and living conditions of many poor and vulnerable communities in most states of Nigeria. The project has the objective to increase access by the poor to improved social and natural resources infrastructure services in a sustainable manner throughout Nigeria. This will be achieved through the provision of grant support to benefiting Communities for the implementation of community-driven micro projects under approved Community Development Plan (CDP). To commence State-level implementation of the additional financing, the Project intends to use part of the proceeds for consultancy services for the review/upgrade of Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and prepare Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) for the participating States in the North East Geopolitical Zone. 1.2 CSDP Project Development Objectives and Components The initial consultation suggest that the Project Development Objective (PDO) for the CSDP AF will remain unchanged as the original PDO- “to sustainably increase access of poor people to social and natural resource infrastructure services�, but the key performance indicators (KPIs) will be revised. The CSDP AF KPIs will put some emphasis on support to vulnerable and disenfranchised household and individuals expand scope of assistance to such households beyond public goods (schools, health center, water etc.). It will also include demand side support i.e. a safety net. The use of a community managed approach and emphasis on local government active partnership with community groups will be retained and strengthened during CSDP AF period. The new emphasis on safety net will result in an additional component, for ‘vulnerable groups’ transfers, to the original design. In essence, the additional financing will now have 4 components:  Component 1: Coordination and Program Support Component (Federal and State Level)  Component 2: LGA/Sectoral Ministries Capacity and Partnership building Component  Component 3: Community-Driven Investment Component  Component 4: Vulnerable Groups livelihood investment grants/transfers component. Page 6 CSDP-ESMP 2016 1.3 Environmental Classification and Rationale for Preparing an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) As part of the credit agreement with the World Bank, projects supported by Bank’s funding are usually subjected to safeguard screening to determine the environmental and social risk before approval. The environmental and social checklist screening carried out in the field is consistent with the ESMF classification of the CSDP micro-projects as a category B project. The screening result shows that this micro project is envisaged to have minimal environmental and social impacts resulting from the construction activities and wastes. But these are site specific and limited in scope, and can be readily addressed through mitigation measures This ESMP is therefore prepared to set out site specific mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during implementation to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them or reduce them to acceptable levels. 1.4 Objectives of the ESMP The main objective of this ESMP is to review and update the environmental and social checklist prepared for the micro-project and document the actions necessary to prevent or minimize predicted negative impacts of the sub-project during project implementation. Specifically, this ESMP is designed to ensure the following:  Identify potential impacts that may occur during implementation stage of the various project activities;  Develop detailed specific mitigation measures with relevant costs implication that will need to be achieved during and after sub-project implementation;  Specify responsibilities and institutional arrangement that will be put in place to ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented  Integrating environment fully into the various activities of the proposed project and ensuring inclusion of environmental requirements into tender documents, continuing management and evaluation of the environmental performance of the micro-project.  Providing detailed design criteria for specific mitigation measures to be implemented. Page 7 CSDP-ESMP 2016  Tracking to ensure the effectiveness of the mitigation measures at meeting the discharge standards.  Provide implementation and monitoring schedule Page 8 CSDP-ESMP 2016 CHAPTER 2: MICRO PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS 2.1 Micro Project Description The micro-project of priority as identified by Wade community is the construction of Motorized boreholes. The need for water supply is critical to the community which it believes will help in the improvement of sanitation and hygiene and reduce the incidences of water borne diseases. Wade community is located in Deba LGA of Gombe state and has a population of about 3,800 people. Common crops grown are Guinea corn, Maize, Rice, Groundnut, Cassava, Millet, and cowpea while the remaining 20% rear animals like cattle, Goats and Poultry. 2.2 Beneficial Impacts The beneficial impacts of this micro project include but not limited to the following:  Improvement of sanitation and hygiene and reduce the incidences of water borne diseases.  Reduction in the time it takes to get water by mainly women and children  Reduction in the cost of buying water from vendors 2.3 Negative Impacts The negative or adverse impacts of this micro project at the implementation stage are as follow:  Water logging and run-off may result from water wastage by children playing with the pump;  Waste water around the facility may become stagnant and a breeding factor for mosquitoes thereby increasing the incidences of malaria fever  The use of the hand pump by the community members on daily basis will be accompanied by generation and poor handling of solid waste  Impatience at the borehole queue by community members may result to annoyance and fighting  There may be vandalizing of the installation  There may be poor water quality (salinity, PH and odour) as a result of non-compliance to drilling specification by the contractor Page 9 CSDP-ESMP 2016 2.4 Mitigation Measures Necessary and specific mitigation measures to the identified adverse impacts are described in the ESMP matrix that follows in the next section. Page 10 CHAPTER 3: POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN In line with the TOR, this ESMP is to mitigate the adverse impacts at the implementation/operation phase since construction activities have been completed. It details the identified impacts, mitigation measures, responsibility for implementation and cost amongst others. The sub-section after the ESMP matrix is the monitoring arrangement to ensure effective implementation and delivery of project development objectives. 3.1 ESMP and Monitoring Matrix Impact Mitigation measures Method Monitoring Responsibility Time frame Cost estimate identification of Monitoring Measures/Indicat (N) ors For Mitigation For monitoring Water logging of the -Provide for baseline Site inspection - Report of site CPMC, SA CPMC, SA After construction 50,000 premises may cause drainage from battery of tap condition erosion and also can to channel runoff to main be a breeding factor drainage for mosquito vector -Ensure that the premises is Daily always tidy Generation and Sensitize the community and Sensitization - Dates and reports CPMC, SA, GO CPMC, SA, Twice before 50,000 poor handling of ensure that indiscriminate of sensitization GO operation waste disposal is not allowed solid waste within the premises Encourage proper waste management culture Risk of vandalizing -Ensure that the hand pumps - Site Evidence of CPMC, SA CPMC, SA 50,000 of installation are not installed in an area inspection specified location Daily that provides hideout of the facility or opportunity for vandals, but surveillance if so provide community arrangement surveillance Risk of shunting and -There should be a rule to Site inspection CPMC,SA,GO CPMC, SA, 50,000 fighting penalize those who shunt or -Number of GO -During operation violate queue rules complaints -Number of CSDP-ESMP 2016 persons penalized Poor water -Ensure strict supervision and Quality -Evidence of safe CPMC, SA, GO CPMC, SA, Monthly 140,000 quality due to quality assurance from the assurance water drinking GO non-compliance contractor monitoring water via water Monitor water quality sample monitoring to drilling specification by the contractor Total (Mitigation) 340,000 3.2 Capacity Building Need and Targets CSDP has not carried out training on staff implementing safeguards and monitoring since 2009, even as most of the staff that once received training in2009 have either retired from service or have been redeployed.
