The community seeks the assistance of CSDP to fund the project. Based on the environmental and social checklist screening carried out in the area, this micro project is classified as a category B project. The screening result shows that this micro project is envisaged to have minimal environmental and social impacts resulting from the construction activities and wastes. But these are site specific and limited in scope, and can be readily addressed through mitigation measures contained in this ESMP. Beneficial Impacts The beneficial impacts of this micro project are as follow:  Increase in enrolment of pupils will result from the improved environment which the new school block construction will provide;  The block of class room will reduce the teacher-pupil ratio and result to improved learning  Creation of job opportunities for the locals such as teachers and artisans 2.3 Negative Impacts The negative or adverse impacts of this micro project at the implementation stage are as follow:  Waste generation and poor disposal including human faeces and urine  Outbreak of diseases due to congestion and poor hygiene  Traffic flow obstruction and risk of accident  Escalation of threat to insecurity due to exposure of the school premises to trespassers To mitigate the minimal adverse potential impacts, an ESMP is prepared which include impact, mitigations and monitoring measures, cost implications which are all in this document. Also, capacity need and training requirements and cost implications were prepared. The overall cost of implementing the ESMP is as follows: Cost Item Responsibility Cost Estimate in (USD) Estimate(N) Mitigation & CDA, CPMC, SA 940,000 4700 Monitoring Training & Capacity Consultant 450,000 2250 Building Sub-Total 1,390,000 6950 Management (20%) SA 139,000 695 Contingency (10%) 139,000 695 Total 1,668,000 8,340 Page 4 CSDP-ESMP 2016 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Federal Government of Nigeria has received financing from the World Bank (WB) for implementing a 2-year World Bank Assisted Additional Financing (AF) of Community and Social Development Project (CSDP). The thrust of the Community and Social Development Project (CSDP) is to contribute to the realization of the Nigerian government’s strategy for poverty reduction by improving the welfare and living conditions of many poor and vulnerable communities in most states of Nigeria. The project has the objective to increase access by the poor to improved social and natural resources infrastructure services in a sustainable manner throughout Nigeria. This will be achieved through the provision of grant support to benefiting Communities for the implementation of community-driven micro projects under approved Community Development Plan (CDP). To commence State-level implementation of the additional financing, the Project intends to use part of the proceeds for consultancy services for the review/upgrade of Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and prepare Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) for the participating States in the North East Geopolitical Zone. 1.2 CSDP Project Development Objectives and Components The initial consultation suggest that the Project Development Objective (PDO) for the CSDP AF will remain unchanged as the original PDO- “to sustainably increase access of poor people to social and natural resource infrastructure services�, but the key performance indicators (KPIs) will be revised. The CSDP AF KPIs will put some emphasis on support to vulnerable and disenfranchised household and individuals expand scope of assistance to such households beyond public goods (schools, health center, water etc.). It will also include demand side support i.e. a safety net. The use of a community managed approach and emphasis on local government active partnership with community groups will be retained and strengthened during CSDP AF period. The new emphasis on safety net will result in an additional component, for ‘vulnerable groups’ transfers, to the original design. In essence, the additional financing will now have 4 components:  Component 1: Coordination and Program Support Component (Federal and State Level)  Component 2: LGA/Sectoral Ministries Capacity and Partnership building Component  Component 3: Community-Driven Investment Component  Component 4: Vulnerable Groups livelihood investment grants/transfers component. Page 5 CSDP-ESMP 2016 1.3 Environmental Classification and Rationale for Preparing an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) As part of the credit agreement with the World Bank, projects supported by Bank’s funding are usually subjected to safeguard screening to determine the environmental and social risk before approval. The environmental and social checklist screening carried out in the field is consistent with the ESMF classification of the CSDP micro-projects as a category B project. The screening result shows that this micro project is envisaged to have minimal environmental and social impacts resulting from the construction activities and wastes. But these are site specific and limited in scope, and can be readily addressed through mitigation measures This ESMP is therefore prepared to set out site specific mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during implementation to eliminate adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them or reduce them to acceptable levels. 1.4 Objectives of the ESMP The main objective of this ESMP is to review and update the environmental and social checklist prepared for the micro-project and document the actions necessary to prevent or minimize predicted negative impacts of the sub-project during project implementation. Specifically, this ESMP is designed to ensure the following:  Identify potential impacts that may occur during implementation stage of the various project activities;  Develop detailed specific mitigation measures with relevant costs implication that will need to be achieved during and after sub-project implementation;  Specify responsibilities and institutional arrangement that will be put in place to ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented  Integrating environment fully into the various activities of the proposed project and ensuring inclusion of environmental requirements into tender documents, continuing management and evaluation of the environmental performance of the project.  Providing detailed design criteria for specific mitigation measures to be implemented.  Tracking to ensure the effectiveness of the mitigation measures at meeting the discharge standards.  Provide implementation and monitoring schedule Page 6 CSDP-ESMP 2016 CHAPTER 2: MICRO PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS 2.1 Micro Project Description The subproject shall be the construction of corpers lodge, for Wade Community in Yamaltu Deba LGA of Gombe State. The project is expected to be completed within 6 months. The construction works of corpers lodge shall include, but are not limited to: earth works – site clearance and soil excavation for classroom foundations, concrete works for foundations and superstructures and Concrete form works/reinforcement. 2.2 Beneficial Impacts The beneficial impacts of this micro project are as follow:  Increase in enrolment of pupils will result from the improved environment which the new school block construction will provide;  The block of class room will reduce the teacher-pupil ratio and result to improved learning  Creation of job opportunities for the locals such as teachers and artisans 2.3 Negative Impacts The negative or adverse impacts of this micro project at the implementation stage are as follow:  Waste generation and poor disposal including human faeces and urine  Outbreak of diseases due to congestion and poor hygiene  Traffic flow obstruction and risk of accident  Escalation of threat to insecurity due to exposure of the school premises to trespassers 2.4 Mitigation Measures Necessary and specific mitigation measures to the identified adverse impacts are described in the ESMP matrix that follows in the next section. Page 7 CHAPTER 3: POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN In line with the TOR, this ESMP is to mitigate the adverse impacts at the implementation/operation phase since construction activities have been completed. It details the identified impacts, mitigation measures, responsibility for implementation and cost amongst others. The sub-section after the ESMP matrix is the monitoring arrangement to ensure effective implementation and delivery of project development objectives. 3.1 ESMP and Monitoring Matrix Impact Mitigation measures Method of Monitoring Responsibility Time Cost estimate identification Monitoring Measures/Indi frame (N) cators Mitigation monitoring Solid waste Adhere to good solid Site Site Inspection CDA, CPMC CPMC, SA Daily N50,000 generation waste practices ( avoid, inspection of waste reduce, reuse, recycle and management dispose) practices Disease - Construct VIP Toilet Site Site inspection CDA, CPMC CPMC, SA, Daily 550,000 outbreak may and ensure hygiene and inspection of the GO occur due to sanitation facilities. environment poor hygiene -Sensitization on hygiene and hygiene. and sanitation Uncontrolled -Provide parameter Site Evidence of CDA, CPMC, CPMC, SA After 250, 000 entry and exit fencing around the lodge inspection parameter fence constru may - Engage the services of and security ction predispose the security personnel for 24 guards pupils and hours surveillance staff to insecurity Loss of -Engage security Visit, Records from CDA, CPMC, CPMC, SA, -During 40,000 asset/income personnel inspection, the facility GO operati due to theft information on gathering CSDP-ESMP 2016 Accident/ -Provide speed breakers Visit, Records from CDA, CPMC, CPMC, SA -After 50,000 traffic and road signage inspection, the facility Head Teacher constru obstruction -Provide First Aid Kits information ction gathering - Annuall y Total 940,000 Mitigation 3.3 Capacity Building Need and Targets The ESMP would also include a detailed capacity building/training for staff of CSDP at the Federal level and for the 26 states.
