Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Executive Summary Introduction Climate-related hazards pose a significant threat to economic and social development in Sri Lanka. The 2019 Global Climate Risk Index Report, launched at the Climate Summit in Katowice (COP 24), ranks Sri Lanka second among the countries most affected by extreme weather events. During the 2010 to 2018 period, 13.7 million people were affected by floods and 11.7 million by droughts. Available data shows an increasing trend in the frequency of flood occurrences in many parts of Sri Lanka, with 87 percent of Sri Lanka’s population living in moderate or severe hotspots1. Sri Lanka’s economy is also severely affected by extreme weather events, and as per current estimates, by 2050, potential impacts due to climate change are foreseen to lead to as much as 1.2 percent loss of annual GDP. To support the GoSL’s commitment and strategy relating to flood risk mitigation and enhancing resilience in prioritized basins, a Climate Resilience Multi Phased Programmatic Approach (CRes MPA) will be implemented in three Phases over a period of eight years, with objectives as follows: • Phase I (Flood Early Warning and Upper Kelani Basin Flood Risk Mitigation Project, US US$326 million): To enhance the capacity of the GoSL to deliver improved weather and climate forecasting and early warning system, and to reduce flood risks in the lower Kelani basin (Hanwella to Kaduwela); • Phase II (Kelani Basin Flood Risk Mitigation Project, US$169 million): To reduce flood risks in the lower Kelani basin (Hanwella to river mouth); • Phase III (Basin Flood Risk Mitigation and Reservoir Project, US$295 million): To reduce flood risks in the upstream Kelani and lower Mundeni basins. It is envisaged that such a multi-phased approach will allow the GoSL to make required investments capable of assuring protection up to a 1 in 100-year return period event in the Kelani basin while allowing for greater adaptability through a forward-looking learning agenda. Phase I of the MPA: Flood Early Warning and Lower Kelani Flood Risk Mitigation Project To enhance the capacity of the GoSL to deliver improved weather and climate forecasting and early warning and to reduce flood risks in the lower Kelani basin (Hanwella to Kaduwela), interventions under Phase I includes: (i) comprehensive structural and non-structural flood risk mitigation investments in the Kelani basin (Hanwella to Kaduwela); (ii) modernization of hydro-meteorological information and services, forecasting and early warning systems and improved dissemination of weather, climate and hydrological forecasts, and warnings and advisory information to key end-users and communities through continuous institutional strengthening; and (iii) development of a real-time flood operational guidelines and establishment of institutional arrangements and capacity for early warning and flood risk management. Phase I of the MPA has five main components and will be implemented over a period of five years: • Component 1: Flood Forecasting and Early Warning in Priority Basins (US$ 47.4M); 1South Asia’s Hotspots, The World Bank, Spring 2018 (https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/28723/33179.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=) 5 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • Component 2: Flood Mitigation Investments in the lower Kelani Basin (US$ 204M)2; • Component 3: Land Acquisition, Resettlement Assistance, and Safeguards Implementation (US$ 65M); • Component 4: Project Management (US$ 5M); • Component 5: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) (US$ 5M). Objective of the SMF The purpose of this Social Management Framework (SMF) is to outline a framework for preparing site- specific/sub-project specific social assessments and management plans to ensure that the social risks and potential impacts associated with each phase and components of the MPA are identified, and all the key principles and policy requirements for the sound management of these risks and impacts are in place to ensure that the programme is carried out in a sustainable manner, and in accordance with the national as well as World Bank’s social safeguards policies. It is envisaged that the investments under Phase I will have to comply with the World Bank’s Operational Policies, OP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment), OP 4.11 (Physical Cultural Heritage), and OP 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement). However, since the detailed preparation of Phase II is expected to start in 2019, Phase II will have to comply with the World Bank’s newly introduced Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) and Environmental and Social Standards (ESS).In addition to this SMF, a separate Environmental Assessment and Management Framework (EAMF) and a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) have been prepared as part of the safeguards instruments to be adopted under the Project. Prevailing Socio-Economic Conditions Project Area: The Kelani River Basin area covers seven Districts, 38 Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSDs), and 1,091 Grama Niladhari Divisions (GNDs), on 234,010 hectares of land area. Although there are 1,091 GNDs in the Kelani River Basin area, only 98 GNDs of the 13 DSDs of Colombo, Gampaha, and Kegalle Districts are affected by the MPA. Land Use Patterns: Colombo lies in the Kelani river basin and is the largest commercial and administrative hub of the country. Significant climatic and topographic variation is observed throughout the watershed resulting in entirely different land use systems. The upper catchment area is more rural and is used primarily for plantation and agricultural land, and the lower catchment area is built-up land with modern towns and cities. Notably, except for areas near Colombo, large scale human settlement activities did not take place in this area for a long time due to flood risks; but this situation has changed during the last three or four decades with the establishment of the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in the area, declaration of Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte as the Administrative Capital of the country, and the construction of factories and warehouses surrounding the FTZ. Changes in land use 2 This component will finance the flood mitigation investments in the lower Kelani basin between Hanwella and Kaduwela for approximately 15 km. The investments will include: (i) construction of flood embankments along the main river; (ii) river bank protection and river training works; (iii) installation of pumps and gates for tributary flood; and (iv) replacement of the existing salinity barrier at Ambatale with a permanent gated structure. The remaining flood protection works from Kaduwela to the sea outfall and upstream of Hanwella up to Ranwala will be financed under Phase II. 6 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 from agriculture to industrial, commercial and residential activities, has mostly been haphazard thus leading to heavy property damage even after a minor flood and other extreme weather events. Characteristics of the Households: Approximately 76,300 households are estimated to be living in the impacted area of the Kelani River Basin which constitutes 15% of the total number of households in the respective DSDs of the various districts. The highest percentage of individuals in the project area represent the age group of 35-59 years (32%) but dependent population, comprising children below four years old and elders above 60 years old, constitutes a significant, 21% of the population. In terms of religion and ethnicity, the area is predominantly Sinhalese (81%), followed by Tamils (10%), and Sri Lanka Moors (8%). Likewise, 72% of the population are Buddhists followed by 9% Muslims, 6% Hindus and 10% Roman Catholic. While the Sinhala/Buddhist culture dominates the basin area, impacts of the Tamil/Hindu culture is more pronounced in the plantation areas, and through relatively small, the impacts of Islamic culture are very strong in the areas where the Muslims live. Socio-Economic Status of Households: The majority (approximately 97%) of the population is educated, and only 3% have no schooling/formal education attainment. More than 43% of the households derive their income from wage earnings, 4% from agriculture, and 54% from non- agricultural activities. The average income in the project affected district is higher than the national average presumably due to the commercial and industrial activities in the area. Yet, 18% of the total households in the impacted area are Samurudhi beneficiaries. Gender and Vulnerability: While the status of women, especially in terms of education attainment and labor force participation rate in the project area is comparable to the national data, women are more vulnerable to the consequences of natural disasters compared to men due to differences in employment status, income, gendered social roles, social norms, and restrictions governing their behavior. Likewise, vulnerable groups in the project area comprise: women-headed households, persons below the poverty level, the unemployed population, population who did not attend schools, differently abled population, children below four years old, and the elderly. Commercial, Industrial and Other Development Activities: Altogether, there are 9,777 industries and 2,666 registered commercial units in the impacted area of the Kelani River Basin. The river basin is also famous for gem and sand mining and clay extraction, though most of these extractions, particularly sand mining, are illegal and cause heavy damage to river embankments, the river bed, and even to water extraction facilities. Major ongoing development interventions in the basin area include flood protection works (dykes, bunds and gates), expansion of roads network, water intake structures, urban housing schemes, and drainage systems. Project related impacts The MPA, via its three consecutive but overlapping phases, is expected to bring overall positive social and environmental benefits to the programme areas by ensuring a holistic and sound system for the management of floods and climate change related impacts. Positive impacts of the MPA include: (i) more accurate and timely weather and flood forecasting; (ii) enhanced inter-agency co-ordination; (iii) a service-delivery business model approach; (iv) better decision-making of government and citizens before and during disasters; and (v) increased protection of people and assets. Each phase and the overall programme will generate social and economic benefits as per the GoSL’s vision to protect life and assets while transitioning to a middle-income country status. However, construction of new infrastructure and the upgrading of existing ones under the MPA are likely to result in significant social impacts that will need to be mitigated during the design and implementation phases of the investments. Project interventions, including the construction of flood 7 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 embankments and the reservoirs in the mid-upper catchment, will require some acquisition of private land and the displacement of people that have encroached onto the Irrigation Department reservation3 alongside the Kelani river. As mentioned under Component 3 of Phase I of the MPA, one of the objectives of land acquisition and resettlement financed under the project is to enhance the safety and security of communities living along the riverbanks from the perennial risks of floods and other extreme weather events but adverse impacts on households and businesses due to land acquisition and other project-related activities will be significant. Notable will be disruption on the activities of large and small-scale industries, commercial units, and agriculture and plantation sectors, which will also lead to loss of income, livelihood and employment for households dependent on these sectors. Likewise, impacts on existing infrastructure and facilities, including roads located close to the riverbank, water treatment plants, electricity supply, water supply lines, etc., and community resources such as bathing sites, public water facilities, etc., are also envisaged. Sites of cultural, archaeological and religious significance, including the prominent ones like the Kelaniya temple, Thalwatta temple, the Kovil at Peliyagoda, and the “Red Church” at Biyagama, will also be affected. While there are no indigenous communities located in the intervention areas, vulnerable persons and households such as women-headed households, those living below the poverty line, households with disabled family members, may suffer disproportionately due to resettlement and/or loss of livelihoods. Construction works is also likely cause rapid migration to and settlement of workers and ‘followers’ in the project area which can lead to increased risks of social conflict, illicit behaviour, burden on and competition for public service provision, risk of communicable diseases, and gender- based violence, particularly in the form of inappropriate behaviour on the part of the laborers. Similarly, construction-related impacts such as traffic congestion, dust, noise, vibration are common issues that are likely to affect families/persons living in the immediate vicinity of the construction sites. Policy, Regulatory and Institutional Framework Sri Lanka has a complex legal system to manage land acquisition, regulate land use, address the issues of gender equality and inclusion, and consultations and information disclosure. Likewise, World Bank Operational Policies which are relevant to the project include: OP/BP 4.01: Environment Assessment, OP/BP 4.12: Involuntary Resettlement and World Bank Environmental and Social Framework. While some gaps exist between the GoSL’s national legislation and systems, and the World Bank’s requirements, all activities under the MPA will be consistent with the legal/regulatory framework of Sri Lanka and aligned with the World Bank policies and guidelines. Gender and Inclusion Issues relating to gender, vulnerability, and inclusion will be considered from various perspectives within the context of the MPA and this SMF, including: (i) gender-sensitive analysis and identification of risks and benefits associated with activities under the MPA; (ii) Project-specific gender considerations to enhance benefits to women, vulnerable groups, and local community members; (iii) measures for ensuring that any risks and impacts arising from prosed interventions that have differential impacts on women and other vulnerable groups, are identified and mitigated; (iv) enhancing the voice and representation of women, especially through continuous engagement and consultations with women, and (v) gender-disaggregated monitoring indicators. 3 In the project affected area this reservation has not been properly demarcated. 8 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Specifically, as part of the implementation plan, a detailed baseline analysis will be carried out to understand how communities obtain climate and disaster related information, and how these different communities, including women, people with disabilities, the elderly, or any other such vulnerable groups, can be effectively informed about such information availed through the MPA. Based on the findings of the assessment, an action plan for addressing inclusion issues, including gender, will be prepared. Activities to enhance gender considerations into the MPA include: information focused information dissemination and awareness raising for female citizen on flood early warning and impact-based forecasting; support for the preparation of community disaster management plan in the project sites; use of citizens’ monitoring committees that review and follow up on quality, safety, and progress aspects of the interventions; options for women to have joint ownership or independent ownership of the land and house among the resettled households; orientation trainings on gender for the PMU and other decision-makers; and development of a robust Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) that is sensitive to the needs of women and other vulnerable groups. Managing the Risks of Adverse Impacts from Labour Influx To address the impacts from labor influx on communities, the project will: tap into the local workforce, to the extent possible; assess and manage labour influx risks based on appropriate instruments; and incorporate social and environmental mitigation measures, including those relating to GBV, into the civil works contract. Further, it will be the contractor’s obligation to prepare and submit a plan that outlines code of conduct for workers, worker camp management plan and measures to address GBV. Prior to starting construction, the Contractor will also be required to prepare and submit its own ESMP/SIMP that will provide a detailed explanation of how the Contractor will comply with the Project’s safeguards documents, including the RAP, ESMP, and SIMP, and demonstrate that sufficient funds are budgeted for that purpose. The Contractor’s ESMP/SIMP will include management plans for: (i) work activities; (ii) traffic management; (iii) occupational health and safety; (iv) environmental management; (v) social management; (vi) labour influx and worker camp management plan; (vii) code of conduct for workers, including measures to address GBV; and (vii) chance-finds, where relevant. Social Management Planning Social management planning includes developing strategies and principles for: identifying project affected individuals, families, and communities; assessing potential social impacts of sub-projects; and suggesting measures to avoid/minimize and manage any adverse impacts. For all physical activities carried out under the Project, an Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) or a Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) that also includes monitoring indicators will be developed. Such safeguards management plans will address the relevant findings and draw on the conclusions of the screening/assessments as they relate to non-land related impacts of the project interventions. The SIMP will describe and prioritize the actions needed to implement mitigation measures, corrective actions, and monitoring measures necessary to manage the impacts and risks identified in the assessments. These actions will be costed and reflected as part of the contractual documents of the civil works contractors, wherever relevant. Further, for activities that involve land-based losses, a separate A-RAP or RAP will be prepared in accordance with the RPF developed under the Project. All the safeguards instruments prepared under the project will be reviewed and cleared by the head of the SRU and the World Bank before the start of the civil works. Consultations, Information Disclosure, Grievance Redress Mechanism Consultations were carried out in 21 Divisional Secretary Divisions (DSD), representatives from eight national agencies, and the affected community to disseminate information about the MPA, 9 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 understand the socio-economic situation in the project areas, seek inputs for the safeguards management plans, and verify the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the project. Similar consultations with affected parties and other relevant stakeholders will be carried out throughout the project cycle. During project implementation, up-to-date information will be provided on the Project website, social media and local radio and TV stations. A Public Information Booklet (PIB) will be delivered to each household in the immediately affected area which will include among others relevant information on the project and the rights of the affected people, including the compensation and rehabilitation measures, and provide information on who to contact in case of doubts or queries. The PIB will be translated into Sinhala and Tamil. A three-tiered grievance handling mechanism will be established for receiving and resolving complaints through a process of mutual understanding and consensus with the relevant parties. These would function at the local/site level (Grama Grama Niladhari level), regional level (Divisional Secretariat level), with recourse to a national-level body for appeal and for ensuring high-level government commitment, policy support, and co-ordination. The GRM for the project will be in addition to the formal legal channels for resolving unsatisfied appeals from the public. Implementation Arrangements and Monitoring The PMU set up for the MPA will be responsible for the overall social safeguards management. A Social and Resettlement Unit (SRU) will be established under the PMU that will be responsible for managing land acquisition, resettlement activities, and other social impact mitigation strategies, etc., at each stage of the project. The SRU will be adequately staffed with experienced, as well as new staff, who will be responsible for co-ordination with the relevant ministries and affected parties, and management of the day-to-day activities related to land acquisition and resettlement. Field offices will be set up at the start of the sub-projects to facilitate resettlement activities and to provide easy access for people who have concerns or grievances, or who want to discuss specific aspects of the land acquisition and resettlement programme. The field offices will be staffed by land acquisition assistants, resettlement assistants, and community development assistants from the social/resettlement unit of the PMU and may be supported by consultants. Additionally, a National Project Steering Committee (NPSC) will also be established to (i) monitor the overall implementation of ongoing sub-projects, based on progress reports; (ii) resolve problems of implementation; and (iii) co-ordinate with other national government agencies connected to project implementation. A monitoring system comprising both internal monitoring as well as external monitoring and evaluation, will be established to track the progress on social management, including land acquisition and resettlement programmes. The MIS system will be designed such that it can generate real-time consolidated reports on the land acquisition, resettlement programmes, and other type of social impact mitigation activities. The system will be housed in the offices of the PMU but will be accessible from the Project’s site offices. Consolidated reports on the progress of the land acquisition and resettlement programmes will be made available in the project website and also shared with the World Bank on a regular basis.

S/he can be a legal owner, non-titled structure owner, or tenant and will receive different compensation and Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) packages as per the Entitlement Matrix (EM). Business Owner: Any person who owns or conducts a business within the project-affected area, the operation of which may be disrupted by the construction work under the project. S/he can be a legal owner, non-titled structure owner, or tenant and will receive different compensation and R&R packages as per the EM. Census: Complete enumeration based on household questionnaire survey that covers all affected persons, irrespective of ownership and entitlement, and their assets. It can be used to minimize fraudulent claims made by people who move into the project affected area after the cut-off date has been announced in the hope of being compensated or resettled. Compensation: Payment in cash or in-kind for an asset or a resource that is acquired or affected by the project, at the time the asset needs to be replaced. Cut-off date: The cut-off date will be publicly announced and provided in all the Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs). The cut-off date for eligibility for entitlement is the date of notification under the section 2 notice of the Land Acquisition Act or the start date of the census surveys. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to claim compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. Custodians of Community: A registered association or such other legally recognized organization or committee of people managing, looking after, or responsible for the upkeep of, and liabilities relating to the land and structures in the project area. Destitute Households: Socially and economically distressed households who may suffer disproportionately due to conflict or development induced displacement. They may include women headed households, elderly-headed households, extremely poor, disabled, refugees, internally displaced people, orphans, people who are living in welfare centers, recently resettled families during the post conflict period, and others identified as case by case. Encroacher: Someone who has illegally expanded or extended the outer limit of his/her private premises beyond the approved building line or agricultural land, and has occupied public space beyond his/her plot of or agricultural/residential land. Entitlement: A variety of measures comprising compensation, income restoration, transfer assistance, income substitution, relocation, and other benefits which are due to affected people, depending on the nature of their losses, to restore their economic and social base. Family Card: A printed document in which details about the Affect Person (AP) and their family, type and degree of impact, and their entitlements are entered. This will be printed in duplicate. The original copy will be given to the AP and the duplicate kept in the custody of the Project Management Unit (PMU). Whenever an entitlement is granted, the AP will acknowledge receipt by signing on the card as having received the same, for transparency and record purposes. 14 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Gender Equity: Recognition of both genders equally in terms of provision of entitlements, treatments, and other measures under the Social Management Plan (SMP) or RAP. Host Population: People living in or around areas where the people physically displaced by a project will be resettled who, in turn, may be affected by the impacts of such resettlement. Indigenous People: “Indigenous Peoples” (IP) is used in a generic sense to refer to a distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group possessing the following characteristics in varying degrees: (a) self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of this identity by others; (b) collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories; (c) customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from those of the dominant society and culture; and (d) an indigenous language, often different from the official language of the country or region. Social Assessment carried out under the MPA confirmed that there are no IP communities that live in the selected areas for project interventions. Involuntary Resettlement: Resettlement is involuntary when it occurs without the consent of the displaced persons or if they give their consent without having the power to refuse resettlement. Implementation Schedule: Timeframe and sequence of activities for the project. Income Restoration: Re-establishing income sources and livelihood of people affected to a better or at least the pre-project levels. Land Lot: Portion of land that belongs to a AP, Project Affected Household (PAH), or government institution. The Department of Surveys defines a lot as the basic unit of land after demarcation of the boundaries. Land Owners: Owners of land with or without trees, crops, or structures affixed to the land with clear title in government records. In some exceptional cases, a person who owns land/s is within the project- affected areas regardless of proof of such ownership will also be entitled, provided that such ownership is recognized under law. In such cases, special decisions will be taken by the responsible authority in consultation with the local authority, and the community. Livelihood: A means of living such as agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing, wage labour, services of various types, trade, etc. Non-Resident Land and Structure Owners: Legal land owners who are not in possession of their land either because they have rented or leased out their said land and property affixed to it, or such land has been taken possession of by any other person. Operational Policy (OP) 4.12: The objective of the World Bank’s OP. 4.12 on ‘Involuntary Resettlement’ is to avoid or minimize involuntary resettlement, and where it is not feasible, assist displaced persons in improving or at least restoring their livelihoods and standards of living in real terms relative to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. Project Affected Household (PAH): Any household or a family that faces an impact as a result of the implementation of the project, subproject activity, etc., loses the right to own, use or otherwise benefit from a built structure, land (residential, agricultural, commercial), annual or perennial crops and trees, or any other fixed or movable assets, either in full or in part, permanently or temporarily that could affect the household’s livelihood/economic status. 15 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Project Affected Household Head (PAHH): Any person who is representing the head of family or household, as a result of the implementation of subproject, etc., loses the right to own, use or otherwise benefit from a built structure, land (residential, agricultural, commercial), annual or perennial crops and trees, or any other fixed or movable assets, either in full or in part, permanently or temporarily that could affect the households’ livelihood/economic status. Protected Tenants: Tenants occupying a legal property (commercial or residential) and are protected under the Rent Act of 1972 or its later amendments, which prevents the land owners from evicting them or increasing the rent at their own will. Relocation: Rebuilding and/or reallocating housing and assets, including productive land and public infrastructure, in another location. Rehabilitation: Re-establishing incomes, livelihoods, living, and integration within the social system. Replacement Value/Cost: The replacement value is the cost that is adequate to purchase similar property of same quality in the open market and cover transaction cost. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation is not taken into account. For losses that cannot be easily valued or compensated, attempts are made to establish access to equivalent and culturally appropriate resources and earning opportunities. Under the project, the rate of compensation for lost land and assets will be calculated at full replacement cost. Resettlement: A process to assist the displaced people and communities to replace their lost land, houses, and assets; restore access to assets and services; and improve their socio-economic and cultural conditions. It includes settlement of displaced people on buildable land or houses/ apartments in the same (and if not, similar and nearby) locality with barrier-free access to basic amenities. New settlement schemes in the context of development projects following restoration of law and order, including restoration of livelihoods, incomes, and assets bases and assistance to rebuild life after being resettled, are also included in resettlement. Resettlement Action Plan (RAP): The document in which a project sponsor or other responsible entity specifies the procedures that it will follow and the actions it will take to mitigate adverse effects, compensate losses, and provide development benefits to persons and communities affected by an investment project. Resettlement Assistance: Support provided to people who are physically displaced by a project. Assistance may include transportation, food, shelters, and social services that are provided to affected people during their relocation. Assistance may also include cash allowances that compensate affected people for the inconvenience associated with resentment and defray the expenses of a transition to a new locale, such as moving expenses and lost works days. Resident Land and Structure Owners: Owners with clear title deeds for the land and structures which they are currently occupying for their own use, residential, commercial, cultural, or religious purposes. Stakeholders: Individuals, groups, organizations, and institutions interested in and potentially affected or benefitting from a project, some of whom may also have the ability to influence a project positively or negatively. Squatter: Someone who has occupied public or private land, developed structures on it, and put such land into residential, agricultural, or commercial use without obtaining development permission and formal title under law. 16 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Sub Families: Second or third family living in the same house registered under the same or separate register of electors at least three years prior to the date of the order published under the section 2 notice of land acquisition under the LAA. Tenants and Lessees: Occupants that have legally taken any land or properties or both on rent or lease for a specific period, with registered papers recording agreed terms and conditions of the tenancy and/or leasehold as permitted under the law. Vulnerable Groups: People who, by virtue of gender, ethnicity, age, physical or mental disability, economic disadvantage, or social status, may be more adversely affected by resettlement than others and who may be limited in their ability to claim or take advantage of resettlement assistance and related development benefits. This category specifically refers to families supported by women and not having able bodied male members who can earn; families of physically or mentally challenged, very old, and infirm persons, who are not able to earn sufficiently to support the family; and families that are very poor and recognized by the government as living below the poverty line. 17 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 1 Introduction to the Climate Resilience Multi-Phase Approach 1.1 Introduction and background Sri Lanka is a lower middle-income country with a GDP per capita of US$ 4,065 (2017) and a total population of 21.4 million people. Following 30 years of civil war that ended in 2009, Sri Lanka’s economy grew at an average of 5.8 percent during the 2010-2017 period, although there have been some signs of a slowdown in the last few years. Despite these achievements, climate-related hazards pose a significant threat to economic and social development in Sri Lanka. The 2019 Global Climate Risk Index Report, launched at the Climate Summit in Katowice (COP 24), ranks Sri Lanka second among the countries most affected by extreme weather events. During the 2010 to 2018 period, 13.7 million people were affected by floods and 11.7 million by droughts. Historical data shows an increasing trend in the frequency of flood occurrences and their impacts (Figure 1 and 2), and a recent study4 estimated that 87 percent of Sri Lanka’s population lives in moderate or severe hotspots. Hydrological and meteorological (“hydromet”) hazards could further be exacerbated by a growing population, water scarcity, and uncontrolled urbanization, and will impose substantial costs on the national economy, disproportionately affecting the poor. In addition, the productivity of key economic sectors, such as agriculture, water resources management, transport, energy, and disaster risk management are also affected by inadequate weather, water, and climate information services. By 2050, potential impacts due to climate change are foreseen to be as 1.2 percent loss of annual GDP.

A comprehensive disaster management system has since been established and institutional mechanisms have been put in place under the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development (previously, the Ministry of Irrigation, Water Resources, and Disaster Management (MIWRDM)). In 2014, the GoSL designed the Comprehensive Climate and Disaster Resilience Programme (CCDRP), which aimed at fundamental changes and mainstreaming of disaster risk management (DRM) practices in priority sectors to improve the resilience of the country. The programme integrated two World Bank-financed lending and several technical assistance (TA) activities whose synergies maximize the overall outcomes and strengthen the resilience of Sri Lanka. Specifically, in 2014, the World Bank approved: (i) Climate Resilience Improvement Programme and (ii) Development Policy Loan with a Catastrophe Deferred Draw-Down Option (DPL with Cat-DDO) (US$ 102 million).6 To strengthen the fiscal resilience, a new Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA): Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance in Sri Lanka (P166332), and another ASA: Adaptive Social Protection System (P166770) were initiated to advance the design of a disaster-linked social protection mechanism, which would allow the GoSL to quickly identify, enroll, and compensate the disaster-affected households. While the GoSL has invested in flood-resilient infrastructure, investments have followed a piecemeal approach rather than a holistic and systemic approach to achieve substantial transformation. Accordingly, the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development (previously, MIWRDM) is currently carrying out comprehensive flood and drought risk modelling in ten river basins7 which are most vulnerable to flood and drought risks under the ongoing World Bank-funded Climate Resilience Improvement Project (CRIP), leading to the development of basin level flood and drought risk mitigation investment plans. The GoSL is also carrying out feasibility studies of the most urgent flood risk interventions recommended by the studies, namely in the Kelani and Mundeni basins. 6 The DPL with Cat DDO closed in May 2017, after the successful withdrawal of the full loan amount following the floods and landslides in 2016 (http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/674381528124689623/pdf/ICR00004342-05312018.pdf) 7 The ten river basins are Kelani ganga, Attanagalu oya, Mahaweli ganga, Malwathu oya, Gin ganga, Nilwala ganga, Kala oya, Deduru oya, Maha oya, and Gal oya. 19 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 1.2 Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) 1.2.1 Description of the MPA To support the GoSL’s commitment and strategy relating to flood risk mitigation and enhancing resilience in prioritized basins, a Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) will be implemented in three Phases over a period of eight years as follows: Phase I - Flood Early Warning and Lower Kelani Basin Flood Risk Mitigation Project (US$326 million); Phase II - Kelani Basin Flood Risk Mitigation Project (US$169 million); and Phase III - Basin Flood Risk Mitigation and Reservoir Project (US$295 million). Such a multi-phased approach will allow the GoSL to make required investments capable of assuring protection up to a 1 in 100-year return period event in the Kelani basin while allowing for greater adaptability through a forward-looking learning agenda. Each Phase of the MPA has its own Project Development Objective (PDO), which will help support and achieve the overall objective of the MPA Programme: • Phase I: To enhance the capacity of the GoSL to deliver improved weather and climate forecasting and early warning and to reduce flood risks in the lower Kelani basin (Hanwella to Kaduwela); • Phase II: To reduce flood risks in the lower Kelani basin (Hanwella to river mouth); • Phase III: To reduce flood risks in the upstream Kelani and lower Mundeni basins. Accordingly, the programme activities are structured are as follows: Phase I: Flood Early Warning and Lower Kelani Flood Risk Mitigation Project (US$ 326.4M). • Component 1: Flood Forecasting and Early Warning in Priority Basins (US$ 47.4M); • Component 2: Flood Mitigation Investments in the lower Kelani Basin (US$ 204M)8; • Component 3: Land Acquisition, Resettlement Assistance, and Safeguards Implementation (US$ 65M); • Component 4: Project Management (US$ 5M); • Component 5: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) (US$ 5M). Phase II: Kelani Basin Flood Risk Mitigation Project (US$ 169 M). • Component 1: Flood Risk Mitigation Investments in the lower Kelani Basin ctd. (US$ 164); 8 This component will finance the flood mitigation investments in the lower Kelani basin between Hanwella and Kaduwela for approximately 15 km. The investments will include: (i) construction of flood embankments along the main river; (ii) river bank protection and river training works; (iii) installation of pumps and gates for tributary flood; and (iv) replacement of the existing salinity barrier at Ambatale with a permanent gated structure. The remaining flood protection works from Kaduwela to the sea outfall and upstream of Hanwella up to Ranwala will be financed under Phase II. 20 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • Component 2: Project Management (US$ 5M); • Component 3: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) (US$ 0M). Phase III: Mundeni Basin Flood Risk Mitigation and Reservoir Project (US$ 295M). • Component 1: Flood Risk Mitigation Investment and Safeguard Compliance (US$ 40M); • Component 2: Construction of Wee Oya Reservoir (US$ 250M); • Component 3: Project Management (US$ 5M); • Component 4: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) (US$ 0M). 1.2.2 Project Description of Phase I The PDO of the first phase is to enhance the capacity of the GoSL to deliver improved weather and climate forecasting and early warning, and to reduce flood risks in the lower Kelani basin (Hanwella to Kaduwela).The PDO will be achieved through: (i) comprehensive structural and non-structural flood risk mitigation investments in the Kelani basin (Hanwella to Kaduwela); (ii) modernization of hydro- meteorological information and services, forecasting and early warning systems and improved dissemination of weather, climate and hydrological forecasts, and warnings and advisory information to key end-users and communities through continuous institutional strengthening; and (iii) developing real-time flood operational guidelines and establishing institutional arrangements and capacity for early warning and flood risk management. Phase I of the MPA has five main components and will be implemented over a period of five years. These include: Component 1: Flood Forecasting and Early Warning in Priority Basins (Total US$47.4 million; of which 100% is IBRD financing). The objective of this Component is two-fold: (i) to enhance the capability, and thereby the performance, of the Irrigation Department (ID) and the Department of Meteorology (DoM) to understand and make use of hydrological and meteorological information for decision making and; (ii) to upgrade and expand the hydrological and meteorological observation networks to ensure that these networks are well functioning and interoperable. This objective will be achieved, in line with international best practices, through investments in strengthening the institutional setup and building capacity of human resources at the ID and the DoM. The bulk of the activities in this component, however, will be the procurement and installation of goods, such as monitoring equipment and ICT, as well as the financing of a new flood forecasting center building. Component 1 has four sub- components: • Sub-Component 1.1: Modernization of the Observing, Forecasting, and Communication Systems Infrastructure (US$26.2 million); • Sub-Component 1.2: Enhancement of Service Delivery Systems (US$6.2 million); • Sub-Component 1.3: Flood and Drought Risk Modelling (US$6 million); • Sub-Component 1.4: Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building (US$9 million). 21 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Component 2: Flood Risk Mitigation Investments in the Kelani Basin (Total US$204 million; of which 100% is IBRD financing). The objective of Component 2 is to reduce flood risks in surrounding communities, personal assets, and public infrastructure in the main Kelani river and its tributaries for an approximate length of 15km between Hanwella and Kaduwela. To achieve this objective, this component will primarily support the construction of different types of embankments along the lower Kelani basin for protection against riverine floods, the construction of 15 pumping stations in tributaries, the replacement of the salinity barrier, and the detailed designs of two reservoirs upstream. These investments have been identified through a rigorous technical assessment with extensive inputs from stakeholders, including communities. Aside from the infrastructure, the Component will also help build the community resilience for those along the embankment. This will include: the development of disaster management plans by the communities with clear community roles identified and the formulation of citizens’ monitoring committees that review and follow up on quality, safety, and progress of the intervention. This Component will also take necessary actions to mitigate Gender Based Violence (GBV) risks associated with the potential influx of labourers for the civil works envisaged under this Component. Component 2 has three sub-components: • Sub-component 2.1: Construction of Flood Protection Works (US$ 45 million); • Sub-component 2.2: Installment of Pumping Stations Along the Tributaries (US$ 89 million); • Sub-component 2.3: Replacement of the Salinity Barrier (US$ 50 million); • Sub-component 2.4: Detailed Designs of Reservoirs (US$ 12 million); • Sub-component 2.5: Design and Construction Supervision and Other Necessary Services (US$ 8 million). Component 3: Land Acquisition, Resettlement Assistance, and Safeguards Implementation (Total US$65 million; of which 90% will be IBRD financing and the remaining 10% will be the GoSL contribution in the form of ownership transfer of public land affected to the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, and making available land for resettlement sites). Phase 1 of the Project identified 218 houses that will be affected; 178 of which will be fully affected houses, and 40 of which will be partially affected. The 40 partially affected houses will have to be inspected once the detailed design of the Project has been completed, in order to determine whether the houses will need to be acquired or not. In addition, 183 businesses were identified as being affected; 111 will be fully affected and 39 partially affected. The other cases comprise 21 other structures that will be affected (storehouses, etc.) and 12 plots of land without structures. Only 111 businesses will have to be relocated or compensated. The 39 partially affected buildings represent less than 10 percent of affected structures. The land acquisition in Phase 1 of the Project involves 916 parcels of land that will be affected. The total area affected is equivalent to 237.51 acres (95.004 hectares). The total affected area belonging 22 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 to the households is 155.6 acres, while 37 acres belongs to business ventures. The affected land comprises 698 plots owned by individual or joint households, 151 plots belonging to businesses, 17 state-owned land parcels, and in the remaining 50 land parcels, the ownership of the land has not been determined. The Project will also have impacts related to gender, livelihoods, public support, labour influx, including those related to GBV, and community conflict. At the same time, the Project also has the potential to benefit local populations, including from employment opportunities during construction, prevention of food risks, safety enhancement through improved flood forecasting and early warning systems for severe weather-related events, and relocation of vulnerable households to flood safe areas. Accordingly, the objective of this Component is to: (i) mitigate the adverse social impacts of the Project in terms of compensation for land and other assets, livelihood restoration of displaced households, and other resettlement and rehabilitation assistance; (ii) enhance the safety and security of communities living along the riverbanks from the perennial risks of floods and other extreme weather events; (iii) strengthen gender impacts and citizen engagement in Project activities and benefits, including as end-users of information from weather forecasting and early warning systems; and (iv) ensure effective implementation of safeguards management plans. Component 4: Project Management Support (Total US$5 million; of which 100% will be IBRD financing). The objective of this Component is to ensure the successful implementation of the activities carried out under the Project. Activities to be supported under this Component include: (i) implementation support in the areas of project management, M&E, procurement, FM, and environmental and social safeguards; (ii) monitoring compliance with environmental and social safeguards; (iii) purchase of vehicles, office furniture, and IT equipment for the PMU; (iv) incremental operating costs of the PMU; and (v) hiring of experts to reinforce the staffing of the PMU. Component 5: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) (Total US$ 5 million). This Component will support preparedness and rapid response to a natural disaster, emergency, and/or catastrophic event, as needed. Given that this is a disaster risk management project, and due to the increased occurrence of disasters, this Component is allocated with US$ 5 million to provide immediate liquidity to the GoSL in time of a disaster. In addition, the GoSL may request the World Bank to re-allocate Project funds to this Component to support response and immediate recovery efforts. 1.3 Objectives of the Social Management Framework Projects and programmes financed with World Bank resources need to comply with the World Bank’s Operational Policies. Therefore, components and related activities eligible for funding under the MPA too will be required to satisfy the World Bank’s safeguard policies, in addition to conformity with the national regulations of the GoSL. However, since details of all the sites and specific investments of the MPA are not available at this stage, except for the preliminary design for the construction of embankments in the upper reaches of the Kelani river (Component 2 of Phase I), site-specific Environmental and Social Assessments cannot be conducted. What is possible at this stage is an 23 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 identification of generic issues that are typically associated with activities that would potentially be funded under the MPA and apply the information to site specific social assessments, as and when the need arises. Therefore, the purpose of this Social Management Framework (SMF) is to outline a framework for preparing site-specific/subproject-specific social assessments and social management plans to ensure that the social risks and potential impacts associated with each phase and components of the MPA are identified, and all the key principles and policy requirements for the sound management of these risks and impacts are in place to ensure that the programme is carried out in a sustainable manner. This will serve as the basis in the preparation of site-specific specific Social Impact Assessments (SIAs) and Safeguards Management Plans (SMPs) like Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs), Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plans (ARAPs), Social Impact Management Plans (SIMPs), and/or Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs), during implementation. In addition to this SMF, a separate Environmental Assessment and Management Framework (EAMF) and a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) have been prepared as part of the safeguards instruments to be adopted under the Project. Further, as mentioned above, under Phase I of the MPA, a RAP has also been prepared for Component 2, ‘Flood Risk Mitigation Investments in the Kelani Basin,’ involving the construction of different types of embankments along the lower Kelani basin, 15 pumping stations in tributaries, and the replacement of the salinity barrier for protection against riverine floods. The objectives of this SMF are to: • Establish clear procedures and methodologies for social safeguards planning, review, approval, and implementation of sub-projects to be financed under the MPA, particularly for Phase I; • Carry out initial assessment of social impacts (both positive and negative) from the MPA investments and propose mitigation measures in light of the available information at this stage; • Specify appropriate roles and responsibilities, and outline the necessary procedures for identifying, managing, monitoring, and reporting social concerns related to sub-projects; • Determine the training, capacity building, and technical assistance needed to successfully implement the provisions of the SMF; • Provide practical resources for implementing the SMF; and • Outline and sequence safeguard activities that will commence with project implementation. Since the World Bank has in principle agreed to finance the interventions under the MPA, as described in Section 1.2, it is important that the project interventions – especially under Phases I and II – comply with the World Bank’s environment and social safeguards policies. It is envisaged that the investments under Phase I will have to comply with the World Bank’s current policies, including the Operational Policies OP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment), OP 4.11 (Physical Cultural Heritage), and OP 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement). However, since the detailed preparation of Phase II is expected to start in 2019, Phase II will have to comply with the World Bank’s newly introduced Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) and Environmental and Social Standards (ESS). 24 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 25 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 2 Prevailing Social Conditions in the Project Area 2.1 Historical context of the basin and project area The Kelani River Basin, spanning a length of more than 145 kilometres, has a very important prehistorical significance. According to historians, the presence of the Kelani river has been a source point for civilization during the long history of Sri Lanka. The basin lies between the two ancient kingdoms of Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte and the Seethawaka Kingdom, and the northern section of the basin belongs to the old Kandyan Kingdom. During the reign of Parakramabahu IX of Kotte Kingdom (1508/09 to 1529), the capital was moved to Kelaniya until 1528. There are archaeologically important sites and monuments in the river basin that date back to the early Anuradhapura era (377 BC to 1017 AD), most of which are monasteries. The river itself has been a main source of transportation, livelihood, and water supply for the communities that settled on its banks. Hanwella, the starting point for the construction of embankments under the proposed MPA, was an important site for ferry routes that went through the Kelani river. It is believed that King Mayadunne of Seethawaka kingdom made the Gurubebila Fort (also known as the Hanwella Fort) in Hanwella as a form of protection for the ferry route (Figure 3). It was subsequently occupied by the Portuguese (1597), Dutch (1684), and English (1786), and the Fort underwent rehabilitations under the different colonizers. Similarly, the Malwana Fort, at Malwana in the Gampaha District, was constructed by the Portuguese and was used by the soldiers stationed there. Later on, the Fort was occupied by the Dutch and underwent rehabilitation and subsequent abandonment as well. Figure 3: Hanwella Fort in 1736 Colombo lies in the river basin, and is the largest commercial and administrative hub of the country. ‘Kolonna thota’ (port on the Kolonne river – the old name for the Kelani river) was an important sea port due to the presence of the natural harbour, as well as its location in the ancient trade route used by the Roman, Arab, Persian, and Chinese trade sailing vessels more than 2000 years ago. Colombo saw first of its development during the era of the Kotte Kingdom, and has been one of the highly populated cities in the country ever since. The Colombo Fort was developed in the 16th century by the Portuguese to fortify their trading post and encompasses the area that now houses the major hotels and presidential palace. The area outside the Fort is now Pettah (‘Pita Kotuwa’ in Sinhala, which translates directly to ‘outer fort’). The Fort underwent sieges during the Sinhalese-Portuguese war and then was conquered by the Dutch East India Company in 1656. The Dutch rehabilitated the Fort, and it became a military strategic point for the confrontations that happened during the Sinhalese-Dutch war. Once the English conquered the Fort, Colombo was transformed into a place of administrative importance and was subsequently named the capital of Ceylon in 1815 during the Kandyan Convention. Once the new administrative legislations were established in 1978, Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte was designated as the administrative capital of Sri Lanka. Additional details about the historical, archeological, and cultural significance of the Project area are provided in the Strategic Social Assessment carried out for the MPA. 26 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 2.2 Land Use Patterns The Kelani basin can be divided into three distinct topographical units that encompass three peneplains: lower (below 100m AMSL), middle (100 to 300m AMSL), upper (above 300m AMSL)).9 This topographical variation occurring from the interior hilly terrain to coastal flat lands has resulted in the Kelani River Basin covering a range of land forms, from hillocks and ridges in its upper reaches to flood plains and coastal plains in the lower reaches. Further, the Kelani river passes through the Wet Zone of the country and is further sub divided into 10 Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZ) covering the low, mid, and up country based on elevation. Elevations of these AEZ varies from almost zero to 2000m, the mean temperature from 130C to 290C, and rainfall from 1525 to 3600 mm. Due to this different climatic and topographic variation, entirely different land use systems can be observed throughout the watershed. The lower reaches of the basin include areas within the Colombo District comprising low lying flood retention zones, which are essentially marsh habitat. The sustenance of these urban wetlands is heavily dependent on the inflow from the Kelani river, but these lowland wetlands are now severely fragmented. Figure 4 shows the land use pattern in the impacted area. Figure 4: Land Use Map of the Kelani River Basin (Source: CEA, Strategic Environmental Assessment of Development of River Basin Level Flood and Drought Mitigation Investment Plans-Kelani River Basin, June 2018). As can been seen from the figure above, apart from the natural land use types, many anthropogenic land use types are found in the area. In general, the land use pattern in the Kelani River Basin involves two distinctive forms—the upper catchment area is more rural and is used primarily for plantation and agricultural land, and the lower catchment area is built-up land with modern towns and cities. As mentioned in Table 1, the majority of land is used for non-traditional export crops (40,894 ha.), rubber 9 Cooray, 1984 27 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 plantations (34,764 ha.), home gardens (31,876 ha.), paddy lands (15,643 ha.), coconut (15,480 ha.), building gs (13,070 ha.), and forests (12,998 ha.). A relatively higher percentage of the Montane and Sub-Montane forests are located in the eastern part of the basin. Large extent of paddy lands, which represent 7.8 percent of the total area, is found in the medium and lower reaches of the basin. Coconut plantations are around 5 percent. Table 1: Land Extent and Land Use Patterns in the Kelani Basin Land Extent in the impacted Area (Ha.)

This situation changed during the last three or four decades with the establishment of the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in Biyagama and the declaration of Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte as the Administrative Capital of the country. The construction of factories and warehouses took place in Kelaniya, Malwana, Kaduwela, and Hanwella outside the Biyagama FTZ. As a result, this area has been transformed into a dominantly industrial, service, and residential region, with human settlements replacing the previously agriculture dominant areas. Such changes in land use have adversely affected paddy cultivation, and many farmers are giving up farming and are employed in factories, building sites, and similar economic activities.10 Further, many of these lands have developed haphazardly with no consideration of the environmental sustainability of the area. In many 10 CEA, Strategic Environmental Assessment of Development of River Basin Level Flood and Drought Mitigation Investment Plans-Kelani River Basin, June 2018. 28 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 instances, no formal approvals are obtained from the relevant agencies. Roads have been constructed by filling drainage paths, reservations have been encroached, and the walls of houses and work places have become barriers to rapid water out flow during rainy periods. The cumulative result of these informal activities is heavy property damage even after a minor flood. The flood in May 2016 is a typical example in this regard, which caused heavy damage to the area, even though it has been recorded as a minor flood. 2.3 Socio-economic profile of the basin 2.3.1 Project area within the Kelani River Basin The Kelani River Basin area covers seven Districts, 38 Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSDs), and 1,091 Grama Niladhari Divisions (GNDs), on 234,010 hectares of land area. Although there are 1,091 GNDs in the Kelani River Basin area, only 98 GNDs of the 13 DSDs of Colombo, Gampaha, and Kegalle Districts are affected by the MPA as mentioned in Chapter 1.11 Table 2: Land extent of the Kelani River Basin District Total area (ha) Area inside the basin (ha) % of area inside the basin Colombo 67,996.76 45,854.07 67.44% Gampaha 141,847.28 33,485.59 23.61% Kalutara 164,644.77 1,144.55 0.70% Kandy 192,402.38 390.20 0.20% Nuwara-eliya 174,534.77 43,141.33 24.72% Ratnapura 328,877.54 7,146.69 2.17% Kegalle 166,099.25 102,848.32 61.92% Overall 1,236,402.75 234,010.74 18.93% (Source: GIS Survey by the consultant) As per the figures presented above in Table 2, the Colombo and Kegalle Districts have more than 50% of their land area located within the river basin, while the Kandy and Kalutara Districts record the least. Table 3 presents the land extent affected in each of the three Districts where the proposed interventions will be implemented under the MPA. The Kegalle District is expected to be the highest impacted District with respect to land extent (9,145.37 ha). However, the Colombo District records the highest percentage of affected land from the total land covered by the District (10.26%). 11 The area was determined through google topographic survey conducted at the feasibility study conducted for the interventions under the MPA. 29 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Table 3: Summary of land area in each district and project impacted area % of land area of the Total land area of the Land area of the impacted District impacted GND inside the impacted GNDs (ha) GND inside the basin (ha) basin Colombo 67,996.76 6,979.29 10.26% Gampaha 141,847.28 4,809.20 3.39% Kegalle 166,099.25 9,145.37 5.51% Total 375,943.30 20,933.85 5.57% (Source: GIS Survey by the consultant) Out of the above 98 GNDs affected due to the proposed interventions, 36 GNDs are expected to be affected due to proposed embankments from Kaduwela to the sea mouth, 21 GNDs due to embankments from Kaduwela to Hanwella, and 29 GNDs due to embankments upstream of Hanwella. Another eight GNDs will be affected due to the construction of the Rue castle reservoir and another four GNDs due to the construction of Wee Oya reservoir. Details of the impacted GNDs and DSDs in the basin area are included in the SSA prepared for the MPA. 2.3.2 Population Distribution and Characteristics Approximately 76,300 households are estimated to live in the impacted area of the Kelani River Basin. This constitutes 15% of the total number of households in the respective DSDs of the various Districts in the Kelani River Basin Area, as shown below (Table 4). Table 4: Number of households in the impacted Area District No. of households in the DSD No. of households in the impacted area Colombo 270,052 46,617: Gampaha 166,269 22,804 Kegalle 57,706 6,880 Overall Total 494,027 76,300 (Source: Department of Census and Statistics) As explained in Chapter 1, the census 2012 was used to extrapolate (predict) the population distribution for the year 2018. Accordingly, the highest population, including those that would be affected by Project interventions, is estimated to be in the Colombo District and the lowest in the Kegalle District (Table 5). Further, the percentage of females in the Project area is slightly higher than the percentage of males, which also reflects the overall gender distribution across Sri Lanka. 30 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Table 5: Estimated population in the three affected districts in Kelani River Basin Area Total estimated Total estimated District population of the population of Male Female entire DSDs (2018) impacted area (2018) Colombo 1,191,051 206,543 101,908 104,634 Gampaha 722,151 99,184 48,629 50,555 Kegalle 221,154 26,979 13,003 13,976 Overall 2,140,356 332,706 163,540 169,165 (Source: Department of Census & Statistics with estimated data) In terms of age distribution, the highest percentage of individuals in the Project area represent the age group of 35-59 years (32%), while the lowest of 8% represent the age group of 0-4 years. Twenty three percent of the affected population represent the age group between 5-19 years, considered as children or population attending primary and secondary education, and 24% are in the age group of 20-34 years (young adults). The percentage of the population above 60 years is 13%, part of the dependent population (Table 6).

As shown in Table 7, the impacted area in the Kelani River Basin is dominated by the Sinhalese population (81%), followed by the Tamil population (10%), and Sri Lanka Moors (8%). Other than these three major ethnic groups, there are small numbers of population belonging to the Burgher, Malay, Sri Lankan Chetty communities, mainly within the Colombo District (these groups been categorized as ‘other’).

The Hindu population is 6%, the Islamic population is 9%, and the Roman Catholic population is 10%. Notably, while the Sinhala/Buddhist culture dominates the basin area, impacts of the Tamil/Hindu culture is more pronounced in the plantation area. Further, while relatively small, the impacts of Islamic culture are very strong in the limited areas where the Muslims live. 2.3.3 Socio-Economic Status of Households Land Ownership and Tenure: 77% of land in the Project area is owned privately, 13% is rented from private owners, 4% are rented or leased from the government, 4% is occupied rent free, and 2% is encroached land (Table 8). Table 8: Number of households and land tenure in the impacted area in Kelani River Basin Total Number of Rent/Lease by Government households Encroacher Rent/Lease household Owned by Rent Free Private Other District Colombo 46,617 35,576 2,041 6,503 1,377 670 449 Gampaha 22,804 17,696 544 3,169 574 555 265 Kegalle 6,880 5,483 153 240 849 69 86 Overall 76,300 58,756 2,738 9,912 2,800 1,294 800 (Source: Department of Census & Statistics) Education: The majority (approximately 97%) of the population is educated, and only 3% have no schooling/formal education attainment (Figure 5). Slightly less than half of the population is qualified with General Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level) examination, Certificates (O Level), General Certificate of Education (Advance Level) Certificates (A Level) examination, university degree certificates, or above. While the number of persons who have not attended school at all is somewhat high, as a percentage, it is still lower when compared to national level data.

Broadly, more than 43% of the households in the project area derive their incomes from wage earnings, 4% from agriculture, and 54% from non-agricultural activities. Compared to the national averages, these figures indicate that a higher proportion of the population in the Project area derive their livelihoods from wage income, while a lesser percentage of people rely on agriculture. Employment: Forty nine percent (49%) of the population are employed, 3% are unemployed, and another 48% of the population is economically inactive (Table 9). In comparison, at the national level, 48.2% of the country’s population are employed, 3.4% are unemployed, and 48.4% are economically inactive. This indicates that the employment trends in the Project area are similar to national averages.

Among these, the Samurduhi benefits, given to poor households, are availed to 63,154 households or 18% of the total households in the impacted basin area (Table 11). There are variations across the Districts—for example, a larger proportion of the population in Colombo are recipients of Samurudhi benefits compared to Kegalle. 33 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Table 11: Number of Samurdhi beneficiaries in the impacted area of the Kelani River Basin No of families receiving Total no of families in % of families receiving District Samurdhi in the impacted the impacted area Samurdhi benefits area Colombo 172,959 36,073 21% Gampaha 122,472 20,969 17% Kegalle 49,169 6,111 12% Overall 344,599 63,154 18% (Source: District Statistical Hand Books - Department of Census & Statistics) 2.3.4 Housing Characteristics As presented in Figure 6, the majority of the units in the Project area are ‘permanent type’ (89%), while there is only 1% classified as “improvised structures” or “temporary structures”. Further, 71% of the houses are single one story housing units, 16% are single two story housing units, 1% are single multi-story housing units, 3% are annexes, 2% are flats, 1% are twin houses, 4% are row/line room housing units, 1% are shanties, and a very few are condominiums.

Other types of lightings constitute less than 1%. In terms of cooking fuel, the main energy sources for cooking are firewood (45%), gas (44%), and kerosene (10%). A small percentage of households also use electricity, saw dust/paddy husk, and other materials (See Figure 7). 34 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Figure 7: Source of electricity supply to the household 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% National Rural hydro Kerosene Solar power Bio Gas Other network power Series1 95% 0% 5% 0% 0% 0% (Source: Department of Census & Statistics) Drinking water: As shown in Figure 8, the majority of the population (more than 90%) obtain drinking water from the National Water Supply and Drainage Board’s (NWS&DB) water lines and protected wells. There are, however, households that rely on tube wells, bowsers, rivers/ tanks/ streams, and rain water.

In some of these cases, these sanitary facilities are of very poor quality. Schools and Hospitals: In terms of the total number of schools in the respective impacted area of the DSDs, 41% of schools are in Kegalle, 36% are in Colombo, and 23% are in Gampaha. However, the largest percentage of national schools is recorded in Colombo. Likewise, of the three Districts in the Project area, the largest number of hospitals are located in Colombo (42%), 32% are in Kegalle, and 26% in Gampaha. Further, the largest numbers of hospital beds, Medical Officers of Health (MOHs), Public Health Inspectors (PHI), and Health Midwives are in Colombo. 35 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Road networks: Similarly, the largest road network within the proposed Project intervention areas is recorded from Colombo, and the lowest is from Gampaha. Specifically, of the total road length in the impacted area, Colombo contains 41% of roads, Kegalle contains 35%, and Gampaha contains 24%. 2.4 Gender and Vulnerability in the Project Area 2.4.1 Gender Dynamics The total population of the impacted area consist of 163,540 (49.2%) males and 169,165 (50.8%) female. Similar to the general population, the majority (approximately 95%) of the population in the Project area is educated, but a slightly higher percentage of women (5%, compared to 3% in the general population) have no schooling/formal education attainment (Figure 9). A much lower percentage of women are qualified with General Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level) examination, General Certificate of Education (Advance Level) examination, and university degree or above. As can be seen, Sri Lanka’s women’s participation in the labour force is approximately 50% and the rates are similar across the Project area, although it is slightly higher in the Kegalle District. However, these figures across the three Districts are higher than the national of 36%.12 Figure 9: Female population by education levels in the impacted area in the Kelani River Basin 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% No Primary Secondar GCE(O/L) GCE(A/L) Degree schooling Colombo 19% 39% 21% 15% 4% 3% Gampaha 16% 40% 21% 17% 4% 2% Kegalle 27% 43% 14% 9% 1% 5% (Source: District Statistical Hand Books - Department of Census & Statistics) However, In Sri Lanka, women are more vulnerable to the consequences of natural disasters compared to men, due to differences in employment status, income, gendered social roles, social norms, and restrictions governing behavior.13 12 World Bank.

Women-headed households: The women headed households in the three Districts are about one fifth of the total population: 21% in the Colombo District, 20% in the Gampaha District, and 21% in the Kegalle District, as against the 20% of households at the national level. This is an important group, as as the women in these households take full responsibility for managing the family, reducing the poverty levels, and providing other types of social protection to their families. Population below the poverty line: The incidence of poverty is reported as 3.8% in the impacted area of the Kelani River Basin, with the highest poverty level reported in the Kegalle District. Further, a higher rate of poverty is reported from the rural areas: Deraniyagala DSD (11.6%), Yatiyantota DSD (10.9%), Bulathkohupitiya DSD (9.6%), Ruwanwella DSD (8%), Dompe DSD (5.3%), and Seethawaka DSD (5%). In all other DSDs that are urban, the poverty rates are less than 4%.14 Unemployed population: In terms of unemployment, while the percentage of the unemployed population in the Project area is relatively low at 2.2%, the highest percentage of unemployed persons is reported from the Kegalle District (3.1%) and 3.5% from the Deraniyagala DSD. Population that did not attend schools: Approximately 3% of the population in the Project area has not attended school. However, there is variation across the Project Districts, with the highest from the Kegalle District (5.4%). People with disabilities: At the national level, the percentage of people with a disability is reported at 1.55%, but in the three Project Districts, the percentage is higher at 2.19%. Further, as shown in Table 12, the highest rate of disability is recorded in the Kegalle District (4.17%).

The distribution of population across the three Districts is similar, although Gampaha has a slightly higher percentage of the elderly population. 2.5 Commercial and Industrial Activities in the Project Area Altogether, there are 9,777 industries in the Project impact area, comprising mining and quarrying; food, beverages, and tobacco; textile, wearing, apparel, and leather; wood, wood production, and furniture; paper products and printing; chemical, petroleum, rubber, plastic, and non-metallic mineral product; basic metal products; and machinery and equipment. The highest percentage of industries is reported from the Gampaha District (83%), followed by the Kegalle District (16%). Notably, even though the city of Colombo is considered as the economic capital of the country, not many industries are located within the Project affected DSDs in the Colombo District—the Colombo District reportedly constitutes only 1% of industries located in the basin (Table 13). Table 13: Number of industries in the basin area Type of Industries Number of industries in the basin area Colombo Gampaha Kegalle Total Mining & quarrying 1 271 4 275 Food beverages & tobacco 16 1,477 728 2,221 Textile, wearing, apparel & leather 42 1,446 282 1,770 Wood, wood production and furniture 23 490 158 670 Paper products and printing 10 208 49 267 Chemical, petroleum, rubber & plastic 19 447 74 540 Nonmetallic mineral products 1 1,590 17 1,607 Basic metal products, machinery & 5 2,108 19 2,132 equipment’s Other manufacturing industries 6 7 238 251 Water works & supply - 27 16 43 Overall total 122 8,071 1,584 9,777 (Source: District Statistical Hand Book - Department of Census & Statistics) Commercial units in the basin area can be classified as: retail shops; restaurants; textile and foot wear; fish and vegetable; dispensary and pharmacy; wood and iron furniture; electrical items; groceries, building material and paint shops; liquor shops; jewellery; books and stationary; motor vehicles spare 38 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 parts; and other categories of sales units. Altogether, there are 2,666 registered commercial units in the impacted area of the Kelani River Basin. While most of the commercial units are located in the Gampaha District (70%), there is significant variation across the three Districts. For example, retail shops dominate commercial establishments in Colombo (64% of all commercial units in Colombo) but in Gampaha, their portion is relatively small (15% of all commercial units). Similarly, the categories of ‘other’ are higher in Gampaha (58% of all commercial units) and Kegalle (44% of all commercial establishments) but significantly less in Colombo (4% of all establishments). Aside from the commercial and industrial activities mentioned above, the Kelani River Basin is famous for gem and sand mining and clay extraction. Raw clay excavation is carried out in the middle and lower part of the basin for brick and pottery industries. Sand mining happens in most parts of the river and varies from small to medium scale extractions. Many people are employed in sand mining, especially in the lower reaches of the river. Notably, however, most of these extractions are illegal and cause heavy damage to river embankments, the river bed, and even to water extraction facilities at Ambatale. 2.6 Natural resources in the Project area The fact that the entire Kelani Basin Area lies within the wet zone and spans across an elevational gradient means the river basin supports three main vegetation formations: tropical wet evergreen forest (lowland rainforests) in its lower to mid reaches and the sub-montane and montane forests at higher elevations.15 As the Kelani River Basin falls within the wet zone, it is extremely rich in biodiversity with high species richness, many endemics and some point endemics, and high numbers of rare and threatened species. Although detailed work has not been carried out systematically across the entire river basin, a few studies covering a limited number of sites have demonstrated its biotic wealth. Among the recorded threatened species are 16 dragonflies, 23 butterflies, nine amphibians, 11 reptiles, 25 birds, and 28 mammals. With respect to fish, 27 nationally threatened fish species are recorded, including eight critically endangered (CN), 15 endangered (EN), and four vulnerable (VU) species (IUCN database). As is the case in the entire wet zone, much of the natural habitats, particularly the lowland rainforests, are highly fragmented and remain as pockets in an urbanized landscape. Overall, the Kelani catchment has three wildlife sanctuaries (7,518 ha), 16 proposed forest reserves (11,423 ha), 13 forest reserves (2,585 ha), and a catchment area of 2,304 hectares allocated for drinking water reservoirs (Figure 10). Figure 10: Protected areas within the Kelani basin 15 Jayasuriya, Kichener & Biradar, 2006; Perera et al., 2014. 39 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Source: R & D, CEA based on Department of Wildlife / Forest department Of these sanctuaries and forest reserves, Imbulpitiya and Kananpella forest reserves are located within close proximity to the proposed CRes MPA interventions. However, many of the forests in the river basin are within the jurisdiction of the Forest Department or the Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWLC). The Forest Department is in the process of expanding the existing reservations, which would have an impact on the project boundaries. Further, at the lower most extreme parts, particularly within the Colombo area, the Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation (SLLRDC) proposes to holistically manage the urban wetlands as a protected area, particularly to safeguard flora and fauna displaced as a result of urbanization. 2.7 Other Development Interventions in the Project area Flood protection: There are two flood dykes, called the North bund and the South bund, which protect Colombo city from the Kelani river flooding. These flood bunds are very old structures which still play an important role in flood protection up to about a 10-year return period. In addition, there are four minor flood bunds, called Mabola, Wattala, Gothatuwa, and Ambatale. Further, from around Pugoda up to the river outfall, there are many minor flood protection schemes on both banks of the Kelani river. There are also lateral gated structures which prevent water entering the sub catchment areas of the minor flood protection schemes when the flood water level of the Kelani basin is high. When the Kelani river water level is low and during local floods, the gates are opened to drain out excess water to the Kelani river. Thus, these minor flood protection schemes have been playing a very important role in irrigation and flood protection in the lower reaches of the Kelani river. Roads network: There are several roads that run along the river banks, as well as several bridges closer to the town areas that will have to be taken into consideration in the design of the flood protection works. A variation can be observed between the left and the right bank. Larger national roads and roads connecting urban centers are found on the left bank, which is closer to Colombo, and more provincial roads are located on the right bank, which is more sub urban. Further, the Road Development Authority (RDA), the national institute under which Class A and B roads are developed, improved, and maintained, has plans to develop the Ambathale to Hanwella section of the AB010 into a four-lane road. Additionally, there are several bridges that would need to be considered in the design of the flood protection works. 40 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Water intakes: The other key infrastructure facility located between Kaduwela and the river mouth is the water intakes of NWS&DB for their water treatment plants at Ambathale and Biyagama. These two water treatment plants are the source of treated water to Colombo Metropolitan area. Also, there is a salinity barrier across the river at Ambathale, and four water supply lines (steel pipes) buried in the service corridors alongside the AB10 road in the sections of road that fall within the proposed embankment trace for Phase 1. They comprise two 500mm and two 750mm pipelines. The pipes are old and were laid in the 1920s or 1930s. Further, the NWS&DB has commenced construction of four new 1200mm water supply pipelines from Ambathale. Urban housing: Over 50% of the Colombo city population lives in shanties, slums, or dilapidated old housing schemes, which occupied 9% of the total land extent of the city. A recent survey carried out by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) has identified a total number of 68,812 families living in 1,499 community clusters (underserved settlements) which do not have a healthy environment for human habitation and access to basic infrastructure facilities, such as clean water, electricity, and sanitation. The UDA, under the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development (MMDW), has launched an ambitious project to relocate these families in new housing schemes with acceptable standards. The project known as the “Urban Regeneration Programme” is considered one major step in the direction of transforming Colombo into a world recognized city with a clean and pleasing environment (Figure 11). Figure 11: Proposed housing projects under “Urban Regeneration Programme” (Source: UDA web site) Drainage system: The MMWD has also initiated a few projects to improve the drainage system within the Colombo Metropolitan Region (CMR). This includes rehabilitation and improvement of St. Sebastian canal at Nagalagam area. Ruecastle and Wee Oya reservoirs: A section of the Deraniyagala – Noori (B93) road, which is about five km in length, is located within the foot print of the proposed Ruecastle reservoir (Figure 12). Along with this road section, there are also four bridges across Magal Oya and Seethawaka Oya in the proposed reservoir area (a new bridge is under construction to replace and old one). About one km of Maliboda road is also within the reservoir footprint. Further, there is also a mini-hydroelectric power plant located just below the suspension bridge. 41 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Figure 12: Road sections inundated and affected villages Unlike Ruecastle, the Wee Oya reservoir area only borders the Yatiyanthota – Meenagala (B482) road and the access road towards the village in the valley (near Malapola Maha Vidyalaya. Further, during the discussions held with Divisional Secretaries of Deraniyagala, Bulathkohupitiya, and Yatiyantota, it was revealed that no development projects have been earmarked to be carried out within the footprint areas of these two reservoirs. Broadlands project - Ceylon Electricity Board: The Broadlands hydropower project is located in the middle reaches of Kelani river basin near the confluence of the Maskeli Oya and the Kehelgamu Oya. The project entails the construction of: • 24 m high concrete gravity main dam. • Concrete gravity diversion weir of height 19 m to be constructed on the Kehelgamu Oya. • A run-of-the-river type power plant (35 MW) • Construction of a 4 km long overhead power transmission line There are various environmental and social impacts generated by the Broadlands Project, including adverse impacts on historical and monument landscapes and sites due to the diversion of the river flow, carbon storage costs and loss of forest cover. Negative socio-economic impacts include loss of recreational activities and water sports, loss of scenic view of the river, livelihood loss especially due to reduction in forest products such as fuel wood, medicinal herbs and edible foods, and reduction in the productivity of home gardens. One of the identified benefits however is the reduced dependency on coal power, reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, all of which are conducive to the human health as well as environmental health. 2.8 History of natural disasters The Kelani river has been a subject of numerous disasters throughout history, with the oldest recorded disaster occurring during the period of King Kelanitissa in 200 BC. Due to the topography of the basin, 42 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 flooding occurs mainly in the lowland area of the Colombo region. The rainfall events that occur in the eastern region of the basin (in the high slopes) generates a river flow with high velocity and pressure, which arrives at the low slope area after Hanwella (towards the river mouth) causing flooding in the downstream parts of the river. The Nagalagam Street’s river gauging station takes recordings of flood events in the lower Kelani Basin Area, including their severity. The recordings indicate that, from 1837 to 2016, there have been a total of 27 flood events, with three critical floods and 17 dangerous floods16 (Figure 13). Figure 13: Kelani River flooding as recorded from Nagalagam Street (Source: Ministry of Irrigation, 2017) Figure 14 shows a map of the flood-prone area in the Kelani basin. Specifically, as per the assessments done so far in preparation for the MPA, some of the reasons for the very high flood damages reported in the basin are: • Very high rainfall with intense storm events, mainly, but not entirely, due to the Southwest Monsoon; • The high elevation of the upper catchment creating a steep river channel for most of its length; • The abrupt change in slope around Hanwella, which is 35 km upstream of the sea, creating a situation of a high velocity flow entering a very low energy environment, creating ideal conditions for out of bank flow, or flood; • The high value of land and property in Colombo, creating conditions for high flood damage costs. 16The classification of floods at Nagalagam gauge station are minor floods (level between 5 ft / 1.5 m and 7 ft / 2.1 m), major floods (level is between 7 ft / 2.1 m and 9 ft / 2.7 m), and severe flood (level exceeds 9 ft / 2.7 m). Gunasekara, I. P. A., “Flood Hazard Mapping in Lower Reach of Kelani River”, Journal of Engineer Vol. XXXXI, No. 05, 2008. 43 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 In addition, the ‘Sri Lanka Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme 2014-2018’, has also attributed the causes of recent flooding to poor land use patterns (such as deforestation, poorly planned cultivations, and uprooting bank vegetation), sand mining, and the mismanagement of solid waste that blocks canals, streams and drains and landfills. Figure 14: Map Showing Flood-prone Areas in Kelani Basin (Source: Survey department) Additionally, compared to the past, the recent flood events have seen an increase in the number of lives lost, and accountability has been given to high precipitation events and flash flood events. For example, the May 2016 floods lead to the following losses in Colombo and Gampaha Districts: Colombo District • The flood affected 228,871 persons in 54,248 families within 10 DS Divisions (Colombo, Homagama, Kaduwela, Kesbewa, Kolonnawa, Kotte, Maharagama, Padukka, Seethawaka, and Thimbirigasaya). • The worst damages observed were in Kolonnawa, where 155,062 people were affected.17 This was 81% of the total population in the DS division.18 Gampaha District • The flood affected 74,003 persons in 17,485 families within 13 DS Divisions in the District. • 10 divisions out of the 13 are within Kelani River Basin Area. Severely affected DSDs were: Attanagalla, Biyagama, Dompe, Gampaha, Mahara, Ja-Ela, Kelaniya, and Wattala DS. 17 Kolonnawa DS division reported the severest damages in the country as well. 18Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs and Ministry of Disaster Management, 2016 from Draft SEA report for Kelani basin. 44 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 3 Potential Social Impacts Associated with the MPA 3.1 Benefits of the MPA The programme, via its three consecutive but overlapping phases, is expected to bring overall positive social and environmental benefits to the programme areas by ensuring a holistic and sound system for the management of floods and climate change related impacts. Specifically, investments include: structural and non-structural measures along the Kelani and the Mundeni river basins for flood protection, strengthening the GoSL’s capacity, supporting modernization efforts of hydromet systems, and scaling-up flood and drought risk modelling in priority basins for design and implementation of more resilient investments. The achievement of the expected outputs from the Project will contribute to the intermediate and long-term outcomes including: (i) more accurate and timely weather and flood forecasting; (ii) enhanced inter-agency co-ordination; (iii) a service-delivery business model approach; (iv) better decision-making of government and citizens before and during disasters; and (v) increased protection of people and assets. Each phase and the overall Programme will generate social and economic benefits as per the GoSL’s vision to protect life and assets while transitioning to a middle-income country status. The immediate beneficiaries of the Project at the government level will be the Irrigation Department, the Department of Meteorology, the Disaster Management Center, and the National Building Research Organization. All four agencies will be able to provide reliable, useful and timely hydro- meteorological information and warnings to their clients, including the general public. These clients include key weather-dependent sectors, such as agriculture, transport, energy, health, fishery, marine, tourism, and emergency services at the national, provincial, and local levels. The new weather forecast system will potentially benefit the entire nation, and the flood forecasting and warning system will directly benefit approx. five million people living in flood-prone areas of the selected 25 river basins. The physical flood mitigation investments in the Kelani River Basin will benefit about 332,000 out of a total population of 450,000 (51% women) that live in 15 Grama Niladhari Divisions spread between Hanwella and Kaduwela, along the Kelani river. In addition, there are 9,777 registered industrial structures (mining, electricity, etc.) and 2,666 registered commercial units (shops, restaurants, etc.) that will benefit from the Project interventions. Overall, approx. 15,000 commercial/industrial structures, including some unregistered ones, will be benefitted by the Project. At the economy-wide level, improved flood forecasting and reliable warnings will benefit around 11.5 million people that are climate-vulnerable living along priority basins. The Project will support community level early warning systems for severe weather-related events, such as thunderstorms, floods, and flash floods through the introduction, pilot testing, and operationalization of an impact- based flood forecasting system and a flash flood guidance system. Similarly, the Project will support the development of a drought monitoring system and the development and delivery of enhanced agriculture and climate advisory services (ACAS) that will directly benefit sectoral working groups in these selected basins (agriculture, transport, energy, health, fishery, marine, tourism, etc.). For the general public, the Project is introducing two innovative mechanisms that will benefit the citizens of Sri Lanka, particularly those living and working in at risk areas. First, the accessibility of user friendly forecasting and early warning products to a wider public and sectors. Second, the creation of a National Center for Climate Services, which will provide end-users and the general public with access to a digital library that contains climate information and operational products, from risk identification, risk assessment, planning and prevention, services for response and recovery from hazards, information relevant to climate variability and change, and information and advice related to 45 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 adaptation. Another key benefit of the NFCS is the capability to support users in the interpretation of these products and services. 3.2 Adverse Impacts While the overall programme is envisaged to have positive social and environmental benefits and impacts, the construction of new infrastructure and the upgrading of existing infrastructure are likely to result in significant social impacts that will need to be mitigated across the detailed design and implementation phases of the investments. Specifically, the Project interventions, including the construction of flood embankments and the reservoirs in the mid-upper catchment, will require some acquisition of private land and the displacement of people that have encroached onto the Irrigation Department reservation19 alongside the Kelani river. There will also be some impacts on existing infrastructure and facilities, including roads located close to the riverbank. This section discusses the impacts that will be caused due to Project interventions, including impacts during construction, some of which will be temporary in nature. These impacts have been identified on the basis of the social analysis conducted during the preparation for the MPA, including strategic social assessment, socio- economic survey, social impact assessment for the construction of embankments, and several stakeholder consultations carried out as part of social safeguards planning and management. 3.2.1 Physical displacement and relocation The interventions in Phase 1 and 2 of Stage 1 are located mainly within the Colombo District and a few Divisional Secretary Divisions in the Gampaha District. The Stage 2 interventions are located in the Kegalle District. As described in Section 2 of this SMF, secondary data available for these Districts show a significant number of households in these Districts are in or near the riverbanks of the Kelani river. In principle, as described under Component 3 for Phase I, one of the objectives of land acquisition and resettlement financed under the Project is to enhance the safety and security of communities living along the riverbanks from the perennial risks of floods and other extreme weather events. In this regard, while it is expected that the Project interventions will benefit the majority of households in the basin by providing protection from floods, a smaller number of households and businesses will be adversely affected due to land acquisition and other Project related activities. The acquisition of land and the clearing of the reservation area from the river mouth, especially up to Hanwella bridge, will lead to the displacement of residents, some of whom will have legal ownership to the land. It will also affect people without formal titles or deeds, who have built residential structures, especially within the reservations. Depending on the size and availability of the remaining areas of the plots, some landowners may be able to rebuild their houses or businesses on the same plot. To the extent possible, land acquisition requirements and involuntary resettlement will be avoided and or minimized by considering alternate design options. Where land acquisition is unavoidable, the Project will follow appropriate measures to ensure safeguards compliance in line with the government legal framework and World Bank policies as laid out in the accompanying RPF, including minimizing the impacts from land acquisition to the extent possible and compensation at replacement cost in accordance with entitlement matrix included in the RPF. 19 In the project affected area this reservation has not been properly demarcated. 46 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 3.2.2 Loss of residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural land As shown in the Table 14 and explained in detail in Section 2, there is a significant diversity in terms of land use patterns in the Project area, which would be affected by the interventions implemented under the MPA. Table 14: Land use pattern in the Colombo, Gampaha, and Kegalle Districts Type of land Affected Districts Colombo Gampaha Kegalle Irrigated paddy land 3% 5% 2% Rain fed paddy land 8% 10% 4% Tea 0% 0% 7% Rubber 24% 3% 21% Coconut 4% 14% 9% Cinnamon 0% 0% 0% Other crops 1% 0% 39% Forests 3% 2% 11% Grass/chena (shifting cultivation) 1% 0% 0% Marshes & mangroves 3% 2% 0% Home garden 27% 52% 2% Reservoirs 2% 3% 0% Buildings 16% 7% 3% Sand & mountains 0% 0% 0% Abandoned land 1% 1% 1% Sacred places, roads, cemetery etc 7% 0% 2% Overall Land extent in Basin Area 100% 100% 100% (Source: Survey Department) There are a significant number of large commercial and industrial facilities along the river in both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 areas. Some of these industrial facilities, such as Coca Cola Beverages Sri Lanka Ltd and the stores of Lion Brewery Ceylon Ltd, are large-scale industrial facilities located close to the riverbank. There are also some container yards, sawmills, and storage facilities located close to the riverbank. The acquisition or use of a narrow strip of these lands would not necessarily lead to the total displacement of such facilities but may affect some of their activities. The impacts may include a reduction in the areas used for storage, in the case of the container yards and bottling plants, and restrictions on the movement of vehicles within the facility. The Project may also require the shifting of water and/or wastewater treatment plants located close to the river. As well as these large-scale industrial facilities, there are many hotels, restaurants, and recreational sites (e.g. Water World and Bird Park in Kelaniya) that have been built up to the bank of the river. In Biyagama village, there is a prominent hotel on the riverbank, located opposite Coca Cola Beverages Sri Lanka Ltd. The permanent structures of most of these hotels and restaurants are located away from the river and the land nearest to the river is kept as an open area used for events and functions. The acquisition or clearing of the land along the river will generally affect the area nearest to the riverbank, as well as those parts or whole structures located within the affected area, leading to a partial or total loss of the premises and related commercial activities. Some agricultural activities could also be observed along the river, especially upstream from the Hanwella bridge, and within the lands identified for the two reservoirs. For example, a large-scale 47 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 greenhouse facility could be observed about 6.5 km upstream from the Hanwella bridge on the left bank located between the Hanwella – Urapola road and the riverbank. Rubber and tea plantations and paddy could also be observed in the area identified for the two reservoirs. The acquisition of land may lead to total disruption of these activities. The valuation method defined under the accompanying RPF and the EM will be followed to determine full replacement cost for the structures and other assets and the affected land. Depreciation for structures and other assets will not be considered while determining the replacement costs. 3.2.3 Potential impacts on livelihoods and employment Most of the small to medium scale commercial activities, such as potteries, shops, kiosks, workshops, and vehicle repair centers located within the area directly affected by the Project, are either operated by the owner as family businesses or with a few employees. Most hotels and restaurants are family businesses with a few employees. Plantations in the area identified for the reservoirs are likely to have permanent employees engaged in tapping rubber. There would also be a category of temporary workers or hired laborers working in the paddy lands in the reservoir areas. Some of these activities would be either temporarily or permanently affected by the land acquisition and clearing of the reservation area. This would adversely affect the livelihood activities and jobs of permanent and temporary workers in small and medium scale commercial activities. Further, operators of the small boats used for fishing and recreational purposes moor their boats close to the river mouth, downstream from Mattakkuliya bridge. The construction of flood protection structures along this stretch could deprive these people of their mooring facilities and storage space for their equipment and this would have impacts on their livelihoods. Each affected person whose income or livelihood is affected will be assisted to improve, or at least restore his/her income to pre-project level. Income restoration schemes to be prepared under the Project will be designed in consultation with affected persons, and in consideration of their resource base and existing skills. 3.2.4 Impacts on infrastructure The intake for the Ambatale water treatment plant, which serves much of Greater Colombo, and the associated salinity barrier across the river, could be affected during construction of the flood defences. The bus depot in Kelaniya belonging to the Sri Lanka Transport Board and the housing apartments for low-income families located close to the Japan Friendship bridge could also be affected. These facilities are located within the river stretch between Kaduwela and the river mouth (Phase II of the MPA). The impacts on the intake and salinity barrier are likely to be temporary, and hence, it may be possible to make modifications to the flood protection structures to minimize the temporary impacts and avoid any permanent impacts. It will also be necessary to adapt the design of the flood defences along the section of river close to the housing schemes, as it would not be viable to shift these structures. Some of the more potentially significant impacts are associated with the relocation of sections of major and minor roads, including the AB-10 in Ranala and along the approaches to Hanwella (RAP 1 area). There are also sections of the Hanwella – Malwana road that fall within the 50 foot reservation road located within or close to the land that would be required for construction of the embankments. A section of the Dehiowita – Deraniyagala road is located within the land area identified for Rue Castle reservoir. 48 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 In case of loss of common resources, structures, and facilities as defined in the EM in the RPF, the same will be restored or reinstalled or access to lost facilities provided at a new place in consultation with the community or appropriate authority. 3.2.5 Impacts on cultural heritage and religious sites Kelaniya temple, Thalwatta temple, the Kovil at Peliyagoda, and the “Red Church” at Biyagama are prominent sites of cultural significance in the Project area. Kelaniya temple is also a site of historical and archeological importance. As well as these sites of major importance, there are also a number of temples and small shrines located along the affected stretch of the river. To the extent possible, impacts on these structures will be avoided by considering alternate design options. In cases where it is not possible, these structures will be restored at a new place in consultation with the community and appropriate authority. Further, the EAMF prepared under the MPA includes elaboration of required steps for the management of physical cultural resources or property or artifacts of cultural/archeological significance. 3.2.6 Loss of access to community sites and common resources There is a ferry point near Matakkuliya bridge and another near the “Water World and Bird Park” at Kelaniya. Many of the people who live along the river use the river for bathing, and some places have special bathing sites. There are also some small bridges across the river that could potentially be affected by loss of access. Similar restrictions of access to roadside commercial establishments and residential buildings are also likely. Additionally, construction work may also require the shifting of utility services, like electricity poles, water connections, etc., which may cause inconveniences to the public. Impacts on these sites, structures, and resources will be avoided and/or minimized by considering alternate design options. In cases where impacts are unavoidable, these structures will be restored at a new place in consultation with the community and appropriate authority, without causing significant disruptions and/or inconveniences to the public. 3.2.7 Impacts on gender and vulnerable groups There are no indigenous communities located in the areas along the Kelani river covered under Stage 1 or in the reservoir areas identified for Stage 2. However, as described in Chapter 2, there are a range of socially and economically vulnerable persons and households that may suffer disproportionately due to resettlement and/or loss of livelihoods living in the Project areas. This category would include households headed by women that have no adult male support, families headed by the elderly, extremely poor families living below the official poverty line, and families that are headed or have family members with disabilities. Many of the families living within the reservation area belong to the low-income category. These families may face specific issues related to land acquisition and resettlement, due to the lack of formal titles or deeds to the land, houses, or business premises that they occupy and/or due to the difficulty finding alternate sites for resettlement or alternative sources of income or employment. Gender is a key concern in relation to the management of social safeguard issues, given the differential vulnerabilities of the affected men and women. In view of their higher vulnerability levels, specific measures are needed to enable affected women, especially in female-headed households, many of which are poor and vulnerable. 49 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 These groups will require special support and interventions to help them cope with the resettlement process. Measures for enhancing positive benefits to these groups while also minimizing impacts, are detailed in Section 5 of this SMF as well as the accompanying RPF for the MPA. 3.2.8 Construction-related Impacts People living close to the sub-project areas are likely to face issues of traffic congestion, dust, noise, and vibration during construction. These impacts may require some families living in the immediate vicinity to be relocated until the works are completed. It will be essential to carry out structural surveys of houses and other structures before any work starts, in order to assess whether or not the houses and other structures have suffered any damage. Measures for addressing some of these construction-related disturbances will include implementation of traffic control and safety measures, signage, and educational campaigns, which will be specifically provided in the site-specific Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and/or Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) for each sub-project under the MPA (see Annex V for a sample of SIMP). 3.2.9 Labour influx and impacts on local communities Infrastructure projects often involve construction of civil works for which the required labour force and associated goods and services cannot be fully supplied locally for a number of reasons, among them worker unavailability and a lack of technical skills and capacity. The labour force (total or partial) needs to be brought in from outside the project area. In many cases, this influx is compounded by an influx of other people (“followers”) who follow the incoming workforce with the aim of selling them goods and services, or in pursuit of job or business opportunities. On the one hand, such movements of labour can provide potential benefits for the community, including economic opportunities through employment and/or training by the project, contributions to the local economy by selling goods and services, the provision of local infrastructure (such as access roads, power, or water connection) which is developed for the project and which serves the community beyond the project duration. However, the rapid migration to and settlement of workers and ‘followers’ in the project area can affect project areas negatively, in terms of increased risks of social conflict, illicit behaviour, burden on and competition for public service provision, such as water, electricity, medical services, transport, education, and social services, risk of communicable diseases and burden on local health services, including sexually transmitted diseases, and gender-based violence, particularly in the form of inappropriate behaviour. To address these risks, contractors will be encouraged to tap into the local workforce, to the extent possible, as well as incorporate social and environmental mitigation measures into the civil works contract. Further, all the civil works carried out under the MPA will include identification and assessment of the potential social impacts on local communities that may be generated by labour influx, development of specific measures to mitigate the risks associated with the social and environmental impacts from labour influx into the ESMP/SIMP in consultation with affected communities, monitoring mechanisms to be adopted by project proponents, and site-specific instruments relating to labour. 50 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 3.2.10 Opposition from local communities/stakeholders Stakeholder and community consultations carried out so far indicate significant support for the Project, especially considering the losses and damages experienced by the surrounding communities of the Kelani river during the 2016 and 2017 flood events. However, overtime, opposition from local communities and stakeholders is likely, given the level of land acquisition and resettlement envisaged under the MPA, especially in Phase II. Effective public awareness and communication, including continuous engagement and dialogue with the community is critical. 51 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 4 Policy, Regulatory, and Institutional Framework All activities under the proposed Project will be consistent with the legal/regulatory framework of Sri Lanka and aligned with the World Bank policies and guidelines. This section discusses the applicable national policy and regulatory framework; World Bank safeguards applicable to the sub-projects supported under the MPA; gaps in legislation, regulation, policies, and planning principles; and the measures that will be taken to ensure conformity with the World Bank safeguard policies, while adhering to the national policies. 4.1 Overview of national legislation The national level framework covers the legal and regulatory framework, policies, and regulatory roles of the relevant agencies as described below: 4.1.1 Legal and regulatory framework in Sri Lanka on land acquisition The current Sri Lankan laws governing matters relating to land, such as land acquisition, recovery of state lands, claiming rights of acquisitive prescription, declaration of reservations, compensation for property losses, and compensation for improvements in Sri Lanka are contained in a number of legislative enactments, including: Land Acquisition Act No. 9 of 1950 (LAA), which guarantees that no person is deprived of land except under the provisions of the LAA, and entitles APs to compensation for the loss of lands, loss of fixed assets, and loss of income. Land Acquisition Regulations 2008 (LAR 2008), which includes the provision of statutory payments of compensation for affected land at market rates, reconstruction cost of structure without depreciation, and valuation for whole plot of land for determining proportional unit cost for the affected land parcel, business losses, and relocation assistance. Land Acquisition Regulations 2013 (LAR 2013), which provides for a compensation package that goes beyond that prescribed in the LAR 2008, including ex gratia and non-statutory payments of compensation through the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Committee (LARC) and Super LARC systems for ‘specified projects’ by the Ministry of Lands. National Involuntary Resettlement Policy 2001 (NIRP), includes several principles/features that brings the acquisition, resettlement, and rehabilitation procedures of the GoSL closer to the World Bank’s policies. Some of these include: avoiding involuntary resettlement to the extent possible; guaranteeing adequate compensation, based on replacement value; and inclusion of APs in decision- making relating to relocation and resettlement processes. In addition to the above laws and policies, there are several other legal instruments in Sri Lanka that address issues of land acquisition. Summaries of these instruments and their application to the Project are elaborated in the RPF prepared under the Project. Application to the MPA: Any sub-project activity requiring land acquisition of both permanent and temporary nature, particularly those resulting in impacts on properties and/or livelihoods of individuals and groups, will need to follow the provisions provided in the Acts, regulations, and the policies. The Project has not been given the ‘specified’ status which would have allowed it to apply the LAR 2013. These provisions and the World Bank policies, Operational Policy 4.12 (OP 4.12), will 52 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 apply to determining the entitlements, valuation of assets, payment of compensation, and/or extending other types of assistance to the APs and families. 4.1.2 Laws relating to women, labour, vulnerable groups, and cultural heritage 4.1.2.1 Constitution of Sri Lanka Chapter 3 of the Constitution of Sri Lanka enshrines Fundamental Rights, including the right to equality before the law and the right to be free from discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, language, caste, sex, political opinion, and place of birth. Further, Chapter 6 of the Constitution provides Directive Principles of State Policy and Fundamental Duties, including the realization by all citizens of an adequate standard of living for themselves and their families, including adequate food, clothing and housing, the continuous improvement of living conditions and the full enjoyment of leisure and social and cultural opportunities, and further, that the state shall protect, preserve, and improve the environment for the benefit of the community. Application to the MPA: Adherence to the constitutional guarantees of the right to equality the right to non-discrimination will be observed during the design and implementation of the Project and its activities. 4.1.2.2 Labour laws The legislative framework relating to industrial, employment, and labour relations is governed by a number of statutes. The terms and conditions of employment are governed by the Wages Board Ordinance No. 27 of 1941, the Shop and Office Employees’ Act No. 19 of 1954, and the Employment of Trainees (Private Sector) Act No. 8 of 1978. Labour/industrial relations are governed by the Trade Unions Ordinance No. 14 of 1935, the Industrial Dispute Act No. 43 of 1950, the Termination of Employment of Workmen (Special Provision) Act No. 45 of 1971, and the Employees’ Councils Act No. 32 of 1979. The well-being of employees is governed by the Employment of Women, Young Persons, and Children Act No. 47 of 1956, the Maternity Benefits Ordinance No. 32 of 1939, and the Employment of Females in Mines Ordinance No. 13 of 1937. Occupational safety and health is governed by the Factories Ordinance No. 45 of 1942 and the Workmen’s Compensation Ordinance No. 19 of 1934. In addition, Sri Lanka has ratified 41 of the International Labour Organization Conventions, including the eight core conventions on labour standards, including the including the right to collective bargaining and freedom of association. The most recent ratification was of the Employment Policy Convention 1964 (No. 122) in early 2016 and the GoSL has also expressed its willingness to ratify the Occupational Safety and Health Convention 1981 (No. 155). Application to MPA: Contractors and all agencies/authorities that hire workers will have to adhere to the labour laws. In addition, they will be required to prepare their own Environmental and Social Management Plan and/or a Social Impact Mitigation Plan that will provide details on how the contractor will comply with the national labor laws as well as the RPF, SMF and the EAMF prepared under the MPA. 4.1.2.3 Support for the poor and vulnerable Sri Lanka has a comprehensive social security system consisting of old age pensions, lump-sum payments at retirement for public officers and workers in the formal private sector and their dependents, and voluntary schemes for workers in the informal economy. In addition, there are schemes which cover disability, health care, and social safety nets targeting the poor. Among these, the Samurdhi programme is the main social assistance programme in Sri Lanka, which is administered 53 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 by the Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs. The Samurdhi programme consists of a relief programme and an empowerment programme. The relief programme relates to the cash transfers, a social security fund, and a nutrition programme. The empowerment programme consists of five components: rural infrastructure, livelihood, social development, Samurdhi housing, and microfinance through Samurdhi Bank societies. The old age system is governed by the Employees’ Provident Fund Act No. 15 of 1958, and amendments, and the Employees’ Trust Fund Act No. 46 of 1980, and amendments. Sickness and maternity benefits are governed by the Maternity Benefits Ordinance No. 32 of 1941 and the Shop and Office Employees Act 1954, respectively. Work injury benefits are governed by the Workmen’s Compensation Ordinance No. 19 of 1934, and amendments. Family benefits for low income families are governed by the Divineguma Act No. 1 of 2013. Application to the MPA: Contractors and all agencies/authorities that hire workers under activities funded by the Project will be expected to adhere to social security benefits to be provided to workers, if and when applicable. Further, specific measures will be developed under the MPA to ensure that adverse impacts on vulnerable groups identified under the project are minimized while positive benefits are enhanced. 4.1.2.4 Women’s Charter of Sri Lanka The state policy on women in Sri Lanka is articulated in the Sri Lanka Women’s Charter of 1993, which is based on United Nation Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women. Seven areas of concern, specific to women in Sri Lanka are addressed in the Charter (civil and political rights, right to education and training, right to economic activity and benefits, right to healthcare and nutrition, rights within the family, right to protection from social discrimination, and right to protection from gender-based violence). The Charter provides for the establishment of a 15- member National Committee on Women, to monitor and ensure the implementation of the provisions of the Charter. Application to the MPA: Specific measures developed under the MPA to support women and vulnerable groups will adhere to the obligations made under the Charter. 4.1.2.5 The Antiquities Ordinance The protection of cultural heritage in Sri Lanka is provided through a series of legislation, including the Antiquities Ordinance No. 9 of 1940 as amended by the Antiquities (Amendment) Act No. 24 of 1998, the Treasure Trove Ordinance No. 18 of 1887, the National Environmental Act No. 47 of 1980 as amended by the Acts No. 57 of 1988 and No. 53 of 2000, the Central Cultural Fund Act No. 57 of 1980, the Sigiriya Heritage Foundation Act No. 62 of 1998, the Cultural Property Act No.73 of 1988, and the Galle Heritage Foundation Act No. 7 of 1994. Natural heritage is protected by the Natural Heritage Wilderness Areas Act No. 3 of 1988, and the National Environment Act No. 47 of 1980 stipulates the protection on both cultural and natural heritage. Archaeological monuments (including ancient constructions of historical and archaeological value) can be declared as such by the Minister, under the Antiquities Ordinance. Ancient monuments situated on state lands and ancient trees growing in state land or any other land can also be declared as ancient monument in order to secure the preservation or protection of them. Ancient monuments situated on private land can be declared as protected monuments, after calling for objections. The Antiquities Ordinance vests the Department of Archaeology with authority to commence or carry out any work of restoration, repair, or addition in connection with any protected monument subsequent to it being declared as such. Under regulations under the Antiquities Ordinance, a prescribed zone of 400 yards 54 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 from an ancient monument or protected monument is reserved, and erection of buildings, carrying on of ruining, quarrying, or blasting operations are prohibited within that reserved zone. Application to the MPA: Interventions under the MPA may have an adverse impact on sites of archeological and cultural significance. Specific measures to ensure chance find physical cultural resources are managed as per this ordinance, specific measures are embedded into the project environmental and social due diligence procedures. 4.1.2.6 Right to Information Act 2016 The Right to Information Act No. 12 of 2016 (RTI) established the principle of ‘open government’ and citizens’ access to information in Sri Lanka, in order to foster a culture of transparency and accountability in public authorities. The Act creates a right of access to information held by a public authority, specifies the grounds on which access may be denied, and creates a Right to Information Commission to hear appeals from refusals to grant access to information and monitor compliance with the Act. The Act requires proactive disclosure of certain information, including bi-annual reports by Ministers detailing, among others, the functions and duties of Ministries and Ministry staff, procedures that govern the discharge of duties and exercise of power, and details of budgets and expenditure. The Act also establishes a process whereby Ministers are required to inform the general public, and all persons likely to be affected, about the initiation of projects by their Ministries three months prior to their commencement. For urgent projects, the timeframe is one week prior to the commencement of the project, and the reasons for urgency are required to be communicated to the RTI Commission. Application to the MPA: Mechanisms and procedures for consultations, information disclosure, and the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) will adhere to the provisions in the Act. 4.1.2.1 National Environmental Act No. 47 of 1980 The National Environmental Act No. 47 of 1980 (NEA) is umbrella legislation that provides a holistic framework for the protection and improvement of the environment. The NEA provides conservation and development guidelines for natural resources including water, soil, fisheries resources, forest, flora and fauna in Sri Lanka. The NEA has also paved the way for the creation of the Central Environmental Authority (CEA). Further it spells out the creation of an Environmental Council in collaboration with the respective line agencies to advise the CEA (Section7) and provide necessary guidelines to establish District Environmental Agency under the chairmanship of the District Secretary. The CEA’s environmental management functions are holistic, and they are very well set out in section IV of the act. The CEA operates three primary regulatory schemes under the NEA: (1) Environmental Protection Licences (EPL), requiring environmental clearance for projects where industries and activities that pollute are categorised based on their pollution potential; (2) Environmental Impact Assessment/Initial Environmental Examination (EIA/IEE), requiring development projects to integrate environmental considerations, including addressing the likely impact of a project on the environment and ways to reduce unacceptable impacts, from the early planning stages of a proposed project; and (3) Scheduled Waste Management Licencing, requiring persons involved in the handling of waste to obtain a licence. Further, the National Environment Act No. 47 of 1980, as amended in 1988, also refers to involuntary resettlement. The Minister has by Gazette notifications 772/22 published on 24 June 1993 and No 859/14 of 23.02.1995, determined the types of projects for which an EIA is required under Part IV (c) of the Act. The prescribed project schedule requiring EIA includes item 12, which refers to “involuntary resettlement exceeding 20 families, other than resettlement resulting from emergency situations”. 55 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 The Minister by order published in the Gazette has specified the projects and undertakings in respect of which approval should be obtained from the Project Approving Agency (PAAs). Typically, the PAA is also the project proponent and is required to prepare an IEE or EIA according to CEA guidelines. Application to the MPA: The proposed programme includes several physical interventions, including the flood bunds and the construction of upstream reservoirs, which are projects that require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the provisions in the National Environmental Act. The guidelines provided in the EAMF, prepared under the MPA, will be applied to adhere to the provisions under the Act. 4.1.2.2 The Flood Protection Ordinance Act No.22 of 1955 This Act provides room for the Minister to declare any area in the country as a flood area. It has provisions to prepare a scheme for the protection of a flood area, the creation of a flood authority, regulations for the management of a flood area, and acquisition of land for the purpose of the ordinance. The flood authority is usually the District Secretary of the affected area. For larger areas, such as a municipality, the Minister may appoint the Mayor of the municipality as the flood authority. Application to the MPA: As the whole Project focuses on flood mitigation, the provisions of the Act are relevant and will be adhered to in the design and implementation of different interventions under the MPA. 4.1.2.3 Disaster Management Act No. 13 of 2005 Under the Disaster Management Act No.13 of 2005, there is provision to establish a National Council for Disaster Management (NCDM). The Act defines “disaster” as an actual or imminent occurrence of a natural or man-made event, which endangers or threatens to endanger the safety or health of any person or group of persons in Sri Lanka, or which destroys or damages or threatens to destroy or damage any property. The Act mentions that disasters may happen as the result of a malfunction of the normal operating procedures or precipitated by the intervention of an outside force, such as a cyclone, flood, or deliberate acts of arson or sabotage. The objective of this Act is to protect human life, property, and the environment of Sri Lanka from any event defined as a disaster. This Act plays a key role in protecting the environment and provides necessary guidelines for the protection of human life, property, and the environment of the country. The major functions of the NCDM include: formulating a National Policy and Programme on the management of disasters, which will provide for the protection of life of the community and environment and the maintenance and development of disaster affected areas; the effective use of resources for preparedness prevention, response, relief, reconstruction, and rehabilitation; and the enhancement of public awareness and training to help people to protect themselves from disasters. Under section 10 of the Act, every ministry, government department, and corporation must prepare a Disaster Management Plan to counter any disaster or impending disaster. This must be done in accordance with any guidelines set out by the NCDM. Application to the MPA: The Project itself is a response to an associated disaster. Thus, all the provisions in the Act will be applicable under the MPA. 4.1.2.4 Water Resources Board Act No. 29 of 1964 The primary responsibility of the Water Resources Board is the control, regulation, and development (including the conservation and utilization) of water resources of the country. In addition, responsibilities are to promote afforestration, the control of soil erosion, and the prevention of the pollution of rivers, streams, and other water sources. The Water Resources Board is the key player of 56 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 the formulation of national policies relating to the control and use of water resources of the country, as well as co-ordinating projects undertaken by government departments, local authorities, and public corporations relating to the conservation, utilization development of the subterranean water resources of the country, and the assessment of the possibilities, benefits, and economic feasibilities of such projects. Application to the MPA: This Act will not be applicable under the current framework of planned Project interventions. However, the Project will work in close co-ordination with the Water Resources Board, under whose jurisdiction the main drinking water supply intake to Colombo city located at Ambatale is. The Project will involve the construction of a new salinity barrier at this location where close collaboration between the Water Resources Board and the Irrigation Department will be required for sound implementation. 4.1.2.5 Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka Act No.23 of 1979 This Act established the Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka, which is the authority responsible for the implementation of the Mahaweli Ganga Development Schemes. This includes the construction and operation of reservoirs, irrigation distribution systems, and installations for the generation and supply of electrical energy. Further, the functions of the Authority include fostering and securing the full and integrated development of any special area, conservation and maintenance of the physical environment within any special area, optimizing agricultural productivity, employment potential and generation and securing economic and agricultural development within any special area, and the promotion and securing the co-operation of government departments, state institutions, local authorities, public co-operation and other persons, whether private or public, in the planning and implementation of the Mahaweli Ganga Development Schemes and in the development of any special area. Application to the MPA: Development interventions proposed to be carried out in and around Mahaweli Development area should obtain consent from the Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka as per the Act. As of now there are no sub-projects identified that fall within this area. 4.1.2.6 Urban Development Authority Law No. 41 of 1978 The Urban Development Authority (UDA) was established by this Act to promote integrated planning and implementation of economic, social, and physical development of the areas declared by the Minister in-charge of Urban Development. The UDA has been empowered to function as the key urban planning and implementing agency of the country. The Act permits the Minister in charge of Urban Development to designate an area as an ‘Urban Development Area’, which initiates economic and physical development in those areas. The Act stipulates the only manner in which the UDA can acquire land is through the procedures of the LAA. Application to the MPA: Many areas to be covered under the MPA, including key areas to be resettled for Project interventions, fall under the UDA jurisdiction, including the Colombo Metropolitan Region. Project activities need to maintain consistency with the UDA regulations, especially in terms of the land acquisition and resettlement activities that will be financed under Phase I and II of the MPA. 4.1.2.7 Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation Act No. 15 of 1968 The Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation (SLLRDC), initially known as the Colombo District Low-Lying Areas Reclamation and Development Board, was established by Act No. 15 of 1968. The mandate of the SLLRDC is to: reclaim and develop marshy and low-lying areas of land 57 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 declared as such in order to render such areas suitable for building, industrial, commercial, or agricultural purposes; have the custody, management, and control of reclaimed areas; undertake construction work and consultancy services in the field of engineering; and to have the custody, management, improvement, maintenance, and control of canals and the prevention of pollution of canals. Application to the MPA: The Kelani River Basin includes a number of key retention areas that come under the SLLRDC. The flood and drought management activities proposed are being designed in close collaboration between the SLLRDC and the ID. It is essential that any wetlands identified by the SLLRDC for protection are maintained in the same way as part of Project interventions. Any works on these retention areas will need concurrence from the SLLRDC as per their mandate. 4.2 Relevant Government Agencies in the Kelani River Basin Projects executed in the Kelani River Basin may come under various state agencies. The key agencies that play a role in development programmes in the wider Project area where the interventions under the MPA will be implemented are described below. 4.2.1.1 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development The Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development (previously, the Ministry of Irrigation, Water Resource and Disaster Management (MIWRDM)) has the mandate to develop the nation's water resources and irrigation infrastructure. The Ministry is responsible for the management of river basins, groundwater sources and irrigation systems, conservation and protection of sources of water (including groundwater), monitoring pollution levels and ensuring water quality, and preventing salt water intrusions into fresh water sources. It is also charged with the allocation of water resources at the national level (though different to the role and functions of the National Water Supply and Drainage Board), maintaining national drainage networks and flood protection systems, provisioning engineering consultancy services in relation to surface and groundwater hydrology, and providing oversight and promotion of rainwater harvesting. To this end, the ministry adopts policies and legislation, and provides guidance, advice and consultancy. 4.2.1.2 Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development The Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development (MoM&WD) was established in terms of the provisions published in the Extra Ordinary Gazette No.1933/13 dated 21st September 2015. Accordingly, MoM&WD is mandated to carry out the following functions: • Formulation of policies, programs and projects, monitoring and evaluation in regard to the subjects of Megapolis and Western Development, and those subjects that come under the purview of departments, statutory institutions and public corporations assigned to the Ministry. • Kottawa, Kaduwela and Kadawatha Township Development Project and related activities. • The integrated and systematic promotion and regulation of economic, social and physical development of urban areas. • Urban solid waste management. 58 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • Matters relating to the reclamation and development of low-lying areas. • Provide necessary guidance to develop urban areas with low levels of services and facilities. • Preparation of National Physical Plans and Regional Physical Plans. • Direct and regulate all construction work on the basis of National Physical Plans in integrated urban development. • Matters relating to all other subjects assigned to the institutions coming under the purview of the Ministry. • Supervision of the institutions coming under the purview of the Ministry. The objective of the Ministry is to plan and develop the Western Province of Sri Lanka as a megacity with over 8 million people as a business, communication and logistic hub. For this purpose, government will take actions to ensure the provision of infrastructure, water, sewerage, electricity, housing, and premises for economic, social and religious activities, educational institutions, health services, transport and other essential activities in the province. 4.2.1.3 Road Development Authority The RDA is the premier highway authority in the country and is responsible for the maintenance and development of the National Highway Network, comprising the Trunk (A Class) roads, Main (B Class) roads and Expressways and the planning, design and construction of new highways, bridges and expressways to augment the existing road network. Provincial directors have been appointed for each province to maintain the road network within the respective province. Under the preview of the provincial director, a chief engineer is responsible for each district in a given province. Several executive engineers are appointed to work under the chief engineer. RDA also has a Project Management Unit (PMU) system for certain projects, which is headed by a Project Director with the assistance of engineering and administrative personnel who are assigned to or contracted for the project. The PMU system is mainly used for projects funded by international development agencies. The MPA may require the intervention of RDA in the event of having to re-align, re-construct or develop the road network that would be affected by the construction of river embankments and their associated infrastructure. 4.2.1.4 Urban Development Authority The principal activity of the Urban Development Authority (UDA) is to promote and regulate integrated planning and physical development, having regard to the amenities and services provided to the community, and to prepare development plans for such development areas. Further, the UDA formulates and implements urban land use policies and the development of environmental standards. 4.2.1.5 National Water Supply and Drainage Board The National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) is the National national Organization organization responsible for the provision of safe drinking water and for facilitating the provision of sanitation to the people in Sri Lanka. The organization had its beginning as a sub- department of the Public Works Department, responsible for water supply and drainage. The main intake for the water supply to the greater Colombo area is at Ambatale, on the Kelani River. A second intake is located at Biyagama and pumping water to Biyagama water treatment plant is also under NWSDB. These two intakes are located in the area which comes under Phase II of the MPA. 59 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 4.2.1.6 Ceylon Electricity Board The Ceylon Electricity Board or (CEB) is the largest electricity company in Sri Lanka. It is a government owned and controlled utility, and has a market share of nearly 100%. The CEB was established by the CEB Act No.17 of 1969, and has the legal obligation to develop and maintain an efficient, coordinated and economical system of electricity supply in accordance with the licenses issued by government. CEB comes under the authority of the Ministry of Power and Renewable Energy. CEB controls all the major functions of electricity generation, transmission, distribution and retailing in Sri Lanka. It is one of the only two on-grid electricity companies in the country; the other being Lanka Electricity Company (LECO). 4.2.1.7 Ministry of Lands and Parliamentary Reforms The Ministry of Lands was established in 1932, as per the recommendation of the Committee appointed in respect of the subject of Land and Agriculture of the State Council 1931. The key functions of the Land Ministry include is formulating and implementing policies to conserve state lands, managing land settlement and land acquisition for public purposes within the country, land surveying, land acquisition, land alienation, disposition and development of land, land use policy and planning, and the registration of land titles. The Ministry of Land is the key government institute responsible for land acquisition and for administering the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy. Activities related to land acquisition and involuntary resettlement are carried out in collaboration with a wide network of public and civil society organizations, which include the project implementing agencies and their relevant ministries, the government printer, the Valuation Department, the Survey Department and Divisional Secretariats. 4.2.1.8 Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation As already described in this chapter, the Corporation is responsible for the maintenance of the canals in Colombo and in any other areas declared. The Colombo District Low-lying Areas Reclamation and Development Board was established in 1968 by Act No. 15 of 1968, with the twin objectives of reclaiming and developing marshy and low-lying areas declared under Section 2 of the Act, and to retain the custody, management and control of such vested lands. In 1979, the activities of the organization, which had been limited to the Colombo District, were extended to the whole of Sri Lanka. The organization was re-designated as the Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation (SLLRDC) by the amendment Act No. 52 of 1982, and its scope of activities was extended to include construction work and engineering consultancy services. 4.2.1.9 Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka The Department of Archaeology is a non-ministerial government department responsible for managing Sri Lanka’s archaeological heritage. At present the department falls under the Ministry of Education. The vision of the department is to promote proper management of Sri Lanka’s archaeological heritage. The principal legislations related to the department’s activities are: The Antiquities Act, No. 09 of 1940, The Antiquities (Amendment) Act No. 24 of 1998, Enhancement of Fines (Amendment) Act No. 12 of 2005, and The Recovery of Government Possession Act No. 07 of 1979. 4.2.1.10 The Department of Fisheries 60 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 The Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DFAR) operates under the purview of the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development, and is its main implementing agency. The mandate of the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources is the management, development and conservation of the fisheries and aquatic resources of Sri Lanka. The department has updated its legal provisions with the introduction of the 1996 Fisheries Act No.2, as well as adopting various related fisheries policies and management practices in line with regional and international conventions and regulations. 4.2.1.11 The Sri Lanka Railways The Sri Lanka Railways Department, more commonly known as Sri Lanka Railways (SLR) comes under the Ministry of Transport. It is the country’s railway owner and primary operator. . Founded in 1858 as the Ceylon Government Railway, it operates the nation's railways and links the capital, Colombo, with other cities and tourist destinations. 4.2.1.12 The Local Government Institutions Section 97 of the Municipal Councils Ordinance No 29 of 1947 empowers a Municipality to construct through or under any enclosed or other land, alter or extend such public mains or other drains, sewers and watercourses necessary for the effectual draining of the municipal area. Section 100 of the said Ordinance authorizes a Municipal Council to cause all public drains, culverts, gutters and watercourses to be so constructed and maintained and kept as not to be a nuisance or injurious to health and to be properly cleaned and emptied. Any person who fills up, or obstructs the free flow in, any public drain is liable for conviction (Section 102). No person is permitted to erect any building over any public drain, culvert, gutter or watercourses without the written consent of the Council (Section 104 [4]). Sections 104 to 109 of the Urban Councils Ordinance No. 61 of 1939 incorporate provisions with respect to drainage within the area of its authority. Section 104 authorizes an urban council to layout, make, alter or extend any drain for the effectual draining of any area within the town. Section 105 empowers it to maintain, repair, enlarge or alter any public drains, culverts, gutters and watercourses so that no nuisance is created by such act. Moreover, no new building can be erected over any public drain, culvert or watercourse. 4.2.1.13 The Disaster Management Center The Disaster Management Center (DMC) was established under the National Council for Disaster Management, in accordance with the Sri Lanka Disaster Management Act No. 13 of 2005, passed by Parliament on 13th May 2005. In collaboration with Ministries, Line Departments, Public Corporations; Provincial Councils, Local Authority Administration as well as District, Division and Grama Niladhari administration; the DMC is charged with the following responsibilities: • Provide information related to natural hazards and risks using appropriate methods to enable proper disaster management decisions • Formulate and implement mitigation strategies for potential future losses • Provide for accurate early warnings and ensure their effective dissemination • Build capacity to respond quickly and effectively to disasters • Enable competent Emergency Operations Management • Effective management of post-disaster activities • Improve community understanding of risks in order to enhance their resilience in the face of disasters 61 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 4.2.1.14 The Board of Investment The Board of Investment (BOI) has its origins in the Greater Colombo Economic Commission, which was established in 1978. Fourteen years later, in 1992, the Commission was reconstituted as the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka. The BOI is structured to function as a central facilitation point for investors. It operates as an autonomous statutory body that is directly responsible to the President of Sri Lanka. It has a Board of Directors drawn from the private and public sectors and is assisted by a Ministerial Committee on Investment Promotion. 4.3 World Bank’s Operational Policies The World Bank has various Operational Policies (OPs) and Bank Procedures (BPs) concerning environmental and social issues, which together constitute the World Bank’s ‘Safeguards Policies.’ All projects funded by World Bank must comply with these policies, if and when relevant. In the context of this MPA, the World Bank’s Policies on Environment Assessment OP/BP 4.01, Natural Habitats OP/BP 4.04, Forests OP/BP 4.36, Physical Cultural Resources OP/BP 4.11, Involuntary Resettlement OP/BP 4.12, and Safety of Dams OP/BP 4.37, have been triggered. In the context of this SMF, the relevant ones include OP/BP 4.01 on Environment Assessment and OP/BP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement. 4.3.1 OP/BP 4.01: Environment Assessment The Project has been categorized as a Category A project. For Category A projects, the World Bank requires an Environmental Assessment (EA) of projects proposed for financing to: ensure that projects are environmentally and socially sound and sustainable; inform decision makers of the nature of environmental and social risks associated with the project interventions; and to increase transparency and participation of stakeholders in the decision-making process. The breadth, depth, and type of analysis to be carried out as part of the EA will depend on the nature, scale, and potential environmental impact of the proposed project. Specifically, an EA evaluates a project’s potential environmental risks and impacts in its area of influence; examines project alternatives; identifies ways of improving project selection, siting, planning, design, and implementation by preventing, minimizing, mitigating, or compensating for adverse environmental impacts and enhancing positive impacts; and includes the process of mitigating and managing adverse environmental impacts throughout project implementation. An EA takes into account the natural environment (air, water, and land); human health and safety; social aspects (involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples, and physical cultural resources); and transboundary and global environmental aspects, in an integrated manner. OP 4.01 also stipulates the consultation and disclosure requirements of the World Bank. 4.3.2 OP/BP 4.12: Involuntary Resettlement Involuntary resettlement covers situations where a project must compensate people for loss of land, other assets, livelihood, or standard of living. The World Bank operational policies seek to: (a) avoid where feasible or minimise involuntary resettlement, exploring all viable alternative project designs; (b) if not feasible, carry out resettlement activities as sustainable development programmes that provide sufficient resources to enable displaced persons to share in project benefits; (c) ensure that the displaced persons are informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; (d) meaningfully consult the displaced persons and provide them with opportunities to participate in the planning and implementation of resettlement programmes; (e) assist the displaced persons in their 62 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 efforts to improve their standards of living or at least to restore them to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. In situations where there are risks and impacts associated with the losses mentioned above, the World Bank requires that the borrower prepares a Resettlement Plan or a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF). The RPF accompanying this SMF provides specific guidelines to address the risks associated with land acquisition and involuntary resettlement in compliance with OP 4.12, while this SMF focuses mainly on non-land related social impacts associated with/BP OP 4.01. 4.3.3 World Bank Environmental and Social Framework As the CRes MPA was prepared over a year prior to the effectiveness date of the after 1 October 2018, Phase I of the MPA will follow the World Bank’s environmental and social safeguard policies. However, during the preparation of Phase II and Phase III of the MPA, the existing safeguards instruments will be reassessed in line with the ESF as and when they are prepared for approval by the World Bank’s Board of Directors. Briefly, the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) sets out the World Bank’s commitment to sustainable development, through a Bank Policy and a set of Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) that are designed to support the borrowers’ projects, with the aim of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. This Framework comprises the following: • A Vision for Sustainable Development, which sets out the World Bank’s aspirations regarding environmental and social sustainability; • The World Bank Environmental and Social Policy for Investment Project Financing, which sets out the mandatory requirements that apply to the World Bank; • The Environmental and Social Standards, together with their Annexes, which set out the mandatory requirements that apply to the borrower and projects. The World Bank Environmental and Social Policy for Investment Project Financing sets out the requirements that the World Bank must follow regarding projects it supports through Investment Project Financing. Accordingly, the ESS set out the requirements for borrowers relating to the identification and assessment of environmental and social risks and impacts associated with projects supported by the World Bank through Investment Project Financing. The World Bank believes that the application of these standards, by focusing on the identification and management of environmental and social risks, will support borrowers in their goal to reduce poverty and increase prosperity in a sustainable manner for the benefit of the environment and their citizens. The standards will: (a) support borrowers in achieving good international practice relating to environmental and social sustainability; (b) assist borrowers in fulfilling their national and international environmental and social obligations; (c) enhance non-discrimination, transparency, participation, accountability, and governance; and (d) enhance the sustainable development outcomes of projects through ongoing stakeholder engagement. The 10 Environmental and Social Standards establish the standards that the borrower and the project will meet through the project life cycle, as follows: • Environmental and Social Standard 1: Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts; 63 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • Environmental and Social Standard 2: Labour and Working Conditions; • Environmental and Social Standard 3: Resource Efficiency, Pollution Prevention, and Management; • Environmental and Social Standard 4: Community Health and Safety; • Environmental and Social Standard 5: Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use, and Involuntary Resettlement; • Environmental and Social Standard 6: Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources; • Environmental and Social Standard 7: Indigenous Peoples/Sub-Saharan African Historically Underserved Traditional Local Communities; • Environmental and Social Standard 8: Cultural Heritage; • Environmental and Social Standard 9: Financial Intermediaries; and • Environmental and Social Standard 10: Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure. 4.4 National Policies and Application of World Bank’s Safeguards Policies in the MPA To summarise, Sri Lanka has a complex legal system to manage land acquisition, regulate land use, address the issues of gender equality and inclusion, and consultations and information disclosure. The GoSL’s NIRP, LAR 2008, and LAR 2013 are important policy directives that bring the land acquisition and involuntary resettlement processes closer to the World Bank’s safeguards polices. The GoSL’s clearance procedures, especially by the CEA, is in principle consistent with World Bank’s OP 4.01 and public disclosure requirements, except in relation to the screening criteria adopted and the consultation requirements. More specifically, project thresholds are used to determine the type of clearance required and the content of public consultation. As also highlighted in the EAMF and the RPF prepared under the Project, all activities under the Project with an impact on the natural and social environment, will be subjected to social (and environmental) analysis, regardless of the Project threshold. Further, whereas the LAA will remain the main legal procedure for acquiring any private land required for the Project, the APs and households will receive eligible compensation and resettlement benefits as per the EM given in the accompanying RPF, irrespective of their title or occupancy status prior to losing shelter, business, assets, and incomes due to this Project. It is essential to note that while some gaps exist between the GoSL’s national legislation and systems, and the World Bank’s requirements, safeguards instruments are to be developed based on the World Bank requirements. Further, the Loan Agreement between the GoSL and the World Bank requires the Project to be implemented in compliance with the World Bank policies. 64 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 5 Gender and Inclusion Issues relating to gender, vulnerability, and inclusion will be considered from various perspectives within the context of the MPA and this SMF, including: (i) gender-sensitive analysis and identification of risks and benefits associated with activities under the MPA; (ii) Project-specific gender considerations to enhance Project benefits to women, vulnerable groups, and local community members; (iii) measures for ensuring that any risks and impacts arising from Project interventions, that have differential impacts on women and other vulnerable groups, are identified and mitigated; (iv) enhancing the voice and representation of women, especially through continuous engagement and consultations with women, and (v) gender-disaggregated monitoring indicators. 5.1 Gender and Vulnerability Analysis In Sri Lanka, women are more vulnerable to natural disaster compared to men, due to differences in employment status, income, gendered social roles, social norms, and restrictions governing behavior20. The assessments and consultations carried out as part of the preparation of this MPA has identified the following: (i) differentials in access to disaster-related information and early warnings between men and women; (ii) there is a lower participation of women in leadership roles in community disaster preparedness activities; (iii) women and girls face a higher risk of GBV after a natural disaster takes place; and (iii) ownership of assets is also unequal among men and women, particularly land ownership. Women have less access to land ownership due to the preference of males in personal laws (Kandyan law, Thesawalamai law, and Muslim law) and common law around state land transfer. The biased concept of “primogeniture” and “head of household” have also contributed to creating disadvantaged situation for women on property and land rights in the context of the Land Development Ordinance (1935)21. A study22 in three sites in Sri Lanka found that 30% of women surveyed reported owning some form of property. Among all the women who reported to own property, 54% of them own a house only, 13% own a house and land, and 32% own land only. As part of the implementation plan, a detailed baseline analysis will be carried out to understand how communities obtain climate and disaster related information, and how these different communities, including women, people with disabilities, the elderly, or any other such vulnerable groups, can be effectively informed about such information availed through the MPA. Based on the findings of the assessment, an action plan for addressing inclusion issues, including gender, in this operation, will be prepared. 20 De Silva, K., & Jayathilaka, R. (2014). Gender in the context of disaster risk reduction; a case study of a flood risk reduction project in the Gampaha District in Sri Lanka. Procedia Economics and Finance, 18, 873-881. 21 Sri Lanka Shadow Report, The Women and Media Collective Colombo, 2010 (https://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/cedaw/docs/ngo/WMD_SriLanka48.pdf) 22 Property Ownership & Inheritance Rights of Women for Social Protection – The South Asia Experience, International Center for Research on Women, 2006 (https://www.icrw.org/wp- content/uploads/2016/10/Property-Ownership-and-Inheritance-Rights-of-Women-for-Social-Protection-The- South-Asia-Experience.pdf) 65 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 5.2 Enhancing Gender Outcomes under the MPA Gender considerations will be made an integral part of the sub-project planning and implementation for flood risk mitigation measures. To address the gap in leadership, voice, and agency that women experience in community responses and preparedness to disasters, the Project will: • Organize focused information dissemination and awareness raising for female citizen on flood early warning and impact-based forecasting (e.g. how early warning and forecasted information will help women and their families stay safe); • Support preparation of community disaster management plan in the project sites that will help the community to take necessary mitigation actions based on the weather information and early warning to be provided as a result of Component 1; • The use of citizens’ monitoring committees that review and follow up on quality, safety, and progress aspects of the interventions. Measures will be put in place to ensure women’s involvement and increasing leadership in citizens’ monitoring committees. Women will be supported and trained to play leadership roles in these community groups; • To address the gap in ownership of assets identified among the affected population in Component 3, the Project will promptly provide options for women to have joint ownership or independent ownership of the land and house among the resettled household under Component 3 (activity detail is provided in the description of Component 3); • Enhance gender sensitivity of decision-makers, including at the PMU and PIAs, through orientation trainings on gender, and ensure women’s voice and participation in decision- making bodies established under the Project, including the PMU; • Ensure the inclusion of women in the different consultation activities, including through organizing targeted meetings for women. Such consultations will seek to address the needs and explore opportunities to support women and other vulnerable groups; • Develop a robust Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) that is sensitive to the needs of women and other vulnerable groups. 5.3 Mitigating Adverse Impact on Women and Other Vulnerable Groups Gender is a key issue in the social safeguard management in view of the differential vulnerabilities of affected men and women, where the latter often tend to experience the impact much more. In view of their higher vulnerability levels, specific measures will be undertaken to enable the affected women – especially the poor and vulnerable – to cope with the Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) process. These actions/activities will be detailed in each of the subproject-specific RAP, ARAP, ESMPF and/or SIMP, implemented under the MPA. A GBV risk assessment was carried out using the tool provided by the World Bank, and this Project was considered as low risk, with score at 8.75 out of 25. This means that the potential for incidents of GBV to arise due to the proposed investment is low. To take appropriate mitigation action, this operation will follow the guidance put forth in the World Bank’s Good Practice Note on GBV for low risk projects, as recommended by the WB’s GBV task force, including having Codes of Conducts among other measures. Due to the nature of the major civil works involved, the following mitigation measures will be put in place to address the risks: 66 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • All the procurement documents for civil works will put in place codes of conduct, and will be signed by contractors and their employees for appropriate mitigation and prevention actions; • The GRM will be gender sensitive through: (i) representation of women as GRM committee members; and (ii) training and capacity building activities for GRM members on gender issues; • A special procedure will be set up as part of the GRM that can allow GBV-related complaints to be captured and referred to existing credible care service providers as necessary. 5.4 Measuring the impacts The Project will monitor the changes in women’s voice and agency using the following indicators: (i) Number of women who have direct access to improved flood forecasting and warning information; (ii) Number of emergency response plans developed by communities with clear community roles identified; (iii) Number of women who participated in the development of the community disaster management plans; (iv) Percentage increase in joint ownership or female ownership of the land titles among the resettled households; (v) Percentage of grievances resolved in timely manner. 67 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 6 Managing the Risks of Adverse Impacts from Labour Influx Project activities supported under the MPA will often involve the construction of civil works for which the required labour force and associated goods and services cannot be fully supplied locally for a number of reasons, among them worker unavailability and a lack of technical skills and capacity. In such instances, the labour force (total or partial) will have to be brought in from outside the project area. In many cases, this influx is compounded by an influx of other people (“followers”) who follow the incoming workforce with the aim of selling them goods and services, or in pursuit of job or business opportunities. 6.1 Potential adverse impacts due to labour influx On the one hand, an appropriately managed labour influx can provide potential benefits for the community, including economic opportunities through employment and/or training by the project, contributions to the local economy by selling goods and services, the provision of local infrastructure (such as access roads, power, or water connection) which is developed for the project and which serves the community beyond the project duration. However, the rapid migration to and settlement of workers and ‘followers’ in the project area can affect project areas negatively in terms of: • Risks of social conflict, especially between the local community and the construction workers, and also between different groups within the labour force; • An increased risk of illicit behaviour and crime through the influx of workers and service providers into communities and the resultant perception of insecurity by the local community; • Discontent amongst the local community on the engagement of outsiders in the project, especially in terms of job opportunities and crowding out of locals; • An increased burden on and competition for public service provision, such as water, electricity, medical services, transport, education, and social services; • Local inflation of prices, with the increase in demand for goods and services due to labour influx, and increased pressure on accommodations and rents, which may lead to price hikes and crowding out of local residents; • An increased risk of communicable diseases and burden on local health services, including sexually transmitted diseases; • GBV, particularly in the form of inappropriate behaviour, such as sexual harassment of women and girls, exploitative sexual relations, and illicit sexual relations with minors from the local community; • Child labour and school dropout, especially following the increased opportunities for the host community to sell goods and services to the incoming workers; • Risks of exploitation of labourers, especially in the form of hiring underage labourers, low and unequal wage payments, forced labour, and discrimination on basis of the basis of gender, caste, religion, or ethnicity. The potential for these risks is more likely in project sites that are in isolated areas and/or in areas where the scope of construction work is large and the possibilities for hiring local labourers is limited, thus requiring labourers and workers to be brought in from outside. 68 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 To address the above-mentioned impacts from labour influx on local communities, the Project will: • Reduce labour influx by tapping into the local workforce, to the extent possible; • Assess and manage labour influx risks based on appropriate instruments; and • Incorporate social and environmental mitigation measures, including those relating to GBV, into the civil works contract. 6.2 Assessment and management of risks and impacts To address the risks and adverse impacts on communities from the Project induced labour influx, the following steps will be adopted: • Administer the Social Screening Checklist prepared for this SMF/RPF to identify and assess the type and significance of potential social impacts on local communities that may be generated by labour influx; • As part of the SIA, carry out an assessment of the location of the Project, contextual factors of the location, and the legal and policy framework of the GoSL, if the screening suggests potential impacts; • Incorporate the recommendations the SIA, including those relating to SEA risks, and define mitigation measures, including those recommended by the World Bank’s Good Practice Note on GBV, which has been prepared based on the recommendation of World Bank’s Global GBV Task Force23; • Develop specific measures to mitigate the risks associated with the social and environmental impacts from labour influx into the ESMP/SIMP in consultation with affected communities, in the civil works bidding documents, and subsequent contracts (contractor responsibilities are outlined in Box 1 below); • Implement the appropriate mitigation and monitoring programmes, which includes the development and implementation of a stakeholder engagement programme; • Establish a GRM for workers and host community which among others will integrate protocols established by the World Bank’s Good Practice Note on GBV; • Monitor and supervise regularly, including on GBV-related issues, in co-ordination with other government agencies and civil society organisations; and • Prepare periodic reports for submission to the PMU, the World Bank, and other relevant Ministry/government agencies on implementation and the results of the ESMP, SIMP, EMP, and other relevant plans, as well as the GRM resolutions relating to labour and GBV-related issues. 23 Report of the Global Gender-Based Violence Task Force (2017): Working together to prevent sexual exploitation and abuse: recommendations for World Bank investment projects (http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/482251502095751999/Working-together-to-prevent-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse-recommendations-for-World-Bank-investment- projects) 69 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Further, mitigation measures will be driven by consultations with stakeholders and in alignment with the World Bank’s Guidelines on ‘Managing the Risks of Adverse Impacts on Communities from Temporary Project Induced Labour Influx’. It will be the contractor’s obligation to prepare and submit a plan that outlines code of conduct for workers, worker camp management plan and measures to address GBV. These will be part of the tender package and construction contract as elaborated in Box 1. Box 1. Contractors’ Responsibilities The Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and/or the Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) is developed during project preparation. Based on the findings of the screening report and SIA of the sub-project activities supported under the MPA, the management plans contain general mitigation measures. These mitigation measures will be part of the tender package and construction contract. Prior to starting construction, the Contractor will be required to prepare and submit its own ESMP/SIMP to the supervision engineer (who is the GoSL’s representative) for acceptance. The Contractor’s ESMP/SIMP will provide a detailed explanation of how the Contractor will comply with the Project’s safeguards documents, including the RAP, ESMP, and SIMP, and demonstrate that sufficient funds are budgeted for that purpose. The Contractor’s ESMP/SIMP will include management plans for: (i) work activities; (ii) traffic management; (iii) occupational health and safety; (iv) environmental management; (v) social management; (vi) labour influx and worker camp management plan; (vii) code of conduct for workers, including measures to address GBV; and (vii) chance-finds, where relevant. The PMU will verify and ensure the consistency of the Contractor’s ESMP/SIMP and the plan prepared under each sup-project under the MPA. If issues emerge during implementation for which the Contractor’s ESMP/SIMP does not contain appropriate mitigation measures, the Contractor will be required to update their ESMP/SIMP to include such mitigation measures and, if necessary, the civil works contract will be amended. Civil works for the MPA sub-projects will not commence until the Contractor prepares an appropriate ESMP/SIMP, which properly identifies and proposes risk mitigation measures, and it is approved by the PMU. During implementation, the Contractor will implement civil works in accordance with its ESMP/SIMP, including all works conducted by sub-contractors under the Contractor’s control. The Contractor will also be required to train workers on the roles and responsibilities under these plans, policies, and standards. The Contractor will submit regular reports to the PMU and/or other relevant Ministry/Agency, and proactively address any issues that arise. 70 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 7 Social Management Planning This chapter provides strategies and principles for identifying project affected individuals, families, and communities; to assess potential social impacts of sub-projects; and suggests measures to avoid/minimize and manage any adverse impacts. The SMF is meant to enable the PMU to adequately incorporate social safeguard considerations in the planning, execution, and operation/management of different activities. The SMF will apply to the planning and implementation of all activities to be undertaken under the MPA. The process for social and environmental impact screening and subsequent preparation of mitigation and management measures will follow the steps as outlined below. The World Bank will review the documentation prepared and may undertake site visits on a periodic basis to ensure that World Bank procedures were followed (see Figure 15). Figure 15: Safeguards management, review, and clearance process Responsibilities of the PMU Responsibilities of the World Bank Identification of Activities under Project components No Screening cleared by World Screening Bank Yes No Prepare and submit SSR, SIA Review and clearance by World reports, ESMP, SIMP, RAP/A- Bank RAP Yes Disclosure in-country Disclosure by the World Bank Include SIAMP, SIMP, ESMP and other relevant safeguards plans/ instruments as part of bidding documents, as needed 71 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 7.1 Social Screening All physical interventions will be subject to a social and environmental review (a separate EAMF has been prepared to guide environmental management) and will be categorised based on the magnitude of potential impacts and risks in accordance with the social screening criteria. Screening of sub- projects for assessing their potential impacts will be carried out by the PMU for each phase of the interventions under the MPA using the Social Screening checklist given in Annex I. The process of the screening, and subsequently, the screening reports will be prepared on the basis of: (i) field visits, data collection, and stakeholder consultations; (ii) data analysis and interpretation; (iii) impact identification; and (iv) using the ‘Social Screening Format,’ including recommendations for the next steps. The preliminary assessments conducted during project preparation indicate that both phases of Stage 1 and the two reservoir projects envisaged under Stage 2, will require full, detailed RAPs. For other project activities where the impacts are not as significant (but needs to be verified by applying the Social Screening Checklist), a Social Screening Report (SSR) will be prepared by the social specialist and/or consultant, and the person in-charge of the PMU Land Acquisition and Resettlement Unit (LARU), will finally endorse the social screening, safeguard categorization of the proposed sub-project, and the SSR. A sample template for the SSR is provided in Annex II. 7.2 Social Impact Assessment, inventory of losses, and valuation If the social screening indicates that the Project will potentially lead to ‘major impacts’ or ‘moderate impacts,’ the PMU will follow the procedures outlined in the accompanying RPF prepared under the Project, which includes carrying out a comprehensive SIA, a census survey, and an inventory of losses, and will require the preparation and implementation of a comprehensive RAP (see the accompanying RPF for guidance on the preparation of RAP). However, Abbreviated RAPs (A-RAPs) will be prepared for sub-projects affecting less than 200 persons. If a sub-project has no adverse impact, a SSR (see Annex II) will be prepared confirming the same and also stating reasons for the same. Table 15 below summarises the safeguards documentation requirements. The details of these impacts from land acquisition and the relevant SSR, abbreviated and full RAPs, will be shared with the World Bank for review and clearance prior to the acquisition of land and start of civil works. Annex III includes a sample ToR for carrying out Social Impact Assessment and preparing safeguards action plan.

Such safeguards management plans will address the relevant findings and draw on the conclusions of the screening/assessments as they relate to non-land related impacts of the Project interventions. The SIMP will describe and prioritize the actions needed to implement mitigation measures, corrective actions, and monitoring measures necessary to manage the impacts and risks identified in the assessments. These actions will be costed and reflected as part of the contractual documents of the civil works contractors, wherever relevant. Further, for activities that involve land- based losses, a separate A-RAP or RAP will be prepared in accordance with the RPF developed under the Project (see Annex V for a sample of a SIMP). Where relevant, the SSRs, A-RAPs, RAPs, and SIMPs will also include specific measures relating to gender, community consultations, vulnerable groups, labour influx, and GBV, among others as described in the SMF. 7.4 Review and Clearance of Safeguards Documents The PMU will be responsible for preparing and implementing the social management plans, including ESMPs and SIMPs (in addition to the RAP and ARAPs, as discussed in the accompanying RPF). These management plans will have to be reviewed and approved by the head of the Social and Resettlement Unit (SRU) of the PMU (see below for details), and submitted to the World Bank for review. The World Bank Task Team will also review the documents, conduct a due diligence review as needed, and provide feedback (as necessary) to the PMU, leading to approval and clearance of the safeguard instruments. The approved management plans by both the GOSL and the Bank together with their translations in Sinhala and Tamil will be posted on the project’s website as well as the World Bank’s external website. 7.5 Implementation – Supervision, Monitoring, and Evaluation Timely and effective monitoring is fundamental to ensure compliance, timely decision-making, to facilitate adaptive management and effective implementation of mitigating measures, and to adequately inform project evaluation and closure. Implementation of sub-project safeguards instruments is the responsibility of the PMU, contractors, and other relevant government agencies, if necessary. Costs associated with the GoSL processes and the cost of monitoring will be borne by the PMU, and the PMU will also be responsible for employing monitoring teams. Members of the monitoring teams will have been trained in the application of the SMF and the RPF to undertake safeguards compliance monitoring. PMU compliance monitoring reports will be prepared on a monthly basis and reported to the World Bank on a semi-annual basis, or as and when required. A communications protocol will be established, whereby any incident that may occur between the reporting periods, is promptly reported to the World Bank. 73 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 8 Consultations, Grievance Redress Mechanism, Information Disclosure 8.1 Consultations Public consultation and community participation will be fundamental in ensuring the Project’s acceptability and establishing a constructive relationship between the community and the Project. It is essential to provide accurate information about the Project to stakeholders (including people affected by the Project) from the planning stage onwards, to prevent misunderstanding and misinformation, and to build trust between the different stakeholders and the Project team. A solid and comprehensive consultation programme will help the Project team to engage in more effective and focused discussions with the stakeholders, to share ideas about planning and implementation, to benefit from local knowledge, and to take more informed decisions. This chapter outlines the consultations that were conducted during the preparation of this SMF, as well as the accompanying RPF and the RAP for the embankments, and will be conducted during preparation of the RPF and RAPs, It offers guidelines to help the PMU engage with stakeholders during Project planning and implementation. 8.1.1 Consultations during preparation of the Safeguards Instruments Consultations were conducted in 21 Divisional Secretary Divisions with respective government authorities as well as community members (Table 18). These included: members of Pradheshiya sabha (local councils), members of municipal councils, Grama Niladharis, political party representatives, municipal engineers, representatives from other ongoing projects, experts (environmentalists, agronomists, engineers, agriculturalists), representatives from business houses, small-business owners, community development officers, laborers, farmers, householders, community leaders, civil society groups (e.g., Senior citizen union, NGOs, media, disaster management committees, agriculture researchers), land use planning officers, government employees, etc. In addition, eight national agencies identified as key stakeholders were also engaged during this process.

The LAA requires mandatory notifications, including the display of the section 2 notice, calling for enquiries into ownership under the section 7 notification, and regarding the award and payment of compensation under section 17. However, these notifications are limited to the land acquisition process. Persons that are not directly affected by the Project interventions also need to be informed about the Project, including the general public and the non-landowners people that may be directly or indirectly affected by the Project. Specifically, the PMU will organize different types of consultation sessions, organize public meetings, hold focus group discussions, carry out household surveys, and engage in direct one-to-one consultations with the people that will be directly affected by the Project. Further detailed consultations will be held with the people living in the Project areas to discuss the inventory and verification of their losses and their assets that are affected. 8.1.3 Process for Stakeholder Engagement and Consultations As mentioned above, in principle, consultations are aimed at obtaining stakeholder co-operation and community engagement throughout the Project cycle, providing both primary and secondary stakeholders with opportunities to meaningfully contribute to the development process. Under the MPA, these processes would be undertaken during Project identification, Project planning, and implementation. A potential model for stakeholder consultation and participation for sub-projects under the MPA is discussed below. Project planning Information on each stage of the Project will be disclosed to the affected communities in order to inform them and ascertain their potential roles and responsibilities. At the planning stage, the participants would be engaged in an interactive process that allows the affected communities, Project design team and planners to identify the most appropriate alternatives and options for finalizing the 78 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 detailed designs. The analysis of who will be affected by the Project, and consultation with the affected people will be mandatory for preparation of the RAP, which will be carried out in parallel during this stage. The socio-economic surveys, census, and inventory of potential impacts are an integral pre- requisite for preparation of the RAP. Project implementation The PMU will interact closely with the affected communities during Project implementation. Much of the discussion will focus on the issues relating to relocation, loss of livelihood, vulnerabilities, assistance to minimize the impacts on livelihoods, and on the resources that may be affected during implementation of the Project. The PMU will also co-ordinate closely with the relevant line agencies responsible for land acquisition, recovery, and improvement of livelihoods and income generations. Table 17 indicates the key activities relating to consultations that will be undertaken during Project identification, planning, design, and implementation. The exact timing of these activities will be determined by factors that include progress of the general and detailed designs for each intervention, the prioritization of the project activities, and the staffing and resources available to the PMU. Table 18: Consultation activities for various stages in project cycle Project Stage • Consultation Activities Project • Identify the project stakeholders (primary and secondary) identification • Engage stakeholders in the consultation process • Organize information material and plans means of dissemination • Organize and document public meetings, and • Identify the need for preparation of Resettlement Plans Project planning • Convene and record meetings with potential displaced persons and or and Design potential host population • Consult with affected people about relocation alternatives and income restoration options • Involve APs in assessing project impacts • Institutionalize a participatory framework for compensation, income restoration and resettlement • Obtain inputs from potential displaced persons, hosts, CBOs on selection and development of resettlement sites • Establish Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) procedures, with representatives of the people affected • Involve potentially displaced persons in the review of the Resettlement Plan Implementation • Organize participation of the potential displaced persons in implementation of the Resettlement Plan • Involve CBOs and other suitable institutions in resettlement efforts • Support from CBOs and the private sector in livelihood and income restoration efforts • Involve affected people in decision-making committees; • Ensure that GRC procedure is functional; and • Involve affected people in monitoring and evaluation. 79 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 The PMU will keep records of public consultations, noting dates, locations, participants, salient issues raised, and responses to such issues. The procedures for consultation and communication, as well as the dissemination of information, will be formalized by the PMU. 8.2 Information Disclosure Information about each phase of the Project will be provided to the public through flyers and public notices put up at strategic locations, such as Divisional Secretariat offices, Grama Niladhari offices, and at the site offices established in the field before the land acquisition and resettlement activities have started. The Project will also provide up-to-date information on the Project website, through social media and through on local radio and TV stations. A Public Information Booklet (PIB) will be delivered to each household in the immediately affected area. It should include relevant information on the Project and should explain the rights of the affected people, including the compensation and rehabilitation measures, and provide information on who to contact in case of doubts or queries. It will be translated into Sinhala and Tamil. The PIB will include the following information: • Brief description of the Project; • Potential impacts that can be expected during the Project; • Compensation policy and entitlements; • An outline of the livelihood restoration measures; • Consultation and participation with affected persons and others, including people living in the “host communities”; • Implementation schedule with the names and designations of key officers in charge; • Location of the site offices and names, telephone numbers, and emails of the persons to be contacted for further information. The SMF and the RPF were disclosed on the GoSL’s website on XX, and on World Bank’s external website on XX. During Project implementation, sub-project specific instruments and plans will be disclosed after review and clearance by the World Bank. These documents and plans, including sub- project specific SMPs, RAPs/A-RAPs, SSRs, or other social impact mitigation plans to be implemented, will be publicly disclosed in-country as well as on the World Bank’s external website. At the sub-project level, the PMU will work with the LAs to ensure adequate information is available to the public. All the social and environmental safeguards documentation will be made accessible to the public in local languages through the websites and the offices of the PMU, the relevant local authorities, as well as the World Bank’s external website. As part of the overall results monitoring framework, the Project will also track the number of communication and citizen engagement programmes implemented, the number of participants involved in consultation activities during Project implementation, and the resolution of grievances/complaints filed. Those will also include gender disaggregated data. 80 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 8.3 Grievance Redress Mechanism Large-scale development projects can affect people in many ways. The problems arising from land acquisition may include social, environmental issues, and claims relating to entitlement to resettlement benefits. There may also be concerns related to the construction activities, such as site clearing, excavation, compaction, and blasting. These issues can to some extent be resolved by good planning and good project implementation, and above all by ensuring full and honest participation and consultation with the people that will be affected by the project, supported through regular interaction between the community and project staff, transparency and monitoring. However, it is almost inevitable that there will be some complaints and grievances that cannot be addressed at this level and it is strongly recommended that a formal Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) be set up to resolve these concerns rather than leaving them to the often time-consuming and expensive procedures of the formal legal system. The objective of the GRM is to help genuine claimants resolve their problems through a process of mutual understanding and consensus with the relevant parties at the level of the project. This is in addition to the formal legal channels for resolving unsatisfied appeals from the public. Further, a special procedure will be set up as part of the GRM that can allow GBV-related complaints to be captured and referred to existing credible care service providers as necessary. The proposed three-tier grievance redress system for the Project would function at local (DS level) and regional level (District level), with recourse to a national-level body for appeal and for ensuring high-level government commitment, policy support, and co-ordination for the process (a three level GRM). The Proposed Grievance Redress Mechanism is implemented through Grievance Redress Committees (GRC) appointed as follows. 8.3.1 Composition of Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) – Grama Niladhari Level The first level committee, to operate at the site level, will be a committee at the Grama Niladhari level (GN level). The Committee will try to resolve the grievances of persons who live in the immediate Project area. The proposed composition of the committee would include a combination of government and community representatives who would try to resolve grievances in an amicable manner through a process aimed at achieving consensus. The Committee will consist of following members: Grama Niladari of the area Chairman Representative from the local PMU Site Office Secretary Representative of Supervision Consultant (as appropriate) Member Representative of Contractor (if required) Member Representative of a local social organization (NGO/CBO) Member A representative of the community or local religious leader Member 8.3.2 Composition of Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) – Divisional Secretary Level This Committee is expected to address complaints and disputes that cannot be resolved by the Grama Niladhari level committee. In addition to hearing appeal cases coming from the lower level (GN level) committees, this Committee will support the national level committee, providing information and administrative support. This Committee will review decisions coming from GN level committees within 15 working days and will communicate its decision to the claimants and GN level committee within five working days for follow-up actions. The Committee will consist of following members: 81 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Divisional Secretary of the area or a representative nominated by the DS Chairman Representative from the PMU Head Office Secretary Grama Niladhari of the area from which the grievance was registered Member A representative from an NGO/CBO operative in the area Member A respected religious leader/clergy of the area or Community Leader Member 8.3.3 Composition of Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) - National level The GRC at the national level would be located in the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, and will be chaired by an Additional Secretary of the Ministry or a designated representative. The Project Director will serve as the secretary to the committee. In addition to guiding and supervising the grievance system, this Committee will review appeals from people who are not satisfied with the decisions of the lower level Committees. The Committee would comprise the following members: Additional Secretary/ Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Chairman Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development Project Director Secretary Representative of the Supervision firm Member Representative from construction firm (if necessary) Member District Secretary of the District or a representative nominated by the Member Divisional Secretary of the area or a representative nominated by the DS Member Representatives from a Social Organization (if necessary) Member (A national level NGO/CBO operating in the field and have operations in project area The following are some issues that could be taken up at different levels of GRC: • Entitlement or eligibility for compensation and other benefits; • Dust, noise, and vibration nuisance at the construction site; • Loss of access; • Damages to public and private property (especially damage caused by vibration/pile driving); • Removal of religious shrines, statues, or trees; • Problems caused to the public due to road closures; • Storage of construction material obstructing community activities. 8.3.4 Principles of the GRM The GRM will be implemented based on the following principles: • Simplicity: procedures in filing complaints is easy to understand and recall; • Accessibility: filing complaints is easy through means that are commonly used by stakeholders, especially by the APs; • Transparency: information about the system is made widely available to all stakeholders and the general public; 82 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • Timeliness: grievances are attended to and resolved in a timely manner; • Fairness: feedback or complaints are validated thoroughly and subjects of complaints are given due process and opportunities for appeal; • Confidentiality: the identity of complainants remains confidential. To achieve these principles, the GRM will be set up with: multiple channels to submit complaints, including electronic messages, telephone hotlines, SMS, personal delivery/walk-in, and social media accounts; the timely resolution at the lowest possible level; a system for receiving, sorting, verifying, and tracking complaints; public disclosure of salient features of the GRM and ease of access for complainants; public disclosure of complaints/grievance redress arrangements (see Annex VIII). 8.3.5 Awareness-Raising, Monitoring, and Evaluation of the GRM For the GRM to be effective, it will be necessary to explain and publicize the procedures. Trainings and awareness-raising activities will be carried out for the general public, public officers, social organizations, contractors, and Divisional Secretaries in the respective areas so that they are aware of the procedures for GRM. Such training/awareness programmes would cover the following areas, among others: • The scope of the project and planned construction phases; • The purpose and procedures of GRM; • Types of grievances that can and cannot be considered under the GRM; • Eligibility to access the GRM; • Reporting procedures for the GRM and contacts: e.g., phone, postal, email addresses, and websites of the GRM, as well as details of the information that should be included in a complaint; • Procedures and time frames for initiating and concluding the grievance redress process, boundaries and limits of the GRM in handling grievances and roles of different agencies, such as the Project implementer and funding agency; • Procedures for appeals against the decisions of the first and second levels of the GRCs. A variety of methods will be adopted for communicating information to the relevant stakeholders. These methods would include the display of posters in public places, such as in government offices, Project offices, community centers, hospitals, and health clinics of the area. Further, information about the GRM would also be presented in a simple brochure, which will constitute the basic reference document for the GRM, and disseminated in Sinhala, Tamil, and English. The brochure will focus on clarifying the aims and procedures of the GRM, with a view to preventing misunderstandings or ambiguities. However, the document will have to be backed up with a series of other interventions, including explanation of the process in public meetings, easily accessible on-line information, and the use of social media. The GRM will be included as part of the Project’s monitoring system. All complaints will be registered and tracked through the MIS system. The system will provide quarterly and annual summaries of the GRM covering the following issues: 83 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • How many complaints have been raised? • What types of complaints have been raised? • What is the status of the complaints (rejected or not eligible, under assessment, action agreed upon, and action being implemented or resolved)? • How long did it take to resolve the problems? • How many people have used the grievance redress procedure? • What were the outcomes? The monitoring system will also assess the overall effectiveness and the impact of the GRM. Such evaluations will be carried out annually, and the results will be used to improve the performance of the GRM and provide valuable feedback to Project management. The following questions can be addressed in such evaluations: • Is the GRM effective in realizing the stated goals, objectives, and principles? • Is the GRM capable of responding to the range of grievances specified in their scope? • Is the GRM equipped with an adequate and diverse set of resolution approaches? • Has the GRM adopted measures to improve the resolution approaches, e.g., capacity building, consultation, with technical experts. • Was the GRM effectively integrated into overall Project management? 84 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 9 Institutional Arrangements, Monitoring, Budget 9.1 Institutional Arrangement 9.1.1 Organizational Structure The PMU, established under the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, will includes a Social and Resettlement Unit (SRU) responsible for social safeguards management under the MPA, including land acquisition and resettlement activities. The SRU will be adequately staffed with experienced, as well as new staff, who will be responsible for co-ordination with the relevant ministries and affected parties, and who will manage the day-to-day activities related to land acquisition and resettlement. The land acquisition and resettlement activities will be supported by a MIS, which will require a large database on the affected lands, houses, households, and businesses, starting from the information generated by the socio-economic census and surveys carried out at the start of each phase of the Project. This information will be securely stored and managed in a systematic manner, allowing lists and consolidated reports on the progress of land acquisition and resettlement to be generated as and when required. The MIS will also be used to manage information on the GRM. Specifically, to accomplish the task of co-ordinating, facilitating, and monitoring the implementation of the land acquisition, resettlement activities, and other social impact mitigations strategies, the SRU will be headed by one or more Deputy Director (DD) for Social Safeguards and Resettlement. A senior Land Acquisition Officer will be appointed under the DD who will be assisted by Land Officers. A set of Resettlement and Social Safeguards Officers, a Livelihood Development Officer, and Community Mobilization Officers will also be appointed who will directly report to the DD. A Database Officer will be appointed to manage the MIS and will also report to the DD. The proposed organizational structure within the PMU is presented in Figure 16.

The Social Safeguards and Community Mobilization Officers will co-ordinate with the APs to assist them in recovering and improving their livelihoods after the losses caused by the Project interventions. The SRU will also have to attend to the initial grievances raised by APs and others, and the MIS unit will have to maintain a database on these grievances. The implementation arrangements for each stage of the Project will be designed with two main objectives in mind with respect to social safeguards: (i) to ensure the accountability of the Project implementation authorities and service providers, as well as any civil society and private organizations partnering in Project implementation, in regard to the delivery of social safeguards and resettlement entitlements; and (ii) to ensure the required capacity in terms of organizational arrangements, systems, and procedures, as well as knowledge, skills, and attitudes for efficient and effective Project delivery. 9.1.2 National Project Steering Committee A National Project Steering Committee (NPSC) will also be established. It is recommended that the NPSC include the following officers/agencies or their authorized representatives: • The Secretary of Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development; • The Chief Secretaries – from the relevant Provincial Councils; • The Additional Secretary (Urban Development), Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development; • The Additional Secretary (Local Government and Provincial Council), Ministry of Local Government & Provincial Council; • The Director General, Department of External Resources; 86 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • The Director General of the Roads Development Authority; • The Director General of the Urban Development Authority; • The Director General (DG), Coast Conservation and Coastal Resource Management Department; • The General Manager, National Water Supply & Drainage Board; • The Director General, Central Environment Authority; • The Municipal Commissioners of relevant Municipal Councils; • The Project Director of PMU. The NPSC will be convened bi-annually to (i) monitor the overall implementation of ongoing sub- projects, based on progress reports; (ii) resolve problems of implementation; and (iii) to co-ordinate with other national government agencies connected to Project implementation. 9.1.3 Implementation schedule for resettlement The PMU set up for the MPA will be responsible for social safeguards management under the Project, including land acquisition, resettlement activities, and other social impact mitigation strategies at each stage of the Project. The timeline for land acquisition and resettlement activities will largely be determined by the availability of funds (land acquisition is envisaged as one component of the loan from the World Bank) and by the availability of resources and resource persons in the various line agencies that have to be involved in land acquisition and resettlement. As described in the accompanying RPF, the key activities related to the land acquisition, resettlement, and compensation must be scheduled in the correct sequence to ensure that the resettlement and payment of compensation can be completed before any of the civil works for the Project are initiated. Table 18 presents a schedule for the key activities relating to land acquisition, resettlement, payment of compensation, other social impact mitigation strategies, and monitoring.

The field offices will be staffed by land acquisition assistants, resettlement assistants, and community development assistants from the social/resettlement unit of the PMU, and may be supported by consultants. The field offices will be open on specific days of the week and will be equipped with adequate facilities including transportation, communication, and IT. The staff of the field offices will also hold “office days” at other sites in the sub-project areas. Given the scale of land acquisition and resettlement for the Phase 1 and 2 projects, there will be two field offices established for Phase 1, and four for Phase 2. 9.1.5 Capacity enhancement mechanisms The social safeguards staff of the PMU will require some additional training and capacity enhancement. The Project will incorporate a series of awareness and training workshops and programmes, as well as visits to and workshops with resettlement and social safeguards specialists working in other projects that require land acquisition and resettlement. The following themes will be considered for training and capacity enhancement activities: • Focus workshops to gain experience from other projects; • Attending to workshops and awareness training programmes organized by international funding agencies; 88 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 • Training on social safeguards including post resettlement programmes and income restoration. 9.2 Monitoring System 9.2.1 Monitoring System A monitoring system will be established to track the progress on social management, including land acquisition and resettlement programmes. The system will have information, including on every piece of land affected by the Project, households to be or already resettled, and businesses that will be or have been affected. The system will be designed such that it would be capable of generating real-time consolidated reports on the land acquisition, resettlement programmes, and other type of social impact mitigation activities. The system will be housed in the offices of the PMU but would be accessible from the Project’s site offices. The information on the individuals, households, and plots that are affected will be accessible to Project staff and relevant government agencies, but will be confidential and will NOT be accessible to the public. However, the consolidated reports on the progress of the land acquisition and resettlement programmes could be made available of the Project website. 9.2.2 Internal Monitoring Internal monitoring will be a responsibility of the PMU. A MIS will be established within the PMU to facilitate record keeping, analyzing, and generating required information. It will include specific systems to track the execution of the land acquisition and resettlement activities in accordance with the priorities set out in the RPF and the relevant RAPs. It will track the progress of preparation and implementation of the RAPs, especially land acquisition and payment of compensation, and the resettlement programmes, including self-relocation and relocation in resettlement sites and housing units. It will cover all the steps in the process of land acquisition, in accordance with the relevant sections of the LAA. In regard to the resettlement programme, it will follow the status of the individuals and households due to be resettled, starting from the determination of eligibility for benefits, through to disbursement of entitlements, and day-to-day relocation support. The internal monitoring will be used to generate reports on the following: • Maintenance of files of each landowner, AP, or business file; • Consolidated progress reports on the efficiency and effectiveness of the day-to-day planning and implementation of the land acquisition and resettlement programmes; • Efficient and transparency in disbursement of compensation and resettlement benefits; • Identification of bottlenecks and troubleshooting; • Registration and resolution of the grievances presented to the GRM. In addition, a more detailed stratified sample survey will be carried out to determine whether their socio-economic conditions, income, and living standards have been restored or improved. 89 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 9.2.3 External monitoring and evaluation The PMU will engage an external monitoring and review and hire an agency/consultant to prepare an independent evaluation of the safeguard implementation programme. The objective of the external monitoring and evaluation would be to determine whether the broader goals are being achieved in each sub-project, and if not, what corrective actions are needed. The objectives of the external evaluation will include the following to: • Verify that the safeguard programme is being implemented in accordance with the plans and procedures set out in the RPF and RAPs; • Verify that the affected households and communities are able to manage the negative impacts of the Project and have either improved or at least restored their livelihoods and living standards, including the re-establishment of incomes; • Ensure that the most vulnerable households, groups, and persons have been included in the benefits of the Project; • Obtain the views of the affected households on their compensation, relocation, and entitlements; • Review the performance of the implementing agencies, including the PMU, registered civil societies, CBOs, and other government agencies involved in the implementation of the Project; • Review the performance of the GRM. The external evaluation agency/consultant will carry out a baseline survey prior to implementation and carry out periodic updates as agreed. The findings of external monitoring will be submitted to the PMU and relevant funding agencies. Given the timing of the Project, it is envisaged that a separate evaluation will be carried out for each of the resettlement action plans. Annex IV includes a sample ToR for external monitoring. 9.2.4 Monitoring and reporting formats The reports on the progress of the land acquisition and resettlement programmes will be presented in a standardized format to be developed by the PMU to facilitate tracking of progress overtime. The format for the reports will be precise (applying clear definitions) and timely, and should allow management to quickly recognize and highlight any exceptions or departures from the Project’s plans and schedules. The key outputs of the monitoring programme will comprise: • Updated information on the individuals and households affected by the Project, and on the land and other properties subject to land acquisition; • Periodic reports (monthly and quarterly internal reports for the PMU, annual and perhaps six- monthly progress reports for the National Steering Committee and the World Bank); • Ad hoc reports on particular issues, generated at the request of management; • Internal summaries for formal and informal management review; 90 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 9.2.5 Monitoring indicators The key activities that will be monitored include a: • Programme to determine entitlements, valuations, and payment of compensation; • Programme for involuntary resettlement; • Programme for the re-establishment of incomes; • Programme for the restoration of cultural and community property resources; • Programme for vulnerable households, groups, and persons; • Programme for the management of grievances; • Programme for partnership engagement; • Programme for capacity building and training; • Programme for participation and consultations; • Programme for disclosure and reporting. These monitoring indicators will form the context for the periodic monitoring reports. It will follow a framework of process, output, and outcome indicators as described in Table 19 below. The progress of the Project may be tracked through monthly and quarterly summary reviews, as well as bi-annual or annual progress reports.

A budget for land acquisition and resettlement will have to be developed as part of the RAP for each phase of the Project. This budget will be updated with information from valuation reports for each asset affected by a given Project intervention. Phase I of the MPA will be presented to the World Bank for financing. It is expected that the World Bank-financed Project will include a component to cover the costs of the land acquisition and resettlement programmes. The loan would also cover the preparation of the projects to be included in Phase II. As mentioned above, the SRU will have one or more Deputy Director responsible for land acquisition and resettlement (including payment of compensation). The Deputy Director will be assisted by Land Officers and Resettlement Officers who will have a subordinate staff of land assistants, resettlement assistants, and community development assistants. The officers and assistants will mainly work in the field to facilitate the payment of compensation. Payment of compensation will be made through the Divisional Secretary of the area, who is the 92 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Acquiring Officer.

There were 13 participants at the meeting. The CRIP explained the objectives of the project. Mr Wijerathne explained the land acquisition and resettlement procedures. The meeting was then opened up for participants to raise issues they had about the project. Possible solutions to the issues raised were also discussed. The main issues raised in the meeting are set out below. A lawyer living in the area raised the following queries: • The time period for the project; • How information for the surveys would be obtained if there were no inhabitants on the land; • Whether a separate boundary will be marked as a reservation zone other than the boundary which is already marked; • Whether compensation will be paid for the whole plot if the remaining area of land is not functional. The officers explained that the law requires compensation to be paid if the land acquired is more than 75 percent. If there are no inhabitants on the land, notification will be given to the Grama Niladhari of the area. Some of the participants resided outside the Hanwella-Kaduwela area. One such participant raised the following queries: • Whether the 50 feet demarcation for land acquisition varied from Kaduwela to Colombo; • Whether there was a plan to construct a road in addition to the embankment; • The width of the embankment; • Whether the materials used for the construction of the embankment were only soil and concrete, or whether other materials would be used; • Whether portfolios were required to certify land ownership. The officers provided details about the existing plan of the embankment. They advised that both soil and concrete would be used as construction materials. They further advised that a road is planned to run over the embankment at certain locations. Participants were asked to send all necessary documents relating to compensation and others matters via letter through the Divisional Secretariat once the gazette notification is published. Participants were advised that the documents should be sent within 21 days of receiving the land acquisition letter. Two individuals were selected as representatives to distribute project notices to the community. Participants emphasized the importance of the project and appreciated the awareness program. 118 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Disaster Risk Management Investment Planning in Kelani River Basin Project – Stakeholders Meeting – Malwana (413) On 12 October 2018, a meeting of affected persons and other stakeholders was held in Malwana GND (413), part of the of the Dompe Divisional Secretariat.

Further, if such a demarcation is planned, how it would affect the accessibility of the areas. The officers advised that the demarcation of another reserved zone was not planned. Compensation – Participants asked whether compensation would be given for the areas affected by the current reserved zone. Officers advised that the certification of land ownership with relevant documents would be necessary for compensation claims. Land acquisition beyond 50 feet – A participant asked about the survey marking done relating to an area of land around 3.5 acres. The officers advised that there was a meander, which could lead to flooding in the area. To reduce that risk, much of the area has been marked. Further, they expect to control potential illegal settlements in the area. Road along the embankment – Participants asked whether a road would be constructed along the embankment. The officers advised that people will be allowed to walk along the dam, but vehicles would not be permitted. When the road is closed due to the construction of the embankment, both lanes of the road will be integrated. This will be done in collaboration with the Road Development Authority and the Urban Development Authority. Land acquisition timeframe and documents required – A participant asked how long the land acquisition process would take and the documents that would be necessary. Mr Wijerathne advised that it would take approximately 71 weeks for the land acquisition process. However, he also advised that there were instances where the process took nearly five years. He advised that land acquisition would begin in 2019, and clear deeds, folios, ownership reports, and value assessment reports would be required to back claims for compensation. Constructing building close to the embankment – Participants asked whether permission would be granted to allow construction of buildings close to the embankment after construction has been completed. If so, participants wanted to know what would be the minimum distance. The officers advised that the distance would be determined based on the height of the embankment. Managing rainwater – Participants asked how rainwater inside the land would be managed after construction of the bunds. The officers advised that pumping stations would be constructed. Two representatives were appointed to carry out awareness raising about the project in the community. Other than a handful of participants, the majority mentioned their support for the project and were appreciative of the work carried out. 121 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Disaster Risk Management Investment Planning in Kelani River Basin Project – Stakeholder Meeting – Pahala Hanwella GND (445) On 20 September 2018, a meeting of affected persons and other stakeholders was held in Pahala Hanwella GND (445), part of the of the Hanwella Divisional Secretariat.

The meeting was then opened up for participants to raise issues they had about the project. Possible solutions to the issues raised were also discussed. The main issues raised in the meeting are set out below. The key issue raised related to the impact on the Catholic cemetery in Pahala Hanwella. The cemetery is located between the river and the road in a very narrow strip. Additional issues raised included: • Whether the degraded land areas would be re-fill before constructing the embankment; • Whether the technology required to construct the embankment would be in the institution or the area; • Whether the river will look smaller after the embankment has been constructed; • Whether recruitment of labor services would be required for pumping stations during the construction; • Whether the waterways will be affected when constructing the road. The discussion also covered the pros and cons of the project. One concern related to sand mining – if the authorities gave permission for sand mining, the river will become deeper and, consequently, flooding will be reduced. However, strengthening of the river banks was also emphasized. This meeting demonstrated the importance of the community’s perception about the project. The issues raised are necessary to address in order to make the project successful. Two representatives were selected to convey messages to the community about the project. The participants conveyed interest in the project and an appreciation of the work being undertaken. 122 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Disaster Risk Management Investment Planning in Kelani River Basin Project – Stakeholders Meeting – Samanabedda (416) On 11 September 2018, a meeting of affected persons and other stakeholders was held in Samanabedda GND (416), part of the of the Dompe Divisional Secretariat.

Further, the building which he currently uses is a recently established one, and he had expectations that a new three-storied building would be constructed. As part of the building is within the 50-foot boundary, the participant wanted to know if the boundary line could be changed. Mr Wijerathne advised that this would have to be discussed further, in order to prevent harm to the building while the construction is under way. A common issue raised was about how the value of the land would be assessed. Mr Wijerathne explained the process of land value assessment. Participants also asked details about the construction of the embankment and the proximity of the embankment to the road. The officers explained the process.

There were around 32 participants at the meeting. Mr Gunathilaka, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Geography, University of Colombo, explained the objectives of the project. Mr Wijerathne explained the land acquisition and resettlement procedures. The meeting was then opened up for participants to raise issues they had about the project. Possible solutions to the issues raised were also discussed. The main issues raised in the meeting are set out below. A significant issue raised related to the reason for acquiring land which is beyond the 50 feet boundary line. Several participants directly opposed this move and requested that no additional land acquisition beyond 50 feet take place. Another participant said that a 200 feet boundary was marked on his land. He asked whether all the plants and trees within the 200 feet boundary would also be acquired. Other issues raised included: • Whether the embankment is only for the main river or also for all small streams (such as the Mora Ela river). • In situations where, for example the kitchen and a bedroom of a house are within the 50 feet boundary, and the living room belongs to the 90 feet boundary, can compensation be obtained for the whole house? • Where land is inhabited without a legal deed, but the land ownership is hereditary, how would compensation be addressed? • Part of a house under construction falls within the 50-foot boundary line. Construction within the boundary line has been stopped, but construction of the other parts of the house continue. How would compensation be assessed in this situation? • Given the poor accessibility to the area via transport facilities, the river is currently being used as a mode of transport. Once the embankment is constructed, would the roads be removed and additional roads created? • Does the land value assessment take into account the future value increase? • How are the land and compensation assessments made? • How is compensation determined for rambutan and other plantations? • Will road access be given through the land for soil transportation during the construction of the embankment? One participant stated that there are 10 jack trees and five nadun trees on his land, and the value of the trees will increase in the future. His view was that the future value of the trees should be included in assessment for compensation. 125 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Another participant said that he has given part of his land to a community organization. He wanted to know how compensation would be addressed. His view was that, if the organization was inactive, the compensation should go to the owner of the land. Two representatives were appointed to provide information about the project to the community. Participants emphasized the importance of the project and appreciated the awareness program. Disaster Risk Management Investment Planning in Kelani River Basin Project – Stakeholder Meeting – Welgama GND (415) and Lansiahena (415A) On 12 October 2018, a meeting of affected persons and other stakeholders was held in Welgama Rajamaha Viharaya with the collaboration of both Welgama GND (415) and Lansiahena (415A) GND, part of the of the Dompe Divisional Secretariat. The meeting was organized by the Welgama and Lansiahena Grama Niladhari Divisions. The purpose of the meeting was to identify and discuss issues that affected persons and other stakeholders raised as concerns about the Disaster Risk Management Investment Planning in Kelani River Basin Project. There were around 22 participants at the meeting. The officers of the PMU CRIP explained the objectives of the project. Mr Wijerathne explained the land acquisition and resettlement procedures. 126 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 The meeting was then opened up for participants to raise issues about the project. Possible solutions to the issues raised were also discussed. The main issues raised in the meeting are set out below. Issues raised included: • Why was land beyond the 50 feet boundary being acquired in some areas? • Is the boundary line the final boundary line? • Would the 50 feet boundary line change? • When the land belongs to parents is it necessary to transfer the land ownership by deed? • How does the compensation payment work for a person who resides in another land? • If people are not satisfied with the compensation decided, can it be appealed? • Will the aquarium owners receive compensation also? Two representatives were appointed to provide information about the project to the community. Most of the participants appreciated the importance of organizing such an awareness program to reduce the disaster risks. They also valued the community perception. Participants agreed to provide their support to the project. 127 Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Economic Affairs, Livestock Development, Irrigation and Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Development, Government of Sri Lanka CRes MPA, 1st Phase, Social Management Framework, January 2019 Annex VII: List of Participants at the Consultations Type of Meeting: Community Consultation, Pradeshiya Saba Workshop Venue: Grand Erina Hotel, Kaduwela Date: 2018.05.05 Name Designation 1 Mr. P.Somawathie Perera Member of Pradeshiya Sabawa, Biyagama 2 Mr. Padmini Daias Sigera Member of Pradeshiya Sabawa, Biyagama 3 Mr.I.R.H.M.A. Bandara Accountant, CRIP Mr. Priyantha Pushapa Kumara 4 Member of Municipal Council, Kaduwela Bamunuarachchi 5 Mr. R.A.D.S.Jayantha Ranawaka Opposition Leader, Municipal Council, Kaduwela 6 Mr. D.A.S.K.
