 APPE|{DIX:2
Terrns of Reference (ToR) for $ocial NGO {$NGO} Responsible for Planning and
lmplementation of Social Development Plan (SDP)

A. PIIRPOSE OF THE TOR

Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) intends to hire a national NGO experienced in the
management of planning and implementation of social development programs relating to livelihoods,
gender and public health services facilitation. The contributions of the NGO (hereinafter refered to as
Social NGO or SNGO) are sought to coordinate the implementation of the Social Development Program
(SDP) under the River Bank Improvement Project (RMIP). The SDP is an integrated program aiming to
improve livelihoods, address the gender variables of development and expand and improve the protection
of public health. The TOR includes guideline to plan, program, implement and evaluate the activities for
achieving the objectives of the SDP. The SDP is a 4.50 year program of the RMIP to be delivered in
partnership with local NGOs and local administration in specific areas of social development.

To become eligible for undertaking these project activities, the NGO must have a proven capacity to work
on expanding livelihood resources and options, address gender variables equitably, and must possess
professional competence on the organization and effective delivery of public health services to intended
beneficiaries. An imporlant capability feature ofthe SNGOs who candidate forthis work is the professional
capability to measure quantitative and qualitative changes in the total income and livelihood levels of the
affected and resettled populations (e.g. at least one professionally trained micro economist with a master's
degree in economics). The respective NGO must be duly registered with the NGO Affairs Bureau or the
Ministry of Social Welfare, Government of Bangladesh.

More specifically, the interested national NGOs must have experience in: (i) income and livelihood
restoration activities under the circumstances of involuntary resettlement, (ii) preparing, implementing
successfully, and measuring the effects of income and livelihood restoration plans, , especially focused on
the productive use of public lands; (iii) implementation of livelihood development programs for destitute
section of the society in rural Bangladesh, harmed by land loss to floods and erosion; (iv) understanding
and overcoming gender related difficulties met by programs in rural communities; (v) implementing public
health interventions in rural communities exposed frequently to flooding and land erosion and related
diseases; and (vi) running successful haining programs that increase income generating skills and the
management of household needs, organizing such training ideally in partnership with the public sector.

Proposals for delivering such selices will be invited from the short-listed NGOs.

B. TIIE PRO.IECT'S STRUCTI-IRE, OBJECTIVES AND ITS IMPACTS

The proposed project (RMIP-1) is the first phase of the three phase RMIP, with each phase spanning about
five years. Phase 1 will include, among others, the following two components'. "Component A: "The
Rehabilitation and Improvement of the Brahmaputra River Embankment Scheme" and "Component B:
"The Implementation of Social and Environmental Management Plans". In turn, Component B consists of:
(a) Resettlement Action Plan (RAP); (b) Social Development Plan (SDP); and (c) Environmental
Management Plan (EMP).

The RAP deals with the land acquisition process, compensation, and the population's displacement and
relocation. The responsibilify for the RAP's successful execution is vested in the Implementation NGO
(INGO). The responsibility for SDP's successful execution is vested in the Social NGO (SNGO). The SDP
has three sub-components:(l) Income and Livelihood Restoration Program (ILRP); (2) GenderAction Plan
(GAP) and (3) Public Health Action Plan (PHAP). The present ToR refers to the execution of the SDP by
the SNGO.

OVERALL OBJECTIVES : The objectives of RMIP are to reduce the curent and future adverse impacts
of flood and erosion along the selected section of the Brahmaputra Right bank Embankment (Central BRE
"priorit5r" reach - from Simla to Hasnarpara, approx. 50 km), increase community resilience to flooding,
sustainably resettle the population inhabiting now the right of way or other-wise exposed to risks, and assist
the relocated population to share in the project's benefits and improve its standards of living above the pre-
project levels.

The Project area covers three sub-districts or upazilas: Kazipur (Sirajganj district), Dhunat and Sariakandi
(Bogra district). The Project , includes the equipment of 15 identified areas for becoming residential sites
for the population to be resettled by the project and will require acquisition of 395 ha of land for civil works
construction.

The World Bank (WB) and the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) will co-finance the Project. An estimate
4334 households will require relocation from the Project right of way. Nearly two-thirds of these affected
families are currently living on the existing embankment. About half of the households to be displaced
expressed their preference for self-relocation into the existing "host" villages and the rest will move to
proj ect-sponsored resettlement sites.

The SDP is primarily dedicated to the project affected (displaced and resettled) persons. However, it also
includes villages and local communities in host areas within 1 km range from the Central BRE to the
countryside and all destitute households on the riverside along the 50km reach. A particular focus of the
SDP will be on the affected embankment settlers, who are poor and vulnerable. Details of the project
impacts are available in the RAP and SDPs.

C. OBJECTIVES OF TIIE SDP

Two key objectives ofthe SDP are to (i) mitigate any negative impacts on livelihoods ofthe project affected
persons, and(ii) support the overall social development of the population in the project area related to their
income and livelihood, gender and public health status. The specific objectives for each of the three-sub
component are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Income and Livelihood Restoration: The overall objective of ILRP is to (i) improve, or at least restore
the income and livelihood level of the project affected population, and (ii) enhance the present income and
livelihood situation of the affected persons and the remaining communities on the old embankment and
2
?
those living along the existing embankments. Besides mitigating the short-term loss of the affected
populations, this livelihood and income restoration plan takes a systematic approach to identify long-term
opportunities and constraints in a particular subsector.

Gender Mainstreaming: The GAP has three specific objectives to achieve in this project. These are to (i)
maximize women's access to the RMIP project benefits including employment; (ii) mitigate harmful
gendered impacts on affected male and female population, especially health and safety; and (iii) build
capacity of BWDB in gender mainstreaming in the remaining phases of the Program as well as in future
project operations.

Public Health: The overarching and primary objective of the PIIAP is to (i) mitigate possible impacts on
public health due to the construction of the embankment for the project-affected populations (PAPs) and
secondarily, to (ii) improve the public health situation related to key health development indicators such as
reduction in disease burden, maternal and neonatal health, HIV/AIDS and STDs for the project beneficiaries
living along the bank line and embankment, as needed.

D. TARGET GROUP BRI{EFICIARTES

The primary focus of the SDP will

be given to the project affected populations in order to foster possible
positive impacts and mitigate negative impacts for them. The target group beneficiaries (TGB) and families
(TGF) of the SDP are the following:

i. Relocated and resettled households: The Priority reach will affect 4334 households who will either
"self-relocate" and/or resettle in project-sponsored resettlement sites along the project alignment from
Simla to Hasnarpara stretching across three upazilas.
ii. Construction workforce: The construction force will mainly be drawn from local communities with a
preference to project affected persons willing to work on the construction site. There will be a vely
limited number of workers from outside the region.
iii. Individuals and households who will experience temporary loss of income due to the civil works:
Businesses and shop owners who will need to relocate or close down operations temporarily due to
civil works.
iv. In-migrant populations: These refer to individuals who are attracted by commercial opportunity and
interact with local residents. Their number is expected to be lirnited as the project is linear along the
bank line and will move with the progress of the construction.

Given the suffering of the population living along the Brahmaputra-Jamuna River due to erosion and
flooding over generations, the RMIP social development plan will take up selected developmental
opportunities and encompass a number of targeted interventions for people living in the project area. Those
proj ect benefi ciaries include :

i. Households remaining on old embankment: Although, they do not live in the right of way of the new
proposed embankment and therefore do not qualifu for resettlement benefits, they live in close vicinity
to these households and require overall development support.
\
+_
ii. Host villages / communities: A large number of the displaced households will self-relocate into
the pre-existing area villages. As such, villages and local communities within a 2-km strip from the
eroding embankment are also included in the Public Health Action Plan (PHAP).

N" SCOPI OF \,VORK AI{D KEY ACTIVITIAS

The SNGO will design social development interventions to be implemented by partnering with local NGOs
selected in consultation with the BWDB. Pafiners of PKSF, members ofNGO forums and community based
organizations having legally representative body will be among the selected partners for each component
or activity. The SNGO will be responsible for planning, designing and implementation oversight of the
SDP covering the following key activities under the three components.

Income and Livelihood Restoration

. Cash assistance to support lost income

r Assistance to re-establish business/enterprises
. Employment in construction site and construction-suppofied sector
r Community managed productive plantation on embankment slopes
e Capacity training in high-value vegetables, livestock, poulhy and fisheries
. Skills training

Gender Mainstreaming

. Women's Participation in Design and Implementation of RMIP

. Employment Opporhmities for women
. Gender-Responsive Resettlement Measures
. Services and Safeguards Against Social and Health Vulnerabilities
o Capacrty Building for Gender Issues Mainskeaming in BWDB

Public Health

r IEC Program on RMlP-related health risks and overall health (e.g. improved hygiene, maternal health)
. Public health staff capacity development on RMlP-related health risks and casualties
o Ensure improved public-health standards in resettlement households (e.g. safe water, sanitation, solar energy supply
and clean cooking stoves)
. Improved public-health standards for HHs remaining on old embankment (e.g. safe water, sanitation and clean
cooking stoves)
o Pesticide poisoning prevention and management
r SBA / Community health worker capacity development
. Road Safety

The area specific social development programs for implementation of ILRP, GAP and PHAP will be developed so as
to fully cover the target groups. Each individual intervention will be implemented with parlnering local NGOs. The
Terms of Reference for partner NGOs will be developed by the SNGO and shared with BWDB and the World Bank
before their mobilization.
F. ASSIGNMENT AND SPECIFIC TASKS
Target group beneficiaries (TGBs) of SDP will be selected from the target group families (TGFs) those are
severely affected by RMIP due to temporary loss of income, displacement or other potential risks for the
purpose of the project. They are indicated for each planned interventions in chapters 2to 4. This represents
a brief summary only (for further details, see Appendix in SDP).

The SNGO will carry out the intended tasks in two phases. The first phase will be to implement all activities
related to mitigating any risk associated with the RMIP construction that must be implemented immediately
before construction can begin such as resettlement (in close collaboration with the INGO), women's
participation in important decisions related to RMIP and health awareness campaigns about RMIP risks.
The second phase will include the implementation of overall social development measures that are unrelated
to the civil works schedule and promote the overall social development in the Project area. The key tasks
include:

i. The SNGO, in close partnership with local NGOs, will also identify capable local NGOs and the
relevant public and private sector entities to implement the SDP.
ii. It will build up the capacity of target group members by promoting their collective self-organization
iii. Review the baseline data on existing livelihood pattern and opportunities, gender and health
assessments.
iv. Together with local partner NGOs, conduct needs assessment and identifr the potential members of
affected families (TGBs) for bringing them under the SDP
v. Organize regional level workshops on livelihood, gender and health to explore wider linkages
vi. Disclosure campaign and information dissemination among the potential TGBs and their community
on the SDPs in the operation area.
vii. Implement the outlined key activities for livelihood, gender mainstreaming and public health
viii.Monitor the implementation progress and the targets as outlined in the SDP Part IV.
ix. Align and be in close contact with all key stakeholders from PMO to INGO, local administration as
well as local NGOs.

Moreover the following activities will also be under the following heads:

a Implementation Mechanism and Arrangements

a Responsibility for implementation. The SNGO and the INGO are the main two organizations on which
the Project relies for the successful execution of the RAP and the SDP. The present ToR strongly
emphasizes their high distinct and joint responsibility in fully accomplishing these two plans which
are integral to the central and core overall objective of the RBIP. Therefore, the two organizations will
need to interact and cooperate closely throughout their work, both at the leadership level and among their
operational field staff A mechanism of mutual information and regular consultation between the two
respective managers must be set up from the outset.

Technical Execution Plan (TEP) for the SDP. The priority task for the SNGO is to elaborate, based on
the detailed SDP guiding document, its practical time-bound technical execution plan (TEP) for
translating the SDP into a consistent sequence of operational activities tailored to the on-the-ground

'\-
physical and social characteristics of each subarea of the embankment &resettlement sites. This plan
should covering the first year of SNGO work and be structured along a quarterly calendar. The plan will
be reviewed and approved by the RBIP Manager and the World Bank, who may also ask comments from
the IPOE. Before the end of each quafter the preliminary plan for the next quafter must be re-examined
and adjusted in light of the previous quarter's lessons and outcomes.

Household Identity Cards (HIC). Another key priority task to be done jointly by SNGO and INGO is
to complete lhe household identity cards ("HIC") developed in basic form during the project preparation
phase for each affected family. The household identity card will then be the basic record to record and
monitor throughout the project implementation the activities for assisting re-settlers in their physical
transfer and in the restoration and improvement of their livelihood levels.

Synchronizing with critical pass for civil works. In designing the TEP, the SNGO must be aware of
the overall critical path of the project and particularly the calendar of civil works for equipping each of
the arrival sites, assisting in readying them for receiving the resettled inhabitants.

Start the work for recovery before - not after - displacement. The key principle that must guide
SNGO work in order to achieve "resettlement with development" is that its work on livelihood and
related issues should start even before the to-be-displaced households have left their current
habitat, and not (as often is mistakenly practiced) only after their arrival at the new site. The SNGO
should have its inputs into the planning for equipping the i5 new resettlement sites with services and
amenities upon which the standards of living of the re-settlers will depend.

Focus on identifying and counteracting re-settlers' possible post-displacement risks. A key principle
of the SNGO's implementation work should be the early identification of unanticipated risks in re-
settlers' recovery processes. In implementing the SDP, the SNGO will have to adjust to the two different
types of resefflement envisaged under RMIP. The welfare of the households that will choose self-
resettlement is no less important for the project than the households resettled by the project itself. Self-
re-settlers, however, may confront diflerent risks in their resettlement than the usual recovery risks that
may emerge for project-resettled households. Assisting the self-re-settlers will require different and
creative intervention patterns by the SNGO, which will have to monitor and assist the self-re-settlers who
will be scattered in the different "host communities" which they may choose. The SNGO should assist
in the smooth integration of self-re-settlers into the social fabric of the host communities and always
monitor the risks of competition for scarce natural resources between hosts and incoming families.

In assisting the self-re-settlers, the SNGO must monitor the potential risks of diverting cash compensation
to dysfunctional uses, resulting in self-relocation among squatters on another segment of the
embankment. The spontaneity element involved in self-resettlement may also trigger the risk that the
number of self-re-settlers in one or another existing "host" community may exceed the carrying capacity
of that community in terms of existing services and physical equipment (e.g. drinking water availability,
number of classrooms, prayer houses, etc.). The SNGO must provide feedback to RMIP, throughout
implementation, about such possible scarcity and propose the necessary adjustment.
\--(c[
 Collaboration with state administration and local village councils. The RMIP project policy is to
support, throughout project implementation, the capacity strengthening of state and community
administration at district, sub-district and village levels. The SNGO should be guided by this principle
during its work both at district and at grassroots village levels for implementing its TEP.

Supervision and Reporting (Inception Report, Monthly Implementation Report, Scheme Design, TOR
for Partner NGOs, Completion Report, Post-Evaluation Report).

Accountability and Reporting. The SNGO will submit to RIMP a monthly report on its activities,
accomplishments and potential difficulties. Each report should contain a brief outline of the main tasks
on the SNGO's agenda for the next month. The report for the last month of each quafter should give an
overview on the entire quafter.

It must be noted that the monthly performance repoft should focus not only on "inputs" but mostly
highlight the "progress" made in terms of results and "outputs" (as an example: reporting that 10-15
households have received training for a chicken raising scheme doesn't say how many families have
actually undeftaken such schemes). The zuMP performance assessment will put a premium on
accomplished "outputs" and not just on the delivery of "inputs".

o At the end of each project

year, the SNGO and INGOs will organize a joint-reporting workshop in which
the year's performance should be presented and discussed analytically with the participation of the
project management and other significant participants, to define lessons and priorities for the plan of the
following year.

G. SI.{GO TEAM AND ST'AFFING

The following expert positions would be required for staffing the Team for implementing the SDP. The
