EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Andhra Pradesh Municipal Development Project (APMDP) is being

implemented by Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) with support from World Bank.
The Project is aimed at improving urban services in select ULBs mainly in water
supply and sewerage sectors. The project will also support improvements in the financial,
technical, and management capacities of all ULBs of Andhra Pradesh through
technical assistance to sustain the infrastructures being created.
Sub-projects undertaken for development purposes may sometimes have

negative social impacts on some families and individuals in the form of loss of
land, loss of structures, loss of livelihood/income, loss of crops/trees and loss of
community infrastructure. Similarly, proposed components in the sub-projects may
adversely impact various environmental components such as air, water and land and
surrounding eco-system (flora and fauna). While planning and designing sub-projects
to create sustainable urban infrastructure, it is essential to make an assessment
of possible adverse social and environmental impacts due to the proposed sub-project
and to take mitigation measures to ensure that these sub-projects are socially
and environmentally sound. These mitigation measures need to be taken up
within the context of applicable policies, legal provisions and the administrative
frameworks.
In addition to mitigation measures for negative impacts, measures shall
also be taken to enhance positive impacts due to the developmental works taken up
under various sub-projects.
Social and Environmental Assessment & Management Framework (SEAMF) is
intended to be used during the project to ensure compliance with national and state
regulatory policies and laws, and also with World Bank safeguard policies throughout the
sub-project cycle to make the urban investment sub-projects are socially and
environmentally sound and sustainable.
4
Social and Environmental Assessment & Management Framework (SEAMF)

essentially provides
 Information on Policy, Legal and Administrative requirements

 Institutional arrangements, capacity building plan and information &
consultation strategy
 social and environmental screening and categorization framework
 Guidance for the social and environmental assessment of sub-projects
 Guidance for formulation of social and environment management and
monitoring plans.
This is revised version of original Social and Environmental Assessment &

Management Framework (SEAMF) in the context of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and
the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation &
Resettlement Act, 2013 replacing previous land acquisition Act and Andhra Pradesh
Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and
Resettlement Rules, 2014. Relevant Environmental Acts and Notifications mentioned in
original SEAMF have also been updated a per MoEF notifications. Typical EMP
template for sub-projects based on EMPs being implemented in APMDP so far has also
been annexed.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This document provides the Social and Environmental Assessment and
Management Framework for Andhra Pradesh Municipal Development Project
(APMDP). APMD Project has two main components:
 State Level and Local Level Reform

 Urban Infrastructure Investments
1.2 The Social and Environmental Assessment &Management Framework (SEAMF)

is intended to be used during the project to ensure that the urban investment sub-projects
being considered for financing are socially and environmentally sound and sustainable.
The SEAMF tries to ensure that there is sub-project compliance with national and state
regulatory policies and laws, and also with World Bank safeguard policies throughout the
sub-project cycle. The framework and plans have been prepared in such a way that they
are applicable to all municipal sub-projects as a whole and to the sectoral or sub-sectoral
parts. SEAMF has been updated in the backdrop of A.P. State bifurcation, experience to
date on the implementation of this framework and also incorporating the provisions of
India‟s new act on land acquisition and resettlement- Right to Fair Compensation and
Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation & Resettlement Act, 2013.
1.3 The SEAMF includes:
 Information on Policy, Legal and Administrative requirements, and their

implications for sub-projects;
 Institutional arrangements, capacity building plan and information & consultation
strategy for effective planning, implementation and monitoring of sub-projects
 A social and environmental screening and categorization framework for sub-
projects to identify the nature of social and environmental analysis and planning
required for each sub-project
 Guidance for the social and environmental assessments of sub-projects, and for
the formulation of social and environment management and monitoring plans
(that include mitigation measures for possible negative impacts as well as
enhancement measures for positive impacts)
 Social and environmental safeguard frameworks that need to be considered in the
sub-project preparation and implementation
6
1.4 The SEAMF has been developed through close interactions with municipal staff
and state officials at various levels, and inputs have been added from the public
consultations conducted for this purpose.
1.2 POLICIES AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

1.5 The policies, legal provisions and the administrative frameworks provide the
context within which the urban development projects need to be implemented. Table A
gives the policies, legal acts and programmes that form the framework within which both
social and environmental components of the proposed project APMDP would be
implemented. Detailed analysis of these Acts, Policies and Programmes are given as

1.3 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

1.6 In a sub-project cycle, based on the involvement of the institutions, the
institutions can be divided into „Primary Institutions‟ that are involved in direct
implementation of sub-projects, „Support Institutions‟ whose technical support and
manpower is necessary for the implementation of sub-projects and „Project Specific
Institutions‟ whose technical knowledge and manpower is necessary in planning and
implementing certain specific projects. The primary institutions in a typical project cycle
identified are Municipal Council (MC), Urban Local Bodies (ULB), Commissionerate &
Directorate of Municipal Administration (CDMA), Andhra Pradesh Urban Infrastructure
Fund (APUIF), Public Health & Engineering Department (PHED), Directorate of Town
& Country Planning (DTCP) and the Urban Development Authorities (UDA). The
support institutions are Revenue Department (RD), District Collector (DC), Community
Based Organizations (CBO), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) etc., and the
project specific institutions can be the Roads and Buildings Department (R&B) in case of
roads sub-projects, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board
(HMWSSB) in case of water supply sub-projects, Electricity Distribution Companies
(DISCOMS) and Andhra Pradesh Transmission Corporation Limited (Andhra Pradesh
TRANSCO) for electricity sub-projects, Medical and Health Department (MHD) for
health related sub-projects etc. Institutions like the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control
Board (APPCB) may involve in the planning and execution of the projects on the request
of the municipality. Depending upon the type of project, the ULBs will seek specialist
and technical support from these departments and elsewhere for planning and
implementing sub-projects.
1.7 The APMD Project would be implemented in the State by the Department of
Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) through the CDMA and
APUIF.
1.8 The CDMA, in its capacity as the authority in charge of ULBs, would provide
general institutional and administrative support to all ULBs. A Municipal Strengthening
Unit (MSU) is set up at CDMA to assist ULBs to undertake infrastructure sub-projects
under APMD Project, monitor their implementation and provide institutional support, in
the form of capacity building and reforms, to ULBs and also assist them. The
8
CDMA/MSU would take the responsibility for engaging consultants to undertake the
social & environmental assessment of sub-projects. Two specialists – Social Scientist &
Urban Environmental Specialist – are placed in MSU to appraise the sub-projects for
compliance with respect to social and environmental safeguards.
1.9 The APUIF would be the nodal agency responsible for financing the sub-projects
under APMDP, after they have been appraised by the MSU. It will have three project
windows – the project development division for appraisal of sub-projects, the investment
division for financing the sub-projects and the institutional development division for sub-
project specific institutional development.
1.10 At the field level the concerned ULBs would play an important role in
implementation of the project. The ULBs would be responsible for designing,
implementing and managing the sub-projects. They will form an Environment and Social
Management Committee (ESMC) to carry out the necessary social and environmental
functions in the sub-project areas.
1.11 The Social and Environmental needs of the APMD Project would be managed at
different levels. At the state level, the MSU of CDMA would enable ULBs to prepare
socially and environmentally sound project proposals and help build required skills
through a concerted capacity building programme. The social and environmental
specialists located with the MSU would ensure that appraised sub-projects are socially
and environmentally sound, apart from providing advisory services to ULBs. At the local
level, the ESMCs would be vested with powers to monitor and manage S&E issues
during sub-project implementation.

arrangements at the ULB and the ESMC will be responsible for overlooking social and
environmental activities implemented under each sub-project in the ULB. For specific
environmental issues, the Regional Officer of APPCB may be consulted.
1.13 The S&E officer, working under the Municipal Engineer, would ensure the
implementation of SMP/TDP/EMP at sub-project level through the existing machinery by
entrusting the execution of separate sectoral components to the concerned line
departments. The responsibilities for handling social issues would be coordinated with
the Town Planning and the Revenue Wings as they are more acquainted with issues such
as land acquisition, measurements, structural assessments etc. Similarly the S&E Officer
will coordinate with the other Engineering department officials, the Medical and Health
Officials and environmental consultants on environmental issues such as solid waste
management, sanitation etc. The role and the functions of the ESMC would include, but
not be limited to, the following:
 Ensuring social and environmental compliance in sub-project preparation

 Coordinating acquisition of land and undertaking surveys
 Overseeing preparation of SMPs/EMPs through internal sources and/or external
consultants
 Implementation of SMPs/EMPs
 Undertaking/coordinating construction of resettlement colonies
 Coordinating with NGOs in SMP/EMP implementation and various agencies
involved
 Grievance redressal
 Organize training programmes for identified PAPs through the Government
agencies/ NGOs / other sources
1.14 The role and the functions of the S&E Officer would include, but not be limited
to, the following:
1. Coordinate planning and implementation of social and environmental aspects of

sub-projects in the ULB.
2. Assess the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for social and environmental
compliance with safeguard framework.
3. Monitor the sub-project interventions for social and environmental sustainability
4. Support and coordinate trainings programmes for the capacity building of the PIA
and its partners like the NGOs and CBOs as the case may be.
5. Coordinate with all the agencies for ensuring implementation of social &
environmental activities.
6. Carry out assessment of the project affected people; assess vulnerability and
entitlement issues and coordination of SMP/EMP implementation at the ULB.
7. Mobilizing the community and ensuring their participation in addressing
emerging social and R&R issues.
8. Reporting the progress, highlighting the social and environmental issues not
addressed and also provide for course correction in subsequent projects
9. Develop a system of environmental monitoring and social audit to achieve
maximum benefits from the sub-project.
10
10. Auditing the monitoring indicators collected by the implementing staff

1.4 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM
1.15 It is expected that through a participatory process, acceptance of the sub-projects

and grievances can be minimized. However, it is necessary to establish an effective
grievance redressal mechanism to address complaints/grievances related to social &
environmental issues that may arise. The figure given alongside indicates the grievance
redressal mechanism for this purpose.

Centre, where the grievances of the community will be registered and other information
with regard to the project, the sub-projects, social and environmental safeguards will be
provided. The grievances can pertain to any social and/or environmental issues triggered
by sub-projects under the APMD Project. A „District Urban Grievance Redressal Body‟
will be established for giving independent advice to the concerned Municipal
Commissioner for redressing the grievances. This body will consist of 4 to5 eminent
citizens in the District and are from diverse backgrounds such as, education, health and
sanitation, urban infrastructure, civic affairs, etc. In an advisory capacity, it will facilitate
and suggest suitable action to redress the grievances of the community/people. At the
state level a „State Urban Grievance Redressal Body‟ will be established along similar
lines. The Complaint Cell would forward the grievance to the S&E officer for redressal.
If the S&E officer cannot redress the grievance within a specified time period, the
grievance would be forwarded to the ESMC and further to the District Urban Grievance
Redressal Body constituted at the district level. The grievances which cannot be
redressed at the district level would be referred to the State Urban Grievance Redressal
Body. Each of these authorities can be approached directly for grievance redressal by the
aggrieved person/party.

SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY-

2
BUILDING ACTION PLAN (SECAP)
2.1 It is imperative to build the capacities of an institution to enable a well-planned

and efficient set of arrangements with functionaries equipped with required skills for
achievement of desired goals. In the present context, while implementing sub-projects in
the urban areas the Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) may encounter various
problems in planning, implementing and managing social and environmental issues,
including the need to mitigate and manage adverse impacts. The PIAs need to build
capacities to address the issues that arise in a typical project cycle.
2.1 SOCIAL SECTION

2.2 Capacities for managing social tasks need to be built in two ways. Firstly,
capacities should be built considering the overall institutional development in addressing
social issues and secondly, sub-project specific capacities that are useful in
implementation of the sub-project. Accordingly, an institutional capacity development
strategy and project specific capacity plan has been developed which specifically
identifies the shortcomings in the capacities at different levels and suggests relevant
measures to overcome them.
2.1.1 INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING STRATEGY
2.3 The shortcomings in the capacities of the institutions have been identified and
accordingly the following appropriate measures and training programmes are suggested
for capacity enhancement.
2.1.1.1 KNOWLEDGE ON POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
2.4 A comprehensive document highlighting the roles and responsibilities of various

functionaries, laws and legislations, constitutional provisions, policies of state and central
Governments, World Bank policies etc., needs to be prepared by the DMA. It has to be
prepared in crisp and easy language for better understanding, and possibly circulation in
both in English and Telugu. Staff will be able to handle grievances and conflicts with
competence with the help of such reference documents. In addition to this, special steps
to devise training modules that can be used to train and test the competence of the
functionaries at the municipality level on the legal, policy and administrative framework
need to be designed. Training programmes would help the municipal functionaries in
understanding the framework and help in enhancing their capacity.
2.1.1.2 TRAINING
2.5 Training is an important component for developing capacities. Appropriate and

timely training to the officials with regard to various issues can bring a positive change in
the functioning of the staff. Apart from training in generic areas such as human resource
12
management, information management, government functionaries require training in

handling certain specialized tasks pertaining to social issues as given under.
For Project Managers/State Level Functionaries
2.6 Training on Social Assessment, Appraisal and Management: Staff at the state
level at MSU (CDMA) and at APUIF would require capacity building inputs to help them
understand the social risks attached to different sub-projects and the appropriate R&R
measures that can be taken to mitigate adverse impacts on the community. In addition,
they would require training to equip them with skills they can use to appraise sub-projects
on key social criteria and ensure that they are socially sound.
For Municipal Staff
2.7 Training on consultations and surveys is important for municipal staff to enable
them to get acquainted with processes linked to community participation, community
mobilization, census surveys, baseline surveys, etc. Training on consultation processes
for specific projects and exposure to various participatory methods of consultation can be
imparted by consultants. The training should concentrate on inducing participation and
transparency in sub-project implementation. It should also stress on the type of
information to be generated through the surveys, especially on the socio-economic
information and other related issues. Steps such as attaching municipal functionaries to
consultants and NGOs while undertaking surveys can help the municipal staff in
developing their capacities. Training can also be imparted to NGOs that are involved in
the sub-project. This training would help the staff to be in close contact with the
community as well as all the stakeholders involved.
2.8 Training on Social Assessment of Sub-projects: to enable the municipal staff to

understand the social risks attached to different sub-projects and the appropriate measures
that can be taken to mitigate adverse impacts on the community. This would not only
enable them to prepare socially sound sub-projects but also help them put in place strong
monitoring and management plans.
2.9 Training on Resettlement and Rehabilitation is another very essential requirement

for the municipal staff in addressing social issues. Staff in the ULBs need to build
capacity in this regard. This could include information on related laws and legislations,
safeguard policies, methods of implementation, valuation of assets, grievance redressal,
preparation and implementation of Social Management Plan (SMP)/ Tribal Development
Plan (TDP), social impacts etc., that may be encountered in a typical urban infrastructure
sub-projects. Functionaries who are especially involved in planning and drafting sub-
projects at the ULBs should undergo this training as they play a primary role in
implementing R&R provisions under the project.
13
2.1.1.3 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION
2.10 Designing proper technical plans for urban sub-projects keeping in mind the
social risks is an essential task. Presently, for various technical works, municipalities
often take the help of external consultants. With the consultants operating independently,
the processes are rarely shared through adequate knowledge/capacity transfer. It is
important to facilitate capacity building by (a) in-house training of staff (b) recruitment of
technical staff on contract basis and (b) through better knowledge transfer from external
consultants by linking municipal staff to the consultants.
2.1.1.4 COMMUNICATION STRATEGY
2.11 A well-developed communication strategy needs to be in place to realize better

results in implementing the projects. The concerned municipalities have to develop and
effectively implement their own consultation and communication strategy. Successful
implementation of sub-project would depend, to a large extent, on the ability to maintain
close contact with the community in the sub-project area. For this purpose ULBs need to
develop consultation plans along with the help of an NGO/community. Such a
communication strategy would help in better communication, clearer understanding of
social problems, better service delivery, easier conflict resolution and grievance redressal.
Training modules may be developed to help ULBs draft and implement appropriate
consultation strategies.
2.1.1.5 DEVELOPING THE CAPACITIES OF THE COMMUNITY
2.12 Community can act as partners in the programmes and policies of the government
and help in realizing the project objectives to an optimum capacity. Developing their
capacities becomes vital for achieving the sub-project objectives and the ULBs can
develop its capacities through timely identification of community groups as partners in
sub-project implementation. Self-help groups, Citizens Groups, Neighborhood Action
Committees, DWCUA etc., can be trained under the project with specific plans to include
them in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the project. Regular meeting
with these groups can be organized to stay informed about the requirements of the
people. The ULBs can also design specific training programmes directed towards
developing their entrepreneurial ability and skill development.
2.1.1.6 OTHER MEASURES FOR CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
2.13 Various special programmes can be undertaken by the ULBs to train their staff
and help in developing their capacities. This could include:
 Exposure field visits and tours to best practice sites in the state can be undertaken
from time to time to expose the municipal staff to newer concepts in urban project
management through experience learning.
 Plans to coordinate and work with the public representatives would help the
municipal officials in understanding and coordinating with the political
representatives and devising a united approach in addressing social problems.
14
 Training programmes in skill development, attitudinal and personality

development can also help the officials in developing responsibility and better
higher standards of work culture.
 Initiation of appropriate learning mechanisms like lecture-based training, on-the-
job mentoring, etc., can also help in developing the capacities of the municipal
administration.
2.1.2 STEPS FOR DEVELOPING SUB-PROJECT SPECIFIC

CAPACITIES
Enhancing participation skills
Participation of all stakeholders in sub-projects is an important social objective.
 At all stages of sub-project cycle
 For addressing social and R&R issues related to sub-projects
All functionaries in municipal administration from senior to municipality level should be informed and sensitized to
recognize the efficacy of participatory approaches.
Identifying stakeholders
There are various stakeholders involved in the sub-project cycle. The capacity building should bring coordination among
these stakeholders to address implementation and management issues. The capacities of following stakeholders need to
be built.
 The functionaries who belong to municipal administration and other institutions and who would be involved in the
project as S&E officers, project managers and field staff to interact with the PAPs and beneficiaries.
 Project Affected Persons, and
 The NGOs/community organizations who have role in supporting the PIA and the PAPs to achieve the project goals
Developing capacities of project implementing agency
Not all officials in the PIA have innate capacities to address social and R&R issues. To develop these capacities the PIA
should consider the following:
 Seek participation and respond to participatory endeavors of PAPs.
 A clear structure of institutional arrangements and linkages with R&R functions
 Institutionalizing participatory process for consultations
 Regular training programmes to staff of the PIA and other key stakeholders to sensitize them on R&R activities
 Daily interaction with the community at the field
 Special focus on vulnerable groups like women, aged, Schedules Castes, Scheduled Tribes and economically
weaker sections of the society. Understand the risks to these vulnerable groups through participation techniques like
FGDs, Transect Walks, Social and Resource mapping etc
 Developing inter-departmental coordination and intra-departmental coordination
 Coordination and collaborative functioning with external departments and organizations
Developing the capacities of the community
To address social problems with expertise and ease, the capacities of the PAPs should be utilized at various stages of the
sub-project. Some of the steps that need to be considered are as follows:
 PIA should consider making the PAPs potential partners in designing, planning, implementing and monitoring sub-
projects
 Mobilizing the PAPs to participate through interactive sessions
 Developing community-based organizations for interaction between PIA and PAPs
 Exposing the PAPs and beneficiaries to participation helps the PIA in the following.
1. To minimize resistance through information sharing
2. Seeking stakeholders’ view on intended interventions
3. To form partnerships
4. Better R&R implementation
 Identify the skills of the PAPs and help them in income generation activities in cases of displacement or loss of
livelihood.
 Training the PAPs to help the PIA in implementing R&R provisions, conducting negotiations and managing conflicts.
Capacity building through Non Governmental Organizations (NGO)
The NGOs/community organizations can play an important role while implementing the sub-projects and in addressing
R&R and social issues. Some of the aspects that need to be examined in this direction are as follows.
 PIAs should identify credible NGOs, which have long record of working with the local communities
 PIA should explore possibilities wherever needed to see if Community Organizations can substitute the role of NGOs
 The NGOs/community organizations can help the PIA in various ways, namely:
1. They act as mediators to facilitate initial contact and dialogue between the PIAs and PAPs
2. They supplement the skills and capacity of the PIA all along the sub-project cycle
3. They act as coordinators in planning and implementation R&R plans
4. They help in building capacity of the PIA and PAPs through their experience and knowledge
5. Help coordinating and organizing the community groups
6. They also help as arbitrators in dispute resolving between PIA and PAPs
15
2.1.3 MEETING NEEDS FOR ADDITIONAL EXPERTISE
2.14 Building the social and environmental capacities of municipal officials in ULBs
will take time. For the effective assessment, planning and implementation of sub-
projects, the ULBs will be advised to take the help of external consultants according to
their requirements. The social and environmental consultants recruited to help the ULBs
would be from among environmental specialists, urban planners, social planners and
sociologists, civil engineers/architects, civil supervisors etc.
2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SECTION

2.15 Capacities for the environmental components need to be built across different
institutions that are involved at different stages in the sub-project cycle.
2.16 The prime institution at the implementation stage of the project is the ULB. The
ULBs require improvements in various environmental skills and capacities for the
effective implementation of sub-projects. This is detailed below.
 Ensure environmental compliance for sub-projects finalized for investments: Sub-

projects in every town would be identified through the CMAPP process – a
consultative process initiated by respective municipalities. This involves
consultation with the key stakeholders on the town wide infrastructure problems
and needs, with particular emphasis on slum development. The municipal
officials need to be informed, in greater measure, about the potential adverse
environmental impacts of sub-projects and measures that can mitigate such
impacts.
 Collection of primary and secondary data for environmental

screening/assessments: The ULB needs to collect the necessary primary and
secondary data for the environmental screening and, if required, for the
detailed/limited environmental assessment. This requires identification of areas of
information, methods for gathering data, legal/regulatory issues, etc.
 Environmental screening and assessment: The identified sub project investments

by the ULB or the sub project investment proposals by any other external agency
has to undergo environmental screening to assess the intensity of the negative
environmental impacts. To enable the ULB screen sub-projects easily, a list of
sub-projects categorized on the basis of intensity of environmental impacts has
been provided in this document (Annexure – III). Sub-projects categorized as EA
would need to undergo a detailed environmental assessment and for those
categorized as EB, a status report along with an EMP must be prepared. The ULB
must build capacity to either undertake this activity or outsource it.
 Implement sub-project specific environmental management and monitoring plans:

To mitigate the negative environmental impacts, general environmental
management and Monitoring plan has been prepared, for all sub-project
16
investments (Annexure - IV). The ULB should take the responsibility of

preparing sub-project specific environmental management and monitoring plans,
referring to the annexure provided. The implementation of these mitigation
measures needs diversified capacities. Hence the PIA has to build the required
capacities for its implementation. Necessary capacity building through
handholding support and training will be provided to the ULBs for this purpose.
 Organizing and recording public consultations at the sub-project level: As per the
Information and Consultation Strategy, the ULB needs to conduct and organize
public consultations at different stages of sub-project implementation. The
suggestions and views of the public are essential and useful in the identification,
design, implementation, and monitoring, and operational phases of the investment
in addition to proper grievance redressal.
 Capacity enhancement of the Social and Environmental Management Committee

(ESMC): The proposed social and Environmental Management Committees, at the
level of the ULB, which is supposed to make decisions in finalizing the sub-
project investments, ensure implementation of the Environmental Management
Plan, enable redressal of grievances, etc., would require capacity enhancement to
undertake such tasks.
2.17 Staff at the state level at the MSU (CDMA) and APUIF would require capacity
building inputs to help them understand the environmental risks attached to different sub-
projects and the appropriate measures that can be taken to mitigate adverse environmental
impacts on the community. In addition, they would require training to equip them with
skills they can use to appraise sub-projects on key environmental criteria and ensure that
they are socially sound.

2.2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING
2.19 Environmental training is the critical component of capacity building action plan.
It is this that imparts the knowledge of environmental concepts, impacts of development
on natural environment and ecology. The training in various environmental issues and
exposure to best practices in environmental management will make the ESMC,
communities, NGOs, contractors and key stake holders to be environmentally sensitive.
2.20 The components of training on environmental issues would pertain to, but not be
limited to, the following:
 Basic environmental concepts and issues

 Legal/regulatory framework of environmental issues for urban sector projects
 Identification of environmental impacts
 Environmental screening of sub-projects
 Environmental assessments of sub-projects
 Preparing and implementing Environmental Management Plans (EMPs)
 Regular training programmes in project management, public consultation and
information dissemination, out sourcing, quality monitoring.
 Software training for effective data base administration.
2.2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY BUILDING ACTION PLAN –

TARGET GROUPS
2.21 Based on the existing capacities for each environmental task, the capacity
building action plan identifies the additional capacities required to implement and
manage environmental issues. The table below provides guidance on capacities required
including the target group for each component of environment capacity building at initial
18
stages of Project. Existing capacities keep changing regularly as capacities are built
during the project. However, change of personnel in ULBs due to transfers necessitates
capacity building afresh. Hence, capacity building requirements shall be monitored by
MSU regularly and Capacity building shall be taken up on regular basis. Considerable
capacities have already been in sub-projects taken up so far. Details of the Capacities
built so far are provided as Annexure – XVII for guidance in this regard.

2.2.4 OUTSOURCING AS A MEANS OF CAPACITY BUILDING
2.22 The tasks that the ULB may find difficult to handle currently, either because of
lack of human resource and/or limited technical know-how or for efficiency reasons, may
be outsourced to environmental consultants, contractors, surveyors, NGOs, community
groups as and when required. Over a period of time, the ULB may implement some of
the outsourced tasks on its own, as it builds its own resources and technology. The
following tasks can be outsourced.
 Collection of data necessary for environmental screening and assessment: For

huge investments, intervening with vast area, where the existing ULB staff is not
enough, the procurement of information required for environmental assessment
and management may be outsourced to professional NGOs / Consultants /
surveyors that is.
 Detailed environmental assessment of sub-project investments: The ULBs do not

have the required capacities and technical know how for undertaking detailed
environmental assessment of sub-project investments. Hence, the EA/EB categorized
sub-projects may be given to professional environmental consultants for the
environmental assessment.
 Involving the communities/NGO’s in monitoring the investments: At the sub-project

investment level, the day-to-day monitoring may be devolved to the communities by
forming task forces. They would report to the municipality any discrepancy by the
contractor in sub-project construction. The progress of the sub-project and the duties
of the contractor may be displayed at the sub-project site and disclosed to the public.

INFORMATION AND CONSULTATION STRATEGY
3.1 The Information and Consultation Strategy (ICS) is intended to lay out the way in
which information will be provided to the project implementers and beneficiaries and
also how consultations will be held during project implementation. Its purpose is to
ensure social and environmental issues are effectively addressed by the project and sub-
projects through a transparent and participatory manner.
3.2 The primary responsibility for the implementation of the ICS is vested in the
ULBs. The following matrix shows a typical plan for provision of information and
consultations for sub-projects in this urban project.
3.1 SOCIAL SECTION

Stages of a sub-project Consultation and Information steps
STEP – 1: Proposal and Feasibility (Information Role)
Once a sub-project is identified the PIU should undertake a study determining the feasibility of
the sub-project in view of the adverse social impacts it may pose. This study is an important
source of information to the ULBs and also to the community for whom the sub-project has
Pre-sub-project been proposed. The feasibility study should address the following:
planning stage  Are the proposed goals of the sub-project valid
 Who is the public for whose benefit the sub-project is being introduced
 How is the sub-project going to serve them and is it in their interests
 The alternatives to the sub-project and whether the alternatives are cost affective
 Will there be any adverse social impacts due to the implementation of the sub-project
 What would be the implementation strategy of the sub-project etc.
STEP – 2: Initial Public Consultation (Consultation Role)
Pre-sub-project The sub-project feasibility, its benefits and impacts need to be discussed with the community
planning stage for whom the sub-project is proposed. This would help the implementing agency in taking the
opinion of people, make them understand the pros and cons of the sub-project, alternatives
examined and the sub-project finalized.
STEP – 3: Socio Economic Assessment/Analysis (Information and Consultation Roles)
In this stage it is important to ensure that there are no adverse social impacts of the sub-
project. The sub-project may be passed if it has no impacts and implementation can be
initiated. However, if the sub-project triggers any social impacts then the following steps are
Planning and to be considered while planning the sub-project.
grounding stage  Identification of the PAPs through census survey
 Collection and analysis of the baseline data
 Preparation of Resettlement Action Plan
 Preparation of Tribal Development Plan in case the sub-project effects tribal communities
 Land Acquisition Assessment
 Generation of other relevant information and
 Consultation and communication strategy
Task – 1: Identification of PAPs – Title holders and non-title holders (Information Role)
 Verification of project records: Review of available records on the sub-project area to
generate any information on the sub-project and the PAPs affected by it so that the
information can be made use of in conducting the census survey.
 Census survey/Enumeration: It is the most exhaustive method of generating the data on
the PAPs as it covers all the affected persons in the sub-project area. The survey must be
undertaken to collect two types of information, firstly, the extent and type of physical and
financial loss to the PAPs in terms of loss of structure, land, source of livelihood, etc., and
secondly, the socio-economic profile of the families/ individuals affected by the project.
 Verification of records of right and land records: The records of rights maintained by
the revenue department are the primary land records and they need to be consulted to
determine the ownership, size of land and type of soil and utilization pattern of the land.
 Verification of electoral and public utility records: Other than the titleholders there are
also various other sections of the society that may be encountered in the implementation
21

of a project like the squatter and encroachers. To identify these groups it is important to
verify public records such as ration cards, electoral records, electricity bills etc., to assess
the tenure of stay and ownership of the structure in the project area.
Task – 2: Identification of PAPs (Consultation Role)

 Loss of access to community infrastructure, loss of public utility lines and problems with
host population etc need to be identified. To address these issues consultations with
people in the sub-project area will help.
 Public consultations can be very useful but to achieve greater success the ULBs can use
various participatory methods like public/locality meetings transect walks and
observations, social and resource mapping, focus group discussions and in-depth
interviews etc.
 The consultations on the sub-project should also concentrate to include the problems of
the vulnerable sections of the society like SCs. STs and women. FGDs with these
vulnerable groups, separately, allow free discussion, interest and opinion sharing.
Planning and
grounding stage Task – 3: Generation of other information needed (Information Role)
Along with the verification and identification of the PAPs the ULBs have to undertake various
other assessment to address all possible social and R&R issues in a sub-project. Other
information in a sub-project includes:
 Land Acquisition Screening: The LA screening addresses information issues like

quantity of land required, location of the land required, use of land required and
determining the necessity for LA. This information can be generated through the planning
documents prepared for the sub-project including the engineering designs and maps.
Field verification is also very important to generate this information.
 Land Acquisition Assessment: Through the LA assessment information pertaining to
legal process for LA, timing of the LA, present land use patterns, estimated number of
PAFs affected, tenural status of present users, presence of squatters and encroachers,
presence of public utility services, cultural and historical sites etc., has to be generated.
This information can be generated by a review of the project planning documents, LA Act
and regulatory procedures, information maintained by the ULBs, secondary data like
government statistics, social and demographic research and field survey.
 Institutional capacity: The institutional capacity assessment will list the tasks as to which
administrative entities are to be involved in LA, which personnel are responsible for the
preparation and implementation of the SMP, which office will manage the information
management issues etc.
 Socio-economic analysis: The socio-economic assessment and impacts of the sub-
project can be indicated by the LA assessment and the census survey/enumeration.
However the censes survey of the PAPs and inventory of assets to be acquired is
important. Information and plans and strategies should be planned to address issues like
minimization of displacement, designing of resettlement and rehabilitation measures,
enlistment of PAPs, entitlements for the socially vulnerable, adjustment to host
communities etc. LA assessments, plans, maps, other secondary sources, field
observation, household surveys, FGDs and information generated through participation
can be used to prepare this information database.
 Social Management Plan/Tribal Development Plan: Based on the above analysis the
task of preparing the SMP/TDP should be undertaken accordingly for implementation.
STEP – 4: Detailed Project Report (Information Role)

Initial consultations, feasibility and socio-economic assessments on the sub-project will pave
the way for the preparation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR). The DPR should constitute
information on various components for successful sub-project implementation. The DPR will
constitute:
 A final design of the proposed sub-project after examining the various alternatives to
Planning and reduce the social impact on the people
grounding stage  The cost of the sub-project construction
 The time frame the completion of the sub-project
 The institutional arrangements for implementing the sub-project
 Plans and proposals covering R&R issues
 Design to ensure community participation in the sub-project (Beneficiaries, PAPs, NGOs,
community organizations)
 Plan for external help wherever needed (Experts, Advisors, Consultants)
 Grievance redressal mechanisms
22

STEP – 5: Preparing for project implementation and sharing information (Information
and Consultation Role)
Once all the documents like prepared list of PAPS affected, the type of entitlements, plans for
reconstruction of public utility infrastructures, details of land acquisition etc., steps have to be
taken to disseminate the information among the PAPs and prepare agencies for project
implementation.
Task – 1: Announcement of the project (Information role)

Before starting the project and plans for addressing the R&R issues, one of the foremost
requirements is to announce the commencement of the project to the public and particularly to
the affected people through the daily newspaper or through local radio or television. This is to
make the people aware of the coming of the project.
Task – 2: Displaying the layout of the project affected area (Information role)
A layout map of the project indicating the affected area to be acquired has to be displayed
publicly. The functionaries of the implementing agency can also make special visits to the
project area and inform the people about the requirements of the projects and its impact on
the people.
Task – 3: R&R policy provisions and entitlements for the PAPs (Information role)
Dissemination of information on the entitlement provisions for the losses can be undertaken
by distributing leaflets incorporating the highlights of the provisions of the policy, and the
Planning and benefits that will accrue to the people after the completion of the sub-project. If need be, the
grounding stage pamphlets may be printed in the local language and distributed.
Task – 4: Consultations with the affected people and public hearing (Consultation Role)
Before land acquisition and construction activity related to the sub-project, project
implementation authorities need to organize consultations with the PAPs. These consultations
would provide an opportunity to the people to interact with the project-implementing agency
with regard to the various arrangements and help in coming to a consensus on the project
arrangements. This would also help the project-implementing agency to make final changes
in the plans, if required, and verify the details pertaining to the PAPs and land acquisition.
Task – 5: Involving NGOs/community in R&R implementation (Consultation role)

It is important to identify at an early stage, an NGO who has been working in that area for
some time. The NGO can facilitate discussions with the affected people. The NGO will act as
a catalyst in helping the affected people to resettle and rehabilitate themselves. In addition, it
will lend transparency in the process of implementation of social safeguard measures by the
PIA.
The Environmental and Social Management Committee (ESMC) comprising of officials of the
project implementing agency, other line departments and community/NGO representatives
would be formed to supervise the R&R implementation. This committee can also undertake
negotiations with the people at various stages of the implementation of the project.
STEP – 6: Addressing issues that arise during implementation (Consultation Role)
As observed in the previous there may be many issues that the project-implementing agency
may face during the implementation of the project such as:
Implementation stage  Problems pertaining to compensations & allowances
 Unexpected reactions from the PAPs with regard to the entitlements
 Conflicts between the displaced community and the host community etc.
To overcome these problems the PIA would adopt a consensual approach and address the
grievances and queries of the people affected.
STEP – 9: Monitoring Process through participation (Information and consultation
Roles)
The process of participatory monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is the logical extension of the
ICS activities. Beneficiary committees can be formed for monitoring and supervision of the
sub-project works. The process should also ensure that the project benefits have properly
reached the affected people and the execution of the project sticks its original designs so that
social compliance is achieved.
Task – 1: Ensuring the implementation of the SMP/TDP and timely delivery of

Monitoring and entitlements (Consultation Role)
evaluation stage Ensuring that the SMP/TDP is implemented according to a designed plan and also the timely
delivery of the compensations and rehabilitation assistance to the PAPs is the responsibility of
the PIA. The role of an NGO can be very crucial at this stage.
23

Task – 2: Reporting (Information Role)
Reporting is an important aspect of the M&E process. Periodical reporting is important to
generate information on the progress of the work undertaken. The status of the
implementation of the SMP/TDP and progress has to be documented. Some thematic impact
studies can also be planned and carried out on different aspects of rehabilitation in the project
area carried out on different aspects of rehabilitation on a periodical basis. These aspects
have to be indicated in the SMP since it will be a perspective plan document for the duration
of project implementation. The information required for monitoring need to have the following
characteristics:
 Timely reporting
 Relevant information provision (For example in a construction project, when the activity of
site clearance is behind schedule, the reporting system is to be able to help probe into the
reasons for such delay)
 Reliable and realistic information
 Format oriented reporting
Third Party Quality Audit & Monitoring consultants are monitoring

Stages of a project Consultation and Information steps
STEP 1: proposal and feasibility (Information and consultation)
A new sub-project may be proposed in different ways viz. public demand, Government’s
proposal, public representatives like chairperson, M.L.A. or M.P. A specific sub project may
have financial or social benefits but may have adverse environmental impacts.
CMAPP process shall be employed in the identification of sub-project investments for the town
(participatory mechanisms and public consultations). It should be ensured that the
environmental issues are also considered in the identification and prioritization of the sub-
project investments along with social, financial, infrastructural and local issues. The PIA should
procure the sub-project related information inclusive of the environmental issues, from primary
Identification and and secondary sources, consultations, etc.
Design
A rapid appraisal for feasibility of the sub-project is necessary at this stage. The following
information should be included for the feasibility, identification and prioritization of sub-projects,
as part of the CMAPP process.
 Origin and purpose of the sub-project – urgency, needs addressed, background information
of the sub-project.
 Existing environmental scenario and anticipated change (positive and negative) in both the
situations (with and with out investment).
 Beneficiaries and the benefits Vs environmental impacts
 Analysis of alternatives i.e. possible alternative investments to address the identified needs
and problems.
STEP 2: Initial public consultation (Information)
Identification and Any sub-project that has been identified is to be put forth for public consultation. This would
Design help the ULBs to obtain people’s perception. This would also help the ULB gain public
cooperation and participation during the implementation of the sub-project.
STEP – 3: Environmental Screening
Planning and At this stage, it is very important that the sub-projects are screened for environmental
Grounding categorization. All the sub-projects that are categorized as environmentally sensitive should
under go detailed (category EA) or limited (category EB) environmental assessment, depending
on the categorization.
24

STEP – 4: Environmental Assessment (Information and Consultation)
For the assessment of sub-projects as specified above, the ULB may employ professional
consultants to undertake detailed environmental assessments.
Task 1: Review of the feasibility report (Information)

To start with, it is necessary to provide consultants with the rapid appraisal information
prepared by the concerned authorities as given in ―Step – 1‖.
Task 2: Procurement of Baseline Data (Information)

The sub projects that have to go through environmental assessment should have baseline data
of various parameters listed below.
 Ambient Air Quality: Air quality data pertaining to the possible impact area at critical
locations of sub project intervention impact area.
 Water quality: Present water quality in the lakes/ponds/rivers that fall within the possible
impact area due to the sub project intervention.
 Ground water table: If there is a possibility of impact on the ground water table / ground
water quality due to the sub-project intervention
 Topography: The topographical details of the sub-project location; present flooding
patterns and soil conditions.
Planning and  Flora and Fauna: the endangered species, trees, green cover that may be affected. The
Grounding forest department can be consulted for the list of endangered flora and fauna along the sub-
project alignment.
 Presence of environmentally sensitive sites/structures: presence of any cultural
structure, site, urban reserve forest area, and location falling under CRZ, natural and tribal
habitats in the sub-project intervention area.
 Existing Infrastructural facilities: existing infrastructural facilities that would be affected
by various sub projects.
 Physical Survey & Environmental Mapping : Physical survey and mapping of sub-project
alignment area should include demarcated flora, vegetation, water bodies, infrastructural
facilities, environmentally sensitive structures along with other structures and features in the
intervention area.
Task 3: Sub-project specific consultations (Consultation)

Focus group discussions, consultation with PAPs, NGOs and/or community organisations
should be conducted during environmental assessment to:
 Consider their views and representations during the assessment process.
 Identify alternatives for assessment, as may be required.
 Identify sub-project specific community teams and formulate management and monitoring
plans involving the communities, as may be required.
STEP – 5: Detailed Sub-project Report (Information)

Initial consultations and the assessment report on the sub-project will pave the way for the
preparation of the Detailed sub-Project Report (DPR). The detailed sub-project report will have
plans, recommendations of the assessment (assessment NA for ―EC‖ sub projects), and
various other components that are needed to implement the sub-project successfully. The
DPR will constitute:
Planning and  A final design of the proposed sub-project including the recommendations. (as per the
Grounding assessment wherever applicable)
 The time frame within which the sub-project will be completed.
 The institutional and capacity arrangements for the implementation of the sub-project.
 The involvement of experts, advisors and external agencies wherever necessary in the sub-
project to achieve compliance with the environmental goals of the sub project.
 Grievance redress mechanisms for the sub-project investment
 Environmental management and monitoring plans inclusive of EMP costs.
STEP – 6: Information Disclosure and Public Consultations (Information and

Consultation)
The final draft of the detailed sub-project report of each of the investments shall be disclosed to
the public including the recommendations during public consultations. The DPR shall be made
Planning and available to the public at a suitable place.
Grounding
The number of intermediary consultations depends on the duration and type of the sub-project.
The consultations shall be done with the community to assess the quality of the construction
and any other critical information related with the investment. Information in connection with
environmental monitoring may be procured from time to time.
25

STEP - 7: Intermediary Public Consultations (consultations)
Sub Project The number of intermediary consultations depends on the duration and type of the sub-
Implementation project. The consultations may be done with the community to assess the quality of the
construction and any other critical information related with the investment. Information in
connection with environmental monitoring may be procured from time to time.
STEP – 8: Display and Disclosure of Information (Information)
The periodic progress of the sub-project investment at each stage should be displayed at the
Sub Project construction sites. It should consist of the following parameters
Implementation  Number of complaints received and addressed
 Finance spent and progress
 Estimated time for completion
STEP – 9: Grievance Redress (Consultation)
Sub Project The S&E Officer and the ESMC (Environmental and Social Management Unit) shall try to
Implementation redress grievances of people during the sub-project implementation. They should accept the
complaints from the sub project affected area through phone call or in writing, and take
necessary action.
Step 10: Monitoring of Baseline Information (Information)
The monitoring process should ensure the proper implementation of the EMP. Periodical
Monitoring and monitoring of change in air quality, water quality, soil erosion etc. that may occur due to sub-
Evaluation project intervention. This is useful to take up timely measures to reduce the adverse impacts.
The frequency of monitoring may be as per the guidelines given in the assessment report of the
sub project.
Step – 11: consultations for sub-project maintenance (consultation)
Operation and
maintenance Consultations with the public to form community task forces for the sub-project operation and
maintenance should be conducted for the sustainability of the sub-project investment.

SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUB–PROJECT

4
CATEGORIZATION AND SCREENING
4.1 Screening and categorization of the sub-projects in the urban sector will be based
on the likely impacts on social and environmental safeguards.
4.1 SELECTION OF THE SUB-PROJECTS

4.2 Under the APUS Project that is implemented in 43 Class – I municipalities in AP,
(prior to bifurcation), Critical Infrastructure Investment Plans (CIIP) are prepared on the
basis of the CMAPP process. The CIIP for each individual municipality identifies the
infrastructure requirements and details the prioritized preliminary sub-project proposals.
This CMAPP process is being extended to all municipalities in AP.
4.3 The sub-projects identified by CIIP would cover citywide infrastructure, slum
development and localized projects, identified by the municipalities in consultation with
the communities and other stakeholders. Urban services to improve will be chosen and
implemented by eligible ULBs who self select themselves in a demand driven manner
based on access criteria established under the project which would be approved by the
Steering Committee in the Government of AP.
4.2 SCREENING OF SUB-PROJECTS

4.4 To ensure that the sub-projects are socially and environmentally sound, a
screening methodology has been devised to identify the nature of impact.
4.2.1 SOCIAL SCREENING AND CATEGORIZATION
4.5 Social screening of a sub-project would be on the basis of whether it involves

Project Affected Persons and/or tribal people. This information whether a sub-project
involves PAPs or tribals can be ascertained based on the information collected through
the socio-economic survey, verification of assets and losses and consultations with the
community. In respect of sub-projects involving land acquisition, area of land being
acquired out of the total land holding of a PAP is also critical in assessing the impact. In
case of sub-projects involving alienation of Government lands, encumbrance status of the
land shall be ascertained and impacts on encroachers or squatters, if any, shall also be
assessed.
A sub-project is considered as having adverse social impacts when there are
person/persons or families affected/displaced due to loss of land, structures and assets,
crops or trees, livelihood and/or community infrastructure or if there are any tribal people
who are affected by the intervention.
27
Based on assessed impacts, sub-projects are categorized as follows.

4.6 The possible adverse social impacts could be through:
 Loss of land
 Loss of structures & immovable property
 Loss of livelihood
 Loss of crops and trees
 Loss of public utility lines/community infrastructure
4.7 It is important to consider losses to vulnerable sections of society and thus, special
provisions must be put in place to mitigate such losses.
4.2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING AND CATEGORIZATION
4.8 Based on the severity of the impacts due to the sub-projects on the people, the
sub-projects can be divided into three main categories.
4.2.2.1 CATEGORY – EA SUB-PROJECTS
 A sub-project is classified as Category – EA if it is likely to have significant

adverse social and/or environmental impacts that are sensitive, diverse or
unprecedented. These impacts may affect an area broader than the sites or
facilities subject to physical works.
For a Category EA sub-project, a detailed environmental assessment along with

an environmental management plan is necessary. This should examine the
projects potential negative and positive environmental impacts, compare them
with those of feasible alternatives (including the “without project” situation), and
recommend any measures needed to prevent, minimize, mitigate or compensate
for adverse impacts.1
4.2.2.2 CATEGORY – EB SUB-PROJECTS
 A proposed sub-project would be classified as category – EB if it is likely to have

potential adverse environmental impacts on human populations but such impacts
are less adverse than those that fall under the Category – EA. These impacts are
site specific; few if any of them are irreversible; and in most cases mitigatory
measures can be designed more readily than for a category – EA projects.
For sub-projects falling in the Category – EB, an environmental status report

along with an Environmental Management Plan will have to be prepared. Like in
the sub-projects falling in Category – EA, the potential negative and positive
1
Sub projects irrespective of their type, scale or any other parameter that are falling in locations or areas
specific to natural habitats, tribal habitations, cultural sites, heritage constructions, religious monuments,
coastal regulation zones, urban forestry or reserved forests shall undergo detailed environmental
assessment.
29
environmental impacts for the projects under Category – EB will have to be

identified and measures needed to prevent, minimize, mitigate or compensate for
adverse impacts should be examined.
4.2.2.3 CATEGORY – C SUB-PROJECTS
 A proposed sub-project is classified as category – EC if it is likely to have

minimal or no adverse social and/or environmental impacts. Beyond screening
no further action is required for a Category – EC project.
4.9 A detailed list of potential sub-projects categorized into A, B, or C categories are

provided in Annexure - III. The categorization of sub-projects as A, B, or C for this
project was done on the basis of:
 Score given by the experts derived from Gujarat Urban Reforms project report
(modified Delphi Technique).
 Discussions with Municipal authorities, Urban and Environmental experts, and other
stakeholders.
4.10 However, irrespective of the categorization of the sub-project, if the investment

falls in an environmentally sensitive location, a detailed assessment would be done for the
sub-project. Such locations include:
 Tribal habitats
 Natural habitats
 Coastal regulation zones
 Cultural sites/monuments/heritage structures
 Urban forestry/reserved forest
A list of environmentally sensitive locations is given in Annexure – V.

SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

5
AND MONITORING PLANS
5.1 Monitoring and management of the sub-projects will be at two levels. The
CDMA, through its Municipal Strengthening Unit (MSU), would be responsible for
overall management and monitoring of different sub-projects across municipalities while
the concerned ULB will undertake management and monitoring of individual sub-
projects at the local level.
5.2 At the ULB level, the implementation, management and monitoring of the sub-
projects will be under the control of the Municipal Commissioner. Field activity and
implementation of the infrastructure works will be managed by the Municipal Engineer
who would be assisted by a senior officer designated as the Social & environmental
Officer. Since the Town Planning Wing and the Revenue Wing of the ULB are more
acquainted with Land Acquisition and revenue issues, they would assist the S&E Officer
(preferably Deputy Engineer level personnel) to manage and monitor the social tasks.
Similarly the Medical and Health Officer in the ULB could take assist the S&E Officer to
manage and monitor the environmental tasks. In this way all these wings within the ULB
can share the work and also be in contact with the Engineering Wing that would be
planning all the infrastructural projects in the municipalities.
5.1 SOCIAL SECTION

5.3 An important component of project management is monitoring of project
implementation. Monitoring of sub-projects would ensure completion of sub-projects as
per schedule and within the resources provided. Regular information on sub-project
implementation through monitoring will be crucial in addressing social issues in time and
redressing the grievances of people.
5.4 The social management plan has been prepared based on the potential adverse
social impacts due to sub-projects. Some sub-projects may require Land acquisition and
alienation of Government lands. In case of sub-projects involving alienation of
Government lands, impacts on encroachers or squatters, if any, shall also be assessed.
. The detailed social management plan is annexed as Annexure – VI. This includes:
 Potential social impacts

 Mitigation and other measures
 Monitoring strategy and contingency measures
 Agencies to be involved for the respective tasks

5.6 Environmental management strategy as part of overall project management
strategy includes the management of environmental issues incorporated in the project
cycle that covers all the stages of a sub project investment from identification of an
investment till the completion of the sub-project and post completion/operational phases
of the investment.
5.7 Thus, an environmental management strategy needs to address the following
 Identification and prioritization of sub-project investments that includes

environmental component.
 Environmental categorization of sub projects
 Environmental assessment of sub projects
 Sub-project alternatives
 Environmental Management Plan (Mitigation Measures)
5.2.1 IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE SUB-

PROJECT INVESTMENTS
5.8 The ULB or the Project implementing agency should identify the problems and
issues of the town with proper information and consultation mechanisms with a focus on
34
problems and issues that are source of environmental degradation. This will enable them
to identify and prioritize environmentally sensitive investments.
5.2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CATEGORIZATION OF SUB PROJECTS
5.9 The ULBs should make use of the categorization list discussed above for the
classification of sub projects.
5.2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF SUB PROJECTS
5.10 The EA and EB categorized sub project investments should undergo detailed and
limited environmental assessment respectively. The minimum data requirements sheet is
annexed as Annexure – VII for the environmental assessment of sub-projects.
5.11 All the sub-projects that are screened and categorized as EA using the
environmental screening/environmental categorization framework provided with the
SEAMF will have to undergo a “Detailed Environmental Assessment”. All the sub
projects that fall in EB category have to be assessed for a “Limited Environmental
Assessment”. The sub-project investments categorized as either EA or EB, should also
follow the Environmental Management Plan provided with the framework. The EMP
provided is more generic which should be made more site-specific. It should also be
noted that the procedures for undertaking an environmental assessment is a special task
and requires a considerable knowledge in undertaking it. The guidelines for undertaking
an environmental assessment are provided as Annexure – VIII.
5.2.4 SUB-PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
5.12 When the environmental assessment is undertaken, it has to be noted that if the
sub-project is not feasible in view of the environmental components then the project
implementing agencies should look for alternatives in the sub-project design that are
environmentally compatible.
5.2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (MITIGATION

MEASURES)
5.13 A generic Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that addresses impacts at all
the stages of a sub project cycle (design, implementation and operational phases) is
annexed with this framework. It has to be followed during the design, implementation
and post implementation/operational phases of a specific sub-project investment. The
plan gives the mitigation measures for each sub-project investment that will
eliminate/mitigate adverse or negative environmental impacts. However, these plans need
to be made site specific for each of the sub-project after undertaking the necessary
assessments. The Environmental Management Plan (generic) has been annexed as
Annexure – IX. Suggested format for Environmental Management Plan for Water
Supply Improvement sub-projects has been provided as Annexure – XVI which includes
reference to relevant items in BoQ. Environmental Management Plan along with
35
relevant clauses for Environmental, Occupational Health & Safety (EHS) shall be part of
bid documents. Bid documents of sub-projects taken up so far under APMDP can be
referred for guidance in this aspect.
5.14 Some of the mitigation measures need to be initiated during implementation stage
and some during post implementation stage. The responsibility of handling mitigation
measures for various environmental concerns at various stages of the project has been
designated to different organizations as given below.
Project stage Responsibilities agencies Responsibilities

/organizations
Design ULB (social and Incorporation of mitigation and protection
environmental unit), PHED measures during engineering design stage,
review and approval of the same from time to
time.
Appraisal MSU / APPCB Review the DPR for assessments and EMP.
Tendering MSU Inclusion of environmental concerns, EMP

costs and role of contractor in the
implementation of EMP.
Construction ULB (social and Monitor implementation of environmental

environmental unit) / PHED / mitigation and protection measures,
APPCB / Contractor /TPQA/ environmental monitoring,
NGOs / Communities.
Operational ULB, NGOs, Communities, Environmental Monitoring during operation of

phase Contractors/ APPCB the sub-project investment.
5.2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN
5.15 Monitoring is basically meant to check whether the environmental impacts

identified are being taken care of. This, essentially, involves cross-checking the
proposed EMP through suitable indicators during both the construction and operation
stage. The proposed monitoring plan is based on set of indicators, which outline the state
of environment and the project activities. The monitoring follows suggested mitigation
measures made in the EMP. Monitoring includes checking whether contractor and/or
urban local bodies meet the requirements during implementation and post implementation
phases.
5.16 The proposed monitoring plan is divided into construction stage monitoring plan
and operation stage monitoring plan. The primary monitoring responsibility has been
assigned to ULBs in coordination with Third Party Quality Audit (TPQA) consultant.
At the overall project level, the Municipal Strengthening Unit (MSU) at CDMA would be
responsible for monitoring sub-projects with the ULBs/ TPQA submitting regular
monitoring reports to the MSU. At present, TPQA is submitting monthly monitoring
reports to MSU on implementation of EMPs. MSU shall co-ordinate with ULBs and
36
ensure that rectification measures for the lapses/ non-compliance reported by TPQA are
taken up immediately.
5.17 As described earlier, there may be some specific environmental impacts during
construction phase for each sub-project, but most of impacts have a generic impact on
land, water, air or ecology. Hence, a generic monitoring plan has been suggested. The
generic monitoring plan is part of the monitoring plan mentioned in the Annexure - IV.
5.18 An exclusive module for Environmental Monitoring has been included in

Integrated Project Monitoring System (IPMS) - Project Monitoring application developed
by Centre for Good Governance which facilitates online submission of reports by ULBs
and monitoring the same by MSU. Typical formats for Environmental, Occupational
Health & Safety Monthly Reports are provided as Annexure - XV

6 SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS
6.1 URBAN SOCIAL SAFEGUARD FRAMEWORK
6.1.1 OBJECTIVES
6.1 The primary objective of the Urban Social Safeguard Framework (USSF) for the
Andhra Pradesh Municipal Development Project (APMDP) is to ensure that the Project
contributes to the social well-being of all sections of the urban population. The
Framework aims to protect and safeguard the interests of society, especially that of the
vulnerable sections such as the poor, women, children, scheduled castes and scheduled
tribes, the old and disabled, etc., in a manner that they do not suffer from any adverse
impacts due to any urban infrastructure and reform initiatives under the Project while
enabling them to improve or at the minimum retain their previous standard of living,
earning capacity and production levels.
6.2 The Framework envisages a consultative and participative approach in the design
and implementation of sub-projects under APMDP with a view to ensure that the benefits
intended are socially and culturally compatible.
6.1.2 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF USSF
6.3 The basic principles of USSF are:
1. To maximize the benefits to the vulnerable sections of society, this includes the
urban poor, women and children, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, etc.
2. To ensure the participation of the affected community, particularly women and
vulnerable sections, at every stage of planning, implementation and monitoring of
R&R programmes.
3. To minimize the resettlement by exploring all viable alternative project designs
4. Where displacement is unavoidable, to develop and execute resettlement plans in
such a manner that displaced persons are compensated for their losses, assisted
during their move and supported during the transition period
5. Particular attention to the needs of the poor and vulnerable sections during
resettlement
6. To minimize acquisition of land and other assets during project design and
preparation
7. Entitlements to be extended to all those who will be available and willing to shift
to the new location, if displaced
8. The prescribed entitlements in the USSF to be extended to affected people, if they
abide by the provisions of the USSF.
9. Adequate infrastructure and civic amenities to be developed in the resettlement
sites
10. Suitable arrangements to deal with grievances of the affected persons
38
11. To provide adequate institutional support, financial and physical resources to

implement Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) programme in most efficient
and timely manner
12. To prepare a separate Tribal Development Plan if there are tribal population
affected by the sub-project.

 The list of structures along with details of measurements may be sent to the R&B
Department or any competent officer specified by District Collector.
 R&B Department or competent officer specified by District Collector to verify the
measurements and assess the value of the assets
o Value of assets would be determined as per the Standard Schedule Rates

(SSR).
o SSR is a compendium of unit rates for structures based on:
 Type of structure
 Quality of materials used
6.17 In cases where relocation is inevitable, transitional allowance would be paid for
reestablishing residence would be paid. The PAPs/PAFs will also be provided with free
transport facility for shifting materials and in case transport facility cannot be arranged a
shifting allowance of would be provided.
6.18 Provisions made for compensation of structures and land falling under
commercial category is similar to that of the Residential structures. However, for all the
vulnerable PAPs who have lost commercial structures, special provisions like economic
assistance and vocational training will be provided.
6.19 In case the structure becomes unviable for habitation, as recommended by a

certified Architect/Engineer, then the PAP has the option to surrender the remaining part
of land and structure for which the compensation will be paid as per relevant provisions
in Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and
Resettlement Act, 2013.
6.1.6.3 SQUATTERS

6.1.6.6 LOSS OF PUBLIC UTILITY LINES/COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE
6.27 In the event of loss of public utility lines/community infrastructure, the project
implementing authorities will take appropriate measures to restore them at the earliest or
provide alternative arrangements.
6.1.7 PROCESS & PROCEDURES
6.1.7.1 CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE
6.28 Public consultation, participation and transparency will be used as cardinal

principles in dealing with the adverse impacts. Problems will be reduced when people
are properly informed and consulted about the project and allowed to make meaningful
choices and participate in the decision making process. The consultations will enrich
project planning and design, improve public awareness of development objectives of the
projects and promote project acceptability and transparency. In recognition of the
importance in providing accurate and early information to the key stakeholders, the
project authorities will prepare project details and disseminate among the stakeholders.
PAPs, host communities, project personnel, local government agencies, NGOs and other
interested persons and groups will be interacted right from the early stages of the project
preparation on a regular basis for developing and implementing the SMP. Consultations
at the stage of project preparation mainly include consultations during screening,
verification and census survey. The SMP so prepared based on survey, individual and
group consultations will be placed at public places for the benefit of public reading and
their comments. If not the entire document, the executive summary of the SMP will be
prepared in local language and will be displayed for the public. Similarly, a brochure on
the USSF will be prepared in English and local language and will be displayed at public
disclosure points. The public disclosure places, at the minimum, include the following:
43
 In the offices and libraries of the project area (Commissioner and Municipal
libraries)
 District Collectorate and MRO Offices
 Zilla Parishad Offices
 Departmental web sites
6.29 The disclosure material will provide the information on contact person‟s address
and telephone number for the public to offer their comments and to conduct
consultations. Consultations will be carried out even during implementation and
monitoring period both by project personnel and independent bodies as required.
6.1.7.2 BASELINE CENSUS SURVEY
6.30 Collection and effective use of data are essential for both resettlement planning
and implementation. The baseline census survey of sub-project area would be conducted
to assist in gathering comprehensive details about various aspects of the PAPs, including
their socio-economic and cultural profile, which can be utilized to formulate the SMP. It
would also provide the scale and impact of sub-project in the form of resettlement. The
baseline census survey would ensure the following:
 Identification of PAPs through visual documentation

 Identification of vulnerable groups
 Minimization of displacement
 Designing appropriate resettlement and rehabilitation measures
6.31 The baseline census survey should be complemented by qualitative information

through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and other participatory tools. In
addition, wherever possible, aerial maps should be used to screen out families entering
the sub-project area after the baseline survey.
44
6.1.7.3 LAND ACQUISITION
6.32 The process of land acquisition will be as per the LA Act.
6.1.7.4 VOLUNTARY LAND DONATION
6.33 There may be a number of instances where the titleholders, landowners, private
trusts, industrial areas affected by sub-projects would come forward to voluntarily donate
the land for the development activities undertaken in the municipality. It can also act a
useful tool to avoid land acquisition wherever possible and reduce the cost of
implementation. The voluntary donation can be finalized during the formal consultations
with the community and the PAPs. Wherever possible, specific Focus Group Discussions
can be conducted with stakeholders. Any grievances with regard to voluntary donation
can be redressed at the Grievance Redressal Cell established at the ULB or any neutral
institution that would mediate between the PAP and the Project authorities. Consent to
voluntary donation of land could be agreed upon with the help of a MoU/Gift
Deed/Affidavit to implementation agency. The MoU/Gift Deed/Affidavit for Voluntary
Land Donation is provided as Annexure - X.
6.1.7.5 DEMOLITION OF STRUCTURES
6.34 EPs will be allowed to salvage materials from their demolished structure. Project
authorities need to provide a notice period of at least two months before demolition of
structures. The allotment of new house site or other entitlements, as applicable, will be
made available prior to the eviction notice. After demolition of the structures, EPs will
hand over the sites to the project authorities. The delay between the clearing of the site
and the commencement of construction will be minimized to avoid the possibility of re-
encroachment. The project authorities may evict people following the safeguards and
principles of notification, witnessing, and assistance described in the LA Act.
6.1.7.6 PAYMENT OF COMPENSATION
6.35 The payment of compensation to PAPs will be as per the entitlements specified in
the entitlement framework. The mode of payment will be through account payee cheques
directly deposited in the accounts of beneficiaries.
6.1.7.7 RESETTLEMENT COLONY
6.36 The municipalities can also extend the provision of alternative resettlement sites
in cases where a large number of people are displaced, especially those who are
vulnerable. Adequate basic infrastructure and utilities would be provided in such
colonies. The basic infrastructure, in general, includes safe drinking water, approach and
internal roads, sanitation, electricity, schools, hospital, streetlights, bus-shelter etc. The
project authorities will allot the developed sites for house and business purposes in the
Resettlement Colony. The house sites in the Colony will be provided as an option and
households may still opt for self-relocation. The local host population in the resettlement
45
area will also be consulted about their views and needs, and be given appropriate support
to reduce any adverse impacts caused by influx of new people.
6.1.7.8 TRAINING
6.37 Providing training will encourage self-employment activities. The eligible PAPs
will be trained in skill development and up-gradation. The project authorities will
organize these training programmes through NGOs or training institutes at project cost.
6.1.7.9 ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE UNDER GOVERNMENT SCHEMES
6.38 For people whose livelihoods are affected due to the sub-project intervention, the
USSF provides for support and economic assistance through coverage under government
schemes that are presently being implemented in the state. This provision is to ensure that
the PAPs are provided with an opportunity to recover their earlier livelihood standards.
Some of the schemes under which the PAPs will be provided with employment
opportunity are given below.
Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY)

6.39 SJSRY is a centrally sponsored scheme which aims to provide gainful
employment to the urban unemployed or underemployed through encouraging them to
setup self employed ventures or provision of wage employment. This scheme is
applicable to all urban towns and the PAPs who are affected due to sub-projects under the
APMDP can be covered through this scheme on a priority basis.
Urban Self Employment Programme (USEP)

6.40 USEP have three distinct parts namely assistance to individuals, urban poor
beneficiaries and groups of urban poor women for setting up gainful self employment
ventures. Under this scheme a loan of up to Rs. 50,000 is provided to the beneficiaries to
start their self employment venture. The beneficiary‟s contribution under this scheme is
only 5 percent of the total project cost. The selection criterion for the scheme is also
simple and accommodates beneficiaries with a minimum educational qualification of 9th
standard.
Chief Minister’s Empowerment of Youth (CMEY)

6.41 This programme was launched with a goal of reducing employment in the urban
and rural areas of state provides and provides various welfare measures for the youth.
The scheme concentrates on encouraging group activities and group investments while
planning self employment ventures. The beneficiaries can form their own groups of 5 to
10 individuals and approach the government for funds.
Development of Women and Children in Urban Areas (DWCUA)

6.42 This scheme is distinguished by the special incentive extended to urban poor
women who decide to set up self-employment ventures in a group. Groups of urban poor
women take up an economic activity suited to their skill, training, aptitude, and local
conditions. To be eligible for subsidy under this scheme, the DWCUA group should
consist of a minimum of 10 urban poor women. The group selects an organizer from
46
amongst the members. The group also selects its own activity. As far as possible,
activities are selected out of an identified shelf of projects for that area maintained by the
town urban poverty eradication cell.
Urban Wage Employment Programme (UWEP)

6.43 The UWEP seek to provide wage employment to the beneficiaries living below
poverty line within the jurisdiction of the Urban Local Bodies (ULB) by utilizing the
labour for the construction of socially and economically useful public assets. This
programme applies to ULBs with 5-lakh population.
Schemes under SC/BC Corporation & Tribal Welfare Department

6.44 The Social Welfare and Tribal Welfare Departments have initiated many
programmes and loaning schemes for the welfare of the SCs, STs and BCs in the form of
economic support schemes for the upliftment of the poor. Economic assistance is
provided through margin money at low rates of interest under special economic support
schemes, PMRY & CMEY, etc.
6.1.7.9 PREPARATION OF SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (SMP)
6.45 A Social Management plan will be prepared for each sub-project based on the
baseline information collected from the PAPs during the census survey of the sub-project
area. The Plan will be prepared in close consultation with the affected persons and should
reflect their preferences. The SMP will also include an implementation schedule broken
into specific activities and coordinated with the chronogram of construction. Guidelines
for the preparation of SMP are given as Annexure – XI. A Resettlement Action Plan
(RAP) will be prepared in case of S1 category projects involving more than 200 PAPs.
Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) will be prepared if the impacts are minor
and PAPs are less than 200. RAP/ARAP approved by the ULB/ competent authority will
be implemented as per the specified timelines during the sub-project.
6.46 The SMP should be disclosed at specific public disclosure points for public
review and comments. The SMP should ensure periodic monitoring of the Resettlement
& Rehabilitation programme by project authorities along with NGOs/community
organizations. Need for involvement of NGOs in supporting the ULBs in their activities
is provided as Annexure – XII.
6.1.7.10 PREPARATION OF TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
6.47 The identities, cultures, lands and resources of tribal groups are uniquely
intertwined and vulnerable to changes caused by development programmes. Because of
this uniqueness and cohesiveness, the development programmes that include tribal
regions/population/habitations, should ensure that the tribal groups are not disadvantaged
by these development interventions and the proposed mitigation measures/benefits are
culturally compatible.
6.48 The Tribal Development Plan will present strategies for addressing the issues
pertaining to tribal groups and must be based on informed participation. Wherever
47
adverse impacts are anticipated, the social assessment should identify measures to avoid
or mitigate harm through a Tribal Development Plan in consultation with tribal groups.
Guidelines for the preparation of Tribal Development Plan are given as Annexure –
XIII.
6.1.7.11 PROVISIONS FOR OTHER VULNERABLE GROUPS
6.49 Additional assistance and focus on vulnerable sections is essential since they need
more time to resettle in new settings and accordingly specific measures are proposed to
these sections. The Entitlement Framework includes social safeguard provisions for
vulnerable groups. In order to provide socio-economic security to the affected women
members, it is proposed to register allotment of house in the joint name of the EP and
his/her spouse. The entire amount to be paid other than the compensation, will be
awarded jointly and equally in favour of titleholder and his/her spouse. In case the owner
of the asset is woman, then the entire amount will be awarded in the name of woman.
However, the compensation amount of an asset will be paid to those who own the asset
legally.
6.1.7.12 COST AND BUDGETING
6.50 The cost of R&R works and compensation for land will be the integral part of
total project cost. This cost should be ascertained as early and possible and adequate
financial resources must be earmarked for R&R.
6.1.7.13 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
Project Implementing Level

6.51 The Municipal Commissioner will be overall responsible for the social &
environmental components. He/She will designate a suitable officer at the ULB level to
undertake the tasks involved. Staff from the PHED, the town planning and revenue
departments and community organizers will support this officer. An Environmental &
Social Committee (ESMC) will be constituted at the ULB level with the Municipal
Commissioner as Chairman to oversee proper implementation. This would include
officials from various departments as well as NGO/CSO representative.
Project Management Level

6.52 The Municipal Strengthening Unit (MSU) of CDMA will assist the local bodies in
preparing sub-projects with necessary social and environmental safeguards in line with
USSF. The S&E Manager at MSU will screen each sub-project proposal submitted for
funding to verify whether the proposed project adheres to social and environment
safeguards specified under USSF.
6.1.7.14 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL
6.53 Grievances at the local level can be made at the complaint cell formed at ULB
level. This would be forwarded to the S&E Officer for necessary action. He should
submit his decision in writing to the ESMC, within a stipulated time period. If the
48
aggrieved PAP is not satisfied with this decision, appeal could be made to the ESMC. If
the grievance persists, appeal can be made to the Grievance Redressal Bodies constituted
at the District and State Levels, which would recommend and facilitate the redressal of
these grievances.
6.1.7.15 MONITORING AND EVALUATION
6.54 Concurrent monitoring of RAP implementation will be carried out through the
Third Party Quality Audit consultants and end term impact evaluation will be carried out
wherever major impacts on PAP are involved to assess the changes in the living standards
and take remedial measures, if necessary, to realize the objectives of resettlement.

6.2 URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD FRAMEWORK
6.2.1 OBJECTIVES
6.55 The primary objective of the Urban Environmental Safeguard Framework (UESF) for the
Andhra Pradesh Municipal Development Project (APMDP) is to ensure that the Project
contributes to sustainable development by ensuring a cleaner, safer and healthier environment in
urban Andhra Pradesh. The Framework aims to protect air, water and land environments;
conserve and safeguard environmentally sensitive areas like cultural properties and heritage
structures, urban reserve forest and natural habitat areas and areas under coastal regulation zone.
The Framework envisages strong local commitment for environmental protection and
management in every development activity related to infrastructure and reform intervention
under the APMD Project.
6.2.2 PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTING THE

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
6.56 The following principles will guide the implementation of Urban Environmental
Safeguard Framework (UESF).
 All the sub project investments in the Municipality/Municipal Corporation shall be in

compliance with the environmental framework.
 The sub project investments shall be categorized as per the environmental screening
framework, before they are grounded.
 All the sub projects categorized, as environmentally sensitive shall make sure that they
undergo environmental assessment before they are grounded.
 The sub projects shall be grounded and implemented considering the environmental
management plan, mitigation measures and outcomes of environmental assessments as
may be required.
 The municipality shall make sure that all the sub project investments proposed in the
environmentally sensitive zones (location of the sub project) will undergo detailed
environmental assessment.
 Environmental safeguard policies shall be followed at all the stages of a sub project.
6.2.3 APPLICABLE SAFEGUARD POLICIES
6.2.3.1 APPLICABILITY OF POLICIES, LEGISLATION AND ACTS
6.57 APMDP shall undertake sub project investments within the purview of Indian laws, and
in consideration of the obligations of regulatory and funding agencies. In India, the civic
infrastructure investments are not subjected to environmental clearance, as on date, except for
obligations under Hazardous Waste Act, where the sub-project investments are above Rs. 50
crores. In addition to these, the sub-projects will also consider World Bank Operational Policy
(O.P) 4.01 where they are subjected to environmental analysis leading to Environmental
Management Plan (EMP). Apart from OP.4.01, which is applicable to the project, OP 4.04 & OP
4.11 may also apply to certain components of projects as well as OP 4.36 on forestry, OP 4.09 on
46
pest management, (use of pesticides for control of vector borne diseases, especially in slums) and
OPN 11.03 on cultural property. The following are the mandatory requirements for the project in
Andhra Pradesh, where the following clearances need to be obtained before initiating the
projects.
6.2.3.2 FOREST CLEARANCE UNDER THE FOREST (CONSERVATION) ACT, 1980
6.58 Clearance has to be obtained from the forest department and Ministry of Environment
and Forest (MoEF), if any proposed sub-project intervenes with urban forest/reserved forest area.
If cutting of trees is not involved or acquisition of forest area is less than 5 ha, the regional MoEF
will give the clearance. If acquisition is more than 5 ha but less than 20 Ha regional MoEF,
clearance may be obtained on the recommendations of the state advisory committee and
concerned central minister. If the acquisition is more than 20 Ha, MoEF, GOI, will give the
clearance.
6.2.3.3 MAINTENANCE OF AMBIENT NOISE LEVELS
6.59 As per the Environment (Protection) Act (EA) 1986, ambient noise levels are to be
maintained as stipulated by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for different categories
of areas like, commercial, residential and silence zones, etc., during sub-project construction and
operation.
6.2.3.4 FILING WITH STATE POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
6.60 All the sub projects that are categorized as EA and EB should undergo detailed and
limited environmental assessments respectively. All these sub projects will be brought to the
notice of respective the State Pollution Control Board for its clearance, if required, as per PCB
rules.
6.2.3.5 PERMISSION FOR CUTTING OF TREES
6.61 As per Section 28 of the Andhra Pradesh, Water, Land and Trees Act, 2002, clearance
and written permission from Municipal Council/Municipal Commissioner is needed for cutting
trees/tree branches while providing public utility services or developing infrastructure.
6.2.3.6 DEVELOPMENT IN COASTAL REGULATION ZONE
6.62 The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, 1991, regulates the developmental
activity within 500 m of High Tide Line (HTL) of the landward side.
6.2.3.7 PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE
6.63 The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, enables the people to access legal aid to claim
compensation in the event of an accident occurred while handling any hazardous substance. So
insurance needs to be taken up by the project implementing agencies or contractors.
47
6.64 The project proposes to construct town wide infrastructure in the urban areas, where the
investments intervene with various other infrastructure already in place. In such areas the project
implementing agency will ensure the following clearances before initiating the works.
 Clearance from Roads and Buildings Department for cutting roads.

 Permission for breaking or shifting of public utilities like sewer lines or water pipe lines
from Water Supply and Sewerage Boards.
 Permission and clearance from electricity board for shifting/ moving of streetlights and
transformers during widening of roads or construction of fly over or pedestrian ways or
any other likely sub projects.
6.2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
6.65 The environmental impacts due to the sub projects would vary by location, the type and
size of the sub-project and, thus, could be at different levels. The activities like construction;
operation and maintenance of the sub-project investments can trigger negative impacts, and
hence adequate mitigation measures must be put in place. The potential impacts of sub-project
investments could be in the form of:
6.2.4.1 MAJOR IMPACTS
 Air pollution
 Noise pollution
 Change in Land use
 Loss of vegetation
 Loss of human habitations and involuntary resettlement.
 Contamination of soil and water - due to change in land use and flooding patterns
 Impact on cultural / heritage resources
 Disturbance to Natural Habitat
6.2.4.2 MINOR IMPACTS
 Disturbance to soil and natural drainage

 Disturbance to movement of traffic
 Disturbance from dust
 Change in flooding patterns
6.2.5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
6.66 Analysis of alternatives would be done for those sub-projects for which the EA report
informs severe social or environmental impacts and suggests that the sub-project cannot be taken
up.
48
6.2.6 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)
6.67 The EMP should be formulated based on baseline environmental studies and public
consultations. The EMP provides the link between the potential impacts and the required
mitigation measures. The potential impacts and mitigation measures required during planning,
construction, operation and maintenance of the sub-projects are presented in the EMP. To
strengthen the implementation of EMP a sub-project specific checklist may be prepared for the
monitoring of the implementation of mitigation measures. The environmental monitoring plan
provided with this framework may be referred for the investment specific applicability.
6.2.7 PUBLIC CONSULTATION FOR THE SUB-PROJECTS
6.68 As discussed in the Information and Consultation Strategies, public consultations at

different stages of the sub-project will be conducted. This would not only ensure effective
participatory planning but also inform mitigation measures in the EMP.
6.2.8 CULTURAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN
6.69 All the sub project investments that intervene with cultural properties shall be categorized
as “EA” - that are environmentally sensitive and have severe adverse environmental/cultural
impacts - and should undergo a Detailed Environmental Assessment that includes a Cultural
Property Management Plan.
6.2.8.1 DEFINITION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY
6.70 The term Cultural Property refers to “the sites and monuments / constructions with
archeological (prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, and unique natural values”.
6.71 Cultural properties are heritage structures that reflect the history of a region and cultural
practices of the people. They encompass the remains of previous human inhabitants (for
example, middens, shrines, and battlegrounds) and unique natural environmental features such as
canyons and waterfalls. Most importantly, they are the sources of historical and scientific
information. Since the rapid loss of cultural property is irreversible, it is to be mandated to
protect the cultural properties.
6.2.8.2 CULTURAL PROPERTY POLICY GUIDELINES
6.72 The principal policy guideline of the Project is to protect and conserve the Cultural
Properties. It would aim to avoid the elimination, demolition or damage to any cultural property.
1. Any project or sub-project that could considerably damage or mandates demolition of any
cultural property should not be sanctioned for commissioning.
2. If any sub-project investment intervenes with the damage to cultural property, which is
not minor, then the project-implementing agency should work out alternatives to the
proposed investment.
49
3. If the sub-project investment is in great favor and may generate major benefits to the
people, and if it poses minimum damage to any cultural property, and if there is no other
alternative to the proposed investment, justified by the competent authorities, then
 People‟s opinion survey, public consultation and focused group discussions with
the sub-project affected people surrounding the cultural property to be conducted
 The Archeological department should be consulted for its active role and
clearance of the sub-project
 Architects/conservation specialists should be involved for possible alternatives
that eliminates/mitigates the damage to the cultural property.
4. In cases where the investment can neither be relocated nor cancelled, and which is of
great benefit to the society, the cultural structures may be restored, relocated, preserved
on alternate sites in consultation with the conservationists, archeologists and architects.
5. The implementing and monitoring institution should be strengthened and trained to be
entrusted with safeguarding cultural properties.
6. The finances for the cultural property management should be directly part of the scope of
the project.
6.2.9 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION
6.73 A strong organizational structure, systems and the trained and committed staff are the
pre-requisites to realize the objectives of EMP. In recognition of this, the institutional
arrangements have been discussed in the Chapter – I of this document.
6.2.10 CONCLUSION
6.74 The SEAMF discussed above has been prepared from the various consultations, focus
group discussions, stakeholder consultations and sub-project assessments. This Framework was
subsequently tested in three towns in AP to verify its applicability on sub-projects. The detailed
assessments of the sub-projects are given as Annexure – XIV.

ANNEXURE VIII
Guidelines for Undertaking an Environmental Assessment
1. All the „EA‟ categorized sub-projects must and should undergo the “Detailed
Environmental Assessment” as per the below mentioned guidelines.
2. If the sub-project is categorized „EA‟ because it intervenes an environmentally sensitive
location/site/structure, the assessment may be limited to that area (sensitive location).
ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE DATA
3. Environmental baseline data of the proposed sub-project intervention area to be

collected. Format for Data Collection may be referred for procuring the baseline
information.
4. Environmental baseline information needs to be collected for areas falling outside the
sub-project intervention area if they are likely to face adverse environmental impacts
due to the sub-project intervention.
5. As part of the data collection, required maps (topographical/contour/infrastructure
service lines/habitat cover of flora and fauna/environmental sensitive locations, etc.)
that may likely to be affected due to sub-project intervention should be prepared for
detailed assessment.
6. Public consultations in the sub-project intervention area with key stakeholders should be
used to highlight the problems faced and likely impacts due to the sub-project
intervention.
7. The data should also consist of
 The size of the sub-project in terms of budget, area, estimated time of completion
 The location of the sub-project and its intervention with environmentally sensitive
locations
 Number of beneficiaries and affected persons/families
 Present infrastructure facilities like water distribution, sewage, storm water drains,
street lights etc. and their maximum carrying capacities (quantity/volume) that
would be affected due to sub-project intervention.
REFER TO ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONS AND POLICIES
8. Environmental Legislations and Policies may be referred to assess compatibility with the
environmental legislative and policy framework. For example, intervention of sub-
project alignment with the coastal regulation area is within the framework of CRZ
regulations of 1991.
IDENTIFYING THE ADVERSE IMPACTS
9. Impacts can be identified by comparing the existing baseline and various components of
the proposed sub-project like alignment, size, disturbance to existing civic services etc.
10. Overlay the forecasted adverse impacts due to the proposed sub-project on the existing
baseline. A graph with environmental parameters on X-axis and existing and forecasted
impacts on the Y-axis is suggested. This will bring to light quantitatively and
qualitatively, the intensity and area of impact.
11. In addition, Public consultations may inform the implementing agency, whether all the
impacts have been accounted for, as well as provide a bottom-up perspective on
environmental hazards and management.
92
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
12. All the available alternatives (including the proposed alternative) for the
alignments/locations/technology with respect to environmental impacts may be
identified and analyzed to address the potential negative impacts. No project alternative
(what would be the scenario of existing environmental baseline, projected in to future, if
the project is not taken up) should also be analyzed.
SUGGESTIVE / MITIGATIVE MEASURES
13. Environmental Management Plan and Monitoring Plan may be referred to follow the
suggestive measures/mitigative measures for the impacts identified.
14. Finalize the measures to be taken for reducing/mitigating the adverse impacts on air,
water, land, flora & fauna. Ensure that the measures proposed pertain not only to the
period of implementation of the sub-project but also for subsequent operation &
maintenance phase.
DETAILED PROJECT REPORT (DPR)

The Detailed Project Report that is prepared for every sub-project for approval from MSU
and PCB should include a separate environmental management and monitoring plans for
the sub-project if the sub-project is categorized as `EA‟ or `EB‟.

NEED FOR NGO INVOLVEMENT
The role of the communities is crucial in their resettlement and rehabilitation and this
requires deft and expert handling of community participation. An ad hoc and
unorganized arrangement may lead to complications and may delay many processes.
Therefore, there is a need to involve NGOs in the implementation of RAP. An NGO acts
as a bridge between project authorities and the affected communities. The NGOs will be
selected by ESMU.
Steps in Selection of NGO
 Preparation of NGO matrix soliciting basic information about the NGO's field of
experience, years of working in the area, manpower status etc. A copy of the
NGO matrix is attached

ANNEXURE – XIII
Guidelines for preparation of a Tribal Development Plan (TDP)
The identities, cultures, lands and resources of tribal groups are uniquely intertwined
and vulnerable to changes caused by development programmes. Because of this
uniqueness and cohesiveness, sub-projects that include tribal regions, should ensure that
the tribal groups are not disadvantaged by these development interventions and the
proposed mitigation measures/benefits are culturally compatible. This annexure
provide a set of guidelines for addressing impacts on tribal population through the
preparation of a TDP.
The Socio-Economic Survey/Enumeration
The socio-economic survey/enumeration forms the basis for preparation of a TDP,

which attempts to identify and also assess possible adverse impacts (positive or
negative) on distinctive cultural/social/economic ways of life of tribal communities. The
TDP document should present the number of tribal groups, their baseline socio
economic and cultural data, the status of, tribes whether they are the sole group or a
small minority and the presence or absence of land tenure issues etc. It would also
attempt to, establish the following distinctive characteristics of the tribes depending on
the relevance and need:
 A close attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources

 Self-identification and identification by others as members of a distinct cultural
group
 An indigenous language, often different from the national language
 Presence of customary social and political institutions
Consultation and Participation

While observing all the cardinal principles of consultation and participation, specific
measures will be followed to ensure the use of culturally appropriate consultation
methods that allow tribal groups to express their views and preferences. The
consultations aim at:
 Inform the tribal groups of their rights

 Inform about potential impacts of sub-project on their
livelihoods/environment/resources
 Consult and involve them in decision making and planning from sub-project
inception
 Provided income/livelihood opportunities during and after the completion of
the sub-project
Preparation of a TDP
A TDP will be prepared to ensure that there are no significant or adverse negative
impacts on the distinctive cultural or economic ways of life of tribal people. It presents
strategies for addressing issues pertaining to tribal groups and will be based on
116
informed participation of the tribal people affected. Wherever adverse impacts on the
tribal people are anticipated, the socio-economic survey/enumeration would help in
determining impacts and also help in inclusion of measures to avoid and mitigate harm
to them. The TDP primarily intends to achieve the following objectives:
 To ensure that tribal groups are afforded respect for their dignity and cultural
uniqueness in the development process
 To ensure that they do not suffer from adverse effects
 To ensure that they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits
 To ensure benefits from prior consultation and informed participation
Suggested guidelines of preparation of a TDP

A. Legal Framework
1. Establish the legal status of the tribal people/groups identified under the sub-project
2. Assess the ability of such groups to access and to effectively use the legal system to
defend their rights with particular attention to their rights, develop lands that they occupy,
protection against illegal intruders, and to have access to natural resources
B. Baseline Data
1. Include accurate, up-to-date maps and photographs of the sub-project area showing the
areas inhabited by tribal people
2. Analyze the social structure and income sources of the population
3. Provide Inventories of the resources that tribal people use and technical data on their
production systems
4. Capture the full range of production and marketing activities in which tribal people are
engaged.
C. Land Tenure
1. Establish legal recognition of the customary or traditional land tenure systems of tribal
people.
2. Where the traditional lands of indigenous peoples have been brought by law into the
domain of the state and where it is inappropriate to convert traditional rights into those of
legal ownership, alternative arrangements should be implemented to grant long-term,
renewable rights of custodianship and use to indigenous peoples.
D. Strategy for Local Participation
1. Devise mechanisms for participation by tribal people in decision making throughout sub-
project planning, implementation, and evaluation.
2. Provide effective channels for communicating local preferences, representation, foolproof
methods to guarantee full local-level participation.
E. Mitigation Activities
1. Prepare detailed descriptions for appraisal of proposed services as education, training,
health, credit, and legal assistance.
2. Technical descriptions should be included for the planned investments in productive
infrastructure. Ensure that plans that draw upon indigenous knowledge are used as they
succeed better than those that are entirely new principles and institutions.
F. Institutional Capacity
1. Assess the capacity of the institutions in place for implementation based on (i) availability
of funds for investments and field operations; (ii) adequacy of experienced professional
staff; (iii) ability of indigenous peoples' own organizations, local administration authorities,
and local NGOs to interact with specialized government institutions; (iv) ability of the
executing agency to mobilize other agencies involved in the plan's implementation; and
(v) adequacy of field presence
G. Implementation Schedule
1. Include an implementation schedule with benchmarks by which progress can be
measured at appropriate intervals.
117
H. Monitoring and Evaluation

1. Suggest Independent monitoring institutions/officials. Explore the possibility of finding
tribal peoples’ own organizations for sub-project management
2. Prepare monitoring reporting formats for assessing sub-project implementation
I. Cost Estimates and Financing
1. Prepare a plan which detailed cost estimates for planned activities and investments
2. The estimates should be broken down into unit costs linked to the financing plan
118
ANNEXURE – XIV
TESTING OF SEAMF ON SUB-PROJECTS
Introduction
To test the applicability and usability of the Social and Environmental Assessment
Management Framework (SEAMF) prepared under the APMDP, three towns across the
three regions of Andhra Pradesh (prior to bifurcation) were selected. A list of sub-
project investments was then selected from each of these towns to test the SEAM
Framework. The sub-projects selected were part of the list of investments detailed in the
Critical Infrastructural Investment Plan (CIIP) proposals prepared under APUSP.
For better applicability of the SEAM and also to enhance and strengthen the plans and
strategies mentioned within it, it was felt that the towns selected for testing should
constitute both Class – I and Class – II towns. Since the project will be applicable to all
the towns in the state, selection of towns across different town classes would ensure
proper representation. The sub-project investments for the Class – I towns were selected
from the CIIP documents prepared by the municipalities under the APUSP project. In
the case of Class - II towns, since there are no CIIP, the sub-projects selected included the
general proposals prepared by them based on their needs. This selection was done with
the help of municipal staff and the councilors. Care was also taken to ensure that the
sub-projects selected were across various investment interventions like water supply,
drainage, roads etc.
The study mandate specified that the sub-projects to be selected and tested should be
part of the first year investments of that ULB if the loan is sanctioned under APMDP.
Since most of the sub-projects proposals prepared for the first year were low-cost, low-
investment and smaller in their magnitude, it was decided by the study team that testing
all the components in the SEAMF will not yield good results in terms of checking its
applicability. In other words the smaller projects may not trigger strong adverse social
or environmental issues on which the plans and strategies can be checked. In view of
this, the selection of sub-projects was not restricted to first year sub-projects
Sample Towns
Andhra Pradesh state (prior to bifurcation) is constituted of three geographical

regions, Telangana, Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema. The three regions have specific
geographical characteristics, in terms of topography, water resources, ground water
sources, forest cover, climate, rainfall etc. Their geographical condition has a bearing on
the urban development of the regions and towns within that region. Due to this there
may be specific problems to each region and hence the priority of the infrastructural
investments is different for each region. For this purpose the selection of towns for
testing the SEAMF was also done in different regions.
The selection of towns on the other hand was also influenced by the difference in the
capacities of the towns. The existing capacities of class I towns is different from that of
119
class II & III towns, for the implementation of the proposed project, with a bearing on
social and environmental management and monitoring, capturing this difference
between them was important to capture.
Based on these criteria the study team has selected two Class – I towns namely,
Qutbullapur and Kakinada and one Class – II town namely, Madanapalle for testing the
SEAMF. This was to capture the region specific infrastructure requirements and also
study the capacities of both class I and class II towns. The table below gives the towns
selected for the testing and the sub-projects selected.

Testing of SEAMF – The Process
Once the study team visited the town, one of the first tasks undertaken was to explain in
detail to the ULB officials the purpose of the visit to the selected towns and also
introduce the project in detail to them. Once this was done a meeting with the ULB
officials was organized to brief them on the various components of the SEAMF. All the
key ULB staff like the Commissioner, Municipal engineer and his support staff, Health
Officer and his support staff, Town Planning Officers and their support staff and
120
Revenue staff were invited to this meeting. The drafts of the SEAMF and the Social and
Environmental manuals were distributed so that the ULB staff could go through them.
After the initial meeting and distribution of the SEAMF and Manuals to the officials a
second meeting was organized along with the municipal chairman and the councilors
for the selection of the sub-projects for testing. This meeting was also important to
organize public consultations on the testing.
The testing of the sub-project was undertaken with the help of the ULB officials and the
Municipal Councilors. The testing process was divided into three major activities,
namely,
1. Focus Group Discussion with the key ULB staff and Municipal Council
2. Focus Group Discussions and consultations with the people
3. Public Consultations
All the sub-project sites were visited and the components under the SEAMF were tested
on the field. Focus group discussions were also conducted with various groups,
including women to brief them about APMDP, the SEAMF and how they can participate
in the whole process. Consultation, monitoring and management strategies were
discussed with the people along with the ULB officials. A majority of the consultation
activity was conducted by the ULB staff from the engineering, town planning and the
health sections. The study team played the role of a facilitator and the proceedings were
recorded by them.
The findings of these sub-project consultations and discussions with the ULB officials
were presented in the public consultation organized on the final day of the visit to the
municipality. The public consultation was attended by various officials and interested
groups like the councilors, Municipal chairman, ULB staff, NGOs, SHG members,
Community based organizations and other key stakeholders.
The major components of SEAMF that were tested include the following.
1. CMAPP process
2. Institutional Arrangements
3. Screening and Assessments for Social and Environmental Components
4. Social and Environmental Capacity-building Action Plan (SECAP)
5. Information and Consultation Strategy (ICS)
6. Social and Environmental Management Plans
7. Social and Environmental Monitoring Plans
8. Social and Environmental Safeguard Policies
9. Social and Environmental Regulatory Framework
121
Findings
Some of the key finding of testing the components of the framework that have been
incremental in drafting the final SEA and the SEAMF reports are presented below. The
key findings are discussed under each component of the SEAMF tested.
CMAPP process
The CMAPP process initiated under APUSP project has resulted in building excellent
capacities in Class – I towns of Andhra Pradesh in terms of public consultation and
information dissemination at the town level. It has build community groups; self help
groups, and initiated various NGOs to participate in the process. But there are a few
shortcomings of this process.
 Though the CMAPP Process is a comprehensive participative and transparent

process, it is found that there are still various sections of the community who feel
that they have not been a part of it. They suggested that the number of micro-
level consultations have to be increased to increase the reach of the consultation
process.
 The CMAPP process has been used to identify probable sub-project investments
at a town level for a period of 5 to 7 years. For this purpose town-level
committees have been formed and their representation is at a town level. The
plans and strategies suggested and prepared by these committees are not trickled
down to the general community. Due to this a considerable number of people
are not informed about the initiatives undertaken in a CMAPP process.
 The prioritization process followed for selection of sub-projects needs to be
further developed on the basis of social and environmental parameters. It was
found that issues pertaining to resettlement and rehabilitation are not fully
covered when prioritizing the sub-projects. The sub-projects have also been
prioritized on the basis of the cost incurred, extent of land acquisition involved,
environmental problems etc. Along with these parameters a detailed need
assessment could also help in selecting the sub-project for the development of the
town.
 The environmental appraisal of sub-project investments of CIIP through the
CMAPP process is at a very premature level. This has to be strengthened to the
framework standards of APMD project.
Capacity Building Issues
Capacity building issue is the most important component of the SEAMF that received a
lot of attention from the municipal staff as well as the community. There are various
issues that come out during the discussions at the three ULBs.
122
 The APUSP project has achieved a commendable success in all the Class – I
towns, wherein the capacities of the municipal staff, municipal council and the
community have been built in view of social and environmental issues. The
APUSP project has enhanced capacities in community participation,
transparency, monitoring, management etc. But the testing shows that capacities
need to be further enhanced. Secondly, Class–II towns have much weaker
capacity as compared to the Class – I towns and would, therefore, require
investment in capacity building.
 The ULB staff has mentioned that currently most of the assessments for social
and environmental components in a sub-project are being outsourced to external
consultants and institutions. Especially with regard to the technical and
designing aspects of the project they need training so that internally the
capacities are built. It is also suggested that instead of external consultants, it
would be desirable to recruit experts to work temporarily for the project but as
municipal staff. This would enable capacity building of the engineering and
town planning staff in the ULB.
 Issues pertaining to resettlement and rehabilitation, though not unknown to the
ULB staff needs more attention. It is found that the processes followed to
address these R&R issues are not systematic in the ULBs. The staff needs to be
trained on the various processes involved in R&R and also in preparing various
plans and strategies associated with R&R. Preparation of the Resettlement
Action Plan, Tribal Dvelopment Plan, and Conducting Basseline and census
survey for the PAPs, Land Acquisition Assessment etc., are some of the
components that the ULB staff needs to be trained. There is a severe lack of
capacities on these issues, especially in the case of Class – II towns.
 The CMAPP process has considerably exposed the ULB staff to the consultation
processes. It is found that these consultation processes though highly
participatory take place at a town level. The staff is found to be lacking in
conducting on-site consultations. The ULB staff has also suggested that they
should be further exposed to PRA techniques and other tools for conducting
consultation.
 Capacity building in monitoring, management, and operations for handling
social and environmental issues need attention when training the ULB staff.
 The proposed institutional arrangements at the ULB level is basically redefining
and devolving additional responsibilities to the existing staff. The institutional
arrangements suggested in the SEA and the SEAMF have been appreciated with
some changes. The municipal staff has also suggested that the social components
in a sub-project will be handled by the town planning and the health section of
the municipality and the engineering and the revenue departments will handle
the environmental components.
 The community, especially the SHGs and CBOs have stated that they also should
be provided with training and suggested that they could help the ULB in the
planning, management, monitoring and the maintenance of the sub-projects.
The SECAP addresses the issues as to how the capacities of the people have to be
built.
 Since there is no APUSP or any other programme that concentrates on capacity
building and consultations in Class – II towns, they have to trained more and
123
more concentration should be on encouraging study tours for the staff of the
class – II towns for exposing them to new ideas.
 Their understanding and knowledge of environmental concepts and issues like
Environmental assessment of sub-projects, Conducting and recording public
consultations with an environmental view, Managing and monitoring of
environmental issues in a sub-project intervention, Knowledge of policy and
regulatory framework etc are very important. The ULBs have to enormously
improve their capacities in all the above said issues. The earlier capacity building
action plan has been revised as per the observations made during testing,
elaborating training and outsourcing issues.
 ULB staff needs to be more informed about the various legislations n policies that
could have a bearing on the sub-projects especially those pertaining to R&R and
environment issues.
Information and Consultation Strategy
The information and consultation strategy that was suggested in the SEAMF has been
tested and the ULB staff has appreciated the plan. Some of the issues that have come up
with regard to the consultation strategy are as follows.
 The ULB staff and the councilor though are good at discussions and conducting
meetings and consultations in an office atmosphere are failing to do the same at
the field. Most of them have been unable to formulate questions and answers in a
large crowd. Management of large crowds and consultations at the field-level
are important in planning measures under any sub-project. Training in this
direction on participation and tools and techniques of PRA assumes high
priority.
 Strategies of dissemination of information are absent. The staff should be trained
in this direction to see that they undertake the task of publicizing and
dissemination in a more planned way to reach the garget groups.
 The staff should also be trained as to when a consultation has to be conducted.
There may be various levels and types and times when consultations have to be
conducted. In other words there has to be a plan for consultations for the benefit
of the project staff to see that the project is implemented in a smooth way.
 The staff should also be planned for consulting specific consultations like,
consultations with cultural groups, people on cultural properties, women,
scheduled castes etc. These focus group discussions will also help in reducing
any problems that may arise in the sub-project and also mitigating and
addressing problems of the specific groups under examination.
 Finally the capacity for conducting, planning and implementing consultations
has to be prepared incorporated.
Screening and assessments for social and environmental components
 The ULB officials have to be trained in using the screening framework prepared
to screen and categorize sub-projects socially and/or environmentally.
124
 It was found that the ULB staff have not been exposed to any categorization of
sub-projects. For this purpose various formats have been prepared or assessing
all the sub-project falling in various categories.
 Some of the major projects may be outsourced to consultants as per the existing
capacities of the ULB. For this purpose the ULBs need to have capacities to
manage the consultants. Such capacities will need to be developed.
Social and Environmental Management and Monitoring and Operations
 The issue with regard to the management and monitoring of the social and
environmental issues in the sub-project need more importance than they are
being given now in the towns. Sub-project can become more successful if the
people and the community is involved into the project monitoring and
management.
 After consultations with the ULB staff it was noted that project based managing
and monitoring is rarely done. But after the deliberations the ULBs agreed that
the Town Planning and the revenue sections should handle social issues and the
Engineering and Health section should handle environmental issues.
 Identification of impact and exposure to various types of PAPS and other issues
was clearly discussed with the ULB staff. Earlier the staffs were not fully
exposed to these issues.
 The social safeguards suggested in the SEAMF have been reviewed by the staff at
the municipality and the also by various senior officials in MAUD. After the
review they observed that the entitlement matrix for handling resettlement and
rehabilitation issues of various impacts has to be changed. Issues with regard to
squatters, encroachers, tenants etc., were discussed in detail and was observed
that the entitlements suggested are out of the existing legal framework and that
new entitlements be prepared for them. For this purpose it was prescribed that
the existing Government Orders (GOs), case studies of similar sub-projects
interventions across the state be reviewed so that they can act as references for
suggesting entitlements for squatters and encroachers under APMDP. The box
above gives a brief note on the case studies reviewed for this purpose.
 The issues with regard to conducting the social and environmental assessment
etc. are always given to the external consultants. However, the staff expressed
their interest in conducting assessments themselves, provided they are equipped
with proper training and knowledge.
 One of the drawbacks in two out of three towns is that they have been unable to
take the people into the monitoring and management activity during the
construction of infrastructure in the town. If this is done the project staff can be
more transparent with the people and this can build social capital. To some
extent, this has been done by the Qutbullapur municipality.
 Capacity building is also needed in the ULBs with regard to monitoring and
managing R&R issues. Necessary training may be imparted to the officials in
this regard.
 During the testing it was possible to identify the key officials who would be
undertaking the social and environmental tasks respectively while implementing
the sub-projects. Undertaking the management and monitoring of sub-project by
125
the Deputy Engineers and the Municipal Engineer has been identified as the best
possible alternative for better implementation.
 Community participation, review meetings within the ULB staff and other
consultation only restricted to the Class – I towns. Class – II towns should be
guided through this process to achieve sustainability of the sub-projects.
BOX – CASE STUDIES

Case Study-I: Vijayawada City
Review of procedures followed to rehabilitate squatters and encroachers in slum clearance activities in
Vijayawada Municipal Corporation show that around 8000 families have been displaced. Among them
around 2000 families have already been rehabilitated. Some of the important issues that were observed in
this case are as follows.
 Sensitization classes and meetings with the community to explain the rehabilitation package
 Distribution of pamphlets with reasons for slum clearance and its advantages and disadvantages
 All the 8000 families were provided with a house site of size 40’X10’
 Development of infrastructure like drainage, drinking water, streetlights in the resettlement colony
 Provision of housing loan to the families displaced to a tune of 25,000. (Till date2500 families have been
provided with the loan)
 One youth from each family was trained under self-employment scheme
Case study-II: Visakhapatnam City
The slum clearance and housing programme in Visakhapatnam was implemented in about 251 slums and
around 60,000 families have been displaced. Around 6700 permanent houses are being constructed for
them under the VAMBAY scheme and eligible PAPs are being provided with housing sites according to the
availability of land. Some of the important findings of the review of this case study are as follows.
 Formation of a resettlement and rehabilitation committee with the involvement of beneficiaries
 Provision of transit allowance for each family to a tune of Rs.1000
 Provision of house sites to eligible candidates and families
 Provision of contingency fund to all families to the tune of Rs.1000
 The house constructed on 1+3 pattern where one structure will accommodate 3 families
 Allotment of house are made on the basis of mutual consent or by seniority and age of the beneficiary
Case study – III: Hyderabad City
Slum clearance activities were carried out in a number of sums in Hyderabad. There was no specific policy
or document to redress Resettlement and rehabilitation issues, but most of the issues were addressed on a
case-by-case basis after proper consultations with the people. Most of the people displaced were relocated
on government lands and house sites or houses were provided or constructed for them. No additional
allowances were provided.

2. Workshop on Environmental and Social Safeguards monitoring & Contractual

Provisions:
Another Workshop has been conducted at Hyderabad in December, 2013 on

Environmental and Social safeguards for all the Engineering staff of ULBs for
familiarizing them with
 Environmental & Social impacts and mitigation measures

 Contractual provisions for Environmental and Social safeguards
 Process for Implementation of EMPs and RAPs
 Occupation health and safety aspects
 Enforcement of penal provisions for non compliance of EMP provisions.
3. In addition to the above , TPQA has been conducting training programmes

regularly for ULB officials and staff of contracting agencies on the above aspect to
make field level officers familiar with the above aspects and corresponding contractual
provisions for effective implementation of EMPs and RAPs.
Gaps Identified in Capacity Building: In spite of regular trainings conducted by

MSU and TPQA, frequent replacement of ULB personnel trained for implementation of
EMPs and RAPs due to transfers by Government necessitates regular monitoring of
capacities by MSU. Necessary training for effective implementation of EMPs and RAPs
to newly posted officers shall be provided promptly.
