"Census" means the head count of the persons affected by land acquisition in terms of asset loss and/or displacement, together with an inventory of the assets lost by these persons. The census also includes basic socio-economic data, and is undertaken when the project concept for basic infrastructure investments under a project is agreed between the community and JSIF. The date of the census establishes the cut-off date to record the persons in a community project area, who can receive compensation for lost assets, and/or resettlement and rehabilitation assistance. 2. "Compensation" means the reparation at replacement cost in exchange for assets acquired by a community project (land, buildings, or other assets). 3. "Cut-Off Date" means the date after which no person moving into the community project area will be eligible to receive compensation related to land acquisition and resettlement. The cut- off date is the date of the census of the persons affected by land acquisition. 4. "Displaced Persons" means PAPs who are forced to relocate from their previous location because (i) all of their land or buildings are acquired for a community project, or (ii) because the amount ofland or buildings acquired renders the remaining portion economically unviable or uninhabitable. 5. "Eminent Domain" means the right of the state to acquire land for a public purpose using its sovereign power. 6. "Inventory of Assets" means a complete listing and description of all assets that will be acquired under a specific community project. 7. "Land Acquisition" means the process of acquiring land for a community project under the legally mandated procedures of eminent domain. 8. "Project Affected Person" (PAP) means the people directly affected by land acquisition for a community project through loss of part or all of their assets whether temporarily or permanently including land, houses, other structures, businesses, crops/trees, or other types of assets. 9. "Rehabilitation Assistance" means assistance comprisingjob placement,job training, or other forms of support to enable displaced persons, who have lost their source of livelihood as a result of the displacement, to improve or at least restore their income levels and standard of living to pre-project levels. 10. "Relocation Assistance" means the assistance provided to displaced persons/families to cover (i) the costs of moving from their previous to a new location, and (ii) an allowance equal to the local average costs of living for a two month transition period to resettle in a new location of residence or business. 11. "Replacement Cost" means the method of valuation of assets to determine the amounts sufficient to replace the lost assets and cover transaction costs. 3 12. "Resettlement" means the relocation of displaced persons into new residential locations. 13. "Community project" means a specific community infrastructure investment activity, which may comprise several sub-components, carried out with funding from JSIF. 4 BACKGROUND JAMAICA DISASTER VULNERABILITY REDUCTION PROJECT (JDVRP) Past disaster events have physically impacted Jamaica's national infrastructure, some of which include flooding, landslides and storm surge. Addressing the undermining of primary roads, bridges and drainage networks is key in protecting the communities located in these areas, the users of the infrastructure as well as reducing the overall economic impact on the country's economy. In response to this the, Jamaica Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project (JDVRP) was designed with the objective 'to enhance Jamaica's resilience to disaster and climate change risk.' The project is financed by a US$ 30m loan funded by the World Bank. The JDVRP is structured into four (4) components, outlined below. Component 1 - Technical Assistance for Improved Disaster and Climate Resilience (US$ 3.815M). This component will support the generation and collection of targeted hazard and risk information, its analysis and use in monitoring systems and decision making. This component will finance the following activities: (i) equipment and facilities to strengthen the seismic monitoring network; (ii) the establishment of a National Risk Information Platform and Coastal Risk Atlas; (iii) multi-hazard risk assessments for coastal areas, including ecosystems-based analyses and micro zonation studies; and (iv) a training program to support the implementation of the National Building Code. Component 2: Risk Reduction (US$23.61M). This includes the retrofitting or construction of key assets in response to the severe impacts from major disasters. This component will finance structural mitigation measures. The sub-components and activities to be financed under this component are: (i) Retrofitting, construction and/or rehabilitation of national and sub-national priority infrastructure (bridges and urban drainage); (ii) Retrofitting, construction and/or rehabilitation of critical public facilities (schools and fire stations) (iii) Establishing or improving coastal protection measures. Component 3: Contingent Emergency Response (US$0M). The proposed operation will include a contingent 'zero component', which in the event of a disaster caused by a natural hazard would enable the Government to quickly reallocate Project funds to disaster response and recovery purposes under streamlined procedures. This Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) will support Jamaica's emergency preparedness and response capacity to the impact of natural hazards, including financing of post-disaster critical emergency goods or emergency recovery and associated services, as well as targeted provision of post-disaster Social Safety Net (SSN) support to affected households and individuals. Following an adverse natural event, the Government's declaration of disaster in accordance with national law, and subject to the Bank's activation policy, the contingent component would be triggered. Component 4: Project Administration (US$2.5M). This component will finance costs associated with program management, including Project related audits, monitoring, mid-term 5 and end-of-project evaluation, equipment and training to strengthen the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), as well as individual consultants, motor vehicle and operating costs. The component will also finance the core professional and technical staff for Project management, including a Program Manager, Supervision Engineers and specialists in the areas of disaster risk management, safeguards compliance, finance, procurement and related Project management areas. Core staff will be recruited on time-bound basis. This Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan will be linked to activities under Component 2, Sub component (i) - Retrofitting, construction and/or rehabilitation of national and sub-national priority infrastructure (bridges and urban drainage. • National Bridges: The Old Harbour area is the largest fishing community in Jamaica and also one of the most rapidly growing populations outside of Kingston. The town connects Kingston and Spanish Town, the two largest cities in southern Jamaica by a four-lane highway and the Old Harbour Road. There are over 15,000 vehicles that travel the Old Harbour Road every day and some sections of the road are in poor condition; only permitting single lane traffic, no pedestrian walkways, and suffer frequent flooding. The Project will be targeting three bridges located along this road: Old Harbour/ Myton Gully Bridge, Church Pen 1 Bridge and Church Pen 2 Bridge. The proposed bridge infrastructure meets the criteria for readiness as designs have already been prepared. Equally, the criteria for selection identified by the GoJ included traffic volume, structural integrity, and socio-economic impact. • Urban Drainage: The anticipated higher frequency and intensity of rainfall events has the risk of overburdening urban drainage systems, leading to increased flooding, economic disruption and health risks to urban residents. The Comprehensive Drainage and Flood Control Report identifies historical extent, context and potential causes oflocalized flooding throughout Jamaica's drainage system. The areas the Report prioritizes include: i) number of buildings impacted by flooding; ii) number of persons indirectly impacted by flooding; and iii) severity of flooding. The Report dually conducts a rainfall analysis and the design frequency of the drainage systems, which includes the hydraulic capacity. The Big Pond/Myton Gully in Old Harbour, St. Catherine urban drainage network, assessed in the Report, will have interventions financed under the Project. The location is highly susceptible to flooding and is connected to the three bridges also targeted for civil works under this Project. 6 OVERVIEW OF THE CHURCH PEN PROJECT The district of Church Pen is located in Old Harbour, St. Catherine and has been appraised for drainage improvement works under the JDVRP project. The drainage improvement is considered based on the extent of flooding that occurs in the community. Further the Old Harbour Community is the fastest growing residential are with multiple housing developments and businesses established over the last decade. This has had implications on the drainage patters in the area and now requires an upgrade to the infrastructures. Overall, two bridges will be upgraded, Church Pen 1 and Church Pen 2, this resettlement plans speaks to the issues at Church Pen 2. ARAP Objective The objective of this ARAP is to ensure that the Church Pen Drainage improvement project is implemented with minimal displacement of project affected persons, ensuring that property and livelihoods are restored to a state equal or better than pre-project conditions. Project Description: The proposed scope of the work to be undertaken for the upgrading of the bridge is: 1. Demolish existing block wall fence to erect temporary bridge (front of property) 2. Demolish existing concrete pipes - 1Om 3. Demolish existing barbed wire fence (front of farm) - 50m 4. Demolish existing masonry walls - 1Om 5. Uproot existing fruit trees- 5 6. Construction detour road- 1200m2 7. Construction of new culvert. - 28m 8. Construction of a mass concrete wing wall. - 20m3 9. Construction of earth mount 10. Construction of Reno Mattress - 36m3 11. Re-instatement of barbed wire fence - 50m 12. Construction of gabion basket - 17m3* 13. Construction earth drain - 1645m3* 14. Construction of footbridge -1 * * *These works will take place on the property of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) towards reducing the risk for flooding downstream. 7 Potential Impact The upgrading of the bridge will result in the economic (livelihood) impacts on the adjoining property at the bridge in Church Pen 2 (close to the Mosque) Old Harbour. It is anticipated that the upgraded culverts will increase the volume of water that flows unto the adjoining farm, and there is no adequate drainage structure in place (on property) to mitigate flooding. The natural flow of the surface water is through the farm, and therefore upgrading the culvert will cause flooding of animal enclosures and other buildings on the property if risk reduction measures are not implemented. This water channel flows through the farm unto other properties that are currently not occupied and continues out to Highway 2000. Map of Church Pen Figure 1: WATER COURSE AT CHURCH PEN BRIDGES 1 (LEFT) AND 2 (RIGHT) Alternatives: Due to the natural flow of the water through the residential property of this family, there is no alternative other than aborting the project.

It is anticipated that the project will affect the existing fence at the front of the property (near the culvert) and some agricultural produce on the farm. Regarding public infrastructures, one electrical light post will be impacted as based on its current location it will in the middle of the detour road that will be constructed during works. A relocation will be required as part of the contractor's scope in collaboration with the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPSCo). The land is privately owned NAME REMOVED however NAME REMOVED maintains oversight of the property as NAME REMOVED resides overseas. The Land Owner is 60 years old and has given permission to NAME REMOVED (her son) to construct and operate a farming business on the property. The farm is managed by NAME REMOVED a registered farmer with the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA), and has been in operation since February 2000. The Farm Manager practices mixed farming producing crops (bananas), poultry, and livestock (goats and pigs). This business is the means of livelihood for the family. The residents reported that goods are sold to market vendors and large companies such as Grace Kennedy Limited. The crops and animals of the farm manager will NOT be impacted by the project as they are outside of the project area. Access to his farm will however be impacted since the drain runs through the middle of the property, and the makeshift bridge that the family built (to link the farm with the residential portion of the land) will be temporarily removed to facilitate cleaning of the drain. The agricultural produce on the property that is likely to be impacted are the ackees, lime and coconut trees for which the land owner has responsibility. These crops were planted by her and do not form apart of farm managers produce. The trees are on the banks of the drain and are likely to be removed during the clearing of the earthen channel. 9 Aside from the fruit trees that will be removed there is no other anticipated economic impact of the project to the farm Land Information: The land area in question is on a privately owned parcel (Vol:Folio 1103:31 ). The property is owned by NAME REMOVED. The only public land in close proximity to the project site is the existing narrow roadway (main road to access the main towns of Old Harbour, Spanish Town and Kingston) and sidewalks. There is no space to facilitate squatting by other residents.

See annex 3 where permission was granted to Ms. Samuels to make decisions on how payments are to be done. 10 Eligibility Displaced persons are Project Affected Persons who are impacted by land acquisition, which results in the loss of part or all of their assets temporarily or permanently to include land, housing, other structures, businesses, crops/trees or other types of assets. Eligibility for resettlement assistance under this project will be determined by the following: • The project cutoff date was November 1, 2017. • Location/ proximity to project site • Extent of impact i.e. asset lost due to land acquisition • The property was not cordoned off as there was no other land available to facilitate squatting, the only available public land is the main road which is unable to accommodate this. Additionally, based on culture, the erecting of a sign will only serve to attract other residents seeking to benefit from the project. Additionally, the Eligibility and Entitlements Matrix will also serve as a guide. Valuation and Compensation Methodology for valuation • Infrastructure: The existing structures that will be affected by the project were valued based on location, state of the structure, size, quality of material and workmanship. The JSIF maintains a Cost Database which reflects current market rates for works items. • Crops/ Trees: The agricultural assets that are lost are valued by the National Fruit Tree Crop Project at the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA)and is calculated based on the cost to replace the tree (whether young or mature) and the yield over a six (6) month period. The payment provided is to purchase new trees (replacement) at the same maturity of the existing trees. Additional funds were also allocated (for a period of 6 months) to cover any revenue lost during the period when the trees re-acclimatize to the new environment. Ideally the trees will continue to produce fruit within the normal seasons. See below how the figures were calculated:(# of trees x replacement cost)+ (6 months x yield per month) REMOVED FOR CONFIDENTIALITY PURPOSES See resettlement cost below. 11 Resettlement Costs The scope of resettlement activities and the related costs at Church Pen 2 are outlined in the table below: ACTIVITY COSTS INFRASTRUCTURE Relocation of electrical light post This is considered a works cost as it is impacted by the actual works and is on the roadway and not the farm property. Reinstallation of the gate This is considered a works cost as the gate is moved only to temporarily allow access and the same fence will be reinstalled after completion by the contractor. COMPENSATION For Fruit Trees that will be lost AMOUNT REMOVED based on drainage works: • 5 ackee trees • 4 coconut trees • 1 Lime tree TOTAL AMOUNT REMOVED CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT I CONSULTATIONS WITH DISPLACED PERSON JSIF Social Officers (SOs) have had a number of discussions with the PAPs as it relates to the nature of the interventions. These were done as part of the regular JSIF project appraisal process. Site visits were conducted, and walkthroughs done to identify and discuss risks and intentions to mitigate. Discussions were held with Land Owner and Farm Manager about the nature of the project and the likely impact it would have on their property. Since One property owner resides overseas, she was not a part of the on the ground consultation however she gave permission to the family representative to consult with JSIF on her behalf concerning the project. The family accompanied JSIF team members to different areas on the project site to discuss how works would be done to prevent any damage or loss to animal enclosures, crops and irrigation lines. The family has expressed a willingness to cooperate with the agreement that all mitigation activities will be carried out to prevent issues post project. The issues raised by the family include: 1. The likely increase in the volume of water on their property post the expansion of the culvert and what mechanisms will be put in place to prevent flooding of animal 12 enclosures. The family was advised that the existing earth drain will be widened, and additional depth added to enable it to carry the increased water. Additionally, the channel will be cleared all the way down stream to ensure water flows freely off their property. As is customary the local Parish Council will continue with the periodic cleaning of the drain. 2. What considerations will be given to ensure the irrigation line is not damaged during the cleaning of the drains? Backhoe operator will be sensitized of the location of the exiting line to avoid damaging during cleaning. Backhoe will operate from the bank of the channel and therefore once the line is marked the operator can clean around it. 3. Whether the fence will be replaced after construction? Yes, the fence will be moved only to accommodate access of equipment and for the temporary detour road. It will be replaced immediately after construction. 4. Whether the crops will be protected from theft during works given the close proximity to the road? Yes. It is only the section of the fence to the residential side of the property that will be removed. The sections around the farming sections will remain intact. 5. Whether compensation will be considered for the fruit trees that will be lost. Yes. The amount payable will be determined based on consultation with the National Fruit Tree Project at RADA. The concerns were taken into consideration and the project design and the related BQs were updated to reflect the required infrastructures that prevent flooding of their property. A line item was added to the resettlement budget for the replacement of the fence and compensation for the fruit trees that will be lost. Additionally, the technical team will have preliminary discussions with contractor/ supervisors regarding the securing of the farm and irrigation lines during works. MONITORING ARRANGEMENTS For each community project, information on land requirements and the means of obtaining any land required by a particular project component will be recorded in the MIS for different stages of the project cycle: Proiect Cycle Data for MIS • Estimated need for land for specific investment Project Selection components, • means of obtaining such land (donation, govt. land, purchase, land acquisition), • scale ofresettlement, if any. • Amount and description of land donated • Approval, • Rejection (> 10 families to be resettled) Project Concept • Community consultations (date, # of participants including Development and potential P APs, issues), 13 JSIF Technical & Social • Documentation provided on voluntary land donations and Review transfer of unused government land. Abbreviated Data from census with inventory of assets lost by PAPs, Resettlement Action Plan entitlements, and socio-economic data, • Dates of receipt, review, and approval by JSIF of ARAP • Dates of submission and approval by Bank of ARAP • Date of disclosure of ARAP Implementation • Delivery of compensation and rehabilitation entitlements as per ARAP • Data on grievance redress Post Implementation • Evaluation including assessment of economic rehabilitation/ income restoration • Record results of resettlement in MIS GRIEVANCES REDRESS MECHANISM Resolution of different types of grievances regarding resettlement will be attempted at different levels: Solutions to grievances related to land acquisition impacts will be pursued at the community level with PAPs with facilitation by JSIF and together with design consultants in order to find technical solutions that avoid or further minimize the need for further and acquisition. Solutions to grievances related to compensation amounts, delays in compensation payments or provision of different types of resettlement assistance will be pursued directly by the designated land acquisition and resettlement staff in JSIF through liaison with the relevant actors. Where satisfactory solutions to grievances cannot be achieved, the aggrieved party may take the matter before the courts. Arbitration will be done by appropriate local institutions such as the Justice of the Peace, Community Works Coordinator, and the Dispute Resolution Foundation (which is a Government supported NGO with links to the courts. The courts do refer cases to the Foundation for arbitration as a measure to seek a faster resolution to disputes. This would not prevent the parties to the dispute from taking the matter to the court if a compromise cannot be reached). Any grievances arising should be recorded and reported on in the JSIF MIS. This should include details on the date of the dispute, the nature of the dispute and how it was resolved. Complaints can be communicated by calling the office and reporting to the assigned project officer or project manager. Additionally, the representatives of line ministries of other partnering government agencies can communicate grievances on behalf of PAPs to JSIF. Additionally, PAPs have the option to email or write grievances. Complaints will be noted in a grievance log with a response time between 1 and 2 weeks depending on the complexity of the issue. 14 JSIF's land acquisition and resettlement staff will ensure that community members and in particular PAPs are informed about the avenues for grievance redress, and will maintain a record of grievances received, and the result of attempts to resolve these. This information will be entered into the JSIF Management Information System (MIS) and be included in the regular progress reporting.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK This resettlement mechanism is guided by two pieces of legislations: 1. 1962 Constitution of Jamaica contains a chapter which addresses Protection of the Fundamental Rights and Freedoms of an individual. Section 18 Chapter III determines that no property shall be compulsorily taken into possession and no interest in or right over property shall be compulsorily acquired except under a law that: i) prescribes principles and manner in which compensation is determined and given ii) provides right of access to a court to determine questions of rights, entitlements and compensation. 1 1 JSIF Resettlement Policy Framework 15 2. Land Acquisition Act of 1974. The JSIF RPF outlines a summary of Land Acquisition procedures and principles allowed under this legislation as well as the Gap filling measures through the RPF. INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK The institutional framework to be used to support the resettlement activities includes agencies and policies in government as well as the donors. The agencies that will be involved are the World Bank, National Works Agency, Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) and Jamaica Social Investment Fund. AGENCY ROLE IN RESETTLEMENT POLICIES National Works Provision of designs which include risk Agency reduction activities for project affected person and the supervision of works. Rural Agricultural The provision of farm gate prices for Development crops likely to be lost due to project Authority activities to guide compensation payments. Manage the resettlement issues on the Land Acquisition and project and ensure all guidelines Resettlement Policy outlined in the Safeguard Policies / Framework Jamaica Social Environment and Social Standards are Investment Fund adhered to.

The Social Officer will ensure that any issues 16 that arise or are presented to them by the owners of the property is recorded and settled in accordance with JSIF's grievance guidelines and the LARPF. They will also ensure that the EO is kept informed and written reports sent for placement on the LARPF files (Fund Manager). Removal and subsequent compensation will be made in a timely manner to facilitate the physical start time of the infrastructure works, as well as minimizing the level of discomfort that the affected person will encounter.
